YWeay —_ —_— World WASHINGTON OU FIELD HAS EDGE GIANTS IN HITTING AVERAGE - ‘WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1924 | Results “| By Leased Wire [ ‘@be Casver Daily Cridune i= Goslin-McNeely-Rice Combination Winds Up Season With .336 Average Against 318 for Giants Outfield. NEW YORK, Oct. 1.—(By The Associated Press).— While the New York Giants enjoy a distant advantage over their world’s series opponents, the Washington Sena- tors, in the infield, quite the reverse is true in the outfield, according to the official for the past season. Cigares The Goslin-McNeely-Rice combination in the Washing- MANLY HERE FOR BiG BOUT WITH PERKINS George Manley of Denver, who ts schedvic? to meet Horvey Perkins, at the Elks Auditoriu on October 6 in a 12 round bout in the Ught heavy- weight class, swung off the rattler at the Q. station this morning and George looks fit. this was the impres- sion’ that a Tiumber of the ardent fight fans got when they gave the Dig battler the double O on his first appearance in Wyoming. Manley has never shown his “stuff” here in Wyoming'and it will be a treat to watch this boy after he pulls over the gloves after the sound- ing of the, initial gong in the first bout of the winter season here. Being o finished boxer from ‘the school of the famous Gibbons Broth- ers—Tom and Mike— of St. Paul, the local fans will no doubt see one of the cleverest boxers that has ever stepped into a local arena. In a recent ivasion of the Pacific coast, Manley mowed down the con tenders for the middlewieght and light heavywe'ghts championships of the coast having taken away form Bert Colma the tittle that he had ton outfield bats at a .336 clip while the. Mousel-Wilson-Young trio—the nearest to any regular array Mc- Graw has had—has an average of but .318. Bach club has a young: ster gandwiched in between two grizzled) veterins, but these two youngsters, McNrely and Wilson, have played senrationally. There is a provabiitty that John McGraw will shift his outfield to- sult the occasion and thus the aver- nges will be juggled up somewhat but the best combination that Mc- Graw can place in the outfield will trail any combination which Stanley Harris can call on. Irish Meusel’s batting slump and the failure of Billy Southworth to come up to expectations caused Mc- Graw to juggle his outer works this season. “Pep" Young, in right field, is the only fixture. Against right handed pitching, McGraw probably will use Wilson in left and George Kelly, regular first sacker, in center. Against southpaw curving, Wilson will be in center and Meuse! in left. Jimmy O'Connell, the $75,000 Pacific coast “beauty,” also is a center fielder eligible. Harris will bank on his regulars but he has one good utility man in Nemo Leibold, who came to the Senators from the White Sox. i FOOTBALL | THE TRIBUNE’S OF SPORTING NE YOU KNOW ME, AL—Adventures of Jack Keefe WS |= By RING LARDNEF U/AUGGiNS SAYS Ol First in News FOUR GOOD BATTLES PROMISED FOR RING CARD HERE ON MONDAY Speedball Hayden and Jack Payne to Appear Tn Semi-Windup to Perkins-Manley Fight; Shirley to Clash With Pat Keener. Three topnotch matches and a four-round preliminary are slated for the opening of the winter boxing season at the Elks auditorium next Monday evening, October 6.

FARRELL. United Press Sports Editor. NEW YORK, Oct. 1.—(United Press).—Cases of personal magnet- ism and inspriing leadership have been common long in college foot- ball. Perhaps it is that a football captain has more opportunity to demonstrate the effect of his powers of leadership than a baseball captain or a hockey captain. Mac Andrich, captain of the Yale football team in 1922, was one of the greatest captains a great football university ever had. There have been others ‘just as capable and as magnetic in other universities, Ald- feared that {t would have the same bad effect that Lu Blues injury had on the Detroit Tigers, but it just speeded up the team more with new spirit and a determination not to fall. Much of the fine results that came from the pitchers was due to the brilliance of Muddy Ruel, the young former New York and Boston Catcher. Ruel always had been re- garded as a promising youngster, but he didn’t hit his stride until this year and he ranks now as the best catcher by far in the American league and perhaps in baseball.

Illinois never played last year like {t did when Red Grange was in thé back field and when the big oppor- tunity arrived Grange went in and the team became inspired. This may seem to have very little to do with the American League pennant race, but it had everything to do with the Washington Senators, Young Buck Harris, twenty-eight years o'd, the most youthful man- ager in baseball put something into a promising club the lack of which had kept it from more distinguished successes. When Harris was appointed man- ager of the club last winter it was breezed around the circuit that Clark Griffith named him because he couldn't get anyone clse to take the job, that he could get Buck for a small salary and get Buck to do everything he told him. It had been common ‘talk that, when Griffith had given up the ac- tive fiela management of the Sena- tors to spend his time in the execu- tive office he still insisted upon hav- ing his say about the management of the team. Ho experimented more with managers than any other own- er in the league and it was generally regarded that he never would have a winning team until he ceased to interfere with the manager. Griffith always denied this and he insisted that in naming young Har- ris to handle the team that he had only the purpose of appointing the best man fitted for the position. In accepting what was looked upon as a thankless job with no chance to last more than a year, American League_ball players sym- pathized with Harris. They thought the burden of management would hurt his game at second base and cut short his time in the major leagues. Harris never had any ‘experience in handling pitchers Iike some of the veteran managers who had gone through long service behind the bat and no one considered the possibility that he would be able to put out a contender for the champtonship. Almost from the start the results of his youthful enthusiasm began to be manifested. Instead of being handicapped by the burden of man- agement, his jndividual game at sec- ond base improved and he inspired the whole team. The Cleveland Indians had failed to live up. to pre-season expecta: tionss The Boston Red Sox stepped out and then blew up. The St. Loufs Browns had a spurt and then fell by the wayside and the Detrolt Tigers were having a lot of trout Right when the hard pressed New York Yankees were looking for a breathing spell and expecting a lull in the hostilities the Washington Pitchers got going and the club mounted easily to the top. “They'll blow just like the Red Sox,” it was eid in w York : playing over ir heads and they can't last.
