 The 25-year-old snowman came to New York in that year, after an apprenticeship in the Chicago World Fair, and found the muscle man exhibiting at the Casino. "Sandow was the most perfect human being I had ever seen," Ziegfeld reminisced in later years. T had only $5,000 when I went to Abbey, who was managing him, and made a proposal to take over San- dow.
 Abbey asked $1.500 a week. countered by offering him 10 per cent of the gross receipts. We clinched the, agreement. took Sandow back with me and opened up at the midwinter fair in San Francisco.
 We averaged S35,00O a week. Abbey received $3,5O0 instead of the $1,50O he had asked. After the San Francisco fair was over, we travelled all over the country from town to town. With us were Evans and Hoey, playing Charlie Hoyt's 'Parlor Match Sandow appeared between acts"

MAJOR KOEHLER IS STILL ALIVE

Druggist Gave Him the Wrong Prescription and the Major Was Chased for Five Hours

Seagirt, N. J., July 23.-(UP)- Major George R.. Koehler went about his regular duties at Camp Moore here today, after riding around New Jersey yesterday with "death" in his pocket. A pharma- cist at Paterson, N. J., had given the major capsules containing a strychnine compound considerably stronger than his prescription had indicated. The druggist discovered his error and notified state police to. hunt the officers automobile.
 For five hours, New Jersey and New York state police vainly traii- ed the automobile. Late at night, Major Koehler strolled nonchal- antly into camp. He had taken two capsules several hours before, but still was "very much alive"

gether two bitter enemies at the
helm of the contending teams. But
then if Veeck hadn't dismissed
Hornsby there might not have been
any world series in Chicago.
Instead of a grudge battle be-
tween Mccarthy and HornSby, the
managerial rivalry is between two
steadfast friends. Under McCar-
thy's regime at Chicago, Grimm
was one of his most loyal players.
Mccarthy proved himself great
manager during his seven years in
the majors. He took the Cubs over
in 1926 after they had finished last
the previous season, and piloteS
them to fourth place. He laid the
groundwork for the present team.
He has never had a team to finish
out Of first division.
If Mccarthy knows all about the
Cubs, Grimm has a right-hand man
who knows all about the Yankees.
He is Charley O'Leary, nine years
a Yankee coach, who moved to the
Cubs when Mccarthy went to the
Yankees. He knows where to pitch
to Ruth, Gehrig, Lazzeri, Dickey,
ETC., and where not to pitch to 'em.

nesota and Oregon, he has never de-
veloped losing team. In his five
years at Minnesota, his teams won
twenty-eight conference games and
lost nine. At Oregon the past two
years his teams won fourteen, lost
four and tied two games.
Last year under Glenn Thistleth-
waite, Wisconsin won three and lost
three Conference games. The
Badgers should equal that record
again this year, and the season
would be huge success if they won
four out of their six Big Ten games.
DR.. Spears will continue to use the
powerhouSe attack he emphasized
at Minnesota, where he had such
bone-crushing plungers as Herb
Joesting and Bronko NagurSki. He
has plenty of raw material to work
with in his efforts to rebuild the
Badgers.
From the many shifts Dr. Spears has
made in practice it is impossible to tell
how the Wisconsin team will lineup. He
has converted full backs to ends. guards

SO what? Well, if Mccarthy had
any thought of opening the series
with him against the Cubs next
Wednesday at the stadium he UNI
doubtedly has revised his plans by
now. When Gomez can't beat the
Athletics, always a set-up team for
him, he doesn't belong in baseball
suit.
The question now is, will Gomez
even start a game? This may sound
absurd in dealing with the prospects
of one of the greatest young left
handlers the game ever has seen,
a pitcher who has won twenty-four
games, but consider the facts.
Admittedly the standout pitcher
of baseball up to July, Gomez sud-
denly went into a tailspin from
which he never recovered. Nobody
can tell you precisely what hap
pened to him. other than that he
seemed to lose all his stuff, What
appeared at first to be temporary
lapse, gradually took on the quality
of chronic malady. Instead of
getting better, he got worse.
Broadway Not to Blame
Gomez didn't have anything but
a straight fast one and lot Of
boyish eagerness Thursday. There
was scarcely any hop to his fast
one, and this being so, FoXx, Coch-
rane, Haas and McNair took toe

came the refrain Of an ancient
hymn: Don't Blame 1t All on
Broadway
You see, this is supposed to be
one OF the things that is the mat

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-The man
agerial situation for the New York
Yankees Chicago Cubs world series
is unique in baseball history.
Joe Mccarthy, manager of the
Yankees, was for five years the
leader of the Chicago Cubs, and
knows the strength and weaknesses
of the majority of the opposition's
players almost as well as he knows
those of his own team.
Charlie Grimm, playing manager
of the Cubs, was elevated to his
present role less than two months
