He iz Ping Bodie, who has been kidded ever since he broke into the Dbig leagues. Ping went to the White Sox heralded as a fence buster, and when he failed to live up to his reputation he was joshed so much that he had to leave the team. But Bodie appears to have found himself. He has been largely instrumental in the rejuvenated Yanks winning. The club is climbing to the front, and Bodie's stick is responsible. big Cincinnati, May 24.—Boston gvened MINNEAPOLIS G S WYCKOF Weldon Wy Boston, May off, of the Phila- delphia Ame was released by 24 J formerly Te- a pitcher ans, ! clash STAR HAMPTON WINS Walter Jefiord’s Colt Defeats Class Ficld of Juveniles at Ja- maica Track.
