Clyde "Zeb'' Milan is coming
back to the GriffS. He will be a
coach of the base runners and the
: 0utfielders, replacing Jack Onslow,
who coached the young pitchers
last year with fair success. Bucky
Harris has engineered the return Of
Milan who ranked a close second to
Walter Johnson IN popularity
among Washington fans for many
years.
Milan wound up three.year term
as manager of the Memphis team
in the Southern Association in Sep
tember. Though winning no pen
nants with the Chicks, he had fair
success and developed many young
players, among them being Lizzie
Lisenbee, now with the Washington
club.
''Milan comes to teach our
young OutffelderS how to field
and s1l Of our base runners how
to run bases" explained Pres.
ident Griffith today. Five
years as q manager in the
minors should have fitted him
for handling those players put
under his care. Yes, and /
doubt II we could find q better
teacher for the runners and the
Outfielders. He was q wonder
himself in his best days here"
The Linden Flyer" as Milan
was called for many a year, was
bought by the Washington club
from Wichita in the Western As
sociation in the summer OF 1907,
thus coming to the Capital about
the same time as Walter johnson.
They became the best Of friends
and were roommates so long as
they remained together.
In 1907 Milan got into 4S games,
hitting for .279. Not till 1911 did
he succeed in reaching the 300
mark, but in 1910 he flashed to the
front with a. stolen bases and from
that time on was one of the best
base runners in the game.
In 1911 he stole So bases and the
following year, Clark Griffith's first
in the Capital, he won the league
championship with 80 stolen sacks.
That was the record till 1915, when
Ty Cobb. one of Milan's closest
friends, pilfered 80 bases.
Milan was a fine lead-off bats
man, having an uncanny way of
reaching first base. Once there he
was a whippet.I Every pitcher in
the. league felt better when he was
erased, for he was jumping pest
On the paths.
In 1922 he was manager Of
the Washington club, succeed.
ing George Mcbride. He did
mot live up to expectations, and
50 gave way to DOME Bush.
He managed the New Haven
club in 1924 and 1925, and then
went to Memphis where he has
been since.
Milan was born in Linden. Tenn,
on March 25, 1887. and SO will
celebrate his fortieth birthday at
Tampa next spring. Washington
fans are sure to give him noisy
welcome when he trots out upon
the field. for only Walter johnson
has been more popular here.
President Griffith, Secretary Eynon
and Manager Harris are going to
New York next Monday to attend
the meeting of the big league mo-
guls. The American League will
hold sessions on Tuesday and We'd
nesday and then go into joint
meeting with the National League
on Thursday, December 10.

Tunney was hurt-and hurt
plenty-when he went down.

The position of Tunney on the
floor seems to be proof conclusive
in the minds of impartial ring ex-
perts, that Tunney was temporarily
paralyzed. For when he collapsed,
his left arm flooped over the rope.
Don't get the idea he was holding
onto the rope then. He was too
completely out. His arm was
draped over the strand in helpless
fashion-and so 1t remained for
many, many seconds.
None who have seen the moving
or still pictures of that fight and
noticed the position of Tunney's
legs during the first TEN SEC.
| ONDS that he was on the floor,
take the viewpoint that there was
enough life in those legs up to
that time to enable Tunney to climb
back to his feet.
Tunney was OUT COMPLETELY
for TEN SCEONDS-and more.
/ Between the time that Tunney
hit the floor and when Referee
Dave Barry actually started his
count, a matter of at least six sec.
onds had elapsed. AS Barry's arm
went up and DOWN over Tunney,
watched Tunney closely; studied
him to learn what shape ne was in
--and what chance had of making
a recovery ard getting UP.
Through the IA years that I've
ieen in this fight racket. I've had
quite a few men on the floor. +
dent poseas an expert in the mat.
ter OF how badly thai fellow is hurt,
but l believe that l know / can size
Ip a fallen mans chances pretty
WELL
l felt, as I watched Tunney, that
even wit nthe help Of those six sec.
onds that the charitable Barry had
given him. the chances were slim
that Tunney could recover in time
TO beat Barrv's count.
It was not until Barry had
reached his Eerson al count of SIX"
which was about IL seconds afte-
Tunnev went down. that look Of
intelligence came back to Tunney's
eyes. At the count Of Seven" he
seemed to be trying to collect his
senses and at Eight he was doing
! the same thing. AS the pictures
will show. Tunney had not made
any definite effort to arise with the
count of Eight" and was not really
ON his way to his feet until Barry
! was about sounding Mine"
II Tunney could have climbed
back to his feet as soon as he
. went down, I'll say that he took
!, the widest chance any ringman
ever took in all history when he
delayed making a real motion to
get up until the count Of "nine."
Tunney Is smart fighter, and
because he is just that. feel that
any story that deals with his abil-
ity to get up at the count of 'one"
or at the unofficial count Of "ten'
or twelve" in that fight, is COM
pletely discounted by the position
he was in UP to the time that the

doubt very much whether Tun.
ney ever made such a statement:
I doubt It very much because
Tunney Is not a humorist.
When Tunney went down In that
seventh round. he went down in
state of collapse. The two left
hand punches to his chin. plus
the right hand drive, certainly had
enough power in them to drop any
living human. And. in fairness to
Tunney's ability to take a beating,
