Murphy, now coaching letics, laments the passing of -this most intricate, and interesting phase of the game, as it was practised in the days gone by. "Very little signal Hpplig goes on in the big leagues to-day," declares | Murphy. "It isn't-that the coaches! are unable to discover the signals | the other fellows are Gsing. That | is no more difficult now than it was in the past. The drawback is that | the Ath-| the players don't care to use them.' They don't care to ran the risk of] being tipped off wrong, so they go up there and use their own judg- ment." _ Murphy recalled, with a reminis- cent smile, how the old Athletics used to pilfer Gabby Street's signals. "Gabby used to catch for Wash- ington," reminded Murphy. "He would fake his signals with his hands and give the real ones with his eyes. When he closed his eyes it was a fast ball. Open eyes meant a hook. We won a lot of games by watching Gabby's eyes and he never knew it, "We used to beat the old Tigers in a single way. Oscar Stanage would give his signals - with his mouth, When he wanted a fast one he'd open his mouth, a hook he'd close it. : "Oscar thought the wire on the mask protected him from detection, and it did. But we new ched Oscar's mouth. We alwa¥s watched the mesk; cad-we-adticed whenever he opened his mouth his chin. would force the Hy down about two inches, "That was oe tipoff, and as far as |. I know Oscar never found us out. At any rate, he never changed his system and we followed it with ef- fect for several years." Expects Lee to Deliver. Manager Lee Fohl is confident Dudley Lee will fill the gap at short- stop for the Red Sox. Les was the property of the St. Louis Browns, wlio hated to part with him. Play- ing with Tulsa, a club thiit works with the Browns, Owner Ball was afraid Judge Landis might declare Lee a free agent if he recalled him. The judge took such action in sev- eral similar cases. > Erratic at the Bat. George Grantham, second baseman of the Chicago Cubs, had a peculiar year of it at the bat last season. He finished with the healthy average of .280, batted in 70 runs, yet led the 'eague in the matter of strikeouts. Bibe Ruth, in the American League, went back to the bench 93 times on strikes during the 1923 campaign.

Yale and Harvard Tennis Teams to Tour Europe Cambridge, Mass., April 1.--Plans for a tour of England, France and possibly Spain, the most extensive ever undertaken by the tpamis teams of Harvard and Yale, are being made by manager Harry Eldridge of Har- vard). The combined teams, -accord- ing' fo present plans, will sail for England, July 6th, after the inter- collegiate championships at Merion, Pa. They will meet 'club teams in and around London, after which the teams will play Oxford and Cam- bridge in 'their annual Jnternational tournament, a three day affair 'to be held at Eastbourne. In the proposed trip to the com- t tentative matches with the ¥rehch and Spanish Davis Cup teams in their respective countries already have been arranged. In addition several of the leading club teams of Paris will be met. The teams will make San Sebastian their headquar- ters if they go to Spain. They will September. Courts will be provided tor the players on shipboard to enable them to keep in training. Arnold W. Jones, Yale captain, is the only veteran of the Ell trio that went to England two- years ago.

Who will be professional cham- They look after their PILOTS SOON WILL ) LEAVE COACH LINEs | The time is not far distant in ma-] Jor league baseball when only the fortunate and observing fans will catch a glimpse of the team man- ager. on the coaching lines, writes Frank O'Neill in the New York Sun. The coaching manager will follow the playing manager to the bench. At this time there are only four play- ing managers in the major leagues. We raise the old gGuestion concerning George Sisler of St. Louis, and do] | not include the once peerless first | | sacker. " Tyrus Raymond Cobb 'of the Detroit Tigers, Tris Speaker of the Indians gnd Stanley Harris of Wash- ington are playing leaders of the American league, while Dave Ban- croft of the Braves is the only active leader in the National league. Connie Mack and John J. McGraw, who set the pace in winning major league pennants, do not get into tni- forms at all. Branch Rickey gen- erally wears civilian attire on the bench while Wilbert Robinson of the Robins very frequently omits the formality of donning the flannels; Miller Huggins, too, when his health is not the best, allows Charley O'Leary to carry his messages to the umpires, for under the rules only those in uniform may appear on the playing field during a game. Most of the managers, however, get out on the coaching lines for part of the game. Especially is this so when things are not going well with the team. There is still the feeling among fans that the leader should be out there to give his orders in person, and to protect fully the best interests of his team. Yet, when we get right down to brass tacks, the manager is of greatest service when squatted right on the bench scanning the field and picking' out the weak spots in the enemy lines, and his own, too. MORE YOUTH AOQUIRED BY h : LOCAL SENIOR BALL TEAM "Another announcement that will be met with joy, by Kingston base- ball fans is that of the signing for the coming season of "Lonnie" Pur vis of last year's Circle-Six team. Purvis is a big, hard-hitting, excel- lently-performing youngster and with proper handling will develop into a real baseball player. He was a favorite with fans last season and won the sportsmanship trophy of the junior series. "Lonnie" will be a decided acquisition. tg the local Cen- tral Ontario outfit, HAWAIIAN GOLFER TO Francis H. I.
