BACK TO MINORS AFTER TWENTY YEARS

Iris Speaker should make a great manager for the Newark Bears in spite of the fact that he has not been a minor league play CT for 21 years. The former chief of the Cleveland Indians played his last game in the minors with Little Rock in the Southern Asso- citation in 1908.
 The grey eagle broke into pro- fessional baseball in 1906 at the age of Is. after finishing Fort Worth Polytechnic Institute. He joined Cleburne in the North Texas League and batted 26O in S4 games. He moved over to Houston the next year and, batting .314 was sold to the Boston Red Sox for $400. Reporting at the end of the 1907 season, he played only seven games for Boston and was sent to Little Rock on option. He batted .350 in the South and was returned to the Red Sox late in the year on payment of $500.
 He went along batting more than 300 every year until he was traded to Cleveland in 1916 for Thomas and Jones and cash. He led- the American League hitters in 1916 with a mark of 386, inter- rupting for year the long reign Of Ty Cobb as king of the Ameri- can league batsmen.
 In July, 1919, he succeeded Lee Fohl as manager of the Cleveland Indians and in 1920 won the pen nant and world championship. He was released after the 1926 sea- son and played in 1927 with Wash ington and in 1928 with the Philadelphia Athletics.
 The 40-year-old player is still active and should play good base ball in the International league. His batting average for 21 years of major league baseball is we'll over BOO
 Speaker can still Ego get 'em," although he is, of course, not the ground coverer he was. In his prime Spoke" played center field just back of second base, and many hit leaving the bat labelled single or double or triple carried right into his hands. He was able to play such a close outfield on ac- count of his extraordinary ability to go back on hard hit balls. Few outfielders have been able to go back as he could.

HUSKY BABY CREW
 SIX HOOTERS PLUS

SEATTLE, Nov. 21.-Of 150 freshmen turning out for crew at the University of Washing ton, S1 are six feet or more tall. And 3S of them are six feet three inches or more.
 Freshman Coach Tom Bolles is inclined to worry about the height of his material, not be- cause his aspiring oarsmen lack power, rhythm or stamina but because some of them car ry their heads so high up in the sky they might make the boat topheavy.
 Three of the youths, Karl Reese, James Donahue and Bcb Hutchison. are six feet seven inches tall, while Ed Johnson is only an inch short CT.
 Withal, Bolles expects to have one of the most powerful baby" shells ever to row for the Huskies.

news. The boys do not seem to be able to get the ball far enough and in many cases when it has power enough it lacks direction It seems strange that the alert captains, finding it almost impos- sible to get the extra points by kicking, do not resort to some other method permitted under the rules. A pass, buck or end run might turn the trick. It would seem that some elevens have noth- ing to lose by turning away from the kick.
