The Dallas outfield for a week mas
badly weakened by the absence of
Chick Mat tick who was called to St.
Louis by the death of his brother.
However Mat tick returned in time- to
open the series with Port Worth. The
defensive strength of the team was
perceptibly improved from the mo-
ment of his return. His batting too.
has been of a very satisfactory or-
der. Doc Cook since his return to
the team has played good baseball
and Callahan has starred In the sinis-
ter pasture. Thus it will be seen that
the Giants' outfield at this writing
is as good as it has been at any other
stage of the championship race.
The locals infield has not been
playing up to its best form especially
since the sudden and unexpected de-
parture of short fielder LitsehL who
jumped the team tm-o weeks asro.
Benny Bromnlow. a dependable utility
player has been shoved into the
breach caused by the action of Litschl.
Brown low at best is not a flashy
workman but he is a good consistent
laborer. With but little or no real
action this season. Brownlow nan
slowed down on doing bench duty
and is not playing the game at short-
field that Litschi did before his de-
parture. JeiTel En has evidenced a tH-

EW YORK. Aug. 14. When the
baseball season opened in April
much doubt was expressed re
garding Jack Barry's ability to make
good as a manager of the world's
champion Red Sox.
The season is now waning and
within a few weeks Barry will lead
his team Into the home stretch bat-

Pirate Bugs Are Disgusted
at Management For Re-
lease of Outfielder.
Pirate fans who have been lending
encouragement to the Forbes Field
youngsters are criticising the Pitts-
burgh management for the too hasty
action in asking for waivers on out-
fielder Joe Wiraoit. writes Charles
J. Doyle m the Pittsburgh Gazette-
Times. The explanation given for the re-
quest for waivers at a time when the
team was equipped witb only four
outfielders tells of an anticipated
trade with a minor league club which
which would bring a dependable gar-
den man in exchange for Wilboit-
Xf it were possible to get a good man
in return under tnese conditions a
deal would have been justified but
the Pittsburgh bosses should have
known that a youngster with a Kood
baiting mark would draw the atten-
tion of other major league managers.
When the Pittsburgh club secured
Wilhoit over the waiver route from
Boston be was batting about -ISO. His
offense showing with that club was
excellent when it is considered that
he was working uice: a manager
who is said to be e-'remely severe
when his club is losing as is the
case with the K raves this season.
Wilhoit reported to the Pirates full
of hope and glad of an opportunity to
plav on another team. He was given
a scant trial in Boston one sunny
afternoon. He as sent to what is
known as the worst sunfield in the
National league and relieved I-ee.
