nual winter story.
Tommy Leach, who is being men
toned prominently as the manager for
the Cincinnati team next year. puts in
the winter in Cleveland. Leach runs
billiard and pool room here and his
place of business is one of the most
popular in the city. Pittsburg fans
are up in arms over the rumored

management of the team will refuse to
part with him. Fred Clarke is the

Clark is said to be as good a farmer as

Baseball has taken a prominent
place in college athletics. and the rival
ry between the ball teams of the diff
ferent colleges is almost equal to the
football feeling. In order to make their
ball teams all the better a number of
the colleges employ a professional ball
player to coach the teams. He re-
ceives a fat salary for 'the same and
an opportunity to enter the college if
he so desires. Hughey Jennings while
COdcnlnS lhe cornell team took the law
course and was graduated from Cornell
several years ago. Quite a few ball
players are already instrUcting the diff
ferent college teams. Billy Lush, the
former Cleveland player, is at Yale.
His salary is such good one that he
has given UP the professional end of
the game entirely. He looks after both
the baseball and basketball candidates.
There are a number of dentists and
doctors in the profession, also few
lawyers. The playing of baseball has
made it possible for a number of men
10 take up different professions. A
number of players are now attending
colleges during the winter, made pOssi-
BILE by their savings from the baseball
salary during the summer. They had
cherished the idea before, but lack of
finances had prevented them from car
rying out their desires.
These are but few examples of the
different big league players who make
things hum during the winter In the
days of old the ball player did moth
ing but loaf. but it's different now.

FOR AUTO RACE
Endurance Contest From New
YORK 10 Paris Is to Come
Through Salt Lake.

w L. Whitman, the transcontinental
autoist of Pasadena, has outlined the
route from New York to San Francisco
for the Gotham to Paris race, and he
has been asked to pilot the motorists
across the continent
The long race will be started from
the Times building in New York, Feb.

date changed to June or July as the
summer will find the roads in much
better shape to make such a long Jour-
ney. He has made four trips across
the country himself The best record
so far is 10 days and . hours, but Whit
man believes the time can be cut down
by going over the course which he will
prescribe.
After guiding the automobilists to
Chicago, the leader would take them
through Geneva. Dekalb. Dixon, Cedar
Rapids, Marshalltown and Amos TO
Omaha. Then through Kansas City.
Grand Island, North Platte, Julesburg,
Cheyenne, Sherman, Laramie. Rawlins
and Evanston. Thence the route would
be through ogden. Salt Lake, Montello,
Reno, Los Angeles and then to San
Francisco.
Mayor Mcclellan of New York has
consented to start the motorists on
their long journey, and will be assisted
by Baron Rosen of the Russian en-
bassy. The foreign contestants will
arrive in this country early in Febru-
airy, the cars having been shipped
ahead Of them. There will be eight en-
tries from abroad. France, Italy, Aus
tria and Germany will be represented

What do the big league players do
during the winter?
For six months the ball player is
prominently before the public. His
performances, good or bad, are ex-
plotted in the paper every day. and his
name is a byword with every baseball
fan throughout the country His pc

April and ends the first week in DC

Few of the big league players live

as soon as the final game is over most
of them hike to their winter homes.
and quite a few dwell in the smaller
cities. Many of the players lead
quiet life and do little or nothing that
interests the baseball fan. Conse-
quently the doings of number of the

FAST RACES FOR

all record breaking at its mercy, as

These records were made i'm January

two miles are to the credit Of the gas
oline power machine, and il is quite
possible that some of the drovers may
upset some of the records above two
miles and up TO 100 and will establish
new records for the world above 100
