When the final averages are drawn, you are likely to find his name far down the list. The best batters generally perform in just the opposite fashion. Starting slowly, they gain momentum and come roaring down the stretch in the hot weather. Reynolds really should be one of the leading batters in the Amer- ican League. He has a keen batling eye, and is anything but an easy mark at the plate. He takes a hard, natural cut at the ball, and gets plenty of power into his drives. Apparently he has everything—and yet his average wilts in the heat. The logical conclusion to draw is that the pitchers catch up with HE WiT 318 LAST\SEASON _AND 1S SHORTSTOP WASHKING TON HAS TRIED SINCE JOE CRON\};J LEFT ynoon’s ball playing, he gets in jand last year was shifted to the THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, MAY 19, 1936.

The sinus trouble, however, did not start until five years ago. It brought terrible headaches and spots befcre his eyes. The sinus begins to bother him with the arrival of hot weather when, perspiring from his after- a |draft. The next day his troubles bowl him over.

A Fixture at Short Washington evidently has settled on Cecil Travis for the shortstop berth. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound “Jawja” cracker, who still moves around with an awkward country slouch, started as a third baseman outfield. He is not yet a finished shortstop, but is learning fast under Bucky Harris' tutelage. And one feature in his favor—he can powder the ball. The youngster, who made his debut in the big show by pound- ing out five hits in his first game, and who batted .318 last season, cost Clark Griffith exactly $300. Joe Engel, Griffith’s aide at Chattanooga, bought him from Kid Elberfeld, the old major league star, who had noticed his promise while Travis was attending an El- berfeld baseball school at Augusta, | Ga. Only 22 years old, Travis is definitely headed for stardom. e s e 0000000000 A. THE HOTELS ° Gasimeau ! Lewis Nunenkamp, Seattle; K. T. MacLeod, Seattle; Frank Parrish, Seattle; J. B.

Syres will be forced to launch two other vessels in order to gét the Forester off the P.AF. ways, and also sidetrack a pile- driver, it was reported, and the Sea Scouts are very appreciative of the work which he will undergo in order to bring the Forester to them. The donated vessel was built in Seattle in 1914 for the Hoonah | Packing Company and later pur- chased by the P.AF. | | The dimensions of the boat are (es follows: 46 gross tons, 27 net tons.
