his backfield, although he conced'
ed it would pack plenty of speed.
He was quite sold on young
fellow named Doug Kenna, who
had shown enough to convince the
coach he had an outstanding star
on his hands.
Unfortunately, Kenna had suffer
ed knee injury in practice the day
before, so to us he was just a
sturdy, nice-looking young Cadet
hobbling stiff-legged around the
field in sweat clothes.
We saw a scrimmage that day,
and were quite impressed by one
young man who would take the
ball and dance his way down the
field like tacklers were so many
fence posts. Blaik said the boy
name was Davis-Glenn Davis
but that meant no more to us than
if he had said he was Mortimer
Schultz.
Davis soon became quite a name,
however, despite the fact he had
no Blanchard pulverizing the mid.
die of the line and thus sharing
the attention Of opponents with him.
The team won seven, lost two and
tied one that year.
Last year, with Blanchard on
hand and Kenna ready to 60, the
team really began clicking. It fin
ished the season unbeaten and was
considered something very ultra
ultra until this years team. Then
it became just last years model.
Blaik, fine organizer, gave the
team the system and the training.
He also maintained that one-for-

Begorrah, An The 1914
Kerry Blues Shame Army
Bv WILLIAM TUCKER
United Press Sports Writer

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Shure, and
it was rugged football season
but this blarney about Blanchard
and Davis should be taken with a
slurp of potato stew because the
Army football team couldn't hold
a candle to the Kerry Blues of
1914.
Big John Fleming was pounding
his ample chest in high dungeon,
as he expressed it, over the press
reports labelling Army as the
greatest athletic aggregation of
all time.
Big John, by way of explanation,
is bartender of one of East 42nd
SITS highest class charged-water-
ing spots, it's height being judged
by the fact that it lies practically
at the crest of Murray Hill. He
also is the father of Gordon Elem
ing, the Doc Blanchard of the
future, of whom more anon.
If all this were not enough, Big
John in his youth was closely as
ISOLATED with a form of sport
known as Gaelic football. A
county Galway man himself, he
switched his affections to Kerry
because they had the best team
just like if you lived nj Missouri
and adjoining Illinois was the
reigning pigskin power you would
change your address, or brand, to
champaign.
"Begrorrah," he shouted. ''Imag-
inc having two Doc Blanchards as
fullbacks, both playing at the same
time, and Joe Dimaggio holding
down centerfield. I'm not kidding,
in Gaelic football you have those
positions. Two fullbacks and a
centerfielder. Fifteen men to a
side, 80 in all and when they all
come together you have a fine
broth of a pileup."
Big John then took down the
group picture adjoining the top of
his bar and who should it be but
the Kerry Blues themselves. a
bunch of mustachioed and mar
celled gentlemen whose bulldog
chins belied their tonsorial getups.
Gust look at them" Big John
roared. "Mullings, Skinner, Hea-
ly, Lawlor, O'Connor, Mahony,
Fitzgerald, Collins, Breen, O'Shea,
Mcdonnell, Mccarthy, Doyle and
Murphy"
Everyone a fine free Irishman
Not Pollock in the bunch.
, don't want to offend the citizens
of Warsaw or South Chicago, but
I want to emphasize they were all
irish. Not a United Nations con-
ference like Norre Dame.
"And were they rough? Bejab-
bers, a broken leg was a common
enough wound, and if one of the
Blues suffered one and couldn' t
get up and stomp around through
the rest of the game they went
on without him. No substitutes al
lowed"
At this point, Big Johns son,
Gordon Fleming, walked in and
bummed a quarter off his Pop III
order to buy soda. He shook
hands with him and after we re-
covered consciousness realized
that only about three fingers were
broken.
Gordon. six feet one and 10
pounds, operated for Brooklyn
Tech High school this season and
was named all-New York half
back by as great a plurality as
Roosevelt's in 1896. He has one
more year in High school but al
ready has Is college scholarship
offers to null over.
Shure, and they must have rails
ed mighty men back in Kerry
and they passed on the secret to
the next generation.

most drastic revision of organized
baseball in the history of the game
appeared imminent tonight after
unanimous vote Of the officials OF
the Pacific Coast circuit to at
tain Major league status before
the start of the 1916 season.
Meeting in executive session At
the annual Minor league conven-
ton, the westerners adopted a
resolution to apply for Major
league status.
League President Clarence Row.
land said the action depended upon
approval by Baseball Commits
sioner Albert B. Happy) Chand-
Ter, the two Major leagues and
the National Association Of Minor
leagues.
The Majors must act upon the
application of the Pacific coast
circuit at their own meeting In
Chicago beginning next Monday,
and it was the consensus that it
would be turned down fatty.
However, Rowland pointed out
that there is nothing in the pres
ent Major Minor league agree
ment which stipulates the require
ments by which a league may at
tain status as a major circuit. Nor
is there any clause which pro-
hibits a Major league from own
ing another Major league farm
club, a situation which would de-
velop if the application of the
coast league were approved.
Several Pacific league clubs are
owned outright by Major league
teams and others have close az
filiations.
The Pacific executives also
stipulated in their resolution that
President Rowland and Charles
Graham and Victor Ford Collins
act Immediately to obtain neces-
sary approval.
The club owners will meet in
their first joint session tomorrow
to make final decision on adoption
of the 70-page sheaf Of proposed
constitutional changes.
That the meeting would produce
a large number of deals for play.
ers and managers was foregone
conclusion. Since the close of the
season, 10 minor loops have COM
pleted plans for operation in 1916.
The Majors also were expected
to be represented in the swapping
and selling OF talent. All clubs
are overloaded with players be
cause of the influx of returning
servicemen and it was estimated
that more than half of the men
who kept Major league baseball
alive during its last wartime sea.
son would be shunted off to the
Minors to make way for the re-
turn of G. I. Joe. Every Major
league manager except Connie
Mack of the Philadelphia Athletics
and Leo Durocher of the Brooklyn
Dodgers was on hand.
Although there was no sugges-
ton of shakeup, it was consider.
ed a definite possibility that all
but two or three key players on
the world championship Detroit
Tiger club would be sent to Minor
league farm clubs.
However, some Of the player
deals were expected to be made
on "gentlemen's agreement
basis, particularly as regards
those involving cash, to be com
pleted early next year when re
vision of the tax structure goes
into effect.
