day.
Harvard plans to engage Fred Tenney
as professional base ball coach next year.
The position. 1t is said, will be worth as
much as $1,000 a year to the former
Giant star. Besides, Tenney, in his spare
moments, would be provided with remu-
lucrative work.
And. speaking of warm weather. how
about old Cy Young? The grand old vet
eran of the Maps came into his own and
shut out ST Louis with two hits. Young
has been relegated to the scrap heap
every year by envious western scribes,

and makes most of the rival pitchers look
like wooden Indians
The naughty Cubs must have been
ready to drop through to China after that
first inning in st. Louis yesterday. Chi
cago waxed the Cardinals for five runs
in the first half. IT looked like taking
money from a blind man. But in their
half of the inning the Cardinals came
back with bunch of nine TALES, the
most that have been scored in any sin
gle inning by major league club this
season.
Al Bridwell of the Giants may draw a
suspension for rowdyism. He was chased
