Show DIAMOND NOTES Manager McGraw has Bent eight rookies to the bushes. Jack Dalton, veteran outfielder, ha! been signed by the Reds. Little Mel Wolfgang will be one ol the mainstays of the Sox pitching staff this year. Connie Mack has been disappointed over the showing of his pitching staff so far this spring. With Gandil and Speaker, the Indians In-dians will be a very different team for pitchers to face this summer. Manager Callahan of he Pirates says he will carry two southpaws this year. Kantlehner will be one. Billy Smith of the Richmond Internationals Inter-nationals may keep George Kircher just to amuse the fans, if nothing else. One of the sweetest notes in the symphony of spring is the crack of the home star's bat on the nose of the ball. Having once worked at the plumbing plumb-ing trade, James J. Callahan allows the pennant race is a "pipe" for the Pirss. Heilman, who plays first base for the Tigers, is a native son of California Califor-nia and played with the San Francisco Francis-co Seals last year. Connie Mack has refused to enter into an agreement with George Stal-Iings Stal-Iings to play another exhibition series in Florida next spring. In view of the fact that the Giants wear sporting caps which make them resemble railway engineers, why not label them the Casey Joneses? It looks very much as if Griffith had picked up a mighty handy man in Gharrlty, who is not only a good catcher but can hit and is fast on his feet. Larry Miller, th young Brooklyn outfielder, is a son of Sebastian Miller, Mil-ler, the famous professional strong man. Larry is a chip of the old block. Fighters always have the edge on ball players when called upon for the festive alibi. They can look to a bone, whereas it's different with fhe ball players. "Ray" Morgan of Washington is playing the best ball of his career. Morgan will fill the second base position po-sition to perfection if he attends to business. Statistics prove that the old-fashioned umpire who used to lot the crowds crack pep bottles on his head is now as extinct as the dodo. oThlem of pacifism. |
