Reds Asked for Waivers on This Young Star Last Season keating Unlucky With Braves Yesterday.

A great deal of the credit for the rise of the Cincinnati Reds Is due to the pitching of Dutch Reuther, the young left handler. He has won II and lost three so far this year and his success is only another indication of the part luck plays in the national pastine-
 Last season the Reds asked for waivers on Reuter-. They wanted to eend him back to tho Pacific Coast but he refused to go. He was finally allowed to stay with the club. Man ager Pat Moran gave Reuther some good advice this spring and the younsster has profited by it. Luque, the Cuban pitcher who has won eight and lost three for the Reds, was of- fsred to the St Louis Cardinals at xAa waiver price but they declined to .ake him
 Speaking of Cincinnati is a re- hinder of the fact that the Reds are hanging right onto the heels of the Giants and by beating the Pirates twice yesterday Moran's men threw another soare into the McGraw camp. The Reds and Pirates played out that protssted game yesterday unpIayed on July 6 when the game vns called in the sixth to allow Cin- cinnati 10 catch a train It is a rare thing to see three inning playoff, although tbe Giants and Phiflies had to do it several years ago.

American League Fingers Have Tried All Kinds of Deliveries on Boston Slug ger But He Still Clouts Elm Far.

Boston, Massa chusetts, July 2S. - WANTED Babe Ruth's alley" Pitchers sigh for it, catchers cry for it. Seven American league clubs are searching for it. And yet the Red Sox Homo Run King keeps right on battering dents in the fences on the way to the home run record of the American league.
 All over the circuit the Battering Ram has pounded his way into the hearts of the Boston team the danger signal flashes from the pitchers box. Three years ago, when far distant fences failed to set q limit to Big Babes drives, the warning was sent out. Get his alley" Gin baseball parlance, his weakness) was the tip the worried managers passed around to the equally perplexed pitchers.
 Throw it in the dirt was the ad- vice Lee Foh1 gave his Indian twir lers That was after Big Babe ''got a holt or1'' q fast one from Covelskie on a certain memorable occasion at Fenway Park last year after Babe had catapu1ted one into the right field bleachers on won a thrilling ex- tra-inning battle for Boston.
 Make 'em slow was FohTs eau dous warning last week in Cleveland when Big Babe came up to bat in the ninth inning with the bases choked. two men out and the Red Sox trailing hopefessly in the ruck of seeming de- feat. Well, Fred Coumbe gave him a slow one, and as the ball hopped among the roof tops on the other side of Lexington avenue and Babe, fol- lowing in the wake of three other runners, trotted home with the run that gave Boston to victory,
 
 once more gone wrong. Incidentally, the two home runs Babe made the same day had lot to do with the change in the Cleveland manage ment.
 Last summer Walt Johnson tried to buzz a fast one by the American league Hercules. There were runners on the sacks at the time- As the ball sped far over the right field wall in the 10th inning the crash was the echo of Washington's defeat.
 Big Bill James, now a Red Sox twirler, admits to his sorrow that he rendered Babe a fast one in Detroit last summer, and James opines that when the ball landed in the center field bleachers at Navin Park the strain in the present relations be- tween him and Ty Cobb began. But Bill admits respectfully that it was the fourth home run Ruth had made off his delivery. He frankly confesses that he doesn't know how to pitch to him.
 Twice while pitching for New York, Ray Caldwell had the temerity to feed curves to the battering ram. One ball landed in the pavilion at the right field seats at Fenway Park, and both settled the fate of ball games.
 Scott Perry, Connie Mack's most effective twirler, served up a low one to Babe in Philadelphia a few weeks ago. Babe "golfed' the ball. and they are still talking in Philadelphia about this mightiest of home run drives Lefty Danforth tried one high and on the outside at Co., miskey Park about a fortnight ago. As the ball settled in the left field

MCLEAN, K. OF 6. WORKER BACK
 FROM EUROPE.

New York, July 2S-Alex Mclean veteran cycle rider and later pro moter and manager of crack boxers, Just has returned from Europe where he has been working for the Knights of Columbus since last No Tember. The first three months he spent in Paris. but he was shifted to Germany in January and he remained there at Coblenz until he left for home. With Mclean arrived Judge Martin Duffy Of Pottsville Pa., and B1u Coughlin, the famous old Detroit captain and third baseman.
 While he was with the Army of Occupation Mclean supervised the running of B shows in four months probably the greatest feat in the an- nals of matchmaking. Bouts were conducted by the Knights of Colurn- bus for the Third Army Corps in six different places-Trier, West Trier, Esch Luxemburg, Wittlich, Ander- mach and Coblenz
 Most of the matches were made by long distance phone, there being a distance of 200 miles between the clubs furthest east and west. A record Of the name, weight, etc, of every boxer in each division was kept, so in this way 1t was compara lively easy to tell how to match them up.
 Among other accomplishments of McLean's was the establishment of a school of umpfres with directors in four different sections who taught the doughboys who liked that sort of work how to umpire. Pete Noonan, the old Athletic catcher; Bill Cough lin, the Detroit star; Jack Kerin, the former American League umpire, and Tommy Dowd, the old National : League star, were those who held night school sessions to show the candidates how to call balls and f strikes and interpret the rules.
 It was necessary to have large number of umpires because of the great rivalry in baseball. Each com pany had one or more teams and when they played it was for money and blood.
 Mclean says Gene Tuney was the best boxer turned out by the A. E. F. Bob Martin a giant heavyweight is another promising boxer.

Deposted Champion Had to Give Uncle Sam Large Por-
 tion of His S100,000 Purse
 He Got at Toledo.

New York, July 2s.---Here is an in- teresting little set of figures, if the gentleman who compiled them knows. what he is talking about. E. J. Lynch.. an Internal Revenue agent, is thefs man who vouches for them. If they are correct, then Jess Willard sold hiss golden egg for poke on the nose. Its is certain that Jess didn't figure it that way when he signed.
 When Jess Willard signed to meet Jack Dempsey in a heavyweight championship bout at Toledo, 1t wass agreed that he was to receive $1OO, 900 for his work, or $72, 300 more than Jack Dempsey would receive for the privilege of attempting to tin can the champion. That was the difference in the pay of the two boxers. Willard was actually given s1o0.O0O 1by Rfckard and Dempsey received $27, 800
 But Willard did not profit S10O, 900 by the beating he received. When the Government got through taking it's cut, Jess boy had but SAG more than Dempsey.
 "Of the S1O0, GOO he received, the for mer champion paid a. normal incom me tax of SI,S4O. Then Jess paid a surtax Of S23,570, which in toto makes Q tax of 40. which left him s8S, ,590 for his few minutes work a Toledo

It is the opinion of those who watched her swimming that after August she will be the new champion.

" COBB SAYS TRAINING TRIP
 IS ALL BUNK

Detroit, July 28-Ty Cobb answers the critics of his training camp meth ods by the assertion that the routine of one month or six weeks is entirely too long for the ball player.
 For many seasons Cobb has refus- ed to report to the Tigers when they entratned for DiMeland. Rarely has he jumped into uniform earlier than @ week or ten days before the open ing of the regular season. Cobb's enemies repeatedly declare that fail ure to train would handicap Cobb considerably. But 1t has never done so. Several times the Southern Ty- phoon' has started slowly, but along about mid-June he has found his stride and breezed along to the sub lime heights of the offensive base ball world.
 -Four to six weeks,' training in the South, with two sessions daily, hurts rather than helps a player Cobb explains. After two weeks in the South the player is trained rath- CT fine. After that strenuous train ing begins to sap his endurance. When the season opens he looks good and plays well. But before mid-Au- gust you will notice that he is grow ing stale, that he isn't playing with all the old dash and speed.
 Early in my career I spent four to six weeks in training camps. Us ually I reported for the opening of the season in fine condition. But af- ter about two months I would begin to get a little stale. My work would lack zip. I decided finally that it was because I was overtrained. So one season I did not report to the camp for the full training but merely put in about ten days work.
 "As a result l was able to put into the regular playing season all the en- durance that was necessary and l carried it right along through to the end of the season. Instead of fin ishing the baseball year Jagged and worn out and trained off, l was just as good physically when the season began. And ever since then I've fol- lowed that system of training. just enough to get the kinks out of my arms and legs without the sacrifice of stamina"

FElNSTER, OLD
 EASTERN STAR,
 HELPS YANKEES

One of the members of the New York Americans who is watched with interest by Bridgeport fans and other enthusiasts around the Eastern Leag que circuit is Wilson Fewster, utility player of the Yankees. He will be remembered for his work at second base and shortstop for Wor- cester when the veteran Mckinley managed the club 9. few years ago.
 Wewster was owned by Baltimore of the International League at the time he was with Worcester. He did so well in the Eastern League that he was recalled by Baltimore. In the International he compiled a batting average of .299 and was sold for big price to the Yankees.
 Last year FewSter was in ship yard and during the past winter he became i'll. The result was that when he reported to the Yankees he was not in good shape. During the past month however he has been recovering his old form.
 F'eEster has been filling in at cen ter field for the Yankees and last week in a game at Boston he climbed aboard Babe Ruth for three hits. He is also a lively cuss out in the field and puts lots of speed into his work when he gets on the bases. As slow ness on the paths Is one of the Yankees faults Fewster will prob ably be given plenty of opportunity to shine.
