SPIT BALL DEAD;
TENER ADVISES
IT BE DROPPED
New York, Feb. 22,-The end of
the spit ball is coming. John K.
Tener, president of the National
league, today issued a warning to
young pitchers, advising them not
to cultivate the use of the spit ball
and indicating that it was only a mat
ter of a short time when it would be
abolished.
"Young pitchers starting to play
professionally will find it to their ad
vantage not to cultivate the use of
the spit ball," said Mr. Tener. "It
also will be advantageous to Na
tional league players using this form
of delivery to experiment as much
as possible with some other 'style of
pitching during the coming season.
The spit ball is a disgusting, unsani
tary delivery, not likely to endure
more than a tew more seasons at the
most. All the members of the Na
tional league rules committee, Drey
fuss, Heydler and myself are strong
ly opposed to it and favor its abol
ishment."
Mr. Tener said a majority of Na
tional league players still were un
signed, but asserted that the club
owners would remain firm in their
present position, as base ball condi
tions did not warrant the payment of
laigci salaries lo piaycrs. .

TERRY M'GOVERN,
FORMER CHAMP OF
PRIZE JWIG, DIES
Featherweight Champion of
'90s Succumbs to Pneu
monia After Two Days'
lllnass.
New York, Feb. 22. Terry Mc
Govern, former world's featherweight
champion, died at the Kings county
hospital at 9:25 this morning. He
had been ill only two days.
Pneumonia and kidney trouble,
complicated with other ailments,
brought on the boxer's end within
48 hours from the time he was re
moved in an ambulance from his
Brooklyn home to the hospital. His
wife was with him when he died.
They haVe one son, Joseph, aged 19.
McGovern was reputed to have
earned several hundred thousand dol
lars during his fighting career. After
Ins retirement from the ring he con
ducted saloons at various times and
was frequently in institutions because
of ill-health. He was a free spender
and his fortune had so diminished a
few years ago that Samuel Harris,
who was his manager at the height
of his boxing success, raised a fund
on McGovern's behalf. From this
money Mrs. McGovern has received
an income of ?25 a week.
Raised in Brooklyn.
T m r
josepn lerrence wcuovern was
born at Johnstown, Pa., March 9,
1880. His parents moved to Brook
lyn a year later and "Terry," as he
was kno.'n to followers of pugilism,
was brought up in the Gowanus dis
trict of Brooklyn, where he resided
until his death. ' ;
When he was only 15 years old
McGovern took part in preliminary
bouts at the old Greenvvod Athletic
club, where he did most of his train
ing for tht ring battles to come. His
rushing tactics and heavy-hitting pow
ers enaoied him to score a succes
sion of knockouts before he was 17.
His phenomenal success soon earned
him the sobriquet of "Terrible Terry."
His first losing fight was when he
was disqualified for fouling "Tim"
Callaghan of Philadelphia at the Bay
Ridge Athletic club. Long before he
earned the American championship
title.
On September 12. 1899. McGovern
won the world's featherweight honors
by knocking out "Pedlar" Palmer of
England in less than a round at Tuck
ahoe, N. Y.
Two years later, on Thanksgiving
day, at Hartford, Conn., McGovern
lost the title to Young Corbett of
Denver, Colo., who knocked the
champion out in the second round.
Mobile Lar.i: Another
International Athlete
The Mobile club of the Southern
league has added another Internation
al league player to its list in Harry
Damrau, third baseman, who has
been purchased from Montreal. Dam
rau had a good year with the Royals
last year and Manager Patsy Flaherty
of the Mobile team believes he is just
the riian needed for third base.

LINCOLN TROUNCES
MULLIGAN'S FIVE
Capital City Tossers Take
Omaha Central Quintet to
Trimming, Twenty-One
to Eighteen.
Lincoln, Neb., Feb. -22. (Special
Telegram.) Lincoln High upset the
dope bucket last night by taking
Coach Mulligan's Central High five
to a beating, 21 to 18, in a fast game
of basket ball at the university gym
nasium. Mulligan's floor squadron could not
get going in the first half and, al
though the Central High lads hit a
faster stride in the second period, it
was not enough to overcome the lead
which the Red and Black had ob
tained. The Omaha five could not locate the
basket, due to the close guarding of
Lincoln. Smith and Maxwell, usually
good for field goals, were helpless
most of the evening.
Although minus the services of its
captain, Cypreansorr, Lincoln, with
Jungmeyer and Munn in the stellar
roles, played good basket ball. Payn
ter was the only man of the Omaha
five who could consistently locate the
basket.

Htrzog's Value in Cold
Dollars Becomes Great
Buck Herzog was playing with
York, and later, Reading, in 1907. His
work was so good at third base that
he was snapped up by the New York
Giants, who paid $750, the draft price,
for him. Herzog's price then began
mountaing.
In 1909 the Boston Braves handed
over to the Giants Beals Becker,
whose market price was considered
then about $8,000, for the peppery
Herzog. Bridwell and Hank Cowdy,
together worth about $15,000, went
to Boston for Herzog in 1911, and
he became a Giant again.
In 1913, to obtain Herzog as a man
ager, Cincinnati parted witn uoo
Becker, worth about $15,UUU. lo get
him back again, the Giants handed
the Reds Christy Mathewson, Eddie
Rousch, Bill McKechnie and some
cash, a total of about $25,000.
This winter, in order to get Herzog,
the Boston club has sent Taylor to
Chicago for Doyle, and then turned
over Doyle and Jess Barnes to the
Giants, equivalent to about $15,000.
Thus, you see, tierzog comes up
about $78,750 in alleged value. Yes,
alleged value.

Don't Invite Attack by Slug
gish Circulation.

around the system to protect it from
the insidious enemy of disease. Thus
you are assured of a strong and vig

health.
When impurities creep into the
blood supply, there is a loss of en

are easily tired and find the body
weakening under ordinary tasks, all
of which means that you are losing
Coveleskie Will Try to
Regain His Lost Nerve
Two pitchers of the Detroit Amer
icans have signed 1918 contracts. The
men are Harry Coveleskie the veteran
left hander and Joe Finneran, a right
hand recruit from the American as

became discouraged last year because
he though he arm was through.

U. S. Calls for Service
From Patent Law Experts
Washington, Feb. 22. Secretary
Lane today appealed to patent law
experts who have received part of
their training as examiners in the
patent office, to return and serve the
government in its present emergency
by taking positions as examiners if
only for a year.
The law provides for scarcely
enough examiners for the normal
business of the patent office and the
force is now IS per cent short from
men going into private practice and
military duty. Attempts to fill the
vacancies through the civil service
commission and by appeals to uni
versities have failed.
