call went out for funds At various
times he was a member of the board
of directors" that hustled for the
funds, hired and fired the manager and
passed on the qualifications Of the
players.
In his younger days Harding played
baseball himself as an amateur first
baseman. One of his associates was
Bob Allen, who became famous as a
shortstop in the big leagues and now
is owner of the Little Rock Club in
the Southern Association.
Allen took to baseball as a profess
sion, while Harding inclined to some
thing more serious and went into
newspaper work, but they always kept
up their boyhood friendship. When
Harding was elected President, Allen
was one Of the first to congratulate
him, and the man who had risen from
country editor to the highest office in
the land answered with a letter that
began Dear Bob
The dead President was a product
of Main Street." and proud Of it
he began, to put it another way. as a
minor Lacquer and he didn't forget
his minor league associates when he
graduated to the big show.

From Sporting Newsl

1t was particularly appropriate that
baseball should do special honor to the
memory of the dead President, for
Warren G. Harding was a real fan,
distinct from that type of corners and
goers in Washington official life who
go to ball games because they have an
idea it will stamp them as quite in
touch with American life and maybe
give them a chance to have their pic
lures in the newspapers.
When Warren Harding was a factor
in the life of Marion, Ohio, and a fig
ure on the towns Main Street" as
the editor Of it's leading newspaper, he
became one of that sort of supporters
of the national game that every town
of 80, 900 or 10000 knows and for the
lack Of whom minor league baseball
would die out.
Marion had its ups and downs in
various minor leagues that flourished
and faded as time went on in Ohio,
and the towns history tells us that
Mr. Harding not only was a booster
in his newspaper and saw to it that
his sports editor gave the local team
plenty Of space, but that he also went
down into his pocket when the annual

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-Did
Chicago get a run for its money
when it spent>$1OO,OO0 for Third
Baseman Bill Kamm?
If you should put that ques-
ton to Kid Gleason, manager of
the White Sox, he would soon
settle it and in a most decided
manner.

Gleason recently. We were discuss
Ing players of the past and present.
Hes a wonder" the Kid popped
off, ''the greatest third baseman since

''Kamm works with such ease and
grace that a great many of the fans

chances look easy.

Bill has the ideal disposition for

Some Of the baseball experts say

Rivals Again Slated to Match Swim Skill

''I'H get you YETI said Miss Euph-
rasia Donnelly, and she meant it.
Go to itr' replied Miss Minnie
De Vry, and she shrugged her Shout
ders in a manner that suggested that
she meant it, too Then the two girl
swimmers smiled at each other and
went their respective ways.
Miss Donnelly is connected with the
Hoosier Athletic Club and is the great
est girl hope of the local fans, who
believe she will win some honors for
Indianapolis in the national amateur
championship swimming meet to be
held Aug. %, "a and rs at Broad
Ripple pool under the auspices Of the
Chamber of Commerce.

Miss Devry is swimmer for the
Illinois Athletic Club. The occasion
on which the challenge was uttered
and accepted was the conclusion of
a meet in Chicago the latter part of
last year.

two daughters of Neptune began
when Miss Donnelly won the 22O-yard
free style national Junior championship
from Miss De Vry in Indianapolis
last July. Miss De Vry threatened
vengeance, but Miss Donnelly only
smiled.
De Vry Won 1t Back
Several months later, the two girls
again met in Chicago in the same
event. This time, Miss De Vry, after
several months of training during
which a revengeful CLEAN never left
her eye. won back the 220-yard junior
title and has held to 1t since.
According to Bill Merriam, coach,
who has been putting Miss Donnelly
through some intensive training dur
ing the past few months, the IL
year old Indianapolis school girl will
carry a big wallop up her sleeve for
her Chicago rival in the forthcoming
meet. Whether she will be able to
put it over is a matter of conjecture
among local enthusiasts. Miss Don
