LAST OF OLD GUARD IS ABOUT THROUGH “Cotton Top” Turner Not Playing This Season, Terry Was Considered Fixture of Cleveland Team for Fiftecn Years Has Had Brilliant Career With the Indians, ‘Another familiar old face has passed from the big league. Or should we say an old famili shock of cotton hued hair? For we refer to old Terry “Cotton Top” Turner, who for 15 years | awus a fixture on the Cleveland Amer- ican league team, No more famous crop of hair was worn in the big leagues than the crop that adorned | Terry as he dug them up in deep short | or raced up the third base line to gobble up slow-hit grounders. Turner, who has been given his un- | conditional release, really is the last | of the old guard to go. The last few | years have seen the passage of the entire group of stars who shone so brilliantly in the late ’90's and the early years of the present century— Wagner, Lajoie, Wallace, Leach, Craw- ford, Plank, Evers, Bender, and now ‘Turner. It is true that Turner was a consid- erably younger man than the other | men referred to. Turner is only thir- ty-seven. Lajoie had been playing big league ball seven years before Terry |” won a regular berth with the old Cleveland Naps in 1904. But in the average fan’s mind Turner is associ- | ated with these older fellows, and fans got to such a stage that last year they | zs were calling Terry. “Old Grandpop.” } It seemed as though Turner had been with the Cleveland team for a century. jCLEVELAND fi, | SQUIRREL FOOD \F HE RAN OVER THE Toe STOP " 8 epi A.

Can you imagine a ball club dispos- ing of a pitcher for the highest bid? Well, s probably wouldn't happ ness other than bas , the case of “Dutch” Leonard. Presi dent Dunn of Cleveland wanted the ices of “Dutch” Leonard for the Indians.

In 1902 the Pirates released the lit- tle fellow to Columbus in the Amerl- can association. He played there two years and won fame as a third base- man. Cleveland needed no third base- men, as Bill Bradley, then in his prime, was guarding third base for the team. However, a place was found for Terry at short between the famous stars, Bradley and Lajoie, and it wasn’t long before Terry's fielding was on a par with that of this illustrious pair. Turner played. shortstop for. Cleve- land until 1910 when he was shifted over to third base, where he continued to play fine ball. In recent years Turner has not been considered a Cleveland regular, yet he got. in 74 games last year and hit .249, ere ae Qererevere + WHY JOHN PAUL JONES WON'T USE FAST BALL Lew McCarty tells an inter- esting story of John Paul Jones, the Giant youngster. now with the Toronto club, who is expect- ed to develop into. a major league hurler of first rank with a little more experience. “This spring,” says McCarty, “T tried to get Jones to cut loose with all the speed he had, for I could see he. was holding back, but he wouldn't do it. One day I asked him why he persisted in keeping under wraps and he told me. “‘Once I was pitching against the best pal I have,’ he said ‘and I cut loose with a fast ball. My control wasn’t good and the ball hit him in the hip. The injury laid him. up for three months and marked the end of his base- ball career. Since then I've never put all 'my speed on a ball.’” eee Gharrity a Real Catcher. Gharrity this season is a vastly im- proved catcher.

A mere matter of $2,500 in such a case meant nothing to the millionaire owners of the Yankees. was lost to Jim Dunn, even though he was willing to raise the ante of Frank Navin. The New York Sun pertinent- remarks: “When Chris son and Branch RicWey played ball each had clauses put in their contracts that they would be exempted from Sunday ball games. Matty coached on Sunday, but Rickey does not go that far. He won't even manage a team on Sunday, But suppose all his players took the same at- titude? What then? Seems to be a ‘conscientious objector’ on the question of Sunday ball and yet not averse to profiting there- from. To be entirely consistent Mr. Rickey should have no con- nection whatever with any or- ganization that aids and abets Sunday baseball for profit.” Dita brates sh 0tr eee Ont é oe Thinking of Strenuous Days.
