BASEBALL RACING

HEELING that his arm needs good
rest, Pitcher Koestner, one of the
u best of the Angel twirlers, will
leave for San Jacinto Hot Springs to-
day to take a several weeks layoff in
an effort to round into shape. Last
year Koestner was the sensation of the
coast pitching department He began
we'll this year, but in the last two
months has had considerable trouble
with his heaving member. This costly
limb will be tenderly cared for in the
next month in the hope that he may
recover in time to enter the final fight
and pitch the Angels toward the PEN
nant. Koestner is still regarded as a
wonderful pitcher and as soon as his
streak of bad luck with the arm is
over he will be worth all that Berry
paid for him, and a whole lot more.
Dave Rennie. the fighter and lacrosse
expert, who lost to Mike Kutchos at
Maud Junction, is exceedingly anxious
to get another crack at the tough little
Greek. He wants to show the fans
that he is Kutchos' master and says
that with proper and sufficient training
he will put Kutchos away in ten
rounds. A tough contract, but if you
can do it, Davie, you will command
fancy prices at the Maud show. None
of the youngsters hereabouts have yet
been able to stow away the Greek,
though his style of fighting is anything
but popular. Rennie also is willing to
meet Danny Webster and will give
Danny a side bet of $l00 that he will
beat him If Webster will make the
same weight arranged for the bout
with Kutchos next Friday night
namely, lie at 8 o'clock.
The recent agitation among English
sporting papers, and the discussion in
continental and American papers over
the decadence of English sports has
moved Lord Lonsdale, than whom no
man in Europe is better qualified to
speak, TO grant an interview in a Lon
don sporting paper, in which he said
THE sporting spirit is still strong in
Englishmen, bat the education of that
spirit is wrong. There is a want OF
energy about the young man of today.
They lead too soft a life.
with regard to polo, l have always
maintained there should be some limit
to the value of the ponies employed
Take the recent match which the
Americans won. They came over here
knowing where the best ponies were
TO be bought-and they bought them.
l should not be surprised II some of
those ponies cost at least $4,000 each.
Certainly the American team was very
fine. In the two Waterburys they
had two remarkably fine hitters. And
given the finest players and the finest
ponies. the result is inevitable. I have
said that polo would kill itself by the
sheer rushing up of the price of ponies.
Our English polo player can seldom
afford to buy such high priced horse
flesh.
Il do not think that anything like a

general rot has set In sporting Eng
land. One great trouble Is that our
boys go in far too many sports in
general and do not make speciality
of any particular branch of the sport.
l would lick to see everybody who loves
sport take a more active interest in
the games which he fancies most, and
not try to excel in half dozen, with
the result that they fail in all. As
the saying goes, they are ack-ot-all-
trades and master of none.
"The cricket test mach, for instance,
regard in the nature of an accident,
for Jessop, who is one of the finest
specimens of what a cricketer should
be, was put out of the game by a
sprained ankle. But in cricket, as in
boxing. or rowing, or running, or any
other sport, where are the young men
We have the material. but 1t must be
developed, and developed quick. if we
are to retain our hold in the first rank
of sportship."
Johnny Evers, the nimble-footed Troy
shoe merchant, is without doubt the
brainiest baseball player in the game
Even the old-time fans who remembei
the late Mike Kelly when the king
was pulling off something new con-
stantly, admit that EVers has shown
ability far beyond any of tht present
day players. says a New Yorker.
The latest proof that EVers keeps
his thinking machine Mt work eNery
minute while on the ball field happened
at the Polo grounds, New York playing
Chicago.
Johnny was on third base and at
tempted to score on ball that was M
10 Wiltse, who was pitching for tht
Giants Finding himself caught, EVerS
started his mental machinery at full
speed fooled Wiltse by waiting and
then jumping away quickly, drawing a
wild throw which let in two runs and
lost the game for the Giants. Later IN
the game Evers, by hiding the ball,
caught Josh De Wore mapping off first
and choked off New York rally.
Polo ground patrons also remember
Evers with vividness when they think
of the Merkle play last September and
which lost the National league cham
pionship for New York. The little sec
ond baseman saw the fatal failure OF
Merkle to touch the base and put the
play through which resulted in the New
York runner being called out and thus
failed to score the supposed winning
run.
Early last season Evers had daZzled
the New Workers with another quick
think during a game at Chicago. Doyle
ndQ nit SdIely anu was 'ii ms :.
next batsman also lined out safe hit
over Evers' head. Evers, realizing that
Doyle was watching the ball, made a
bluff as though the hit would be turned
into a fly catch. though the ball was
three feet over the second baseman'
head. As a result of the stall Doyle
failed to run to second and the Chicago
outfeld had plenty of time TO whisk
the ball into second base, forcing Doyle
and ending what seemed to be Win
ming rally by New York.
