OLD NOAD DOWNES SEES
VIDAL SHOOT EN- ALSO

Old Noad Downes, the crack
youngster who jumps center for Cat
laudet. saw something OF an ath( etc
in Eugene Vidal, who brought the
Camp Humphreys team to Kendall
Green for scrimmage last night.
Vidal played center for the Camp
team and got eight baskets. just two
less than Downes.
The Gallsudet team appeared weak
on defense although the Kendall
Greeners got in on the long end Of
a 80 to 20 count. Downs mainta med
his average from the floor but was
almost oUtscored by the Army star.
Humphreys will play the George

many more wild fans Of Suggesting
the trade of Johnson 20 the Yankees"
wen say right here that If the Wash .
ington ball club were TO hop out and
cop the pennant next summer the Dis
trict would go insane over the tri-
umph Sylvester Breen and his Alex
aLdria Cardinals, with Tom Fisher
hanging on to the parade, Sould stir
up all Virginia. And not one of the
cheering fang would care one jot or
title what particular PLAYERS brought
about the miracle.
If Walter Johnson had been trade d
TO the Yankees before the deed was
done, some folks would probably say.
Too bad for Walter not to be here
when the club won the penLant.'
Others might grumble, well, that's
what we got for letting Johnson GO.
He was Jonah, all right, all right.
We never got anywhere while We had
him And both would be typical ex-
amples of American baseball fans.
\ winning team is winning team;
that's all there is 10 that. It makes
no never mind who plays on il, so
long as it wins. This is the American
attitude in all its sports. 1t is espe-
cially true of baseball. Americas ma
tional game.
Therefore, without knowing what
is in Clark Griffiths' mind. we insist
that trading Walter Johnson for Il
pennant- winner would be the best
thing that could happen to Washing
ton. and the sentiment that IL for
gotten amid the cheers of victory
should not act as a handicap TO the
newest club president in the league

victory makes for stardom on she
diamond. II Walter Johnson were
traded TO New York. for instance, and
the players coming here brought with
, them pennant, Washington would
SAY at once that Clark Griffith had
pulled wise stunt by swapping one
star for four, or whatever the num-
ber might be. The victory would make
stars of all the Washington players
In June, 1914, no National League
fan would have picked Joe Connolly
a star. He had failed to make an
impression with the Washington club
and was with the Braves, down at the
tailend OF the race. In October this
same Joe connolly was sporting
.30o batting average as member OF
the worlds champions. He was
star.
Same Way With Smith.
II was the same way with "Red"
smith. He had been canned by
Brooklyn the year before as being
worthless. In June, 1914. he was
Lhird baseman with the tailenderS. In
October frantic fans shed tears be-
cause a broken leg would keep him
out of the worlds series. He had in.
creased in value that much since
June.
much about him in June of that year.
BY the time the worlds series ar
rived the whole baseball world knew
the smallest detail of his athletic
life. 1t was the same with Dick lIu-
dolph, a cast-off from the Giants, and
George Tyler.
Up to June. 1914, nobody in the
National League paid any attention
TO the Boston Braves. On the road
IN haI
play. At home the Red SoX got all
the rooters. While the Braves were
home the fans went 10 the beach. No
Boston sports writer could have been
hired TO travel with that nondescript
gang.
Everything Changed Fast.
Everything changed fast, once the
Braves began to win. Their final
swing through the West was chron-
jcled by eager war correspondents,
only too glad to be assigned with the
coming pennant-winner. SO marvel
GUS was the work of the Braves that
war started in Europe and many fans
knew nothing about it until Connie
Mack's murderous maulers went down
Tor the fourth straight time. Then
the hugs stopped thinking of Hank
Gowdy and began to read about the
onslaught Of the Kaiser's armies.
The magic touch of victory cannot
be gainsaid. A winning ball club,
though made up of castoffs and jokes
Of other days draws the applause OF
the public and brings in the shekels
TO the owners. The Cincinnati Reds
of last year, final winners of the
worlds title, were castoffs. But last
octoberthcy were measured most Sc
riously over against the admitted
stars of the Chicago White SoN. II
was victory that caused the change
in public sentiment.
We would be ridiculous TO promise
a pennant to Washington merely at
the expense of Walter Johnson. Like
wise we would be ridiculous to prom
Use Washington q penn2nt next Oc-
tober merely by keeping Johnson on
the roster. Such a certainty does not
exist il baseball

Ranked Next TO Csbb.

However. in the season OF 1909 the
mighty TriStram came into his own
and before the season was over he
was ranked next to Cobb among big
league outfelders. a position he has
held ever since. In fact Cobb never
played the outtield as does Speaker.
For that matter IL is safe TO say that
no outfielder in the history OF base
ball ever has accomplished as much
with an outfeld position as Speaker,
and in saying that we pay full trib-
ute TO such Old-timers as Jim Nc
Aleer Tom Mccarthy and Fielder
ones and such present day players
as Eddie Roush ard George Burns.

fields in the same fashion as his fore
fathers roamed over the vast prairies
Of the Lone star State.

Speaker dropped under the 300 mark
in batting. but for years iris has
been way up, disputinE the leadership
with Cobb and Jackson. In fact, iris

Red SoX were to have chance 10

This was only "A verbal understand

he stood head and shoulders n6oVe

from all over the country came down

Though spoke hiI $50 in the
Southern League he again proved a
disappointment when he finished out
the 1905 season with tho Rcd SoN.
There was no denying his brilliancy
as an outfielder. but il slill VAS a
question whether he could hit big

that fan he hit only 900.
