than Tunney-but he is going to
meet 4 tougher boy. I'm not boast

(BY BILLY EVANS)

Manager Bill Carrigan of the Bos-
ton Red Sox believes he has a second
Lee Meadows in Danny MacFayden.
MacFayden, by the way. is be-
specialized high school pitcher the
Boston club picked up last season.
He made his first big league start
against the great Walter johnson
last fall and turned in most
creditable performance.
Bill Carrigan is sincere when he
says he believes MacFayden has a
great chance. His style is not I'M
like that Of Lee Meadows. In many
ways the resemblance is quite
striking.
Until Lee Meadows convinced the
baseball sharps that a pair of spec
tacles was no handicap to a diamond
performer. major league managers
laughed at the very idea of a be-
specialized player having a chance
in fast company.
Meadows made his major league
debut in 1913 with the st. Louis Car
dinals. For short time he was re-
garded more in the light of a curl
osity than big Lacquer. However,
in a very short time he had i'm
pressed the opposing batters quite
to the contrary.
In his very first year he won IL
and lost II games with only $3.50
club. At the close of the season
he was a much talked about and
photographed young man.
That was Is years ago and Mead
ows is still going strong as mem
Der of the Pittsburgh Pirates. His
first seven starts OF the present sea-
son resulted in victories. giving him
the premier position among the ma
jor league twirlers.
The success Of Meadows made /,
possible for' the bespectacled player
to get trial. at least. Following
him came George Toporcer. an in
fielder. who Is in his seventh year
as member of the ST. Louis Car
dinals. Then came Carmen Hill, Il
and strangely. enough, he
also is with Pittsburgh. Late last
fall Danny MacFayden got his
chance. This spring. a southpaw by
the name Of Taber enrolled with the
Philadelphia Nationals
Like George Uhle, pitching ace OF
the Cleveland Indians. MacFayden
came to the majors with no profess
sional experience. The sandlots
preared Uhle. while MacFayden is
Il product of the prep school fields.
AS high school pitcher. Mac
fayden first gained fame because of
his strikeout feats. Seldom did he
work a game in which he failed to
set down at least a dozen on strikes
Several of his performances now
read more like fiction than reality.
AS a rule, these rookie stars are
picked up by some club other than
their home city. MacFayden was
the exception. for the Boston Red
Sox early tied him up in case he de-
aided to play professional baseball.
MacFayden is a right hander OF
ordinary size but Well put up. He |
has a great fast ball. It Is this one |
'sset that pleases Manager Carrigan
most. He believes his speed will
prove the foundation of a successful
career.
Under the r"sourceful Bill CARR
gan, great catcher in his day, Mac
'ayden is bettering his curve and
earning change of pace. He has
hown such rapid Improvement tina,
us manager now has enough CON
Id"hce IN his ability to start him.

The saving in space was brought

GERMAN farm
VOTE COVETED
BY POLITICIANS
Leaders Compete in Appeals
to Agricultural and
Land interests.

BERLIN, June 24.-Germany's
politicians are out to hold the farm
vote.
Seldom since establishment of the
German Republic have there been
heard such variety of appeals to
tllA agricultural interests and the
big land owners.
On one hand, one may hear a
political leader stressing the need
Of "anelioration of the agricultural
sifuation," while in another section
of the country leaders call for Gin
creased home production" and Gin
aependence from food imports"
Nationalist influence in the
present German cabinet is believed
10 be chiefly responsible for this
pOlitical trend. The nationalists
fundamentally are representative of
Fhe agrarians in general and of big
and owners in particular.
The food controller is the nation
