Fined Heavily BY Peck.

EERRELL'S temperament was the
main reason for Cleveland selling
him to Boston at very lew figure.
He was suspended by Roger Peckin-
paugh, then manager of the Indians,
in 1882 and I'm told that cost him
$500. After Ferrell had held out for
several weeks in the Spring Of 1884,
Cleveland decided it could get along
nicely without him and gave Tom
Yawkey the chance to do some worry
ing.
Ferrell's tantrum in New York was
not his first Of the season. Once,
when knocked out Of the box, he
thumbed his nose at spectators and
was disciplined by the Boston club
before the American League could
take any action: note, thumbing being
considered very poor manners by Will
Harridge. Another time. it is re-
lated, that Ferrell refused to continue
in the box unless Cronin stopped a
pitcher warming up in the bull pen
And there have been other instances
that tried the patience Of mild
hammered Cronin.
Were it not for ungovernable tenn
perament, Ferrell would be rated as
one of the great pitchers of his time.
In five of eight seasons in the majors
he has won 20 or more games. No
longer as fast as when he came up
with Cleveland, he is regarded as one
Of the smartest pitchers in the busi-
ness.

You Can't Pat Ego on the Back.

big-hearted Tom Yawkey q tiny per-
centage of the investment in himself,
Joe will rule with the mailed fist.
It's his only hope.
Ever since the million dollar
Red Sox began to fold last May
people have asked the reason.
When Yawkey shelled out and
bought Jimmy Foxx, Roger Cramer,
Eric McNair and Johnny Marcum
from the AS he placed at Cronin's
disposal the greatest collection OF
talent in the American League.
Critics who surveyed the 1896 PEN
nant race saw only two dangers con-
fronting the Red Sox. First they
wondered If Boston had enough pitch
ing to win. Secondly they wondered
If the Red Sox weren't too lavishly
provided with ego and temperament.
On both counts the critics
we're right. No. they didn't split
into couple Of cliques, As freely
predicted.
Worse than that. Boston's gold
plated athletes split into a dozen diff
ferent cliques, each composed of one
player who stamped himself as the
standout and resented the actions OF
the rest. Ferrell provided an example.
To Yves 1t seemed that Wes was the
big shot. He resented McNair not fol-
lowing his suggestion as to where to
station himself for batsmen, for In
stance, and in his moment Of anger
when he stalked of the field at Yankee
Stadium last Sunday, the ego-crammed
pitcher cast a few aspersions at his
shortstop.

Petulant Over Errors.

EERRELL never has learned to ac-
= cept defeat with any sort of grace
and Is petulant when a teammate
makes an error behind him. Mana
gers are hesitant to own such a
player and there may be little market
for Ferrell if Boston elects to peddle
him this Winter.
Jimmy Dykes refused the pitcher
when he held out on Cleveland and
Joe Mccarthy is quoted as saying,
after Ferrells performance of the
other day, that ne was not in the
market for the pitcher. Rogers
Hornsby might be interested, for the
truculent st. Louis manager has a
method all his own Of subduing
temperament.
The fine of $1,000 hung on Ferrell
by Joe Cronin is one of the heaviest
ever imposed on a player by club.

once taxed Babe Ruth $4,000, but the
great George Herman set an all-time

right field line for q two-base hit
that scored both Ben and Buddy for
the final runs of the game.

Reynolds Is Big Cog.
before passing onto the delight

REFoRE passing onto the delightful
- details it is time something was
said about Carl Reynolds, who quietly
and efficiently has been playing right
field for the Washingtons in recent
weeks. Carl has not matched the sem
sational play of Kuhel, Stone and one
or two others during the Griffs' win
ming drive, but he has done such q
workmanlike job that no bouquet
tossing would be complete unless a
bunch of posies were dropped in his
lap.
Reynolds was handed the regular
right field job on August in Wash
ington. At the time everybody was
beating the Mats, even the Athletics.
The team was well down in sixth
place and little hope was held for a
climb. Then it started to click. It
Is significant that the club improved
with the steady, consistent Reynolds
rounding out an outfield composed of
Johnny Stone, Ben Chapman and
himself.
In the 10 games the Griffs have
played since that time-they've won

D valuable .303, scoring a dozen runs
and driving across 13.

through with sparkling plays afield
that helped Newsom over couple Of
bumps. In the sixth inning Knicker-

Vosmik attempted to take third and
was tagged by great throw by Rey-

Last Three Efforts Great.


THE Clevelands scored all their
- runs and half Of their six hits
In the first inning, but Newsom stuck
in the battle to give up only two
singles and a scratch double the rest
of the way, facing only % batters in
the last eight innings. The Gri1s
showed their appreciation by cutting
loose with an 11-hit attack that
drove Thornton Lee from the slab
and forced the Indians to call on
Oral Hildebrand.
Looking back over Newsom's last
three efforts, there is no reason to
wonder why Buck is the toast OF
the Washington firm now. After abb
sorbing five straight beatings and be-
coming persona non grata on a large
scale, Buck reformed in Boston the
middle of this month and beat the
Red Sox, to 2. He allowed only
six hits, gave up only one walk, and
famed five.
His next effort was just as good.
