of the reasons why he's going to be

better than any young ball player I
ever saw. He’s a bright kid and
doesn’t have to be told more than once
how to do anything, and when he’s at
the plate he's always trying to out-

ers. And he does too. When the
infield is pulled in for him, he smacks
hits over their heads, and when they
play back, he dumps the ball in front
of the plate.”

TRIS SPEAKER’S HUNT
For another outfielder
Ended the other day when the Cleve-
land Indians finally framed a long
talked of deal with the Washington
Senators whereby Joey Evans, third
baseman and later outfielder, was
traded by the Cleveland club for Frank
Brower, slugging outfielder.
Owner Griffith was anxious to ac-
quire Evans to play third base regu-
larly, and this made the deal possible.
Evans had planned repeatedly to quit
baseball to practice medicine. Lack
of a regular berth witl the Indians
had caused the condition. Evans, orig-
inally a third baseman, had been play-
ing left field against righthanders only
for Tria. v
Manager Speaker announced last fall
that he would* not feel satisfied with
his 1923 team until he had added a
right hand hitting outfielder. Brower
hits from the left side or the plate, but
his work is equally as brilliant against
left handed pitching, so it is generally
believed Spoke will rest with Brower.
Brower is a slugger. lie hit .295 last
year and of his 138 hits twenty were
doubles, six were triples and nine were
homers. That he is considered dan-
gerous and can pick the good ones is
in.dicated by the fact that he drew
fifty-two passes.
Brower joined Washington from
Reading three years ago. His home
run clouting with Reading drew atten-
tion. He started out to be a pitcher.
He starred as a hurler for Washington
and Lee University, from .which school
he was graduated.
He was given a tryout by the Car-
dinals in 1914 and joined the Utica
team in 1915. The following season,
when given a tryout by the Phillies,
he was advised by Pat Moran, then
pilot of the Quaker City team, to give
up pitching and go in for outfielding.
Pat returned Brower to Utica, where
he remained until 1917, when he went
to Portland, Maine.
After the war he joined Reading.
In the 1920 season he hit .388 in 107
games and drove out twenty-two honqe
runs. aHe was born in Gainesville, Va.
March 26, 1894.

Charging that the,careement be-
tween the major and minor agues
is “nothing but a scrap of paper,"
President William H. McCarthy of
the Pacific Coast league, has
thrown down the gauntlet to tho
big leagues. He says he will fig t
the recent acti. of the majors in
striking at the minor league clubs
that have ignored the draft agree-
ment by announcing n players

Pictures of Austin musicians who
perform at WNAS will appear each
week in the Radio Digest, a publication
devoted to the dissemination of radio
news and events, it was announced
Saturday night by Dr. J. B. Hall,
director of WNAS station, operated
jointly by the Texas Radio Corporation
and The Austin Statesman. Dr. Hall
stated he had received a letter Satur-
d-from the Radio Digest requesting
at least one picture a week of artists
who render their services to WNAS
for publication in the magazine, which
has a circulation of over one million
readers throughout the United States.
One paragraph of the letter con-
taining the request is as follows:
"We especially desire as many photo-
graphs of your artists as we can secure
without seeming greedy. Photos will
be returned upon request. Your artists
will appreciate the publicity, and we
will appreciate your co-operation. We
Would appreciate if your director would
send us at least one picture a week,
but be sure to send us full information
as to the ability and talent of the sub-
. ject of the picture. We have a sub-
scription of over one million, and the
radiu fans like to know and see a pic-
ture of the artists they are nightly
hearing as they do over your station.”
As a token of appreciation for the
service rendered by the artists to this
station, Dr. Hall has made arrange-
ments with the well and favorably.
known Kamrath- studio at 6121 Con- .
gross avenue to take the picture de-
sired by the magazine of any artist
who has performed over WNAS, and
have same charged to the Texas Radio
Corporation. Mr. Kamrath will then,
turn the picture over to Dr. Hall, and
he will see that a deserving writeup
will be sent to the Radio Digest, and
artists will then receive" the compli-
mentary publicity their talent- and
generosity merit.
________The manage ment of W NA S ha s for
some time felt that some way should
be worked out by which the appre-
ciation of the services rendered to the
public by these generous artists could
be made known to them, for we have
seen wonderful programs night after
night rendered over WNAS, without a
single acknowledgment of appreciation
of the beautiful music Austin's artists
have sent to all parts of the country.
In fact, such cities as Philadelphia,
New York and other Eastern cities
have been more gracious to local art-
ists in their expressions of the won-
derful quality and talent possessed by
Austin's gifted performers than the
local fans have personally made known.
Beginning next Tuesday night,
WNAS will put into operation the
announcing over the' radiophone all
telephone calls and postals received by
us as expression of the appreciation
of the pregrams. This is done in all
other cities, and It is felt that some-
thing must be done to let the artists
realize that their music is being es-
teemed. If the station is to continue
furnishing entertainment and permit
the world to know the talent that the
capital city of the largest state in the
Union possesses.
Next week. In order to better serve
the public, there will be periods at
three times a week when the code will .
be taught over WNAS. The letters
will be first sent out by voice, then
by code repeated at least five times
very slowly. so that any- one can dis-
tinguish the dots from the dashes.
This will enable all listeners to learn
the code and regd All that is going
through the air.
Also, beginning next week, neighbor-
ing cities will put on entire programs
over WNAS. On Thursday night a
program will be given by Taylor.
Howard Bland, one of Taylor’s most
prominent citizens, has arranged a
program as follows:
Frank Welsh, banker, will give a
short address on the opportunities and

burg and Cincinnati McGraw picks the

""The Pirates are strong in the outfield
and infield. fast on the bases, steay
fielders and a chib that wiil get'good

keep up quite such a heavy batting
clip, but he is a very hard hitter and
Carey is a demon in centerfield. The
Reds’ are strong, also, but Rixey had

This Invitation was issued more
than 110 years ago by officers of the
Savannah (Ga.) Golf Club, according
to the Glasgow Evening Citi ten, which
states that the notice appeared in the
form of an advertisement in the Sav
vannah Museum, a newspaper bearing
the date of Nov. 25. 1811, a copy of
which has just been found in the files
of the Savannah Historical Society.
The location of the links of the golf
club is not known, and just what was
the character of the game in the early
days is not recorded. But that golf
was played in Savannah early in the
Nineteenth century is a fact. nnd that
it was played by Scotchmen is equally
true, says Golf Illustrated, Harold Hil-
ton’s golf publication.
"That the golf club was conducted
along the lines of the modern clubs
however, may be assumed from infor-
mation contained in one of its invita-
tions to a dance on the night of Dec
31. 1811.” continues the article. "It
was found between the leaves of an
old family Bible nearly 100 years later.
It reds:
