the highest recognition, it is Ker
NIT "Zuzu" Stewart, age "a, o1
Dallas Texas.
Stewart was without doubt the
most colorful football player lr
local college ranks last year, anc
only something unforeseen car
keep him out of the spotlight dur
ing the season of 1888.
Color, however, is not Stew
arts only qualification for all
American honors, as he does just
about all that is asked of him by
his coaches. BY that 1 mean
that Stewart is a great guard in
mechanical and mental sense
He gets the results sought by the
coaches and does lot of think
ing on his own.
Is BaIl-Hawk
In speaking of his qualities,
I'd say first that Stewart is out
standing because he is what is
known as a "ball-hawk." Where.
ever you see Stewart, his semi
bald head uncovered, you'll tlnc
the play. And, more often than
not, Stewart will be making the
tackle or clearing ball-carrier's
path.
Comparatively small, weighing
only 165 and standing but feet
7 inches, Stewart can hold his
own against the best of opposing
linemen. Alabama's buTly for
wards last year declared Nun the
best guard they opposed all
season.
'"The Reverend" as some of his
G. w. mates call him, is always
alert. He has the fine faculty
of "nosing" the opponents play
and forewarning his own team. He
is remarkably agile and strong,
can root out bigger linemen when
playing on defense, and is one of
the finest blockers I ever saw in
action.
Head On Block
His most effective block prob
ably is the "head-on" which he
executes by ramming his head into
the shoulder, chest or mid-riff of
an opponent.
Mentally, Stewart is the equal
of any football player I've seen in
20 years. He never misses a sig
nal, is rarely tricked by the op-
position, generally outguesses and
out-talks his foes, and above all
else, fairly exudes the winning
spirit that is so vital to the sue
cess of a football team. Naturally
a team player" zuzu constantly
keeps his G. w. mates in the
proper frame of mind throughout
a game. The situation is never
so discouraging that THE Rev.
erend" can not detect something
with which to cheer his fellow
players.
Briefly, Kermit "Zuzu" Stewart
is an ideal guard, an all-American.

Scalpers Are Watched

Naturally we have done no
little moSeying around the local
baseball headquarters recently,
and we have some knowledge
as to how things are being
done out there
The ball club is making abso-
lutely positive that no tickets
will get into the hands Of
scalpers. 1t will have list, or
we might say a directory, of
who has bought every seat in
the house"
In fact this directory is so
complete and so foolproof that
if you were to call the oall
park over the phone on one
of the world series days here
and ask where John Smith,
of Kankakee, was sitting, they
could tell you his seat number,
his section and his upper or
lower stand location.
It wouldn't take To- Tor an
ordinary bserver hanging

days to realize how really and
thoroughly the local officials
know their regular customers.

GONE
WITH FLAG
IN GRASP
By GARRETT WATERS

OJ NEAASANN Il VVEA NASO
The Griffs lost an important
ball game yesterday, but the set
back was not SO important as TO
send shivers up and down the
backs of their many, many sup
porters who would see them win
the pennant with plenty to spare.
Manager Cronin and his gang
promise to turn this pennant WIN
ming trick very soon, in fact so
soon that every supporter will
reali. that it was done with
plenty to spare, even though loss
here and there has been and will
be taken before the actual feat
is accomplished. SO
Com to think of it, this cur
rent penant drive is by far an
easier one for the Griffs than
when they copped their first
gonfalon back in that ever-mem-
orable year of 1924.
BattIed Down Stretch
It was just a fight down to the
last tooth and nail then as mat
tiers were in doubt until the next
to last day of the season when
on that particular afternoon
Manager Bucky Harris and his
gallant ba4lG OF merry men de-
feated the Boston Red Sox by
the close score of 4 to 2.
That series was full of heart
;N1robs. When the Griffs entered
Boston for what was to be their
final drive, only two games were
needed before the pennant was
taken right away from the ever
dangerous New York Yankees.
In an effort to get the event
decided as soon as possible, Man
ager Bucky Harris started that
grand ace of pitching aces-Wal-
ter Johnson-to stem the fighting
Boston Red Sox, who were just as
much a fighting team then as
they are now.
Strategy Fails
The strategy failed as Johnson,
for some reason or other. lost the
game thereby casting a deep spell
of the "blues" among the re-
mainder of the team. The fight
ing spirit of the club rallied, how
ever, as the Sox were finally
downed in the remaining games
of the set.
Such memories! Great to
bring 'em back again with the
present Griff machine so near TO
the 1888 gonfalon, ETC., ETC., etc.
Now, about two months ago,
many might have had the idea
that history was going to repeat
itself in the case of the Griff.
men this year. But this hardly
promises to be the case as, Crouin
and his gang are so far ahead
of the New York Yankees Today
that only an earthquake, or
somethin' could keep 'em from
walking under the wire.
Can Afford To Lose
Such is the situation in regard
to this years race in comparison
to that of the 1924 campaign.
The Griffs can thank their stars
that they've gathered together
such an excellent advantage over
the Yanks as with the flag so
near, they can afford to lose now
and then, as per yesterdays set
back at the hands of the st. Louis
Browns. and not worry a great
deal about it.
And that leads us to the
thought of what a better team
the present Cronin combination
is over that one under the direc-
tion of Bucky Harris in 1924. But
we won't go into that now as
there'll be plenty to discuss about
that later.

sell to advertisers who wished
to award world series tickets
as premiums for merchandise

was told politely where it
headed in.
In the same manner when
this newspaper found its re-
quirements to give Babe Ruth
all-American team contestants
their just deserts would be
fifteen tickets instead Of the
promised ten, it took plenty of
diplomacy tt get the five extra
reservations, and they were
granted strictly on the basis
that after all the Babe Ruth
contest is a powerful stimulant
to baseball throughout the
summer and that by conceding
the five extra tickets the game
itself was being benefited.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 19.-Special
permission will be sought to get
Third Baseman Chick Dresseu's
name on the list of Giant eligibles
for the world series. This is be-
cause of the condition of Travis
Jackson's legs. Old Stony'S knees
are all right, but he has a charley
horse in each thigh, and, in case
said charley horses shouldn't be
stabbed by October 3, Manager
Terry wants another man avail

vile, did not report until Septem-
ber 9, which made him ineligible
for use in the post-season games,
His name did not appear among
the % qualified Giant players
named last week by Commissioner

Terry's idea is not to substitute
Dresser for Jackson on the eligi-
BILE list. He wants permission to
use each, and both, if necessary.

We don't expect to win our

probably the second, but as
the season progresses, my play
