Fooled Them When Eddie

Sports Editor Of The Americas.


BALTIMORE, Aug. 21,--some
1000 fans turned out for the ex.

and the White Sox at oriole Park
Tuesday afternoon ana were repaid
with an exhibition that bordered on
the real bush-league variety.
Nearly all Of those 1000 fans
went away sore" In fact. they
were ''sore" from the time the
teams trotted on the field, and It
was apparent that two of the star
players, Eddie Collins and Maurice
Archdeacon. would not be in the
lineup Of the visiting club.
The makeshift aggregation that
faced the Orioles play raggedly
and was trounced, Q to ..
It was most unfair for the local
club to permit the fans to labor
under the impression. until the
eleventh hour, that the White Sox
would bring their regular team
here with them. Eddie Collins did
not come to Baltimore, stopping off
at his homo in Philadelphia.
Perhaps Is or 80 per cent Of the
LduS turned OUT TO see Collins per.
form. They were keenly disap.
pointed.
The fact that the Orioles won
decisively over the major leaRuere
meant nothing. The victory was q
hollow one.

Madden Denies He L
Human Punching
Apparatus

BARLEY Madden has turned to
literature as a diversion. He
takes his pen in hand to tell
the world that he is not a
human punching bag az his
critics infer, but an honest-to-
goodness heavyweight pugilist.
II am going to Ireland within
the next few days, and when /
return, which will be in about
six weeks, / will be ready for
q new campaign and will be
open to meet anybody, from
Jack Dempsey down to Harry
Wills, Luis Firpo and Jack
Renault. I win prove then that
/ can still fight and am not
merely a punching bag"
In going to Ireland for .
friendly visit Madden may run
into trouble. The fame Of his
prowess may already be talked
about there, and there may be
some one over there who may
take exception TO it.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 21.--It is not
a secret that Jake Daubert was
sorely disappointed when Jack
Hendricks was selected to pilot the
Reds after Pat Moran's death in
Florida last March. When Hendricks
was reappointed manager Of the
Reds for next year Daubert met
with another disappointment, be-
cause he figured Hendricks would
not stay in Porlville and that he
would be asked to manage the Reds
In 1925. Now Daubert never win

Eff you were asked to manage
the Reds a year from now would

question asked Daubert yesterday
In Cincinnati.
Absolutely no." was Daubert's
reply. "I have no desire to manage
the team now" he continued. 1.-The
owners Of the club had chance to
make me manager but didn't. Now
I figure they do not want me to
manage the club. but If they offer
me the job I will not accept it. /

"Wfl you play first base next

II don't know. Maybe they don't
want me. If they ask me to sign q
satisfactory contract I will come

I may retire and devote all my

showed, and the AAoe aWx@
ability Of their kid players. I've
seen a lot Of kids come up In my
day, but never saw any who
looked better than Cuyler and
Wright. And / never saw two kids
who had better spirit, either.
OF course I've known Marian
vile for long time-but 1 never
had seen him play second base be-
fore. Believe me, he was there
and just the proper sort Of chap
to help young Wright make the
most Of himself, too.
Then, since that day, the Pirates
have got Earl Smith as q catcher.
And Earl's a good one. He can
hit and he can throw, and he's q
fighter. We learned that about him
| in the world series. Believe me,
II the Pirates had a little more time
I've got a bunch they would make
things mighty warm for McGraw.
But Of course they've got a hard
job on their hands now, and I doubt
II they can do 1t.
What a great thing It would have
been for baseball, though. II the
Pirates had got started q little
earlier and the Reds had not been
slowed up by injuries. That would
have made the National League
race almost as close as our own,
and every fan in the whole coun.
try would have been roofing his
head off before the fight ended.
It would have been tough on the
ball players, though. Even old.
| timers, like the fellows on our
club, feel the strain along this time
of year-and If they had four or
five clubs fighting for first place
in each league, ! guess they'd have
to establish a home for players who
burned themselves out in the fight.
A lot Of people have an idea
that ball players 60 out there
every day and do their stuff
without any worries or any thrill.
That's the bunk. Even when
you've got good lead you begin
to feel the strain along about the
middle Of August. And when
you're battling like they are In
the American League it's all
strain. I've known players, par.
ticularly kids. who couldn't sleep
at night during an important Sc
ries, and I've seen big, strong
men who broke down and cried
in tire clubhouse when the club
lost game and the race was
tight.
Believe me, that's the time a
club shows what it really is. And
that's when old heads prove their
value, too. They've been through It
beforehand they know what tt
look for.
Which reminds me again of the
Pirates, and talk ! had with a
certain welI.known Giant week
ago. We were talking about the
National League race and the show
ing the Cubs were making. Know
what he said?
Were not worried about the
Cubs. They have a good club, but
they're nearly all kids. They'll blow
