JOE DUGAN: BASEBALL FUNNY MAN
But HeiImann Once Had Laug h on Him

his usual .240 on the Fourth. That
was one time he had no comeback.
Dugan's love for letter writing
was we'll known. He developed il
steadily. Toward the end OF his
career his notes were famous for
their wit or sarcasm, as his mood
dictated. His classic was addressed
10 his boss at the time, Judge
Emil Fuchs, owner and president
of the Boston Braves. \
The Judge announced in the win
ter that he was adding the duties
Iof bench manager TO his titles. al
the time time engaged the Human
Crab, Johnny Evers, as his coach
The Braves were strictly second
division.
Contract time rolled around, ir
the course Of which, trying to cut
Jumpin' Joe's salary exactly ir
two, the judge wrote MIR. Dugar
letter which in effect read:
"Inasmuch as / personally am
going to manage the Boston
Braves this season, engaging
Johnny Evers as an assistant,
you are assured of slice of the
World Series money, which
should compensate for the re-
duction of salary II Is necessary
to make, ETC., etc"
CANDID REPLY
Well. Mr.. Jumpin' Joseph Du'
gan really jumped on that one
Here's what he wrote in reply:
II am aware, my dear Judge,
of your ability as club presi-
dent and able executive. Also
1 am aware of my few baseball
experiences, and slight knowl-
edge OF the game. I pass them
on to you at no cost. 1t would
be folly to expect slice of the
World Series money, because
YOU, EVERS and the Good
Lord Himself couldn't get that
ball club out of the second d.
vision"
So Joe was on his way again
to make the members of another
club roll on the floor of the club
house in laughter.

3 Men to
Decide
Series

NEW YORK, July 7 CUP).-
Behind the major league scenes
today, a three-man advisory base
ball council was making plans
that may revolutionize conduct of
the classic World Series in Sep
TENDER. Nv M
When Commissioner KereSaw
NJ. Lands, President Ford Frick
of the National League and Presi-
dent Will Harridge of the Ameri-
can League come TO a decision,
the annual diamond extravaganza
may hit the road on an ex-
tended transforming tour.
The big leagues met in separate
sessions yesterday and then pooled
their members for three hours in
joint conclave that produced some
of the stormiest inter-league de-
bates.
The National League favored
the change which would take the
series on tour through minor
league cities on a best S-of-lS
schedule.
The first four or six of the
games would be played in the pen
handwriting cities. Then the
teams would travel.
American League conservatives
did not favor taking the series or
tour, offering, instead, plar
which called for donation of al
receipts, other than expenses anc
the players pool, from the regular
best-of-seven series.
There were no proposals TO cur
tail the number of games OIL
abolish spring training. two moves
which had been expected from
Jack Zeller, general manager OF
the Detroit Tigers. He recently
approved those ideas in a press
statement.
Clark Griffith's request 10 play
remaining games at night was re-
fused.
