SMALL BOY KING OF The LOTS
WITH BASEBALL MASK FOR CROWN

Others are simply excuses, hence this
story.
The question. why do small boys tell
such things can be best told by a
glance at the above picture by our
| friend Lem. He was a boy once. you
know, and | asked him where he went
when he played hockey from school.
He said he never did such a thing. He
always had somebody dead in the fam
lily when he wanted to see a game of
ball.
That's the answer. When small boy
is not at school in summer time go to
the baseball grounds. IL the Tigers are
not at home then dig GU TO the near
| est lot and there you will find him in
high glee. Certainly the national game
has the attraction for young and old,
and the youngsters will do almost any
thing. invent almost n kind of a
tale TO get to the baseball park or else
out on the commons, where with mits
and bat and a Eureka" ball he will
stay until 1t is time to e in by the
back door and try and escape the old
gents slipper or a whack from mother
and her broomstick.

GIANTS FIRST SACKER
FORMERLY A BRAKEMAN,

SHARON, April 1.-Louis Evans, who
has made a hit with McGraw, of the
Giants, was playing with amateur
teams in this locality two years ago.
The rise of this player from the ranks
of the bush league to the National in
one year reads like a fairy tale, Last
year was Evans's first year as a pro-
fessional. Four years ago Evans
worked as a brakeman on a roller
coaster at Idorn Park in Youngstown.
He played ball whenever he got the
chance. 1t was while on this job that
he got the professional bee buzzing.
Reddy Mack, the old time big Lacquer,
was captain of the Youngstown team,
and Evans asked him for a job. Mack
promised him that If he EVER became a
manager he would try him out.
Last year Mack was elected manager
of the Paramount, w. Va, team in the
West Penn League, and the first man
he signed was Evans. That was the
latter's first year out, and he made
good with a vengeance. Dan Brouthers.
who was scouting for New York, was
so we'll impressed with Evans's work
that he advised McGraw TO buy him,
which he did. McGraw likes his style
and Evans is almost sure of a good
berth this year. -Four years g Evans
was working for SIS a week. His
contract this year calls for 81, 500.

HOPPE CLICKS 2I9
AND AGAIN BEATS
WIZARD SCHAEFER

PHILADELPHIA, April 1.-Willis
Hoppe again demonstrated that he is
a master of billiards. as he not only de-
feated Wizard Schaefer in both con-
tests yesterday but in the night game
gathered a collection of 213, giving one
of the most wonderful exhibitions of
the balk-line nurse ever seen in this
city.
II was not unit. the eighteenth inning
that the boy got going right. but after
gathering the balls close to the upper
rail he soon got them in shape for the
balk-line nurse and made SO before
they slipped away. A slow draw
brought them back in position and it
was tick-tick until the total reached
a century.
Here the red ball rolled too far out
and 1t required three trips for position
before the youngster could coax them
together. On the 150th shot the worries
again acted like spoiled children and
rolled down the cushion side by side,
lining up in the lower left-hand corne
It took little masses to bring them

selves, they Rugged the line in perfect
shape, while Hoppe kept touching them
with that delicate stroke that has Won
him so many games.
AS the referee called 200 the crowd
broke loose, and cheered like mad and
when a kiss spoiled further at
213 everybody sighed.
Schaefer then made one and Hope

They want a chance to shout.

And he leads a mighty clan.

soggy condition of the diamond made

ings arrived here after the mornings

strenuous as Monday. On account of
the crispness of the air, the men were
not allowed to cut loose. Jim Mullen,
who seems to be the logical candidate
for the head of the team on the field,
went through several inside plays ar
ranged with Manager Stallings Monday
night.
1t will be inside ball this season with
the Tigers. The game will be played
on lines besides merely hit the ball and
run, Monday night Manager Stallings
and his men had a meeting in the din
ing-room of the hotel, which was
turned over to the team for the even
ing. Signal plays were arranged then,
which We're tried out this morning by
Acting-captain Mullen.
With Stanage and Krichell here. the
pitchers had some good workouts to-
day. No curves were used. Pardee
looks to be fit. Stanage was at the re-
ceiving end with the big boilermaker.
While Stanage is rather fat, it viii not
take him so long to get down to weight
as 1t will Engle, who seems to put on
flesh. He is the heaviest MAJ on the
team at the present time. Kritchell
seems ready TO go in tomorrow if the
occasion should arrive.
The Newark team for the season of
1908 Is about ready, with the exception
of the few big leaguers Stallings is
waiting to be turned over to him. The
pitchers. I am told, will be Frill and
Wilhelm, the south side slant singers,
Pardee, Miller. Stout and Brockett.
Krichell and Stanage win be at the re-
ceiving end; Sharpe, a fixture, at first
base, Mullen at second base, and Engle
stop. third base, left and centre field
will be made up of major leaguers.
Mailing will play utility roles.
