i' Coach Howard Jones 01 w
ipBlTersIty of Soathcrn Calif ornto,
,-we hear, has written a book about
(football. This w.'.s written prior
ijto last Saturday, and fcopies are
rallable at bookstores in the
larger cities, at least. 0 we really
ncaa't see where Eagbbaw has an

Bat to be strictly accurate,
that book wouldn't hav done
Baggy any good, becaufe the
title of it is "Football for tho
Fan," and according to he pre
views, it explains only what
Jones thinks a fan ought to
know to enjoy the game; not so
much that he can't enjoy It.
Coaches, you see, know too
much.
I Personally, all we know about
-football is the part we remember
pi what five ditferent coaches
'tried to teach us; and that iBn't
"enough to spoil our enjoyment.

And it does seem to us that
football on this west coast la
undergoing a trend, or a couple
of trends, toward two schools
or systems; those of Howard
Jones and Pop Warner.
The Jones school is something
rather radical, when you, think
'about jt. Coaches for years hara
been placing one man in the back
field who couldn't carry the ball.

and just one to Carry the ball.
Offhand you might say that was
pretty hard on the lone ball car

tion, we might say that under the
'Jones system, it doesn't make any
"difference, because when one ball

CHICAGO. Oct. . 15 (AP)
Glum and heartsick, Joe McCar

successful world series battles to

and cheered them but somehow
failed to make them forget '
Except for the courageous ban

the team acted like a funeral pro
cession. Hack Wilson and Gab
by Harnett wept shamelessly and
the others. Manager McCarthy in
cluded, acted like bad boys who
had been whipped and were re
morseful. Even owner William Wrigley
Jr., who had his heart set oa a
world's championship this year,
was unable to conceal his sorrow
even though he did tell the home
coming greeters that next year
would be different.
"Don't worry boys," Wrigley
told the fans and his players.
"Let's try to forget now. What
Is done is done. We'll eonte back
next year and then it will be seme
other team's turn to feel the way
we do now if any team can feel
that way."

On the
Sidelines
By BRIAN BELL
Ty Cobb in reminiscent mood.
Speaking of first baseman. "Lu
Blue was and is a great first base
man. It's a pity he is not more
ragged. Blue really is fragile as
baseball players go. He plays so
Intently that ha is worn to a f ras
sle long before a season is over
and in the last part, frequently has
not any reserve left. But for
sheer gameneas, there are few
who ean step day in and day out
with Blue.
"Two of the best plays I ever
saw in basebau were made oy
Bine in one game. It was in St.
Louis when Sisler and Tobln were
about as fast as any two men In
the game. Tbe first I think came
with Tobin at bat. With a runner
on first. Tobin hit to Blue. La
fired that ball to second and got
back to first In time to doable
Tobin. I thought when I saw it,
'I never saw a better play than
that.'
"A little later, I saw him pull
another as good or better than the
one on Tobin. This time Sisler hit
one down to him under the same
circumstances and La duplicated
his previous performance. They
were great. You know they must
have been when they stood oat in
my memory all these years."
Speaking of catchers. Cobb still
has the floor. "I have seen them
come and go, some good, seme
bad and some just fair. The-best
of the lot? Cochrane. He ean catch
for my money any day. But there
were some others. Bay Schalk,

ful almost in appearance as when
he broke in. There was a great
catcher.
"I remember a story Kid dea
con told me about 'Cracker when
he first joined the White Sox. Ed
Walsh was then at the height of
his fame as a pitcher. Schalk was
a rookie. Ed had a great spltter
and a lot of other stuff then and
he wasn't so keen to pitch to the
green kid, and said perhaps he'd
better give the signals. Gleason
wasn't in favor of this for be was
afraid it would shake the young
ster's confidence if he couldn't
catch his ball game all the way
through. So 'Kid' told Walsh that
to show him how good the young
catcher was, there would be no
signals. 'Just go out there and
throw anything you want to, the
kid'll catch 'em,' Gleason told the
great pitcher. And be did."
Ty was aeked about the prac
tice of letting a base runner trot
around the bases without moles
tation when the team in the field
is two or more runs ahead in the
ninth inning. "Why?"
"The pitcher likes to take his
wind up when he can and if that
run won't be enough to tie the
score he la willing to let it count.
But at that a smart pitcher can
start his wind up and then take
only half of it and give the catch
er a good chance to catch a play
er trotting down to second or
third."

No Reason Seen Why Pres
ent Position Cannot be
Kept by Champs
By BRIAN BELL
Associated Pres Sports Writer
NEW YORK. Oct. 15. (AP)
A massive white elephant will cast
a dark shadow over the American
league during the off-season for
baseball. The Athletics, securely
placed in the front line trenches,
will be difficult to dislodge.
Connie Mack, standing alone as
tbe sole fourth term offender
against national league clubs in
world's series, probably will re
main the directing head of the
playing forces for at least three
seasons. He then will he 70 years
of age.
His present great machine
should hold together for several
years. The world's champions of
fer a well balanced combination.
the enthusiasm of youth being
tempered by the experience of the
veterans.
Eric McXalr Slated to
Fill Shortstop Berth
Mr. Mack s first change among
his regulars may be at shortstop.
Jack Boley had trouble with his
arm last year and was an uncer
tainty until the 1929 season waa
well on Its way. The heir appar
ent to the shortstop throne, how
ever, already Is In court. Eric
McNair, who joined the team from
Knoxville, just before the season
closed, may be ready to pick up
Boley's glove when he casts it
aside.
Quinn and Ehmke probably
will not go much farther on the
baseball journey, but the other
stars of the pitching staff are in
the prime of their Athletic lives
and Bill Shores and Bill Breckin
ridge are mere youngsters, wait
ing for their chance.
Bing Miller is tbe oldest out
fielder but he will not have to re
tire yet awhile. Mule Haas and
Al Simmons are the same age, 26,
and should be factors in tbe Mack
ian offensive for many years.
Nobody Seems .Likely
To Oust Champions
Six months before another base
ball season is scheduled to start.
no serious threat appears against
the herd of Mack. Tbe once in
vincible New York Yankees must
be rebuilt and it is unlikely that
they will he able to challenge
next year.
Cleveland Is np and coming bat j
tbe Indians are not ret rood
ball dab. The St. Louis Browns,
Washington Senator and Detroit
Tigers cannot reasonably expect
to be transformed into champion
ship contenders overnight. Tbe
Sox, White and Red. face even
more necessary reconstruction.
If the C7 year old Mack can
get in two or three more world'
series before he retires fro the
turbulent bench to the calm of an
executive office, he may leave
mark tor baseball generations yet
unborn to attack.
