A year ago last spring Donle Bush making his debut as manager of the Indianapolis A. A. club took south among other players, a young semi-pro player from Cincinnati. That young chap was Johnny Urban Hodapp. Hodapp was then scarcely seventeen. He had won a reputation as a third baseman for the Norwood team playing in and around Cin- cinnati, The A. A. team had been at thelr Plant City, Fla., camp but a few days when I stopped 'there between big league camps, but Bush was already enthusiastic about the kid. ‘He's the sweetest young in- fielder I’ve seen in years. He'll be up in the majors for a trial at least, within two years,” said Bush. You'll recall that Mr. Bush had con. siderable experience and won his over , 3 . \ share of glory as an {nflelder with the Detroit Tigers. Bush's prediction has come true. The Cleveland Indians now own Hodapp. “And he looks like a great ball player,” says President E. S. Ber- nard of the Indians. “He may need a bit more time but we figure he'll come through in great shape.” Last year, his first in profes sional ball, Hodapp played 38 games at third and 26 at short for the Hoosiers and hit .343. This year he has been hitting well. The Indians gave a fancy price and two ball players for Hodapp. One of the players was Klugman, who had played part of the season at second for the Indians, Klugman was sent to the In- dianapolis club immediately after the deal was closed but Hodapp’s debut as an Indian has been de- layed because of his refusal to re- port without receiving a part of the purehase price. SPORES DONE BROWN The “baby member” of the Eng- Ush tennis stars now competing against A ‘ica’s best in this coun- try, is Miss Joan Fry. She is de- manding & place in the international tennis sun just one year after British officials “ refused her entry for the ‘Wimbledon tour- ney because of her supposedly insufficient skill. There must have been some grim _ satisfac. tion for the young miss in her victory over Miss . Kathleen McKane this season in the matctes at Croyden. Miss MeKane is the English miss who has broken even with Miss Helen ‘Wills in four matches, Then the laugh supreme came when ~ she Played her way through the Wim: bledon tourney this year to the finals, meeting Suzanne Lenglen in the championship round, The latter was, of course, too much for her, Probably the outstanding trait of Miss Fry is her masculine stride {n her play. Her foot work, in its decisiveness, resembles that of a male player, . And speaking of tennis. What a shock the jolly net followers would get were Big Bill Tilden to watch the doubles matches in the Davis Cup play from the sidelines. Yet there is a feeling that such will happen. Little Bill Johnston's vio- tories over Vincent Richards, which gave the California veteran No. 2 Place on the team and the right to play in the singles with Bill Tilden is given as the main reason for the thought that Big Biil may be with- drawn from the doubles, Richards and R. Norris Williams being the men finally selected. Then again, the double team may be composed of Tilden and Richards. Write your own ticket. eee The other day Gene Tunney, one of the leading contenders for Jack Dempsey’s dusty but still secure title, signed an agreement to meet Harry Wills, rival aspirant, this fall, Which gave Wills the greatest opportunity he ever had to prove conclusively his statements that he is the best heavyweight in the world today—and that his greatness is enough to make Dempsey wary of his stuff. And how did Mr. situation? Ah, ha-wa- Bee ttled the matter just Wills meet the like tha: By signing articles to meet Jack Démpsey a year this fall, provided neither he nor Jack is in the in- or r dead by that time. + nanan vee Rnainate. Ji bey Does this in Harry seem am- bitious? Ambition should be backed by the wallop in boxing. All of which again places Wills on the plane on which he belongs. He is a good heavyweight, it is-true, despite the fact that the record books give him little to crow about. But he admits, by his present ac- tions, that he Is glad to be where he is and isn't going to risk his chances at a crack at Dempsey's crown by meeting Tunney, Tunney, meanwhile, with a greater right to a title match with Jack due to a knockout victory over Tommy Gibbons, is courageous enough to want to settle matters with Wills—if the,latter be willing —before demanding a crack at the champion, Which leaves Mr. Wills as the greatest talking challenger and Mr. Tunney as the greater fighting chal- lenger. The sad part of ft all {s that nowadays most of the matches are staged at long range, through press agents. “ Johnston To Play Spaniard In Semi-Final NEWPORT, R. I, Aug. 21.—Wil- Mam M.

But. now,. not content with letting his teams speak for him, Knute has, come out publicly, arid admitted fel- low coaches and the general public behind. the sceneg in a manner as frank as it is geNerous. Most important of all, he has set forth views on the training of quar- terbacks, mentally and , physically; and gives advice no coach who seeks to improve his potition can afford to {gnore. “The successful coach," says Rock- ne, “must have personality, enthu- siasm, technical, knowledge, sense of fair play, sympathy for the players and yet-he must be a strict discipll- narian. But probably as important as anything, is adaptability, Coach- ing conditions in one institution dif- fer from another 100 per cent, “On the day of the big game of the year, I take a lot of the pads out of the inemen’s pants, as well as thigh guards, and give the backs only that protection which they absolutely require, Speed is essential. “I believe that most teams wear too heavy uniform. Speed is essen- tlal {a the present day, “Too much swimming is not good as preliminary training, as it softens one for football, Golf, combined with tennis, is O. K. “Later in the season when we have acquired form and conditibn, the tackling dummy is no longer used and the tacklers use the live ball carrier instead. Every team should have several comedians, so that the squad is al- ways in. good humor. .Jf my team Is not singing, laughing or horse-play- ing in the shower bath, I am alarmed, “You can not defeat a good tack- ling team very badly “The small rabbit type of back loves to have you go for his legs be- cause of his shiftiness; he should, therefore, be tackled around the neck. “{ would rather have a good in- terferer than a good ball carrier. “Punting used to be fifty per cent of offense. Now I doubt if it is more than twenty-five per cent on the av- erage team. However, a good de- fensive team with a good kicker is hard to beat,” “I don't believe any team can use more than thirty plays and have perfect execution. “There are a lot of formations used in football, but I don't belleve I would use a formation unless I could use all four methods of offense from {t, viz., thrust, flank attack, kick, forward pass, “Use the unbalanced line if you have driving backs and the balanced line if you have fast. shift backs. “The most versatile offense is the one which combines the strong points of both the direct and indirect pass from center. “A good interferer back. “Shift plays are used for deception, not for momentum.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.—( By The Associated Press.)—3 Pennsylvania’s hopes for exclusive rights to the world se- ries were less bright today. The Philadelphia Athletic in the American league and s were back in second placa Pittsburgh, leading the Na- tional league, had a desperate an and formidable Giant to «ontent with in the first two games of a fivegame struggle at the Polo Grounds. A 12inning mound duel won by Washington, 1 to 0, carried the world's champions back into the American league leadership by a full game yesterday as the Mackmen suffered their third straight defeat from the Browns, 7 to 6. The re- verse dropped Philadelphia from the peak for the first time in slightly more than a month, A home run by Rice and a triple by Sisler in the ninth did it, The Senators hit Miller rather freely but were extended three extra frames by Cleveland before they could insert a finishing blow. A wild throw and singles by Rice and Gos- lin put the game across for the cham- pions, Zachary quit after the eighth for a pinch hitter and Marberry then hurled for the champions, In epite of the fact that they lost a hard fought game to the Cubs yes- terday, 5 to 8, while the Pirates were regaining their three game advan- tage as the result of a fluky home run by Cuyler, 2-1, the New York Giants today were loaded with trou- ble for the National League leaders. With their pitchers in top form, the four-time league champions were calling upon their fighting pluck for @ garrison finish. Lucky hops decided both games In which the leading National League contenders figured. In the case of the Giants, an inoffensive looking roller from the bat of Heathcote and a fly by Jahn which fell for a double aided in the downfall of the cham- pions, while Cuyler’s homer againet Brooklyn was a mere single which ook an unexpected hop over E rn’s head in the outfield and rolled to the fence. Cincinnati bombarded the Philites with 15 hits to win three games out ot four, The score was 8 to 4. The Braves, after long confinement In the cellar climbed to within a few points of seventh piace by inflicting a fourth straight defeat, 6 to 3, on the Cardinals as a result of unbeat- able pitching by Barnes.
