Chi.'UKo .s.ui'ti.tN H ho ucivjiti'd eight chain cs in each of the four first Ka;iu-s tapping it off with nine in lii.s ii. xt and eleven in the next. Thompson's record is not quite so spectcular as that, but is is along the fume or dor. In bis first f.?ur! games he accepted 5.13, lo and 7: respectively?a total of 35,. which is better by thre?* than Grantham did. in his first four starts. Thompson, by the way, made his 35 without an error. Since then he has been going at a good clip and as he seems to be a fair hitter. Omaha j may be minus a second baseman! when the next baseball season starts.! Some big league may grab him. Thompson would have been a Columbia student had he remained' in the East. He won a scholarship at Columbia for his work at George ? Washington School, New York, but! gave up college to play ball. Hodap, the 18 year old Indiana-! poslis boy who attracted so much attention in the South by the ease with which he played shortstop, hasj not been released, as many expect-; ed, but is in Indianapolis gaining ex-, perience under Bush and will be' ready to play by another year. 1 Judging by the skill he showed in' Florida, it should not be long before I the scouts begin to nominate hinij for the bigger league. Kelleher, who was with the Chi-j cago Cubs and then was sent along to Boston and from Boston to PittB-| burgh, has been passed along tot Kansas City in order that Pittsburgh I might make good the promise ltj made to Kansas City when it got Wright as a shortstop. This is one of the kind of moves on which ball players kick. Tommy Long failed to do any thing with Brooklyn, and has been returned to Mobile with an option string on him by which Brooklyn can reclaim him if he shows any thing or can be used in a trade. Long has no curve, but he has an abundance of nerve. Connie Mack's pitchers are not only, -out of condition, but two or of them act as if they never expected to get in condition. Hasty gave about as slovenly exhibition of j pitching in the first start In New York as could be expected of a kid suffering from growing pains. Mack Is facing a hard situation and he knows it. More trouble seems to have fermented in his pitching staff than in his batting and fielding. Poor pitching is what has kept the athletics down where they are.

Otto Laakso, is one Finnish ath Sftie who seems sincere in his de sire to become an American citizen. He has already taken out his sec ond citizenship papers and expects to remain here for life. Laakso has all the qualifications of a great mar athoner and was expected to per form great feats In the Boston race. But he developed a sore foot before the event and was unable to start. The chances are that at the Olym pic of 1928 he will be quite a pros pect for the American team. Baseball's claims as a perilous sport have been brought to the fore by the injury of Kipke, Michigan's centerflelder. who Is out of the game temporarily at least with an injured knee. It will be recalled that Kipke has been playing football tf three years without material In Most football players who go in for baseball will tell you that the gridiron game holds nothing so nerve wracking as standing at bat against a pitcher who has got a whole lot of smoke. i If she's worth while, she'? worth WHITMAN'S" The Good Candy.
