AMERICAN BOY MAGAZINE
COMPANION TO THOUSANDS

Hundreds of thousands of boys and
young men read THE AMERICAN
BOY Magazine every month and con-
slider it more as living companion
than as magazine.
otis as much buddy to me as my
neighborhood chum," writes one high
school senior. "THE AMERICAN
BOY seems to understand a boys
problems and considers them in such
sympathetic and helpful way. 1t
gives advice and entertaining reading
on every subject in which young fell
low is interested. 1t is particularly
helpful in sports. I made our school
basketball team because of playing
tips I read. in THE AMERICAN
BOY"
Many famous athletes in all sports
credit much of their success to help
full suggestions received from sports
articles carried in THE AMERICAN
BOY Magazine, Virtually every issue
offers advice from famous coach or
player. Football, basketball, track,
tennis, in fact every major sport is
covered in fiction and fact articles.
Teachers, Librarians, parents and
leaders of boys clubs also recommend
THE AMERICAN BOY enthusiastic
cally. They have found that as a
general rule regular readers of THE
AMERICAN BOY advance more rap
idly and develop more worthwhile
characteristics than do boys who do
not read it.
Trained writers and artists, famous
coaches and athletes, explorers, scien-
lists and men successful in business
and industry join with an experienced
staff to produce in THE AMERICAN
BOY, the sort of reading matter boys
like best.

BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

In order to give Roy Zimmerman
and Bob Seymour more experience
under pressure, Coach Ray Flaherty
will break up his all-rookie backfield
combination Sunday at Pittsburgh if
the Steelers afford the Redskins the
same opposition they have shown in
all four of their league starts.
Usually worked as a group with
the only other two rookie backs on
the squad, Bob Hoffman and Ray
Hare, Zimmerman and Seymour will
be paired with Frank Filchock and
Sammy Baugh, respectively, unless
the game develops into a runaway
for the Redskins. If it does, the
offensive will be turned over to the
freshman quartet, with "Zim" in
command.
Flaherty is conscious, however,
that all four rockies need lot more
experience in league competition,
and for that reason will not hesitate
to insert them singly to get it.
Under such an arrangement. both
Zimmerman and Seymour would run
from the tailback spot with Filchock
and Baugh calling signals from the
No. position. Hoffman and Hare
would, as they have already. 60 in
as blockers in any combination
where the occasion arose.
Steelers' Defense Good.
Although the Steelers' offensive
record isn't so hot, they will hold
an edge on the Redskins defensively
when they line up at Forbes Field
five days hence. Weekly league
statistics revealed today that four
opponents had averaged less than
nine points against the Pittsburghs,

Lucky When He Missed
MocPhoiI With InkweII

One time Leland Stanford Mac
Phail, then operating his famous
brain in behalf of Cincinnati, fined
Derringer heavily for losing a ball
game he thought he should have
won. That was too much for Paul.
Losing ball games is bad enough for
a guy who likes to win. To be fined
for losing them-nossir.
He sought an interview with the
Brain Mr. MacPhail. owner of a
powerful temper himself, lashed Paul
with his tongue from behind his
desk. His words were sharper prob
ably than he realized. Suddenly
Derringer snatched up an inkwell
and let fly at his employers cele-
brated noggin. The missile missed
by an inch, and MacPhail turned
pale
Holy smoke, PAUL" he said. you
might've killed mel"
That's what I was a-figgering to
do" snapped Derringer.
Mr. MacPhail Cancelled the fine,
gave Paul a bonus for missing him,
and bundled him out of the Office.
Another time, out of hours, Der
ringer landed punch on the chin Of
citizen who bearded him. Sub
poenas pursued him here and there
for a couple of seasons thereafter,
and at one period the Reds had to
unload Derringer from their train
before crossing the line into New
York State. The business was settled
out of court.

ment, but as Tom "Reddy" Quill,
veteran of Al years, stood on the
platform in ceremonies yesterday,
the strains of Let Me Call You
Sweetheart broke out among his
100 fellow workers.
Reddy, at IS, still holding the
tint in his hair that gave him his
knickname when he was an out
fielder and later manager of the old
Shamrock A. C. in the late COS, is
a slender, nimble double for Connie
Mack and to hear the tales of his
associates of the old SWampoodle
days, he was just as shrewd.
Sent Two to Majors.
The Shamrocks from about 1896
to 1905 served as the springboard
to professional ball and many
sandlot star that played under
Reddy moved on to the money ranks.
At least two got to the major
leagues.
Jacob Atz, outfielder, later with
Chicago's Hitless Wonders, and
Charley Moran, an inflelder who
captained one of Georgetown's best
mines, both played on Quill-piloted
teams. Moran played for Washing
I,,o from the old
sandlot outfit.
But the ballplayer who was the
apple of Toms eye" recalls Herbert
Grimes, lifetime friend of the vet
eran, "was Jack Handiboe, third
baseman, who moved up to Bir-
mingham in the old Southern
League" Quill touted Handiboe as
the greatest sandlot ball player he
ever saw, and believes if he hadn't
met with a fatal accident while
under contract to the Southern
League team, would have become
one of the majors greatest.
Piloted Many Stars.

Georgetown U. athlete and one-time
president of Laurel race track;
George Kelly, doc" Harlow, Jack
Leonard, Frank Cleary and Frank
Norcum, to name few, were stars
with the Shamrocks under the guid-
ance of Reddy Quill.
AS for the future, Reddy just hopes
to enjoy life keeping up with sports
of the times and maybe take fling
at umpiring," but at any rate he
won't sit at home because when
asked if he was glad to be retiring,
he snapped back-"sure, but my
wife'S not"
