Why Leonard LOafs

A WASHINGTON fan inquiries
~ why Dutch Leonard, one of
the leading pitchers of the
league, is absent from the Detroit
lineup. He insinuates that Ty
Cobb does not care to use him for
personal reasons, asking for in
formation in this column.
Dutch Leonard got away to a
good start and hung up his excel
lent record in mid-season. The
exertion brought a certain dead
ness to his arm. Late in July he
was advised to take a long rest
if he would be in shape for the
1926 campaign. That is what he
is doing, resting his salary arm in
the hopes of saving it. Ty Cobb
would use him in a minute, were
it wise.

Yet. six months ago this same
McInnis was cast aside as being
worn out and worthless. and that,
too. by a hopeIessly tail-end club.
The Boston Braves gave him an
unconditional release last spring and
sympathetic pieces were written
about veteran who at last had
come to the end Of his string.
NcInnis read the pieces, declared
the scribes were kindly but mis-
taken, and stuck out his chin.
He looked for another major
league lob. IL wasn't the first
time that Stuffy McInnis had
been turned out as worthless. In
1918 the Philadelphia Athletics
presented him to the Boston Red
Sox. Nothing in the way OF COM
pensatiOn was announced when
the transfer was made.
And Stuffy, undiscouraged by Con-
ME Mack,s apparent low regard Tor
him, did one mans full share IN
winning a pennant that year Tor the
Red Sox.
Three years later. or in 1921. the
Red Sox sent him to Cleveland in
a deal for Joe Harris and Elmer
Smith. The Indians used him regu-
lariy in 1922 and then released him
outright. Stuffy was supposed to
be done for keeps as a major
Lacquer.
There. were many minor league
berths he could fill. but Stuffy felt
that he was still good enough for
the bie show. He hung on with
the lowly Boston Braves in 1928.
It was the next thing to being in
the bushes. yet far from it.

The Dixies, Hartford's famed Plying Pentagon," upheld Conncc- ticut's honor last night in the first round Of the national amateur bas- ketball tourney at Kansas City, Mo-. by defeating the Platt college five, 2l-l6, in a slow and uninteresting game. The DiXies played cautiously and carefully held their full speed in reserve. Abe Silyerman startd the scoring with a foul and a field goal and the DIxes moved slowly into lS-O lead, which they held until just before the half closed. when Platt counted four points. In the second half the Hartford speed boys stuck to the defense and maintained their margin 10 pull out ahead at 21-16.
 Captain Tommy Murphy led the Dixie scoring with four field goals and Q free shot. Abe Silverman showed no partiality and tossed in a pair of each variety. Bobby Half ner chalked up two field goals and Bill Hofferth made one. Wardy Waterman, the other Hartford boy in the game, did not score. IIafner also showed pretty guarding by keeping

SMITH BUSINESS IN
 AN EASY WALKOYER
Takes Fourth Straight in Prancing to Victory Over Pinard's Mys-
 tcry Five by 39-6 Score

Pinard's Mystery Five proved no mystery to the Smith Business Col lcge yesterday afternoon, for the business college lads solved the mystery defense with case and ran up S9-6 score. Maiorano, the diminutive star forward of the vic- tors, proved the chief slcuth in unravellng the mystery" and Shcr- lock Holmes himself had nothing on this lad, who piled up more than twice the total made by the losers. Santy proved his right-hand man and also double the mystery score. Mozooki outsCored the losers and Cote very nearly equallcd their to- tai. The biggest mystery about the mystery" boys was how they thought themselves in a class to play the Smith outfit.
 Moozooki sank a sucker shot all most as soon as the whistle sounded and the winners proceeded to roll up nine baskets in rapid order, the mystery" boys counting once before the end of the half. The score con- tnued 10 grow in the second half, and the final whistle left the busi- ness college lads with their fourth straight victory. The score:
