Oilier Gossip Anent the Grand
Old Pastime
1 (Hy Billy Eans)
I landing the majors in pitching
seems to lie a .iinx that plays havoc
with a twirler's showing the follow.
inn s' ason.
It is the history of baseball that
leading pitchers seldom repeat. In
11 (.Tint many cases the next season
is a disast rous one.
Take the ca.ses of Georpe L'hlc
. and Adolph Lnriue. They led the
American and National, respectively.
'in 13?."!. Last season was a de
cidedly tousli one for both of them.
Just why this bhonld be the case
is difficult of explanation. The gen
era! belief is that fnost pitchers are
. inclined to grow careless after a
bis year.
i When a pitcher is winning he
t must be physically fit, get much as
sistance from his teammates and be
favored with, the breaks.
Sometimes after a big year a
I Pitcher is content to try to jrt. by
on his reputation with a resultant
lack of condition.
Then there is the ma'ter of psy-
jcholopry. Emotions play their part
In pitching success. The pitcher
. w ho is making a reputation is keyed
j up to his part. The. pitcher who
! has won fame appears satisfied to
I rest, on his laurels, takes too much
; for granted.
I Now that the world friPs is over
and Walter Johnson emerge, the
i hero after a poor atart, I am going
: to print the confessions of the great
Walter as to why he first failed.
In the opening clash, trt which
Johnson was defeated after 12 in
nings of battling, it was apparent to
me that something was wrong with
him. He was not working smoothly, j
Ordinarily a pitcher who performs
with almost machine-like precision,
Johnson appeared very nervous. He i
I would adjust his cap after almost ;
j every pitch.- hitch tip his trousers,
j rub his hand In the dirt on every I
' other ball pitched. j
I Usually a fast worker, Johnson j
, slowed up in his style so that he i
was much wilder in that first game .
ithan I had ever seen him.
j JVspitc. the fait that he struck;
lout a dozen Giants and it took 12 1
j innings to heat him, he was far from j
'being the Walter Johnson I hae'
known for years. !
I "It was .lust plain stage f right," j
j said Walter to me after the series. I
I "I'll bet no rookie making hia big I
.league d. but ever f'lt more nervous j
!than I did in that first came. The!
I mental hazard of what the fans ex
pected of me was ever present. I
1 wasn't nat ura I."
That sounded rather funny com
ing from a pitcher who has faced
: hundreds of tougher spots than the!
opening game of a world series. I
without having the slightest emo-f
tions. I
"It was entirely different in the'
last, game of the series," continued I
'Walter. "Alter having been beaten
twice, then getting an opportunity to!
deliver aftr I believed the f,erjr., !
jwa-s over as far as I v.nn concerned, ;
.the d'-cidini.- ha'tle. was just a hail i
1 game to me. j
! "Although in trouble in every;
one of the last four innings I j
.worked, there never was a time, that
I was worried.
"I know it looked bad after Kriscli
tripled with only one out but I felt i
sure I would get the next two men. ;
"In the first game I was never,
sure of myself. jn thr ,t Mm !
I always felt that the Giants were 1
going to be beaten after we once tie.j !
the scji-o."

(My Joe Williams)
The original Jack pempsey, Joe
Choyrski. Tommy Ryan, Kid McCoy
and Stanley Ketehel were the the
finest middlewelghts of all time.
Harry Greb at least comes next.
Greb is the present champion. He
is no more like the great, battlers of
bygone days than a Corot landscape
is reminiscent of a burlesque show
bill poster.
Greb is "different." Of all the
freaks the game has ever known the
Pittsburgh windmill, aptly nanrd,
is the freakiest. Groh hasn't a
single punch in his repertory. He
tells you that himself. '
"I've got a good swing though,"
he adds. "A left swing to the body
that seems to hurt the boys,"
Old-timers used (0 marvel at Abe
Attrll. featherweight champion. Ahe
would sit up all night drawing to
full houses and then go out the next
day and take on touch lightweights
like Tommy Murphy over the SO
round route.
Greb is much like that. Some
months ago Greb was matched to
meet Tiger Flowers. Georgia south-
paw. at Fremont, O. The Tiger is
a oanseruiia cuiorn eni, hs ne nas
just proved to Johnny Wilson. The
Tiger was in their to win that fight.
A lot of smart money was riding on
him. A knockout would make him
champion.
Greb was tipped of. It worried
the champion to such an extent
that he did all his training riding
around the country in an automo
bile. Greb likes a pood time. If
figh'ing Interferes with his pleasure!
he stops fighting. j
Wonder Le g t arry Grch Through 1
Greb's legs make him great. They
are durable, speedy and powerful. :
They carry him forward and back-1
ward with Incredible swiftness. This
accounts foe his ability to htt quick- '
!y and g. t. away without being hit.
George Kngle managed Greb into:
the championship. Engle is no longer
connected with Greb but he has I
nothing but admiration for him. j
"Greb is the strongest fighter I J
ever saw," Kngle tells you. "and on
of the. greatest. He is the only fight- (
er in the world who starts one
punch, ihar.ges his mind and de.
livers another. He will start a right,
then switch tr, a h ft. or just the re. ,
- erse Aivi r.r.t r-nce w in he miss: o

himself.
"Greb was upjr-r me the night he
whipped Tanrnv Gibbons.' The re
sult was a tremendous surprise.
Gibbons ha i always beaten Greb. In
this fight 1 made Orcb stand up
straights r, fl cot his punches
stralghtrr and fnh' clean. Greb likes
to rought n but he is a better fi ghter
when he do.-s net ignore the rules."
Gibbons Hail (,reb Out on His Fret
Kngle lays Gibbons bad Greb out
on his feet In the second round by
was foold by Greb's acting. Gibbons
got home a ferrifc left hook and it
shook Greb to tt 0 toes. Instead of
going into a ciim h or backing away
Greb began to dance up and down
and smi'e.
Gibbons s'oed fill to enjoy the
spectacle. It cost him the fight.
Greb's bean soon cleared and then
he came on to ghr the St. Paul harp
one of the worst whippings he e'.cr
got.
Grrb lias a'.wavs wai.'e. to meet

Effort Being Made to Bring
Passaic Team Here -
The 1924-25 basketball schedule
for the high school quintet, si op
proved at the mectinr of the school
board yesterday afternoon, provides
for 12 gamea, evenly divided between
the local and foreign floors, nlthoiiRh
three of these dates arc still open,
December 19 for an out-of.fown
game and January 18-17 and Febru
ary 27-28 for home contests. The
game here with New Haven, tenta
tively scheduled for January SI, has
not yet been definitely settled.
The possibility of bringing Pas
saic's wonder team to this city was
discussed at the meeting. Last yenr
the Ped and Gold CjUlntet played
this long unbeaten team on the New
Jersey tenm's home door and held
it to the lowest score in its run of
150 victories. With practically the
same lineup this year, the local hoys
feel that they would stand a good
chance of breaking Passaic's record
run of triumphs.
Superintendent Holmes reported
that, according to Coach George
Cassldy, the Passaic team was averse
to playing except on Its own floor.
P. F. King, president of the school
hoard, said that he honied such a
game could he arranged, as it would
rreat as much enthuslastp over
high school basketball as fliere is
over football both among the. stu
dents and outsiders. This would
cause increased attendance at games
and also bring more candidates ut
for the squad. The schedule is aa
follows;
Saturday, December 13, 1924
Crosby at New Britain.
Friday, December 19, 1924 Open
for an out-of-town game.
Saturday, January 10, 1925 St.

Colgate's Football Captain-Has
BriKIant Career
, Hamilton, N. Y Doc. 13. J. Kd.
ward "Eddle'J Tryon, of Southwlck,
Mass., who has just been chosen by
his teammates to lead the 1925 Col
gate gridiron team, is one of Ihe
greatest backs ever turned out at
Colgate, ranking with Huntington,
Olllo, Andersou ' and Webster
names that havo an exulted place In
Colgate s athletic history.
For throe years the mighty Tryon
has led his team in scoring. In these
campaigns he has scored no less
than 39 touchdowns for a total of
234 points. For two seasons the
brilliant work of Tryon has been
known all over tho country, wher
ever and whenever Colgate football
has been discussed. During the past
two campaigns he has been second
nnd' third in scoring In the east, be
sides proving to be one of tho best
football plnyers in this part of the
football world.
Tryon is a triple threat star of
unusual ability. Throughout the
psst season ho was the team's pun
ter and his boots have been far
above the average. Ho has develop
ed into a capalwc forward passer.
He has caught punts, kicked off.
caught passes, and waV the best in
terferer and the surest tackier in the
Maroon backflcld. As a broken field
tunner, whom there is no stopping
once he IS through the first defense.
he has few equals in the gild world.
Against Ohio State last year, the
Colgate ace made 390 yards in car
rying the ball 12 limes. In his first
year on the varsity, he ran wild
against Columbia, scoring five touch
downs. In fact In every game dur
ing the past three years tho work of
