.CASTOFF CATCHER
IS STAR FOR CUBS
Old Zack Taylor, Let Go by
Braves, Is Filling Big
Gap at Chicago.
BY WALTER TRUMBULL.

TOE MCCARTHY, manager Of the
Chicago Cubs. has been a lucky
fellow. It looks as II he and his
~ men were going to split profits
of fame and fortune which come
with a world series. But 1t hasn't been
all luck. You will have to give Joseph
credit for more than q little native
Shrewdness.
He gathered up some stars that 9TH
ers were willing to let 60. and he de-
veloped some pitchers and q lot Of
teamwork. But IL you were to ask Nc
Carthy what the shrewdest mov he
made toward winning a pennant was,
I doubt whether his first impulse would
be 10 mention either Hornsby or Cuyler.
He would be likely to speak of another
man.
Hartnett'S Loss Blow.
When Charlie Hartnett came back
from his Winters rest, he brought with
him a sore arm. Instead of working
out, as it often does, the arm got worse,
which was no light matter, when you
consider that, aside from being q great
catcher, Hartnett was n Of the sweet
est hitters on the team. Mccarthy
tried out various young catchers, but
none Of them filled the bill.
Along about the last of June the Bos-
ton Braves decided that they had a
catcher who had outlived his big league
usefulness, so they decided to let him
60. Mccarthy claimed him at the
waiver price, and a lot Of other man
ayers grinned. If q catcher was no
good to the Braves. what possible use
could he be to the Cubs? 1t was limited
that Mccarthy should have his head
examined.
The catcher's name was James Will
liam Taylor, although for years every
one had called him Zach. Taylor was
born in Yulu, Fla, in 1898. Starting
in 1915, he played with various clubs in
Dixie. In 1920 he went to Brooklyn,
played there seven or eight years. and
was retired to Boston. So, when Bos-
ton let him out, what Mccarthy paid
the waiver price for was a veteran 81
years old who had played professional
ball for IA seasons and a man not
wanted by a second division club.
Taylor Is Rejuvenated.
Taylor no sooner arrived in Chicago
than he sent back to his native State
Of Florida for something. 1t was a
couple of gallons of clear water from
Ponce de Icons tabled fountain Of
youth.
He began to play ball as he had
played it 10 seasons before, only with
the cunning which had come to him
through the years. It oon developed
tina; the only possible use he could be
to the Cubs was to aid as much or
more than any other man In winning
them a pennant. So now it Is Nc
Carthy who grins when the name OF
lack Taylor is mentioned.

~ NE county championship was
decided and struggles for three
others got under way last night
~ in The Stars Metropolitan
horseshoe pitching tournament.
Maurice Cooper Of Leesburg was
crowned king of the barnyard golfers
OF Loudoun County. Va. when he de-
feated Edgar Etcher, also OF Leesburg,
in the final round at Leesburg, so to Al
and so to SO.
Competition was started at Clarendon
in the Arlington County, Va, play-of.
at Hyattsville in the Prince Georges
County. Nd, finals and at Falls Church
in the Fairfax County, Va, play-oh.
The first rounds in the these three
will be completed tomorrow night start
ing at 6 o'clock. All town champions
and runners-up who haven't played
their first county matches will be de-
faulted unless they appear tomorrow.
Cooper Colorful Champion.
Loudoun County presents a colorful
champion in Cooper. He is 20 years
old and measures only five feet two
inches in height, but he's chunky and
durable. He played four matches with
little rest to win the title. In the nnal
match his opponent was a giant
Etcher is we'll over six feet. 1t was an
odd pair and a large gallery thoroughly
enjoyed the show. according to the tele-
phonic report from Chairman Lawrence
Cooksey.
Young Cooper should be a formidable
contender for northern Virginia honors.
In vanouishing Etcher he averaged II
ringers a game
played at Falls Church and those who
haven't played in the first round will
be permitted to catch up tomorrow
night.
Ed Henry. the Falls Church cham
pion, and a favorite to win the Fairfax
County titles. got in two victories. He
trimmed Stewart Petit, the Accotlnk
champion, as a starter and then de-
feated Leslie S%harhotlz, Chesterbrook
champion.
Unset at Hyattsville.
An upset at Hyattsville was the de-
feat of Roy Stanaert, Beltsvllle cham
pion. who had southpawed sensation
ally at times to win preliminary honors
from a field of stars. Stanaert was
eliminated by Raymond Ward, r., the
Mount Rainier runner-up, 81 to 10, and
81 to z.
Thus a runner-up carried on where a
champion was defeated for Frank
Bauman, who trimmed Ward in h
Mount Rainier final, fell before Ley
freshman, of East Riverdale. Ii to 10
and o. to 10. The score indicates the
sort of fight made by Bauman.
In the toughest battle at Hyattsvllle,
H. A Cunning, Glenn Dale champ. was
beaten by C. M. Barb of Berwyn, l4-2l,
Ala and 22-l4.
A. A. Kirchner, who won the Bar
croft preliminary. was the outstanding
PLAYER at Clarendon. After losing the
irst game to Preston Gingell Of Cherry
dale, Kirchner swung into his regular
form in the second and won, 81 to 2.
Then he took the third with little ef-
fort. "a to 4. In the three games he
chucked II ringers.
Another excellent Arlington County
performer was S. C. Henson, the Airing
ton town champion. He made short
work of Bill Medley Of Lyon Village.

In 1919 both Tilden and Jones
reached the final round Of amateur
championships. Bill Johnston beat
Tilden in three sets out of four. Dave
Heron stopped Bobby Jones at Oak
mont. But there is this difference.
Tilden then vas &c years old, Jor IS was
only II. And Jones was a star in a
game where one car last longer, where
speed, stamina and youth are not so i'm
portant. Tilden was the first to break
through. He took over tennis suprem-
acy in 1920. He won in Australia, he
won at Wimbledon and he beat John
ston at Forest Hills. Jones had to wait
longer. He won his first national tri-
umph at Inwood In 1923. But he was
then only 81 years old, nine years
younger than Tilden.
Both Tilden and Jones belong to the
keen, impetuous types, who first had to
control their nerves before they could
show the mastery of skill and power
which both had at the start. But hav-
ing arrived, it is doubtful If the amateur
side has ever produced two greater stars.
or any other pair with greater all
around records.

sumed that more than $780, 900 will
have been paid to see two youngsters,
barely over Fl years old, match speed,

ing and they had high-claSs defensive
play, both from the infield and the
outfield.
Most Of the important fundamentals
are built around a strong defense. It
is from this that a strong attac,s can be
launched.
A foot ball team with a strong at
tack and a weak defense is nearly al
ways in trouble. 1t usually takes a
stout defense to give the attack its
chance.
Jack Dempsey was supposed to
have no defense worth speaking of.
But he had a fast. shifty. weaving
way of going to attack that made
him an uncertain target. He gave
most of his attention TO the offensive
side. But this offensive side failed
to break down Tom Gibbons defen-
Sive and 1t had even greater trouble
against Tunney's blocking and foot
work.
The attack of Yost's old Michigan
foot ball team In the days Of Heston
has been featured. Yet few remember
that 1t was impossible to gain any
ground against this same Michigan
team. one Of the strongest defensive
outfits foot ball has ever known.
