Down RUNNING AWAY FROM HOME In response {o many requests, some of the late Clare Briggs' famous dr awings are being reproduced in the sports pages of The Evening Star. ON THE SIDE LINES With the Sports Editor By DENMAN THOMPSON T a player who has concentrated on base ball to the exclusion of everything else should wish to retain his connection with the game when his active career ends is not surprising. He has to, if the coal man and grocer are to be kept placated, for the game is all he knows. But how about the chap who has looked ahead; burned the midnight oil and fitted himself to earn a livelihood independent of clicking turnstiles, by using the wherewithal furnished by bimonthly checks? Such an hombre is Herold Ruel, veteran backsmpt:r of the Nationals. By going to school for five years between dfamond seasons, making up in the Fall for work cut in the Spring, Muddy was graduated in law at Washington College, St. Louis, passed the Missour| State bar examinations and last Summer was admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of the United States. Is Far From a Has-Been. 1t is not intended here to in- fer that Ruel is all washed up as a big-league receiver. Far from it. As a matter of fact, intimations from local’ head- %ulmn recently have been to the effect that Ruel this season may regain with the Griffmen the status of first-string catch- er he held for six successive campaigns until last Summer, when that distinction, in addi- tion to his record of having caught 100 or more games an- nually for eight consecutive years, was terminated. It may be, of course, that the club officials’ attitude is influ- enced by the fact Ruel already is under contract, whereas Benny Tate and Roy Spencer are yet to sign, but the point we are trying to convey is that, with all the toil, bother and ex- pense entailed to obtain a law education, Muddy is perfectly willing to forego its benefits to stay in the game he has served for the last 15 of his 34 years, either as manager or some other job of responsibility, after he is through as a player. “There comes a time in ev- ery one's career when he has to start thinking about what he will do when he no longer is able to carry on as an active player,” Ruel is quoted in the Sporting News as remarking to Damon Kerby. “Whether he stays in the game or gets out, for most players, is a matter of chance. For a player to say what he would like to do later Ol’ll. therefore, is somewhat fu- ‘tile. Retains Legal Connection. “I entered a law firm several years ago, and while I haven't devoted a great deal of time to practice for the past two Win- ters, I have retained connec- tions that would enable me to get back into law and give it my full time. It may be that I shall do this later on. “But if I were to make a defi- nite chaoce today, I would sta; in base ball. Perhaps base ball is a business with me, to a cer- tain extent, as it is to most players after they have been playing professionally for four or five years. But I still love to play for the game itself. “I still like to know I am get- ting the best possible perform- ance out of my pitcher. I still get a kick out of ou'&ueum; the other fellow on the_ base paths. Boiling it down, I still Ra for all makes. TA' '8 FENDER AND BODY WORKS. T T 2 1 TROUSERS To Match Your Odd Coats EISEMAN'’S, 7th & F love the old game of base ball. It offers a new challenge every day. That challenge still would be there if I were a manager. And I would like it.” Muddy Has the Brains. It is generally conceded that Ruel, who, with the Yankees and Red Sox as well as the Na- tionals, has demonstrated he ranks with the smartest catch- ers the game has produced, is well qualified to continue in base ball as pilot or coach. And further evidence of his clear thinking can be found in hi advice to youngsters aspirin to base ball careers, contradic- tory though it may seem com- ing from one wi g to scra all his legal lore for base ball. Says Muddy: “Base ball, as a profession, is a speculation at best. Any play a man makes is likely to be his last one. There always is a chance of an accident. If the layer has no profession and ittle schooling, he usually is up against a stiff proposition when he figures in an accident that closes his base ball career. On the other hand, if he has completed his education, it is not so hard for him.” PIRATES WILL EXERCISE AT STATIONS EN ROUTE FORT MADISON, Iowa, February 20.— Jewel Ens, manager of the Pittsburgh , Is not going to permit his charges to become train weary as !.hey! speed Westward to their camp in Paso Robles, Calif.
