CUP DEFENSE.
IS EXPLAINED
BY MENTOR
BY A. J. DUTCH" BERGMAN
Head Football Coach, Catholic
University

The cup defense is used by O
majority of teams and is probably
the best style used. In theory the
defensive team drives everything
into the cup, which means the
center of the line. The ends are
supposed to turn everything into
the guards; the guards everything
into the center.
The linemen on defense must
cover only the ground immedi-
ately in front of them. The ends

Terry's S Injury
Saddens n. y.
Giants

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-An in
jury to Bill Terry's thumb and
the tragic death of the infant
daughter of Johnny Vergez cast
a spell of gloom over the Giant
camp today. However, both Terry
and Vergez have requested their
teammates to forget their troubles
and concentrate on the coming
series with the Washington Griff-
men.
Terry is not worrying overly
much about his hurt thumb as it
is not as serious as thought at
first. He hurt it yesterday in the
Giants game with the Boston
Braves.
Charley Dresser, veteran third
sacker, was added to the Giant
eligibles for world series play,

Popular Selection

in view of Joe's great playing
record, but, "They'lI ruin a good
young player with at least 10
years of baseball ahead of him."
declared the grandstand man.
ayers.
Clark Griffith and Secretary
Eynon, the brain trust Of Wash
ington's baseball interests, can
laugh at that now, for Joe has
played hard and fast and ma
neuvered his team into a cham
pionship and a world series.
Incidentally, we recall that
Joe Judge said in Brooklyn
this spring that Cronin would
win the American League pen
nant for Washington with
eight games to spare. and
that was the margin Wash
ington had the day the flag
was cinched.
Contrary to a popular be-
lief, Cronin and Harris, both
made managers in their twenty
seventh years, are not the
youngest managers to ever
pilot major league teams.
Cronin will be 27 just 10 days
after the coming world series
starts.
But back in 1905 James Gar
land Stahl, commonly called
Jake" was made Washington
manager at the undeveloped
age of "a and seven years
later won world series for the
Boston Red SoX against the
New York Giants.
That made the first time
the Giants lost to a very young
manager. Harris repeated the
dose with the Griffmen against
the Giants in 1924 and the
third and charm time con-
fronts Joe Cronin starting a
week from today.
Sure, he'll do it!

Tor washington, we lind Joe just hav-
ing signed his first major league con-
tract for Pittsburgh in August, 1924,
when Washington was about to 60
into its initial world series, and when
the baseball destinies had just given
the National Capital its first world
series conquerer, in Bucky Harris. The
same destinies already had commenced
to mould, form and shape the profess
sional baseball life Of the boy who
would become a man and step into the
footprints originally made by Stanley
Raymond Harris.
Pittsburgh sent Cronin to Johns
town, Pa, for seasoning no sooner than
the 1925 spring season was over, and
by Joe's own words, he was a very
detected young man.

Remembered Advice

- But he remembered the ad-
-monition Of Miss Philomene
Hagen when she gave him his
tennis diploma back on the
courts of the Excelsior Play
grounds in 1912. "Be a good
-Sportsman!" He stuck to Johns
town, played SO games, hitting
-.313.
- The spring of 1926 rolled
around and young Cronin was
back in the Pirate camp, and
when the club came East to
open the season, Cronin kept
right on going until the engine
~~whistled and the train pulled
into New Haven. Conn. There
he ripened and ripened, insofar
as Eastern League standards
were concerned, hitting for
1920 and finally being recalled
in July to the Pirates,
where he got into the game
at second base for awhile,
Pirate manager. Bill McKen-
144c, WAS WIN MIN.
- All through 1927 Cronin rode
the bench under DOME Bush,
getting into but IL games and
being far off form. The next
year the Pirates gave up on Joe
and shipped him to Kansas
City where Joe Engel picked
him up, as explained herein
last Friday and Saturday.
1t was on a Friday that Joe
was transferred to Kansas City
and on a Friday, the thirteenth
of July, 1928, that he was sold
to Washington, so none can say
the big, blue-eyed Irishman
from Napa, San Francisco, is
>Superstitious.
When Stanley Harris first
took hold of Joe, he de-
-tected a bit of inferiority COM
-plex, or perhaps it was only
-shyness, in Cronin.
"What's the matter, bOy!"
Bucky exclaimed.
"Mr. Harris, 1 can't hit"
"Bucky" grinned, answering
2rAendly-like:
"Yea, I had a lot of the
same kind of trouble once. But
listen to me-yOu're going to
Start playing ShOrtstOp for me
-pr0nto, even if you only hit
=the size Of your shirt, so go
to it," the while he gave Joe
o friendly nudge in the ribs.
- Joe often reminisces how
hard he worked for Bucky
Harris and how tolerant
-"Bucky" was of his early short
coming and awkardness. He's
got a great spot in his heart
-for Stanley Raymond Harris
as has everyone else who even
-pretends to know "Bucky" well.
