PRECISELY 22 ears ago the led Cleveland to her last pennant her only pennant in some 50 years and more. The Gray Eagle is better known as Tris Speaker one of the great outfielders, one of the great ball players of all baseball time. The Gray Eagle was the flying hawk who pre-vented Ty Cobb from leading the American league 13 consecutive seasons. This Mill Iwnll'V'WI! ""'. makes Tris half- - eagle and half- - Tris bpeaker hawk especially ball hawk. "I'd like to tell you something about this kid Lou Boudreau." Tris said. "Not a bad manager," we sug-gested. "Not a bad manager," the Eagle almost screamed. "If he has the chance to keep going I'm talking about the war now he'll be one of the best that baseball ever knew. "Here's a kid who is smart, game, crafty, forceful, re-spected and admired by every man on his club and a corking ball play-er on the side. "But the war is far more impor-tant than Boudreau or baseball. No one knows what will happen a little later on. I'm just trying to tell you what Boudreau might have been in normal times." 7oit; It Happened "When Alva Bradley, president of the Cleveland club, was looking around for a new manager," Speak-er continued, "he asked me about three or four possibilities. They were all good men. "But I asked Alva, 'Why go away from your own club?' " 'Who would that be?" Mr. Bradley asked. " 'A kid named Boudreau,' I said. 'How can you find a better man?' ' 'Lou's only 24,' Bradley said. " 'If he were 21 I'd still like him. In a year or two he'll be one of the best in baseball. Take him and give him a chance.' "At that time we were not at war. I figured then that Boudreau would need a year or two, or maybe three, to pick up the answers. He's picked them up, with the material he had. "Lou took over a club that wasn't so hot last season even with Bob Feller winning 25 games. Lou didn't have Feller around this spring. Feller has a much bigger job to look after. Cleveland, mi-nus Bob Feller, looked to be one of the major flops. Feller meant Cleveland. Bob Lou Boudreau ai gameS in 1939, 27 games in 1940, and 25 games in 1941. When you lose a guy who can win 76 games for you in three years, you've lost more than your shirtl Boudreau s Job "When Boudreau took his Cleve land club south this spring, he un-derstood what Feller's absence meant. He knew the psychological effect. 'I don't think,' he told his squad, 'this is a one-m- an club. Let's prove It.' "I don't know where Cleveland will finish this season. Everyone who knows baseball also knows that the Yankees have most of the good ball players. How can you beat a club that has Joe Gordon, Bill Dick-ey, Joe DiMaggio, Charlie Keller, and such pitchers as Bonham, Ruff-ing, Russo, Chandler, Breuer, Don-ald and a few more. "But in this first year, with Fel-ler missing, the Indians are still up there giving the Yankees a battle. "And don't forget there are hardly any members of this Cleveland squad who could even make the Yankee team." About the Eagle We turned the pages back to 1908, only 34 years ago, when Tris was playing with Little Rock. That was our first meeting. The Gray Eagle was a great ball player then. Time has taken nothing from him. He has been beyond all question the greatest fielding outfielder in the game's history and I can give you Jimmy McAleer, Fred Clarke, Jim-my Shec-kar- (Ring Lardner's pick), Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Joe Jackson, and several others. And normally Tris was better than a .350 hitter. Beyond this, the Gray Eagle from Hubbard City, Texas, has had more brains than most of the triba. Speaker has had the personality that belongs only to a few around the top rung. He is now in his fif-ties, all gray and partly bald, but still more ready and willing to get in any form of war work where he might be useful. At present he is on a draft board in Cleveland "where." he tells you. "we are p'ay-in-no favorites." Aid lie's not jus' saying that. Keleaaed by Western Newspaper Union. JAMES EMORY FOXX, latest to the Chicago National league ball club, may turn out to be one of the soundest Investments the Cubs have made in recent years. Foxx, 35 and In his 17th consecu-tive season of major league base-ball, will serve a double purpose with the Cubs. He Is expected to supply a much-nerde-d batting punch and he brings to the North Side club one of the greatest present-da- y baseball personalities. The rugged first baseman, two-tim- e American league batting cham- - pion, was pur-chased from trre Boston Red Sox after he was passed up by the other seven league clubs at the waiver price of $7,500. thus permitting his sale to the Cubs. In 1941, Jimmy finished with an average of .300. jimmy Foxx driving in 105 runs and thereby completing a rec-ord of 13 consecutive seasons in which he batted in more than 100 runs. During his American league career, he led the league three times in that particular department. While with the Athletics his marks of 169 in 1932 and 163 in 1933 led the league. In 1936, with Boston, he drove in 175 runs and hit .349, the latter mark also leading the league. Start of Career A right-hande- d hitter and thrower, Foxx began his professional career In 1924 as a catcher with Easton, Pa., in the Eastern Shore league. The Athletics bought him the fol-lowing year and sent him to Provi-dence for seasoning. He returned to the Athletics the following year and remained with them until the close of the 1935 season when he was sold to Boston for a reported $150,000. Foxx has been one of baseball's great home run artists. His top mark was reached in 1932 when he recorded 58 circuit clouts. Last season he drove out 19 home runs. Jim Gallagher, general manager of the Cubs, is well pleased with the deal. He knows the club needs a wallop and thinks that Foxx is the man to supply it He knows, too, that Foxx is past his peak, but that he still is dangerous. The Cubs have some excellent minor league hitters in tow, but they haven't pro-duced as yet. Foxx may spark them into a drive that will bring results. Luck Changes For Slammin Sammy Samuel Jackson Snead, upon whom the gods of golf have frowned for years, finally has proved to the satisfaction of everyone concerned that "pressure" golf is- - down his alley. In capturing the 25th national championship of the Professional Golfers associa-tion with a decision over Corporal Jimmy Turnesa, Snead had to win the hard way. He was three down after the first 23 holes, but man-aged to summon up his best shots to beat Corporal Sammy Snead Jimmy Turnesa with a five under par for the next 12 holes. Since 1936, when Sam came out of West Virginia with a sweet swing and power to burn, great things have been predicted for him. But Sam-my proved somewhat of a disap-pointment. It all started in 1937 at Detroit. He had scored 283 in, his first bid for the National Open championship. It was in the bag. But Ralph Gul-dah- l, who was smoking hot, cracked hrough with a 281. Then, in 1938, at Shawnee-on-Dela-war- e, Snead went into the final for the PGA title, against Paul Runyan, whose average drives lacked 50 yards of Sam's usual poke. Runyan whipped him unmercifully. Snead didn't win a hole until the 24th, and ended up on the short end of an score the worst drubbing in PGA finals. The following year Snead made history. He took an eight on the last hole of the National Open at Phila-delphia when a par five would have meant victory. That horrible eight will live forever in Sam's memory. In 1910, at Hcrshey, Pa., Byron Nelson joined the PGA champion-ship ranks by winning the title at the expense of Snead the luckless. Snead is still wondering how he lost this one. He threw a final round of 68, five under par, at Nelson and it didn't do him any good. Nelson out-played him. He turned loose a cou-ple of thunderbolts when they were needed. ' It hurt Sam to lose that one. The West Virginia slugger played good golf. He didn't fold up at a critical moment like he had done in the past But still he managed to lose. PR LEVI DELRTr uses.

WAAC ENLISTMENTS Thousands of determined women, eager to don the WAAC uniform, are driving WAAC officials wacky. The campaign for enlistments in the Women's Army Auxiliary corps has succeeded too well. MaJ. Oveta Culp Hobby and her chief lieuten-ants, Mrs. Arthur Woods and Mrs. Genevieve Forbes Herrick, have a bear by the tail and they know it Sad truth is that there cannot pos-sibl- y be more than 500 WAAC ndidates taken, in now. No "auxiliaries," that is, non-offic- WAAC's, can be recruited until the officers have been trained, possibly around September 15. The greatest number of WAAC's that can be tak-en in this year is estimated at 25,000, and all of these will be subjected to a minimum of four weeks' training. This leaves some 275,000 disappoint-ed would-b- e WAAC's out of an esti-mated registration of 300,000. Toughest job of all falls upon the chief recruiting officers in the nine army corps areas. It is their job to sort out the WAAC registrants and select the lucky women. Those chosen then must face a series of very stiff apti-tude tests. e e BOND LOTTERY, Rep., Adolph Sabath of Illinois, genial chairman of the house rules committee, wasn't able to sell the President on government-sponsore- d lotteries when he called at the White House. However, he was given a novel idea on how to use the lot-tery principle in the sale of war bonds. Sabath contended that a legalized lottery, conducted monthly by the treasury, would greatly aid in re-lieving taxation and raise billions in revenue for the war effort Under a bill he is sponsoring, the Illinoian said, the government would realize approximately $875,-000,0- from the sale of a billion $1 tickets, whereas if it borrowed this amount at 3 per cent for 20 years, the interest alone would total $525,000,000. "It wouldn't be the first time our government has held a lottery," ar-gued Sabath. "We did it in 1776 to help finance the Revolutionary war." "Yes, I know," said the Presi-dent, adding that he doubted the advisability of lotteries at this time because of the strong oppo-sition of religious groups. In-stead, he proposed a compro-mise. "Why not apply your lottery ideas to the sale of war bonds," he sug-gested. "The Belgian government held bond lotteries for a number of years." SHAKY CHINA Chinese leaders in Washington are not shouting it from the housetops, but behind closed doors they are doing some tough talking to the ef-fect that an increasing number of Chinese are getting discouraged about the war and would like to see some kind of appeasement with Ja-pan. Chinese leaders give this as the reason why China must have air-planesand have them immediate-ly. The Chinese don't demand a lot or planes. But they do say that even a small fraction of the munitions going to Russia would work wonders in bolstering Chi-na. Here is the Chinese picture now being presented to U. S. war strate-gists. After five years of war, the Chinese are warweary. Most dis-couraging thing is the ironical fact that the Chinese are worse off now, with Allies, than they were before, fighting alone. The Chinese were delighted after Pearl Harbor be-cause it meant they had a powerful ally against Japan. But now after six months of it, they almost wish they had been left to hold out alone. That is why recent reverses in Burma and along the China coast have shaken Chinese determination down to the foundation. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-she- k is not weakening. But many Chi-nese are, especially the well-to-d- o class, the people who yearn for restoration of normal busi-ness, who would rather have a chance to make money and live peacefully even under the Japs than to pay the frightful cost of continued war. Meanwhile, Japan seems deter-mined to crush China now. Appar-ently the U. S. bombing raids on Tokyo seared the Japs sick, made them see the danger of nearby Chi-nese bases, caused them to shift w.elrJStrategy t0 clea"ing up China ahead of other warfronts MERRY-GO-ROUN- n Heard in the navy press room: A sailor after 20 years' service re-- I 8 S'Zeable fortune of $60,-00- 0. amassed this sum through careful investment, enterprise, ini- - who left him $59,000. .J!!?
