Two Stories About ths Veteran First

FIRST STORY

ffank Bancroft is one of the mast
 interesting characters in base ball. but
 he Is never more so than when living over in reminiscence t--e days or yors.
 While the old war horse is entitled to the rank of patriarch militant in the Grand Order of Swat. he is the young est man in the business today. Things have changed said he at a
 fan club session the other day. fWhen l started out at New Bedford the pay roll of my Whalers aggregated $4,5OO for the season. We have at least two
 Reds who are drawing as much as
 that whole team of mine and among the players were such old-timers as
 George Washington Bradley, Ceorge Gore, Jake Evans and Jim Mutrie. who captained and played short for the muniticent salary of S75 a month
 I had one $40 man in John Pickett.
 Roger Connor played third for me that season, and I released him because he couldn't hit! Never in my base ball career have I had as odd an experi- enee as I did that season of nv in fancy in the game. A 20O-pounder nanrad Curtis came to me for job as catcher. Hitting was his strong point I generally make a home run or two every day. said the big fellow. and I LOOK nlnq OH aJ SfU q HOHtn. HaE ISi- low reported with pair of the worst hands ever gazed upon.

BILLIARDS.
SCHAEFER GETTING BACK
 INTO FORM WRITES HOPPE

Writing from Paris, Willie Hoppe says that Jake Schaefer has greatly recovered his form and is now in bet ter physical Condition than he has been for some time. His match with Cure will not likely come off, as Cure does not seem to care to play. sutton, he says, has improved great deal, and in practice for his match game with Vignaux, to take place tonight, has been playing great billiards.
 Sutton played great uphill game against Vignaux," says young Hoppe, ''and if he had not been quite so anx- ious he would probably have won the match game of eighteen-inch balk line, two shots in. in January. Sutton was very cool all through his game, while Vignaux, even though he is getting old, shows the same wonderful grit and de termination which won public sentl- ment years ago, but he is not the Vig- nauy of old.
 "Fournil is one of the prettiest and fastest players in France. have seen him run 200 points in twenty-five minutes. not being forced to drive the object ball up and down the table un- i til the 143d shot. All of the players now here will probably be re-engaged for next season.N Jevne who mas re turned to America, regard as the best three-cushion player in the world Hoppe modestly says his playing i'll , Paris has attracted a great deal of at tention. From other sources and from clipping enclosed in the letter. the French papers declare that he will De the champion within three years as he is improving very rapidly.

Rice, the president of the congress and the donor of, the prizes, and ex- pressed the hope that r11s expert would decide ill their favor, for they did not care to play another match after having played chess for four weeks running.

TROTTING.
OLD DRIVER
 TO RETURN.
John Splan Will Follow in Footsteps of Budd Doble
 Has a Fast Pace That Will b ; Heard From.

John Splan, the old-time driver of see if time has wrought any changes in his skill. Good old Doble, with his Kinney Lou, more than once last year showed that he was far from ''back number" Splan has been selling horses for years, and also acting as an advises to men who wanted to buy good horses. Very little riding in the sulky has been his lot, but this year Starter Frank Walkers resonant voice emphatically insisting. "Splan, keep your position" will be heard on the big tracks. The news came east yes terday from Chicago, the stamping ground of Splain. He wrote "Si" Klatz, and said:
 II am going to Indianapolis. May 1, with my stable. I have as the star, Dan R., who has mark of 2.01s4. The chestnut pacer-you know him. from old Indiana. He is about three fourths thoroughbred and is not afraid of any pacer that has ever came down the line. I mean business, and I bar no one. I am willing to race any pac- CT ill the world, horse race, three i'll five Eddie Geers has been behind this fellow and he says he is a good one. Splan is going to be heard from and Prince Albert is what I would like to tackle first. I also have Bi Flora, by Expedition, which Glenn Brochey stepped mile in 211M many moons ago There are others, too. Budd, Eddie and the young boys sure have Splan to beat this year. Been some years since I scored down regularly. but will be there. all right.
 When Budd Doble came. ont of re- tirernent last year he awoke the mem ories of Goldsmith Maid and famous trotters of other days. It was an event celebrated on more than one track. And Eplan. the wit, of the trotting world, man more than tSve11- ty years ago had such one as Matfe Hunter. What will it be when ne speaks to Starter Walker before the score. There are only few of the oil guard left-Doble. Marvin. Splan-- men who were driving when drum beats had not long been silenced. But Dan K. (2.01A) and Splan will make a strong team. The old driver and trainer generally means what ne says and when he lays down the eaunf- let to such horses as Dan Patch. pr;nce AIbert and the like he must l,now what tIfe "thoroughbred' pacer is quite q race horse. Rut no mat,st 1,s where the track. if there is one or the old guard near the rail. shout IS sure to he heard as Splan goes un ana down the stretch. 1t will De like oitl times, for sure.

BASEBALL POET.

Here is some old verse that base kall fan requests be reprinted
 .1 The man with the bat strode up. For the baseball season was ripe; And sized up the ball the pitcher sent in,
 And hit it powerful swipe, Then the ball went whizZing forth From the force of that powerful whack. And bored it's way through the short stops hands. And knocked him fiat on his back. And the players sent up a yell, And the crowd sent up a shout, And q pretty girl up in the grand stand asked: Does that put the umpire out?"
