BASEBALL TALK
FROM LANCASTER
Pop Foster Bad With Fans,
VIII Not Manage Club
There Again

LANCASTER, Nov. 3.-There appears
70 be less interest in football in this Sec
ton this season than for some years past
and the baseball fans" positively refuses
70 be downed. There is almost as much
ban talk being aired now as there was
when the crack Of the bat resounded from
the Mossmere lot in the exciting days OF
the Tri-State season.
Two questions are uppernost in the
minds Of the local followers Of the great
rational pastime. namely; VIII there be
a Tri-State circuit next seasoni and will
Lancaster have a team in It II It does ma
terializes In some Of the towns repre-
sented last season matters appears to be
BIT hazy. owing to financial losses sus-
tanned. Lancaster has had couple OF bad
seasons, but there is a game board OF d.
rectors behind the local bunch Of ball
tossers. and the Red Roses will "be
there" when the gong sounds next year.
The management win be an all import
ant question TO be solved first OF all.
Clarence Foster. who came here from
Newark. and who last SESSION piloted the
fortunes OF tho Red Roses, is believed
10 be out Of the running altogether. Lat
terly he had been in wrong with the fans
and one OF tho directors OF the club Is au-
thority for the statement that next sea-
son Foster will not be considered.
Lancaster will lose some of her star
performers. shortstop A. c. Newton and
Pitcher Moser, have been drafted by AZ.
lanta- covalesiSi. the Polish port wheeler
whose performance for the Philles
against New York after the Tri-State sea
son had closed win be remembered as
long as baseball is played. viii star with
Murray's outfit next year. Isso Hafford
who was the property Of Baltimore, goes
to Cincinnati.
The team. in consequence, will start
without a pitcher. but will have the ser.
vices OF the followinE Catchers. Re.
menter and Grady; inhelders, Deal. Titz,
patrick. Odell; outheders. Hemphin and
Marshall. Former Manager Foster, It is
understood. would like to locate in rren-
ton. and a deal OF this sort may be ef-
fecfed.

TWO BIG CIPHERS
TELL THIS STORY
Springs and LenOxPOIO Teams
Meet In Pretty Contest and
Both Get Goose Eggs

one cipher for the Springs boys and
one for the Lenox These tell the story
Of struggle at polo last night at the
Eleventh Street Rink II was a game
that caused everyone who witnessed
II to act on the out vive as the French
say. To use a slang parlance II was
battle royal with all the trimmings
and requirements necessary to satiate
the demand of the most ardent follow
er Of this popular game. Itching from
the defeat by the Springs and by the
Indians last week the Lenox boys had
their dander up and they promised
their supporters that the game last
night was surely to be theirs. but as
Bobby Burns says. "The best laid plan
Of mice and men," etc, etc.
II was generally thought about the
rink last night that the game would
not be an interesting one. owing to a
mishap suffered by Beatty Of the
Springs boys in a game Saturday night
at Atlantic City. when his hand was
painfully injured in a contest with the
shore boys But contrary TO expecta-
tions Beatty went into the game with
all the vim and vigor at his command.
Within the memory Of the closest fol-
lower Of this popular game there has
not been a prettier contest seen OF
any floor In this city since the revival
of the game. The defence work of both
teams was admirable and it would be
hard for the most critical judge to say
which team had the better of the ar
gument. as every man on each team
covered his position with glory to him
self and credit 10 his team. Both teams
gave exhibition Of scientific playing
being about par. Medals are due Cap
tain Goodwin of the Lenox. for his
defence OF goal, and Sieman, of tn,
Springs likewise, their work being o
high order. Halfback Yates of tn,
Lenox and halfback McElwee of tn
Springs can easily share honors /
medals were to be handed out. thei
work being sensational. The Steven
boys for the Lenox ably supported b,
Hill fought hard for goals and a
times when things seemed critical tn
trick would always be turned agains
them. This can truly be said of Glow
. ard Beatty and Stoddard. Beatty ant
Cloward stormed the cage of their op
ponents time after time, but. Th
tension of excitement aroused by tn
game endured throughout the contest
T. men and women. girls and boys. yellel
/ themselves hoarse when either team
I got dangerously near the respectiv
goals.
, Frank Traynor was to referee las
night and Manager Cloward of the rinl
I held open the time for play for MI
Traynor's arrival. but he failed to shov
up. and Sharp Chandler was substi
tuted. Mr. Traynor will referee Thurs
day nights game.

By HOBE FERRIS.

ST. LOUIS, April 2o--Honestly-
speaking from a workingnan's stand
point and considering the amount OF
labor involyed-I would rather play
third base than eat.
when ! went into the business OF
playing professional baseball seven
years ago / naturally tried 10 pick out
the SOftest job and finally decided third
base vas about the easiest place iu
sight
THE hardest place? Why. nowhere
but second base. There's q position JHal
tries a mans soul Yes and his pa
thence and his nerve as well. 4 second
baseman has a thousand things 20 think
Of where a third baseman has one
Some OF the fans got the notion this
spring that 'Hobe' was all in. One
Boston club official said couldn' [
throw from third base 10 the pitcher
The Cardinals thought 50. too. I guess,
for they tried the bunting game
Il tried 10 show them that ! COULD
throw when I HAD TO THROW and
they changed their tactics
Third base2 Why even were ! a
Bradley or a Collins I would be almost
ashamed TO take my salary for playing
that position
