Corbett Visits His Home Town.
I'm CORBETT was given .
great reception when he blew
into Frisco last week. Jim
hadn't been there for q few years,
and the boys dolled up in their
best to greet the ex-champion.
Members Of the Olympic Club,
where Corbett learned to box,
bought out the entire orchestra
for Corbett's first night at the
Orpheum Theater and then blew
him to q midnight supper after
the show. Over three hundred Of
his friends were at the dinner,
and q good time was had by all.
"Scoop" Gleason tells us the
story that Corbett told at the
dinner. The story was about .
guy named Raglan, who played on
the same bill a. Jim In Chicago.
Raglan left the Windy City and
went to Boston to visit his mother.
He was describing the show to
her, telling her Of the big week
they had, and the great receipts.
The house was sold out every
night" he said. "The show was
a whale. Every act on It went
over big. Jim Corbett was on
the same bill as me, mother. He's
the fellow who beat John L. Sui
Ivan for the championship Of the
world down in New Orleans"
"Well, he had little to do" re-
piled mother.

going good, too. Right now
they're getting the best pitching
Ia either league and as long as
the pitchers hold UP they'll be
right up there. Don't forget that,
or course, there are other
things too. BucIky Harris has
proved TO be q fine manager.
He knows how to handle men.
He's not driver like John Nc.
Graw, or q general like Connie
Mack. He's more like WiIbert
Robinson. He encourages his
players. When they make a
good play he tells them about
e and when they b0bble one he
pats 'em on the back and wishes
them better luck next time. And
better than that he's in there
setting an example for them
every minute.
Then there's wild Matthews. wild
may not be the greatest outfielder
IA the game but he's a good one.
And he's fun of pep and fight,
that helps a lot. Over in Phil

Spark Plug and it's good name.

either. A lot of folks figure Nick
ID nothing but comedian. They're
wrong. He's q wise old fox and
he knows his baseball. guess
there's no better coach in the
league than Nick and he's got the
sort OF disposition that keeps
players from becoming discouraged.
I don't know what Clark Grit
fifth pays him, but IL he never did
anything but coach, he'd be worth
the money.
One other thing. That Is defense.
In Peckinpaugh, Harris and Judge,
Washington has about the best
doubIe-play outfit in baseball.
Everett Scott has been around
quite a while, and he says they're
his pick. OF course, don't know
how they stack UP with Evers and
Tinker and Chance, and maybe
they're not any better than Ban
croft, Frisch and Kelly were, but
they're good enough for me. And
Muddy Ruel is q better catcher than
he gets credit for. too.

What's Back of 1t?

DRESIDENT COOLIDGE has now gotten rid OF both
1 DENLY and Daugherty. The effect is good He
should have fired them long before he did,
But
Has Coolidge really strengthened himself in the minds
Of the really intelligent people of the country
Looking back the two incidents we cannot help
seeing these facts standing out above the political storm
Coolidge should have fired DENLY because DENLY
was unfit by of his connection with the oil leasing
Coolidge let it be understood that he fired DENLY
because he objected to the Shenandoah North Pole trip
which DENLY planned.
SCoolidge actually fired DENLY for political reasons
because pressure of politicians became too strong.
Now let's look at the Daugherty Analyze il, and
YOU find:
Coolidge should have fired Daugherty because he
was unfit ever to hold the job of attorney general
Coolidge let it be known that he fired Daugherty
because OF highly technical and not for unftnes
10 hold office
Coolidge actually fired Daugherty for political rea-
sons-because pressure of politicians became great
In neither instance did Coolidge act the facts.
In both he gave in after caor became too great
Neither act was courageous
The American people love a man who hits straight
from the shoulder Is Coolidge that kind of man? Has
he proved it in the DENLY and Daughery affairs? We
think not.
From all indications Cooidges efforts to date have
been conferred building political fences for him
self than on giving the public energetic frank and
unbiased expose Of the rotten Washington disclosures
