"Mr. E. B. Eynon, jr.,
Washington Baseball Club.
Dear sir:
Although l have been confined
to my bed for the past five weeks
on account of an injured knee, ]
have been following your team
by radio. ! am fully convinced
that Washington will again have
a world series this. fall and / wish
to make application for eight box
seats (four seats each for Fred
and Gus Buchholz) for the world
series this fall.
philadelphia has a slight edge
on our team at present but they
will not be able to keep up to the
pace you are setting. In fact, l
am so sure that you will pass
them that / am making up my
menu for the banquet to your
team again this fall when they
bring home the bacon.
Trusting that you are in the
best of health and with my best
wishes, am
Every truly yours,
(Signed) "GUS BUCHHOLZ,
"Hotel Occidental"
That was on Saturday, June s..
The next day, probably superin-
duced by the terrific heat, that
brave heart suddenly cracked and
quit. A courageous spirit was on
it's way over new trails; Gus
Buchholz was no more in this life.
For weeks Gus had tossed and
turned in that bed Of torture.
Each afternoon he would turn on
his radio and follow the cham
pions as they battled the teams
in the West and, though unknow-
ingly he was approaching the end
Of his course, he followed them to
New York, trying to forget that
burning coal in his knee.
This writer knew Gus Buch-
holz we'll for more than ten years
and respected him for what he
was, an honest, Wnole-Souleu gen
tleman with the courage of his
convictions.
That his spirit was strong is
shown by his ability to forget
that pain in his knee and the dis
comfort of the bedridden to con-
slider a menu of a banquet he
would tender the Washington team
on its second world series triumph
next October.
There was no quitting in Gus
Buchholz. Just read the accom-
panying letter over again. Just
recall that it was dictated from
bed of pain and suffering and
that the man who signed it passed
on to his final reward the follow
ing day. That was Gus Buch-
holZ.

I guess Bucky Harris is about

Bucky. since it was these same

n that the new kids in the majors
are making good. There doesn t
seem to be any buffers IN the
whole lot.
Fellows like Combs and Gehrig
and Paschal, with New York, ana
chaps like Cochran, OF the Atm
letics, and Robertson, OF the
Browns, are real ball players right
now. And the chances are they
could make a regular berth on most
any club in the league.
The National League Is about
the same way. They've got lot
Of kids breaking into regular Jobs
there this year-and good ones,
Zoo. II McGraw and fellows like
that are any judges.
The Pirates have got three OF
four young players. the Giants
have as many. and all the other
teams are stringing in with several
each. 1t certainly does look as
though 1925 would be big year
for kids in the major leagues.
guess McGraw wasn't far wrong
when he told me a few weeks ago
that kids would win the major
league pennants this year.
That's one Of the things which
makes the race a tough one to

there you knew just about what
every man would do, and what
could be expected of him during
the season. But with the young
sters it's different You don't
know how they can hit or how they
can field, or how they will hold
up when the going gets tough at
the end Of the season.
Personally, I've got a bunch that
q lot OF them win be replaced by
the old-timers along in August. Not
because they haven't got the stuff.
but simply because they don't
know what it's all about and can't
stand the tough race along at the
flag end of the season.
You know when the race gets
tight a manager likes to have fel
lows in there whom he knows he cen

q little less speed, and a little more

Maybe the kids win come

ing youngster, even though that
kid may be the chap who beats him

thing about ball players. They
don't get sore at competition and
they're always glad to see the kids

After all, it's this competition that
