THE JOHN D. OF THE DOG WORLD

This is Billy, the richest dog in
the world.
Billy sleeps on a. real mattress
at night, enjoys the best food pro-
durable and has bank account In
his own name.
There are other dogs that have
rich masters, of course, but not
one of them has a bank book all
its own and something in the
bank to show for it.
This good-looking canine was
made rich by a grateful human
friend whom he once saved. The
story goes that Billy's master and
another man were wandering
around over the Alaskan noun
tains, and Billy was trying to pill
OF them home. The other man
thought the dog was going in the
wrong direction, and after giving
|Billy vicious kick, started off in
"a different direction. Billy's mas
ter, however. had confidence in
the dog and following the animal
arrived safely home. Then tae
dog started out, found the man
who had spurned his kindness be-
fore and brought him safely to
1.-THE cabin.
The rescued man wanted to
show his gratitude to the dog. so
he had made for Billy beauti-

Harry Howell, for years one of
the best pitchers in the game, will
be the next member of Ban John
sons staff of umpires for the
American league. Johnson said
Bill Dineen has made such a
splendid arbitrator that he would
gladly appoint the veteran How
ell.
Howell's pitching days came to
an end this spring when no hurt
his arm while training with the
Browns at Houston. Howell re.
turned to st. Louis, where an OPP
Grafton was performed on his sal
larry wing. For a few weeks he
lthonght he would be able to re-
sumo pitching, but his arm failed
to regain its lost strength. and
the veteran applied to Johnson for
la position as an umpire.

Ilyn he walloped the pill for a
grand total of something better
than 800, and his hitting and
fielding up to date this year has
been one of the sensations of the
oder organization.
This is merely cited to show
that baseball scouts, like other
humans, are prone to error. -Four
or five good men had watched this
youngster and decided he would
not do. Then another happened
along, saw something in the play
Ell which his predecessors had
overlooked, and grabbed him.
Now he is a star who is touted
as a second Ty Cobb.
Oftentimes the scout for a big
league club works blind. He may
decide to take a look over the
players in one of the Pacific
Coast league, and he sets sail for
the coast. And believe me, some
of the grandest ball tossers the
big leagues have known, have
been uncovered on the coast. If
he is working without a lead the
scout will make his headquarters
in one city and watch every team
in every game. If he finds one
young ster who shows possibilities.
that youngsters name and club
address is filed away for future

Jeffries and Johnson May
Fight Again On Labor Day
RICHARD SAYS BATTLE-GROUND ALREADY
AND BELIEVES JEFF WANTS -

SAN FRANCISCO, July 49,
Tex Richard, happy, smiling and
'iingling some of the coin he gath
cred out of the Jeffries-Johnson
fight, has gone to Los Angeles,
where he will have a talk with
Jeffries over return match with
the negro. Richard is confident
that Big Jim will re-enter the
ring.
"Jeffries was not right on the
Fourth" said Tex, land / feel
sure that should he meet John
son again his showing will be far

tive assurance from Jeffries that
he will fight. something tells me

recently talked to one of
these professional scouts, and he
laid down Just one rule for a sue
cessful ball player. 1t is ability
to think.
1--WE want the youngsters with
the brain works fully developed"
this man said, "as an ability to
think and act quickly is the first
requisite for the successful ball
player. The day of the mechani-
cal player passed some time ago
GIVE us a youngster who can
think, and we always have time
to teach off the rough edges In
his fielding and batting. But
thinking is something that comes
natural and cannot be taught"
And now the busy season for
the scouts is at hand, and they
will be on the job until the last
bell taps for the closing game in
the fall. 1t is rather fascinating
to guess just how many real
stars will be uncovered by these
silent but important factors in
our national game this year.

to what he has heard and the
scout goes to the city or town
where the reported phenom is
playing.
He picks the man he Is after
from the score card and he stud
les his every movement, noting
how he handles himself on the
bases, how he works In the field
and whether he is a brniny ball
player or merely a mechanism.
Major leagues demand brainy ball
tossers nowadays. III all they de-
sired were men who could catch
and throw ball, they wouldn't
need to go off the lots of their
home cities. Baseball requires
quicker thinking than many bet
ter recognized lines of endeavor,
and the men who think are the
men who are drawing the big pay.
Maybe the scout doesn't get a
favorable impression of the
youngster the first day. lack

Now is the time of the year
when the baseball scout comes in
to his own and, unlike the old
time prophet, is honored in his
own country for the good he may
be able to do the home team by
digging up some youngster who
will plug up a hole In the lineup
of the team and develop into one
of the real stars of the game.
And the scouts are getting busy.
Major league teams have struck
their stride now and the managers
are able to pick out without
much trouble, the men who simply
won't do. Then the call goes out
for the scout TO get busy and he
packs his grip. says goodby to
the home folks and departs for
the bush leagues where the stars
of tomorrow are developing.
For sake of citing an example
we will say that the manager of
the home team is tipped by a
friend in some small town OF a
young ball player who is setting
his league on fire. The manager
hasn't time to run down the tip
as he is too busy at home bossing
his team. Here is where the scout
comes in.

FRANK GOTCH REALLY WANTS
FIGHT WITH JOHNSON

Gotch, according to Frazee,
thinks the purse should be made
fully as big as that offered John
son and Jeffries. He prefers to
fight in Australia, Frazee says,
and does not want any prelimin-
airy tour.
Gotch said he wanted to fight
solely because he wants the white
race again to hold the heavy
weight championship title" Fra
zee said today. HE does not
want any theatrical tour before
the fight because he fears the
public would think he was in the
fight solely for money"

weeks of training will put him IN
shape. His physical condition is
good right now and with the
great worry that overwhelmed
him in his last fight off his mind,
he will be a different Jeffries.
JEFF Did Not 'Quit."
81 don't think he has been
treated fairly by some of the CRIT
les, especially those who have In
simulated that he quit at Reno. If
he wanted to quit he could have
done so after the first knock
down, when he knew deep down
in his heart that the stuff was
off. There was one thing about
the fight that was particularly
pleasing to me and that was that
Jeffries was not knocked flat on
his back, as l had predicted he
would not be. Weeks before the
fight while discussing the matter
with a number of friends, l de-
clared that IL JEFF were knocked
out. it would not be a complete
knockout with the white man on
his back"
Contrary to general belief Jack
Gleason got an even cut on every
thing. Few believed that he had
anything more than a picture in
terest, but Rickard, who ought to
know, declares that Jack got one
