Tex., Feb. 137‘ |A Texas league batboy of 25 years |ago is the circuit's new president. | At 38, J. Alvin Gardner not onl‘,l is one of the youngest minor league | executives on record, but also hv»‘ claim to a longer connection w. the Texas loop than anyone now within its fold. As a batboy for Gardser had his Beaumont fir; Later it him in be- with and he the Wic! f chise in pursuing his sideline. - An All-America league base- [oil fields claimed hi once demon-|1y. strated what it could do on the! Club owners elected him to hea ficld by trouncing the Philadelphia |the circuit because he had prove Athletics, (in 1910) as now, in four straight The details, now almost old cnough to be news again, are re- called by Norman (Kid) Elberfeld, manager of the Springfield (Mo.) Western Association club, in the Springfield Daily News: ‘In 1910 the American League closed its schedule ten days earlier than the National League,” says Elberfeld, famous in the majors as the “Tobasco Kid” at the time. “The Athletics had won the pen- nant and did not want to lay ofi for those ten days and grow stale.| I suggested to Jimmy McAleer, menager of the Washington club, thas we get up a team to play the A’'s a series just to keep them in trim fo: the Cubs. “Everyone was agreeable, so Mc- |Di, coaches and college officials. Aleer, acting as manager, got to- gether a club composed of Walter Johnson of Washington, Doc White and Ed Walsh of the White Sox, pitchers; Gabby Street, Johnson's battery mate, catcher; Jake Stahl, of Boston, first base; myself, sec- ond ‘base; George McBride of ‘Washington, shortstop; Harry Lord of Boston, third base; and in the outfield, three of the game’s best— the mighty Ty Cobb of Detroit; Tris Speaker, then with Boston and Clyde Milan of Washington. “McAleer just warmed the bench and laughed up his sleeve as we grabbed off four straight games from the Athletics, although Connie Mack used a new pitcher every three innings, including Plank, Bender, Coombs and Dygert.” The Athletics then took four out of five from Frank Chance’s Cubs to win the world’s series, the same margin by which the champion- ship was decided last year between | the same clubs. Babe Ruth’s 345-yard tee shot at Miami, easily twice the distance | he ever hit a home run, recalis the story of a driving contest he had last winter with Dazzy Vance, the famous Brooklyn strike-out king, at Clearwater. Prior to a friendly game, the Babe and Dazzy became embroiled in an argument about how far they could drive. A box of cigars was wagered on the result andj they went to the first tee at Clear- water to settle the debate. The hole measured 376 yards. Dazzy took one shot and over-drove the green. “Go collect the cigars,” roared the Babe as he refused even to take| his turn. Evidence has cropped up in many | parts of the country to show that the whistle blown by the Carnegie Foundation’s famous report on col- | lege athletics has been heard and | heeded. In connection with his| proposal for an All-Virginia coi-| lege conference, Dr. H. B. Handy | of the University “of Richmond | makes these suggestions, as pub- lished by the Richmond Nev\:-‘ Leader: 1.—Football season to be short- ened to six games. 2.—Football practice not to be- gin until one week after m:\u‘lcu»; lation of students. 3.—No games to be i scheduled world’s champions then| | himself a shrewd baseball man anc a popular leader.
