Barrow, new president, and George Weiss, head of the farm system. $ ¥ 3 MEN WHO RAN THE YANKEES: The late Colonel Jacob Ruppert, the late Manager Miller Huggins, and Barrow. BARROW: lN 1898 IN 1918 ... AND TODAY Connie Mack and Clark Griffith have been in baseb:Ul a trifle longer but o man has had more varied experience than 71-year-cld Edward G. Barrow, new President ef the New York Yankees, who has been in the game 45 years. Back in the 80's he managed Wheeling, W. Va. Then Patersen, N. J, where he dis- covered Shortstop Honus Wagner whom he regards as the greatest of ali players. He piloted Detroit in 1903. From 1910-1917 he was President of the Internaticnal league. In 1918 he became Boston Red Sox manager and wen a World Series his first year. It was then that he saw the hitting possibilities in Pitcher Babe Ruth and turned him into the outfielder who b:came the greatest home-run hitter of all time. Nine- teen years ago, Barrow came to the Yankees as business manager. The Yankees were Colonel Jake Rup- pert’s ball club but Barrow was head man. So his election to succeed the late Colonel as President means ; usual, with a new title. He was one of the first to introduce sideline at- tractiens tc e attendance at Paterson games during the Spanish-American war he had John L 3. Jeffries umpire and had Jim Corbett play first base. He alsc intro- duces the first girl pitcher, Lizzie Arlington.

HILDINGER FOR HEIDELBERG IS HOLDER OF 647 Commercial League bowlers per- forming in a double header at the Brunswick alleys last night, pro- duced two lop-sided decisions First game between New York Tavern and Rainier Beer was a walkaway win for the Beer crew. ‘They took all three games, their closest push coming in the second game when their 541 was on top by only 7 pins. Magasino of the vinner counted a 577 for individual scoring honors. Another beer sponsored club, the Alt Heidelberg, duplicated the three straight feat by knocking off the Broadway Cabbies in that fashion. Total pins for the winners was 1685 as compared to 1446 for the Cab- bies. Startling feature of this contest was a three-game score of 647 rolled by Hildinger of the Hidelberg. This one of the outstanding tourna- ment marks of the year. His game started strong gt 191, kept going up ‘0 221 and 235. His tally won all May, who made four field goals in the first half for the Elks, was un- abel to pot another in the second half. In the first game of the evening. between the High School and Hen- ning’s Five, the Commercial Leaguers beat the Crimson Bears 29 to 15, Chapados ringing up ten points for the Henning squad, with his team- mates all scoring and but three play- ers on the High School team, Pow- ers, Hussey and McDaniels scoring.
