By BRIAN BELL (AssOc1aTED PRESS SPORTS BACK TO MINORS AFTER TWENTY YEARS Tris Speaker should great manager for the make has not been a minor league play- er for 21 years. 'The former chief of Cleveland Indians played his last game in the minors Little Rock in the ion in 1908 he grey eagle broke fessional baseball in 1906 at ag 18, after finishing Fort Wi Polytechnic Institute. He joined Cleburne in the North Texas League and batted 260 in 84 games. He moved cver to Housto next year and, batting sold to the Boston Red $400. Reporting at the end of the 1907 season, he played only seven games for Boston sent to Little Rock on option. He batted .350 in the South and was returned to the Red Sox late in the year on payment of $500. He went along batting more e into pro- than .300 every year until he was: traded to Cleveland in 1916 for Thomas and Jones and cash. He led.the American League hitters in 1916 with a mark of .386, Inte rupting for a year the long reign of Ty Cobb as king of the Ameri- can league batsmen, In July, 1919, he succeeded Lee Fohl as manager of the Cleveland Indians and in 1920 won the pen- nant and world championship. He was released after the 1926 sea- son and played in 1927 with Wash- ington and in 1928 with the Philadelphia Athletics. The 40-year-old player is still active and should play good base- ball in the International league. His batting average for 21 years of major league baseball is well over .300. Speaker can still “go get 'em,” although he is, of course, not the ground coverer he was. In his prime “Spoke” played center field Jjust back of second base, and many a hit leaving the bat labelled single or double or triple carried right into his hands. He was able to play such a close outfield on ac- count of his extraordinary ability to go back on hard hit balls. Few outfielders have been able to go back as he could. RAY SCHALK CHANGES LEAGUES Ray Schalk, who has played with only one major league club in his 17 years under the big top, not only changed clubs but leagues ‘when he signed a new . contract after being released as manager of the Chicago White Sox. The once great catcher should fit in well with the system of John J. McGraw and prove a decided as- set*to the New York Giants. “Cracker” is a smart, resourceful baseball man and if the Giant manager is run over by a taxicah as was the case this year, he will be able to place the playing af- Tairs of the club in capable hands. Schalk’s friends say his lack of success with the Sox could be charged to his easy going ways. He was too much of a good fel- | low, they say, to succeed where driving force is needed to keep a club going at its top speed. This! handicap, if handicap it was, will not be felt in his hew position. If' discipline shall be necessary on the Giants it will not be one of the responsibilities of the first as- sistant to the manager. The manager will attend to it . MENTAL HAZARD ON FOOTBALL FIELDS Failures to add points after the touchdowns on football fields over the country every Saturday may be charged to the mental hazard of the goal posts ten yards Dack of the goal lines rather than vhyal_’ cal !mperfections.
