Young Hurler Out After Position With Spokes The desire of every young and ambitious ball player is to be given a chance with a big league team. And an opportunity to show one’s wares to the manager of the w’orld’s champions furnishes a still greater thrill.' Nelson Potts, young hurler dug up by Scout Pat Flanerty of the Cleveland Spokes, is to be given that maximum thrill. He is receiving a tryout with Speaker’s boys at Dallas. Potts' home is In Cincinnati. He first gained notice pitching for the Pleasant Ridge team in 1918. He won fourteen and lost two games, and In between times played five games in the outfield and batted .400. He pitched semi-pro ball in 1919 and was hurling for a Cincinnati team last year when a thirteen-inntng shutout victory drew Pat Moran's attention and Potts was given a brief trail. Then Pat shipped him to the Delta League and he won eight out of eleven i games. After the league closed he won five and tied one game for the Milan (Tenn.) Club. The tie game was a six-teen-inning scoreless battle. r Youngest Mitchell Seeks Go With Champ Britton Pinky Mitchell, a member of that fightln’ family o’ Mitchells of Milwaukee, is hard on the trail of Welterweight Champion Jack Britton. Although Pinky's been fighting as a lightweight he believes he’s the man ordained to cop Britton’s crown. Pinky has met Britton and it must be said to his credit the Wisconsin lad gave the crafty champ a real battle. It was a no-declslon affair. Pinky wants a de cislon battle. Mitchell’s great showing against the tough Willie Jackson a short time ago helped boost his stock. Pinky has been fighting the best of the little fellows. He is the youngest of the three brothers. His oldest brother, Willie Mitchell, manages him.
