DIAMOND NOTES

The Cleveland club has released pitcher Shoup to Portland. * * * If the Pirates win the pennant Pittsburgh will be just as gloomy as ever. • • * The Chattanooga club has sold Outfielder Sylvester to Waco of the Texas League. ♦ * • Evers may lose his throwing arm and his batting eye, but his chin will go on forever. * • • You may have a lot of tough luck, but you can always be thankful that you are not a minor league magnate. • ♦ • “B E Z” may be the first letters of Hugo Bezdek’s name, but his players say “be easy” is not his motto by any means. • • • The veteran outfielder, Al Schweitzer, last year with Rochester in the International, has joined Joe Tinker’s Columbus team. While the Americafa association will have no set rule on It, the opinion seems to be that practically all clubs will start games late this season. • ♦ * Outfielder Roy Wolfe, who played with Rock Island last year until the Three-I league suspended; has been signed by Wichita of the Western league. * • * Heine Zim is in form. He won a footrace with a bush leaguer in an exhibittmi gqme the other day. He is now ready to resume his pursuit chase of Eddie Collins. You want to be cdrefhl this season and not ask the peanut boy to give you a bag of “hot roasted thrift stamps.” The venders will have the "“war savles” for sale, which is one more way the national pastime is to help Uncle Sam.
