NJ BRIDE WILL
COACH TIGER
INEIELl
Former Washington Manager
Signs to Aid Cobb With
Cats in Augusta

DETROIT, Nov. George r..
Mcbride, former manager Of the
Washington Griffmen, has been
signed to assist Manager Cobb and
coach the youthful Tiger infielders
for 1925. McBride's home is in
Milwaukee where he is keeping in
shape as star bowler. He win be
with the first squad going to Au-
gusta, Ga, next sping.
Fred Carisch, former Pittsburh
catcher, and Otto Williams, former
star infielder Of the st. Louis
Browns, were Tiger coaches last
summer. President Navin declined
today to name either as to be sup
planted by Mcbride.
Mcbride played professional base
bali for twenty years, retiring as
manager Of the Washington club
after being injured by a thrown
ball. That was in 1921 and he has
been out Of baseball since then.
After failing with the Pirates
In 1905 and the st. Louis Cardinals
in 1906, Mcbride joined the Wash
ington Americans in 1908 and re-
manned with them until 1921. He
was never a hard hitter, but ranked
with the greatest fielding short,
stops in the major leagues. Be.
cause Of his experience as an in
fielder he is expected to prove OF
great value to the Jungaleers.

PIRATES COULD
PROFIT BY
EXAMPLE
Lack High Spirit Set BY
Chance and Cubs Back
in 1908

The smashing finish of the 1908
season will never be forgotten by
the older generation of fans. It
was the year in which the Chicago
Cubs, led by that spirited leader,
Husk Chance, won the pennant
after q playoff with the Giants.
A week before the race ended 1t
looked as though Chicago was hope
lessly out Of it. The players were
Disguised. Their heads were down.
One evening, as they were dressing
after a game, Joe Tinker said:
We'll. it's all over, boys. Let's
go out and make q night OF It,"
Chance banged his fist on the
rubbing table. mo, you won't" he
reared. 1--WE still have a chance,
and we won't quit till the thing
is over. Heads up, everybody"
The next day the Giants lost and
the Cubs won, and were back in
the race again: They eventually
won out, and everybody gave the
credit to Chances unyielding spirit.
The Pirates of the last three years
lacked that high heart, and, in
consequence, never could do better
than finish second.
1t may be that Reindeer Bill Kill
lefer will emulate his predecessor.
Frank Chance. Everybody hopes
that he will.

FULTON MEETS
TOUGH GUY
|NFUENTE
Mexican Heavyweight Has
Laid Away Six Men in
Six Months

Tony Fuente, the startling new
Mexican heavyweight, has signed t,
fight Fred Fulton, the much-plas
tered plasterer. Tony has stopped
six men and beaten Floyd johnson
In the past two months, so he is re-
garded as a very likely prospect for
a future championship.
II Tony is anything like the won
der he is cracked up to be, pom
derous Fred won't hnger around
him very long. It is quite likely
that Fulton will outweigh the Mex
lean by some forty or fifty pounds,
but that should make little diff
ference.
Fredward has long sought the
title Of champion high diver In COM
petition with Joe Beckett, AL Rob
erts and other noted canvas-crash-
ers, and il he isn't the king at that
particular line he Is certainly close
to the top,
Possessing everything that a
champion should have-excepting
speed and fighting spirit-Mr. Full
ton has never achieved anything
like greatness and never win.
Fred's fight with Jim Holland, Of
Baltimore. will long be remembered
by those who saw 1t. Holland was
a raw youngster, with only three or
four fights under his belt. He was
slow and had only his punch and
non-hearted courage to recommend
him.
For three rounds Fulton battered
him numerically, closing his eyes,
gashing his face, reducing him to q
pulp. But always Holland came
gamely in, trying, always trying.
In the fourth round Jim landed
q heavy blow to the stomach. Full
ton WINGED and cried 'Foulv'-cried
"Foul!' mind you, against a beaten
man, who was weak and almost
blind.
How the crowd nowled Its de-
rision!
That's the sort Of man Tony
Fuente has to meet. If he has any
stuff at all he must win.

On the very eve Of the most i'm,

Georgetown suffered a severe set
back when Jack Hegarty and Don
Flavin were both injured in the

There is possibility that Hegarty

SUPPLEE AND BEATTY TO
PLAY BACKFIELD JOBS

Hard pressed to find some weight
for his backfield, Coach Curly Byrd,
at the University Of Maryland, has
drafted his two ends, Supple and
Beatty, and has given them posi-
tons behind the line. Supplee has
filled In at quarter to the queen' g
taste, but Beatty does not seem
to like the half.back position award
ed to him and he will probably get
back on his flank job.
Coach Byrd is hopeful of making
more than good showing against
Yale at New Haven Saturday, and
he is building his hopes mainly on
the backfield, since the line has
shown that 1t is fully capable Of
taking care of its own end.

HARVARD FACING TOUGH
PROBLEM SEATING FANS

Harvard Is seriously considering
a plan OF filling in the open end Of
its stadium with 100000 locker
building, which viii be banked on
one side with 10000 additional seats.
This will increase the seating ca.
pacity to $4,000.
Not few Of the Cambridge att.
letic officials, however, point out
that this will offer only temporary
relief; that the demand for seats
at football games is growing so
fast that 10000 will prove entirely
inadequate.
They have suggested, therefore,
that new stadium be erected that
will rival Yale Bowl In seating
capacity.

There have been frequent breaks

the growing popularity of this tus-
sic between two teams that have

AS was the case last spring Ty
will invite his rockies and his bat
terry candidates to assemble in the
training camp at least two weeks
ahead of the regulars. This will
give him chance to work with
his raw material and get a line on
his candidates before the squad be-
comes so large and unwieldy that
1t will be difficult to give the
youngsters the proper amount OF
personal attention.
1t is Ty's plan to have an
unusually large group Of potential
stars in camp the coming spring.
While his ball team is not an old
one there are number OF veterans
who cannot hope to be at their
best many seasons more and Ty
must begin to cast about for new
material to thrust into the breach
when veterans begin to slip.
There will be q number Of men
On camp In the spring Of whom
nothing will be expected tho

they show the proper amount OF
baseball instinct and muscular
activity will be put out to de.
VeIOp for future reference. A
number Of the promising candI.
dates I'm camp in the spring will
be started on an education from
which they may expect to grad
uate into the Tiger ranks about
two years hence.
OF course Ty needs a pair Of in
3ielders Immediately, and it is prob.
able he will have to manufacture
them In the spring training camp,
for It, is not easy to buy satisfac-
tory men. He will go into action
in the spring, however, with an I'M
usually promising group OF ath.
letes.

Ell first baseman who starred with

nant, will be back and he will
be kept. Then IL anything happens
to Lu Blue, the club will not be
without the services Of good first
baseman. as was the case in the
latter part of the season just
closed. Failure Of the Tigers to
have a suitable substitute for Blue
probably cost them the pennant.
TavenOr, the sensational short.
stop of the Texas league, is an
other of whom q glorious future
Is predicted and he will be on the
Job. If he comes anywhere near
expectations he surely will be re-
tanned if, indeed, he doesn't be-
come the regular shOrtstOp.
In addition to Burke and
O'Rourke, who did most of the Sec
ond basing last season. there will
be other candidates for that job.
Last season O'Rourke was playing
out of his regular position, having
been short-stopping the first half Of
the year, and despite this he did
well. He might even star next sea-
son, while it Is cinch that Burke
will be an improved player.
Experience is expected to make a
star of Burke. He is onA Of the
least experienced Of all the men now
playing in the majors as well as
being one of the most promising
Of the younger men.
II Ty can get two good infielders
out Of the bunch he will be well
set for the next campaign, Of course
assuming that q couple Of good
pitchers are found.
