Gallery Support Is Vocal
Tonic-They Wont Play
With You If You Try
to Play For Them.

Playing to the gallery. That's
a term OF contempt in sport. Mean
ing that some bird has made n diff
ficult play out of an apparently
easy chance.
The gallery is quick to spot Il
gent who is playing to 'em and TIA"
first 10 contribute generously TO
the community chorus or razzes.
They don't like the outfielder "h"
loafs on fly and GRABS ii with one
finger when he should be able 10
catch ii in his hip pocket.
Any sport is the same. The
tennis player with the superfiucuS
fiourshes is quickly card indexed
by the mob.
AS rule. the gallery athlete Is
lacking in some ability and makes
the most of his few opportunitie'
to horn in.
We used to know football
player who couldn't play SO good.
AT least. he was never called or to
pay an excess tax on his sridi:on
record.
But, he wore white bandage
around his skull that made his
head stick out like a sore thumb
Figuring on his thinking radius
IL
thumb.
Before each play. when the rest
of the linesmen were crouched for
the jump. he would be. up swingin"
his arms and Glaring like hobo
ready to jump on New England
boiled dinner.
He was the most prominent bird
on the field as he stood there Wav-
ing his lunch hooks. When the
play was over he was still stand
ing there, failing his arms.
Never got into play that h.
could claim exemption on.
He was gallery gladiator and
the gallery knew it. His coaches
knew; but il was small coileS"
team and they had no subs. Ihl5
was in the days before the goods
got so rough.
There is very little gallery play
in golf. except on the tees. Lots
OF sartorial golfers take few cNtft
swings there and then look around
TO see if they were wasted. Espc-
cially in front of double seN;atte
OF fiappers.
They figure that manly bedu-y
like theirs shouldn't be wasted on
the Eighteenth A nendmen. an.
The napper also likes to pose TOR
animal crackers on the tee.
Open to criticism of course. but
there are a lot of US who buy mas =
aZines just to look at the Harrison
Fisher on the cover.
You can't adopt the gallery, but
it's all hunky when the gallery
adopts YOU. They do, that often.
And YOU cant explain it.
II YOU fiirt with the boys in the
attic ringside seats. they're off YOU.
But when any athlete goes about
his business in workmanlike way.
they are with him.
They were for Brennan in the
Brennan Dempsey night.
Possibly on the well-known under
dog theory.

FRANK 0'D0UL MAY GET
HIS CHANCE ON MOUND

For the first time since Miller Hug
gins took charge OF the Yankees he
H. confronted with a shortage Of left
handed pitchers. Having disposed of
Thormahlen and MoRridge he now
has left only Harry Harper and
Frank O'Doul. Harjer, with the Griff-
men, was an in-snd-outer whose lack
OF control has seriously handicapped
him.
\ few weeks ago it was rumored
that O'Doul could be sent back to the
Pacific Coast League. lie has de-
clarcd that he will not return to
New York unless given a chance to
pitch himself into winning form.
Higgins is in a quandary, for he
cannot send O'Doul away without
losing title to him. Several major
managers arc ready to claim this
pitcher if waivers are asked.

Few teams have ever won pennants
without the aid OF at least one good
left-handcd pitcher. Last season the
Cleveland Indians struggled along
without n southpaw until late in the
season when iris Speaker brought
Buster Mails on from the Pacific
Coast. Tho games that Mails won
enabled tho Indians to finish In front
Of the White SoN and Yankees.
