At the time 1t was rumored Higgins
traded him because Of the fact that
he believed Peck was out of sorts
because of his failure to be named
manager.
When George Mcbride resigned at
Washington, Peckinpaugh was the
unanimous choice of the critics for
the Job. Owner Griffith surprised them
by naming DOME Bush. Later, when
Bush was released, Stanley Harris
was named over Peckinpaugh.
His tough luck continued last sea-
son. The Washington club having
decided young blood was necessary
kept Peckinpaugh on the bench, while
Harris experimental with Buddy
Myers at short.
In the middle of the season the
Washington club asked for waivers
on Peck. New York and Chicago re-
fused In the American, also Cincin-
natl in the National.
Cincinnati was willing to turn over
$4,000 for Peck, also satisfy him on
the salary question. Had the Reds
been able to secure him that club
would have cut In on the series money.
The breaks have certainly been 60
ing against Peckinpaugh. aside from
his being the goat of the 1925 world
series.

MANAGERIAL JOB
FOR PECKINPAUGH
Two Clubs in the American
League Want Him.

Roger Peckinpaugh, veteran star OF
the American league, about through as
a regular player, is being prominently
mentioned as managerial possibility.
1t has been limited that he might be
placed In charge Of two different clubs
In the American league.
Peckinpaugh, one of the games
smartest players, has had most tenn
pestuous career as far as his manage
rial aspirations are concerned.
1t will be recalled that when Frank
Chance resigned as manager of the
Yankees some years back, Peckinpaugh
was appointed to finish the season and
did an excellent job.
He was regarded as almost certain
to get the position when the New York
club went over to the National league
and signed up Miller Higgins. Later
he was sent to Washington in trade.

This is little more difficult to mold.

greatly relished food among the Eski-

through the clean feathers into the
firm meat of the breast. A hungry
Eskimo, 1t is said, will eat as many as
100 little auks at one sitting. This
would be more than could be crowded

live mainly on shrimp, and their meat
is said to be very palatable. They lay
their eggs among the rocks, to protect
them from enemies.
