DOYLE WILDE
HELP TOGIANTS
Former New York Captain
Will Be Balance Wheel to
Temperamental Infeld.

A change from one city to another
often has a great effect on a ball
players play. The influences brought
to bear by the manager. the assocI-
ates on the club, very often will show
their effect on the players form.
1t is on these possible influences that
John McGraw is counting in his re-
cent trade which brings Larry Doyle
back to the Giants.
A few years agp Doyle was among
the best inielders in the game. One
year he led the National League in
batting. On another year Ne was one
Of the leading sluggers OF the organI-
ration. During this time his mechan-
ical play in the field was superb.
Doyle began to go back after an
accident which kept him out of the
game for the greater part of a season
and since McGraw traded him TO
Chicago for Heine Zimmerman, a cou-
pie Of seasons ago, his play has not
been what was expected of him.
McGraw needs a veteran second
baseman to take the place of the tenn
peramental Herzog. A player Of the
Doyle type would help balance an in
field made up of Zimmerman and the
fiery Fletcher.
And Doyle should play better ball
for McGraw than he was able to play
for the Cubs. Doyle was not satisfied
in Chicago and that undoubtedly had
a great deal to do with the character
Of his play.
McGraw is evidently counting on this
and hopes Doyle will be able to come
back with his big war club and set
the league afire again in the batting
department.

HARD IS
MEADE MOTTO
Capt. ODonovan, Of British
Army, Trying to Make
Boxers Of Soldiers.


Hit hard" That is the new motto
OF the liberty division at Camp Meade,
coined by James Patrick O'Donovan,
the fighting Irishman Of the British
army. who has tackled the Job Of maxi
ing boxer out of every man at Lit
tie Penn. says the Philadelphia Even
ing Ledger. Capt. O'Donovan Is the
official referee for all main bouts In
Baltimore.
O'Donovan is full-fiedged captain,
who won his commission by hitting
hard. For nearly two years he was
on the fighting lines. He knows the
Hun for he has fought him. "And to
knock him cold," says the fighting
captain, you Americans have got TO
pack a terrible punch"
Despite the multiplicity Of drills and
army maneuvers that are being taught
to the men Of the division, the real
old hghting game in which a man uses
two perfectly good fists is the out
standing feature in the new training
program.
Why boxing has been introduced as
q feature Of the training program was
outlined by Capt. O'Donovan today,
when he delivered a short talk to his
boxing class. This class consists of
seventy-five juniors officers, and when
they have qualified as initt artists they
will return to their respective units
end impsrt their knowledge OF the
manly art to the plain privates.
In sharp. crisp and forceful language
the Irishman told this bunch of am
bilious men that the success of the
American army depended upon the
physical fitness of the Individual
The plans Of generals, the efficiency
OF equipment and the genius of mill
tary strategists will fall" said the
speaker. unless the men who are
picked to execute the work are fit for
their tasks. You owe your strength,
soul and mind to your government.
Your soul and mind can be developed
only when you physique is in tip-top
shape, and to keep in shape physically
there is nothing so practical and ef-
ficient as boxing. 1t develops your
muscles, quickens the eye and tunes
up your brains.
