Here's Another Angle.

TENNIS champions are threat

the future If they insist on
writing signed articles in the
newspapers.
Here's another angle which the
tennis association might well
probe. Let the association In
sist that every player using his
name actually write what ID
printed below 1t.
There is nothing inherently
wrong in Bill Tilden's writing Of
tennis. Perhaps no other man in
the world is so well qualified,
But if Tliden merely sold the use
of his name, objection might be
made.
There Is dishonesty in a mans
claiming to have written what
somebody else actually did write.

refusal Of newspapers to accept
a series about tennis written by
one Meyers, but did ask for one
by Miss Helen Wills, adding that
Meyers "knows as much tennis

Watch Those Reds.

InAT MORAN says little al
any time, but he sure does
~ do things. With the Yam
KEGS and White Sox murmuring
about getting jake May, the
coast southpaw, he stepped in
and bought him. Outbidding the
Phillies, he has obtained Carl
Mays, done In this league. Not
holding his purse strings, he has
purchased Tom Sheehan, who
pitched winning ball for st. Paul
in the American Association in
1928. In other words, If good
pitching can give the Reds an
other pennant, he is making sure
to get that good pitching.
With Luque, Rixey, Pete Dom
oboe, and Rube Benton from last
years team, he will have in ad-
dition May, Mays, and Sheehan,
three pitchers with experience.
He won't have to teach any Of
them anything. They know how
to pitch now.
Tom Sheehan was with the
Mackmen in the days when they
were a farce as a ball club. He
went to Atlanta and later to st.
Paul. He is said to have devel-
oped into a crafty finger.
jake May was once with the
st. Louis Cardinals. A certain
lack Of seriousness drove him to
the minors. For two years he
has starred with the Vernon club
in the Pacific Coast League. He
is no chicken.
No need to say much about
Carl Mays. The Red Sox and
the Yankees have had his serv-
ices. If he regains his fast ball
he should be bear. He ought
to puzzle the National Leaguers
for a year, anyway, even without
q real fast one.
Cincinnati means to make a
rush for the 1924 pennant in the

rightly that they must be feared
before all other clubs in the cir.
cult.
The Washington times., 1924-01-08

There are two instances OF what
some players do in front Of the
public at this time. Charley Hol.
locher Of the Cubs. quit his team
without warning, sliding a note
under Bill Weeks door and taking
himself off to st. Louis. Physi.
clans of repute say he is in good
physical condition. While the sal.
aries Of bali players are matters
involving only the athletes and the
club owners 1t IL known that Hol.
locher was paid in excess of $4,000
per season. That should stimulate
O man to his best efforts.
Officials of the Cubs declined to
censure the action of their star, yet
those In the know can ascertain no
reason why he should not be con.
tent to earn q prima donna salary
on the North Side.
Urban ShOcker quit the Browns
when the club set down rules
which it thought best for the con-
duct of its wOrkmen. He wanted
to take his wife on an Eastern

The Washington times., 1924-01-08

The Griffs nosed their way into
the first division last season.
They did 50 largely because Sis
Ter played not at all with the
Browns and Urban Shocker quit
them in mid-season; the White
Sox were filed with various dis
sensions, Kid Gleason resigning
the moment the Chicago city
series was ended, and the Mack
men blew up with a bang after
making a wonderful and sizzling
start.
The 1928 Grihmen finished
ahead Of the Browns, the White
Sox and the Mackmen. But will
the 1924 Griffs finish ahead of
those same three teams?
The 1924 manager Of the
Griffmen must find a capable
third-sacker, a catcher capable of
relieving the sturdy little Muddy
Ruel occasionally, an outfelder
who can hit as we'll as field, and
at least six pitchers capable Of
pitching whole games, four Of
them in turn. It might also be
valuable to have an understudy
for the agin: Roger Peckin-
paugh.
Two months before the Grifr-
men begin real work at Tampa,
and not sure Of the line-ups of
the Browns, White Sox and Mack
men, we're inclined to say that
the 1924 manager of the Griff-
men Is facing a hard task. Odds
should be against his coming
home with a first division ball
club In October.
