GREER A REAL CHAMPION.
Boston ScuIIer FOrcfhIy Demon
strated His Superiority

In retiring while he IS holder Of the na-
tionaI sCuIIiug championship Frank 3.
Greer Of the East Boston a A has de-
cided on a wise course and he always viii
be remembered as an oarsman of excep-
tiouaI merit Whether re won OF lost.
Greer acted the same. and this made him
a favorite with the men who Ike a gen
uiue sportsman BY his victory al
Springfield Greer forcibly demonstrated
that in America to-day he has no peer
with the scuus. and il is doubtful Il his
match could be found In any other coun-
Try IN the world. In all Greer has been
rowing about twelve years and IN that
interval he has achieved some rare per
foruances. the mos. prominent being the
record for a mile and a half on still
water and with a turn This was in the
championship singles OF 1870. when the
Boston man covered the course at W0r-
cester in minutes 3 81 seconds. or u 81
seconds faster than Titus made over the
same stretch Of water in 1872. When Titus
won again in 1876 his time was 10 min
utes 3 seconds. and these figures more
than anything else show that Greer was
in a class by himself
Greer urSJ appearance N udllolidl
events took place in 1893. the year the
championship was held at Boston, and al
the time he represented the Jehries POin;
Rowing Club. Of Boston. He tried for
the intermediate singles and won rather
easily in 10 minutes q seconds Nex'
Z year. when the national fixture was held
/ on the Harlem River. Greer was starter
I IN the association singles and was az
/ easy winner. His time was 5 minutes i
seconds with the tide. but no sculler has
since come within lengths Of these figures
/ on the same water To Greer's credit
| there are four wins in the championship
sinzles-1e03. 1904. 1915. and 1S0Nand hs
would have won in 1906 had he not beer
/ barred by a technicality.
/ OF course. the champion suffered defeat
a few times when he was short Of work
I the most notable Instances being las
/ year and in 1902. IN the matter Of hand
I ling his souls Greer was not the mos
stylish performer 10 look upon and h,
compared poorly with less successful
knights Of the ashen blade He used
/ long raking stroke He reached away
] back for his water, made an easy catch
and the moment the blade entered th'
| water he tore through with great power
using his legs and back TO great advsn
itage. These points. joined to-a fine com
mand OF his slide and a smooth recovery
were the main features of Greers stroke

You know continued Jones laughing
the baseball bugs are an awful lot when
they are seated at a bail game They
forget. or else do not want TO remember,
that the players are human beings When
a man signs with a big league manager
he is practically working for the people.
They are the ones that praise or condemn
his work The salary player gets is not
all there is in it, for he has feelings and
anbitions-and there is a greater end
TO it
Professional baseball to-day is, con-
trolled by the crowds. The players per

BASEBALL FANS SHOW
PLAYERS NO SYMPATHY
Tad Jones, Greatest of College CatcherS, Tells
Why He Has Refused Tempting Offers.

Tending their place in the box score
against errors and endeavoring to get to
first without being scored a time at bat
Y have heard it said that it is all right
when you are great player-an idol with
the fans. But 7 want to say that that is
the worst position in which a ball player
can be placed When a man makes a
reputation as a hitter, the fans expect
him 70 make a hit every time one IS
needed.
They forget that perhaps the pitcher
opposing him gets twice as big a salary
as he is drawing just because he knows
how to keep the opposing players from
making hits when they would do damage:
they forget that every pitcher in the
league is laying for him and that good
strikes are seldom served 70 him.
There are many cases where the abuse
OF the players by the fans has its effect
on the men and the work Of teams Wag-
ner. champion batsman of the National
League. is an example Of where a grand
player, and an honest performer. I be-
lieve. can scarcely be persuaded 10 accept
a salary that he is allowed TO n1me him
self TO play ball because Of the treat
ment he is accorded by the patrons OF
the game.
Many other players lose their nerve
because Of being abused. and drop out
quickly Others are. ruined by beirg
roasted when they are just budding out
and are never heard Of again And al
because g player has to work for the
crowds instead Of the management thai
is paying him money. and is judged 81
sternly by people who probably only q
moment previous were singing his praises
