pipe hasn't begun to arrive. The
same pipe through which the grass
growing water will run next Spring.
Those Curtis Cup matches last Sep
tember were no joke to Dick. For the
Watson man Is one who loves his
job and takes it seriously. Chevy
Chase to him is more than golf
course. It is place where his artistry
must show rewards. And long about
the first week in September some of
Dicks beloved putting greens were not
SO good. Then along came deluge
after deluge Of rain, inundating
bunkers, making fairways soft and
soggy, and generally causing quite q
mess.
All Of this a few days before the
opening of the matches. Dick went
around like man in q daze Nature
had taken an unkind cut at him, and
he couldn't do much about it. But
1t all came out all right and now Dick
is in the middle of q job he knows
will make Chevy Chase to bloom like
the rose all through the hot days Of
next Summer. Between them-Dick
and Bob Stead-they are going to
make that Chevy Chase course thing
Of real beauty, for If there is one
factor which makes q golf course good
1t is fairway watering. Meanwhile the
ground work goes on and the hard
working Stead prays the pipe will
come.
TT ISN'T such a good year for Al
Houghton. The Kenwood pro

to Sol Dt Buono and Jack Patroni,
while George Difienbaugh and Andy
Merrillees were plodding on to an

role Of giant killer. Houghton played

Change in Coaches Likely.

ITARRIs' assumption of the man
i i agement may bring about q re-
vision of the Nationals coach
ing stan. Al Schacht, who came back
to the Washington club as coach in
June of ls24-Harris' first managerial
year-has asked permission to negod-
ate for . job elsewhere. He believes
he might make . better deal for him
self. AL may bob up as an aide to
Cronin in Boston. Nick Altrock Is
pretty much Of q fixture here and
Grifith has said that Johnny Kerr
will remain.
Perhaps Roger Peckinpaugh, who
was shortstop of the pennant-win-
ming Nationals and later manager at
Cleveland, will be given . coach's
berth and 1t has been intimated that
Joe Judge, who did the first basing
for the Washington club many years,
also will land job here. Peckinpaugh
and Judge were close advisers to Har-
ris during his early management Of
the Nationals.
The task Of rounding up pitching
material for trial with the Nationals
at the Biloxi training camp in the
Spring win be started next week when
Harris will accompany Grifith to the
annual minor league sessions at Louis
vile. Virtually all Of the major league
clubs as well as the minors will be
represented in the gathering and deals
are likely to be started then although
probably not consummated until the
major circuits band for their meet

hired by an American League
club that had fred him adds another
startling chapter to an amazing base
ball history. His has been o spectac-
ular career In the diamond game.
Little heralded In his minor league
days. Bucky quickly rose to stardom
after making the major grade and
soon developed into successful leader
a. well Is q player Of class. In as
suming the management Of the Wash
ington club, Harris at SO enters his
twelfth campaign as . major league
pilot.
Harris is natural" In base ball.
Perhaps his birthplace made him take
to the game as well as to basket ball
and foot ball. He was born in a house
on Ball street in Port Jervis, N. Y,
November 8, 1896.
He gave up foot ball before getting
his first minor league job and put
aside basket ball before he joined the
Washington club in 1919. Bucky
realized the court game might mar
his career as q base ball player, al
though 1t was not easy for him to
forego the sport as he had made quite
a name for himself professionally in
basket ball.

Bucky Gets Brothers Job.

TN JULY Of that year Harris heard
i that Reading, then in the New
York-P ennsylvania League,
wanted second sacker and he long
distanced Manager George Wiltse, ask
ing for the job. Wiltse had with him
pitcher who had played with Merle
Harris, Bucky's elder brother, in the
Canadian League, and the pitcher, be-
lieving the Harris who had commune
Gated with the manager to be a former
teammate advised the Reading boss to
sign him.
Wiltse telegraphed to Merle at Pitts
ton asking him to join Reading, but
Merle was through with base ball and
knowing his brother had asked for the
trial, turned the telegram over to his
younger brother.
Bucky finished the season with
Reading and when the New York
Pennsylvania League failed to resume
operations in 1918 wiltse sold the in
fielder to Buffalo. The Bisons blew in
August, but Harris went into the ship
yards at Baltimore and played with
the formidable Drydocks nine. Joe
Judge, first sacker, had left the Ma
tionals to play on the same Baltimore
team and it was he who first tipped
Clark Griffith to Harris.

Learns Game ut Pittston.

TIE CLUNG to base ball with q
marked persistency, probably in
herited from his Welsh ancestry,
and quickly made himself a nationally
famous character In professional dia-
mond ranks.
When Harris was but years old,
his family moved to Hughestown, a
borough adjoining Pittston, Pa. When
l3 he went to work as a breaker boy
In the coal mines. Soon a better
place at the colliery gave him more
time to devote to sports and 1t was
not long before he became a regular
nflelder for the Pittston team Of the
nterurban Amateur League.
The team entered the professional
ranks in 1915 and the next year he
was taken on the Detroit training trip
by the then manager, Hughey Jen-
nings, fellow townsman. He was
considered too fran for major league
ball, however, and was transferred to
the Muskegen Club Of the Central
League.
In 1917 he began the season with
Norfolk Of the Virginia League. With
the United States in the World War,
though, business was poor in that cir
cult so after five weeks in the Old
Dominion the young athlete returned
to Pennsylvania to play independent
ball with the Lehightons.

Buddy Myer, both great friends Of
Bucky's. THAT Bluege is q rare ball
player" observed Harris. Perhaps
there won't be q regular berth for him
on the club, but what . wonderful util-
ity inhelder to have around"
For q year before Harris left the
Nationals in 1928 it was widely ru-
mored that he had engaged in fight
with Myer. Both Bucky and Buddy
indignantly denied the report then
and Harris again had said there never
was any bitter difference. why, I
never even had any harsh words with
Myer," said Harris. I'VE always got
along well when I was with the club
before and our relations have been
cordial since"

club. taking over the Job va
Gated by George Moriarty. Through
five seasons Bucky handled the Tigers,
never getting them out of the second
division Of the American League.
Three times under mis- management
they finished fifth, once sixth and
once seventh. Harris greatest trou-
bic with Detroit was lack Of . COM
petent pitching corps.
Last season Harris assumed the
management of the Red Sox in Bos-
ton, succeeding Marty McManus. He
asked only a years contract, stating
at the time that IT ! can't make good
in a year I'll not be worthy Of an
other chance" But again he had
club beset by pitching troubles. The
worst blow to the Red Sox and Harris
was the lameness that developed in
the pitching arm of the once great
Lefty Grove.
Had Grove been In trim, base ball
folk believe the Red Sox would have
finished no worse than second In the
race. AS it was, they finished fourth,
breaking into the first division for the
first time since 1918, when they won
their last pennant. Harris had made
