f . é Dr. King’s Pills | é e 4 MAY BREAK YOUNG'S ‘RECORD. OF 23 YEARS IN GAME BY BILLY EVANS Cy Young had pitched 23 years when hé retired frcm the major leagues. Young's career is a record for ser- vice 2s a hall player. It has never been seriously threatened. A contender for the honors held by Young locms up in the person of Pitcher Jack Quinn of the Boston Red Sox. Quinn, it will be remembered, fig- ured in the recent deal between New York and Boston, which sent him to the Red Sox, and brought Pitchers Jones and Bush as well as Shortstop Scott to New York, When Quinn reports to the Red Sox next year he will be stérting on his 20th year of prqfessional baseball. That would make him appear old in} the point of years, yet he is only 36 years of age. Quinn made his professional debut with Connellsville of the Pennsylvania State League in 1903. He remained | with that team through the season of 1906. The following yea@he was with Ma- con in the South Atlantic League. In 1908 he was with Richmond in’ the Virginia League. That fall through the medium of | ‘the draft he was secured by the New York American League club. As a big leaguer Quinn met. with | varying success. .He managed to stay in. the big show until the fall of 1912, when he was sent to the Rochester club of the International League. Federal League Signs Him. His good showing in 1913 with Ro- chester, when’ he won 19 vietorfes, | © caused him ‘to be grabbed off by the Federal ‘League in its quest for play- ers. He labored for two years at Bal- timore in’ the outlaw organization, < Wien the peace pact was put over he was sent to Vernon in the» Pacific Coast League. He stayed*there for the seasons of 1916, 1917 and part of 1918.. When the coast league closed because of the war, Quinn. finished the season: with ‘the Chicago White Box. The New York American League club claimed the right to his services under the peace pact. The national commission awarded him to:the Yan- Kees. He reported -to the New York club in 1919 and has been with the Yankees ever since. Next year he will wear a Red Sox uniform. Quinn has an excellent chance to better the record of Cy Young. He! has stilt enough stuff. to get. by in the majors for a ccuple of years, and ought to be ablé to fool them in the minors for that length of time, Jack Quinn has an excellent curve ball, despite the fact that he has-never made much use-of it. His curve ball is good enough to fool a.lot‘of them.’ an the effort tq break ‘the record held by Young the Yankee pitcher is being given a tussle by Babe Adams of. Pittsburg. * Adams started at Parsons, in ‘the Missouri Valley Leagué, just a. year later than Quinn, and will be starting his 19th year in the spring when he reports to the Pirates. Other pitchers who have seen long service are Red Ames, with 19 years to his credit. and Eddie Plank with 18. \ -ALTROCK TELLS OF / GAMES FUNNIEST PLAY BY NICK ALTROCK, - I have seen so many fhnny things | on the ball field that it is hard for me to pick out the worst bit of foolish- ness. : Usually when something furny hap- pens on the ball fiel, a bone-headed play is the basis for it. That was the situation in the fun- niest stunt I ever saw pulled. ~ However, I didr't dare laugh about ! it until the game was Over. | It was a near-tragedy for Clarke Griffith, who | was then managing the team. At the} time. ‘he was ready to murder the! umpires in charge. It was staged in Chicago. Wash- ington was playing the White X and the score-Was close. It looked} as if the ball game would be decided by a cne-run margin, as both pitchers; were working smooth With.two men out, Frank.

As Ellerbe rounded third and was half way to the plate, he suddsily turred, and raced to his. position at ort, passing Gharrity on the base lines. The umpires ruled Gharrity out fer pi ng a base runner. It was a“very technical decision, byt it went, derpite about 10 minutes of protesting on the part of Griffith. Gharrity was ‘cred:ted with only .a two-base hit. We won the game 5 to 4, I believe, so had plenty of, laughs over it that evening. However. it nev- was funny to’ Eddie Gharrit: ‘ + ‘His cluy owner knew it. Kerr was sent to Chicago on the approval basis. It was felt that he would “flivver” and soon be back in dear, old Milwaukee.

Glenn KiNinger, the sensation of the fcotball wofld last season, is au- other example of the theory that size doesn’t mean a great deal, Killinger had the hardest time imaginable getting his high school ccach to even let him don a football suit,.

THREE ODD HAPPENI Clyde Milan has been made man- ager of the Washingfon team of the American League. A year ago at this tile Clyde Milan had no thought of ever managing a major leagug ball club. He admits that himself. + ° “Opportunity, knocked at Milan’s door in a most peculiar manner. Three very peculiay happenings are respon- sible for his appointment as manager. George McBride was manager of the Washington team Jast year. He was doing a very good job of it. One day, | While batting, grounders to the in- | fielders, he was struck over the eye by_a thrown ball: from the outfield. The injury. forced McBride out of the game for two weeks. It was nec- essary that’ the club have. a tempor- ary leader. Clyde Milan and Walter Johnson_areé the two veterans of the team. Walter had no desire to man- age, the job fell to Clyde. Was Milan successful as a tempor- arymanager? He certainly was. Un- der his. direction the club won 11 Straight ball games, and was promi- nently mentioned as a pennant cor- tender. The day McBride returned to the team the club lost. The injury to McBrido was happen- ing No. 1, the winning of the 11 games was happening No. 2. It was No.3, however, that . convinced . President. Griffith that Milan..was worthy of a chance as Manager. s Detroit was playing in Washington. It had been customary for Heilman to bat third in the lineup, Veach hitting just back of him. On. this. day, a change was made in the batting or- der, Heilman was placed fourth in the lineup, but neither he nor Veach were notified of the change. Heilman came up in the first inning in the third position, and made one of the longest hits ever seen on- the Washington park; the ball almost clearing the ieft field fence. It struck high up in the extreme end of the bleachers in left.center. It was a ter- rifie wallop. Milan had scanned the Detroit bat; ting order as he gave the umpire the Washington lineup. As the ball hit in the bleachers Milan ran up to the home plate. He conferred with the umpire, shcwed that Heilman had batted ‘out of order, which caused the NGS GAVE MILAN HIS ~ CHANCE AS MAJOR MANAGER 5 CLYDE MILAN: official jo declare each, the proper batsman, out, "erasing Heilman’s home run.

The staid old gentlemen of lettérs at the Harvard Graduate School of Education rubbed their eyes when the “kid” entered and declared his inten- tion to take a course in psychology with the view to acquiring ‘a degree tof Ph. D. |\ The “kid” looked anything but an intellectual and’ they regarded him sympathetically. For <the “kid” has the physiognomy of the lumber camp and the prize ring. | It took considerable explaining be- fore the old gentleman grasped the ‘situation. “Kid” Wedge was born and reared in the lumber region of Wisconsin. His father died when he was a baby. He has fought his own way in the world since he was- five. When. he was 20, he left the woods and ‘entered the prize ring 4n Wis- consin. He fought 70 fights and: lost but three of. them. Then came the great-event and the turning point of his life. He met the woman who later was to become his wife. She was a doctor's daughter and a university graduate. The “kid” found in her inspiration. She taught him the ‘difference in the brute force of .the woods and the intellectua) {force of the brain.

But. the “kid” is not the quitting kind. So he took his wife and son to El Paso where he fought the hard- est fight of his life—the fight against death. He won. Then he went to Arizona where he completed his edu- cation and received ‘his degree of A.B. After that he became principal of the Benson, Arizona, high, school whére he remained until he resigned to come east to study at Harvard. He started east on the day after New Years with $10 in his pocket. He rode in an impromptu fashion in the “side-door: Pullmans” and ar- rived in Boston’ with 38 cents, “There is no excise for the poorest boy in the United States going with- out an education,” says Wedge. The “kid” will take up educational work at the completion, of his course. WEDGE Jack Bentley, star of the Baltimore | team of the International League, has tired of a minor league berth. Bentley, who is the Babe Ruth and then some of the minors, wants to {get a.chance to show his: talent. in I the big leagues. It is understood that he has de- livered an ultimatum to Jack Dunn, owner and manager of the Baltimore club, that he is through with the “bushes.” ( At the recent meeting of the major leagues in New York, Dunn was reported as refusing an offer of $50.000 for Bentley’s services. Knowing that he is_in such de- that he has played in the minors leng enough. Dunn who has re- fused to sell any; of his’ stars‘to the |- najor leagues, may. refuse to con- | “wer play faster football in ‘the sider the proposition. If he does, Bentley in all probabil- | ity will take his case to Judge Lan dis, who is a staunch supporter of the proposition: that no player shall be hindered in his desire to. advance. Bentley unquestionably would star in either the American or National League. He is a player of the George Sisler tvve. A left-hander, who, aside from being a great pitcher, is a fine first baseman. : Here is what Bentley did in the Internationa} last year: He led the league in hitting with an average of AWE PRELIM FIGATERS ARE Ror tTteD int CHAMPS JUST BRUSH WAGAT TATOLGH BY ROY GROVE Busted noses, cauliflowered . ears, wise managers, Leo.
