St. Louis INJURED ARM, BAD EYESIGHT, IS LATEST DOPE Star First Sacker's Condition Is Clothed in Secrecy— Hasn't Joined Club, ST. LOUIS. April 11.—The biggeet mystery, in baseball today surrounds i the case of George Sisler. the best first j sacker in the universe. Whether Sisler will start the season with the Browns, whether he will be in shape to return to hie position in mid-season or whether he will never again slip on his mitt are questions worrying the St. Louis fans. Sisler's c-asc is interesting as well as mysterious. It will be remembered that he fell upon his right shoulder in fielding a wild throw at the fag end of last season. The ligaments were torn and Sis was advised to rest for the remainder of the year. Against the advice of his physicians he played in the series with the Yankees that meant winning or losing the pennant for the Brown-. Took Costly Chance Adhering to one of the traditions of the game may cost the Browns the 1923 pennant, even worse, it may terminate the career of one of the greatest players in the history of the sport. Tn baseball no other word carries the sting of "quitter.” To be branded as yellow is baseballs greatest disgrace. t'nfortunately for George Sisler. he was injured on the very eve almost of the important series of the year, a three-game session with the Yankees that really decided the pennant. Sisler was in no shape to play against the Yankees. His physicians forbade his even donning a uniform. But Sisler, game to the core, thought only of what his fellow teammates as well as the other players in the league might say. Played on Nerve Alone The word 'quitter'' ringing in Sisler's ears. He played on nerve alone, simply because he Jidn t want the baseball world to comment on his failure to perform In the big event of the year. Present indications are that the club and Sisler are to pay a heavy toll. Several weeks ago rumors were heard that everything was not all right with Sisler. A serious case of influenza, contracted during the winter. developed into serious complied tions of the nose and sight. Sisler did not go South. Nor will he join the team before it returns to St. Louis. His physicians admit that he has been having trouble with his eyes, and it is reported that he must undergo an operation on his nose. But everything is clothed with the deepest secrecy. Aside from his physicians no one really knows his condition.

BOSTON SOX END SERIES WITH TRIBESMEN TODAY Pittsburgh Pirates Will Be the Attraction Next Saturday and Sunday,

The Boston Red Sox again today. The Indians were hopeful of playing better defensive ball in the wrtndup game of the exhibition series with Frank Chance's Hubtown boys. The contest Tuesday went to the big leaguers, X 0 to 3. It was an afternoon of miseueß for the Tribesmen. They were away off form. The Hendrioksmen acted as though they had grandstand fright, and errors were frequent. Howard Ehmke, former Detroit hurler, pitched for the Red Hox and Caret and Seib for the Indians. The Indiana hit good, but as for their fielding, oh well, maybe it was too warm for ’em They acted as though they had thawed out too soon. Among the Well-Known The fans had something to cheer about at any rate. The famous Frank Chance was there and Shano Collins. George Burns, Wilson Fewster, Howard Shanks and a few other big leaguers familiar to baseball. From an Indianapolis standpoint the hitting of Eddie Brown featured. The big fellow sent four slashing singles to left field in five trips to the plate. It didn't make any difference what Ehmke threw —Brown was having a big day and he cracked everything. His hitting buddie. Jay Kirke. got only one safe, but it can be taken for granted he soon will join up with Eddie in slugging the ball. The Tndianapclis fielding feature was contributed by Spud Campbell. He positively refused to make an error. He accepted seven chances and some were of the hot variety. Pittsburgh will be the next attraction at Washington Park. They will meet the Indians Saturday and Sunday. Washington Park Notes "Pick-i-nick" caught for the Red Sox He used to he with the bright minds down in Washington. i 'avet was nearly keled over by Harris' fin** drive in the first inning, but h fortunately got his glove up in time. I till and Petty were slated to pilch for the Tiibesters today. “Husk” Fhaneo went to the place during hatting practice and crashed

the ball hard. Frank s underpinning ia not aa husky as it used to be. Old John Collins of White Sox fame can still play ball. Wilson Fewster -was near death a few years ago as a result of being hit with a pitched ball, but he doesn’t seem to be shy at the plate. He got a single and triple Tuesday.
