Judgments
i
NOW that Topeka finally haa
cinched ita franchise for another
season, let ua all ret In and
booat for the Kavrs. Of courae,
the only kind of boosting that
will really amount to much will have to
be done In Topeka, by the team and lta
patrons. The team, let ua hope, will be
one - that deserve boosting and the
patrons, let us assume, will reward It.
Topeka came as near losing Its place on
the circuit aa it could come and stick. It
needed no additional warning or lesson
along that line. Colorado Springs stood
ready. Indeed, eager, to cinch the fran
chise. Topeka la entirely able, tf It will
exert Itself, to maintain a good Western
league team. But the city cannot be ex
pected to do very much for the kind of
team it has been having. We know of
one or two other Western league cities,
even larger and better than Topeka,
which have been called on to endure more
than their share of poor ball playing at
home. So that 1915 must see some Im
provement In othr places along the cir
cuit besides Topeka or things are liable
to buat disastrously for one or two gents.
We wot not of the future. Time alone
must tell. Our hopes are strong alwaya
have been but hope deferred maketh the
heart alck. And they have been deferred
several times and for a considerable
period. As a great Irish orator said on a
memorable occasion, "Long enough have
we been cajoled, derided and deceived;
It is time for us to act." Batter up!
Funny, Isn't it, that with Salt Lake
included in the Paclfio Coast league,
those magnates cannot see their way
clear to extend the circuit once more to
an eight-club affair T So far as distances
and train schedules go, that oughtn't to
make any difference. Seattle and
Tacoma, or Spokane, could very handily
come in. And think of a city the stse
of Seattle running along with the bush
league . ball it is hooked up with. Salt
Lake, ' which took over Sacramento's
franchise, threatens all sort of pew
ginger for this league. The Mormons
have bought a new park and are all
worked up over their prospects. And (Tie
chances are, at least for the first season,
that they will add much strength to the
league.
The death of Mark Hall brought sur
prise and sorrow to Omaha fans, who al
ways thought' a lot of the rangy
pitcher. He put In two good seasons for
Omaha, then went to Detroit, where he
was more than making good when, be
fore the end of 1814, affliction laid Its
grip upon him and he went to the bench
never to return. Mark was In the very
"lloom of youth 29 years of age strong,
jctive and promising. His loss will be
frit by the Tigers, for the team bad
yarned to rely upon him. There was this
'bout Hall he never shirked; he alwaya
ive his team, minor or major, the best
had. And that is something that
'nnot.be said for every ball player.
(The way several of those Boston
faves are slipping Into Federal harness
Ight suggest doubt on their part of the
aves' ability to repeat in 1915. For
,'erld'a series money makes up for a lot
'tt regular pay, you know. But then, of
course, the season has not opened yek
and maybe the Feds won't have as many
Braves when they start as they have
sow. It's a gay life, this jockeying for
a atart, with one's weather eye out fof
the highest bid. .
Even if we do return to the one-umpire
ystaro In the Western league, we shall
not kick if aU umps are on a par with
Can Syckle. After all, it is quality, not
quantity, that counts most In umpires.
A doien on the field at once of one or
two brands w$ might name If we were
Impolite enough, would not be as good
as one of the Syckle variety.
' Old Billy Sullivan, veteran catcher for
the While Sox, who was finally handed
aa unconditional release, has decided to
ask Ran Johnson for a lob umpiring. We
should say. at a rough guess, that Bill
would make an A-l umpire, for he is
cool, heady and square.
Harry Caseldy and McCarty of Denver
are, reports say. still holding out Well,
it is quite a while yet till they Actually
have to come In. They'll be there like
good boys when the gong rings, don't
worry. Harry will, anyway, Harry with
the "silver threads among the brown."
Well, even If the Johnson-Wniard fiasco
should not fiasco at all, In Havana,
J us res. or anywhere else, the war might
survive and run right along as If nothing
had happened.
Jimmy Austin has heard the home call
and returned to the Browns' fold, passing
vp his Federal contract. But what's a
contract between ball players these days?
That's the stuff, Beatrice raises funds
for a team and grounds in two hours.
Here's to Beatrice and may It have a
good season ot it. too.
As the spring training season ap
proaches the warble of the Rourke hold
out becomee more and more faint.
If this Jitney bus stuff keeps up, maybe
Pa Rourke will be able to land the

BIG LEAGUERS PLAY GOLF
Ty Cobb, McGraw, Mathewson, Zim
merman, Bender All Like the
Scotch Game.
SOME MANAGERS IaBOO ' IT
Some managers In the major base ball
leagues forbid their players to engage In
golf, at least during the base ball .eason,'
saying that golf Interferes with the play
era batting, spoiling the swing or chop
they use at the plate.
Ty Cobb Is an enthusiastic golfer. He
spent most of his time Isst winter and
spring on the links at Augusta, Ga. After
the aeaaon starts ha rarely misses an op
portunity to engage In a golf match dur
ing the morning. For a time he quit it,
but resumed the pastime . again.
And with all his golfing, Cobb leads
the major league batters. All this golfing
may injure some players' batting and
again. It may not, but surely it does not
eem to have injured Cobb's average.
Christy Mathewson, the veteran twlrler
of the Otants, Is another base ball cele
brity who never mlesea a chance to play
golf. But probably the most enthus
iastic golf player among the basebalters
is. Adrian C. Anson, familiarly known as
"Pop." Tp him belongs the distinction
of being the first base ball star to com
pete' In the western amateur champion
ship. Thla the veteran did at Kent Coun
try club last summer, and he qualified
for one of the prises and lasted several
rounds.
Great Kim gome boiler.
Heinle Zimmerman, the best batsman of
the Chicago Cubs, may be found playing
golf whenever the opportunity affords.
He loves the game, and no doubt would
beoome a erack If he devoted much time
to It. When a lad he worked as a caddie
at a Long Island course and had plenty
of opportunity to acquire the "golfing
bug."
Zimmerman la a tremendous driver, and
once, when the Cuba were playing an
exhibition game In an Iowa city, was
invited to play a round of golf at a nearby
course. He did net confide to his host
that he (Zimmerman) ever had played
before, go the local golfer showed htm
how to make a tee shot V
"Heinle" said nothing, but on his first
shot with the wood sent the ban flying
straight down the course for nearly 0
yards. The Instructive lesson came to an
end right there. Several of the Cub
ball players are frequently seen playing
on the public courae, at Jackson park,
Chicago. Archer, the great catcher, Is
especially an enthusiastic convert to golf.
Not all base ball players believe that
golf unfits a player for effsctlve hatting
at the plate. In fact, most of them de
clare that Golf is extremely beneficial
In keeping the men In good condition.
Chief Bender, who was easily the beat
golfer in the American league, until he
became a Fed, Is another convert.
LARRY LEJEUNE CLAIMS
POKER RECORD OF WORLD
Larry Le Jeune la claiming other records
besides lils big willow mark In the West
ern lesgue last year. Recently In speak
ing "of world's records, Larry mads the
remark that he believed hs was In a fslr
wsy to lay claim to the long distance
card playing championship.
Several years ago, so Larry's story runs,
he sat for sixty-five hours without leav
ing the table In a game of cards poker
to be exact. He played every man In the
room down and there -were eight sitting
In at the start. ,
"I didn't leave the table la all that
time." say Lejeuns. "When I get tired
of sitting I Just got up and walked around
my chair and kept playing aU the time.
I sat playing solitaire aa hour after the
Isst man left the table. I claim that's
some nuvrathontng."

ANNUAL BOXING BATTLE ON
Bing Geune Receiving Regular Ham
mering in Various Legiilaturei
of the Land.
BUT GAME STILL CLINGS ON
NEW YORK, Feb. 17. Boxing Is having
Its annual battle for existence with the
legislatures of several states the battle
grounds, as usual. Racing runs a poor
second In these annual bouts, but both
are sure to ge hard knocked each year
when the legislatures meet. Regulation
of thrse sports by restrictive or permis
sive legislation are favorite pastimes of
law makers.
There is now at Albany one bill to
abolish the sport of boxing and the ath
letic commission created by the Frawley
law, and another to allow pubiio coxing
exhibitions to go twenty rounds and to
a decision. Instead of ten rounds and no
decision, as now. The first comes from
Chautauqua county, which has found that
going In for the uplift by the mental
route la profitable, while the other comes
from this city, where the politicians find
their constituents stronger for the phy
sical uplift, with boxing as ons ot Its
features.
Ever since boxing has been the sport
of civilised man there has been a 'certain
part of the population which has sought
to curb the sport through legislation. But
the settlement of differences through
fisticuffs aces ago, and Ita successor, the
gentler and scientific game of boxing, has
survived all attacks. Just as the game of
singlestick and fencing survived the abo-
Hu,ol ot 'nitration with the battle ax.
The proportion of the people who prac
tice boxing as a sport or for physical
benefit la sbout 1,000 to one, as against
fencing in America and Great Britain,
but considerably smaller in France and
Germany, where boxing has but recently
become popular. It reaches a very large
per cent In favor of boxing In all the
armies and navies of the world in their
processes ot training.
Is Healthy, A ma leer lort.
In gymnasium elubs, colleges, schools,
Young Men's Christian associations and
the athletlo department of churches,
boxing has a stronghold among the young
particularly. Even In thinly settled parts
of the country, the ownership of a "set
of pillows," as the eight-ounce glove is
affectionately referred to, is sure to bring
together the sturdy young farmsrs for
friendly bouts among themselves. No

legislation ever reaches these participants
or ever will while the love for physical
supremacy aurvlvss In man.
Horse raring fell under legislative ban
because of the excesses In gambling which
acoompanled and at times poisoned It.
Opposition has at times auMpended every
sport, to an extent at least. Professional
base ball received almost a knockout after
the Louisville club scandal, and It re
quired the blacklisting of those directly
Interested before the sport could survive.
Yet base ball is pre-eminently the sport
of every man and boy In America.
Hat Still lloslna tiro a.
It Is noteworthy, therefore. In thess
days when the boxing game Is undergoing
Its annual struggle for existence, that In
spite of opposition which has pursued It
for years, It persists and grows and is to
day more popular, than ever, with more
participants In It as an exercise and sport
than ever before. The sale ot boxing
gloves has Increased by more than 100
per cent within the last five years. Today
In the sodden, blood-drenched trenches of
Europe the relaxation of the worn soldiers
la In boxing and foot ball. The hold ot
the sport on Its followers Is something
marvelous; their interest in legislation
which In any way affect It Is Intense.
As, much aa any other subject It arouses
the cry of home rule and personal liberty,
and politicians who fool with the subject
know they tread on dangerous ground
when they approach It. The "silk stock
Ing" district as well as the "shirt sleeve'
district are both interested.
