NOTES of the DIAMOND

Hal Chase has started hitting. ♦• - * Sicking, shortstop for the Phillies, Id some base stealer. * • • Joe Jackson, in spite of his age, remains a fast fielder. Arthur Sparks continues to be Tulsa’s best pitching bet. # * • e Lees, the young catcher obtained from the White Sox, looks and acts like Ray Schalk. Maranville is still catching fly balls in the "pocket glove” style, with hands pressed to his belt. * * * Josh Devore, veteran major league player, has been unconditionally released by Indianapolis. • • • Roy Corhan is back in the lineup of the San Francisco Seals after a layoff due toan Injury. . ♦ • • The wonder is how Scott Perry can keep up his courage pitching for a gang of misfits like the A’s. Commander Cravath threatens to do all in his power to deprive the Phillies of their amateur standing. ♦ • * Gharrity is a handy gent to have around. He plays first, the outfield or behind the bat, and docs all well. -•• • 1 • Tony Boeekel, not good enough for Pittsburgh, has won the third-bas® job with the Bostoii Brates.
