WASHINGTON T1 KNS DOWN HI BCD'S OFFER FOR SPEECE □ERHAPS you think It an easy task for a baseball club owner such as Barney Burch, to sally forth and purchase pitchers, catchers and fielders. Well, It ain’t. Barney Is (lie author of the state ment that li« has been burning up the so-called wires for a pitcher who is capable of turning in 15 victories for the Buffaloes during the re mainder of the season. It seems that every ball club, no matter where it happens to he in the standings in its respective league, does not want to part with any promising hurler. For example; ■Washington purchased Byron Speece, Omaha hurler of last Beason from Burch. This year Speece Is up in the "big show," to use the par lance of the baseball player, but what is he doing? Nothing to speak of. Eyron hasn't pitched a full game and probably won't get a chance as long as the Senators are going like they are at present. Naturally, one would think that for $4,000 or $5,000 a baseball owner could buy Speece from Washington. No, siree. The Senators will not part jwHJi Byron. Burch wired for terms on Speece four times before Washing ton replied: “Speece not for gale.” Speece is being used by Manager Harris to pitch to batters in batting practice, hut still the Washington club refused s handsome offer for the youngster. That goes to show how hard up the big league* are for huriers. KTI.I.Or TAKF.S HIS SPITE Ol'T Ion opposing ntchebs. tTTE asked Nick Cullop the other Vy day to explain why he socked ’ ' the hall so hard this season. He didn't do much with the stick last year and didn't collect many hits while playing outfield this year, but when he was put on first base his hitting Immediately picked up. In a Joking way, Nick went on to IfII us why lie took so many wicked cuts at the call, and as Manager Art Griggs was lending nn ear to the con \ersation it brought quite a laugh from the gentleman who has piloted the ltiiffaloes into first place. "The 'skipper’ made me mad when he told me to play first base," said Cullop, smiling. “I don’t like to play first and every time I come to bat someone |n the dugout reminds me about whnt a good first baseman I am, when right down In my own shoes I know different. That makes me mad and T take my spite out on the opposing pitcher." “If that's the cause of your heavy hitting you are going to remain on first base," said "Skipper" Griggs. Nick told his troubles during the Intermission of Tuesday's game. The rain stopped the oontest. When t’ul lop returned to the gome he knocked a home run and two singles. U. P.

The team at Greer Bay, Wis., offered more money, but because of the reputation of the Bull dogs, Noble signed up with the Can ton team.

Cavalry Four Beats Ak Team Omaha'# crack Ak-Sar-Ben po!oi»i* lost a 13 to 12 series opener to ths fast 14th Cavalry quartet from De* Moines yesterday afternoon on ths Ak-Sar-Ben field. A scattering of enthusiasts were on hand to witness the eye-opener of the three-game series, but the few that did journey to the field were treated to a sight of pure undiluted thrills. The teams battled on even terms for the first three periods, the score being even up at the end of the first three chuckers. Toward the end of the fray, ths more experienced army lads overcame the three point handicap they had conceded the local squad, and at the final bugle blast were one marker to the front. The masterful stick work and horsemanship of Capt. H. C. Tobin and Lieut. L. L. Judge stood out for the winners, while the aggressive playing of Lieutenant Boyer and E. John Brandeis was the feature of the losers play. The two teams will rest up tomor row, but will meet July 4 at the same field. The game will be called at 4. Summary: 14th Cavalry. Ak Sar-Ben Lieut.
