Rogers Hornsby with the St.

Here in st. Louis Hornsby is
already an idol. He has followed
an unpopular theorist, Branch
Hickey, and no sooner was he on
the job than the Cardinals began
to win some ball games. Natur-
ally, he gets credit for that, al
though it may be undeserving.
Wheat's success has not been

come out of Brooklyn to the eff

When the class of 1925 was

Crimson lost one Of the greatest
and most natural athletes in its
history.

the 1925 varsity baseball team

Hammond was the only Har-

of the great George Owen, who
ever won that number of let

three in baseball, and the same
number in hockey.

And the best proof of Just how
good a job they do IN St. Louis, is
the fact that this town has turned
out more big league ball players

Five in American.

THERE are five playing-man-
4 ayers in the American
League, led by Bucky Harris, of
the world champions. Detroit
has Ty Cobb; Cleveland, Iris
Speaker; Chicago, Eddie Collins,
and st. Louis, George Sisler.
While in Boston rumors were
heard that the Red Sox might
have playing-manager next sea
son supplanting the bench-warm-
ing Lee Foil, who has set no
worlds ablaze at Fenway Park.
President Veeck, of the Cubs,
says he wants a playing-manager,
being a strong admirer of Bucky
Harris. When Killefer went to
the Cubs he was a catcher. but
ne quickly gave up active play
ing when appointed manager in
1922, succeeding Johnny Evers.
He formed part of the famous
Alexander-Killefer battery, con-
sldered the best in the National
League for several years
The success of Harris has called
attention to the playing-manager,
though Speaker has long led his
own team in Cleveland, winning
a world title in 1920. 1t would
not be surprising to see one or
two more playing-managers ap-
pointed in the major leagues, espe-
cially if Bucky Harris is success
full for the second consecutive sea-
son,

If there Is any reason why Wills
a respectable citizen of New York
and a taxpayer, cannot practice
his art on Dempsey 1t should be
known. The responsibility should
be placed exactly where it belongs.
The time for the showdown Is
close at hand. BY an odd coin
cidence Dempsey sails from Cher
bourg for America on the same day
that Wills embarks on a trip to
Germany. Jack and Harry start in
opposite directions next Wednes-
day. Dempsey intends to spend
some time in New York before
filling some theatrical bookings in
the West
Kearns and Dempsey are not So
cially recognized by the boxing
commission. nor will they be until
the champion makes some definite
stand in regard to Wills. Before
Dempsey sailed last spring he
called on members of the commits
sion and chatted informally.
A. that time Tom Gibbons and
Gene Tunney were matched and
Wills had been programmed with
Charley Weinert for the Italian
Hospital fund show.
Dempsey declared that his plans
for this season would depend on
the outcome of those fights. He
intimated that he might be induced
to defend his title in September.
Anyhow, he would have something
to say when he came back.

Dempsey. This one seems to be
on the fire. Wills, the patient
plOdder, is passed up by Dempsey
again. There must be a reckon
ing some time. Dempsey should
be compelled to fight Wills or
declare that he is through with

Personally, we are of the opinion
that Dempsey did not fear Wills

who demonstrated against Weinert
that his knowledge Of boxing,
coupled with prodigious strength,
would make him a dangerous OPP
ponent for the champion.
Weinert weighed 1856 pounds and
was tossed around by Wills as If
he were a child. Dempseys fight
ing weight is only 100. He is
strong, but not as strong as the
magnificently muscled Wills. Demp-
sey, however, is a terrific body
puncher. He sinks a mean left
hook at short range. He might

sit is too late to stage a Demp-

pion has not had real scrap in
nearly two years. He would need
