Baseball Pitcher Said To Have Signed for $17,000
Cleveland, Jan. 25. schoolboy signed on again with the Cleveland Indians for the 1938 base-Ball season for a salary of $17,000, it was reported to-day The youthful twirler gained the plaudits of crowds and players alike last season when he came back with flying colours after several setbacks at the start of the loop.
He dislocated his elbow in his opening appearance on the mound and it seemed as if his career would changes from the previous line-up, and these will be in front. They will have the services of Robinson, at centre-forward, and he i to be a dangerous raider, with a strong shot. Wilson, the present pivot, will figure at inside left. Bolan will probably be available for this game, and he should be able to keep the right side. of the French defence busy.
I think the Durham half back line is slightly ahead of that of the A.S.F., and if Thomasson will play about ten yards ahead of the backs in the opening stages, we should not see two early goals as in the league game. This is important as both backs are inclined to open shakily, but once Curtiss has settled down he is a fine player. I am going to vote for the good luck of the champions to con: tinue, and expect them to win by a narrow margin.
