lng to make a strong bid for the
varsity baseball team at at. Law-
rence University. which is located
in Canton. N. Y. ilolh sailick and
O'Brien are first your man at St.
Lawrence. The local boys entered
the New York college in the tall
alter receiving athletic scholarships.
The St. Lawrence team has not
been out-ot-doors yet. due to the
cold Weather. The candidates have
been working out inside for the past
month and are ill pretty good shape.
A squad of no men report each day.
’l‘hero will be strong competition and
the Norwalk lads will have to fight
hard in order to win a place on the
team.
A! the present time the squad re-

Both the second base and catch-
ing positions are vacant. This means
that Baillck and “Peck'.' will be in
the midst of the scrap for these
berths. Sallick covered second base
for the Norwnllt H. 5. team last
year. O'Brien was a combination
catcher and pitcher. O'Brien was the
catcher when Erwin Holmes was on
the mound. Whacfioltnes went bad
or had a day of rest. O’Brien took
the twirling burden. Both O‘Brien
and Sntlick are heavy hitters and
good basemnners.

Jskle Ate. who has won six pen-

In the flock of recruits that re-

usual characters.
Several years ago Jake sent u-sns-
portation to a highly recommended
youngster living in a small\ Texas
town about.y 800 miles from 11
Worth.
The youngster was told to report
on a Monday. When Friday had
come around and he had failed to
put in an appearance. At: began an
investigation. A wire to his home
town brought the reply that the
young man had left six days back.
' Ate had noticed a big husky
youngster sitting in one of the field
boxes for several days and. as he
tallied somewhat to the description
of the recruit, Jack salted him his
name.
He discovered‘the youngster was
the missing rookie that he had been
watching practices for five days.
When pressed for a reason he simp-
ly replied:
“Well. you all seemed so busy
down there I Just didn’t want to
bother anyone."
By the way. that. player is now a
big league star.

On the whole. we would not be

The big exception was the old Bos-

the Athletics four straight. winning
the World's title.
There is too much strength scat-
