Bill Mcclellan Speaks

TILL MCCLELLAN, sports ed
itor of the New York Herald
- Tribune, takes his Underwood
to. task and this is what happens:
"Seeing the name of Jack Demp-
sey in the news on some subter-
fuge or other recalls the fact that
the New York State boxing COM
mission has a rule requiring a
champion to defend his title once
feverv six months under pain of
being declared null and void by
the commission.
V'How long has it been since
Jack Dempsey has defended the
title of heavyweight champion I?
Figure it out yourself. But has
the boxing commission taken steps
20 have Mr.. Dempsey declared null
and void, non compus mentis, or
anything else? Not so that it can
be noticed.
81 recall that the boxing COM
mission, after he took the title Of
featherweight champion, rushed
eugene Criqui, of France, into a
bout with Johnny Dundee before
poor Crioui could parade once in
Paris with the title. 1t almost
seemed that Criqui was discrim-
mated against because he was a
soldier.
eff the boxing commission
wishes to retain any semblance of
it's ducal dignity it should erase
this rule from its books. Either
this or admit that the rule does
not go for Dempsey"

n A NJ { LINEUP
To OPPOSE
BEARS
DR.. Hegarty and Stern Have
Gathered Formidable
Array Of Stars

Doctor Jack Hegarty, football
coach, who has been given the job
of forming a team In double quick
time to give battle to Red Grange
and the Chicago Bears here next
Tuesday, today announced tenta-
tive lineup.
In the backfieId he win have
Halves, formerly Of Dartmouth, now
with the Philadelphia Yellowjaclkets;
Ira Mckee, who won football and
all-around athletic fame at the
Naval Academy; Roy Mackert, or
the champion Waterbury team, who
is one of the seasons outstanding
professional players, and Piggy
DuFour, who played at Georgetown
University, Catholic University and
is now the Mohawk's quarterback.
Ed Lynch, a former Catholic Uni
versity star, who later shone for
the Mohawks, will play an end and
on the other flank will be either
Don Childress, a former Central
High player, who later made his
mark at West Virginia Wesleyan
and now is a. Mohawk regular, or
Red Williams, who starred at Clark
son College.
In the tackles will be tSecrist, of
the Philadelphia Yellowjackets, and
Van Meter, of the Mohawks. The
guards likely will be Nick Busch, of
the Mercury Club, who formerly
strutted for Georgetown, and Chief
Burns, the powerful Mohawk.
Irving Deakins, the Mohawk cap
tain, or Dutch Eberts, ex-Catholic
University crack, will perform at
center. AL Stern, promoter of the
game, is trying to coax the former
West Point star, Lieutenant Ed Gar
bisch, to play center, and should
Lieutenant Garbisch come into the
fold the Washington team would
be dangerous whenever within range
of the goal bar, for Lieutenant Gar
bisch is distinguished by his ability
to boot dropkicks.
With these players, Doctor
Hegarty and Stern believe that
Washington will make it an inter-
esting day for the Chicago Bears
and Grange. Every man jack of
the Washington team has proved
his worth as a football expert. The
Bears great advantage, Of course,
will be their teamwork.
Ira Mckee is among those who
believe the Chicago Bears will en-
counter formidable opposition.
"I honestly believe" he said to-
day, and quite enthusiastically,
"that We'll give the Bears real
battle"

MeuseI Uncrowns Goose as
King of Timely
Hitters
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER
Shorts Editor. The Times

Goose Goslin led the American
League for 1924 by driving in
129 runs. That mark would have
tied him for third place with al
Simmons during the last season.
Bob Meusel, the lanky left fielder
Of the New York Yankees, is king
Of the run-getters for 1926 with
the responsibility for 1S8 runs.
Harry Heilman, the batting
champion, drove in 1873 tallies,
landing in second place, with Al
Simmons, of the Mackmen, run
ming along third by driving in
129 runs. Goslin comes fourth
with 11S, two more than Shelly
was bringing over for the White
Sox.
The Washington Griffs scored
$50 runs during their rush to a
second successive championship and
Of that total $50, or almost three
9ourths, were brought over through
the efforts of Goslin, Rice, Bluege,
Bucly Harris, Joe Judge, Peck,
Joe Harris and Muddy Ruel.

HARDEST Of Germany, today entered
protest against the playing Of
return match for the champion

asserted that he already had a

In protesting a decision Of the

Washington is no different from
other cities in having these unfor-
tunate folks who never see any
thing in what the other fellow is
doing. In some sections of the
country caution develops so greatly
that practically nothing is at
tempted. On the other hand, in
other sections dreams and visions
develop so greatly that wonderful
things are done. Today, for in
stance, dreams and visions are
making a garden out of Flori6 a,

About The Huddle
TT ERE is a brief sports edi-
torial on the huddle in foot
- ball, turned loose upon a
waiting world by Ed w. Smith,
sports editor of Mr.. Hearst's Chi
cago Evening American:
"There is a chance that the
present system of budding In the
matter of giving signals just be-
fore the next play is to be sprung
may have won many a game and
it may be a good thing in the
matter of deception. But at all
of the professional football games
this year there has been a strong
sentiment against the practice.
"Most of the pro fans favor a
return to the old style of lining up
and giving a good, lusty call of
the captains signals. Many of
the fans claim this is one of the
most spectacular and interesting
features of the game and that the
huddle system takes it completely
out of existence.
at would appear after looking
over the matter with some care
that the huddlers waste a lot Of
time. Even after they have been
in their precinct caucuses they
spend just as much time as ever
in getting into their positions to
face the enemy.
"When a team is opened up
like a fan, either defensively or
on the offense, there is plenty of
excitement in the whole thing.
While one is waiting for the hud-
die to be complete and the OPP
posing team is standing about in
idle expectancy, the spectators are
getting colder and wetter and
hungrier and thirstier, as the
thousands of cases may be.
"The player is able to keep
himself warm with his activity.
A cold concrete grandstand is
merciless. Is the huddle really
necessary or important part of
the whole scheme ?"
