TEAM SPIRIT
Jimmy O’Connell Is
Victim of Giant Man-r
. ager’s Harsh Policy .
NEW YORK. August 16.—How
far can a. manager go in disciplining
a, ballplayer Without killing his
spirit? Or to put if differently. can
fear conquer and destroy a young
player who shows promise of future
greatness?
The Giants paid 75,000 for Jim-
my O'Connell. As ivory prices go—
ad they certainly go too far—-
O'Connell was worth everything they
paid for him. He had speed. youth.
personality and a good batting eye.
The one thing he lacked was big ex-
perience.
Of course, he made many mis-
takes last year, his first year with
the Giants. In one close- game. with
men on bases, instead of trapping
a. liner to centre, he tried to makqa
shoe-string catch. The ball went for
extra bases. Jimmy was benched. He,
stayed benched for the duration of
the season. He stayed benched all
this season. A few days ago Me-
Graw asked him to get a. new seat
put in his trousers. That. done, he
sent. him into right field to; take
Young's place while )I'oung was in
the hospital. _
O'Connell's Vlaying has been just
fair. The truth of the matter is
that he is scared. When a. ball is hit
in his direction he seems to think it
over, not twice. but several times
before making a pic. on it. There is
nothing colorful about him any
more. He is Just another player
who is thinking about his job.
Perhaps it is this spirit of dis-
cipline—the iron heel stuff—that
makes the Giants as colorless as
they are. That, too. may account for
the fact that they are drawing for
loss at the gate than the Yanks. The
fight for the pennants has nothing
to do with it. The Yanks drew bet—
ter last year when they were fifteen
games in the lead than the Giants
do now. And the National League
pennant is not quite decided yet.
Miller Huggins has been criticised
for not. having complete control over
his men. The Yankees always have
insist: ,. on being individual. And
\‘slrr‘ Many of them know u
m- vent the game as Huggins

NEW’ HAVEN... Aug. 16.—Dr.
“'illiam T. Bull. who since his gradu-
ation from Yale University in 1888.
has been one of the chief football
coaches here will drill no more
Blue teams unless his present grim
fight against the white plague is
successful, it. was learned here to-
manager of the Yale Athletic As-
day. Harold Woodcock, general
sociation. has admitted that “Billy"
Bull would not return here this fall
and that. the old coach’s health is
in serious condition.
“Doc" Bull is at present confined
to the Misg Rutherford sanitrium
at Biltmorc, N. C., where he is
waging a. game but desperate fight
against the ravages of tuberculosis.
According to advices received here.
attending medical experts are opti-
mistic concerning “Doc" Bull's
chances of recovery but despite
their hopes is known that the popu-
lar coach is in such ill health that
he may never be seen on a, Yale
football field as an active mentor
again. '
Since his graduation. Doctor
Bull has taken much time from his
extensive medical practive here to
devote many long hours to Yale
grid squads. Prior to the war, he
was off and on t coaching staff as
his time would permit but since
then he has been a regular mem-
ber of the coaching board. Both

The wild dogs of Mongolia are
said to be the fiercest creatures in
the world. Members of scientific
expeditions going into the interior
must be prepared at all times to de-
fend themselves against these ani-
mals. The Mongolia believe that
when a person is about to die that
the bad spirits enter the body and
when death has occurred the bod-
ies are for that reason disposed of
at once. The corpse is placed on a
roughly-built wagon and dragged
over the roughest roads and finally
it is thrown off to be devoured by
the wild doxzs. which operation is
supposed to get rid of the bad spir-
its.

Leonard. world's lightweight

afternoon. James J. Johnston
tried in vain to induce Leonard
to accept an August date. John-

their belief that Leonard will be
able to resume training in a few

Leonard insisted. however, that
because of the importance of tho

risk his millon dollar hands until
they were in condition to bear the
brunt of hard punching.

Now On for Septem-
ber 4 '
NEW YORK. Aug. 16.—The long—
Genaro tiywelght championship duel
is definitely on.
Villa. the almond-eyed Filipino
who travelled half way around the
world to win the world's title. will
defend his all against the American
crown bearer over the fifteen rounds
trail at Henderson's Bowl. Brook-
lyn. on Spetember 4.
The seating capacity of the bowl
is 19.000. Promoter Charles Hend-
erson has decided to charge 82 to
$10 for the greatest battle between
little men ins. decade.
Phil Bernstein. manager of Gen-
aro. will sign the articles today. It
is reasonable to believe that Villa.
will receive 37 and a half to 12 and
a half for the Italian. A
Several days ago it was said that
the match was to be staged at either
the Yankee Stadium or Polo grounds
for some charity. Bernstein was
ready to sign for Get-Taro. but Frank
Churchill, who manages Villa. either
was not satisfied with the financial
’fet'l'fllbr nman't mm to have hit
charge tight at any other place but
the Brocklyn stadium.
Bernstein decided to come out
from under yesterday and he got
in touch with Henderson. with the
result that he promised him to close
the match.
. Their Third Encounter.
This will be the third encounter
between this pair of fighting cocks.
The first. time Genaro trounced the
Filipino in ten rounds at ‘Ebbets
Field, Brooklyn. in the summer of
1922. In spite of this Pancho beat
Frankie to a. crack at Johnny But!

Ever since then they have been
hemming and hawing. trying to
come to some terms. but neither
would govo in an inch. Tex Rick-

and it fell through. Then the
charity cause came along and Rick-
ardand Jimmy Johnson were suppos-
ed to have clinched the match, but.
once more nothing came of it.

NEW YORK. August. '16.—Thls
afternoon. and for the third time in
as many fears, Miss Helen Wills of
Berkeley. Cal.. and Mrs. Molla. Bjur-
stedt Mallory of New York meet. in
the title round of the women's na-
tionalllawn tennis championship.
It is. so to speak, the “rubber" en-
gagement between this sterling pair
since the demure Helen. then a six-
teen—year-old school girl with a fly-
ing pigtail flaunting at each stride.
became a. national tennis figure. As
a pigtailed youngster she failed to
win the coveted honor. but. a year
later. just. one year ago. there was
no checking her triumphant drive,
and Mrs. Mallory. title-holder for a
half dozen years, fell before her by
one sided scores of 6—2. 6—1.
Their meeting this afternoon at 2
p. m. ,in the stadium of the “fest
Side Tennis Club. Forest Hills. L. 1.,
should prove a. tennis classic. and a
capacity throng of 12,000 persons is
expected to form the thrilled gallery.
The brilliant pair gained the ulti-
mate singles bracket yesterday after-
noon. Miss Wills through her semi-
final. and while Miss Wills was the
Miss Mary Browne. a. sister Califor-
nian. and Mrs. Mallory by means of
a. 6—3. 6—4 semi-final victory over
a. sister Gothamite. Miss Eleanor
Goes.
Stimulating engagments were
those semi-finals, particularly that
in which Miss ‘Vills and Miss
Browne were the participants.
The latter. herself the champion a
dozen years ago. had by means of
the most rigorous training. regain-
ed all her old-time cunning and skill.
and entered the current tournament
determined once more to win back
her long lost title. Her initial East-
ern campaign. that at Sea. Bright
two weeks ago. had met. with suc-
cess. and a week of practice spent in
Northern New York which followed
that success had further fitted her
for her fight. for the title.
With inspiring skill she ramped
through the earlier rounds of the
title tournament and with a. re-
markable display 'of pluck in a tight
battle with Miss Mayne MacDonald.
the national clay court champion.
she advanced to yesterday's semi-
final .and while Miss Wills was the
general favorite there were not a.
few in the large west side gallery
who believed the court cunning and
splendid stroking of the veteran
would bring her a triumph over the
champion. Their one doubt con-
cerned the lasting powers of Miss
Browne. They opined a hard first
set would find her much too spent to
offset the vigor of her more youthful
opponent.
A hard first set developed a first
set. which went to ten games. with
many of the rjlmes many times
deuced. but the more fatigued of-the
contestants at the end of that set
was not Miss Browne but Miss Wills.
That fatigue became more evident
in the long second set. a. set which
through masterly strategy. terrific
pace and amazing accuracy. saw
Miss Browne the victor and the
match squared.
But youth. the imperturbable
youth of Helen Wills, was not to be
denied. The chestnut-haired cham-
pion. steady as the proverbial rock.
flashed I brand of tennis that even
the valiant: Miss Browne could not
match. and the laurel crown nestled
on chestnut tresses at the conclu-
sion of the deciding set.
