MITCHELL MAY HAVE ERRED

Cdb Manager May Have Passed Up Star When He Let Reuther— He Is Hard Hitter. It may be that coming events will stamp Fred Mitchell as having passed up a trick. He cut Dutch Reuther away from the Cub payroll and the southpaw hitting pitcher became a member of Christy Mathewson’s marvelous Reds. Reuther was doing fair pitching for the Cubs and his ability to be stationed most anywhere as a utility player makes him doubly valuable. He is one of the best hittingpitchers in the big league. .
