Three Things Favor
Nays Chances
This Fall

Jack Owsley should turn out
d powerful eleven at Annapolis
this season. In the first place
Owsley IS d dynamic coach and
in the second place he will have
quite q bit Of good and sea-
soned material. Still d third
reason is that FoIwelI was =
good coach and what players he
has left behind will be well
drilled in fundamentals.
There is plenty Of mass avail
able and OWsley probably will
supply the velocity. Not only
were he and Mallory probably
the finest defensive backs that
Yale has turned out in modern
times, but he was always noted
as one Of the gamest Of grid
iron players. He entered his.
last battle against Harvard
with water on both knees, and
lasted through it. Later he
coached Tom Shevlin's eleven.
Recently he has been one Of the
staff Of coaches under Tad
Jones.

The Pirates, with a few excep.
tons, are a young team. MAJ
Carey, IS thirtysffve years old
though hisaaspeed qis o1such as to
belle his years. fI
Babe Adams is forty-one years
old, marvel If ever there was
one. He is filling relief roles
now and has won five and lost
four games, pretty good work fol-
grandpop.
Tom Sheehan is more than
thirty years old. He was once
with Connie Mack, going back to
the minors, where he blossomed
forth as winner in the Ameri-
can Association. The Cincinnati
Reds took a chance with him in
1924 and he was not successful,
The Pirates now have him pitch
ing good bali, though he does
not work often.
Lee Meadows, the bespectacled
pitcher, is thirty -one years old
yet he is the teams big winner
fourteen victories to but six de-
feats. Meadows is a curve ball
pitcher of the old school.
Though his. major league ex-
perience is not lengthy, Vic Aid
ridge is also thirty-one years of
age. He follows Meadows in eff
ficiency, closely pursued by Kre-
mer, minor league veteran.
Only Yde is a youngster, yet
he is big winner. He got away
to poor start, but during the
summer has been rapidly over
hauling the leading pitchers in
the old league and may yet finish
on top.
Stuffy McInnis, who plays first
base when opposing southpaw
pitching, is worn-out American
Lacquer, but he is the only in
fielder in the veterans class. Max
Carey is the lone outfieIder with
long record behind him.
Behind the bat is "Oil'' Smith,
once with the Giants. He is a
fiery gentleman of twenty-eight.
He joined the Giants in 1909 and
so has plenty of experience, even
though not yet thirty.
The Pirates may be said to have
veteran pitching staff, quite as
much so as the world champions.
In almost every other department,
though, they are a young team,
and who can tell how they will
stand up under the strain of a
torrid September

TOMMY TAYLOR WALLoPs
BALL IN MINOR LEAGUE

Tommy Taylor. who had a brief
and unsatisfactory trial with the
Griffmen last season, Is hitting
fool for the Memphis Chicks this
season. In ninety-three games he
is hitting for .349, going to bat 36l
times and cracking out 126 safe
slams. Taylor is playing third base
for Memphis and some major
league scouts have been on his
trail for weeks.
The Washington times., 1925-08-11

He may be the big angel Tor a

may be the big boob from Burleith

Do you want to know the lead
ing players In their respective
positions, SO far as this contest
about the way the fans place
them i'm point of popularity as
far as Skillet" can find:
Rommel and CoveIeskie are re.
ceiving the greatest call for the
pitching assignments. Ruel is un.
luestionably the most liked catcher
in either league, although Cochrane
is receiving plenty of support
George Sisler is far and away the
most admired first baseman and
Rogers Hornsby is making a run
away race OF it at second, with
even the great Eddie Collins giving
him little trouble.
Glen Wright, or the Pirates, mas
the shortstop position ali by him
self. If fans in the contest know
what they are talking about and
Bluege certainly is cutting wide
swath in the. matter of effective
ness around third base. In the
outfield, the fans can't forget Cobb
and Speaker for two positions while
Cuyler is almost unanimous for the
third.
OF course. those selections don I
mean anything as far as Ruthis
team itself is concerned, for fans
have learned that Ruth has his
own way of determining who's who
in baseball. But 1t is kind of a
key to the way the wind is blow.

Most baseball judges believe Phil
Todt, the Red Sox firstsacker, a
conner. Playing his first season al
first base, having been an out
fielder, his fielding is frequently
brilliant and generally steady. He
is hitting for .292, with nine nome

Ends Should Re Gond

~ ORGETOWN'S ends this sea-
IVT son should be good, if expert
coaching means anything.
Appointing Herbert Kopf, of Wash
ington and Jefferson, to the Blue
and Gray coaching staff means
that the end candidates will hardly
lack wise instruction.
Kopf ranked with the best ends
in the country while playing with
the strong w. and j. elevens. He
was wonderful defensive end and
brilliant receiver of forward
passes. Until severely injured in
his final year on the gridiron he
was an iron man.
Then don't forget that Bill
