RACING, BASE BALL
AND OTHER SPORTS

young men. but 1 say to them be careful
before you take up the game as a pro-
fesson
After a man is tried, accepted and been
given a place on a big league team he does
not average much more than three years
before he is sent back to the minors as
back number. He may, if he is a wonder,
command a salary of $1,000 for one or two
years, but I'll gamble that the average
young man who starts out to make base
ball his profession does not average as
much per year during his base ball career
as well-paid clerk in any dry goods store
or bank
The college young man, who, during his
four years at some big institution has de-
veloped wonderful talent at base ball, is
scarcely to be blamed for trying the big
leagues for a year or so. Usually his
parents have money and he can afford to
lose year or so gaining experience and
seeing the country.
The worst fault of the base ball bust
ness is that it teaches young fellows the
habit of extravaganza and high living.
Naturally, the players of great teams are
lauded by the newspapers. The boys meet
hundreds of good fellows who are always
willing to drink, carouse and have good
time.
In consequence. ball players spend their
money for rich clothes. wines. cigars, dia-
monds, etc, and usually, when they are
confronted with their ten days notice of
released. the diamonds about all they
have left to show for the earnings Of
years
ITO me. it is a sad commentary on the
game to see the great stars of the diamond
toiling as day laborers. The greatest
pitcher of them all, Amos Ruse, is carry
ing lumber in an Indiana yard at 81. a
day. / have seen him spend $500 in one
night. Rusie is not the only one, either,
but his case is almost pitiable as that
of Terry McGovern, the fighter.

O'Connor, and. if you're after the 'cush,'
you can find it in better paying quantities

BILLY GILBERT
WON'T PLAY WITH MINORS

NEW YORK. January 16.-Another little
storm is brewing in the base ball world,
ana it is one that is likely to cause the
Newark team of the Eastern League and
the management of the Giants no little in
convenience. Manager McGraw of the
Giants decided short time ago that Billy
Gilberts work at the bat was a trife light
for member of a team with worlds cham
ponship aspirations and sold the lively lit
tie second baseman to the Newarks Nc
Graw patted himself on the back on the
contamination of this deal, as he thought
he had done well by Gilbeyt, who halls from
New Jersey and seemed assured of royal
welcome captain Of the Newark team.
But McGraw reckoned without Gilbert
The latter is anything but pleased. He says
he intends to retire from base ball as a
major league player and could not think
Of sinking back into minor league team,
even as captain. Gilbert now plans to
open a cafe on the white light section of
Broadway and entertain his numerous ad-
mirers besides adding I" his bank account.
All this will be sad reading at the Giants
seem TO have got themselves involved in a
deal OF the yellow rind order.
Clarke Griffith is expected daily at the
Yankees headquarters in the Fiatrron
building, and then things in the Yankees
camp VIII begin to sizzle. According to
Nahon have received, Grin is the champion
wild game shot of Montana. What Nahon
thinks OF this can be gathered from the
fact that he is going into training at once
I'm a 9th avenue cellar shooting gallery
with the idea of challenging Griff. The
Yankees manager was wan and weak at
the end of the strenuous season of 1906
He Will return new man. He predicts
great success for the Yankees this year.
and this optimism is shared by Farrell and
his secretary, Nahon-
1t is said Grin is not figuring on making
any changes in the personnel of the team
He might, however, pick up a couple of
good men to strengthen the pitching staff
lie has already added BrOckett OF Buffalo
and Hughes of Atlanta. There is no talk
OF dropping Chesbro just at present.
George S. Davis of the Chicago White
SoX dropped into the Yankees Headquarters
yesterday TO talk little ball. Impressing
Tim Hurst as a guide the famous Chicago
player took in the auto show. Davis got
the impression that Umpire Hurst is con-
templating the purchase OF half dozen
cars.

CATCHER CRIGER
SIGNS WITH BOSTON

BOSTON, January 16.-In a telegram to
Hugh McBreen from Elkhart, Ind, yester-
day Owner John l. Taylor of the Boston
Americans announced that Louis Criger
had signed a 1907 contract.
'Criger is twenty pounds heavier than he
was last fall and is in great shape" said
Taylor's telegram.
With Criger in condition, Boston fandom
has every right to be hopeful, for Criger
will strengthen the Boston club % per cent.
Criger's inability to play last season put
the Boston club to the bad more than any
thing else. Game after game was lost be-
cause of Inexperienced backstopping There
isn't catcher in the country who has any
thing on Criger and the fact that he has
signed up so early shows that he will come
here perfectly satisfied and ready to do his
best work.

HARRY LEWIS
AFTER JOE CANS

PHILADELPHIA, January 16.-Can Joe
Cans be induced to duly observe one Harry
Lewis, after the dusky champion has sent
Jimmy Britt along the pathway that Bat
ting Nelson and, more recently, Kid Her.
man have trod? Lewis and his friends are
just now engaged in asking Cans and his
followers some rather embarrassing ques-
tions, obviously with the intention of draw
ing Cans into battle. eYt there is no deny
ing the fact that Lewis is surely entitled
to meet Cans, most certainly in view of
the champions willingness to fight Kid
Herman, who never had much as
chance, and who, now the fight is over,
gamely admits his conquerors superiority.
Blu Lewis and Cans have met before, and
that within a year, for 1T was only last
spring that they boxed six rounds without
decision in New York. Almost every
body conceded that Lewis made good
showing upon that occasion. His friends
going even further, and are declaring,
referring to that meeting: Lewis has
beaten Cans in six rounds. And If In six,
then why not in bout of greater lensth?"
But in justice to Cans it should be remem-
bered that he met Lewis upon that occasion
just after returning east from San Fran
cisco. the railroads assisting, 1t might be
mentioned in passing: Cans was then In
no shape for a fight but he was down and
out financially and gladly jumped at the
chance to appear in New York. One would
be surprised he to know how small
the figure was that brought Cans to New
York upon that occasion. 1t was hardly a
per cent of what he has been fighting for
in Nevada.
One of Lewis most legitimate claims for
a battle with Cans is that Harry has 5000
to put up as a side bet upon himself
Neither Herman nor Britt, has shown any
such amount of money. Lewis has made
whole lot of good fellows sit up and take
notice in the last few months, and now he
is rapidly placing Cans upon the same list.
AS long as Lewis is in sight with the coin
that talks louder than words, Cans can
hardly declare as is attributed to him. that
there are no more worlds for him to con-
quer.
