from his native Springfield, Mass., Doyle was the intimate of such sports celebrities as Christy MathYewson, Diamond Jim Brady, Willie Hoppe and heavyweight champions since the reign of John L. Sullivan.

Picked Tunney Fight

Born in Springfield, March 9, 1876, Doyle worked seven years at the racetracks as a sheetwriter after |arriving in New York. In 1806 he met the late John McGraw and, in partnership with McGraw and Jockey Tod Sloan, opened a billiard | parlor which became the headquar-

‘| ters of New York's sporting element.

He prided himself on being ‘one of the few” who picked Gene Tunney to defeat Jack Dempsey for the heavyweight crown in September, 1926. . | Closing his billiard academy in 1937, the little Irishman continued to fix the odds on all major sporting events. By this time he had become legend as “Honest John” Doyle, a percentage man who would lay odds on everything but horse races. ‘Even London bookmakers aroused him in the middle of the night to obtain prices on yacht races.

liguidation of two clubs owned out-

right in the Texas and Piedmont leagues. General Manager Jack Zeller announced that the Beaumont club of the Texas league would be turned over to Ernest Lorbeer, a Detroit scout. Lorbeer, president of the Exporters last season, may continue operation of the club with the help of Beaumont businessmen, Zeller said. For more than a'’decade Beaumont has furnished the Tigers with many of their stars, including Hank Greenberg, Rudy York, Linwood (Schoolboy) Rowe and Barney McCosky. The franchise of the second club, Winston-Salem, N. C., in the Piedmont league, has been turned over to another Tiger scout, Zinn Beck. This club has been a Tiger farm for the past two years. Further retrenchments will reduce the Tigers scouting staff to three men, Zeller said, because “the immediate future of haseball doesn’t

However, the Tigers will continue |®
