WIIKX Manager Trig Speaker of
the Indians blew into Cleve
land the other day for a final
conference with President Barnard
regarding the team before the play
ers begin to trek south the roster
<V the club showed just four mem
ijrs of the great team of 1920 wait
ing for the word to start another
year's grind with the team.
These four were Pitcher Uhle, Out
fielder Charley Jamieson, Shojdstop
Joey Sewell and Manager Spoke Tiim
self. True, George Burns, who played
first part of the time in 1920 Is now
with the club hut he departed for
other fields a couple of years ago and
later rejoined the team.
Of the four who have stood the
test of time Jamieson's case is the
most interesting. In 1919 the Indians
and Athletics cooked up a trade. The
Indians wanted to dispose of Bobby
Roth. The Athletics wanted a slugger.
They agreed to trade I.arry Gardner
and Pitcher Klmer Myers for him.
; The Indians were hesitant. So Connie
Mack volunteered to throw in Out
fielder Charley Jamieson "to boot."
Jamieson had hit for an average of
202 In 191S. His fielding was fair. He
[had never hit .900 with the Mackmen.
or with the Washington club, where
he got his big league start. Tie seem
ed destined to slip out shortly.

IF you can Judge character by fe*'
tures you would naturally s3-'1
that Babe Ruth had a face that
wa« built for eating corn on the cob.
He has the manliest set of ear*
in (he American league. Get a
load of that beezer. It tunia up
like a gummed label. When we
were kids we used to rail that kind
of a nose a "rain-catcher."
Yet, beauty Is only skin deep, and
who' wants to take off the orange
peel and find a lemon? When you
peel Babe you find an IR-karat indi
vidua! who is still a big kid, up *°
his neck in good nature and knee
deep in the fun of living.
He is tlie greatest sensation since
the Spanish Armada laid an egg in
the English channel. He gets $75,
(Mltl a year for waving his lint at
tile fence. lie lias an unrip in To
ledo whose whiskers are so long
and thick that they have To lie pa
trolled by a forest ranger..
Babe started in as a pitcher with
Baltimore and had so much speed
that catchers had to wear smoked
glasses under their masks. Jack
Dunn sold him to Boston. The Yanks
got him when Harry Frazee was ask
ing for bids on Bunker Hill monu
ment.
Frazee did so much to that Bos
ton team that the recent New Eng
land earthquake Is bound to be an
improvement.
Bostob loves Frazee like a canvas
hack loves the Remington Arms com
pany. When a Boston mayor takes
the oath of office he says: "X swear
to uphold the fealty and honor of
the commonwealth, to enforce the
laws ard encourage justice, and hang
Harry Frazee on sight."
However, wliai was Boston's salt

While tlie other players are wast

will find the Babe in the kitchen
with his pillows on (lie hot stove
Hatching the ham and eggs signing

Half tjie people who pay to see
Ruth hope that h» shoots the marble
ever the fence. The other half pulls
for him to strike out. Xfe can miss
a ball harder than anyone else can
hit It.
That's wliat makes him a great
attraction. No matter what he
does, he puts his w hide heart into
it and throws in a piece of liver
for the rat.
The Babe looks like a fat man's
picnic in right field. But he can
cover more ground than a Mississippi

v ou see him sliding into second base
like coal coming down the chute.

The stimulus of the Olympics,

the same record-breaking ease r.t.tt

Nurmi's invasion has caused an
unprecedented boom in indoor track
sport, witli additional international
interest promised by the additional
of Italian, British and Canadian

America's defense of the Davis
