all that his college males could
ask.
Then came the first tragic blow
in" Stevie's life.
lie could hit he found--any
pitching the big leaguers tossed
up. Rut he couldn't make ' the
grade as a fielder. One fall after
noon in the midst of a football
game he had been pulled from be
neath a pile of legs and arms with
his right arm broken. The break
had healed hut had left him with
a crooked wing.
I Speaker, then Indian manager,
Jack McCallister, then coach and
present pilot, labored long with
Riggs in the hope of overcoming
the - handicap. He tried. On
straight throws he "passed."- It
was on the pivot throw in donldo
plays or difficult shots to first
from Off balance that spelled his
doom. Then they tried him in the
outfield. Again his arm was too
much of a handicap.
So they sent him to the Ameri
can Association. ,

leading St. Johns Bears at Oxford

St. Johns' strength, judging
from the records of the three
games the team has played, is ac-
ounted for largely by the stellar, .
flinging of "King" Cole, veteran
pitcher who Is slated to start tho
game against Salem tomorrow. Iu
these three contests he allowed
Woodstock four hits, Nicolai foui

The Senators will have the same
lineup as last Sunday with tho
exception that Orlie'Itobbins, for
merly of OAC, will be at third base
instead of Biddy Bishop. This
may not strengthen the team's
fielding to any great extent, as
Bishop is as good a third baseman
as any in the. league; but be has
not had time for much batting
practice this season, so that a
younger player who does havfa

In offensive power. ;
The game will really start at.
2:30 this time. Manager 'Frisco"

was so scheduled, but the Nicola
team didn't understand so, and at
a result the game was 20 minuter
late. St. Johns has been notified
and will be ready to play at 2:30,
Judging from the good attend
