Show LEE MAGEE BECOMES MODEST Erstwhile Leader of Brookfeds, Now Member of Donovan's Tribe of Yankees, Loses Egotism. Lee Magee, erstwhile leader of the Brookfeds and recently enrolled member mem-ber of Bill Donovan's tribe of Yankees, has become modest since his return to the ranks of organized ball. Several weeks ago it was remarked that Lee led the Federal league in egotism last year. It seems that such a statement will not be applicable to him this year, in proof of which is appended a quo tation from an article signed by him and appearing in one of the New York papers: "I have always flssired to see how I would shape up alongside the great Ty i y 1 Lee Magee. Cobb. It would be hoping too much to be another Cobb. But if I am considered consid-ered next to Ty Cobb, it would suit me pretty well." How like the shrinking violet for Lee to acknowledge that one man is his superior! |
