Levi to Play
With Yankees
New York, Dec. 31.—John Devi,
the ‘‘charging buffalo" of the Haskell
Indian football team, has signed a
contract to play In the outfield for
the New York Yankees.
Devi's coming recalls other days
ito N'ew York fans. Years ago Harry
Sockalcxls, an Indian, advanced to the
plate for his first appearance in ma
jor league company with a group of
fellow tribesmen from a little island
in the Penobscot river, above Bangor,
Me., In tic stands, clad in tribal robes
and feathers. There was a crack of
bat meeting ball and Harry Soeka-'
lexis was seated on the bench before,
the din died. His hit had gone over
the fence.
Then a little more than 10 years
ago the great .Tim Thorp* of Carlisle*
came to the Giants, fresh from nu
merous national and International
conquests He soon left the major
leacgies, however, and journeyed
about, playing In the Pacific Coast
league and later In tiie Eastern
league. At las* reports he was np
peartng with Twilight league clubs
around Boston. The newcomer is de
dared to be an excellent fielder and
superb hitter. He neighs 190 pounds
and Is 93 years old. Thorpe describes
I,evi ns the greatest footbnll player
he has ever seen, lie bats and throws
right handed and Is said to npprov
mate the style of Bob Meusel, the
Yankees' left-fielder.

After the experts and the Judges
and the committeemen and the writ

All-National league teams for the

Do figures mean anything? Which
one of these teams would you rather
have for the pennant race? Which
one would win in i seven game ser

from the Naional league that could
win from either of these teams? In
other words, what do the. fans think
of all the various team combinations
presented by individuals and by the
averages? Where will base!million!
rank these men who rank so high in
the baseball liook of .averages? Where
will haselisll history place these men?
