Neckwear Cut Silks, Knits and Foulards $l .00 to $3u50 to $7.50 NEW BRITAIN DAILY VHERALD, FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1028, Big Bird Pulls a Big Bird Floyd Johnson, the big new heavyweight sensation, doesn’t put in every Ist minute training for his bout with Jess Willard. He'’s shown here behind one of the speedy ostriches at Hot Springs, Ark., where he's working out. for the Philadelphla Athletics last year has been displaced as a regular. His season's batting average was 283 Leo Dickerman, the rangy recruit which Brooklyn bought from Mem- phis for $10,000, seems to measure vp to big league calibre. Judging from the silence encounter- ed on all sides, there is not a great deal of énthusiasm for another iocal Industrial baseball league. Time there was when city lcagues ‘| were the real hot stuff. When the Walnut Hill dlamonds were first laid out there was a rip snorting Ward league. And one of the snappiest players there was Jimmy Naughton, now a sedate manufacturer of cruellers, etc. And it doesn't seem 5o many years ago that the Y. M. C. A. nine with Bill Leupold in the box, was fighting it out for premier diamond honors with the Tabs, with Sherlock Riley on the mound. And at the High school it is doubt- ful if there ever was a twirler who surpassed Bill Walsh who worked along about 1908 through 1911. Bill, now a full fledged M. D, is officlal surgeon of the New York Giants. His last year at school saw a uni- que thing Inasmuch as his two broth- Inings of work, nothing ers were on the team he captained. With BIll in the box, John, now a naval llieutenant, in the garden and Charlle, now a law student at Yale, at second, there was a family aggre- gation hard to beat. Bill later was an intercoilegiate leader, twirling Fordham to many a victory. Urban “Red" Faber of the White Sox and Urban Shocker of the 8t Louls Browns were the two hardest worked pitchers in the major leagues last season. Faber was ig 43 games, hurling 353 innings, while Shocker toiled in five more tilts, but five less frames. The two Urbans led the field in labor by a wide margin. However these figures don't begin to compare with the “iron man" stunts that Ed Walsh of the White Sox used to pull when he was in his prime. F'rinstance, back in 1908, “Big Ed" toiled in 66 frays for a total of 464 innings. In 1910 he was in 45 games, or 369 sessions 1911, tiles, or 368 innings, and in 1812 hurled in 62 bouts, or 898 frames. Thus in those four seasons he aver- aged 57 games a campaign, or 399 in- soft about that. “Big E4" Walsh was surely an “iron man” when it came to taking his place in the pitcher's box. In fact he was a veritable glutton for werk He cboses apparel of quality—for quality apparel has the happy habit of giving you more tha you pay for. He voids exaggerated styles—that attract the same kind of attention as the “beard- ed lady’or the “two-headed calf.” Hywill find in our store plenty of live style, but no “trick stuff”—and quality that savesiim money through lasting gooed looks, and long service.
