And the rest of the club is well-fixed. I don't see how we can help being right up there.” The boys smiled, as much as to say: “Oh, Yeah?” 1t is Gabby who can smile now, for he has not only driven the Car- dinals up to the vanguard and kept them there but also kept his job, which is something when the short life of his predecessors is consid- ered. As proof of how the old-timers; hang on, Vean Gregg is still throw- ing his left-handed puzzlers up to the plate, baffling the boys in the‘ Timber league of the Pacific North-' west. Gregg in a recent game for! the Hoguiam (Wash.) entry pitched ! a two-hit victory over the Kelso[ Timber Wolves. ) Gregg was ace of the American’ League southpaws twenty years ago, at a time when Mathewson and Marquard were National league stars. With Cleveland, Gregg led all the American league pitchers iAn‘ 1911, winning 23 and losing only 7 games. Gregg, now 43, apparently. intends to end his baseball days where he started them .He was born in Che- halis, Wash., and got his start profeszsionally at Lewiston, Idaho, zoing from there to Spokane and Portland, before being sold to Cleve- land for $4,500. ., NOTICE Leaving Juneau June 14 for ten WELLAT WON'T BE Long | NOW- AN GEE-BOY!
