"OLD CASEY" HELD
BEST OUTFIELDER
Much Done in Helping Giants
L to Win Pennant.
DOPE TELLS VERY LITTLE
Player Who Was Thought Joke
When Included In Deal Shows
He Has the Real Stuff.
r BY GEORGE CHADWICK.
(Copyright, 1922. by The Oregoniah.)
NEW YORK, Oct. 21. Baseball
records do not tell the whole story
of a player's success on the ball
field. They indicate his mechanical
ability in games but they do not
register temperament, moods, ambi
tions, stability and courage. Con
sequently, while the official records
of 1922 probably will place old Casey
Stengel second among the batters
of the National league Hornsby
will be first they do not tell the
whole story of the "come-back" of
this old player, who has tempera
ment, ambition and all of those
other good fighting qualities the
youngsters are hoped to have.
"Half a million for nothing."
That's the real story of old Casey
Stengel, told for the first tim6 to
day, and it's one of the real sensa
t'ons of baseball history. He was
thrown in as excess freight on i
deal and he cleared up half a mil
lion dollars in one way and another
for the club which knew enough to
ask that something be thrown in
lor good measure.
Reputation as Clown Made.
How they knew what to ask for Is
n story which shows how some man
agers observe, and some do not.
"Old Casey" sounds like Stengel
might be running around with long
gray whiskers and a- palsied arm
but he is not. They call him "Old
Casey" because he has been with
the public for some time, has been
switched again and again from one
club to another and because he
made himself the reputation of be
ing half a clown.
Some seasons ago the Giants went
to Brooklyn to play a series with
the Robins. The Giants were
thrashed because a n outfielder
named Stengel placed himself right
for the batters of the Giants. He
caught three of four hits in that
series that were screamers, each
ticketed for a three-bagger or home
run.
"There's the best outfielder in
baseball today," said the Giants'
manager as he turned to the dug
out, "and nobody knows it.
"Him?" snorted one of the older
players of the Giants, "why Sten
gel's just a clown. He ain't a ball'
player."
"Like blazes!" was McGraw's com'
rcent.
Stensel "Tanned" by Brooklyn.
Stengel went away from Brook
lyn because they thought his days
were numbered. They could see no
good in him. He drifted around to
various teams but always out of
reach of the New York club. There
seemed never a trade or a swap
in sight which could bring him into
the net of the Giants. Then after
being turned aside by various man
agers, Casey landed in Philadelphia,
where they couldn't or wouldn't take
him seriously. Finally he was in
cluded in a deal which the New
York team made with Philadelphia
and he packed his grip and left on
the first train. He "couldn't get to
the Giants quickly enough.
One of the Philadelphia players
laughed himself hoarse when he
heard Stengel had been Included In
the deal.
"What do they want of that old
guy?" he shouted. "Pretty soft for
him to get with a team, that isn't
at the tail-end of the league.
But the man who had watched old
Casey set himself So skillfully against
the Giant batters had never forgot
ten the rare judgment and intelli
gence Stengel had shown. But even
he did not expect that the Fhlla'
delphia cast-off would win a pen
nant for him by making timely hits
In games wlen the Giant pitchers
were working so abominably that
championships appeared things of
dreams. He figured Stengel would
be a good substitute and a good
coach for young outfielders.
Stengel surprised him and all base
Ball. He rewarded the Giants by
Being one of the biggest factors in
their success in their fight for the
National league championship. He
broke down In the world's series,
His brittle old underpinnings had
carried him about as far as they
would, but it lasted long enough to
make the Giants a pennant team
and he made for his fellow-players
something more than $4000 each,
Stengel won a half-score of games
by timely hits during the season and
the games which Casey's bat Swung
Into the winning column held a wav
ering team to the line. Going in
when he did after the other Giant
outfielders failed to come up to ex
pectations and turning the tide to
victory was a rare triumph for
Stengel.
It pays to know ability when one
sees it, on or off the diamond.
MURCHISON NOT TO RETIRE
Sprinter to Stay In Gamfor at
Least One More Year.
Loren Murchison, the ex-St. Louis
high school athlete, now the premier
sprinter of the Illinois Athletic club,
has denied any intention on his part
of retiring from athletics. The rather
unexpected defeat that he suffered
in the final heat of the national
"100" at the hands of Bob McAllis
ter, the New York policeman, appar
ently drove thoughts of retirement
furthermost from Loren s .mind.
"I am going to take a" good rest,1
he confided to one of his New York
rivals after the Newark game, "and
then I will get ready for the indoo
season next winter. I only hopi
that McAllister, Le Coney and al
the rest of them will be on hand to
race with me on the boards. I'll
show them a different brand of run
ning then."
Murchison's avowed Intention to
stfcK to racing for another indoor
campaign, at least, is assurance to
the athletic fans that there will b
some out-or-the-ordinary sprin
specials on the boards after Janu
ary 1 next.
Chicago Pop Bottle Center.
Everv time a pop bottle is thrown
in St. Louis they bring in the old
story about how Billy Evans wa
beaned by one in the mound city,
yet Evans himself says the wors
shower he ever received came from
the grandstand in Chicago several
years ago, when bottles flew so
thick and fast that he had to quit
his place behind the plate and fin
ish, the game behind the pitcher.

Wednesday is on the schedule of
the Portland high school league this
week. Pre-season dope made Com
merce a cellar candidate, but the
school's 18 to 7 victory over James
John Wednesday is causing Dr.
William " A. Fenstermacher, : the
Washington coach, much worry.
The champion Washington eleven
does not appear as strong as last
year. Two weeks ago Washington
had a hard time beating Franklin.
Only a sudden spurt in the last few
minutes gave it the game. Wash
ington drew bye last week, and as
the team went through light work
outs only, every player appears fit.
James John and the league-lead
ing Jefferson eleven play Thursday.
Jefferson has won its first two
games, 9 to 0 from Benson, and
25 to 0 from Lincoln. James John
defeated Lincoln, 14 to 13, but lost
to Commerce, 18 to 7.
Lincoln and Franklin play Fri
day, and prospects for a Lincoln
victory are. gloomy as the Franklin
team that played Benson Friday
seems much stronger than the green
eleven that faced Washington in
its first game. With Holmes play
ing as brilliantly as last year, when
he won an all-star berth, the Lin
coln line must hold better than It
has been- doing to stop his plunges.
Holmes tore the Benson line often
for 10-yard gains.
Dudley Clark, diminutive Jeffer
son quarterback, was only a sub
stitute last year but this season has
been the outstanding performer of
the quarters in the league, both In
directing his team and in running
back punts. With Hoogs, Stern and
Clark, Jefferson has the best of
tensive backfield In the league.
TRIP ATHLETES HIT
RIGID GRID POLICY ADOPTED
BY BIG THREE.
No Games to Settle Sectional or
Other Championships Will Be
Permitted by Schools.
The Big Three, so-called, meaning
Yale, Harvard and Princeton, has
announced the most drastic change
in athletic eligibility since the one
year rule was established.
The transfer athlete has been
eliminated, or, rather, will be, from
sports of any- sort at these institu
tions. No student who has repre
sented any other university or col.
lege can transfer to Yale, Harvard
or Princeton after January 1, 192S,
and participate ' in intercollegiate
athletics.
This is one feature of the new
government devised by the presi
dents of the three universities In
an effort to curb athletics in gen
eral and football in particular.
The gridiron training season will
be shortened and will not start until
one week prior to the beginning of
the academic year, fewer games will
be scheduled and post-season con
tests prohibited. No games to settle
sectional or other championships nor
engagements Involving long and ex
pensive trips will be permitted.
The coaching staff will be con
fined to graduates, who will be
prohibited from writing for publica
tlon. Proselyting in preparatory

schools will be prevented as far as
possible and an effort will be made
to lessen athletic publicity.
These changes seem enough, but
they are not all. The Big Three
boldly demands that all opponents
maintain the same standard- of
eligibility. In a statement issued
through the office of the Yale sec
retary it was announced that an
effort would be made to "arrange
games with only those institutions
using similar rules governing" eligi
bility and training methods."
This means that the colleges which
do not bar transfer students will
be dropped. It may come to pass,
if the rules are strictly adhered to,
that the complete schedules of the
Big Three will look something like
.this:

New Haven; November 17, Yale at

Feat of Cyclist 20 Years Ago of
Mile a Minute Quadrupled by
Dash of 248)4 Miles.
More than 25 years ago the world
was startled by the announcement
that a man had ridden one mile on
a bicycle In one minute flat. This
celebrity of the time was a profes
sional racing cyclist named Mur
phy and he was Internationally
dubbed "Mile a Minute" Murphy. He
made his great ride on a specially
constructed track between the rail
road tracks of the Long Island rail
road and was sucked along by the
pacing of a locomotive.
A few days ago another startling
performance was announced. This
time, however, the mechanical
power of an airplane is the factor
that enabled Lieut R. L. Maughan
of the United States army to travel
248 miles an hour through the
air. This is the equivalent of more
than four miles a minute, the fast
est time anyone has ever traveled
on earth, through air or water In
the history of mankind.
It is Interesting to note the
speed animals, , humans, and me
chanical devices have traveled one
mile. Herewith are the worlds
marks for covering one mile:

Quite naturally human beings of
ineir own propulsion power can
never be expected to produce the
speed of mechanical devices. The
fastest time a mile has been done
'by a human being is that of the
cyclist originally referred to, "Mile
a Minute Murphy." Trire he had
mechanical device In the form of a
bicycle, but it was his human power
that was responsible, though in a
sense the suction of the engine did
lor Murphy what no human has
ever accomplished. The fastest per
formance outside of this suction
power Is therefore the performance
of Kimm at Detroit on roller skates
and this is one of the truly remark
able performances in any form of
athletics.
In the animal kingdom the racing
horse is the speediest, though other
animals have been credited with
doing short distances, prorated on
their times for a mile, faster than
horses. . .

SHOWDOWN COMING
FOR BENNY LEONARD
Deep Rumblings Against
Champion's Inertia.
NO DEMANDS YET MADE
Prospects Are, Though, Vigorous
Request Will Be Made for
Defense ot. Crown.
(Copyright, 1022, by The Oregonian.)
NEW YORK, Oct. 21. (Special.)
-Bennv Leonard will snnn hn VA to
come otrt of his- cocoon and fight
Deep rumblings against the light-;
weight champion s inertia as far as
ring engagements are concerned
have started among certain of the
fistic gentlemen who aspire to
Benny's honors. These padded-fist
gents are saying sharp and harsh
words about Leonard. The first In
timations of the rumblings reached
the New York stato boxing commis
sion today.
The mutterings of the aspirants.
mostly lightweights, have not yet
taken the form of formal demands
on the commission for action, but
the protestations are couched in
strong terms,- nevertheless.. It Is
likely anytime now that all this in
formal talk will take the form ot
vigorous demand that Benny either
spend more time with his dentist or
be counted out by the commission.
It does seem that Leonard has
had time to recover from the ef
fects of the hammering on his
teeth. There isn't any question
about the way the champion's teeth
were completely mussed. However,
the boys who are anxious to take a
wallop at Leonard and his crown
are saying that all this happened
some time ago. They say, and
some of the dental experts say also,
that under proper and constant
treatment his jaw should have been
healed before this. It is perfectly
possible that the injury to his
mouth was worse than has been
made known it might be that the
jawbone was slightly fractured. If
so Benny ought to tell folks about
it instead of keeping so many heir
presutnptives on the anxious seat.
He owes it to himself as well as to
the contenders.
This appears to be particularly
true in view of the persistent re
ports regarding Leonard's growing
inability to make the lightweight
poundage and still keep his old
wallop. Increasing weight is a
thing that will happen to the best
of them and if it is true that
Leonard has reached or is closely
approaching the-time when he can
not make the weight without no
ticeably weakening himself, the
very best thing he. can do is . to
realize it, tell the world and climb
into the next division.

FEW FIGHT FANS FAMILIAR
WITH RULES OF GAME.
Walker Law Makes Holding and
Hitting and Maintaining
Clinch Clearly Fouls.
The fact of Tendler asking Ref
eree Ertle if he would be permitted
to hit Leonard when one or both of
his hands went free started a die
cussion, and the London "Mirror of
Life" comes to bat In this manner:
"The point Is one which should
not bother boxers or referees.
though it must be admitted to
understand the point one must know
the game. Of course, the rules are
clear enough regarding one contest
ant holding and the right of his op
ponent to hit while being held, but
it is outside the rules than we have
to go to understand that when
'clean break' is in operation a man
is at times prohibited from hitting
while he has both hands free.
"A 'clean break' is easily under
stood, but it Is surprising how many
people, professing to know boxing
thoroughly, do not know what a
clean break implies. Boxers can
only be called on to 'break' when a
clinch occurs, and, as it takes two
to make a clinch, if only one man
Is holding, the other,' who Is not in
fringing the rules, is at liberty to
hit with both hands if free or one
hand if the other is in the grip of
his adversary.
"To those who understand boxing
it is just that this should be so, for
otherwise a clinging boxer to escape
being hit would only have to seize
his opponent.
"A man who holds may be penal
ized, but a man held may not be. A
'clean break' means that when both
contestants hold at the same time
they must each release the other and
step back without striking a blow
or attempting to strike one while
in the act of doing so. Under
straight rules, that is, Queensberry
rules, boxers must protect them
selves at all times and hitting with
both hands or either hand when
free. i
The contention of the "Mirror"
that it takes two to make a clinch
is amusing. A boxer may have his
left arm around h:s opponent's neck
and at the same time be holding the
left glove of his adversary under his
right arm, thus completely stopping
the action of the bout, as the man
who is held cannot move his left
and can do little or nothing with his
right. If the referee calls for
break, all hitting must cease, the
men to step away without a blow.
But any time one man is holding
and the other's hands are free, h
may hit up to the command for a
break. Tendler did not ask if h
could hit after the referee ordered
a break. He wanted to know if he
could hit when being held previous
to. the call for a break.
Few boxers are foolish enough to
hit after the referee orders a break,
but all fighters, even though. hel.
by an opponent, hit until com
manded to step back.
The claim that under Queensberry
rules boxers were required to "pro
tect themselves at all times" has
no basis of fact. Under that condi
tion a boxer could hold and hit, and
the Queensberry rules declared that
"there shall be no holding." If
holding was a violation of the rules
then holding and hitting was doubly
foul.
In many localities referees permit
what is called "one hand free" fight
ing. Under this interesting regula
tion a boxer may hit with one hand,
even while holding with the other.
There are so many weird interpre
tations of rules in the country, box
ers may well be excused for being
slightly confused.
Under the Walker law, which is in
force in nearly all boxing centers, it
is foul, to hold and hit, and also foul
to maintain a clinch.
PADDOCK HUT BE PRD
SIX WEEKS' LECTURE TOTJIt
WOULD CHANGE STATUS.
Statement Made Unequivocally by
Sam Goodman, Vice-President
of American Athletio Union.
'If Charles Paddock, world's ama
teur sprint champion, persists in his
present intention of carrying out
the contract he has signed for a
six weeks' speaking tour in Canada
during 1923, with the Dominion
Chatauqua, Ltd., calling for lectures
on clean athletics for pay, he imme
diately becomes a professional.
There is no other alternative."
This statement was by Sam Good
man, vice-president of the Amateur
Athletic Union of the United States,
without any qualifications. "There
Js no doubt," said Goodman, In fur
ther comment, "that there is room
for an immediate Amateur Athletic
union Investigation of Paddock's
connection with this contract. Under
the rule covering amateurs, article
10, section D, on 'Acts of Disbar
ment,' the second paragraph clearly
covers Paddock's case and, under
this law. the Amateur Athletio
union, in its own defense, must ask
Paddock some questions and, if not
satisfactorily answered, there is
only one thing that can be' done
professionalize Paddock."
By signing a contract to appear
on the lecture platform throughout
Canada, it is reasonable to suppose
that Paddock is going to be paid.
It is also j beyond all question of
doubt that his athletic fame is the
cause of his being asked to sign
auch a contract No one blames
Paddock for earning an honest liv
ing. Such a lecture tour comes
under this characterization, but It
Is gaining honest mosey at the ex
pense of his own reputation as an
amateur athlete. If Paddock is go
ing into this thing and being paid
for it, he should turn in his amateur
card and forestall any action on the
part of the Amateur Athletic union
and, failing in this, the Amateur
Athletic union will not be long in
acting. If the latter tans to aci it
will be derelict in Its duties.
Eastern athletic authorities and
others will find it difficult to con
nect Paddock's entry into the Chau
tauqua field and his non-entry into
the track and field championships.
Paddock has stated that it will be
impossible, owing to business mat
ters, for him to enter the Amateur
Athletic union championships. The
east will naturally want to know if
he can't enter a two-day track meet,
how he can make time to enter a
six weeks' Chautauqua tour. It is
a matter that Paddock will find
very difficult to explain.
The east is anxious to have Pad
dock meet, the best sprinters
throughout the country in the na
tional championships this season.
Paddock has found it impossible to
go east, but has shown his wares In
a series of unimportant meets
against untried and unknown com
petitors on the Pacific coast. East
ern authorities are of the opinion
that the competition he would find
In the coming national champion
ships, coupled with the new "tenth"
split timing watches would give
Paddock every favorable opportu
nity to beat the best men and make
records that mean something. Pad
dock, however, does not, evidently,
see the matter in the same light and.
unless he again changes his mind,
he will not compete. In any event,
an investigation of his present con
tract to tour Canada may be the
means of permanently putting him
out of all future amateur competi
tion. INDIANA COACH JUST 28
"He's Hot Rocks," Declares Cap
tain of Football Team.
"He's hot rocks," exclaimed Frank
(Duke) Hanny. captain of the In
diana university football team for

The ejaculation was uttered near
the end of a long and trying ses

athletio board of control of Indiana
university, named to select a foot
ball coach to succeed E. O. ("Jum
bo") Stiehm when the latter went
on sick leave. The committee had
been talking over the long-distance
telephone with James P. (Pat) Her-
ron, who naa oeen recuiiiuiu;v ,
Glenn Warner, coach of the Unlver
tity of Pittsburg, and terms had
Deen agreed upon.
"He's hot rocks!" shouted Cap
tain Hanny, and that seems to be
ihe opinion of the entire student
body at Indiana, judging from the
reception given the new coach when
he arrived in Bloomington just in
time for the first practice, of the
season. '
Coach Herron is just 28, an avia
tor of the world war, was selected

and law school at Pitt and when he
is not devoting his time to football
he is a practicing attorney in Pitts
burg, Pa. His home is at Mones
