Ry signing Charley Garrlty, better known as the "Rabbit, ' the Tos Angeles Huh yesterday put something over on some of iis big league rivals. Jim JIorle3' is now en route to this city with Garrlty's . contract in his Innido coal pocket, having been dispatched to Ray. Ariz., by President Presi-dent Powers for that purpose.

A meriean association umpire, who stopped over in Arizona to umpire fl few games on his way went last fall. It seemed then that the Angels had such a. wealth of material that no action was taken on the recommendation- Since then the kid's work has been of such a sensational order that bis fame spread Shoth east and west from Ray.

Cir ri tv is bat ting next lo tiie lead In the Tt i-'opper league, and ts up against good pitching in every game with such men as Pel hi and I 'out on the job, and enjoys the unique distinction of not having juggled jug-gled a ground ball Ibis season. Uarrity was signed ns a utility Infielder, as was Knsh. all of which merely means that there is likely to be a revision of the Angel infield later, as the Huh really has no use for so many utility men. The "Rabbit" will join the Angels in Salt Lake next week, probably arriving there Wednesday. IOs Angeles Times. POP.TI.AXl, lM-e.. July o. In view nf the many double-headers coming up.

So far as he knows, Kvans has passed completed com-pleted fiom the control of l lie Reavers and Harslad may be in the same boat. Al any rate. Spokane would hardly sacrifice sacri-fice itself by turning over a ball plaver to Portland mil il its season has been Hosed. As lone as we started nut to discuss bard -working pitchers, we must not overlook over-look J. Couch. J. ha s been worke t o er- 11 me. and now t he Seals, as well as J. himse'f. are suffering. . 'Couch was going good for a while, a no f was only too willing to pitch more than bis share of the games, when his pitch-iug pitch-iug brethren were on the shelf for vari-r vari-r (ins reasons. .1. Couch is a husky speci men of the genius homo, but lie isn't made of steel. Neither is there any cast iron in his general make-up. Harry Wol-verlon Wol-verlon is slowly discovering this truth. J. Couch knew it when he started out on Ids hurling career. Overworking pitchers to win a couple of series generally causes the loss of the hurlers for a long period of time, and may be used in a pinch Instead of the fable of the bug that failed to store up some eats for a tough winter. The moral is the tame. San Francisco Bulletin. Vernon has put a price of $4000 on the contract of Swede Risberg, with the proviso pro-viso thai the Hub which buys him must let him finish the present season with the Tigers. The Chicago White Sox and St. Louis Cardinals both have been after the Coast star, as well as the Pittsburg Pirates. Hugo Bezdek, coach of the University Uni-versity of Oregon, has recommended the terrible Swedish pastimer very highly to Harney Dreyfus. Bez scouts for the Pirates during the off season'. ' It is suspected that the White Sox have the inside track. The Oakland players introduced a novel feature into yesterday's game across; the bay. Roxy Middle ton recently became the proud father of a bouncing boy. and when be went to bat In the first inning the game was stopped while Foghorn Murphy lifted up his voice and said: "Ladles and Gemm'n: The members of the Oakland ball club desire to express their friendship and goo.l will toward the Middle ton family by presenting this set of gold pins to their latest recruit, Wayne Hafele Mid die ton, known to the bail players as Roxy Junior. And there's something else, besides." Then Murphy unwrapped the "something "some-thing else." which proved to be a pink silk bed quilt, baby size. San Francisco texaminer. What has happened to Rillv Lane's base-running feel? Hill started' off like forty racing cars when the gong rang for the first round in April. Bill was beating throws to the bases bv yards and stealing sacks standing up. He was sliding slid-ing away from throws, beating: out Infield In-field hits and running like a scared jack rabbit at all times. We hate to think of Ihe last time Rill stole a base. Pie is beating out the hits as hefore. fie can go and get flv balls that look like sure base hits. He can stretch a single Into a double every now and then. But he cannot steal a base. Iane is still trying to steal, but Is turned back time after time, each "trip by a larger margin. In other words, the spirit is willing, but apparently the flesh l weak very weak. San Francisco Bulletin. R is likely that Paul Fitlerv will he given Hose scrutiny by the scouts from I lie big brush.
