Three years ago. Big Bill Tllaen,
was abruptly checked by the surg
ing rush Of youthful FrenchmCn
after capturing the United States
singles championship six times IN
a row. Over the period Of 1920 70
1925, Big Bill was supreme. The
record of seven championships, first
set by Dick Sears back in the
eighties and equalled later by VIII
liam Larned. appeared well within
the grasp Of Tilden until he ran in
TO Cochet in 1926 and then LacosJs
in 1927. Cochet turned back Frank
Hunter for the singles crown In
1923. Tilden being in official dis
favor as an aftermath Of his player
writer row and was ruled out VI
action.
Now, the lanky American Is back
home after his last big campaign
abroad, with no more Frenchmen
IN sight for the rest OF the season.
AS a consequence. Big Bill has q
royal chance to wade through the
field at Forest Hills, starting Sept.
Y, to re-capture the national title
and equal the Sears-Larned mark.
Should he do SO, Tilden automatl-
cally would clinch the No. / rankipg
position on the national list Tor the
tenth time in a row. Despite his
ups and downs OF recent years, he
has never relinquished that domin-
ating position at the head Of the
class last February for the ninth
year.
In the 10 national singles champ
lonshiDs he mas been tried for since
1918, Tilden has been Champion
six times, runner-up three times ~
Lindley Murray, Little Bill John
ston and Henri Ccchet.
Little Bill was Big Bits victim
five times in the national finals
and once in the semi-finals, in 1921
when Tilden's conquest Of Wallace
Johnston in the finals represented
an anti-climaX.
When Babe Herman first broke
il with the Brooklyn Robins. his
awkardness in the field frequently
made il doubtful whether he would
block fly balls with his glove or hts
head. The Babe Is still several
kilometers short Of the Tris Speak
or standard OF outfieldiisg but his
heavy hitting has offset anything
his critics mag say about his de-
fensive ability. Herman has been
batting consistently around 400
threatening TO give Brooklyn its
first champion batsm2n since the
palmy days Of Jake Daubert and
Zack Wheat.

Ian WhoLet Go When Pitching CRACKED

Montreal club decided to let him go.
It is also asserted that Shawkey did
not like his stay in Canada. He was
in Florida with the Yankees in the
Spring and as time went on became a
coach. Higgins had confidence In
Shawkey'S base ball ability.
He has never been manager, but
now he assumes the task of leading a
team that possesses its full share Of
eccentricities. Some of the eccentrics,
it is true, will not be there with him.
Meusel has gone for one and others
may go when Spring comes around.
No Battle With Babe Likely.
Shawkey knows Ruth who, in his
time, gave Higgins battle and lost it.
1t is not Immediately probable that
there will be any battle between
ShaWkey and Ruth because the latter
in recent years has been prone to ac-
cept the destiny fate has for him and
not reel as long as his fat contract
with the New York club was continued.
Ruth has been spoken of as a prob
able manager of the team, but, although
the Babe is smart in the playing of
the game, it takes more than base ball
smartnesS to make good manager.
Shawkey is forceful and he will have
his way, although he may get his ends
achieved in a good natured manner.
No real test of his ability, however, can
be effected until he has a chance to
show himself as field general and as
keen judge of the correct thing to
do in time of stress.
He knows pitching we'll. He was q
working pitcher when he was &C
lively engaged in major games. He
never spared himself or his arm, and it
was because of his full-hearted earnest

BOB SHAWKEY,

Behind the scenes in the base ball
life of Bob Shawkey, who today steps
into the shoes of Miller Higgins as
manager of the Yankees, looms the
story of an obscure storekeeper in a
small Northwestern Pennsylvania village
who foresaw the possibilities in the
lanky youth.
Harry Truman, minor league and
Semi-pro pitcher in his younger days,
stopped one afternoon to watch a gawky
SGus P1ayng {, Da IL, on town Vacaht iot ,th
was Shawkey.
Sensing possibilities in the youthful
hurler, Truman took him in hand and
for two years coached him in pitching
for control. Back of the Truman barn
Shawkey practiced, throwing nothing
but straight fast ball for two years.
and at the end of that time he could
