President George Washington
Grant of the Braves did not make
any comment on the two trades the
owner of the Red Sox recently COM
pleted and which knocked the fans
of the Hub dizzy. While the fans
of Boston, particularly the follow
ers Of trc American league team of
that cit, are awaiting restoratives,
the or Of the Braves no doubt is
doing e oil heavy thinking, and
perhaps wishing. Grant is show
man ard good business man. He
EnoWs what the public wants and
always strives to satisfy it. Being
Il Snowman, Grant no doubt realizes
that the two recent deals made by
tae Red Sox. especially the one in
which the Yankees figured, has
opened the way to make Boston a
National league town almost ex-
clusively.
Now is the time for Grant to act
The iron is hot and he should strike.
for 10 strike now would send the
stock of his club soaring high.
From Boston comes word that the
fans have resented the recent ac-
tions OF the owner of the Red Sox,
and il that is true it would not
take much to make them turn and
support the National league club of
that city mort literally than ever.
The Braves were contenders for the
National league flag in mid-season
last summer, and when they were
figured as possible pennant winners
the fans turned ont in droves while
they we're playing 1t home. The
Red Sox were almost forgotten.
Eut the Boston team lacked the
c.4ss necessary to remain in the
fight to the end Of the wire, and
when the slump came there was a
slight decrease in patronage.
But the squirt proved that the
Hub fans want a winner and will
support one. They haze not had a
championship National league team
tk7re since 1914, and the last Amer
lean league pennant was won under
the direction of Edward Barrow in
1915, the year the Red Sox were

composed of such players as Ruth,
Mays, Schang, Bush, McInnis and
Scott, all of whom have since been
sold or traded to the Yankees or
Indians.
The Hub fans are weary Of see-
ing former members of the Red Sox
help win pennants for other clubs
and are hoping that in the near
future a team representing Boston
will be contender for the highest
honors Of the game. But they do
not expect to see their representa-
for the houoTs. They depend on
the National leaguers to make their
fond dreams come true.
the Braves are strong, but not
strong enough to win National
league pennant. But all the team
needs is additional strength in the
pitching department to make it a
real serious contender. What joy
Grant. the wise Snowman, could
cause in Boston by landing either
by purchase or trade a pitcher that
would practically make the team a
dangerous contender!
Rumors that Al "Cozy" Dolan
would be released by tAe Giants 70
make room for Johnny Evers as a
lieutenant to John McGraw were
set at rest when Secretary Jim
Tierney of the club recently an
nounced the receipt of Dolan's sign
ed contract for the season Of 1922.
Dolan joined the Giants at San An
tonic last spring. following his re-
lease by the Cubs, and rendered no
little aid to McGraw during the
pennant campaign. That Dolan
will be with the team again this
year does not necessarily mean that
Evers will not, though no intima~
ton that the Trojan again will wear
a New York uniform has been given
by McGraw. With Dolan and
Hughie Jennings in line there would
seem to be no room for Evers, but
he is too smart a baseball man to
be allowed to remain loose. and If
McGraw can find a place for him
it is certainty that he will 90 SO.

Giant Shortstop Thinks Fast
and Heads Off Runners at

NEW YORK. Oct 19.-Beauty Ban
croft, the Giants shortstop, made four
plays in the world series which direct
ly offset four of the Yankees thirty
two hits and perhaps actually pre-
vented their winning the last two
games. These plays-all about the
same-were ''think" plays in which
neat action kept pace with light

are executed in the course Of the
season. But they come off so smooth
~ that their Importance and perfec-
ton often miss the crowd.
In the semi-final game Bancroft
twice intercepted long throwins from
Cunningham in center field, as the
hitter rounded first and the previous
runner scampered into third. The
throws were directed to catch the
runner at third Bancroft saw each
time that it was TOO late for a put
out there, so he cut down the ball,
flashed it to Frisch at station two
and caught the hitter trying to take
second.
Under slightly different circum
stances Bancroft did the same thing
twice in the last game. Frisch did

Then Coach Phillips team opened
up. East and Johns featured in every
play. but It was team play that count
ed. Three touchdowns were scored
by Elwood in the first half. but the
try-for-point was missed each time.
Elwood led at half. IS to 0.
Peru never stopped fighting, but
Elwood always had the right play
every time the team needed ground
and an assortment Of forward passes
worked from q shift play piled up the
score. No high school in the State
has more clearly demonstrated the
value Of the forward pass than did
Elwood yesterday. Three times
Elwood was penalized for holding and
Elwood lost about forty yards for
their backs being in motion before
the ball. In spite Of these heavy
penalties, Elwood piled up a top
heavy score and used its second strine
men in the final period.
Earned Scores
All of Elwood's touchdowns were
earned except one and that came OF
an intercepted forward pass a minute
before the end of the game when
Elwood's left end raced fifty yard
for a touchdown Chaplin returned
TO the game two minutes before the
final whistle. He caught the ball or
the kickoff and lodging tackler
after tackler he reached the goal line
only to have the ball brought back
to mid-field for ne had stepped over
the side line.
Elwood's football team, which de
feated Peru yesterday was many
points stronger than the one that de
feated Technical early in the season.
Coach Phillips has developed one Of
the fastest, most clever football com
binations that ever represented an
Indiana high school. Its team play
was like a well-oiled machine both
on offense and defense To the
credit OF Coach RedmOn's boys it
must be said they never stopped
fighting, but it was a case Of the Ell
wood team knowing too much foot
