a
famous southsidc flinger of years
ago when Nap Lajoie was a star with
the Cleveland Club.
Gregg is 40 years old and to all
accounts had seen his best days ten
years ago, but the mentor of the
Yankees believes that séuthside

The Yankee scouts may trail along
to the home of a former Gettysburg

This cclebrated southpaw twirlcd a

I'p in Boston the critics believe
that. the return of Dutch Leonard to
the Tigers just at a. time when the
club is in need of vtterans for the
hurling hill may mean the pennant
for the Detroits. 'i‘hu showing that
Leonard made against the Yankees
when he faced them Sunday was
proof that. one of the greatest south-

ever.

at the Hub, a town whr‘rc he won his
fame as the star southpaw of Bill
(‘nrrignn's world champions. Leon—
ard seemed surprised at the attitude
of (he fans at. the. Yankee Stadium.
He said:
“It scorned as though half of the
fans at. theytadium were rooting for

"They tell me." said Leonard.
"that Boston is still a good baseball
town in spite of the rough going
in recent years. I can say that I
always liked this city to play in and
am glad to get hock after being
away since 1932. I often think of
the players that have worn the Red
Sox- uniform in the last ten years.
“What a wonderful team could

Leonard has returner] 'to the game
with his enthusiasm fresh and un-
wcaried by the strain of midsoason
pennant hunt. Frank O’Rourke. who
is Leonard‘s room mate. and also a
Red Fox alumnus said: "Leonard's
enthusiasm is giving the boys 9.

tell you it means somPthinn‘ on the
