The work of Johnny Grip, candl- date for a pluce on the ham football team, is recelving attention from the melropolitan sports writers, In writing of the scrimmages ene gaged in by the team a writer for the New York Herald-Tribune in writing of the team's workout, states among other things “while the ball carrying exhibition of Paul Conboy and George P dulighted the Mas~ roon coaches, The Georgo Grip referred to s i¢none other than the local Johnny, star of last year's champlonship High school foothull eleven, Zaks- zewskl, regular wan in the position being striven for by Grip, returned to the lineup only to be knocked un- consclous. e will probably have an edge on the local boy but Grip will at the least be an alternate back, therefore making him a member of the varsity ercw and giving one the right to predict that he will get into | ,lmost all of the team's games, Howard Beloin is working out for & guard position and his chances are good for landing an alternate berth, It he doesn't Jund this year, he surely will be on the varsity team next year if he keeps up his good work. IHoward played with last year's Red and Gold eleven and his work wag of the highest order, Ilis opponent for the guard position out» welghs him slightly and has more experience, hut there are many chances for the loeal boy to-get into the line and his work at the present time indicatos that the coaches of the Fordham team are intcrested in him. Lawyer Harry (Mahoney) Gins- one of the leading authorities on foothall in this city and an 'alumnus of Fordhum, brought hoth Grip and Reloin to his alma mater for enrollment and he introduced both boys to I'rank Gargan, Ford- | ham's head coach.

Sullivan fhe greatest champion the ring ever knew, Sullivan made the fight game | popular and just now the fight game, with its sordid commercialism and its stalling champlons, noeds some- one to bring it back to where it once used to be, Meeting Players COVELESKIE—SENATORS Tursuing the “comeback” which has earned him the title of leading pifcher of the league {his year, Stanley Coveleskie, another product of the Pennsylvania coal mine dis- trict, bids fair to be the champion's | mainstay in the title series. “Covey” won three world series games for Cleveland again Brooklyn five years ago. He has more then repeated ;mn pitehing record of hat season this year to late, breaking into the select few of 20-game winners, Coveleskie, who s one of the few remaining spitballers in the majors, | is also one of the hardest working | moundsmen. He is always in the game, (rying as hard with two men out and no one on as with {he | bases filled. His major league career | has been spent entirely with Cleve- land and Washington. He came {o | the champions last winter in trade | for Titcher Speece and Outfielder Carr Smith. Speece has twirled only fajr ball while Smith has passed out of the Cleveland lineup. Cove- | leskic was horn In Shamokin, Pa.. July 11, 1891, He started pitching with Shamokin in 1908 and after a few years in the minors went to Cleveland in 1916, He pilches and bats right handed. REUTHER—SENATORS Traded and sold among five ma- jor league clubs, Walter “Dutch” Reuther, temperamental sonthpaw and stormy petrel of baseball, finds himself counted on as a main gun in his sccond world series. After winning nineteen games for Cin- cinnati in 1919, Reuther defeated | Chicago of the American league in one of the world eeries contests of | that year. He pitched part of an- other game which was won by the “Red) Coming to Washington last winter by (he waiver ronute from Brooklyn he has proved an- other of the veteran ‘‘castoffs” of otlier clubs which haxe combined to give the.Nationals their second straight pennant. Strangely enough, Reuther's. first entry info the ma- jors was with Pittsburgh in 1913, He was released. however, withont participating in a game. Twirling steady ball. Reuther quickly carned a regular herth with the cham- pions this year and he ranks close behind {he remarkable Walter Johnson and Stanley Coveleskie for pitelting honors of the league. Tis hitting also played a prominent { part in the games he pitched. He was always a threat at bat. Reuther was horn at Alameda, Cal., Septom- | ber 12, 1893, He pitches and bats | left handed. | | TATE—SENATORS | Like the manager of the world's champions. THenry Bennot Tate, utility catcher, spent his young days In the ceal districts and got his first experience in basebail with sand lot feams in those districts. Born at Whitewell, Tenn., December 3, 1901, Tate migrated with his family 1o Birmingham, Alabama, when he was an Infant. While Benny had a hankering for backstop job, the neighborhood decided he did not have heft for that place so he began playing as an infielder. Later, however, he worked around to the co of his first love and after playing in the coal district in Ohio and Tllinois he was signed hy the St. Tonis Americans. They farmed him fo Rock Teland in the Three-1 league and after one seagon there he was hought by Mobile of the | Southern Association for the 1922 ! season. He was released, however, iand then joined the Memphis team | from which Washington obtained him two years ago. M Kkids enough | S | LEIBOLD—SENATORS | Marry Loran Teibold had séen 10 years of big baseball before join- ing the Washington Americans as a utility outfielder. Born at Tnd.. Tebrugry 17. 189 ag he is known around the American league cireuit, carly became a resident of Detrolt and graduated from the semi-pro- feesional ranks thére to the Mil- waukee team of thé American As- sociation in 1911. After two wyegrs with the Brewers he was drafted by Cleveland. Tn 1815 the Chicago Americans obtained him and six vears latér lie went 4 the Boston Rted Sox from which club Washing- ton purchased him in 1923, Because of his small stature and keen batting eye, Leibold is regard- | ed as one of the most difficult of men to pitch to, | RUEL—SENATORS | Marold D, Ruel, catcher, of the few college men of Washington champions. He is a graduate of Washington university, St. Louis, and is a law- yer. His early Dbaseball training was on the sandlots of his home town of St. Louls, where he was born on February 20, 1387 He had become sb proficient in the natienal 'game at the agé of eightéén that the EL.

MORRISON—PIRATES John Dewey (Jughandle) Morri- son of Plllerville, is one of the veterans of the Plarte staff. Ie re- celved his nickname locally from the numerous twists which he com- pels a bascball to make in reaching the bafter, Morrison, now 29 years old, ad- vanced to the majors through Madi- sonville, Anniston and Birmingham. Ala, arriving in the Pittshurgh camp in 1920, Tis record, including the season of 1924, showed 63 vie- tories and 47 losaes In 977 innings 960 hits were made from his scry- fce. He has heen victorions in a majority of his games this season. He is a right hander, who stands almost six fect and weighs about 170 pounds. MCINNIS—PIRATES John Phelan (Stuffy) McInnls, 35 years old and one of the most famous players on the Pirate roster, is very likely to sco much ecrvico at first base in the world series. Only he and Tddie Collins, {he Chi- cago manager, survive one of the history's greatest infields, the old Philadelphia Amerfcan $100,000 combination, which also included Jack Barry and Frank Baker, Melnnis, a native of Gloucester.

In 1918, his usefulness considercd at an end, Stuffy McTnnis wns traded to fthe Red Sox and baseball men regarded the deal as a gift, but while there he made one the game's greatest marks, one crror being charged against him in an entire season, Boston {raded him to Cleveland in 1922 in a deal for Joe Harris and Elmer Sinith The Tndlans released him unconditionally later that sca- son and he went fo the Draves where he hit .315, Before the pres- ent season started e announced dissatistaction with salary mafters and was dropped. to be signed hy Pittshurgh.
