BY BILLY EVANS

Just five years ago at this time,
Hod Eller, then star pitcher of the
Cincinnati Reds, world champs, was
basebalI's greatest hero.
Eller was basking in the limelirht
that is now being turned on Walter
Johnson for his great comeback in
the final game of the series with the
Giants.
Today Hod Eller is patrolling II
beat in Indianapolis, II truSty Off
GER of the law in that fair city.
Baseball fame is flecting and the
hero worship that was once Eller's
has entirely faded out. He is no
longer a world series hero, just Hod
Eller, pitcher for the old home town
in the summer, officer of the law in
the winter.
In the fifth game of the 1919 world
series Eller became the outstanding
player of the year by most remark
able exhibition of pitching
Struck Out Nine Men
The big right handler shut out the
Chicago White SoX so, allowing only
three hits, two of them by Buck
Weaver. He struck, out nine men.

limited that Eller was trick pitcher,
that he doctored the ball. Since

and which mortgage was dated
March 14th, 1917, and filed for rec

Of Deeds in and for Burleigh Coun-

1921, at 8 o'clock A. NJ. and duly
recorded in Book III of Mortgages,

1t might be interesting to know
that in striking out six successive
batters, Eller didn't use single
curve ball
Every strike was fast ball that
was either struck at and missed or
called. If | remember correctly Just
one ball was fouled by Eddie Collins
OF the six men who faced Eller.
Prior to each pitch | noticed that
Eller WoulA rub the ball across his
breast 1t was also apparent that he
might have something under the shirt
OF his uniform, as there was Il white
spot on his left side about the size
Of football across which he would
draw the ball.
have since heard from National
League players that Eller had u por-
tion of his shirt saturated with re-
sin and in rubbing the ball over his
shirt he drew the ball over the resin
prior TO each pitch. This enabled
him to roughen the ball, get better
grip on it, causing the ball to take
Il more deceptive break.
Hero OF The Hour
| cannot vouch for the authenticity
Of such a statement although some
members of the Cincinnati club later
told me the story, as we'll as other
National Leagucrs.
Eller, to cap the climax of the SER
les, pitched the final game, winning
10-o. With a nine-run margin he
eased up in the eighth inning, Chi
cago scoring four runs.
The brass band welcomed Eller at
the station on his return to Cincin-
natl. He was the hero of the event.
That was just five years ago. Now
Eller has been forgotten by major
ity of big league fans.
He's just a policeman, but appar-
entity mighty good one. His first
time out he assisted in capturing a
daring desperado, with just as much
ease as he took the Chicago White
SoX in 1919.

SAYS

Connie Mack is responsible fol
starting more big league ball play
ers than any two other managers in
the majors.
Mack doesn't always keep his try
outs, but nevertheless he is the man
responsible for the opportunity
Practically every major league club
+ has one or more one-time Mack re
cruits in its lineup
Stanley Coveleskie, recently trad
ed by Cleveland to Washington, got
his start with Mack He was with
the Athletics back in 1912, winning
two and losing one in Il fall tryout.
This fact is not generally known.
Sent back to the coast for more
experience, he tarried there until
1915, when he was secured by Cleve-
land. He has been with the Indians
ever since, nine years.
Coveleskie, by the way, is one of
the few pitchers to win three ball
games in world series. He turned
the trick in 1920 against Brooklyn.
Every year is a tough one for golf
champions. Walter Hagen is one of
the few title holders who always
manages to win some kind of a
championship regardless of the stiff
competition.
Glenna Collett was the only cham
pion, however, to retain title won
repeat in the Canadian event for
women.
Hagen, who year after year CON
tinues to be the outstanding figure
in the golfing world had big sea
son in 1924. He won the British
open for the second time in three
years and the professional golfers
championship.
The big disappointment of the
year in golf was Gene Sarazen. He
just couldn't get going. Second in
the Canadian open was Sarazens
best effort Of the year. He was sell
dom in the money.
Pro golfers say that lack of prac-
tice, the very thing that made Sar-
azen a champion, has proved his un-
doing.
Too much hero worship, with a
consequent drain on his available
working time, has no doubt serious
ly affected Sarazen's play. 1t is
doubtful if ever player was more
llonized after winning an open cham
Mr. h,n
The showing of Man o Wars get
last season has proved his success
as sire
The racing game owes much to
Samuel Riddle, owner of Man O.
War for retiring the champion as
three-year- old, rather than COM
mercialzing on his great speed and
racing qualities.
Seven of Man o. Wars eight two
year-old sons won IL races. First
Mtae was the only one of Man O.
Wars progeny that failed to win
race.
Turf experts regard American
Flag as the most likely of the lot,
although BY Hisself has many ad-
mirers.
Mr.. Riddle says the seat of speed
is In the brain. He regards Man O.
War as the most intelligent horse
he ever saw.
While highly flattered at the great
showing of the champions get, Mr..
Riddle is positive that Man O. War
will some day sire a horse the equal
of himself.

his motto. When the mill workers in
New England are compelled to accept
a reduction of 10 per cent on their al

the bourgeois press sugars the re-

This should be salutary example
to the class conscious worker. One
must discount heavily all the optim-

bourgeois editors to stifle the grow

1t is noteworthy that especially
during periods of industrial stagnation
our captains of industry and finance
assume the mantle of prophets and
begin broadcasting news" about i'm
minent revivals of trade, cheerful out
looks for business and properties
at hand. Now when these captains
talk like that it is a safe wager that
there is something rotten in Den
mark. And the curious thing about
it is that they know it. We quote the
following from the Annalist Of Janu-
airy, IL, 1925:
1T is highly desirable in the in
terest of business itself and of the
general welfare that this stock taking
yearly inventories) should be ex-
tended beyond the lists of material
goods on the shelves. The mental
attitude of the business man toward
the conduct Of his business is an i'm
nortant part of his inventory, and
there is evidence that a good many
mental shelves are cluttered with OPP
timistic rubbish which ought to be
cleared out and written off before the
years campaign is launched"
To get the real significance of the
above paragraph, it is necessary to
bear in mind that the Annalist is not
a popular bourgeois organ. 1t is pub
lished primarily for the information of
business executives, both industrial
and financial. It's circulation is insig-
nificant but for the fact that it is
Iread and studied by those individuals
in the community whose positions col
lectively is of enormous Importance in
the business world.
Hence all these rosy reports issued
by Judge Gary about the imminent
revival Of production are to be taken
for nothing but Optimistic rubbish"
Judge Gary is not fool. He knows
what he is about. His broadcasting is
not aimed at the business men. 1t is
for the consumption of the dear old
public. In times of unemployment
