Perhaps il was because he was

to the time of retirement was
dean of all pitchers, that Stanley
Dougan developed penchant for
hurting no-hit shutouts.
At any rate this budding men,
Der of the Cincinnati Reds slab
staff bids fair to emulate the
feats OF his grizzlzed coach.
AS a student at Ohio univer-
sity. Dougan went into athletics
with splash. He specialized at
baseball and Old Cyrus, who is
cultivating his broad acres near
Peoli. o., took a decided shine
to the rookie.
Young gave his protege more
than passing attention at the
daily workouts in which Cyrus
presided as coach and offered to
place the youngster with the
GAINESVILLE Central league club
early in 1918.
Dougan who was captain of the
1913 varsity and later president
of the senior class of 1918,
spurned the berth. Instead. he
