BOMBARDIER ON
WILLARD'S TRAIL
He's Much Heavier and Strong-
It
er Now, .He Says; Bat
What About His
Jaw? .
n English patron of boxing sug
gests that Bombardier Wells would be
able to give Willard a good fight now
and adds: t
"I think Billy Wells would give a
real battle to the champion now, for
the Bombardier has improved in many
ways, being heavier and stronger
about the body, something he lacked
when he was in New York fighting
the fellows."
It will be gratifying to learn tlfat
tne Bombardier is ceavier and stronger
about th hnHv hiif fhaf information
act condition of the oorcelain iaw that
Wells brought with hint to this coun
try and which cracked every time an
American heavyweight, landed on it.
If Wells is stronger , and heavier
about the jaw send him along and he
will doubtless get a match with Ful-,
ton, Weinert, (Reich or some others
who are not so strong about the
heart as they might be. f
Huggins Has Big,
Boost for Scout
Signed byv Browns
i V
Miller. James Huggins, former man
ager of the Car di mis, now leader of
the New York Yankees in the Ameri
can league, is out with a big boost
for Eddie Herr, the scant, who un
earthed several stars for the Knot
Holers, and was signed tn a one
year contract by, the frowns. .
The"" Browns made a 10-strJke
when they landed Herr," said Hug-
gins. I considerhim one of the best
' judges of young .Ball players in the
business. I was associated, with him
long enough and think I ought to
know something. I think it ;s no more
than right that I should say some
thing in his behalf.'
Herr signed with the Cardinals de
spite the fact 'that he had several
flattering offers from other clubs. He
left the employ of the Knot-Holers
at the termination of 'his contract on
October 15. Bob Connery, the other
scout fof the Cardinals in 1917, has
'aone to Neny York with Huggins. 1
DOUGLAS HAS NEW
AMBITION: MERELY
TO BEAT OUT ALEX
0 ' '.
, Pitcher Phil Douglas of the Chi
cago Cubs has a new ambition. He
has concluded that Uncle Sam has
done a good job of patting the dis
tilleries out of business anyhow. So
he is going to direct his, efforts to
ward something else. Shuffling Phil's
new ambition is nothing less than to
show he's as good as Grover Alex
ander by winning 30 games of ball
next year.
He says the good work he did in
the latter part of the 1917 season was
only a starter, and, under the spur of
ambition, feels convinced that he has
good chances to land in the Alexander
class. At any rate, that will be his
goal, and ifcjvill be up to the big hit
ters next season to take him serious
ly jsto, account when busy boosting
their own averages. '
"Give me back the last two or three
yejstfs of my life and I would be the
greatest pitcher in the game," Doug
Jas is reported to have said recently.
"I realize my mistake and certainly
am glad that I took the course I did
this summr.
"I feel like a different fellow and
now love to play the game. .Within
the. last three months I have learned
more about pitching than I ever knew
before, and figure -that I am a better
pitcher by 50 per cent. , It never oc
curred to me to use a curve ball and
the other stuff I posses. -1 did
not think I needed it, but I discovered
one dav that I had a Rood curve ball
and that it added to my effective
ness. . - ' v
Indiana Students Charter
Special Train to Combat
Supporters o'f the Indiana univer
sity foot ball eleven plan to charter
a-special train .to carry them to the
Indiana-Ohio state foot ball game to
be played in Indianapolis on Novem
ber 3. The students and alumni head
ed by a band, are arranging to pa
rade the streets before the game. The
success of the parade before the Tufts
game last season proved the possi
bilities of such a demonstration this
year.

W. Johnson Fanned 186
Batters in Past Season
Walter Johnson, by striking out 186
batsmen over the stretch of the 1917
American league season, is the only
National to gain a top honor in any
endeavor in the Ban Johnson circuit
Walter had the field practically -to
himself in this phase of the base ball
art. Babe Ruth of the Red Sox, the
runnerup, was 50 sb,y of Jhe Wash
ington twirlejr't mark.
Outside of Johnson. Sam Rice
brought the most pftstige to the
Griffithian clan. Rice came within a
point of getting In the select .300 bat
ting class and swiped 39 bases to
finish tenth on the list of leading
thievers. .
The Nationals' showing- in- team
fielding and batting proved the fact
that 'they had to get mighty good
pitching in order to wm games. They
are tied with the Yankees for the tail
end berth -tn club batting with 231
and are ahead of only the Browns in
defensive work at .961.
Rube. Refuses to Be Boss;
Will Quit the Game Instead
The report sent out from Oakland
that Rube Gardner would manage the
Shreveport team in the Texas league
next season will have4o be revised.
Gardner now comes out with a state
ment that he has decided to quit
base ball. He will play with an in
dependent team occasionally during
the winter in Oakland, but his main
efforts will be devoted, to making a
living" in dome other way.

OOOd. ' V ;
The will be interesting tOTitfte Just
how the Cards fare being bossed by
a president-manager. That scheme
has always been a failure. The Brook
lyn club tried it many years ago, '
with disastrous results. -
Is was back in the days when the' ,'
Brooklyn team played aflastern park'
in East New York. Charles H. Eb-'
bets was then the secretary and gen
eral handy man of the club. The
team was without a manager and b
bets was told by the ,late vCharley
Byrne, then the biggest stockholder
in the club, to go ahead and boss thi , .
team. t v ,
Ebbets took actual charge. He-tat
on the bench with hislayers and
directed everything. But tner was
quite a little about the actual playing
of the game that Charley did not
know, and some of the old heads on
the team took advantage of it to make
him sick of his job in short order. .".
He was tickled to death when he re
ceived word from Byrne that he heed
not go down on the bench any longef
as a regular manager had been se
cured. Ebbets often admitted that '
the players got away with tricks that
convinced him that his best place in
base ball was in the office and not on
the field. ' t , ,
Rickey, of course, unlike Ebbets,
has been a ball player. But even that
does not nuke, it at all sure he will' .
be a success in his dual role. Fred
Tenney one time tried to playtw0
roles with the Boston National league
club. Besides being the manager of
the team, Fredt also was loosing out
fo? everything in connection with the
office and of the club. It is needless
to say that Fred was a failure. , ,
It used to be said that the actual
manager bf the Chicago White Sox V
was Charley Comiskey. They said
that even, in the days when. FieWer
Jones was the leader of the Sox. They
said it again wheri Commy . picked
Rowland, a bush leaguer, to lead his
costly ball team.
It was maintained that Commy did
not have to bother hiring a high-class
manager, because himself and Eddies
Collins were on the job to show the
"manager" just what should be done.
But since Rowland landed the Sox
in the world's series, the talk that he
is only a figure head has died .out al
most entirely, although there are still
many who maintain that Collins is
the real directing Jorce of the Hew
world's champions. ' ' ,
