for his Alaska trip. confided to some
of his close personal friends that he
believed he would never live to return

e. Sawyer. his personal physician told
Marion friends of the late chief execu-
tive when they met the funeral train
at Willard yesterday. It was learned
here.
According to DR.. Sawyer the presi-
rent vas feeling very much worn
out" when he reached st. Louis, but
believed that he would regain his
strength in h rest period between
stops. However, according to DR..
Sawyer. he failed in this and his CON.
dition became more weak as the trip
progressed. When Mr.. Harding de-
livered his last public address 1 IN Seat
tie. members of his party said they
thought he would collapse before he
finished 1t. It was during this ad-
dress that he was attacked with a
dilation OF the heart. according to DR..
Sawyer. Members of the presidential
party at that time tried to persuade
the president to abandon the remand
er of his engagements. but Mr.. Hard
ing said that he thought no would
recover his strength on the trip from
Seattle to San Francisco. but his
vitality became steadily lower and
when tho party reached San Fran
cisco. the president was in such a
state that It was then decided that
all further speaking engagements
would be cancelled.
DR.. Sawyer told Marion friends that
the president realized the seriousness
of his condition before tho party left
Washington but did not make this
known. untn he was taken sick in San
Francisco.
The late presidents friends also
were informed that Mrs. HARDING. was
aware at all times OF the seriousness
of his condition and for hat reason
was constantly at his bedside during
his sickness IN San Francisco.
Intimate friends of Mr.. Harding
h re say he fully recovered
from his illness last spring. when.
they declare. he was in much worse
condition than was officially an
nounced.

Mr.. Clark stated that tho state would

matter and that the institution Of pro-

would probably have the effect Of
delaying rather than forcing payment
of these claims, which should have

\ young man from st. Louis who is
studying medicine here and who
knows something of the conditions
surrounding Sisler, today said that
should have played ball after he was
ordered out of the game by the doc
tors last season.
The first baSeman. according to this
authority, was told to stop playing
and stay stopped until further orders.
Then the 1ankS went TO ST. Louis and
'here was only the narrow margin
separating the two teams in the per-
centage column which differentiates
bean soup and puree Jack son. SiSler
felt that he owed it TO his team to
play. The doctors felt he owed II to
himself and to the chances of his
team in 1928 not TO play. They. told
him to put himself in sling and for
get the finish of the race.
May Not Recover for Year.
Sislcr would not. lie felt he might
bat his team to success. and he went
into the tight against New York. That
displayed courage and good will and
real base ball ambition, which is not
so common that the world runs over
a the edges with II. 1t also display
ed rashness, for the very thing has
happened that the medicos predicted.
They insisted furthed strain might so
handicap him he would not recover
for a year They did not say any
prove to be that bad the western sec
tion of the American League would
go into full mourning and the eastern
section would at least add touch of
lavender and a black border TO its
note paper.
Sisler should have six years in the
majors ahead of him If his injury is
not SO serious as II may prove to be.
in those six wears he can go a long
way toward duplicating anything that
any halter has done since base ball
got into high speed. If he had not
hit under 400 in 1921 he would be on
his way toward a goal no batter ever
has attained. His possible loss to st.
Louis can be expressed financially in
nothing short of six figures. and you
can double any such conjectural loss
10 the Browns and TO the American
Lea Guc in general.
Scott's Case Not to Be Repeated.
When Scott, the Giants pitcher, was
let go by Cincinnati some doctor said
he would never pitch again. There
must have been time limit on
again" for the next time that doc
Tor saw Scott he vas winning world
series for the Giants It is the only
instance on record where again" and
"world series" were Synonymous.
OF course. St. Louis is not going to
let Sisler steal away to prove it is
another incident like the Scott affair.

means is looked upon as low and mean.
Many stories have gone the rounds OF
men sitting In the center-1eld bleachers
and spotting the signals by aid Of field
glasses. At one time there was quite a
sensation about a semaphore being used
in one of the parks to tip off the signs
70 batters. I never knew II that were
true. AS matter OF fact, ! don't be-
lieve It to be any great advantage.
Al Bridwell's Experience.
On one occasion when AL Bridwell
had left US and was with another team
he came TO the Polo Grounds anxious
to help his batting average. Nothing
depended on the result Of the games.
The race was over.
Roger Bresnahan. who was catching,
laughingly told BridwelI what was COM
ing each time. Despite the supposed
advantage Of this knowledge. Bridwell
couldn't get a hit out of five times at
bat
Some managers seem to dote on mys-
terious and complicated signals. They
often carry il too far. Instead of giving
these signs by moving the cap. rubbing
the bat, or some such move, one OF the
Boston managers used to given them
by certain expressions.
The most laughable one ] ever knew
was for the coach to ven out "Red
Leary, the Bank Robber."' That was
the cue for the runner to steal.
Gettlng Dack TO the bench man nage-
ment. l do not mean to say that
will never go on the field again dur
ing the training period. There il is
absolutely necessary that the man
ager put on a uniform and work out
with the. players. To observe them
carefully and study their dispositions
he must be right out among them.

try to get there first and stay until
the last. 1t is rather difficult to make
q young player try anything that he
does not think the manager is willing
to try.
The example to these ambitious
youths means lot. 1t peps them
up to find that a manager twice their
age is always on the ground ahead
of them and going through the same
work that they are expected to do.
It's tough on the manager, too

got to go through.

The few weeks of spring training

touch on that in the next chapter.

In the last analysis, Ricksrd is a
Snowman. and he insists that of all
the opponents who are being named
for Dempsey today to the champion
in person, Jess is far and away the
popular choice.
Rickard declared that he is in a
better position to appraise the popular
mind than the newspaper man. OF
the mountain of mail that he receives
each day referring to the Dempsey
willard proposition. Rickard says 90
per cent of the writer's approve the
choice Of Jess as a title contender
The prevailing sentiment. Rickard
said, is that Jess did not get chance
to prove his real merits at Toledo,
that he was overconfident and did
not train properly. Finally, having
once been champion. Rickard de-
clared, II is the feeling of the public
that Jess is entitled to a chance to
win the title back again. So much
for Richards mail.
Says willard Tops List.
Richard said that If a vote were
taken today to pick the next con-
tender for the heavyweight title viii
lard would stand first. with the other
heavyweights nowhere
1t will be noticed that Rickard has
been referred to as a Snowman. He
pretends to be nothing else. AS such.
Rickard added that the best sort of
promoting is that in which the ele-
ment of sport is recognized and cher
fshed. and he insisted that any one
who says a Dempsey-Wiliard fight
would kill or even injure the fight
game is wrong.
And that is Richards side Of il.
Now for Willard himself
For the past three years. said Jess
Willard to the writer today, Il have
been chasing Dempsey for a re-
turn match. My reason for want
the best man won at Toledo. l firmly
believe l can vindicate myself. / am
sincere in my determination to get
another crack at Jack. have no
doubt whatever that l can, by hard
and consistent work, round into such
perfect physical condition as to
startle the most critical critic. II
Tex Rickard thought for a moment
that fight between Dempsey and me
would be the f1asco come claim, do
you think he would risk a million
dollars to kill his own business
Why Jess Lost His Title.
Then Ray Archer, WiIlard's man
ager, remarked: Jess lost his title
for two sound and logical reasons.
First, no boxer had ever extended
him and he foolishly was overcon-
hdent. Second, the bout at Toledo was
of secondary interest to him. as he
was busy with oil and agriculture
and production of a moving picture.
Every one knows he didn't train half
what he should have. Add to this the
fact that nine-tenths of those de-
nouncing Jess haven't seen him even
in street clothes. How can they tell
the public the truth about his physi-
cal condition."
Meantime Champion Jack sat in
with Rickard today reiterating the
fact that he won't leave town until he
signs to fight with some one, yes. any
one. whether he be black. white,
green. yellow or red-provided the
one chosen can draw the most money.

Tips on Playing Basket Ball;
Correct Rule interpretations
BY ED THORP.

NFFENSE. The speed with
which an ofense is started
is its greatest factor. Make
it fast always, but get it under way
before the opponents have chance
to get set No matter whether the
play is started OH an out-of-bounds
ball or after intercepting an oppo-
nent's pass. the play must start
fast. The more speed at the start
the easier it is to work the ball
down to shooting distance In
starting a fast offense avoid wild
passes or hurried catches, for these
often cost team possession of the
bail. Players should keep in mind
always that nothing is quite SO val
uable as possession of ball. Work
the ball back and forth, the receiver
always on the alert to feed a team
s1atc, should one cut for the basket.
