TRIES NOVEL SCHEME
Leo Munchenberger of Santa Mon-
ica, Calif., president of the Munchen-
berger Wall Paper and Paint company
of Kansas City, Mo., who was unani-
mously voted the “ideal boss” by his
employees. He gave each one $3(1
with the provision that they buy some- i
thing immediately. The only strings
attached to the offer were that the
money was not to be used for payment
of old bills nor as the first payment
on new installment plan purchases.
This novel experiment was introduced
in an effort to stimulate buying and
overcome the business depression.

I Seeing Big League I
BASEBALL
By BILLY EVANS
Sportswriter, Big League Umpire
and General Manager of the
Cleveland Indians
Mr. Bamum, who doped it out that
the public liked to be bunked, surely
was a wise guy.
I shall never forget an incident that
took place in Washington about a doz-
en years back. I figured in the epi-
sode, which had all the earmarks of
being inside stuff; as a matter of fact,
literally, it was just that. The Phil-
adelphia Athletics, then world champs,
were playing Washington.
Throughout the game either the
Washington or Philadelphia players
were constantly congregating about
Bender or Johnson, the opposing
pitchers, seemingly offering words of
wisdom to those two great pitchers.
First, the shortstop would go into
conference with the pitcher, then it
would be the first baseman or catcher.
Not to be outdone, the second and
third baseman also made it a point to
have their say.
“Plenty of strategy is being pulled
today,” surmised the fans, but there
wasn’t. In reality the line of conver-
sation was much as follows:
“Take your time; you must have a
date for dinner.” v
“What about a chew of tobacco?
I’m all out and this ball game isn’t
going to continue until some one sup-
plies me with some scr»o.”
“Why the hurry? Is the ball hot?
Slow up on those ginks; keep them
waiting; they’re more worried than
you.”
Every inning dragged along. It was
simply impossible to finish a single
session without on6 or the other team
going into a tedious conference. Then
along came the seventh inning with
Philadelphia leading 4 to 3.
Jack Egan was calling balls and
strikes that day. I was umpiring the
bases. Suddenly I saw him raise his
arm, and in a loud shout “Time!” I
wondered why. Egan walked half
way down the foul line to first, then
with a commanding wave of the arm,
he called me over for a conference.
“Well, what’s the trouble? I was
just beginning to think we would fin-
ish an inning without any interruption
when you called time. Anything se-
rious?”
“I should say not.” Egan smiled as
lie said It. “You know these players
have been making themselves look
wise all afternoon with their counter-
feit conferences, so I just decided they
wouldn’t have a tiling on us. If the
Athletes can bunk the fans so can we,
Where will we eat tonight?”
I suggested a well-known restaurant,
noted in those days for its good food,
and he agreed to my selection.
“What will we eat?”
“Well, I’m hungry, Jack, and feel
like pouncing on a sirloin steak,
baked, potato, head lettuce salad, cof-
fee, and apple pie a la mode.”
“Suits me perfectly; I’ll be ready
for some real food when we finish this
long-di*awn-out affair.” Then with an-
other wave of the hand, Egan sum-
moned the Washington announcer, and
naming the restaurant we had decided
upon, he gave him the following in-
structions :
“Just as soon as you get time, call
up John, the head waiter, tell him
Billy Evans and Jack Egan will be
down to dinner at six-thirty, and or-
derxtwo sirloin steaks, one well done,
one medium, also baked potato, head
lettuce, coffee and apple pie a la mode
for two.”
All the time I was expecting some
wise-cracking fan to yell: “Come on
and play ball! You guys are not sup-
posed to do any thinking. You couldn’t
if you were expected to.” But no
one did. However, I was pleased
when Egan walked away and called
“Play ball.”
A pinch hitter produced base
hit the Washington fans had been
praying for, and the score, was tied.
Instead of the game ending in nine
innings, it took Washington fourteen
to get the verdict. I might add that
we were an hour late for dinner, also
that our steaks were far from pala-
table; both were too well done. The
inside stuff had gone wrong both on
and off the ball field.

Hank Binder Makes Flying Leap1
Red Woodworth, left guard of the Northwestern University football
team, is trying to stop a flying leap made by Capt. Hank Bruder in a
practice game.
Coach Dick Hanley has been putting
his team of Wildcats through, one of
the most strenuous early season work-
outs ever handed out to a Northwest-
ern squad.
The makeup of the Wildcats’ first
string eleven will have Jack Riley and
Dallas Marvil, the two regulars at
tackle. These boys make a great pair,
the former weighing 210 and the latter
223. Then there is Paul Engebretson,
a 200 pounder, hanging around as a
reserve.
Frank Baker and Larry Ollphant,
both regular ends from last year, nat-
urally have the call on the flank jobs,
although they will find considerable
competition in Ralph Eylar of last
year’s squad and some sophomores, in-
cluding Dick Fencl, Cliff Fogarty, and
Harold Nunn.
Red Woodworth, 190 pounder, is
strongly entrenched at left guard
while Harry Kent and Jimmie Evans
are fighting over the other job. They
weigh 180 and 175 respectively. Red
Clark heads up the center position
with Harold Weldon and Paul Mc-
Donald, two sophomores, also making
a bid for the assignment.
Such a layout gives the Wildcats a
fairly seasoned line except at center
and one guard position. The candi-
dates for these two positions are
shaping up well, however, and barring
injuries, the forward wall should be
able to give an excellent account of
itself.
Capt. Hank Bruder and A1 Moore
lead the halfback contingent with Lee
Hanley the choice at quarter. A three-
way fight is being waged over the
fullback position between Harry
Pritchard, understudy to Bergherm
last year, and Pug Rentner and
Reb Russell, two sturdy sophomores.

GRID GAME WILL
REVEAL PLAYERS
Some Athletes Are Thankful
for Their Training.
“Quarrel with athletic sport as we
will,” says Le Baron Russell Briggs of
Harvard, “and regret as we must that
in institutions of learning it seems to
turn relative values topsy-turvy, no re-
cent observer of young men can deny
that in some men’s education—in the
development of their character—it is
a mighty force.
“There are doubtless athletes who,
when the excitement of their playing
• days is over, betake themselves to ln-
j ferior excitements and to not much
else. There are others who through-
out their lives are thankful for their
athletic training and practice which
fitted them for emergencies and helped
to make them men.
“Football supplies what President
Eliot calls a ‘new and effective mo-
tive for resisting all sins which weak-
en or corrupt the body’; it appeals to
ambition and to self-restraint; it
gives to crude youth a task in which
crude youth can attain finish and skill,
can feel the power that comes of sur-
mounting tremendous obstacles and of
recognition for surmounting them.
“As a student once observed, ‘when
a feller plays football, it doesn’t take
long to find out what kind of a feller
he is.’ ”
What sport requires the limit of hu-
man endurance? In what sport does
stamina stand the athlete in greatest
stead?
Joseph B. Fitton would name box-
ing as the first answer to these ques-
tions. Mr. Fitton is the trainer of
America’s International polo team. So
you may have only one guess as to
the sport he places next to boxing in
the business of requiring stamina.
“The high spirit of the competition
in a full S-chukker game of high goal
polo, the force and vigor of it are a
severe physical as well as mental
strain,” says Trainer Fitton. “To play
in International polo matches the play-
er must keep physically fit for a long-
er period than in most other sports.”
Yale’s football attack is expected
again this year to be built around AI-
bie Booth, the diminutive backfield
star whose scintillating gridiron per-
formances in his first year of varsity
play thrilled thousands last season.
Probably no major league ball club
has more likely looking youngsters
planted in the sticks than the New
York Americans.
Recently Ira Thomas, old-time catch-
er of the A’s, now scouting for Connie
Mack, came in from an ivory hunt
that took him through a dozen states.
The best ball player he saw was Short-
stop Werber of the Albany club of
the Eastern league. Ken Strong, play-
ing with Hazelton, also caught Thom-
as’ eye. Both of them are the prop-
erty of the Yanks. Thomas says they
are two to three years off from major
league strength now, but he rates them
as future sure greats under the Big
Top. ,
Ten coaches have charge of the Yale
football team this fall. Coach Osborn
will be assisted by nine former Yale
men, who will specialize on different
positions and plays. Some of the best
prep-school players in the East have
enrolled at Yale this season, but a list
of candidates for the team has not
been availably
