Davle Dear had a plan.
Also he had secret
In fact, the plan was the secret,
for he didn't even tell Dorothy what
he proposed to do.
He was afraid she wouldn't APP
prove.
You see, Da.vie wanted, above all
things on earth, to catch a glimpse
of Santa Claus even though he knew
well that discovery would mean no
toys, no fun, no anything.
He thought and thought and
thought about seeing Santa Claus
until his mind would dwell on moth
ing else. Mother and father Dear
would exchange induiring glances
when they. caught him talking to
himself, but they asked no ques-
tons, feeling sure that his abstrac-
ton had something to do with
Christmas. As for Dorothy she
eyed him with out-and-ou suspi-
cton, and asked him three times in
one day what was on his mind. And
each time Davie looked at her de-
fiantly and said, Nothing What's
on .yours?''
One afternoon at dusk Davie was
sitting on the RIG before the library
fire, thinking.

Grifiths scheme of developing ms
young pitchers after the season is
closed is attracting a lot of attention
among rival managers, and the result
of this fall training will be watched
with interest.
II is the first time in base ball that
a club has held it's young pitchers to-
gether after the campaign is over and
kept them at work. heretofore they
have reported in the fall. have done
little work, and when they reported in
the spring have shown little, If any,
Improvement Incidentally, ii has been
necessary to go slow with them in the
spring because they lacked the physi-
cal condition to do hard work in the
early weeks of the training. In the
fall the youngsters are naturally
ready to go the route, and. of course,
the work they are put through by
Griffith is not injurious. but beneficial.
They are learning much. and it is
figured that by spring every one of
them will show the benefits of the
training:
If the Griffith plan proves successful it
l. not at all unlikely that all the other
clubs will keep their young pitchers in
training I'm the fall as long as the weather
allows them TO work outdoors.
Jean Dubuc. the clevercst pitcher ON the
Detroit staff. believes that Bush of the
Athletics will develop into one of the
best pitchers in the American League.
Dubuc says of the youngster:
~ good many American League play
ers picked Bush to beat the Giants and l
was one of them.

OTHER MANAGERS WATCHING
GRIFF'S DEVEL OPING PLAN
Rival Clubs May Adopt System Of Having
Youngsters Educated After
Season Is Over.

Bush, I believe. will be one of the
greatest pitchers i'm this league in IA
year or so. He shut us out in Philadel-
phia on our last trip there and in that
game he displayed 10 per cent more stun
than in any previous encounter with the
Tigers. He had plenty of speed and d
wicked curve.
Bush. of course, will never be in the
Walter Johnson class, but would not
be surprised if he won as many games.
He will have a great hitting club behind
him. Bush is pitcher after the style of
Jack Coombs, and is much better than
Shawkey. Brown or Houck.
Rumor has it that the Cincinnati club
may trade Joe Tinker to New York, where
il seems he would be welcome Hermann
realizes that Tinker was never cut out
for manager, and while he appreciates
his ability as a ball player, he is anxious
to secure a competent man to- handle his
team. He wants Herzog of the Giantsc,
and il is understood that McGraw will
demand Tinker In exchange.
Hermann. however, is not apt to give
up Tinker. for he is undoubtedly the best
shortstop Cincinnati has ever had.
The Giants are pretty sure TO undergo
lot of changes while McGraw is on the
world trip. The little manager has inn
parted Il lot of ideas to the club officials
which may he carried out during his alb
sence and several important trades can
be looked for. McGraw would like to Sc
cure konetchy. and it is hnted that "A

Though his team has won three pen
nants in Il row. McGraw realizes that he

taken part in during the last three years

Is not strong enough to cope with the
American League champions, and he

All the big universities should win the
foot ball games they have scheduled for
today. Not one of the minor schools
they will meet has shown sufficient power
to warrant prediction that anything
near a victory will be secured. All that
the smaller elevens can hope for is to
make as creditable a showing as possible,
though there is the bare possibility al
WAYS that one of them will come through
with a better played game than is looked
for.
Yale has as it's opponent Lehigh, prob
ably the strongest eleven of all that are
scheduled to go against the larger teams
Lehigh has shown such consistently good
form that it would not be any surprise
at all if it were to give the Ellis quite
tussle. Harvard should get away with
Holy Cross without a great deal of trou-
BILE. and while the Worcester eleven has
done credtable work so far this year, 1t
will be no match for the Crimson if the
latter plays anywhere near up to its
standard.
Pennsylvania is to meet Brown, but
the latter is not the team it was a year
ago. when it beat the Quakers by some
thing like 80 to Z. 1t would not be very
surprising if the Quakers turned the
tables and won by just as big score
this year The Brown eleven has been
playing way below its usual form, not
having done as well against the sec
ondary elevens as il has been wont to
do in its contests with the big universe
ties.
Syracuse is booked to appear at Prince
ton but it should not prove a very
formidable antagonist for the Tigers. 1t
has not been doing anything startling
this season by any means and Is GER
tainly not strong enough to win from
the New Jersey bunch. Cornell is to
play Bucknell and should win, although
Bucknel seems to be more powerful this
season than formerly.

burgh against the University of Pitts
