FRANK SMITH TO QUIT
“Piano
Mover.” Noted Pitcher,
Eyes Restaurant.
Former Chicago White Sox Player
Satisfied With Cincinnati Contract
Loses Heart to Pittsburg
Cafe.
Frank Smith, the piano mover, for
mer pitcher of the Chicago White Sox,
has arrived home from a trip to Eu
rope and says be probably will quit
baseball for good to embark in the res
taurant business. Smith has been
dickering for a cafe in Pittsburg and
if be lands it says it is au revoir to
tbe dear old game for all time, so far
as he is concerned.
The Cincinanti club has returned
Smith's contract for his signature,
having accepted the big pitcher's
terms. Smith says he intends to quit
while his services are sought instead
of waiting until he is kicked out. He
believes, however, he could go along
for a year or so longer for the Cin
cinnati team and that he would pitch
good ball. The strenuous life of the
d.amend has lost its charm for the
hefty piano toter. to hear him talk,
and be longs for tbe quiet and inde
pendence of business life.
“Now. this is none of your holdout
yarns, for this very day I received a
contract from the Cincinnati club,
which accepted my terms. This was
the second contract 1 received from
the club. The first one did not suit
me and I returned it hnd told what I
wanted. Today I got the document
calling for my terms. But I will not
return It until I find out where I can
land the place of business 1 am seek
ing And I want to tell you that con
ducting a cafe will be much easier
Prank Smith,
than standing out there in the hot sun
trying to toil hitters."
Frank Smith was one of the oldest
members of the White Sox squad
when he was traded to the Boston Red
Sox in 1910 along with Billy Purtell
fof Harry I»rd and Ambrose McCon
nell. That trade became famous in
baseball history for its one-sidedness.
Neither Smith nor Purtcll was of any
value to Boston, while Harry Lord
is considered one of the greatest play
ers in baseball, and McConnell would
be nothing less than a wonder had he
not met with misfortune in crippling
him up.
Smith did valiant service for the
White Sox in 1000. when he helped
win the pennant in the American
Rcse Sets New Record.
A new world's record is claimed for
Ralph Rose, the well known athlete
who at an indoor meeting given un
der the auspices of the Olympic club
at San Francisco threw the rubber
shot 4? feet inches. Rose's new j
record beats the previous record. >
made by W W. Coe of Boston, by 1
toot 3^4 inches. Coe threw the rub- 1
ber shot 47 feet G*j inches.
Boston American's New Home.
The Boston American league base
ball grounds are now under construc
tion. The plant will be ready for oc
cupancy in the spring of 1912, and
will be much larger than the club’s
former home. Id Huntington avenue,
Boston. It is said the new park will
cost Dearly 1300.000, and will have
stands with room for 30,000 specta
tors.
St. Paul Gets Another O’Toole.
Pitcher Mike O’Toole has been sold
by Albany to the St Paul flub of tbe
American association. He Is a brother
of Marty O'Toole, who was purchased
by Pittsburg from tbe St. Paul club
'or $22,500.
PICKS LIST OF TWENTY
“GREATEST”
'Cy” Young, Dean of Pitchers.
A friend of Tim Mumane, a Boston
baseball critic, picks what is consid
ered by many old-time fans the strong
est list of the twenty greatest players.
His list, concerning which fans may
differ in one or two selections, fol
lows:
"Pitchers. 'Kid' Nichols, 'Cy' Young,
Mathewson. Walter Johnson and Ed
Walsh; catchers, Mike Kelly, Charles
Bennett and 'Buck' Ewing; first base,
Chase and Chance; second base. La
joie and Evers; third base. Collins;
shortstop. Long and Wagner; outfield,
Cobb. Clarke, McAleer, Schulte and
Delehanty.'
league. Like Joe McGinnity of the I
New York Giants at that time. Smith
was considered an iron man. He ■■
could pitch every other day if neces- j
sary. With all his faults Smitty had
many friends among White Sox fan
dom. who have a big place in their af
fections for the big fellow- who at one
time was one of their heroes.
Jap Runners in Olympic.
If the Japanese timekepers and ath
letic trainers may be believed, west
ern athletes will have to look to their,
laurels at the forthcoming Olympic
games, in which representatives of
Japan will participate for the first
time. According to dispatches re
ceived here, aspirants for the Olympic
trip were recently tried out at Tokyo
with surprising results.
One of the greatest surprises was
the lowering of the Olympic world's
record for the 25-mile Marathon race,
Shize Kanakuri of the Tokyo Higher
Normal school setting the mark at 2
hours 32 minutes. The record was
also broken by tw-o others—Sasaki, of
the Hokkaido Institute and Ide of the
Keio university, who finished second
and third.
May Run in Australia.
Australia promises to become the
Mecca for the profesional sprinters.
Late Cartmell and Fred Ransdeli. both
former University of Pennsylvania
stars, have just received invitations to
visit the land of the kangaroo and
race the stars of the earth there in
the biggest professional champion
ship races ever held. Cartmell is now
the world's champion by reason of his
victory over A. L. Postle, the English
runner, who previously held the title,
and Hansdell is the champion of the
intercollegiate A. A. A. A.
Attell “Gone Back.”
Abe Attel has either ‘gone back’’ a
long way. or lack of proper training
caused the poor showing with “Knock
out" Brown, writes Jim Corbett. I do
not believe Atteil faked. The betting,
in which he was always a hot favor
ite. proves that, in my opinion. There
was little Brown money in evidence.
"1 watched both boys closely during
the fight, and came to the conclusion
that Attell. realizing his miserable
condition, was fighting with the sole
idea of saving strength to last the ten
rounds.'
Baseball Players to Be Numbered.
Directors of the Pacific Coast
league have decided to number all
players. According to the plan
agreed upon, each player will wear on
his left sleeve a number assigned to
him. This number also will appear
on the score card. The season in
this league will open April 2 and close
Oct. 27.

Saginaw led the South Michigan
league in attendance last season, wttn

An answer to the query, "What is
the hardest position on the infield?"
is that every job is so blamed hard
there aren’t many players noted for
being perfect.
Billy Papke says he is considering
seriously the cold proposition of "com

The new fight law in San Francisco

YOUNGSTERS TO GET CHANCE
New Comers Will Dethrone Any of
Leaders of Last Season—Crop Is
Improving Right Along.
Young players who will make their
debuts in National and American
league company will have great
chances to make good. No big deals
have been made and there are none
in sight. Wirh the present lineups of
the big teams it looks as though there
would be no change in the finish of
the pennant races. If the leaders of
last season are dethroned, it looks as
though it will have to be done through
the help of the new comers.
It isn’t often that as many live ones
are produced as during the past sea
son. and for this very reason the 1912
campaign may fail to show any start
ling stars among the juniors. Just
look at the gang of healthy young
bandits that were hatched in 1911:
Alexander. Chalmers, Gregg. Jackson,
Esmond. Kirke. Benton. Humphries,
Olson. Krapp. Marsans, Almeida. |
Saier, Doyle. Cushion. Gainor, Drake, i
Bodie, O'Brien, Danforth, McCarthy i
and Severoid. Is there much chance |
that the new crop will average as i
well as these performers?
It would seem almost impossible to j
duplicate such an array of bright i
young athletes, but some of the scouts j
insist that the younger crop is im
proving right along. A few years ago i
the opposite was generally understood ;
—the country had been combed for 1
star players and they simply didn't |
happen. It was widely stated and
was probably the case that there were
not enough real bail players to man
two big leagues—that each league was '
almost to a club equipped with a few
stars to the team and a lot of dead j
ones or never-could-bes. The young- j
sters were mostly pitchers, ar.d the !
ambition to become a good infielder or
even a good batter seemed to have
died away.
Things have changed materially in
the past four years. Plenty or fine
batsmen are growing up and taking
their proper places in the fast com
pany. Good infielders, fast gardeners
and now and then a classy catcher
can be found among the rising ath- |
letes. and the new pitchers are of a
superior pattern.
O'Dsy Lauds Emsiie.
Veteran I'mpire Bob Emsiie, accord
ing to "Hank” O'Day, manager of the
Cincinnati Reds, will be just as good
a man behind the mask this year as
any major league arbiter. O'Day has
worked with Emsiie a great deal and
is much amused over the reports that
Emsiie's eyes are bad and be may be
pensioned by the National league.
"Say for me." said O'Day, "that when
a man can shoot bluerocks like Bob >
he can umpire any game of baseball
scheduled. I found him in Toronto re- t
cently wearing a diamond badge he
had woj in a shoot, as high gun. 1 j
saw him kill forty out of forty-five |
birds. This criticism of Emsiie is on
a par with a lot of stuff that l have
had to stand during my long career as
an umpire."
Hard Training Trip for Athletics.
Connie Mack plans the most strenu
ous training trip of his career for the

Athletics will condition themselves at

policy of McGraw of the Giants. He I

San Francisco Fight Permits.
Four monthly permits for 20-round
boxing contests have recently been is
sued to fight promoters by the Board
of Supervisors of San Francisco
Twenty-nine promoters have filed ap
plications for permission to stage the j
bouts.
Warner Is Some Football Coach.
Coach Glen Warner, of the Carlisle
(Pa.) Indian school, has had remark
able success in instructing the pupils
of the school in football. Taking a
group of aborigines and trying to
knock football sense into their cran
iums is not the easiest of jobs. War
ner always develops a team that gives
a good account of themselves on .he
gridiron.
Quea! to Coach Fordham.
Bill Queal. who has shown his run
ning ability over all distances from
the quarter mile to the 15 mile route
and is regarded as one of the greatest
distance runners in this country, has
been engaged to coach the Fordham
university track team of New York
city. Alfred Shrubb is coaching the
Harvard university cross-country
squad.
Look for Bonhsg to Break Record.
Arthur Duffey, ex-amateur cham
pion sprinter, thinks George Bonhag
will lower Alfred Shrubb's record of
9 minutes 9 3-5 seconds for two miles,
probably at the Olympic game try
outs.
INCREASE IN NUMBER
OF AMERICANS
GOING TO CANADA
Although Western Canada suffered,
as did many other portions of the
west, from untoward conditions, which
turned one of the most promising
crops ever seen in that country, into
but little more than an average yield
of all grains, there is left in the
farmers’ hands, a big margin of profit.
Of course there were many farmers
who were fortunate enough to harvest«
and market a big yield, and with the
prices that were secured made hand
some returns. Prom wheat, oats, bar
ley and flax marketed to the 1st of
January, 1912, there was a gross rev
enue of $75,384,000. The cattle, hogs,
poultry and dairy proceeds brought
this up to $101,620,000 or 21 million
dollars in excess of 1910. There was
still in the farmers’ hands at that
time about 95 million bushels of wheat
worth at least another sixty-five mil
lion dollars (allowing for inferior
grades), besides about 160 million
bushels of oats to say nothing of bar
ley and flax, which would run into sev
eral million of dollars.
There is a great inrush of settlers
to occupy the vacant lands through
out Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al
berta. The reports from the Govern
ment show that during the past year
upwards of 131,000 Americans crossed
the border into Canada. A great many
of these took up farms, over ten thou
sand having homesteaded, in fact the
records show that every state in the
I’nion contributed. A larger number,
not caring to go so far away as the
homesteading area, have purchased
lands at from fifteen dollars an acre
to twenty-five dollars an acre. The
prospects for a good crop for 1912
are as satisfactory as for many years.
The land has had sufficient moisture,
and with a reasonably early spring, it,
is safe to predict a record crop.

No True Friend.
There's a Hugh Ford and a Harry
Ford at the new theater. The simi
larity of initials sometimes makes
trouble. The other day a perfumed
note came for "H. Ford." and Hugh
Ford, opening it, found it was from
a woman. The next day Harry Ford
opened a letter addressed to "H.
Ford.” Then he passed over to Hugh
the bill marked “due and payable,”
which it contained.
"You're no true friend,” said Hugh
Ford. “You might have paid my bill
for me; 1 kept*your date.”—Xew York

Back in Good Old Bowl Days.
A man of apparent means brought j
two boys into a barber shop for a hair
cut. While waiting for the comple
tion of the job he said:
"1 never sat in a barber’s chair when
I was a kid. My brother used to go
over to the engine house and borrow
the horse clippers. Then my mother
would put a bowl on my head and cut
around it. Fntil I was 12 years old I
always looked like a window washer's ,
brush.”
Certainly Not.
Mrs. Styles—Don't you think this
new hat improves my looks, dear?
Mr. Styles—I suppose so.
“But what makes you look so
cross?"
“I'm thinking of the bill for that ;
hat. You can't expect that to improve
my looks.”—Yonkers Statesman.
