New-York tribune., 1922-10-20

carried OH under the rules and reg
various centers loud and raucous S
aspects of the post-season exhibitions
and tinkered with this year, and TIL
From the standpoint of the specta-
tors who shell out current coin Of the
realm to see well-known stars in ac-
tion when some Of these highly adver-
tised gentlemen spend the afternoon
| about thousand miles from the scene
of action, the whole campaign is as
| much on the level as a hiii-ciimbing
contest for motorcycles. From the
seats OF the mighty where the baseball
magnates watch their little boys who
have been let out of school it looks as
though some of teachers pets were
getting in bad company. In the Middle
West it is rumored that major ieagfe
transformers have played against
plenty of ineligibles and other black
sheep of the baseball species.
Out in st. Louis team made up of
representative players from one of the
Western clubs in the Ban johnson cir
cult was handed gaudy trouncing by
a troupe Of colored gentlemen. 1t was
alleged that gamblers who were barred
from major league parks were occupy
ing prominent seats in the orchestra
at this performance. Coming closer to
home, team advertised as Worlds
Series Stars with Rosev Ryan, Jack
Scott and other major leaguers, was
defeated by colored semi-pro club
last Saturday and Sunday at Dover and
Harrison, N. j. However, the games
were close.
All this information is being checked
up by the magnates in the various ter
ritories, and Judge Lands will have
ton of it to wade through before he
can think Of a remedy.
Giving Fans Run for Money
It is only fair to say that the boys
around the metropolitan district, and
have given the fans run for their
money. Frank Frisch was just as in
dustrious in his Bronx Oval appear
ances as he was at the old Polo
Grounds stand. George Sisler played
a rattling good game IN several exhibi-
tions around these parts, and reports
from Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel would
indicate that they were giving the fans
what the fans paid to see, to wit, home
runs by the Babe and triples by Bob.
These athletes are, evidently picking
their steps with care, knowing that all
their actions are of interest to the
sporting public. 1t is the lesser lumi-
naries Of the game who seem to be for
getting that the "knows-alI, sees-all,
universal eye" of fandom is upon them
in whatever hidden hamlets their cleats
kick up the dust.
Dan Howley, former Detroit coach,
who was recently appointed manager
of the Toronto club of the Interna-
tional League, was around town shop
ping for players yesterday. He GER
tainly picked the right city. With a
little exercise of his No. 10 shoes he
visited four major league offices-the
and buffalo nickel inserted in a
featherweight took him over to the
fifth shopping center in Brooklyn. He
didn't say what luck he had-he doesn't
want to discourage some of the young
sters who are going south next spring
under the impression that the major
leagues are yearning for their services.
Eddie Bennett, the Yankee mascot.
dropped into the Yankee Offices yester-
day and beamed all over as Business
Manager Barrow presented him with
$500 check as personal gift from the
club. Eddie also will draw down $500
from Judge Lands as his share of tbs
series split for the Yanks. The dona-
tion from the club was a welcome sur
prise to the little lad, and he left the
office ready to tell the world what
great family he worked for
Stallings Seeks Yankee Youngsters
George Stallings, the Rochester skip
Fer IN the international Leage, is anx-
.ous to get some of the Yankee young
sters tor his team in 1928. The for
mer Yankee manager was slightly dis
appointed, to say the least, when he
drew blank last season after he had
groomed both "Smiler" Murphy and Nor
man Mcmillan for the Hngmen in 1921.
These two were the only players Of the
whole rookie crop at New Orleans to
make the grade this last season. How
ever, the Paying Coionels had no in
tention OF discriminating against Stall
llngs. They offered him Hinkey Haines
last year and he refused to take the
Penn Slater, probably because of the
over 300 with Jersey City and Reading
later the Rochester skipper thought he
might have been q bit hasty in his re-
fusal.
q. The Yankee management is mum m
the question of staging the Army-Nayy
game next year. 1t was a forepone
conclusion that they would do their ut
most to schedule the game for the new
Yankee park as soon as the building
scheme was projected, but thew hav,s
nothing official to announce as va.
Ihey have hopes and large seat;n ,
capacity, but them papers, has no; |
yet been signed.
