Br rmK u. mf.kk,
NEW TOnK, March -Th chances of
Took!'" making good In the major
ar smaller today than they were In
other days thn the rtub look only a
half doncn joungetcrs -or a dosen at the
most to the southern training ctmpi.
It la the custom these daya for club
owners to grab off from ten to twenty
five btishera and turn them over to the
manager for tryout during th few
weeks that the training season lasts.
When a manager haa that many young
ster to look ocr. It la certain that he
cannot give much time to each. Usually
those he plrka are the flashiest looker
and he Ma go the others who do not
show up well right from the Jump. It la
the logical thing to do. of course, but
very often the flosny player fllvvera
later, and the one who Is turned back Is
the real star.
One of the greatest pitchers of all time
made a miserable showing during his
"rookie- days and during his flrat season
as a major. Had he been a youngster In
this era he probably would have been
dumped bark Into the bushes to rlae no
more. Hut he lived his youth In the day
when club) didn't carry a email army of
men. and an his manager had time to
give lil m a thorough tryout.
The Tale of "Big ."
The pitcher la Christy Mathewaon. If a
Joined the Olant In !: nr raided as a
wonder. Just the same way that 'a score
of bunders are heralded each year now.
Matty was given a tryout against Brook
lyn In Julyand he was batted out of
the box. He seemed to have nothing.
Twice after that he waa sent to th
mound each time he waa walloped.
Matty pitched three game In 1900
and ahowed nothing startling In any of
them. In the spring of lHul he was taken
south, but he showed nothing flashy.
There waa nothing spectacular about
him. He had been forced to fight It
out In these daya with a lot of Jbiilllant
looking youngster. It Is possible that ha
would have loat out and gone back to
the minora.
Rut the old time clubs weren's ever
burdened with minor league talent and
every man who Joined a big league club
waa given a chance to make good. In
the ncit season 19ft3 Matty won thirteen
games and lost eighteen, lor an aver
age of .119 giving him a grand average
f .405 for tnree seasons a miserable
showing.
What do you think would happen In
these daya to a major league pitcher
who, after three season In faat com
pany, averaged only ,tt6?
Tyrua Raymond Cobb never may hare
become a major league star It the present
day method concerning "rookies" had
been In force In l! when he Joined the
Tigers. The "Georgia Peach" arrived In
the Tlser camp labeled a "real wonder"
but the labeling wa no different than
that which la applied to at least a dosen
other bush leaguer. It was up to Cobb
to prove himself.
Xn VK Cobb worked In forty-ons games.
'Jll fielding wsa atrocious. H had com
billed as a slugger, yet In 150 trips to the
j.Ute In that season he hit safely only
thirty-six times. His average was .240.
What do you think would happen In this
lay and age If a youngster hit for only
.! In his first year a a major, and
fielded In a way that made It seem as If
be were burlesquing the art?
, But Cobb lingered, liughla Jennings
jrsic a lot of time and attention to htm.
And do you know whT Pimply because
Sl'ighla's roster wasn't losiled down with
a lot cf h!ch priced minor lengue talent In
those days. He had to pick hia team from
a email aaoortment and therefor he
could choose mors deliberately and ao
eurately. He had a chance to studyVobb
-and Cobb's possibilities.
Collin Started Slowly,
Eid'.e Cotllna hit for only .273 In 1J".
when be joined the Athletics and he
tfldn't acem to be able to play either
hort or third. Hut Connie kept him,
simply because Cnnl' roster wasn't
over loaded, thus giving him time to study
each man thoroughly.
Jake Dauhert, probably th greatest
first baseman In the game today, got a
chance with the Cleveland club some
J ears ago. There was a large flock of
rookie on the roster then and T-aois,
who was managing the outfit, didn't have
time to watch each. IDauhert rounded to
slowly too alowly for Lajola, And so
Jake went bark to th bushes, although
J.s thru waa a great a player a he
now Is,
Tris Speaker hit only ,f fop th Red
Pox in J! his first year in th major,
Vo'ild any major league club today keep
a .2J0 rookie outfielder? Hut th Red
Kox decided to keep Trm and what hag
happened?
Von remember the Rube" Marquard
cas, don't you?
It'a our opinion that If a manager eould
make his choice from a small section,
and give a lot of tlm to watching each
candidate, he would do better than h
does now when he haa to select from a
e-mail army of youngsters and make bis
decision without a chance to thoroughly
investigate each applicant for a regu
lar Job.

UP TO WILLARD AND MORAN
Fate of the Boxing: Game in New
York Depend! Entirely Upon
. Approaching- Battle.
GOVERNOR LOOKS INTO AFFAIR
bt iuiinrc.
NEW TORK. March 4.-The Jess Wlll-
srd-Frsnk Moran fjht. arheduled for
Madison Square garden on March 2.1. will
make or break the boxing game In this
tale. An Indifferent exhibition by the
champion will put the sport here Into
disrepute for so Inn that there will be
a general exodu of mitt wlelder. and
once tlio metropolis la stripped of lta
boxing talent It will take year to cajole
them Into returning.
W have It on excellent authority that
Governor Whitman himself will make
drsstla changes In th boxing law. If not
revoke It altogether, should th bout
prove unsatisfactory, Th legislature
will be In session until May 1, and th
lawmakers, at the governor's behest, will
be ready to Jam through a measure kill
ing boxing In New Tork (so w are In
formed) If lb battle U not on th up-
and-up.
So it la up to Wlllard and Moan to
preserve the ancient diversion of mitt
llnglng to New Torkers.
At th present moment Interest In th
match la not so great aa .was anticipated.
Th cloud of uncertainty still hover over
th Impending atruggle, and not until
ther Is ressonahle certAlnty of th
match taking place will great Interest
b manifested. And th fight-loving pop
ular of this tight little Isle I not to b
censured for lta apparent lack of Interest.
Wlllard physical condition Is not an
open book. He forced two change from
th original data; so what la to prevent
another?
Hot Cold Feet.
The claim of aom so-called experts
that Wlllar.l's cold la In his feet, not In
his head, la ridiculous. Surely, Big Jess,
with all th natural advantages h en
joys In height, weight, reach and vigor,
does hot fesr a man who was defeated
by hi victim. Jack Johnson. Moran
really has shown no exceptional ability
In th ring, even If h la th most formi
dable of the Wlllard challengers-at
present.
A slils from his two knockout defeats
of Jim roffeyMorsn's record Is not brll
llant. True, he knocked out Al Palter
and Bombardier Wells, but Palser waa
unfit to enter the ring that evening, and
Wells was previously stopped twlr by
Georges Csrpcntler, who falls short of
Moran's weight by twenly-flv pound.
Yet Moran Is th lotftral first opponent
for Wlllard. these facts notwithstanding.
Dlra of I.earh Cross.
Hark, from the tomb (pugilistic, of
course) a mournful sound. It Is tha dirge
for Leachle Cross, gameat of New Tork's
veteran lightweights; for lachl Is
through with the ring game.
It took Mllburn Saytor. a mediocre bat
tier, to put th terminus to Leach's hon
orable boxing career of ten years' dura
tion. Hay I or accomplished 008" down
fall In five rounds th other day. It waa
not the first knockout for Leach, but It
was th first defeat by th knockout
rout be suffered sine 1908, when he was
stopped by, Dick Hylsnd In forty-on
round.
Previous to that. In W. hia first year
In th game. Cross waa knocked out by
Jack Doyle in two rounds and by Frank I
Madde In on. Leach evened up th
Madden; cor two, years later., knocking
out the Bowery champion In flv rounds.
In hi tlm Cross fought th best light
weights In th game. Including Champion
Wtlsh, Willi lUtchl (when th Caltfor
nlan waa champion). Joe fthugrua, Jo
P.lvera, Jo Mandot. Battling Nelaon
(shortly after th Dan waa dethroned
by Wolgast), Ad Wolgast (whom h
stopped In flv rounds), latt Wells,
Tommy Murphy, packey McFariand, Jem
Drlacoll and scores of others. Nona of
th above mentioned even floored I-each,
whit h outfought a number of them.
It la natural to presume that Iach
will announce a "com back" shortly, but
It wilt be only for on purpose -to enhance
th family bank rolL Croea haa won a
fortun In th ring (boxing) and lost a
tidy sum in another ring (Wall atreet).
The Ghetto veteran haa aaved his earn
ings of th last few years, and ran live
on hU Income. Only three years ago he
bought a row of apartment, paying down
t0.D In cash. Then, again, ha haa
worked up a big dental practice.
Adieu. Learh Croaa; you hav aerved
your follower well, and never hav you
shown a ting of "yellow" or refused to
fight gamely at all time.

CHICAGO, Msrrh 4. fnder command
of Joe Tinker, onre a private In their
rank, the rejuvenated Cub depart from
Chicago tomorrow foe the apring train
ing ramp at Tampa. Th par'y will In
clude less than half the number of ball
players on the mater, a the rest will go
from their homes dlreet to the ramp, but
on the. da luxe train which bears the
Cubs south will be President Weeghman
end other stockholder of th new club
and a number of guest.
Tinker's task this year will not be that
of trying out recruit from minor league,
but of watching veteran go through their
pacea. From the combined Cuba and
Whale a sqtisd numbering about thirty
were ordered to report at the Florida
training grounds, and pearly every on
haa had aome major league experience.
Th National league's rule Imposing a
limit of twenty-on players will be ap
plied In part to the Cuba. It Is now tin
destood, though the national commission
had practically agreed to let them and
the Hrowns carry fifty each. The latest
ruling oblige Tinker to name twenty
one men eligible to tske part In cham
pionship games, but permits him to carry
extra players Instead of forcing their re
lease to minor leagues nd Incidentally
forces the club to pay the salaries of
those under contract, whether or not
they are declared eligible.
Tinker will have a hlg corps of pitch
ers from which to choose a staff. Home
time ago he figured on having a doxen
t wirier In camp with th prospect of
cutting off nearly half of them, aa his
Idea of a practical staff Is one Including
no mors than se-en men. His alab squad
at Tampa, he expects, will Include Brown,
Bailey, Packard. Trrndergast. Hendrix.

Douglas, Keatnn, Pierce, Wright and

to be th club' main reliance; Fischer,!

and demons, extra backstop on th North
Bide for th last two seasons.
Two Feds la lefteld.
I'nless accident Interferes, It la reason
ably sur the Cubs Infield will consist
of Baler, flrat baae: Terkea. formerlv
with the Boston Americans snd last year
with th Pittsburgh Federals, at second;
Mike Doolan, who gained ram with th
Philadelphia Nationals, at short, and
Heinle Zimmerman, third. Besides thee
four, Tinker has five lnfieldrs. Includ
ing himself, Zclder, Pechous, Mulligan
and McCarthy. Until th training season
la well under way he does not know
whom he will keep of the extra men.
Aside from Allison, who. It Is expected,
will be taken by Memphis, th outfield
consists of flv men. ranging In exper
ience from fichu He, the veteran, to Flack
and Williams, whose major careers have
been confined to two seaaon. Th others
are Zwllllng. well known as a slugger,
and Mann, with the Boston National
when they won th world's champion
ship. It Is probable that flv will be re
tained, and It Is considered a toas-up
among critics ss to who will compose
th regular outfield.
Th Ouba have prectlc games arranged
with th Cleveland Americans, th Phil
adelphia Nationals, th Mllwatlk Asso
ciation team and several Southern league
clubs, before winding up th training sea
son with a series at Loulsvill. They open
th championship campaign at Cincin

For six years hs basked in th moon-
ight of retirement,
Then, lo and behold, another wrestler
sppeared before th calcium., A young
wresticr, who cleaned up everything 'n
sight and earned for himself th en
viable honor of "honest wrestler."
The retired champion began to squirm
under the quiet rays of th moonlight
of retirement. He saw ths young wrest
ler making Inroads into the other half
of all the coin in the world.
This will never do." declared th re
tired champ to himself. So he Informed
the public he would return to th game.
Ha would wrestle again. In the mean
time he algned up to appear with a
circus at ;.ci.7G a week and a half
Interest In the big top.
The public began to clamor for a
match between the retired champ and
th new champ. It kept up Its clamor
It clamoed so long it believed th
maicit was as goou a arranged. It
began to dope out the probable victor.
It even began ' saving up to buy ring
side seats.
But suddenly Oh, well, what's the use.
It's the same old story of
When you re' out "to do th public do
it good, , ' ...
It's collective dom Is mad of solid
wood. -It

All its monv vou can take.

'I notice the new boarder sneaking
oranges whenever the old lady turn
her head," qoth th star boarder to the
one at the end of the table.
'Yes," I guess ha must be a poor
chap,-' answered th on at th end of
th table.
'Your dope's all wrong, he's an ama
teur golfer, retored th star boarder.

He callod upon Mis Mary avery Tues.

And erased into Miss Mary's eyes and

But February twenty-nine, the day to

Was marked upon the calendar and Mary

"For five full yeara you've called on me
and never made a peop.
Your motto seems ia 'take a look and
then don't tak the leap,'
But, kid, you're on the wrong railroad,
snd on the wrong track, too.
My molto is the other way, not don't dj

So you and I are rolng to wed, you

And don't you try to break away or I'll

so now go get that ring.
And practice up on Mendelssohn, for her
