BT H. C. HAMILTON. (Tlaitea Frees Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, Aug. 14. It was through George Sisler and his wonderful work that Branch Rickey first gained fame as a scout for ball players. Rickey, then manager cf the Browns, made the assertion when Sisler began to flash as a pitcher and outfielder that the former Michigan university student would, forao day rival Ty Cobb as a wonderful ball player. Sisler is beginning to prove Rickey right. Following close after Sisler, Rickey turned Ernie Koob into the American league, with the laconic remark that he was a kid who some day would be one of the left-handed pitchers in the game. Koob is living up to it. Then Rickey searched around and located Dr. John Lavan. "Lavan wouldn't hit a terrible lot," remarked Rickey when it became known Lavan would join the Browns, but he pointed out that the youth possessed oodles of speed and wonderful fielding ability. Lavan is new recognized as a real star. These fellows are all with the Browns and Rickey is with the Cardinals as president of the club. A short time ago he went to Milwaukee to purchase a pitcher named Goodwin, and he found the competition alread interesting. Rickey looked at Goodwin and promptly announced thjtt he was going to have that pitcher If money w-uld win him. He declared Goodwin one of the finest. Goodwin's first game was a shut-out over the Phillies, and since then he has pitched some excellent games. Rickey has placed the stamp of approval on him. If he follows through as have others of Rickey's selection Miller Hueg.ns' pitching staff has gained its greatest asset. Nick Cullop. every club In the American league is crying, has has nothing but luck. The "White Sox say he hasn't even a noticeable curve. Tet Nick last year won twelve straight games, some at the expense of the Sox. and has been fairly successful against that club in the present pennant hunt. However, the failure cf Nick to go at top speed this year, coupled with the hard luck of George Mogridge, has done as much as anything to keep Bill Donovan's Tankees down in the race.

The Hammond baseball club will play

its second game of the championship series with Waukegan at Parduhn park, j Sunday. j MfCann, owner of the Waukegan team, still has the sour taste of dtleat I

in his mouth and he and rarduhn got together Monday in an effnrt to settle the argument as to superiority at the earliest possible moment. McCann thinks that Hammond was lucky ami "can't do it again." Parduhn sas that his were better ball players rather than luckier rnd it can be done again. Waukegan brought a good-sized following with them last Sunday and it is hoped by many supporters ef the local club that they also bring a large bank roll with them next Sunday. Bets on last Sunday's game were comparatively -few for there was no Waukegan money in sight. If Hammond again defeats Waukegan Sunday they will play Albany Tark a three-game series.
