Cruising in Sports BY EDDIE ASH—BASEBALL records disclose that Joe Cronin, new Washington manager, is not the youngest pilot ever to htyidle a major league team. The honor belongs to the late Jake Stahl, who was appointed chief of the Senators late in 1904 at the age of 24. Cronin is 28. Jake went up from Illinois university to the Boston Red Sox and later was traded to Washington. After only two years in the big show Jake was named pilot. In 1912 Stahl bossed the Boston Sox and led them to the pennant and world's series title. He was a first baseman. m a a It I* rumored the Pittsburgh Pirates will buy controlling interest in the Kansas City A. A. club and that Eddie (Dutch) /willing will be replaced as manager by Art Griggs. Howerer, It ia aaid /willing will be given employment In the bualneaa office. The word la out that Owner Muehlebach of the Bluea ia hard up for caah and ia encouraging the Pittaburgh connection. Art Grigga haa directed eluba for the Piratea in the Weatern League and 1* rated a amart developer of young talent. Mam SEVERAL years ago when Joe McCarthy managed the Chicago Cubs his team piled up a mess of runs on the Boston Braves and despite the fact the Bruins were far out in front, McCarthy remained on the coaching lines shouting for more runs. Emil Fuchs, chief of the Braves, jokingly asked Mac to have some mercy, pointing out that the Cubs already had enough runs to win an entire series. In 1929, after the world series game in which the Athletids scored ten runs in the eighth inning against the Cubs to come from behind to win, 10 to 8, McCarthy met Fuchs and said: “Well, Judge, after that exhibition today you know why Ive been yelling for more runs all my life. We had ’em 8 to 0 and got sunk.” a a a Hog on hoof. The otnrr night in New Turk 4.401 pounds of wrestling tonnage rioanrd, grunted and grimaced on the same card.

He plays with the Army eleven and is a sharpshooter with his toe in driving the ball out of bounds near enemy goal lines. Dick King, star Army end, looks the part of All-America talent. He is a bear for making tackles and at finding a way to horn in on nearly every play. Edgar Leach, Negro corporal, is King’s mascot and it alwpys is arranged to have a jilace for him on the Army bench i to keep the good luck rolling King's way. The West Point ace is superstitious that way, and as a result the mascot obtains a better view of games than the cash customers. a a a Thirty years ago ten Indianapolis diamond pastimers were holding down jobs with prominent professional leagues.
