He can’t cover the ground he once did and he lacks the old-time speed on the bases. Father Time fs taking In Manush, Detroit appears to have picked up the most promising outfielder of the year. He has wonderfiil natural ability. He lacks | only experience and confidence in that ability. “Manush is a great hitter right now. In a couple of yéars he will be one of the most talked about batters in the big show. He also gives promise of being an excellent fielder. In a couple of years he will have There you have Cobb’s opinion of Manush. Surely, Cobb, the greatest ball player of all time, the super batsman, should know a promising rookie when he gees one. Cobb has placed the stamp of approval on Manush. He is grooming the youngster to replace him in the outfield, for Cobb doesn’t figure’ he has more than a couple more years’ service in his system. Plenty Tough Breaks It’s a tough season for the piteh- ing idols. Four of the leading twirlers in the American League in 1922 were Ur- ban’ Faber, of the White Sox; Urban Shocker, Browns; Herman Pillette, Tigers, and Eddie Rommel, Athletics. Combined, this quartet turned in something like 92 victories or an average of 23 each. Which wasn’t Pét bad for a season's effort. Only Shocker Doing Well But thus far this season, only one of them, Shocker, has displayed any ility exhibited last year, He has performed nicely. But how: about the other three, Faber, Pillette and Rommel? They are far behind their regular stride, apparently. And their clubs obvious- ly have suffered to an appreciable . | extent. New York ...

Faber, to date, has lost more games than he has won. In fact, Detroit appears to be the only team he has on his hip. Game after game he has For Last Year’s Star Pitchers been pounded hard by the enemy batters. Others Show Up Poorly The same holds true Yor Pillette, who after a brilliant season in his first year in the majors, was looked upon as a future great. But, sv far, Pillette has dropped almost twite as many tilts as he has won, And Rommel! The fellow who adtonished ‘the entize basebal) world by winning 27 games with the s enth place Athletics in 1922— what's the matter with Eddie? Was his wonderful performance a year ago only a flash in the bucket? It would seem that way. For Rommel still is below the .600 mark in the percent- ages. Thus have three of the four star pitchers of 1922 got off on anything but the right foot. Counted upon as certain winners, they have so far fail- ed to show their reputed stuff. All of which shows that this is a tough season for pitching aces, {| By NEA. Service. Washington, July 30—Despite the fact that he has taken part in over a score of games since the American League season opened, it was not un- ti] June 19 that Pitcher Allan Rus- sell of the Washington club regis- tered a victory, a matter of just eight weeks, Russell has started only a very few games for Washington this year, filling what Manager Bush terms the pinch pitcher role, Sent to the relief of faltering Washington pitchers, Russell has saved a number of games for his club. However, the score at the time of his entrance into the game has always prevented him from being credited with the victory. In one of his few starts, two fly balls sent him down to defeat by a one- run margin, 4 Pitcher Russell Works in Over Score of Games Before Winning One Russell's first vetory of the sea- son came in a most unusual fash- ion. He was out of the game when the winning tally went over the plate, With Cleveland leading Wash- ington 5 to 0, the Nationals scored quintet of runs in the seventh, eveyi- ing the count. Russell was sent. in as relief pitcher. In the eighth inning Russi blanked Cleveland. Frank Brower, Hformer Washington player, was sént in as pinch hitter by Cleveland, in the ninth and responded with a home run, that it seemed would chalk ‘an- other defeat against Russell.. In the ‘last of the ninth Russell was re- moved for’ pinch hitter Hargrdye | pi who hit safely, and before the close of the session Washington Sed scored two runs and Russell had won his first game of the year, conte:t from Spain. The French’ team will comp®te in the round’ in the United States next month with the winner of the American zone competition. EMMONS COUNTY MINOT TAKES __. GAME EASILY Valley City. N.
