JOSH DEVORE IS NO VETERAN

Has Played in Four World’s Series With New York, Boston and Pittsburgh—3l Years Old. Many baseball fans speak of Josh Devore, Indian outfielder, as an old veteran. Josh is a veteran in baseball, and he has a record of having played in four world’s series with New York, Boston and Pittsburgh, but he is not an “old” veteran. He is only thirty-

one years old, as shown by the official dope book, which yearly prints his record from the time he broke into baseball in the Cotton States league in 1906. Devore shows earmarks of making a great comeback. His pins are steady again, he is a good fielder, a good base runner and he has been knocking the stitches out old apple since he joined the Indians. Josh was married last winter, and his more settled habits since that time appear to have given him new life.
