HOW DOAIx BECAME
 STAR FOR CARDINALS,


 Bill Doak5 leading National league twir1er, is the greatest pitcher in the league. declares Manager Higgins of the Cardinals. A pretty strong as sertion to make for a youngster after his first year in the big show, but the records will prove it.
 True enough, two pitchers in the National league won a. greater per centage of their games-they were James and Rudolph of the Braves. But when John Heyd1er's records were issued showing the standing of pitchers based, on effectiveness they showed Willie Doak leading the pro- cession.
 Modesty is Willie Doak's most dis tinctive trait and it coincides with his entrance into the big show, There wasSno blare of trumpets when Doak broke in. Scout Eddie Herr arrived. in the Cardinal camp with Doak in tow one day in fr1id-season and in- troduced him to Manager Huggins.
 'sWhere'd you get him ?,' asked Mil. Ter.
 Picked him up at Akron, answer ed Scout Herr. Mark down sale; league busted; only cost $500, and T took chanee.''

ANNIVERSARY OF
 RING BATTLES

1ss7-Jack MeAuliffe defeated Harry Gilmore In 2ss rounds at Law renee Mass. This bout was for the lightweight championship then held by McAuliffe and was one of the. most desperate ever witnessed in Massachusetts ring. The men fought
 with skintight gloves for $500 a side. and the championship belt Both. men had to assirniIate a lot of pun. sishment, and several times it looked as if the title was due to change hands Gilmore devoted much of his, attention to Jacks optics, and Mo Auliffe was scarcely able to see when. he landed a punch which flattened out and broke Gilmore's nose. liar sryss packers then tossed in the sponge, but the victor was in little better condition than the Vanquished. IA little later in the same year Mo lAuliffe fought his famous 74-round draw with Jem Carney, the English champion, when Jack was saved from defeat only by the interference of spectators.

 But seeing that was in a trance 1Ii1r- 1phy kept on to, the plate. Now I be- came faintIy aware that the other
 players were yelling at me to throw the ball But T didn't see Murphy be- fore he reached the plate. I don't know how [ would have fared if
 had seen him, for Murphy is one Of the fastest men in the game. Prob ably could have caught him all right. I don't know But T didn't see him
 until after he had crossed the plate and was walking to the bench AlI this time I had been standing thera with my head down kicking myself to think that we had lost the game. 1T had no other thought And it is a remark able ting. for in all my play ing I never remember before to have stood that way with my head down. When was on the Cubs used aI- ways to be calling out Heads mp to the other players Tt was a faevqe ite phrase of mine, and I acted on tt
 myself. My attitude always was ta keep my head up and fighting tiIl was all over. And am sore to thinfc should pick out such an occasion as this to act contrary tosrny lifetime GUS tom and hang my head while an e5z- the runner was scoring. It isn't very pleasant for me to think of, tfaoueh was fortunate4 In that my display didn't cost the game, for we won out in the end. It was the oldest play ever made and the hardest to explain now, though it seemed perfectly sim pie to me at the time.1'
 .fIt was bone play. won't deny that said Sta1Iings, but we all make, them If no one ever made more than Evers, baseball would be a different game. But even he had his share at 1t that time The spirit of the play CTS, however. want to say, was the
 finest thing have aver seen on a bah ground Naturally Evers was com pIetely Knocked out when the rea3iza5- ton ofSwF1at he had done came ovsr him. He sat on the bench like a man stunned or stricken with paralysis. tried to get him out of it by telling him. Brace up So the young players won't see you in the dumps. But he didn't. And then every man on the team came over and tried to cheer him up. Never mind, John. they win yet and show them Even if the game is lost, what of it2 There's three more to play and we'll win the rag sure. It wash your fault. every body slips up once in a. while And they fairly pulled him out of his pessi- nnism by main strength It was a grand exhibition of team co-opera.t1on- and I was glad to see that later in the game Evers was able to. help most ef- fectually in the scoring and took a. main part in pulling the game out Of the fire after it had been lost appar- entity beyond hopk."

CTS who worked him oilt didn't re port any. too favorabIy to Huggfns. Not much speed not much of any thing, in fact, except a, very serious purpose and a strict attention to ad- vice given him.
 Doak got into a few games and oc- casioned much surprise at the show ing he made in them He can't lastss said the critics. Too fraiI, pitching himself out with every ball he throws
 Huggins took a. fancy to the serf- ous-ninded young man He figured. too, that Doak would have to devel- op something particularly adapted to his light phsique Can't you pitch the spit ball?'' Higgins asked his youngster-
 stT have never used it, but I will try 1t, MT. Efuggins, answered the. young man grave ly: {.
 ssWe'll make a splitter out of4you and change your style so as to save your strength more said Huggins.
 Result, Doak became a spit-bal1 pitcher. He no longer breaks his back every time he throws a. ball. As a conservator of energy he is a mar vel. His ease and grace is a delight. He has demonstrated that for him at least there is no harm to a pitcher in throwing the spitba1l. As for it's effectiveness, the records will tell.
 Doak says himself Hugginss careful coaching has made him the wondeE- fuI pitcher he is. Huggins smiles and says the credit for Doaks belongs to Eddie Herr. The scout passes the. buck along.

SLIM CROWD MAY ATTEND
 BOXING SHOW

Hundreds of sporting enthusiasts have congratulated the Farmer sport ing department upon it's firm stand in the question of local boxing. This paper believes that the public should be protected against fakes and other unsatisfactory exhibitions. It is, of course impossib b1e to always tell in advance whether a show will be good for sometimes the cards which look fine on paper, turn out to be fatl- urea
 There is no doubt, however, that 1o- cal sportsmen are rather dubious about the show scheduled for next Monday. They all remember some of the sour ones Promoter Billy Ho- gan has handed out in the past It is discouraging to pay $2 or B for a4 seat, expecting to see a lively battle. and then sit through many weary rounds Of love taps and c1tnches.
 Those who Journeyed to Eagles hall and the Casino to attend some of Ho- gan's shows in past years are won dertng what he will present this time. From the gossip heard on the streets most of the folks will read about the show in the papers the next day in stead of standing in line at the box office.

THE TRUTH ABOUT JOHN
 EvERs' HISTORIC NlTsPLAY

lBy John 8vers, in Baseball AIaga-
 zine.
 John Esvers tells in the Baseball Magazine just how he made that bone in the World Series:
 tsI was approached by newspaper men the same evening" says Evers. land asked about the play and how I happened to make it. I admitted freely and frankly that it was q bone and let it go at that. [ haven't sald anything about it since. It was a bonehead play. There is no doubt about that But don't think that 1t was as much of a bonehead play as it seemed, though may be preju- diced.
 When that ball was hit to me I was anxious to get it.. I had my mind on getting it just as soon as possible, for with three men on and the game in extra innings any slip may mean a score. No doubt I was too anxious and it is no excuse if was. At any rate the ball made rather awkward bound before it reached me and hit me in the chest. It hurt some. and disconcerted me to that extent. though am not saying that was an excuse for my playing it as did. When it struck me in the chest it bounded away several feet and I made after 1t mechanically But as I csased it the thought was in my mind that the game was lost. I was sore to think had let the. ball get away from me like that, on what looked like a simple stop. I was sore to think that through a lack of good fielding on my part the game was lost. we had fought so hard to win. That was all. I didn't think of the men on the bases did mt think of the crowd or the other players on the team. It didn't even occur to me that 1t made any differ ence whether the Othletics scored one run or two runs so long as they SCOT ed For I felt that the game was
