Tex Rickard always wanted to build
Madison Square garden in London,
and it would not be surprising if that
very thing were done in the compare
lively near future. London emisSaries
have been over here several times to
talk over the matter with William F.
Carey and his associates, and the idea
has received favorable consideration.
The London garden might have
something in common with the garden
in Boston. That is, it might be built
in connection with some railroad sta
ton which served trains from all Of
the smaller cities in England, but
which was still central enough to get
the London trade.
Stagg and Yost, long rivals as
coaches, never had the honor of play
ing against each other, but their sons
may be opponents when Chicago plays
Michigan at Ann Arbor, Nov. %.
Paul Stagg is regular quarterback
of the Maroons, and Fielding H. Yost,
Jr. will be a back on the Michigan
squad this year.
The Wolverine back field is some
what open, with only Capt. Jim SIM
rail- and Maynard Morrison Of the reg
ular backs Of last year returning; so
young Yost seems to have fairly
good chance of breaking in. He will
have competition, however, from Willie
HeSton, Jr.
Dan Howley, peppy manager Of the
Cincinnati Reds, believes in having
runners on the bases and ready to run
when his pitchers are working in bat
ting practice.
81 always have runner or two on
the bases and the pitcher has to watch
those runners" says HOwley. 81 ask
my pitchers to throw to the bases and
accustom themselves to pitching with
runners on the path. That is one Of
the most important things in the busi-
ness of pitching. No pitcher ever be-
came a great pitcher until he realized
fully this responsibility.
MANY pitchers fail to make the
grade because they cannot pitch with
runners on the bases. Some of them.
change their pitching style as soon as
a runner gets on. Sometimes this
shift in styles takes away the effec-
tiveness from the pitcher The change
seems to throw him off his stride"
Willie Kamm, the clever third-sack-
er of the Chicago White Sox, when
he played his first game in the Amer
ican League had $50 glove on his
left hand-so the story is told. HOnuS
Wagner, one of the games greatest
players, when he played his first game
in the big stuff had glove on his left
hand that cost 50. 1t was a patched
up affair. but he made good with that
ragged glove. Both these star players
made good so it must be the man and
not exactly the glove.
