42. THE AtTOONA ARMY FOOTBALL SQUAD ENTRAINS FOR WEST COAST TRIP thirteen Coach Special Given Bousing; Sen doff at West Point as Qridders Make Themselves Comfortable In Palatial Train. EN ROUTE TO CALIFORNIA IN THB ARMY 20. A nharnel house fog, dank and cold, sheathed the highlands of the Hudson as Army football special clanked and chugged out at the little gray stons station at West Point. The engineer sounded his whistle crescendo- fashion when he felt the driving wheels hold and the thlrtcen-car caravan pick" up momentum.
Ho headed north for Albany, the first lap of a journey to Palo Alto, hard by the Golden date. hundred cadets, about half the corps, lined the cliff road that slants down sharply from the plains to the river's brink and shouted themselves hoarse. It was one of their rare chances to let oft a little steam, to act like human beings, to escape the Spartan routine that orders every moment of their lives at the Military academy. Nona Of the entraining football players got a bigger hnnd from the gallery than Prank Wandle, ruddy-faced trainer. Wandle is the KalstaHlan- girthed chap in gray knickers and black baseball cap who walks with carefully measured tread from the bench to glvo first aid to Army players stricken In action.
You know him well if you've seen West Point play. He carries a little black bag with a dignity worthy of an old school doctor and never, never hurries. Wandle is something more than a football trainer. He is a foster father to every man on the Army aquad They take their troubles to him, ask his advice, and hoed his counael. The first two years at the Academy with their rigorous dlnclpllne and hurah military routine throw a savage nerve strain on lonely, homesick cadets, who were pampered and coddled at home.
The, kindly Wandle ministers to the ills of the spirit as well as those of thn body. He is 1 a sort of paternal symbol of tha llfo these gray-clad robots huvn left behind. Aboard the Army special, Wandle found his training sanctum reproduced on through the courtesy of the Santa Fo railroad. Baggage car No. 1 has been converted Into n.
miniature field house. The Interior is as chock lull 'Of electric gadgets as a submarine control room. Four rubbing tables lend a businesslike ''touch to the training cur. But 11 IB installation of real honcst-to- goodness shower baths that strikes care-hardened railroad men dumb. Talk about your Twentieth Century limited that luxuriously equipped train la just an accommodation rattler alongside the Army special.
Twelve individual shower baths, coach compartment lined with sheet iron take up the hind end of tho car. Touch the "hot" level and a piping jet of water cascades about your shoulders. You can get well blistered it you don't regulate the control valve properly. 'The Army squad had hopes of un- limberlng somewhat at Chicago but no i4Udh thing Happened due lo the blizzard that is sweeping this central region. Perhaps late today the Army will be able to leave the train to stretch, The special was threa hours late before reaching METRO UUCKl'INS.

FOSTER. (Copyright, 1929, by Altoona Mirror.) NEW YORK, Dec. Stoler Is not to be an active member of tho Boston Nationals next season.
The first baseman to start for Boston is Johnny Noun who was with Baltimore in 1929. About both of these players there is baseball history in a nature much out of the ordinary. George Staler was always good ball player. Baseball men began to hear of him when ho played with Akron, O. High school.
He was born near Cincinnati, far down in the southwestern corner of Ohio. Ho subsequently moved to Barberton, O. which is near Akron. The University of Michigan heard of Sisler, They thought he would make a splendid addition to their baseball nine and he did. In 1911 he was assigned to the Akron Ohio and Pennsylvania league club, but never reported to it.
In 1912 title to Sisler was transferred to Columbus, but again he refused to report. Pittsburgh held title to him Jn 1913 and 1SH, but Sisler still refused to report. As he had not played professional baseball, although claimed 'by a professional club, Michigan used him on the team. All this time Barney Dreyfuss claimed original title to him through a deal antedating all others. Tho next thing heard of him was that Sisler was with the.
St. Louis American league club. How he came to go there Is neither here nor there but an alumnus of Michigan might Bivylon B. Buyle 130 17S Moore 124 135 W.

The national commission decided against Dreyfuss, the deciding vote being cast by Garry Hermann.
There began the downfall of the national commission. Dreyfuss was bitter against Herrmann, He Insisted that the decision was contrary to the evidence and that ho had protected hie rights to Sisler In every way that the national commission deemed necessary but this didn't change Herrmann's mind. Sisler Improved greatly as a ball player and in 1922 he was the best playev In the country. In 1823 he couldn't see and ha didn't play a game. Later he was manager but 4hat didn't suit so ho was sold to Washington in 1027.
Boston Nationals got him next at the price. Johnny Neun played first base for Detroit when Morlarty was manager and he astonished the American league by his skill. "He is the coming first baseman of the American league," Morlarty said then. But he never arrived. He seemed to have exhausted his baseball skill in one brief period.

He has had hla ears battered down once or twice in that time, fighting lightweights like Phil McGraw and Stanislaus Loayzo, but he has always been willing and ready and able to fight, which Is more than can be said for most of our champions of recent years.
