By THOMAS S. RICE.

GALVESTON, March 2o.-The best
known way 10 obtain baseball protection
ana prevent having your players stolen
by rival leagues is to become a member
Of the National Association, but there
are others equally as effective. Pitcher
Myers, Of the Galveston team, OF the
Texas League has been knocking
around among the minors for many
years and tells some funny stories about
his experiences. One Of the best IS
about protecting ball players. He said:
Some years ago I was pitching for
Dale Gear. who was running the Little
Rock team. He heard that there was
some talent IN a bush league in Texas
worth considering. and sent ME to
Paris. Tex, as a trusty scout TO see

an outlaw affair and there would be no

COLUMBIA WILL HAVE
UNUSUALLY HEAVY CREW

NEW YORK, March 23.-One of the
largest and heaviest crew squads that
Columbia University has turned out in
many years has begun outdoor practice.
Coach James c. Rice has put his oars

The candidates average about 10
pounds, and there are q number of men
In the 100 pound class, Rice, however,
considers 165 pounds the most desirable
weight for crew men, and said he would
lower the average before many weeks
OF outdoor work had elapsed.
Two months OF hard practice on the
machines has served 20 bring out a
good deal Of promising material. Some
OF the new candidates have made such
good showing in their ability TO learn

Two Cardinals beat out hunts.

Sir Wilfred Here Also.

Sir Wilf.cd also viii race here, and Il
IS not improbable that ne may start IN
the opening event of the meeting
though this has not been definitely de-
tCrmined upon yet.
Sir Wilfred was pretty badly bowed
last year. and although his legs nov arc
smooth and hard, the colt viii be under
suspicion until he has been severely test
ed. So far he has done everything ask

manner and If he stands lie Is sure to

workers here among the jockeys. Wal
ter Miller would be entitled 10 the lead
ership. Miller arrived in Washington
yesterday. He reached the crack at

utes later, and, before another quarter

Mcdaniel Also Here.

Jockey Mcdaniel got here this morn
ing, also, but unlike Miller, he has
changed greatly during the winter. He
seems to be several inches taller, but
says that he still can ride under 100
pounds. Mcdaniel was in very good
form at Ascot Park, and a glance at the
list OF fines he was compelled 70 pay
for rough riding would indicate that he
had lost the timidity which proved such
a bar to his success in the East last
year.
Mcdaniel will ride Okenite in the han
dicap. and VIII have the leg up on Mr..
Oxnard's selected one for the Dinner
Stakes. So far he has no fixed engage
ment for the season.
Assistant Starter MOrrissey has had
a barrier erected on the Columbia course
and put in a busy morning schooling
youngsters to break from the starting
gate. Trainers, remembering the new
rule which makes a fine imperative for
tho failure to school two-year-olds. are
taking full advantage Of the opportunity
afforded them to break their juveniles
to the barrier, which generally was fol-
lowed up with a speed trial OF three fur
longs. Morrissey will be on hand every
morning to school horses.
Balzac, the sensational but cratic
steeplechaser, who either won or was
beaten off in all his races last year, Is
through with racing and gone into
peaceful retirement near the Benning
track, where his hardest task will be
drawing the family carriage to church
Sundays. Balzac broke down hard last
fall, but his young owner did not care

Horace E IS In as forward condition
