MAKES GREAT TEAMS
BY RECITING HISTORY

SOUTH BEND. Ind. October 24-
Recite little of Notre Dame foot ball
history, throw the players a ball, and.
presto, another great gridiron eleven is
developed
That is Athletic Director Knute
Rocknes own version of the way the
great eieVens from the local university
are obtained. The Notre Dame aRprees-
tlon IS en- route East. where on Satur-
DAY IT Will play Princeton.
Discussing Notre Dame foot hall
eleVens In general just before his de-
parture for the East, Rockne said that
ten years ago, when he first started
coacning, the team was enjoying great
success. and he used to throw out his
chest and think he was quite a coach.
i have learned differently since" he
continued. Il find that the best wav to
make the men play the game as Notre
Dame men are expected to play 1t is to
tel them or Notre DANES achievements
IN the past. All myself or any one else
at Notre Dame needs to do to make
great team is to go out on the field

Those men exhibited selfishness and
short sightedness of the worst kind
They took 1t for granted that they
were the only persons interested in
the beautiful herons! and that they
were theirs to destroy or let live as
they saw fit. And they saw At to kill
them.
This attitude that all the birds and
animals of the woods are the private
property Of the sportsmen is a fallacy
on its face. Blue herons are one of
the most beautiful birds OF the woods.
and are of great interest to all who
see them, not only because of this but
because they are SO large, and are so
graceful in form and manner, and so
symbolic Of the big wild birds of a
vanishing wilderness.
Drifting down any lowland river,
you can pass many of these birds
except in sections ruled by such
sportsmen as the above-slowly wad-
ing along the sedges, or taking wing
in their big. slow way, to fly over
with trailing legs and curved neck,
like the storks of Europe
These birds do eat fish. But, they
eat small fish. and they eat compare
lively few fish. A thousand herons
in one season perhaps eat up as many
game fish as are destroyed by the
waste from single small factory, for

WRONG" SAYS DOLAN

NEW YORK, October 24.-For the
hrst time since his disbarment from
base ball on the charge Of having
helped Jimmy O'Connell to offer a
5000 bribe to Heinie Sand of the Phil
lies, Cozy Dolan yesterday told his
side of the story in detail To base
ball writers in the office Of William ].
Fallon, his attorney, Dolan re-enacted
the incidents before and during his
three hearings before Commissioner
kenesaw NJ Lands and recited again
what he claims was his testimony at
the examinations in the Waldorf-As-
toria.
At no time in the interview was
there any sensational revelations. Do
Ian denied the truth of Judge Lands
version of what happened at the
hearings, denied that he had only
said. Il don't remember" in answer
to direct questions, and asserted with
emphasis that he had told the COM
missioner he was innocent of the
charges and knew nothing of an al
legged attempt to bribe Sand to throw
game to the Giants.
In fact, Dolan said, he was so en-
phatic in his protestations of inno-
cence that he had violent scene
with Commissioner Lands, in which
the former jurist, according to Dolan,
shouted, I'm an old man, but / think
l can still take care of myself if you
have come down here to start a
fight"
Dolan included the name of John
McGraw in his narration when he
said that he had told McGraw and
Charles A. Stoneham, president of the
Giants. in the presence of the COM
missioner, that he didn't know a
thing about this
Dolan's version varied sharply from
that of Judge Landis. The commits
sioner declared that when he asked
Cozy whether he had talked with
OConnell and suggested the bribe of
fer, Dolan had answered three times,
II don't remember" On the other
hand, Dolan asserts that his answer
was Il don't remember such an Incl
dent" or Il don't remember such a
conversation" Between the two an
swers, of course, there is a difference
and 1t is on this rock that the two
versions split.
Dolan denied heatedly that at any
time he had replied: II don't remem-
ber." He said that his answers had
always been either a direct denial of
the charge or the equivalent of such
a denial.
Step by step he led his listeners
through all the incidents of the case,
beginning with his original summons
to Lands suite in the Waldorf, pass
ing through the first hearing and the
incidents that night, then re-enacting
the developments at the second hear
ing and his suspension that night. AS
a climax he set forth his version of
the third hearing, during the world
series, when the commissioner and
coach are said to have waxed stormy.
After Dolan had been questioned
for an hour, Fallon declared he would
press his efforts to clear Dolan, re-
store him to good standing in base
ball and obtain for him his share OF
the world series money. He said he
expected to file papers within three
or four days.

American teams. Wheat is given no
place on any of them. although Math-
ewson does pick him for his second
team, giving as his reason the Brook
lNn stars hitting. but declaring that
his arm is not so good as il once was
and his handling of ground balls not
quite up to firSt-StrinS qualifications
Babe Ruth selected Cuyler as his
All-American right fielder. not only
excluding Young of New York twho
was voted the best in the position in
the National League. and who, unlike
Cuyler, plays the position regularity
but also Wheat who, like Cuyler, is
a left fielder
National League players give the
edge to Wheat not only because of
tine defensive qualifications but be-
cause he is a heavy hitter and one
that delivers in the pinches-a real
cleanup man. Cuyler is faster
base runner and has scored more
runs this season.

Greatest Play 1 Ever Saw.
The best play I ever saw was made
by w. c. Fownes, jr. former national
champion from Pittsburgh. during the
1920 national amateur tournament at
the Engineers Club, Rosslyn, l.. |.
It came during the second round
and Fownes and | were opponents.
Reaching the turn he was leading me
z up, but then 1 began to pick up on
him and soon had strong hopes of
gaining the lead. These hopes were
augmented when, on reaching the
18th hole, he hooked his drive into
rough and behind some tall trees,
while 1 put my ball straight ahead.
I was in easy position to reach the
green in 2, so that ] appeared to have
a fine chance to take the hole. This
would leave me only l down and,

lie was in deep grass. Third, the trees

an excellent chance that he might
drop in a brook that ran through the
hazard. Fifth, this selfsame brook
gurgled around three sides of the
green, which was set in the side of a

slippery and sloped downward away
from him.

900 HEADPHONES
 PUT ON ONE SET
 AT BIG HOSPITAL
Patients At Walter Reed All Have Access To
 Concerts

A real radio central" just like a regular telephone central, is now in operation at the Walter Reed hospital in Washington. Hundreds of patients are entertained daily with song and story over the radio.
 To this radio central" are connected 900 sets of headphones and five loud speakers.
 Disabled war veterans find their hours of pain passing easily under the soothing influence of music from the ether.
 Signals from local and distant sta- tions are received in the control room on a five-tube -Eisermann neutro- dyne receiver and amplified by Western Electric apparatus, which also controls the loud-speaker system. The sets were installed by popular subscription to pro- vide music to .he sufferers in hospitals in many sections who otherwise would be deprived of this solace and inspira- tion.
 The installation is unique. There is nothing like it elsewhere. Thousands of feet of wire are required to connect up the individual receivers with the main control. The entire room is given over to the equipment, with a duplicate Freed Eisemann set, A and B bat teries and whole string of chargers to keep the l.atteries in good condition.
 The officers and doctors in charge of "radE central at Walter Reed hos pital testify to the tremendous value of the service rendered by radio.
