Any player who oxpocts that anoth er man will hand him anything in a hall gaum Just bocauso thoy happen to bo friendly whilo off tho Hold is 6razy, according to Manager Jennings. Hughio bollovos that no matter how strong tho tloa of affoctlon may bo tlipy will not stand tho tost of placing Damon and Pythias on opposlto sides in tho national gamo and expecting thorn to holp each other. Ho tolls n Etory to Illustrate his point. "Thoro wan a certain pitcher In tho National league at ono tlmo who had u peculiar nervous affection of tho facial mtiBcl03 that mado him appear to bo winking all tho tlmo. 1 will not mention his namo becauso ho may bo sonsitivo about this affliction, it you'd call It that. Ono day ho was pitching n tough gamo when ono of I1I3 chums, who happened to bo with tho other club at that tlmo, enmo to bat in a pinch. "Tho count had arrived at a point whoro tho battor was In a nolo, when ho noticed tho pitcher apparently winking at him. , "'Aha,' ho Bald to himsolf. 'Ho Is tipping mo tho wink that tho old fast ono is coming bocauso ho doesn't want to seo mo fall down with tho bases hllod. I'll just got a too hold and bu3t this ono a mile.' "Acting accordingly, ho took n lungo at tho next pitch, and, as it hnpponed to bo a curvo ball, ho missed it about a yard. As ho went out to his position ho walked up to tho pitcher and said very much in earnest: "'Hereafter, Frank, novcr mind about tipping mo off. I can do bettor when I uso my own judgment.' " SCHULTE HAS UNIQUE RECORD Veteran Chicago Outfielder Ha3 Been Banished From Game but Once In Ten Years. Frank Schulto, tho veteran Chicago outlioldcr, ha3 a uniquo record in base ball. Ho has only been put out of tho gamo by an umpire onco In ton yonrs. Schulto would not have boon banished thon excopt for tho fact that Umplro Finneran misunderstood him. Tho in cident occurred in 1912. Schulto was at bat, facing a situa tion whoro ho was supposed to hit at my ball that camo within reach. Ho foulod off two and was in tho holo.

Frank was so mad at himsolf that ho pounded on tho plato with hia bat, breaking it in two. Umplro Flnnoran thought Schulto was trying to lndlcato that ho had called a bad third otrlko, and put him out of tho game. CONFIDENCE IS GREAT ASSET Texas Giant Discovered In Training Camp Who Haa All Earmarks of Major League Pitcher. Confidenco sometimes counts for a lot. In tho first basubull game of the season In tho training camp of tho St. Louis Cardinals tho San Antonio Bron chos whitewashed tho Cardinals, and incidentally discovered a Texas giant who has all tho earmarks of a groat pitcher. "I can pitch ao good as any of those guya out thoro," said Stair, a young HorculcB from Lullng, Tox., who had npplled to Manager Loldy for a Job with tho BronchoB. "You'd hotter withdraw your appli cation, if you feel that way about It," Leldy retorted, "Honest, I mean It. GIvo mo a trial," porslated tho lanky Lullng youth. Put on tho mound, Stair created a sonsatlon, striking out tho Cardinals right and loft, a;id allowing only ono Bcratch hit in tho four Innings ho was permitted to pitch. 9fr JBSt tnutimuiiwi -.TJHlili HttHoi mm ' 1 ih.m ., jnfly i WhMf(: ntmtrr.itaamzjrKZt .-.-Jr . &r. mtmffizrr&z?ftj2Si.

It 1b expected that Oakcs will do much !o bolster up tho Interest In tho league. Dakos was manager of tho Pittsburgh team of tho Foils when tho poaco pact (vas mado In baseball. Ho was under s. contract at n high salary with o ncr Gwlnnor of tho Smoky City club, and is tho contract had ono moro year to run, Gwlnnor stood a chnnco of dig ging up a year's Balary without hav ing services rendered. When Doc Whlto, who had beon llgnod to mnnago tho Denver team, ro signed ho left McGlll in tho lurch, as Iho team was about ready to report for OSCAR STANAGE IS VALUABLE Billy Sullivan Rank3 Tiger Catcher Next to Ray Schalk Ib Patient With His Pltchors. High-grado pralso has como to Os :ar Stanago. Billy Sullivan rcgardB iho Californian as ranking next to Kay Schalk as tho best catcher in tho Amorlcan leaguo. "I do not know but thnt Stanago Is a more valuablo man to tho Tigers than Schalk would bo," saya Sullivan. Schalk is a high-strung fellow and ho Dhow a to best advantago with a good pitching staff. Stanago, on the other hand, is patlont and moro likely to get good work from an uncertain staff than Schalk, next to Eddlo Foster of tho Nationals, is tho hit and run bat tor in tho Amorican league. Fostor stands at tho top becauso of his un canny ability to shovo tho ball through cither Bido of tho inllold when tho runuor from first is going down. "If tho Whlto Sox had Fostor thoy would havo tho pennant won by tho first of Juno," says Jonnlngs. "Per sonally, I bollovo Foster la a, much Oscar Stanago. better second basoman than- third, and I wouldn't bo aurprlsed If Grif fith thought tho sumo way. Fostor la not only a lino fielder, but a danger ous batter and a good man on tho bases.". BASEBALL NOW TAME SPORT Veteran Writer Tells of Assignment Ho Received In Olden Days Editor Roasted Tebeau. "Basoball," says a- veteran wrltor, "Isn't aB atronuous, In many ways, aa It was years ago. I'll never forget ono assignment I draw in thoso lively days that alono would sufllco to show how times havo changed. "Ono afternoon Pat Tobcau was spe cially warlike attacked tho umplro aftor about overy Bocond decision and spiced tho argument with highly va riegated phraseology. My managing editor was in tho audience, and waa much fli8trated by Tobeau'a stylo of talk. That night my chief sent for mo. " 'Young man,' said ho, 'you heard tho languago that Tobeau person used this afternoon?' " 'Yea sir,' I responded. "'Woll,' thundered tho managing editor, 'that sort of thing must stop. Now, then, I want you to go up to Tdbcau's hotel, and tell him, firmly, emphatically, that ho can't uao that sort of talk In this city, and that you havo my orders, If ho rofuaoa to cut It, to roast him In tho columna of this paper! I'll show this Tobeau that ho can't bluff mo!' "Now, wasn't that a lovely littlo as signment to send a young roportor oar JSJBaraBOnjissgfc i, Bprlng training. Whlto quit basoball becauso n good business opportunity wna offered him. McQill began cast ing about for a manager, and ho was almost swamped with Inquiries from players nnd basoball men who aro look ing for jobs. Ho had Oakcs in mind from tho start, and immediately got into touch with Gwlnnor, with tho ro ault that McGlll agreed to assume tho Pittsburgh Fods' contract with Oakos. Oakes Jumped to tho Feds from tho St.x Louis Cardinals. Ho lives In Homer, La. Last season with tho FodB Onkos batted .281 in 153 games in tho outllold, Ho had a fielding average of .973. Ills right namo Ib Ennls T. Oukco. Torro Hauto will uso Paul Cobb, a brother of Tyrus, in Its outflold thla season. Ono thing that pleases tho ball play-' ors is that tho treasurers of tho 1X major leaguo teams aro all fixtures. Thero'll bo no nature-baiting by tho Indians this season. Manager Fohl will stand for no sonsoless kicking. Thoro Is a growing belief in basoball circles that Georgo Morlarty will play first baso for tho Whlto Sox this year. Adolpho Luquo, who has bees added to tho roster of tho Loulsvlllo club, was secured from tho Brooklyn Fed erals. Tho Kansaa City club of tho Amorl can association haa signed Outfloldor Deals Becker, lato of tho Philadelphia Nationals. Wllholt continues to please Stalllnga ao an outfielder. Paul Strand's south paw 'arm sconiB to bo strong aud re liable again. Tho Nashvlllo club of tho Southern leaguo has transferred Pitcher Heine Bcrger to tho Galveston club of the ToxaB league. Ira Thomas, Bush, Wycfctiff and Schang agreo that Itubo Bresuler will como back In great shapo for tho Ath letics this season. Floldcr Jones has decided to Ucop Bob Groom, although ho at first waa planning to Bond tho former Waahlug ton pitcher to tho minors. Pitcher Charles Ferguson of tho Philadelphia Americana will not Join tho Athletics this season, but will con- tlnuo to practice law at Wayne, W. Va. Recent pictures of baseball man agers published in nowspapers show a uniformly thoughtful cast of counto nance which betokens sorloua work ahead. Bill Schwartz, former manager of tho Nashvlllo team, haa retired from tho game and has ncceptod a position of coach of tho Vandorbilt university baseball squad. Pitcher "Lofty" Gcorgo has brought suit against tho Kansas City Ameri can Association Basoball company for $4,400.35, which ho alleges is'duo him on ?v coutract. With Leo Mageo and Fritz Malsel both in the outfield, tho ludlcutlona urn for a big Improvement in tho outer de fenses of tho Now York 'American leaguo baseball team. 1 Of Eugene Packard, tho loft-handcd pitcher, who haB gone to the Cuba, Leo Mageo sayB: "Another Wlltso at field ing his position." Which mqana that Packard la a ball hawk sure enough. Tho Cleveland Indiana will romaln Indiana, according to President Dunn, who Baya It will bo his business tf make them good Indians and so popu lar that nobody can Bay tho namo is a hoodoo, Leo Fohl, manager of tho Cleveland club, bolloves In ullowlng players to do their own thinking, and it la his contention that no man can pick up "basoball sonBO" If ho la bound by o dera from tho bonch.
