ington club as left-handed pitcher
While he never showed enough stuff
to merit the belief that he would
make good as a pitcher, yet he
looked and acted the part of ball
player, so that he hung on as a
bench warmer.
Mack Makes Shift
Washington finally decided that
as pitcher Jameson would never
make the grade. Connie Mack, then
laundering around in last place, in
need of ball players, was willing
to take chance.
Mack soon reached the same de-
cision as Washington relative to
Jamieson's pitching ability. How
ever, Mack saw that Jameson had
ability as an outfielder and that he
looked fairly good at the bat against
right-handed pitching.
Used as a substitute outfielder
Jameson went along with varying
success as member of the Athlet-
les. Then came trade that brought
him to Cleveland.
Playing alongside Speaker, jamie.
son Immediately started to improve
in. all departments of play under the
tutelage of the master Outfielder.
Today Jameson is just about the
last word as an outfielder, while
at the plate he mixes them up in
the most approved style. In plain
words, he's real star.

PROBE MURDER
ON FIT. TOTTEN
RESERVATION

Devils Lake, N. D., Dec. 27.-In-

Benson county into the murder and
suicide of Gabel Cord and his squaw
Indians on Fort Totten reserva-

his squaw twice with a shotgun, the
first time from the door of hut

ing himself with shotgun, using
a string to pull the trigger. His
head was completely shot off.
The shooting took place in the hut
of Mrs. Cords mother-in-law, where
the squaw had been living since she
and her husband separated. The
mother-in-law speaks only Sioux
and it was with much difficulty that
information regarding the murder
and suicide, which she witnessed
could be obtained from her.

We suppose it was Mother Eve
herself who originated the practice
of turning over new leaf on New
Years day.
In picking an All-America football
team the 1924 idea seems to be to
see how many obscure players you
can nominate.
The failure of the magnates to
investigate the O'Connell-Dolan
baseball scandal was big surprise.

go on forever and no one realizes it
better than Higgins.
Should the Yahxs be unable to get
a man to replace Scott, it is possible
that Second Baseman Ward will be
shifted to that position.
1t is also possible that Scott might
be used to advantage at second.

Only the fact that Ward is not

NAEN!a11S
SAYS

Picking All-America teams is now
the fad.
Every football expert in the coun-
try has taken whrl at it.
While none Of the teams selected
prove thing, they make for plenty
Of argument.
With the wealth of material to
pick from, it would be possible to
select at least half dozen Allan
erica teams that would be of equal
merit.
Just prior to the Yale Princeton
game, prominent eastern grid
writer asked Coach Bill Roper for
his opinion on several players Of
All-America caliber.
After expressing himself as to the
merits of the players concerned,
Roper replied at the close Of the
season it would be an easy task to
select first team at least.
When pressed for his viewpoint,
he replied:
why | would simply name every
player on the regular Notre Dame
team. Most of the players are in
dividual stars and in team play the
last word. Yes sir! Knute Rockne's
Notre Dame would be my Allan
erica"
If ever player got the breaks in
baseball, that individual is Mike
McNally, former member of the New
York Americans.
During the recent meeting of the
majors in New York it was announ-
ced that McNally had been sent to
Boston in trade for Howard
Shanks.
That wasn't so good, from a near
champion to an also ran. But once
more Dame Fortune smiled on Mike.
Hardly had the trade cooled off
when there came another announce
ment that McNally had been sent by
Boston to Washington.
In two jumps Mike went from a
near champ to near tailender, then
back to world champions.
Realizing his club was weak in
infieId substitutes, Manager Harris
put over the deal for McNally, who
is a corking good man in the field
but just fair hitter.
McNally has been with four world
series clubs and has had cut of
second-place money besides. That
is sure getting the breaks for a
mere substitute infielder.
The American Association, in de-
Gliding to number the baseball play
ers, has shown itself to be pro-
gressive organization.
Sooner or later the majors and
other minors will follow suit, for
it is custom that is certain to
meet with the approval Of the spec
tators.
The players will be numbered
much after the manner of the col
lege football players. Numbering
the players has tended to Popularize
the gridiron game.
:: Often there are many new players
on the field in major league game
and even the dyed in the wool fan
only knows part of them.
Under the numbering system it
will be possible for any one to sat
isfy his curiosity as to players
name by merely noting the number
and referring to his score card.
