Oddly enough, both are graduates from small Texas town clubs, and, at the outset of the Season, neither was given much consideration, "Walters is the best all-round catcher that - has come up to the majors since Ray Schalk's time," is the consensus of opinion among base- all men who have seen the peppery young Yankee in action. And about the young Cardinal, it is sald: "He is the most brilliant infielder, the best hitter and brain- fest youth that has flashed into view since Eddie Collins cast anchor in the big leagues." Walters came from Waco, Texas, while Hornsby was secured from Denison, Texas, a class D town. Walters' Great Arm. Walters, first of all, is a wonder- ful backstop. He pulls heaves out of the air or extracts them from the landscape with as much ease as he snares the straight-overs, Se- condly, he has a whip equalled by few men in the game. He is a snap thrower, and pegs with a deadly ac- curacy. He gets away with the ball with all most the same motion that he grabs it---the trick that marks the difference between ordinary catchérs and wonderful catchers. "Ty" Cobb had heard much of Walters' pegging power. He de- cided to test out the wing during the recent Yankee-Tiger series. Ty" took unto himself a twelve-foot lead and then shot for second with the swing of 'the pitcher's arm. The whirlwind Georgian was touched out standing up--tagged even before he had a chance to slide. The next time "Ty" essayed a steal he didn't have such a long lead. And then the coeky young Walters showed in what contempt he held Cobb, by playing a bit with the ball before he made the throw to second. And once again the play read: "Cébb out stealing, Walters to Gedeon." What has happened to Cobb has befallen the majority of other base runers who have tried to pilfer at Walters' expense. Few catchers -in the league are in Walters' class' as batters. During the first three months of the campaign he whanged the horsehide for an average above .300. Since then he has sluffed out somewhat, yet he ranks to-day as Jone of the most timely hitters in the game, Walters, as a batters, is «> Dever so good as in a pinch. Championship John B, Kelly, of the Vesper Boat Club, will accept the of Lieut. Robert Dibble, Canadian and Aferican champion single sculler, in the Canadian army, if he is successful in the national champion- ships, to be held at Duluth on Au- guest 11th and 12th. 5 Dibble will be unable to compete in the championships, as he is doing military duty, and could not get a furlough from the Canadian army, and the stipulation is that three races will be rowed, viz, one and one-quarter miles, one and one-half | miles, and another at three miles, at Barrie on September 17th. | | JOHNSON RULES OUT + MUSIC DURING PLAY. ¢ Bands must cease playing in American League ball parks while'games are in progress, ac- cording to a ruling made to-day Uy President Johnson. His de- cision was the result of a. pro- test made by the Cleveland Club because Umpire O'Laugh- lin stopped a band in the Indi» ans' park. "People come to ball games to see baseball," said Mr. John- son. "Music is all right be- tween innings, but not while the # PEEPS P0229 0000 oe Another Cuban has come back to the major leagues.

There were only two scheduled bowling games played at the green on Thursday night. William Jack- son's rink maintained itself at- the top by defeating W. H. Wormwith's rink by 13 to 9, and H. W.

The lacrosse club representing the Fourth Divisional Ammunition Col- umn, now in training at Petawawa, is seeking games. They would like to hook up with on of the Ottawa City League clubs fora game. Most of the players are from the Pacific coast and their team is said to be excep- tionally strong. -------- John McGraw says he has put over home very important deals in his life, clubs He will join the Cubs about August, 15th, Ritter, the former Toronto play- er, turned over by the Giants to Ro- chester, was turned over by the latter to Louisville, but the latter sent him back to Rochester because he was not in condition. Bill Bradley, the former Toronto third baseman, has started an action against the Brooklyn Federal League | club for salary amounting to $7,600 for 1916. The veteran Bobby Wallace, for- mer American League umpire, has signed to play the remainder of the | season , for the St. Louis Americans. | He will probably be used at third |® base. | Germany Shaefer recently started to play golf, and during one of his trips to Pittsburg he played a round on a local course, The comedian knows only a few of the terms of the game, but his power of éxpression and sense of humor stood him in stead in explaining his score on one of the holes, It appears that Ger- many holed out on a long hole in| four strokes. He made a splendid | drive, a good brasise shot which car- | ried him to the green, and then he | sunk the ball in two putts. Asked about his score, Shaefer said he was | but he never put one over that meant as much for him as the one he Just | made for Herzog.
