NEW YORK, Aug. 22. — It was
through CJeorge Sisler and his wonder
‘ ful worR that Branch Rickey first
gained fame as a scout for ball play
ers. Rickey, then manager of the
Browns, madejhe assertion when Sis
ler began to flash as a pitcher and
outfielder that the former Michigan
I university student would some day
rival Ty Cobb as a wonderful ball
player. Sisler is beginning to prove
Rickey right.
Following close after Sister. Rickey
turned Ernie Koob into the American
league, with the laconic remark that
there was a kid who some day would
be one of the best left-hand pitcher*
in the game. Koob is living up to it
Then Rickey searched and located
Dr. John l.avan. "Lavan wouldn't hil
a terrible lot,” remarked Rickey, when
it became known l.avan would join
the Browns, but he pointed out that
the youth possessed oodles of speed
and wonderful fielding ability. La
van is now recognized as a real star.
Those fellows are all now witt
the Browns, and Rickey Is with tht
Cardinals as president of the club. A
short time ago he went to Milwaukee
to purchase a pitcher named Goodwir
and he found the competition decided
ly interesting. Rickey looked at Good
win and promptly announced he was
going to have that pitcher If money
would buy him. He declared Goodwin
one of the finest.
Goodwin's first game was a shutout
over the Chillies, and since then he
has pitched some excellent games.
Rickey has placed the stamp of star
dom on him. If he follows through as :
have others of Rickey's selection Mil
ler Huggins' pitching staff has gained
its greatest asset.
Nick Cullop. every club in the Amer
ican league is crying, has nothing but
luck. The White Sox say he hasn't
even a noticeable curve. Yet Nick last
year won twelve straight games, some
at the expense of the Sox, and has
been fairly suscessful against that
club In the pennant hunt.
However, the failure of Nick to go
at top speed this year, coupled with
the hard luck of George Mogridge, has
done as modi as anything to keep Hill
Donovan’s Yankees down in the race.
