TENDON
IN DOAk'S ARM
FOUND bYREESE
Cardinals Pitcher Signs Con-
tract and Writes He Expects
to Surpass 1921 Record.

ST. LOUIS. Feb. 11.-Branch
Hickey peeled a signed contract and
q letter out of an envelope at the
Cardinals headquarters yesterday
afternoon. Ruffling with the docu-
ment he came across Bill Doak' s
signature at the bottom.
That's the boy I've been waiting
for" announced Branch to the
staff He wheeled around in his
chair and mumbled a flock of Judas
Priests about the Standard Oil for
titling the fare on gasoline. What
does Branch care about another
copper per gallon when Bill Doak
is in line?
And then he proceeded to care,
fully inspect the communications.
Word by word he travelled, line by
line, and then au outburst with the
that pennant pole out at Sports
mans Park.
Read this, read this" signaled
BranCh's shoulders and followed the
signal. The communication made
this startling announcements:
Bill Doak pitched throughout the
1921 season with misplaced liga-
ment around the right elbow.
Who told Branch? The letter
Bill sent on such information after
swishing his name to his 1922 con.
tract. Bone.setter Reese of Youngs-
town, Ohio. made the discovery and
handled the repair job several weeks
ago.
With this startling news at hand
Hickey called for the official record
book on the 1921 season, the book
containing the statistics on the
pitchers and there he found Bill
Doak's name at the top of the heap,
Doak was first with an earned run
column of 2.5S. There we're exactly
70 pitchers officially tabled in John
Heydler's averages and Bill was in
the front seat in the parade. In
point of victories Doak was sur.
passed by two. Babe" Adams and
"Whitcy" GlaZner of the Pittsburgh
Pirates each had an average of .737
with IA victories and five defeats
and Bill was next with his mis-
placed ligament with Is victories
and six defeats.

All through his career as player
and coach. Spaulding has displayed
unmistakable signs of possessing
that spirit called punch. When a
star in college, he was twice chosen
captain Of the football team, and
during his career as a coach twice
developed teams that went through
the season without n defeat.
The entrance of Coach Spaulding
into the western conference fold
probably will mean the passing of
the famous Minnesota shift. Teams
developed by him, admirers said to-
day. probably will be of the shock
order-hard bloCkers, taCklers and
fighters: knowing enough, too, of
the modern forward pass game to
travel that spectacular and easy
scoring route when the occasion
offers.

known, first demonstrated his
punch at Wabash College in 19O3-O5,
and played halfback on the famous
aggregations of that Hoosier insti-
tuition which won the title of Lit
tie Giants" At that time Spauld-
ing weighed close to $50 pounds
and could travel 100 yards in ten
seconds.

College was established in kalama-

aggressive captain of the Little
Giants" to develop the athletic de-
partment at the institution.
Spaulding started in with Virtu-
ally nothing in the way of material
equipment or prestige, and built
up major sport teams, which, in
the last few seasons. have come to
a rating exceptional in their class
and have compared with university
teams on an equal basis.
In 1913 his team went through the
season without a defeat, winning
from the colleges Of Michigan, out
side Of the university and NJ. A. G.
In 1914 Spaulding again sent his
team through the fall campaign
without a defeat, and in 1915 devel.
oped an aggregation that fairly
slaughtered the NJ. I. A. A. colleges.
In 1917 the Ann Arbor athletic
authorities gave Western State Nor.

JOE RAY WILL TRY TO
LOWER CONNECTS MARK

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-There are
a few more distance.running records
on the books which are not down to
the credit of Joie Ray, the record
wrecker from Chicago, and he has
promised the Seventy.Srst Regi-
ment A. A. that he will try to re-
duce the present figures for one
mile and a quarter at the indoor
games of the regiment at the ar
mory next Monday evening.
This race has been added to the
program especially to give Ray an
opportunity to try for the world
record of 5 minutes, 3S AS seconds,
made by Tommy Conneiff, of Bergen
Point, N. j.. on September 2, 1895.
Ray has assured the officials that he
will break this record next Monday
night. He asked the games com
mittee to nlake the hold a handicap
affair in order to be assured of suf-
ficient competition.

complete without banquet on each
end and in this respect both Roanoke
and Washington promise to make 1t
a banner affair. Although the teams
are keen rivals, each having won
two of the four annual battles en-

This is i'm marked contrast with
conditions that prevailed In the

Veteran bowlers who represented

and those who backed them culver
with anger when the name Brock
ton is breathed, even these many
years after the conflict.
The Brockton team combined trick
alleys with a style of ball and pin
unfamiliar to the Washington men
to get away with a large purse. 1t
amounted almost to fraud. The Cap
ital City bowlers could barely keep
a ball on the Brockton alley while
their opponents tipped the sphere
straight into the flock with marked

ty. After Brockton, it was refresh
ing to take up relations with a group
of bowlers so sportsmanlike as those
Of Roanoke.
A news dispatch the other day
told of Brockton citizen who
swiped lao from a coffin. The
surprising thing about it, as Henry
Rodier put it today, is that the
Brocktonite didn't take the coffin,
too. Henry arranged the famous

A terrific left hook that caught
Kansas flush on the jaw and sent
him sprawling on the canvas in the
eleventh round really decided the
fight in Leonard's favor. The smash
dazed the Buffalo mauler and he

knockout following the knockdown,
but Kansas stood him off.
For the first seven rounds
