I Ral.lmora. April 8 — Balilmora lal. Fhlladclpbia Auuia, ram. New Tork, April t.—Whence come the baseball players? What locality breeds them; what blood-strain predominates In them? They route from all over the United States, from hamlets, and town, and big city. They are of every nation ality, If one may judge from their names. The writer has before him the list of players of the Cincinnati ball club. Illinois, North Carolina, Cuba, Texas, Kentucky, Virginia. Indiana, New York, Georgia, California, Pennsyl vania, Rhode Island and Ohio are the states represented. Judge for yourself of the nationali ties from such names as Donohue, Luque, Priesmuth, Rlxey, Wingo, Sandberg, Cohan, Caveney, Daubert, Pinelll, Fonseca, Hock, Roush, Dun can, Harper. You have here the Irish, the Eng lish, the Scotch, the Spaniard, the Hebrew, the German, the Swedish, among others, but all American born. That is why baseball is well called the national game. One man on the Cincinnati club, Harper, an outfielder, was born in Ohio. That is the curious thing about baseball. Few players get to play In the city or state of their birth. Baseball players must go from home when they are very young to gain experience, to develop their tal ent in small leagues. Big league magnates buying ball players do not consider place of birth, nationality or creed. They seek only ability. "Pa" Strlbllng, the unique parent who manages the pugilistic affairs of his offspring, young Stribling, wishes the writer to mention tha sportsman ship of Taddy Mullins, manager of Mike McTigue. The wish is conveyed through Johnny Cox, who assisted "Pa” Strib ling in handling his son the night young Stribling fought McTigue in New Jersey. It appears that Mullind was the first man to greet young Stribling in his dressing room after the fight and to congratulate him. This incident apparently surprised "Pa" Stribling. Mullins, perhaps, did not think it an unusual procedure. Mullins has had many fighters, winners and losers. He Is an “old timer." The "old timer” knows that he may have a winner one day, a loser tha next day. Much experience with winners and losers teaches a calm philosophy, a code of politeness that includes the Immediate congratulation of a win ner. George A. Wood is dead. The name perhaps means little to the present generation. Fame Is fleeting in sport as In everything else. Many years ago George A. Wood was star outfielder of the Philadel phia National league club. He played from 1886 to 1890. H# was a member of the all-American team that toured the world in 1889 with the Chicago club. He was In his day *s well known as the average baseball player of the present. How many of them will be lecalled 33 years after they quit playing?

Windsor Cagers Defeat Yankton for National Title New Champions, Survivors of Field of 40, Walk Away With Title Game—Show Good Teamwork. HICAGO. April 5. — Wind sor, Colo., a Rocky mountain town of 1,290 Inhabit ants, was the reigning prin cipality of the basket ball world Saturday, as - the Van Matre brothers. Law, McGlynn and McCurdy prepared to start back west with the gold basket ball emblematic of the national interseholastlc championship. The hew national champions, sur vivors of a field of 40, walked away with the title game, drubbing Tank ton (S. n.), tS to 6, in the closing match of the tourney. Windsor had fought Its way to the finals with victories over War renaburg. Mu.; Sioux City, la.; Pangiiitrh, Itah, and Manchester, N. H. The runners-up who seemed com pletely baffled by the well-oiled team play of the Windsor wizards, had ad vanced to the final round over the prostrate forms of Chattanooga, Oak Cliff of Dallas. Emporia, Kan., and Detroit Northeastern. Windsor was a factor In last year's meet, winning Its first three games, but they somehow were not taken Into consideration early In the present tourney. They won with such little difficulty that the experts overlooked them. Law, the rangy center, and F. Van Matre, the running guard, were stars of the walkaway victory tonight, but the defensive work of McCurdy was not to be overlooked. The South Dakotans could not get started against the tight defense of the mountaineer*. They scored a pair In the opening period, but were held scoreless in the next two. They added their final score In the last frame. They were never in the run nlng. I^tltsch looped the first basket of the game and the* Dakotans' only score until the final period. Law. center for Windsor, followed It with three In a row. The Coloradoans were off. Thereafter Yankton hardly saw the ball. Tech Tracksters Show Well in Ring Two Technical High track aspir ant* who are working out nightly *t the Maroon Institution, have made names for themselves In the fistic world. Frank Teaar, husky weight man and distance runner, and Fred Pewit flsahy little dash man, be sides expert exponents of the spiked shoe, find time to devote to leather slinging. Frank kayoed "Blue" Howell, Cen tral High footballer. In the finals of the O. A. C. amateur novice leather tossing meet held several weeks sgo. while the scrappy little Penn boxed hla way to the flyweight champion ship In the aarry meet. Both youngsters are showing up good In practice on the Technical campus, and will probably land places on ths Maroon track squad. Frank la an all round athlete. He plays football, baseball and basket ball, besides hla efforts on the track field and In ths ring. Fred Penn, competing in the parochial grade school meet of last year, garnered 900 of a possible 1.000 points, thereby bringing the cham pionship to Holy Family school. This remarkable feat waa accomp'lshed by competing In every event, and win ning nine of them, WARNIE SMITH TO BE KEPT BUSY Chicago, April 6.—Warnte Smith, the cowboy welterweight of Oklahoma City, today clused three matches.

"Wild Bull" of the Argentine, tonight scored another quick victory In the ring when h# knocked out A1 Ketch, the American fighter, in the first round. The crowd was In an uproar when Flrpo surged forward and felled hls opponent with smashes to the Jaw. There was more enthusiasm among the spectators than there was among an American fight crowd. Relrh never struck a Mow daring the short fight. He tried to clinch as soon as Flrpo shot In hls first Mow, hut the “Wild Ball" was out to drop hls man as quickly as pos •ibis and regain the prestige he Inst in hie last two fights with Spalls and Lodge, and never gave his man a chance. Firpo entered the ring at 11 o clock and Reich followed three minute* later. Firpo weighed about 21* pound* and Reich at about five pounds lighter. The knockout>came after one minute and 45 aC'-orid* of the first sound.

Des Moines, la., April 6.—In every pity in the state, in every village and hamlet that boasts a golf course, golf enthusiasts with bags slung around the shoulder, are already blazing a trail from city limits to the golf course just beyond. The first days of real spring weather has brought the golfer out of his hiding place, out of the cellar or improvised green room" of hie home where, throughout the long winter months, he has been prac ticing on gTeen shots and improving hie "form.” Iowa cities have not lagged heblnd others of the country in making glof a game for the masses. In some places of the state, in fact, it appears as if golf is elowlv but surely en croaching upon the nation's most pop ular sport—baseball—and attempting to oust it from its place of honor. Everywhere in the state plans are going forward for the building of a golf courae or for enlarging or im proving the old. Nearly all of the larger cities now have one or more municipal courses and according to last year's reports these have nearly all, been Inadequate to tbe demands placed upon them. The Credit Island golf course at Davenport has been chief among those unable to take care of the vast numbers of golfers who daily wait near the first tee for their chance to "drive off.” The same holds true in Des Moines, Sioux City and the public course in Cedar i’.apid*. Country clubs and golf courses are today located in practically every Iowa city and tow’n. While public courses are destined to become as at tractive to the golfer who is looking for a "sporty course." as are the pri-1 vately owned courses today, the low er income of the public courses xs111 j continue to necessitate a crowded condition in order to provide enough income to make the course self-sus taining, and to Insure Improvements from time to time. Private club* can well restrict their memberships since in most cases the dues are high enough to take care of maintenance. Some of the larger municipal courae* of the itate are under the supervision of experienced "pros” who train the untutored in the ways of the fascinating game.
