He is 21 and bats righthanded. The Pirates want him to get plenty of work and it will be up to the local club .to develop him for 1948. Salkeld, batting .250, will leave the Indians just as soon

Nip af Bar ~ Is From Cub Hurler's Nose

CHICAGO, June 25 (U. P.).—The mystery of the patch of tape which rookie Russ Meyer wore on his nose when he pitched the Chicago Cubs to a 6-3 victory over New York Monday was explained today. A waitress said she had bitten it. Miss Kay Gidd, 26, filed suit for $50,000 damages against Meyer and the Sheridan Plaza hotel, charging that she was beaten after she took a playful nip at the hurler's nose. Her attorneys said that last Sunday she accompanied Meyer to the bar of the hotel. He playfully pulled her hair, they said, and in return she playfully reached over and bit “him. About that time, the attorneys said, a house detective appeared on the scene and- dragged Miss Gidd from: the bar. She charged that the detective struck her and then had her arrested for disorderly

conduct.
