BY BILLY EVANS do some players who are sensations in the minors fall to @eliver in the majors? Why do other players who meet develop into major league stars? That has been a deep, dark mys tery for years to major league Scouts and managers. It will prob- ably remain so forever. Tt is peculiar, too, for the rough fundamentals of the game are the same in the minors as in the ma- tors. : Take the case of James Roy Wal Ker, a stx-foot right-handed pitcher of speed, curves and enough pitching etuff, according to major league ex perts, to live a long life as a major leaguer. Walker was given a trial with the Cleveland Indians about six years ago. He was noted for contro! In the minors. In the American league he four-bailed his way back to the minors. PULLED A COMEBACK In the minors again, Walker re gained his bearings and once more Pitched himself to a major league trial. In 1918 he became a member ‘of the Chicago Cubs. But Walker failed for the second time. In looking for pitching strength for his Cardinals in 1921, Branch Rickey was tipped off then with the New Orleans Pelicans. Walker had won 27 games and lon 11 with New Orleans. In the Southern league that year were Johnny Glazner, Johnny Morrt- son, Clyde Rarfoot, Indian Yellow horse, Thomas Sheehan, Johnny Suggs and Dazzy Vance, all of whom sAvanced to the majors. Walker was touted as easily the best prospect of the bunch, 4 pitcher ready to take his turn ax a big league regular. That's what Rickey ‘was looking for.

Five games were won by shutouts and he had three one-hit victories. Major league scouts may that there fant another pitcher who compares with Walker as a minor league pitcher. But the color changes when Walker tackles the big-time stuff. HOLYOKE, Maas.—Red Chapman, Boston, won a 10-round decision from Romeo Roche, Holyoke.
