 Ferguson has been training for two Lean. the bicycle racing promoter of Boston. who has taken the big Chelsea giant under his management purely as business proposition. He has suo- ceeded in re-establishing the discred- ited heavyweight. and now the Boston fight fans are taking Sandy seriously
 Ferguson is a wonderful fighter when he Is in condition and although he has drank enough in his time to stock a good sized distillery. Mclean has sue ceeded in making him consider his fighting ability and think what 1t means to him In a financial way to get battle with Johnson.
 The big fellow thinks he can beat Johnson with ease. and Is going to France to fight Sam McVey and all corners in the hope that he can force Johnson to meet him for the title in a few months.
 Sandy has everything fighter needs He Is clever and a terrific hitter and I think he Is game. He Is not afraid of Johnson, and think the big black has a great deal of respect for him, as was shown when they met in this city when Johnson was afraid to mix 1t ur with him. and disgusting bout re- suited. Ferguson Is in every way 2 bigger man than the champion, and think with the proper preparation will be the man to take big Jacks measure

SANDY FERGUSON
 MAY TURN THE TRICK

By William T. Nolan.
 We have heard considerable talk about Jeffries' intention of again en- tering the ring and challenging Jack Johnson for the title. but according to some of the best informed men in the country and no less an authority than Mike Murphy, the well-known trainer of the University of Pennsylvania, there is small prospect of the retired ton that would warrant him in engag- ing in a contest of lengthy duration.
 Who. then, Is there with class enough to oppose the man who now holds the heavyweight title. Jack Johnson?
 Many are inclined to the opinion tha Johnson Is Stanley Ketchel, who is talk ing on weight every day. But what of the man who proves such a thorn in Ketchers side, Sam Langford?
 The latter boxer seems to have the Indian sign on all of them. for nearly being in the dangerous class. Many critics think that Langford Is one of the most feared boxers in the country today. and I cannot see why he has not as much license! to call Johnson as Ketchel has. and more so when 1t Is re- called that the latter refuses to meet the black wonder.
 Iangford Is being touted as a wonder and as the opportunity presents itself tomorrow night to see this fallow in action. local lovers of the game can judge for themselves to what class Langford belongs.
 Why Not Fergusonf
 If Sandy Ferguson does not start drinking again. which do not. ex- pect under his present manager, I think we will not have to look further than Boston for white man to defeat Jack

yesterday afternoon. The sensation of the afternoon was the third base work of Debalt, who knocked down hot ones and shot the ball across the diamond just as If he had been playing the bag all his life. If his work on the hill Is as good as his fielding he will be the goods
 Krebs and Lively were biting to the Stickney and Whiteman getting all bf the work out in the lots that they were looking for. Whitey Gqese was hit, ting to the infield with Hub Hart and to bases. With the exception of Ma hush, the infield was in place and how they did work. Debalt made great substitute third baseman, and Joe Pope through the stiffest kind of game. Rockenfield showed up with even more ginger than he had at the end of the season last year, showing Just show work of the past winter has done him. An interesting time Greminger had on first. He did more jumping in the air yesterday than he has done since last September for naturally, good many of the throws that came his way were bit erratic.
 Today and tomorrow Greminger will have them hitting and running them out. and al the same time will give his pitchers a chance to loosen their arms, for if this weather holds. 1t will be nice and warm with no danger Of de- veloping the thing most dreaded by ball pIayers-sore wings.
 By the way, Greminger signed an- other pitcher yesterday morning. Bridges. who worked In the Tri-State League last year. with Reading. win ming nine and losing nine of the eigh- teen games that he pitched. being the man.

Washington Counts Upon ike
 Brains Of Old Mike kahoe
aalSM@~i

It looks like the backstop depart ment for the Washington team this year will be Mike Kahoe. the hard-hit- ting catcher, that was 8 favorite with Montgomery some fifteen years ago. Charlie Street. the Huntsville boy, and Cliff Blankenship: the latter wintered over in Macon and spent one Sunday in Montgomery en route to join his team in Washington. Mike. however, seems to be the big noise with Cantil- in reading the following from a Wash ington Times special from Galveston:
 While the newspapers are talk ing about the New York Nationals hiring twirlers and give McGraw line on his slabmen; while Jim McGuire Is be- ing employed for the same purpose by Cleveland. and various other ancient players retired from fast company are drawing money for their baseball ex- perience. let us not forget that Wash . ington is right along with the others in this latest fashion.
 Washington's grand old man and vet eran wise guy IS Mike kahoe. MIX e has been playing baseball ever since a foul was out on a bounce. and there are better eye for pitching talent. He has the advantage over McGuire, Robinson and others in that he is still in the game as major league material. not and general utility man. There is mo- body shrewder than Mike at telling what pitchers prospects for the day are, and he is old enough not to let his enthusiasm or his prejudice run away with his judgment.
 Kahoe's experience and brains will be responsible for the snunting of Bill Rapp to Minneapolis for this season. Manager Cantillon is greatly pleased with Rapps work and Is not going to let Bill slip through his fingers. but he has two young catchers in Blankenship and Street, and they, with kahoe are all he can afford to carry.
 Speaking of kahoe. Cantillon said:
 That oId-timer Is a big help to me, and for the present 1 have changed my plans for sending him to Minneapolis. Nobody but catcher can size up a pitcher In preliminary practice. and kahoe's ability in that line is marked. defunct stars to help in their spring work, It is a comfort to me to remem- | Der that l have in Kahoe one who Is by no means dead one. but Is still capable of turning a winning trick in 8 major league game.

NEW DELIVERIES
 COME WITH EACH SPRING

Hamilton in New Orleans Item.
 There Is no end to the discovery of wierd baseball deliveries and this than its share. Most of these discov- cries are not made by pitchers, of course. but in the fertile brains of en- thusiastic scribes.
 thought that staid old Tom Fisher, one of the old maids of the Southern League, should invent new fling in Taylor, of The Atlanta Journal. says he has done.
 Toms new ball is called the 'Mer- ry Widow Sid Smith, who catches all the secrets of this deceptive inven- ton. The ball starts straight to the plate. and then shoots out, making circle ci,1 just about the size of a Merry
 Some people may believe that. but I don't. Merry Widow hats may not be the same size the world over, but I'd bet my overcoat Tom Fisher, nor no the Merry Widows that take up all the room on New Orleans street cars.
 Just the same, Fisher thinks he will bs sHe Sid s smth SasSfs' ssys it '@ s highy R eE fective and extremely artistic"
 To throw the Merry Widow" Fish CT holds the ball between the second with the first and second fingers. That sends 1t out as tough it was not going to defect In the slightest. but there's where 1t fools you.
 Charlie Fritz has an even better ball than that. which he will spring on the Southern League hatsmen this season. He claims that 1t will outdistance all the Merry Widows, knuckle. flnger-nail and saliva balls that man ever Invent ed.
 Fritz thinks he has such a great and wonderful secret that he won't di- inquiries he feifs them that he is all ambitious young man and he doesn't like to give his stock in trade away.
 Charlie produces the sensation part of his new ball with the. aid of his thumb and little finger. He lets 1t go with 8 jerk that sends 1t leisurely float ing along something after the fashion of the fade-away ball and not very diff ferent from the spit ball.
 She Is an inoffensive little thing un- til she reaches within a foot and . half of the plate Then she begins to wiggle, cutting mp all sorts of crazy capers. In fact while the batsmai stands bewildered the ball does a queer sort of an Oriental dance right before his eyes.
 Charlie calls 1t the "salome" ball.

His last-minute tips have had much to do with the sudden changes in my batteries which h have have have expected to work somebody like Hughes or Johnson in whom had full confidence, only to have Mike tell me day. while some other fellow was sh moving all sorts of form. As it is his place to know just tn ose things l have accepted his verdict and often work ed men whom l originally had no inten- tiop of using"
 Jerry FReeman's performance on first this year will be interesting. No team who has shown shown such improve- ment In his fielding in one year as did Freeman in 1908. This was a tribute to Cantillon's acumen in sizing up ball players. for in the spring exhibition games and in the first third or nalf of the regular season 1t must be said that Freeman was several miles off color used to become as hopelessly involved as pied galley of Scotch dialect story. and he gave the impression of being all feet and thumbs. He gradu- end of the season was fully up to the major league standard in his covering of the bag. He also hit better than ex- ps1ted despite o1,,ot one or swe eoa severe cellent- In fact. although the present scheme is to have Unglaub on first and Conroy on third. 1t Is hard to see how man like Freeman is to be kept on the bench.
 Jim Delehanty cut into big-stick so- ciety last season with a batting aver age that led the Washington team. and. for a while. put him among the pre- mier sluggers of the American League. In looking over Delehanty's record 1t should be remembered that every club in the league used it's left-handers against Washington on all possible oc- casions. the clubs hitting being a mere farce. as a rule. against a southpaw. Delehanty Is a right-handed hitter and this constant procession of port-side fingers before his eyes was enough to fill his heart and batting average with joy. This year Washington will have from four to seven right-hand hitters in every game and the policy of inces- sanity using southpaws against the club will not be wise or successful, hence. Delehanty will face far more right-hand pitchers in 1909 than he did In 1908. That being the case, will he bat as well this year as last! It is something for the fans and Delehanty to think about.

MAPS ARE AFTER
 WASHINGTON BUNCH

There is one team that the Cleve- flanders will work hard to give set back if possible this season, and that will be Joe Cantillon's men, says
 The Clevelanders cannot forget that last series in Washington when the That was the series that put the Maps out of the running Then. to nave the same team come to Cleveland and take the first two games and allow the Naps to (, after Tom Hughes and Addie Joss had been knock ed out of the box. was almost adding insult to injury.
 The players were discussing the the one to spring the subject when he said: Tt almost makes one sick to think that if we had only won one of would have won the pennant.
 That was hoodoo town for us, re- marke Joss but had we taken the first game in Washington, we would have taken at least three out of four, and had we won the first one in Cleve- land, we would have taken that series.
 That first game Is the one we want the others will take care of them selves. That Is why l am more than pleased with Young on the Cleveland payroll. He has something on Wash game from him in two years. If he is as successful against Washington while with Cleveland we'll we shall have something on Cantillon's men, and they will not be the hoodoos to keep us out of the running.
 With Young going good. and the rest of us able to get an even break l do think we have the best chance of any club in the American League to land the bunting"
 Practically all of the bal llplayers have been breaking in new gloves on this trip, so that they will be softened and
