GRlFF WILL TRANSFER
CHASE TO THE OUTFIELD.

Jake Stahl is going to succeed Hal
Chase as first baseman of the New
York highlanders. Manager Griffith
said that to a Chicago friend when he
made the deal for Stahl with the
Boston club some time ago. Chase is
not to retire from the game, though.
That wonderful player will be shifted
to the outfield
Many fans will think it strange for
Griffith to take Chase off the initial
sack, as he is one of the greatest first
basemen ever developed. But Crit
submitted good reasons. In the first
place, Chase is not a robust fellow and
is easily hurt by the bumps he gets
around first base. Since he has been
with New York he has been out of the
game at least six weeks each season on
account of injuries. which a more
rugged fellow like Stahl wouldn't
notice.
Chase uses a mitt that is almost as
thin as paper and his hands are
sometimes SO pounded up from the
hard, wild throws that he is bothered
in holding his bat Used in the out

HOWDOlN RELAY MEN
DOWN TO HARD WORK.

Brunswick. Me-, Jan. 21.-(SpeciaD.
This afternoon the candidates for che
relay team which will represent Bow
dom at the B. A. A. meet the first OF
February. were put through some hard
work under the direction of Under
graduate Morrill,. The men were in
structed personally in how to take the
corners and in starting. Each man
was then required to run twice around
the running track at full speed, No
time was kepteon the runner. as the
final tryouts do not come until later in
this week or the first of next. The
men who ran today from whom the
team of five. including one substitute.
will be chosen, We're as follows:
Capt. Atwood. '09: Solbath, 10; Stone.
'oS; Ballard, 10; Simmons. '09; DEM
ming, 10.
Coach Morrill, in speaking of the
team stated that he was pleased with
the showing Of the men and expected
to take a fast team to Boston with
him. Last year, the relay team which
he coached made a very creditable
showing and if one of the runners had
not stumbled badly, Bowdoin> would
have probably at least won from its
hrst opponent. A number of the stu
dents are planning to accompany the
team on its trip.

HALF A LIFE WITH CUE.
Wizard Jake Schaefer Tells Of Study
Given to Billiards.

NO sport in the calendar requires
more practice and study than
billiards." said the veteran Jake
Schaefer the other day. and those who
know anything about table games will
admit the truth of the statement.
Schaefer figures that he has spent
nearly half his life with a billiard cue
in his hand, which is a hard thing for
those to swallow who believe great
billiardists, like generals, are born and
not made. Practice, however, was
what made Schaefer one of the great
est billiard players.
Before the recent contest between
Schaefer and Sutton for the 1871 balk-
line worlds championship, which the
former retained, Sutton put in eight
hours every day at practice. He was
constantly pounding out all kinds OF
caroms, figuring how to get the larg-
est count in and out of balk, and
laboring to perfect his stroke 50 as to
caress the worries like a summer
breeze when astride the lines.
1t is the same sort of practice in
which four experts are now engaged
Cutler and Schaefer for their match
at 1871 in Philadelphia. and Sutton
and Morningstar for their game in
New York this month.

DOINGS IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS.

field, where he would be almost i'm
mune from accidents, Chase could keep
in the best of condition all the time
and therefore able to do more for his
team in the way of batting and base
running than when forced onto the
bench by serious injuries received
around first base or slowed up by
minor accidents which only half in
capacitate him.
Moreover Griffith thinks Chase will
be just as brilliant an outfielder as he
was a first baseman. Stahi, on the
other hand. never has shown that he
can play the outfield, but he is a
cracking good first baseman-not so
spectacular as Chase, of course, but
still a good man in every way.
Stahl on account of his physique is
almost impervious to the whacks and
bumps that first sacker must expect.
He can take a throw close to the
runner, and if the runner happens TO
butt into him the only one to express
any regrets is the runner. While
Chase was game as a pebble and never
got out Of the game without sufficient
excuse. his less rugged constitution
could stand only just so much and it
was Il depressing effect on the New
York team to lose him every little
while, as he was the best hitter on the
team and the cleverest fielder.
Besides that Chase is anxious to play
the outtield. He admits freely that lie
could give his team better service as
an outtieldor and welcomes the chance
"a take his place III the outer gardens.
Grifith's move in taking what many
people call the best first baSeman in
the business off the initial sack and
making an outiielder of him is a very
radical step. but the little fox" is
confident it will be the means of
strengthening his ball club. With
Chase and Stahl in the game every
| day. New York will have the services
of two swell right-hand hitters, and
while Jake's first basing may be a little
| shy of the Chase STANDARD, Chase with
| all his wonderful speed will brace up
| the outfield and the team fielding
average will be raised rather than
| lowered.

PuLLIAM SENDS WARM TELE:
GRAM TO AUGUST HERMANN.
Says That Latter Is Politician and Thai
Fact Explains Change of Front===Says
Powers Statement Is Untrue.

Cincinnati, Jar. 21.-President August
Club, last night received Il telegram
from President Harry c. Pulliam of the
National Baseball League. in reference
TO the blacklist proposition that has
agitate6 the baseball world since the
recent meeting Of the National Base
bah Commission In his telegram Pull
liam says:
1.-The other day when issued a state
ment on the matter of the now cele-
brated blacklist Of the National Com
mission, | stated it was my final say
and that was my purpose. Had those
10 whom this statement was directed
confined themselves to the truth in
their reply. | would have remained 81
lent, but they have not and therefore
] take this measure of trying to set this
issue clearly before the baseball pub
lie.
1.-The signed statement as submitted
by p. T. Powers, president of the Ma
tlonal Association. and printed in the
New York papers, was interesting il
true, but not being true, it follows
that IL could not be interesting.
Il note that +. r. Powers takes great
satisfaction in publishing broadcast {
statement from the Hon. August Herr
mann, chairman of the National Com
mission. in which. Mr.. Hermann de.
Tended his position.
THAT fact does not surprise me, not
withstanding that l have three letters
from Mr.. Hermann. written in No
vem5er after the action of the Nation
al Association, in which he says, owe
his own signature, that the action o
the National Association was unwar
ranted and would not be allowed to g
unnOticed by the National Commission
Mr.. Hermann is a politician, a grea
politician, and that explains the reasol
why he takes a different position il
January, 1905, to that in November
1907.
III I go down in defeat, 1 will re
tire from the game that l have served
faithfully for IA years, without regret.
