THIS Ufcfci: OMAHA. SUNDAY. AUGUST 21. 1921. Base Ball J if fij 1 Obscure Player Often Has Made Best Grid Coach Yost, Zuppke, Heisman and Other Successful Mentors Were Not Brilliant as Players. By WALTER ECKERSALL. With a number of foot ball squads scheduled to start practice early next month, few changes have been made in. the coaching departments. For the most part, mentors who have had charge of the dc v e 1 o p m ent of elevens in recent years will again blow their whistles for the men to assemble on the opening practice days. In the western conference only one change has been made. Wil liam ("Lone Star") D i e t z, uowiiu' zuri'Jit. who learned an j his foot ball un der Glenn ("Pop") Warner at the Carlisle Indian school, will coach at Purdue. Since he left the Indian in stitution Dietz has coached with success at several institutions, in eluding Washington State. During the war he dcvelo'pcd elevens at Mare Island?", Where Coaches Come From. The Big Ten coaching staffs are made up of four men who. learned their foot ball at Yale, the same number who played at Wisconsin, while Dietz is a product of the Car lisle school and Yost of Lafayette. McDevitt of Northwestern, Stagg of Chicago, Dr. Williams of Minne sota and Howard Jones of Iowa learned their foot ball at Old Eli. Zuppke of Illinois, Richards of Wisconsin, Stiehm of Indiana and Wilce of Ohio State obtained their insight into the game at the Badger institution. While some of these mentors were recegnized as per formers of the first water during 1 r Sun Put "Zip" In Tennis Balls New York. Aug. 20. (Special.) In one of his recent matches at Sea bright William M. Johnston made some very wild drives. "Did you see those drives?" asked Johnston in his dressing room afterwards. "Well, it was the balls. Never in my life have I ever known balls display such sur prising resiliency. A tap and they traveled the length of the court. What do you think was the matter with those balls? They are the live liest I ever played with. It was then that the explanation dawned upon everyone present. The boxes of new balls were exposed to the sun. They had basked in its warmth like turtles on a log and the heat had so expanded the gas that it is a wonder that Johnston got any of his shots down short of the back stops. Anyway, it shows that vari able form may be accounted for by a lot of things over which players have no control. their playing days, others were not so good. Foot ball is a sport in which the best player does not always make the most successful coach. Yost Never Great Player. Yost of Michigan never was con sidered a truly great preformer dur ing his playing days at Lafayette. But he has made such a close study of the game that he is now looked upon as one of the leading mentors in the country. The same is true of Zuppke when he attended Wiscon sin. The Illinois mentor has a thorough knowledge of the game and .above all, possesses the happy ability to instill his ideas into others. On the other hand, some great players have made good as coaches. Hugo Bezdek, fullback on Chicago teams in the early 1900's, has had remarkable success, especially in his present berth at Penn State. Hugo was a student of the game during his playing days and never over looked an opportunity to digest in structions given any member of his team. John Heisnian nevcr was a really brilliant player when he was at Pennsylvania. He broke into fame as a coach, at Georgia Tech, and his alma mater after some years re alized his worth and called him to Penn, where he again will be in charge this autumn.

Detroit Star Does Not Feel Equal to Rebuilding Team Next Year. Advent of Tricky Australian Golfer Causes Many Freak Shots And Oddities to Be Recalled New York, Aug. 13. (Special.) Ed Sullivan says that the advenf of Australian Joe Kirkwood and his kitful of assorted trick shots has set the eastern golf area abuzz with reminiscences of freak shots that have occurred on local and semi-local courses during the past few years. Grizzled old pros and veteran amateurs alike are scraping their memories for golf oddities they have witnessed. Recently, at the Siwanoy club, where the metropolitan open was played, a group of old-timers were discussing Kirkwood's wizardry with the clubs. One ventured the opinion that the Australian player was the greatest trickster the game has ever known. It was a bitter pill for these veterans to swallow, this admission that the halcyon days of yore had failed to produce the equal of the Antipodean marvel, but the asser tion gained the assent of them all. One pro recalled Willie Anderson, four-time winner of the national open, as the first really expert trick player. Anderson, now deceased, startled the golfing world upon his arrival in this country by playing balls off the necks of bottles and the faces of watches. The clever Scot alternated these exhibitions by play ing mashie shots into a given cir cle or area and whenever he played at a course he was always compelled to show his wares to an admiring audience. He was the predecessor of the Australian. ; Since his time several trick play ers have attained prominence. Mac Donald Smith, brother of the veteran Aleck, who is now playing sensa tional golf on the Pacific coast, was one of these. MacDonald on one occasion, was playing with Henry J. Topping at Apawamls. He wagered he could play his second shot, a full iron, to the green and within 10 yards of any spot on it that Topping would designate. Topping agreed; one of the caddies was sent ahead to place his hat on. the green, and Smith dropped his ball directly into it. On another occasion Smith, after finishing a round at Greenwich, was sitting ctfi the piazza when a friend ly argument developed as to his ability to loft a 'mashie-niblick shot as high "as the eagle adorning the flagpole adjacent to the clubhouse. Teeing his ball 20 'yards from the base of the pole, Smith essayed the feat and on the very first attempt hit the wooden bird. Gene McCarthy, pro at the Jack sonville (Fla.) club, was playing with a member, and at one of the short, blind holes on the Jackson ville course when he drove, and his high mashie pitch hit a crow cir cling aloft and became imbedded in its wing. The crow floundered awk wardly under the added weight, fi nally nose-diving to earth far ahead. Despairing of finding the bird or his ball, Gene drove a second over the hill in the general direction of the green. His opponent then teed up and also got off a pretty shot. "What was our surprise on reach ing the green," continued McCar thy, "to find the crow dead on the lip of the hole and the three balls in the cup. Apparently, when the poor rascal dropper, the ball in its wing came free and tumbled in, and then as the other balls rolled toward the pin they carooned from the dead body into the hole, too." Athletic Contests Between Colleges With Summer Schools Proposed Detroit, Mich., Aug. 20. Tyrus Cobb will not manage the Detroit Tigers next year. This has been just about settled by Cobb him.self, whether President Navin makes a move toward getting a new manager or not. Cobb signed a one-year con tract and it will take a lot of per suading on the part of Navin to in duce him to continue the agreement. The Tigers must be completely re built, and it is understood Cobb does not feel equal to the task and at the same time maintain his playing abil ity. The team has fallen off in hit ting in a year when hitting is about the cheapest thing on the market; it is weak on defense and mediocre on the bases. The infield needs bolster ing and the pitching staff must be improved. Without wholesale changes Detroit will be lucky to finish in the first division next year and is prac tically doomed to the second division this season. Walter Johnson's Strikeout Record of 2,775 Has Been Beaten By Other Pitchers Jabez White and Solly Epstein have been matched to appear in a 10-roundT on the same card with Bryan Downey and Johnny Wilson at Tex Richard's Jer sey City bowl on Labor day. Johnson passed that record. Under .the 50- foot distance many famous strike out kings flourished. Amos Rusie was the big noise among the right banders, while Tom Ramsey ex celled all southpaw hurlcrs. Neither reached the 2,000 mark, although both had a high yearly average. Has Second Wind. Christy Mathewsen, Eddie Plank, Waddell, Johnson, Young and Tim Keefe are the only hurlers who have fanned 2,000 batsmen or more. Grover Alexander, Ames Rusie, Tony Mullane and John Clarkson are close to the 2,000 mark. -Clark-sort lacked only 16 points. There is no doubt but that Walter Johnson will reach the 3,000 mark. Seem ingly the great hurler has regained his second wind and may go on for a number of years, in fact, .he can make the point in two seasons. Many Track Receipts Cover Britons' Expenses The recent track meet between Harvard and Yale opposed to Cam bridge and Oxford was a big suc - :ess financially. There was 7,700 tickets disposed of. The Harvard management guaran teed the Britishers $8,000 for their appearance in the stadium. This ex pense was fully covered by the re teipts and after all the bills are re ceived and receipted there may be a small balance to be' divided between Harvard and Yale, FIELDING YOST. nier publication.. With the rapidly increasing size of the summer schools in universities of the middle west, serious considera tion has been given the idea of summer Intercol legiate athletics, or the formation of a summer athletic league among the universities that are offering courses in coach ing and physical education. First to inaugu rate this idea was the Wolverine, the University of Michigan's sum The idea then was discussed at Wisconsin and Illinois, where, in the abstract, it met some approval by the athletic heads of these institutions. At Michigan, Athletic Director Fielding Yost, together with Coaches Steve Farrcll and E. J. Mather have given their approval to the idea. Another Steel Team Unable to Survive The Allegheny Steel team of Tar entum. Pa.,' a little steel town 12 miles from Pittsburgh, has disbanded on account of the present economical situation. The team harbored many players who were jumpers from or ganized base ball and, as in the case of Oil City and Franklin, was a lead ing outlaw team. On the Allegheny roster were Jack Onslow, Bob Gill, Gus Wil liams and Joe Brown, Ty Tyson, Taylor, Elmer Knetzer, Edmondson and a number of other well known players. Among those who have performed with that team are Slim Salee, Bunny Pierce, Munns, Gene Leyden, Muke Watson and Ira Rodgers, fonr West Virginia uni versity star. New Students Furnish Fine Material for Navy Teams Most of the 600 new students at the United States naval academy, Annapolis, have had experience in athletics before entering the institu tion. They are required to give this information upon entering and a ma jority have played base ball, foot ball and basket ball "I have, not had an opportunity to consider the plan definitely, of course," said Coach Yost, " but at first sight it would seem that the scheme is entirely feasible. There are five conference schools which in 1922 will offer summer courses in coach ing Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio State, Chicago and Michigan." "In all of these the theory and practice of coaching in all major branches of sports are taught. Com petition between teams in summer school would aid in instructing the men and probably would increase the interest and spirit of the summer season very much." The fact that Walter teached the remarkable figure of 2,775 trikeouts in 526 games dis tributed throughout 14 seasons does not give that great pitcher the glory of being the strikeout king for all time. There are two hurlcrs who have a record in strikeouts that shade the wonderful work of the Coffyville sensation a few points. Tim Keefe, the holder of the world's record in consecutive victories, and " "Cy" Young have something to say about the strikeout record. Figuring on a basis of percentages, the fnark of Denton Young shouldn't count for it occupied a space of 22 seasons for the great Young to pile up his record of 2,838 strikeouts. Tim Keefe is the real strikeout king for he fanned 2,816 batsmen in 14 seasons, an aver age of 201 a season. Young's aver age is 129 a season and Walter Johnson's is 192 per season. 3,000 Mark Not Reached. But coming to the real strikeout kings two names stand out with a brilliancy that cannot be denied. Tom Ramsey and Edward Waddell are the real strikeout kings when basing their work on a yearly average or an average of so many strikeouts per game. Ramsey leads the world in strikeouts. That great southpaw made a record of fanning an average of 252 batsmen for the six seasons he pitched ball in the major leagues. Waddell in 10 seasosns, fanned 2,301, an average of iiJU per season. No hurler in base ball reached the 3,000 mark in strikeouts. As men tioned, Young came less than 200 points or mat ngure.- .Less than a dozen big league . hurlers have reached the 2,000 mark in whiffing batsmen. In fact, only six have Av. per Name. Date.

Now that Director of Public Safety Cortelyou of Philadelphia has declared that he will not permit Jack Johnson to box Harry Wills or any other man at any of the clubs in Philadelphia, it looks as if Johnson had better give up all ideas of fighting in this coun try. Besides being barred in Phila delphia, the bars are also up against him in the states of New Jersey and New York, where he had expected to make money by battling the big fellows. Evidently the only thing that Johnson can fight now is the windmills.

Heavv Foot Ball Schedules Will Hasten Training Coaches of All Big Universi ties and Colleges Preparing to. Mobilize Players Early. New York, Aug. 20. With some thing approaching a nip in the air the foot ball coaches are beginning to look forward to their early practice, especially as many of the schedules are unusually heavy this year. Pitts burgh usually gets under way a little ahead of most other institutions, go ing ud into the hills for three weeks or so of fundamental drill, so that the Pitt Eleven customarily takes the field a shade more advanced than most teams. This year Columbia will not be far behind. i3uck U Weill, the head coach, will have as, an assistant this season, Joe brooks, who made a reputation at Williams, and is one of the best line coaches in the country. At Williams Brooks iia-l very light material, but he was always able to produce a set of forwards that had a terrific charge. Colunioia also will have in the foot ball menage, Charley Barrett, who for more than 20 years was the trainer at Williams. The project of sending the Yale team to Gales Ferry for practice seems never to have been entertained seriously, or to have fallen through. Yale can develop kickers right in New Haven, however, for in'Dr. Bil ly Bull the Blue has one of the great est kicking coaches in the country. Dr. Bull can be depended upon every year to turn out a couple of long distance punters and at least as many dependable drop-kickers. . . ; Yale, Harvard, Rutgers, Columbia and in fact every college of any standing in the east, seems to have some pet scheme on tap that is giv ing its followers something to talk about.

"Fans are blaming a lot of in- fielders for missing balls that sail over them; they are panning the out fielders for not catching those short flies. "They are not remembering that the outfielders are so far back that it is comparatively simple now for a sliced fly to come down between the outer and inner defenses and hop away for extra bases. "We are so far out yonder that it is almost hopeless to nail a run ner at the plate. I bet there are few er men nabbed at the plate this sea son than ever before." Why Throwing Is Futile. "Yes," chipped in Thomas Grif fith, "and we are getting the razz for not throwing when we would be foolish to throw.
