VETERAN PLAYERS
COACHING TEAMS
Quartet of Former Baseball
Stars Helping to Train
Young Players.
GLEASON HAS STEADY JOB
Ex-CAPTAiN OF PHIIllES EN-.
PLOYEO FOR SEASONS COACH
JIM MCGUIRE AND DUKE FAR
REll At 1T.

Veteran baseball players who have
retired from active work on the dia.
mond and who have proved their abil-
ity to handle promising youngsters to
the major league ranks are being sign
ed each year by the enterprising man
ayers of the big league teams as spe.
cial coaches for the young players un-
der trial.
Last year Manager Murray OF the
Phillies inaugurated the innovation by
appointing ex-Captain Kid Gleason as
assistant manager or special coach for
the Phillies, and so successful did the
plan prove that this season three other
major league clubs signed veteran
catchers to coach the young twirlers,
and Manager McGraw went a step
further by signing Arlfe Latham to
coach the team during the game. This
is not Latham's first job Of this kind,
however, as he held the same kind of
position with Cincinnati some years
ago.
Kid Gleason. Charles c'Duke'D Far
rell, Jim Mcclure and Wilbert Robin.
son are the four who hold positions as
special coaches for the players.
In selecting the promising material
and picking out the men who are
worth carrying on the regular pay roll
1t is the wisdom Of the veteran player
that shows itself. and this is where
veteran players like Gleason, Farrell,
Robinson and MCGUIRE come into play.
When the team goes south for its
spring practice the young players need
to be watched. Ambition to show UP
in good shape before the manager with
the hope Of landing a permanent place
on the team often causes the young
player to injure himself, so that he is
of little use to the club for several
weeks. and this means heavy ex-
pense to the club and probably the
loss Of a job to the player.
With trained man in each camp to
watch over the overanxious players.
the chance Of having the hospital list
full all the time is greatly lessened.
Gleason's work is not only In the
spring, however, for the Kid holds II
down all season, and the veteran

Baseball Candidates This
Year the Best Material
In History.
PITCHER WHITE IN FORM
QUAkERs HAVE A HEAVY ScHEp-
ULE THIS YEAR AND LOOK FOR
GOOD REcoRD-cosLENTz IS A
FIND.

That Earlham will have the fastest
base ball team in the field this year is
practically assured. Coach Vail an.
nounced this morning that the largest
number of candidates that have ever
reported are turning out each evening
for light practice work although the
regular practice will not start until
next week when all the students have
arrived who expect to enter the ring
for positions. At the present time
there are about thirty men out and as
far as the throwing department is con.
cerned there Is plenty of fine material.
The batting department has not been
given test, but it is judged that this
will be stronger than the team of last
year. Coach Vail expects to have a
hard hitting outfield who will come in
as pinch hitters.
The schedule that has been arrang.
ed by Coach Vail and the managers,
both student and faculty, is one of the
hardest that any Earlham team has
had to fight out. There will be about
six home dates while four will be in
other fields. Butler, Wabash, Purdue,
DePauw, Wittenburg, are among those
of the team that will meet the Quak-
ers on Reid field.
White 10 in Form.
White, the famous Quaker twirler of
last season, is again with the Quakers
and is showing up in better form than
last year when he held the fast Pur.
due team to the low score of to 1.
The latest find of the Quakers is Co
blentz of New Madison, who will Off
ciate between second and third. HE
has had several years experience and
is expected to add great strength to
the Quakers. His opponent for the po-
sition of short-stop is Frank Elliott who
made quite record with the high
school team several years ago. In
these two men Earlham should be able
to have a strong man at this position

Kuchs, q postoffice clerk. Bishop
Burke identified two letters offered in
evidence and signed by Pembroke as
having been received by him. They
were dated Cameron, Mo-, September
8 and 8. 1908.
One demanded that the bishop for
ward to Pembroke Immediately $40
600 under penalty Of having published
certain things which he said would be
very derogatory to the bishop.
Charges Made.
In the other, $4,000 in all was de-
manded and similar threat made.
Among other things, the bishop was
accused of having obtained q valuable
farm In Nodaway county by fraud.
The bishopsrecited the origin of his
trouble with Pembroke, who for many
years was in charge of st. Patrick
parish at Marysville, Mo.
He said that as a result of quar-.
rel between Pembroke and Frank W.
Griffin. editor of. the Marysville news
paper, whoAwas shot and killed in 1898
by G. j., Jesse, the usefulness of the
church atelfarJsville had been greatly
impaired. and thatsthe parish. had de.
faultedSin payment of sbeauest OF ST.
600 which had been made to the do
cese at the-deafh ~of a parisioner.
He went tosMarysville and announc-
ed that Pembroke would be transfer
red and he sent the priest to Milan
Mo-, where Pembroke refused to serve
Later Pembroke went to Colorado
City. Colo, and held a charge, but
finally he returned to Cameron, Mo.
where the bishop refused to recognize
him.
During all this time the bishop said
he had been hearing of reports circu-
lated blythe priest, and then came the
demand for $4,000.
Many Of the charges made against
Bishop Burke in the letters offered in
evidence are unprintable. Many Of
lenses are mentioned.

Pembroke guilty. and he was sentenc.
ID to serve SIX months in the county

ARE TO BE LEAsED-AN IDEAL
LOCATION.

Prospects are that the city will
have tennis association this season
that will be one of the largest and
strongest in the state. At present
there are about fifty prospective mem
bers and the indications are that fully
this number will become identified
with the organization. Lots at the
corner of Twenty-second and South
A streets are to be leased. They will
be graded and courts of regulation
size laid off. 1t is believed the place
can be made ideal for the purpose
and there is reason to believe there
will be more interest shown in this
sport locally this summer than ever
before.
Number Of Players.
The icty has large number of
mediocre and several first class play
ers. There is enough OF the latter to
coach the others and develop them,
SO that the first class aggregation
will not be SO limited in number A
meeting of those interested was held
last evening, and it was decided to go
ahead with the work. Membership
is to be solicited. The expense of
fitting up the courts will not be very
great. The ground will have to be
prepared and screens erected. The
members expect to do good part of
this work themselves in order to econ
omize.
Sport Would Boom.
Within the last two years. a num-

Use of developing beyond the mediocre
have been in the game. The public
playground has been the only place
for contests and these courts could
not be obtained for general use until
after school was dismissed in June.
Even under this handicap the players
went ahead and learned the elemen-
tary principles of the game With
courts of their own, open to them
whenever they want them, there is no
reason why the game should not be
doomed by the members of the new
association the coming season.
