Even in the present instance,
Gowdy's withdrawal Is not to be
COMPOUNDED with defeat. He leaves
the majors to better himself-and
at his own request. 1t Is the
writer's belief that he will be back.
Gowdy goes to Columbus (of the
American Associat.on), his home
town, as manager, in 1926. This
may be just the backstretch Of his
career. - 1t is easy to visualize him
returning as a, major league man
ager within a few years, for he has
every virtue of the good manager
and none Of his faults.
His popularity Is universal, his
disposition mild, his ethics beyond
reprOach. Gowdy never has been
known to swear. Neither is it
of record that he ever voiced
an unkind thought or that any
act of his was conceived with the
idea of working injury upon any.
one.
Yet he is not without an I'M
questioned dignity and everyone
respects him. Furthermore, he

Gowdy was the first ball player
to enlist for the war and his record
at the front was SO good that the
army dedicated a baseball field in
his name and honor at Columbus,
Ga, last spring. 1t was the army's
recognition of fighting man who
never admitted defeat until the
last returns were in.
BasebalFs recognition was much
earlier and just as sincere. It hap
pened in the 1914 world series, in
which the Boston Braves knocked
the Athletics off for four straight,
with Gowdy crowding one big mo.
ment upon another. Never great
hitter, he batted better than 500
for the series and nearly every hit
meant something.

first two games in Philadelphia,
