PRAISE SOX PITCHERS Comiskey Says Twirlers Are Showing Better Form. Big Ed Walsh Is Sure of Good Season, While icott and White Have Old Cunning—Joe Benz Is pke a New Man. Prediction that the Chicago Amer ican league baseball team will have a strong pitching staff this year is made by President Comiskey. He be lieves the twirlers now being sea soned are showing better form than in previous years, all of which is at tributed to the spring work at Paso Robles. "Th°re is no need to tell the fans how good Ed Walsh is going to be be cause they realize that he has no equal in baseball," was the wny Mr. Comiskey started out in speaking of the White Sox staff. "Ed is in per fect physical condition and his man ner of caring for himself during the idle winter months always assures a good season for the big fellow. He is good for ten years to come. Nobody knows how much I think of him and how proud I am of such men as his type. I would not be surprised to see him make his best record the coming season. ‘‘Another thing which is encourag ing to me is the way Jim Scott ha3 been going on the coast. I want to go on record as saying that Jimmie Is hack to his best form and he will be a great support to the team. I expect him to have his best year barring a return of his ailment, of which he now seems to be entirely free. “Doc White is making a better showing than he did last year at this time. He has all his old-time cunning and speed. He will be a great help “Big Ed” Walsh. to the club and will be ready to take his turn as soon as the season opens. Benz is going great guns. He looks like a new man. I was surprised to see the way he worked. Cal tells me he expects wonderful things of him. Lange and Cicotte never were early season pitchers, but they are just be ginning to show their real value. “Manager Callahan believes he has a great find in Clarence Smith, the youngster from Birmingham. The young fellow will be given a thorough trial and it looks now as if he might be one of the regulars. Phil Douglas, one of the tallest twirlers in the game, standing 6 feet 4 inches, also looks good to me. Mogridge has im proved greatly and Cal will in all probability carry him the full season. His work on the coast insures him a place in major league baseball. Double Squeeze Play. The double squeeze .play is Connie Mack's latest. Playing against San Antonio, Collins was on third and strunk on second. Barry laid down a bunt. Collins scored, easily, while Barry was being thrown out, and Strunk, having taken a tremendous flying lead, came home all the way from second after Collins, so great was his burst of speed. Ernie Johnson Wins Game. Ernie Johnson, the Sox discard, played his first game with Los An geles and won a place in the hearts of the coast fans by driving in the winning run for the Angels in the eleventh inning, beating the Sox out. The final score was 3 to 2. Ernie sent the winning count over the plate by means of a sacrifice fly when the An gels had runners on third and first, with none out. Penn Hopes to Win Championships. The University of Pennsylvania is hopeful of winning this year’s annual intercollegiate track and field cham pionships, which would put them on even terms with Cornell for perma nent possession of the $1,000 trophy. The record now stands four wins for Cornell, three for Pennsylvania and ’one for Harvard. It must be won five times. Eyes on Pipp. The major league scouts have, thus early, their eyes upon one college player in Pipp, the first baseman of the University of Virginia nine. They say he is the best first baseman play ing baseball since Fred Tenney's days at Brown. Jennings Places Tigers. The Tigers ran sixth last year, but Manager Jennings is confident that they will do at least two point better thin season. He considers that fourth place will be about the limit for his club, but is sure that he will get that far. CAREER OF MANAGER MILLER J. HUGGINS Miller Huggins, Leader of St Louis Cardinals. Miller James Huggins, manager of the St. Louis Cardinals and one of the greatest second basemen in base ball. was born in Cincinanti, Ohio, March 27, 1880. He started his pro fessional career in 1901 with the St. Paul team of the American associa tion and played with the Saints for three seasons. In 1904 he returned to bis native city as a big leaguer and a member of his home team, the Cin cinnati Reds. For six years, or until he was traded to St. Louis in 1910, Huggins was the star of the Reds' in field. He went to St. Louis in 1910, and for the last three years has done the same brilliant work for the Cardi nals that made him famous in Red land. Last winter he was appointed manager of the team to succeed Roger Bresnahan. Although it will be his first season as a manager, St. Louis fans are confident he will pro duce a winner. When his baseball days are over Huggins will practico law. . » TO ACT FOR MUTUAL BENEFIT President David Fultz Announces Pending Amalgamation of Ball Players and “White Rats." President David L. Fultz, of the Baseball Players' Fraternity, an nounces that negotiations are now un der way between the fraternity and the White Rats Actors’ union of America for an amalgamation be tween the two organizations for the purposes of “mutual support and pro tection.” and Fultz expects the ar rangement will be consummated with in a few weeks, he says. Wagner, of the Pittsburgh team, is announced as one of the latest ad ditions to the ranks of the fraternity. The Cardinals now have a Wingo and a Winger. Eddie Grant of the Reds is play ing the third corner in his very best form. According to the lineup given out by Manager Chance, the Yankees’ shortstop position cannot be lifted without a derrick. Pitcher Jean Dubuc of the Tigers says: "Rondeau is one of the greatest catchers to break into the league this year.” Peaches Graham has, after due de liberation, decided to sign a contract with Toronto again. They say McGraw bought Tesreau without even seeing him pitch a game and purely because ha liked bis size. Derrill Pratt, the young Brownie, in the opinion of many baseball experts, is the best second sacker in Ben John son's organization. Pitcher Davenport of the San Anto nio team is being heralded as the tall est man in baseball. He stands six feet seven and one-half inches. Manager Clark Griffith believes that ”Tol" Pendleton, the Princeton uni versity phenom, wit! beep his word and sign with the donators. ’ Dutch" Munch, whom Manager Griffith sent to the ■Syracuse club of the New York State league, says that he will come back next season. The Boston critU s admit that the Red Sox will have r. hard time to re peat in the America-n league this sea son. Lew McAllister, Gabby Street and Charley Schmidt, three old-time big league backstops, will work in the southern league this season. Manager Callahan says he i3 fairly well satisfied with the White Sox youngsters, but wouldn't refuse any reasonable trade. Manager George Stovall l.as a world of confidence in his -ecruit catcher, Sam Aguew. Stovall believes he’ll make good. Steve Kane, former umpire in the American association, has signed to call balls and strikes in the Interstate league this season. George Dauss, the youngster se cured by the Detroit Tigers from St. Paul, is one of the most promising young twirlers on Jennings' staff of 13. Bobby Vaughan, the old Princeton varsity captain, will play with St. Paul the coming season. They say that Denny Moeller, the young outfielder on Griffith's squad, will give "Champ” Milan a good fight for the baserunning honors. The Brooklyn club has released Daniel J. McDevitt to the Oshkosh club of the Wisconsin-Illinois league. McDevitt was secured by Brooklyn from Eastern college, Manassas^ Va. HOW FORREST CADY WON JOB Almost Unheard of in Boston Until Boosted by Leslie Nunamaker, Second Backstop. Forrest Cady, the twenty-four-year old giant, butted into the limelight when Leslie Nunamaker, second catcher of the Red Sox, was Injured in the throwing hand early last sea son, and has been right there or there abouts ever since. Cady was almost unheard of in Boston, and even his team-mates did not know much about his ability. He and Nunamaker had been room-mates and "pals.” As Cady, who, despite his size, is very soft-spoken and evasive of the spotlight, went out to warm up, Nuna maker, sitting with bandaged hands t Forrest Cady. on the side-lines, shouted this encour agement to the recruit, so that every body heard it: “Keep up the reputation of the [ room. Cady!" “Well, if they give me a chance in they'll never miss YOU,” replied Cady, a bit peeved at the attention at tracted to him, but still speaking as qiietly as a bank clerk. Nunamaker sat on the bench the remainder of the season, appearing in less than a half dozen games, and 13 now third catcher. Cady caught the most of the world’s series and re j ceived a big salary increase. Which is Fate, also Opportunity. A similar I tern may boost Nunamaker again. It’s ! the luck of the game. - Wagner in Fine Form. Hans Wagner, the Pittsburgh star, ! reports in good condition this year, as he always does. Hans is a player who j takes good care of himself during the | winter months and does not require a i great deal of conditioning in the spring. The idol of the Pirates says I he expects to have one of the best | years of his long career as a diamond artist in 1913. i Dissatisfied Player Released. Pitcher William Billiard, bought by Spokane from Toledo, having re fused to play in the Northwest, has been released by the Spokane club, I President Cohn saying he wanted nothing to do with a dissatisfied j player. LIKE D. S JUPlim Australia’s Seat of Government Planned rii Fields and Woods. Plans Drawn by American Architect Are Accepted and Site Chosen is in Canberra, N. S. W—Will Be City Beautifutv. Canberra, N. S. W.—Americans will take a keen Interest in the construc tion of the federal capital city of the pommowealth of Australia, because, like the federal capital city of the United States, It was completely plan ned before the foundation stone of the Hrst permanent building was laid, and also because the architect whose de signs have been accepted, Walter Bur ley Griffin, is an American, says the Boston Transcript. The choice of the Canberra district of New South Wales, as the site of the city, was made by the commonwealth govern ment in 1910, and the invitation to architects embodying the conditions of completion was issued April 30, 1911. To give an idea of the magnitude of the task, it may be stated that the requirements for the consideration of the designers included the allocation pf appropriate areas embracing sites not only for the house of parliament, residence of the governor general and the usual ministerial and administra tive offices, but places of public wor ship, mint, national art gallery and Uhrary, state house, printing office, government factories, university, tech nical college, city hall, general post office, museum, central railway sta tion, railway marshaling yards, mili tary barracks, criminal and police courts, jail, hospital, national thea ter, central power station, gas works, markets, stadium, parks and gardens, ate. It was a great work to design this model city, and Mr. Griffin may well be congratulated on hlB success In winning the opportunity to give Wash ington, D. C., a worthy sister in Can berra, N. S. W. Why the Australian government ihould have decided to build the cap ital of the country in the southeast corner is not quite clear, but the site .9 certainly one that seems to invite i "city beautiful.” The lay of the and, combining easy gradients with prominent hills of moderate height, will lend itself easily to the produc lion of fine architectural and land scape effects. Canberra is just east pf the Wagga Wagga district, and ibout 40 miles from the town of Yass, jn the main line of the railroad be iween Sydney and Melbourne, and It is about 150 miles from Jervis bay, with which it Is to be connected by i new railroad. The temporary Aus irlan Military school Is the only puilding yet on the site, excepting a lew farmhouses, but now that the governor general has laid the founda lion stone the architectural develop ment of the commonwealth’s perma Falls Near Site of Canberra. lent seat of government may be ex 3ected to progress rapidly. To a cer tain extent Australia imitates Canada n selecting a capital. Canada did no; lave to build Ottawa, from the ground ip, but it converted the old ‘‘Bytown.” i lumber station and shipping point nto a seat of government. Queen Victoria made choice of Ottawa in he capacity of grand arbitrator, after Montreal, Quebec, Toronto and Kings >ton |^ad quarreled for the distinction if being the capital until any three if them were ready to unite against he fourth. Ottawa is now a beauti ul city of 100,000 inhabitants, despite he fact that it remains simply the lolitical capital. So does Washing .on, for that matter, a still more beau iful city, with a population approxi natitig 350,000. It seems to be the •ule for ^armony in nations essentially ‘ederationi that compromise between lections shall dictate the choice of a lew site for their capitals. PRINCE YOUNGEST CLUBMAN <ing George's Eldest Son Joins the Marlborough Club of London. London.—The election of the prince if Wales to the Marlborough club, A’liich took place recently, makes the leir to the throne the youngest club nan in London. Since its formation he Marlborough has always been the special club of the heirs apparent as be late king, who had much to do with its formation, was an almost laily frequenter there as prince of A ales, and it was also constantly ised by his present majesty before lis accession. Soldiers and sailors generally are mxious for the prince of Wales to en er the Rag, otherwise the Army and \Tavy club. It is understood that this itep will be taken before long. His •oyal highness will also become a nember of the Oxford and Cambridge dub. REALLY A SOUND INVESTMENT Sanatorium Where the Tuberculoale May Be Cured Is Worth Much to Any State or City. Dr. H. L. Barnes, superintendent of the Rhode Island State sanatorium, has recently demonstrated by some in teresting studies of patients discharg ed as “apparently cured" from that in stitution, that a sanatorium is a sound investment for any state or city. The gross earnings of 170 ex-patients ob tained in 1911 amounted to 5102,752, and those of 211 cases in 1912 to $112, 021. By applying the same average earning to all ex-patients of the sana torium living in 1911 and 1912, Dr. Barnes concludes that their income in these two years was $551,000. This sum is more than three times the co3t of maintenance of the sanatorium in cluding interest at 4 per cent, on the original investment and depreciation charges. Dr. Barnes concludes, how ever, “While institutions for the cure of tuberculosis are good investments, there is good reason for thinking that institutions for the isolation of far ad vanced cases would be still better in vestments.” JUDGE CURED.

Lord Knollys, who is retiring, after having been private secretary to King George and the late King Edward, has received many tempting oflers to write his autobiography, but. needless to say, has steadfastly resisted them all. An enterprising publisher, from the United States, once ran him down during his vacation, and placed a blank check before him, inviting him to fill it in for any sum he liked to name in return for a book of no fewer than 50,000 words. “My terms would be five million dollars,” Lord K»ollys remarked, quietly. The publisher gasped. "Good gracious, sir, are you serious?” he asked. “Quite,” Lord Knollys rejoined, and then, with one of his merry twinkles of his eyes, he said: “Would it not be worth a good deal more to you if I had to say frankly all I know?” The publisher realized the force of the argument, and was bound to ad mit that it would be a hopeless task to induce an indiscretion on the part of the veteran courtier.
