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,

Louis Firpo Knocks Out A1 Reich
After One Minute of First Round
Buenos Aire*. April S—T.ule Flrpo.
"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.
It ia believed that Firpo'e quick
finish of Reich will cause him to re
consider hla determination to quit the
fighting game, and hi* friend* are
urging that he again tackle Jack
Dempsey for the heavyweight title.

ball team took "picks"
on Schermanske. Oma
ha Western 1 e s g u e
pitcher. In the first In
ning of the Omaha
Muskogee game here
Saturday afternoon and
scored four runs, but in the ioilowing
innings the Buffaloes from the plains
of Nebraska chased the local athletes
all over the park, finally staging a
rally in the eighth inning that netted
them seven runs. This, coupled with
the one scored in the second and
sixth, enabled the Buffs to win, 9 to 4.
"Chief" Robinson, Omaha outfielder
and former Muskogee player, was the
whole show until the fatal eighth. In
the second he drew a base on balls
and scored un two errors. In the
sixth he opened the Inning with a
triple and scored on Bonowitz’s
double. He was the first up in the
eighth and started the rally by slam
ming out a homerun. After the
"Chief’s" homer. Art Griggs, Bono
witz and 'Wilcox got doubles in succes
sion off Adkins. Wilder then cracked
out a homer and Kouptl added to the
roily with a double, while Thompson
singled. Adkins made his exit after
allowing seven straight hits without
putting one man out.
The fielding of "Frisco’ Thompson,
Omaha second baseman, was the fea
ture of the game, while "Red" Wild
er’s accurate pegging to the Infield
was good.

Iowa Muny Golf
Courses Crowded
Plant Going Forward for
Building of New or Enlarg
ing Old Course?.
By Associated Press.
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.
