DOUBT COCHRANE
WILL PILOT AGAIN
Mike Is Held Through" as
Regular on Team That
Needs Rebuilding.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

DA hANNAo De EOhEnO.
~HICAGO, September Some
4 one with the mans interest at
heart should steal Mickey
~ Cochrane's catching mitt or
contrive other means of keeping the
Detroit manager of the playing field.
Cochrane has returned to the game
in gallant, but foolhardy effort to
help the Tigers finish second in the
American League race, and, according
to veteran members of the Chicago
White Sox, is in no condition to be
playing.
Cochrane caught against the White
Sox not so long ago when the tempera-
ture was 101 and younger and stronger
men were whiting under the killing
heat. Finally, in the seventh inning,
Jimmy Dykes. one Of Mickey's oldest
and nearest friends, insisted that
Cochrane leave the game. Get the
hell out Of here. DO you want to
kill yourself?" snarled Dykes, and
Mickey consented to leave the field.
Unable to play his best, but giving
a display Of great gameness, Cochrane
has become a target for abuse of the
Detroit fans. The same fans who last
Fall made Mickey a civic hero when
he led the Tigers to their first world
championship. The same fans who
also hooted Charlie Gehringer, one
of the greatest stars in the major
leagues today.

~HILDREN of Washington came
out to play in the streets
again today. Housewives gos-
siped again on the front
porches. Men walked fearlessly. The
last first-division club the Nationals
will have to meet until they hit the
road has left town and the AS are
among us again.
Well, maybe the Yankees, Indians,
White Sox and Tigers don't quite
scare the kids off the blocks and send
the women of Washington rushing
for the house, but as the Nationals
review their fortunes and look for
ward to a big week end they, at least,
might well breath sigh of relief at
the passing of the Tigers.
For team that today finds itself
with foothold on the first division
again, Washington has campaigned
somewhat short of sensationally
against the teams it should beat to
earn this kind of a rating. Despite
the verdict they gained over the IT,
gers yesterday in their series finale,
81, the Griffs are far behind their
first-diHsion contemporaries for the
season.

TINE jaunt down the stretch in
the National League still seems
to be something of hoSs race,
= what with the hot breath of
the Cardinals and Cubs still on the
Giants collective necks In the Ameri-
can League, of course, everything's
been over for long time except the
shouting, and while there is nothing
unusual in this condition, in itself, it's
funny that year after year the same
thing happens and American League
club owners do not take steps to
tighten up their own race.
For an uncanny number Of
consecutive campaigns now the
National League has been need
ing an electric eye to determine
the pennant winners, while In
viii Harridge's loop the leaders
have been spending their Sep
TENDERS going through the mo-
tions and looking forward to the
world series.
Needless to say, 1t does not help to
maintain interest in the American
League and the fact that club owners
do nothing about it would indicate
(a) a fine spirit Of don't-give-a-hoot
for gate receipts, or (b) a spirit Of
selfishness that some day may back
fire in the faces of the American
Leagues swivel-chair brigade.

Needs Complete Rest.

A GAINST Chicago Cochrane made
two bad throws to second and
had a passed ball, which was all that
was necessary to make the fans for
get his former greatness.
1t is obvious that nothing short of
a long and complete rest will restore
Cochrane's health, and he cannot get
that while attempting to manage and
play. His return to- the Tigers was
mistake, and there are several play
ers who doubt if the fiery Scotchman
ever will be able to play regularly
again. Cochrane may not be able
even to act as bench manager, for
he is of such nervous temperament
that he might sacrifice more energy
in q non playing role than he does
on the field. There are such players.
Iris Speaker used to say he never
wanted to be a bench manager, for
the strain was greater than when he
was leading a team on the field.
The Tigers must be thoroughly re-
organized to be pennant contender
in 1897 and Cochrane is making plans.
Hank Greenberg may be tried in the
outfield to protect his twice-shattered
arm and in that case Cherokee York,
now with Milwaukee, will be used at
first base. Gil English may be brought
back from Toledo for another trial
at third base and sprightlier short
stop than Bill Rogell is needed.
Simmons Seen Through"
CINCE it is rather certain that AL
~ Simmons no longer can support
center field in championship style,
chester Laabs, another Milwaukee
product, may get the position. Laabs,
playing only his second season Of
professional base ball, Is one of the
star hitters of the American Asso-
citation and a fast fielder. 1t also may
be necessary to replace Goose Goslin,
although the old honker has way of
defying time. If Cochrane is unable
to catch regularly, new backstop
will be needed to help Ray Hayworth
and Glenn Myatt, and George Teb-
belts will be brought up from Beau
mont for that assignment. Tebbetts
is a lively youngster and highly re-
parded down in the Texas League.
Cochrane will have plenty of work
as manager and vice president OF the
Tigers without attempting to catch
regularly. Chances are he may take
an occasional turn back Of the plate.

T0WED

NEW YORK, July 23.-Rudy
vallee is about to- take a new
wife, according to the New York
Daily Mirror in a copyrighted
story today.
She will be Neila Goodelle,
beautiful NBC singer and pianist,
who recently captured the
famous crooner's heart at the
Texas Centennial. He has already
proposed, according to close
friends, and the next announce
ment will tell of their marriage.
Neila and her mother, who
have flown north from Dallas,
will spend the weekend at Rudy's
camp, Kezar Lake, Lowell, Me-,
at his invitation-and the week
end may be the prelude to the
wedding.
Rudy commented more freely
on her than he ever has on his
rumored fiancees, when he said
yesterday:
"It'S true that we like each
other q great deal. and that /
enjoy Miss GOOdelle'S company
very much"
The Vagabond Lover would
neither deny nor affirm reports
of the. approaching marriage.
The couple met two weeks ago
at Dallas. Miss GoodelIe was sing
ing with Freddie Martins band
at the hotel where Rudy stayed
during his engagement.
Rudy saw her, and heard her,
as he dined one night. He sent
a note by a waiter to invite her
to his table. She came, and he
was captivated.
Friends say Lawrence Sclwab,
the producer, has agreed to star
the pair in a musical comedy in
the fall.
Rudy has been busy denying ro-
mances ever since his divorce from
Fay Webb, and the settlement Of
their alimony squabble. But so
far, he's not denying this one.
