September IL about 8 a. m. thirty
two Tech lads their coach, and fol-
lowers climbed aboard big Gardorf
truck and buzzed along through
Virginia on seventy-eight mile
journey to Paris, Va.
On an 1,S0O acre farm the Tech
lads began a strenuous life. Twas a
regular picnic for many OF the Tech
boys who had been working all sum-
mer. and who wanted to get ready
for football and at the same time
enjoy a little vacation.
Football. feeding, work and recrea-
ton. rounded out the day of IT on
the farm. There was Coach Apple
to give them their setting up exercises
and to coach them in the football
rules. Sessions were held daily on
fundamentals as well as the theory
of the game.
HELPED THOSE BOYS.
Then there was Elmer Hardell,
Techs track coach, to speed the boys
up a bit. Then Fred Heine could be
depended upon to put his 200 pounds
Of beef into urging the youngsters
along whether it was woodchopping,
footballing Or anything else.
Young Rowen, the niftiest boxer
around Washington put the gloves
on with the boys. Showed them how
to protect themselves with the gloves
on. and helped them with their foot
work. Bowen, Heine, Lanigan and
the other, life guards who worked at
the Bathing Beach all summer did a
lot for the good of the squad when
swbnmin' time was called each day.
The boys went through a regular
schedule. Up at o'clock and work
ed around till breakfast Then cut
ting locust trees until IL o'clock.
then a swim, dinner, lecture on foot
bali rules training, a free period box
ing and the like and then football
from 4:30 until dark. Then supped,
the old camp fire or coon" hunting.
1t was great life for a week.
And here's where Paris, Va, horns
into the yarn.
The Baptists held fair. One OF
the zeal old Virginia fairs. Techs
youngsters volunteered to stage some
thing. They did. They laid out
football field-four young trees
chopped down and stuck in the ground
for goal posts--laid out their field
and went to work on a real football
game for the Paris, Va, fair folks.
The regulars downed the scrubs IL
to o in an honest to goodness game.
BOXED THREE ROUNDS.
Between halves FREQ Helne, VINO
stands about six feet two and weighs
around 200, went on for three-round
exhibition with Young Bowen, the
same the prize fight fans were talk
ing about last summer.
Then the Tech lads went back TO
tho farm in OK carts and started
another coon hunt. And Coach Apple,
Il is reported. who wasn't fast.
enough for the squirrels in the SOUR
rel hunting in the morning, went coon
hunting. And tits said that some of
the boys mistook black and white

Due to the unfortunate accident to
Ping Bodie in an exhibition game in
Pittsburgh early this month, Ruth has
been shifted over to center fieid. and
will play that position In the event
that the Yankees get into the world
series, as Bodie is lost for the season.
Though Ruth has played most Of his
games In right feld, for the purposes
of comparison IL will be necessary to
treat this celebrity with the center
nelders.
No matter where you look. the rival
contenders are strongly intrenched in
the center field position. The only
possible exception is Lee King, OF the
Giants. Lee Is not much OF a defen-
sive outnelder. but he Is hitting .3l4,
and his timely batting was a big aid
to the Giants in the drive which ad-
vanced them from seventh place to a
position where they are regarded as
warm contender.
THREE sLUGGERs HERE.
Three OF the greatest stars of the
American League are listed as the
center fieIders of the clubs struggling
for the supremacy of the JohnsoniAn
circuit-Babe Ruth, OF the Yanks;
Iris Speaker. of the Indians. and Hap
Felsch, of the White Sox.
In the National League. Eddie
Roush, greatest outheider In the vet
Gran major. plays center field for Gin
cinnati. Hy Myers. though hidden
under a bushel during a good part of
his National League career, Is. in the
opinion of the writer. the biggest In
dividual asset Of the Brooklyn club,
Hy Is ny hawk, has great arm.
and Is the most dangerous Dodger In
the pinch In 1919. he led the Ma
tionai League hitters in driving In
runs.
Space here doesn't permit 4 discus
sion as to who is the more valuable
man to his club, Babe Ruth or TITS
Speaker. 1t will suffice to say that IL
either the Yankees or Indians repre-
sent the American League in the
world series more will be expected OF
these players than of any others VINO
ever have participated In world series
competition. Particularly will this be
so If Ruth gets into the series. The
big Babe will make the series play
second fiddle as an attraction.
Ar the time II was necessary Tor
us to close our averages Ruth had
thirty doubles. seven triples and
forty-six homers in 146 hits. his extra
base hits being over 60 per cent OF
his bingles, a record never dreamed
of. Ruth then had scored 40 runs
but by the time this appears in print
he should be we'll past Ty Cobb's for
mer American League record OF lfI
runs scored in 1911.
And make no mistake about Guth
fielding! He has made thirteen errors
against only two last season, but the
Babe gets around. Yankee players
regard him as second only to Chick
Fewster on the New York team in
speed. He covers acres of ground, is
a sure catch and has a grand arm.
He has 40 outneld assists to his
credit.
Ruth has been a member OF three
worlds championship teams, the Red
Sox of 1915. 1915 and 1918, but In
former series he won fame with his
pitching. so far he has made only
one world series hit triple which
broke UP a game against the Cubs
in 1913.

"Rube" Benton, pitcher on the New
York Giants, will go before the grand
. Jury today. He is said TO have been
Approached with an offer OF $foo 10
"throw a game" Benton is here ana
ready to tell whatever he may know
of value to the Investigation.
Benton is expected to answer the
charges made by Charles L. CHUCK
Herxog, second baseman OF the Chi
cago Cubs. that the Giants pitcher
won SO, 800 by betting on Cincinnati
In the worlds series OF 1919 after he
had received a telegraphic Tip" from
Hal Chase, former Giants first base
man, that ii had been liked Tor
the Reds to win. Benton Is expected
also to back up his charges that he
was offered $500 by Herzog to "throw"
game to the Cubs>in September or
last year.
Affidavits are in Herzog's posses
zion and have been made public. that
Benton "scraped together all the
money he could get" and wagered on
Cincinnati in the last worlds series.
The afridavits were made by Arthur
Wilson, catcher, and N. ID. c'TonyD
Boeckel, third baseman OF the Boston
Braves. Wilson and Boeckel allege
that Benton, In a conversation In the
P.addoca Hotel in New York last
April, declared he had received tele-
gram from Chase advising him to bet
on Cincinnati to win the first two
games.
HERZOG TELLS TALE.
Herzog declared he had obtained
the dispositions from Wilson and
Boeckel after Benton had charged him
with offering the pitcher bride to
"throw" a game to the Cubs.
Buck" declared he went to the Of
fice of President John Heydler, of the
National League, when he heard of
Benton's charges and demanded an in
vestigation. Benton was called in.
Herzog declared, and reiterated his
charge in the presence of President
Heydler.
After an investigation, Heydler
gave Herzog letter, the player says,
in which the head of the league cx-
pressed his belief that HerZog never
had been involved in baseball gam
bling. The letter, Herzog says, is in
his possession. 81.
Herzog's charges against Benton
and Benton's charges against Herzog
are only one angle of the investisa-
ton the grand jury has undertaken
Assistant States Attorney Hartley
Replogle, conducting the investiga-
ton. has made the public declaration
that the "last worlds series was not
on the square," and that from five
10 seven players on the White Sox
team are involved"
Replogle's statement is believed to
have been inspired by testimony
given before the grand jury by
Charles A.. Comiskey president of the
White Sox; Ban Johnson, president Of
the American League and other wit
nesses who appeared yesterday. De-
tails of the testimony OF these wit
nesses have not been made public.
Both Johnson and Comiskey, however,
are known to have made investiga-
tions when charges of 'crookedness"
followed the worlds series last fall.
President John A. Heydler, Of the
National League, will present his tes-
timony next Monday or Tuesday.
