PASSERS "A CE
BRIDGEPORT

Another interesting pro foot
ball game Is promised at Grit
filth Stadium tonight when the
Washington Passers entertain the
Bridgeport Gridmen at S:15
o'clock.
Although the Passers weren't
able to make any sort Of show
ing against the Chicago Bears a
week or so ago, the game was
interesting because the Bears
demonstrated to local fans just
how the professional game should
be played.
Thus, tonight's contest should
be just as interesting even
though the Passers won't win
because q brand new array OF
gridiron stars will be on the
field for the Bridgeports.
Loeser and Linehan, former
AllAmericans, will be among
those present as will Kosky, for
mer Notre Dame luminary; Arm
strong, of Dartmouth, and
Reuter-, of Lafayette.
The PaSsers have drilled all
week for this fray in the idea
to give the Bridgeports as close
a battle as possible. The team
might do it at that as PeaSe,
zulick, Slaird, Fenlon & Co. have
become a much smoother COM
bination since that 1nauspicious
opener against the Bears.

Griff and Connie

should think such an idea
would appeal to the true friends
of the boys, men like Clark
Griffith, who was always a
boys man and, like Connie
Mack, than whom there is no
more sincere friend Of Young
America.
Finally the set-up seems to
have that long-looked-for appeal
to the boy to want to go to
school. First, he will be at
tracted by the great baseball
personalities; then he will want
to vie in the school room as
well as in the baseball class
with his mates, and finally the
whole idea of instruction both
in sport, in classes and in pa
triotism will unfold before him.
And another good citizen
will have been started on his
way-through baseball taught
by the big names of the game.

Chattanooga Improved so Per Cent ODer 80
SOUTHERNERS
POINT FOR

From Chattanooga word has
been received that the Mecca
sins" anticipate putting a so per
cent improved football team on
the greensward at Griffith Sta
dunn Friday night over that
which opposed Catholic Univer-
Sity a year ago.
Also that the 'Noogans, inspired
by this past week-end's win over
Oglethorpe, consider this game
their most important of the year
and have been pointing for c. U.
since the seasons start.
The one man c. U. must cen
ter most attention on is that
same youngster who very nearly
stole Whelan's thunder a season
ago, Billy Venable. Ballyhooing
Capt. (''Tubby'D HaSWell as their
super-star last season, the "Moc-
casins" instead unleashed in the
short, Stockily built Venable one
Of the best ball runners to show
here all season.
Smart Receiver
This year Venable not only is
outstanding as, a broken field
runner but also has become a
smart receiver Of passes, his COM
bined efforts on offense produc-
ing much of the punch that fig
ured in Oglethorpe's defeat.
Beurah Mccall, Venable's run
ming mate at halfback, also is q
triple threat. Bill Ratigan, quar-
terback, is a smooth team di-
rector, a handy Andy all around
and ideal pinch player, while
Fred Perry, 1882 end, has been
converted into a fullback of the
smashing type the 'Noogans have
long lacked.
Among Best Tackles
On the line Capt. Dudley Mer-
ritt, 1876 pounds, is reckoned
among Dixie'S best tackles, while
Lou Ellis, alternate captain and
end, along with Jim Haley, who
plays the other wing, also is
ranked among the best boys in
their particular section.
Fod Cotton, who secuted Chat
tanooga against Oglethorpe, is
particularly impressed with Chat
tanooga's spirit. Chattanooga, he
insists, fights hardest when trail.

thorpe to win Saturday. Two c. U.

From His Idol

And with the baseball in
structions would come talks on
Americanism and patriotism
and clean living and clean
thinking such guidance mean
ing more to a boy coming from
one Of his baseball idols perhaps
than when it came from a
teacher in the lads normal
course of instruction.
Captain Maines has SUBJ
mitted his plan to school super
intendents, principals and
coaches and received their gen.
uine approval. Some of these
are willing to give the boys
credits toward their graduations
for their accomplishments in
baseball classes as well as in
patriotism and Americanism.
To our way of thinking the
Names plan has many attrac-
tive features. Besides a ges-
ture to interest the kid genera
ton in baseball as a great,
healthful American sport, it
offers something of special
value to the youth of the land.

This has been the trouble
with Junior baseball promoters.
Too much thinking about how
sales can be increased and how
players can be developed. Let
the chips fall where they may,
and if the Americanism part is
kept foremost in mind, the
other things will naturally
follow.
First, get the boy interest

teach him something he wants

the Browns into fifth place in 1919
and fourth in 1920. Ball still was
not satisfied, and brought in Lee
Fohl. who took the team built up
by Burke and drove it into third

In 1922 the Browns came the

only one game behind the league

when George Sisler won the league
batting crown, with an average OF
.419. The late Urban Shocker was
the teams star pitcher.
When the Browns slid back to nth
place In 1923, Fohl was promptly
ousted in favor of Jimmy Austin,
veteran coach, who was soon fol-
lowed by Sisler. Sisler brought the
Browns up to fourth position In
1924 and fifth in 1925, but when

RAMEY SCRAPP|NC
FOR TITLE CHANCE
Youth Who Shaded Canzoneri
Is Clever Boxer, but Shy
Punch and Color.
BY FAIR PLAY.

n YEW YORK, July 23.-Wesley
M Ramey is having a hard
/ Y time trying to convince
boxing fans that he rates
recognition as a challenger Tor
the lightweight title.
Several months ago Yves outscored
Tony Canzoneri in q 10-round match
and then tried to induce the little Ital-
ian to give him q fight at the class
weight, but Barney Ross beat him to
it and now holds the lightweight
crown. With Ross and Tony signed up
for q September engagement, Ramey
is out of it for q long time to come.
The Grand Rapids boy has fought
for practically nothing in all parts Of
the country in order to build up what
some sports call reputation" Not
SO long ago he visited Los Angeles and
went through his PAGES daily in the
gym for over two months without being
able to secure a match. Soon after his
return home and his victory over Can
zoneri, Coast promoters realized their
mistake and tried to get him to make
the long trip back to Los Angeles.
Has Lost Only Twice.
MO one Is foolish enough to say
~ that Yves does not have class.
The truth Is that he seems to
have too much class to make a hit
with the fans He is q superb boxer
and has lost but two bouts since he
started boxing. He scored but one
knockout, however, and that against q
mediocre opponent. The fans like to
see q puncher In action and will not

Of some slam bang action.
Lack Of color is a tremendous handi-
cap to q fighter, as Ramey has found
out, and he would willingly sacrifice
some Of his science for bit of power
behind his blows. With this addition
to his repertoire Ramey would not
have to be fighting secondary bouts in
this city in order to build up follow
ing and win q chance to cut in on the
big money.

veloped their discouraging habit of
winding up in the second division.
They came back to fourth place in
1908, but they were going SO poorly
the next season that McAleer was re-
moved as manager and replaced by
Jack O'Connor. The Browns dropped
into the cellar in 1910 and, though
they changed managers again by
taking on Rhody Wallace, one-time
star shortstop, they couldn't get out
of it in 1911. George Stovall sue
ceeded Wallace midway through the
1912 race, but the team failed to
take a brace either that year or In
1918, whereupon Stovall joined the
procession of ex-Brown managers.
Then along came Branch Hickey,
present vice president Of the Cardi-
mails and the prime mover In the
chain store system in base ball. In
the 1914 race Hickey prodded the
Browns into fifth place, but the next
year they were sixth.
In 1915 the club was sold to Phil
Ball, millionaire sportsman, who has
taken q lot of financial nckings
since that time, but has continued
to hold onto it in the hope Of some
day producing a winner. Ball at
once started another new deal In
managers by appointing Fielder
Jones, who had led the Chicago
White Sox to q world championship
against the Cubs in 1905. Jones
had no more luck than his predeces-
sors, however, and he quit In tho
middle Of the 1913 season. jimmy

usually heavy this season.
Bill Killefer stepped down this
week as boss of the luckless st. Louis
Browns, only q short time after
Roger Peckinpaugh was deposed at
Cleveland, and the base ball oracleS
are predicting several other changes
in managerial roles by the close Of
the current campaigns.
Securely ballasted in last place in
the American League, the Browns
have no chance to get anywhere
this year and probably will present
q much revarhped lineup when the
1884 season opens.
No st. Louis American League team
ever has won a championship. The
original Browns, managed by the
late Charles A. Comiskey, were real
champions, for they captured four
remnants in the old American Asso-
citation back in 1885, 1886, 1887 and
1888. The city Of st. Louis never
saw championship team again I'M
til the Cardinals won the National
League pennant in 1926.
In their first year In the American
League, 1902, the Browns started on
we'll enough by finishing second. The
late Jimmy McAleer was then man
ager of the team. In the next i've
seasonA however, the towns de-
