vAnUABLE COLT IS DESTROYED
Son of Lucky Dog and Nightgown
Breaks Leg at Memphis

Memphis. Tenn, Jan. ia valu-
able 2-year-old colt by Lucky Dog
Nightgown snapped his leg during ex-
ercise hours at Montgomery park and
had to be destroyed. The youngster
was a half-brother to Dishabille and
owned by G. G. Bennett, who regarded
the colt as one of the most promising
of his young racers.
Six head of jumpers, mostly the
property of Mrs. William Welsh and
Mrs A. Noble, reached Montgomery
park from Latonfa. John Dillon and
Rain or Shine were in the lot.
Jockey Lee -Schi11ing, who will do

McGRAw FEARS FOR INFTELD.
Would Offer $4,000 for Evers to Re-
place Billy Gilbert.

New York, Jan. 19.-That John J.
McGraw fears for his infieId the COM
ing season is evident from the hurried
moves he is making to strengthen it.
One of these was shown in the story
in an afternoon paper today in which
the announcement was made that if
McGraw and Brush were friendly with
Murphy of the Chicago cubs they
would offer a big price for Johnny
Evers. McGraw has just begun to
realize the excellence of the little Troy
mans work around the middle sack,
according to this story.
Now that Billy Gilbert, never a
great star. has been allowed to go to
the Eastern league as manager,
either Sammy Strang or Tom Corcoran
is slated for the vacant place. Strang
would help the batting strength of the
team. but would prove an indifferent
fielder. 1t would be just the reverse
with Corcoran. No wonder, then. that
McGraw wants to get a man who is
phenomenal fielder and a good batter
too. But the idea that the Chicago
team would part with Evers is laughed
at here

A FIGHT FOR SECOND BASE.
Cecil Bankhead and Johnnie Green
Active in Oklahoma.

Down at Oklahoma City the fight for
second base will be between two ex-
Wichita players-Cecil Bankhead and
Johnnie Green. If fancy vests and
fussy clothes will win the place, the
mayor of Argentine will have the Wy
oming rancher skinned a city block.
But Green made pretty good at Okla
homa City last season. He hit we'll and
played the keystone bag to perfection.
He may surprise Bankhead after all,
and it is not altogether impossible for
him to win the place. He is a favorite
in the Oklahoma town, too.
1t was Johnny Green who won the
one-hit game for Oklahoma City on
Labor day last year. Farmer" Thomp-
son was pitching for Leavenworth. In
the first inning he gave base on balls.
Green came to bat and laced out a
homer, scoring one man ahead of him.
Those two runs won the game, and 1t
took them both to win it, too. The
Leavenworth "phenom" frightened up
and refused to allow another hit dur
ing the rest of the game, but the dam
age had been done, and to Johnny
Green was given the credit for it

night that it has a real basket ball
squad by defeating the Crescent five of
Chicago on the K. c. A. c. court by a

the deciding game of a series of three.
The Athletics went into the game with
a lineup different from any that has
worn the Blue Diamond this year.
Buckley, nursing a personal grievance,
refused to play with the Athletics and
Beck, a dark horse. took his place.
Beck showed that he knows the game
and he played Hussey off his feet, get
ting four goals from the field. while
