Borsa LEVINSKY went West in search of more victims, but he didn't find one in Bob Moha. In a ten-round bout at Milwaukee las: aight Moha won a clean-cut decision from the local pride. It wan a case of a rip bang slugger against a clever two-handed boxer and the fighter won hands down.

HAS A BIG LEAGUE PITCHING DEPARTMENT. ! The pitching department of the Chifeds Is as strong as that of more than half the clubs in the bix leagues, Instead of training with the Brooklyn | Feds, Tom Seaton is here with Tinker and expects to stay, Asa reward for his jumping Tom has asked Mr. Gil- more to fix It so that he can be trans- ferred and remain with his friend Ad Brennan, who aiso jumped from the Phillies, In addition to Seaton and Brennan the Chifeds have Hendrix, formerly of the Pirates, and who won twenty games for Pittsburgh last sea- son. Seaton’ and Hendrix atone, backed up by a good club and one or jtwo fill in pitchers, ought to be able to win a pennant, Tinker has ten other twirlers, most of whom are merely excess baggage. Still, a few of them are promising. There is Lange, formerly a White Sox, for in- stance, and Swann, the boy who holds the strikeout record, having fanned | twenty-three men in a minor league game two years ago, | The catching department in well looked after by Arthur Wilson, for- merly a Giant, and Block, lute of the Chicago White Sox, I ure both in excellent shape and ure giving Tinker a lot of help in straightening out the jumble of bushleaguers who came here with little reputation and| just as little ability, Some of them are as green and awkward as high school boys, and it is difficult to un- derstand how they fooled anybody; into a contract. Among the former big leaguers here there Is left a tinge of real suntiment for their old teams and teammates. The first question Arthur Wilson asked was: “What do the boys over at Marlin think of me jumping?" He was as- sured that all of them had vent their best regards, « “I am mighty glad to hear that,” he sald, “because I wanted to go to TOM SEATON ONLY ABSENTEE FROM CAMP OF BROOKLYN FEDS COLUMBIA, 8.
