was iven credit for pulling
what seemed to be an egg-shell
team through many tight places
without disaster. But apparently
McGraw's master-minding - cannot
overcome all the shortcomings of
his once great team. . f ;
For one thing McGraw has been
unable to mold a regular,- smooth-j

hasn't been able to replace , him.

ond for all he' is worth, but he -is
not a star. The loss of Frankie
Frlsch at t'mes has been a body
blow. Frihch is the mainspring
and field; general of the infield.

That the Pirates are masters of
the league is indicated by the fact
that they tnrhed back the Giants
five out of the first seven games.
Four of those five defeats were
administered In a row.
: It looks tough for John J. Mc-
Graw right now.
i Speaking of, the Giants. Last
year, when they needed one more
game to win the pennant -for the
fourth consecutive year, they ham
mered Jimmy Ring, ace of the
lot . This year they apparently
still have Jimmy's number. " He
managed to win one game out of
the first five hurled. against them.
Jack Bentiey bested him the first
time. The second time the Giants
went into the game with the score
8 to 2 against them and batted

Bring Back
By NORMAX E. IhROWX
The Cleveland Indians today are
a badly shattered ball club. The
team that - won ' the American
league pennant and the world's
championship in 1920 with one or
the best ball clubs of modern
time--5- club that played heads
up ball, win, lose or draw; that
presented a powerful attack and
a beautiful defence Jn the box and
afield, and that fought to the last
ditch. Is now wallowing around in
the American league race, sadly In
need of considerable overhauling
and strengthening. '
, Latest averages ehow the team
ranking sixth in batting strength
and seventh In fielding. OTour eyes
grow weary before you reach the
names of any Cleveland pitchers
in the winning averages.
The team reeds pitchers.; It
needs a good catcher. It needs in
fielders. It "needs hitting strength.
But most of all it needs the bat
tery men. . j
And right here ie where the rub
'comes.'' '' v '-
' Two years ago the club had a
couple of likely looking catchers
in Luke Sewell and Glenn Myatt.
Neither had big le.'.sre experience.
Sewell, a brother of Joey, had lit
tle professional experience. 'The
club bosses, however, decided that
in one of these - men they yould
find a star.
, They-forthwith used Steve O'
Neill, Ray Schalk's only rival for
catching honors in the American
1c: gue, for trading material. The
club needed a first baseman. Man
ager, Speaker, always an admirer
of. George Burns, decided he was
the man needed. So a deal wad
cooked up that sent O'Neill and
Rill Wambsganns, second sackcr,
to the Red Sox for Burns and A1
Walters," a fair mechanical catch
er. ; ; , " "- ', . . - .:.'. .'
Wamby was allowed to depart
because he wasn't popular with
the' fans. He ranked as one of
the' best second "basemen in the
game and still does, in my esti
mation. ' -
Then last winter the club want
ed young pitchers. Stanley Cove

controversy over whether the

It looked . aa though - the team
didn't give its best behind Covey.
So a deal was framed with Wash
ington wherehy the champions ac
quired Coveleskie tor Byrcn
Speece, .a young hurler, and Carl?i
Smith, a rookie outfielder. .
Smith was farmed out. Speece
is still tryiqg toftnd himself.
Now both Coveleskie- and O'-i
Neill could help the' Indians bs
they are today. Coveleskie ha
won more games for the Senators
than any of the vets remaining
with the Indiana. ' This despite
the fact that Harris has plenty of
good pitchers and isn't! forced tq
call on Coveleskie regularly. .
-O'Neill may be lacking In hit

his brains. He is doing yeoman
service for Huggins, trying to
make something out of the de
