BILLIARD PLAY
 FOR SCHAEFER

Chicago. April &.-The prominent bil- Hard players of this country will unite tomorrow night in rendering a monster benefit to Jake Schaefer, 'the grand old man of billiards"
 Schaefer is i'll in Colorado and it is thought he will never recover.
 Instead of having a single benefit in New York or Chicago the billiardists of the United States have arranged simul- taneous entertainments to be given in every city of size in the country. Men in showing their appreciation of the vet eran. In some cities where it has been found unprofitable or impossible to stage exhibitions, the roomkeepers have yolun- ceipts to the Schaefer fund. Eleven rooms in this city will have exhibitions on to- morrow night.
 Rube Waddell of the St. Louis Amer jeans will meet Nick Altrock of the Chi cago Americans in pool game, while Bob by Wallace of the St. Louis Americans will clash with "Jiggs" Donohue of the local American leaguers for the billiard honors.
 George Sutton, Tom Foley, M. P. Muzzy, Tommy Hueston and many other promi- nent cue stars will take part in the local exhibitions. It Is expected several thou sand dollars will be added to the fund from Chicago as many souvenir tickets at g each have been sold here.

ENGLISH RACING
By RICHARD DAHLGREN.

London. April 24.-Harry Payne Whitney is setting the pace for the American race horse owners who came over here to show the British turf what our Yankee cousins could do in this line, and it Is a hot race, too. Nearly every day the young Amer ican turfman either adds a stake race to his list of winnings or if he doesn't win one of his horses is in the running. In Seacliff, Hillside. III, Oversight and the Broomstick Ally he has quartet of most useful race horses. It is practically cer- tain that he will figure high in the list of winning owners.
 James R. Keene and August Belmont have not been so fortunate up to this time. Their horses have not trained on as well as the Whitney strinb, but some of their best are rounding to now in fine shape, and they may be expected to win brackets in a little while.
 There is no doubt that the American horses here now are, so far as class is concerned, fully the equal of anything we have in England.
 Up to this time rather juicy odds have been laid against the American horses, to the joy and profit of the sporting section of the American colony, but even British conservatism Is being awakened to the class of the newcomers, and the layers are shortening the odds constantly.

the corners. One is then in position to turn to left or right to tag the runner, or to run into the diamond as the ball IS pitched, as the occasion may call for. 1t is very necessary that the man at first have a signal system with the pitcher and catcher, so that he will know just when to expect a throw and not be taken un- awares.
 It is very hard thing to recommend following any certain style in playing the position There are as many styles as there are men playing the position, and all have their strong and their weak points, Some favor playing close to the plate, others well back from the diamond; some believe in keeping on the base, when a thrown ball is coming, though the chances are 100 to 1 against their catching the ball if they do so, while others advo- cate playing the game safe, and stepping away from the base. if they think they are liable to miss the ball; some attempt to gather in all kinds of batted balls that there is any possibility of their reaching, while others do not attempt to capture hits that they think can be reached by any of the other players. All these vari- ous styles have been followed by the men who are enrolled on the historic pages Of baseball as star first basemen, and con- sequently 1t will be seen that it is no mean undertaking to advise one method and decry another.
 The best way for a beginner in the po- sition is to pick no one man for a model Let him see them all, study them and discover their strong points. Let him see how they do this and that, and then try to do the same himself. This means hard work and plenty of it, but In base ball, as in everything else, it is the hard worker who wins success. The ball player who always shirks, avoids practice whenever he can, and in general tries to take things easy, Is hurting no one more than himself. He may believe that he is obtaining some easy money but the effect of his idleness will soon begin to show, and he will quickly be informed that his services are no longer required. Success in anything means lots of good hard work and in baseball, the most strenuous of modern professionalism the game Is now a profession, and a great one-the shirker has no place. and the man who succeeds will be the one who has ambition and nerve, and will not be turned aside by misfortune.

THE FANS THOUGHT

From the Detroit Free Press. I've sat upon the bleachers,
 And I've prayed with hundreds more For a little, timely single
 That would net the winning score. I have watched the batter strike out And I've groaned with ardor damp; Oh, I wish the boys could hit 'em AS they do in training camp! l have watched them through the sum-
 mer,
 I have loudly shouted "Slidew To a player stealing second.
 And I fretted when he died" l have seen them habbed as nicely As a copper nabs tramp, And I've wished that they'd run bases As they do in training camp. For a home run hit is common,
 We've the correspondents word, When a man is passed on wide ones, He just romps around to third; Oh, there Is no doubt about it,
 Every player is a champ Till the game Is on in earnest
 And he's out of training camp.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-04-26

hrst-class man for his position
 The player on the initial sack should give as much attention to second, third and home as the other infielders give to first and should be ready at all times to take advantage of an opportunity that presents itself to pull off a play to any one of these positions. Many a close game can be saved by a quick throw to sec ond or third, which catches the base runner mapping because of it's very unex- pectedness. When attempting these plays the first baseman should have an under standing with the second baseman and the pitcher, so that first may not be left un- covered.
 As to style of mitt to be used, I would suggest a small, light affair, as it can be handled much more easily and ac- curately than one of the heavy ones. Much one-hand work of necessity falls to the lot of the first baesman, and the light glove is an invaluable asset so far as this end of his playing goes.
 Always reach out and meet a thrown ball with as great stretch as possible, remembering that every fraction of 9ocoiio Sodil9i eSH1Cldlly Ou tapS Very often a feet-footed runner beats out a ground ball and Is credited with a hit, all because the first baseman was too sure of the out, and did not get the ball as quickly as he might have. Meet the ball with hands well out from the body and then give back, and the hardest thrown balls will be comparatively easy to handle. If a man does not get in the habit of receiving all throws in this fashion, his hands will suffer and he will find himself On the injured list, a victim of the sore and bothersome bone bruise
 The most vital part of the work of a good first baseman is the knack of keep ing the foot on the base when the body is extended and in the most awkward position. Educate the toe to stay on the bag, at the same time getting the body in front of the ball, so that, if the hands miss the body will stop 1t.
 When an opponent is on the base, play just inside the bag with heels touching

HoD q StaY Perfo1mer Plays F1st Base
By FRED PENNEY, First Baseman New Nationals.

untii very few years ago the position of first base was considered the place for tall man, because of the great advan- tage his reach would give him in going after wild throws. Any man who could hit well and catch a thrown ball was con sidered star first baseman, even though he didn't possess the slightest agility in the field, and was no wonder when it came to using his head. All the managers wanted to get for the position was a man who could hit and hang onto a thrown ball.
 But Of late years things have changed, and the big heavy first basemen have, with few exceptions, been driven off the bag. Their places have been filled by smaller more active men, who are able to get around and put more speed into their work and whose playing has rev. olutionized the standards for filling the position. Plays are now of everyday oc- currence of which the big, husky, old timers never dreamed. Among them are the running in on bunts and making the force play at second, or third; going to- ward second to handle ground balls and $capturing short flies in the outfield In times gone by, such performances as a regular part of the work of the first saeker were unthought of, and the man who once in while might pull off one of these stunts was looked on as a sure marvel.
 The position is still about the easiest on the diamond to play-I mean ordinarily weIl-though one Gan make many diff ficult plays and do a lot of hard work if he tries to live up to the standard that has been set in the last few years. Some of the plays made by the first basemen of today require the greatest possible amount of accuracy, activity and nerve. It is the players who possess these quail ties in good share that are making a success of playing ball. The one who is afraid of attempting a play, though the chances against his making it success fully are great, cannot be considered a

SPORTING FORECAST.
What This Week Will Develop In the
 AtheItic World.

With the more professional sports under way for the spring and summer. the sea son of amateur sports and athletics in the open comes on apace this week with golf tournaments and college track meets at Philadelphia and Boston.
 The gohng season gives promise of breaking all records The entry list of the Lakewood tournament was remark ably representative territorialy. From now until the last of May all tourna- ments in the New York district are large ly preparatory to the metropolitan cham pionship at Apawamis. Atlantic City will have it's usual springs tournament the last three days of this week The Gar den City tournament will be next week. The, results will give trustworthy line on the metropolitan field for the cham pionship title struggle three weeks later.
 The declaration of Jim Jeffres that he will fight again has cleared the pugi- listc atmosphere so far as the heavy weight championship is concerned. This week Sam Langford will clash with Sandy Ferguson in Boston after which Fergu- son will depart for England to arrange matches there. Langford is matched to box Ian Hague, heavyweight champion of England. May 24
 Should he knock out Hague mill will undoubtedly be arranged for him with Joe Jeannette, the negro heavyweight who recently defeated Sam McVey in Paris. Jack Johnson, who will sail for England on May 23. has said that he is ready to take on Jeannette in England.

MAJOR CHATTER
By MANHATTAN.

New York. April 2.-The most, signif- cant feature of the baseball season so far as it has developed Is the big compar- ative improvement in the second division teams of the National league.
 Not one of last seasons four leaders came through the first series with clean scores. St. Louis showed the Cubs they could play not only good ball, but winning ball; Brooklyn taught the same lesson to the Giants; Cincinnati to the Pirates, and Boston to the Philies. Think of a per- centage table showing Boston in the lead Cincinnati second and with Pittsburg and Philadelphia as tail-enders.
 Of course, It Is impossible to form any general idea as to how the teams will wind up from the few games so far played, but it does look as though there would be more even race in the Ma tional league this year than there has been for a long tfme
 After watching the play of the Giants am convinced that, despite the loss of Donlin and Bresnahan, McGraw has stronger and more consistently playing team this year than he had last. In the box he Is away ahead. I doubt if there Is in either league as effective a pitching staff as the Giants have in Mathewson, Wiltse. Ames, Marquard, Crandal and Weiner. The loss of Bresnahan weakens the team, but Schlei Is showing up well. and that big Indian Myers I am inclined to believe will do things before the sea- son is over.
 In the outfield, even with Donln out. Herzog, OHara and Murray are a better fielding and a more consistent run-getting combination than McGraw had last year. The infield is the same.

FIGHT GOSSIP
By JEFF THOMPSON.

New York April 25.-Can Stanley Ketchel beat Jack Johnson? That is go- ing to be the dominant question in pugillstic circles until next fall, and it Is no easy question to answer.
 If Willus Britt Is correct in his as- sumption that the cowboy can go into the ring perfectly fit and weighing 18O pounds. I am inclined to believe he will beat Johnson. If the fight were to be 45 rounds or to finish l would string along on Ketchel for all I cared to risk on the battle, but a 20-round bout is a different proposition.
 That Johnson is clever admits of no doubt, and for a hard-hitting little man to put out a clever, stalling big man in 20 rounds is a task which I fear is be- yond the power of Ketchel.
 If l had to make bet on the bout now l should be willing to give al least evens that 1t would go the limit, and that it would be a draw or that John son would get the decision ou points.
 Johnson is wise in making this a 20-round go, from commercial stand point. With a win on points or even draw with Ketche still leaves him champion and in a position to dictate terms to Kaufman and Langford. or to negotiate with Jeffries on even terms. He realizes, too, that his first beating means his end in the big money making division of the fighting game. I have no particular use for Johnson I never did think he was of champion caliber, and I should like to see Ketchel beat him. But to be perfectly fair I do not think he deserves the knocks l, oh hain hop lad h
 Men are not fighting for the love of it, and under the peculiar circumstances of the ca SC the negro is entitled to deal the cards so that he can get the most of the game.
 He says he is willing to take on eith- CT Kaufman or Blackburn for a six or 10-round go before the Ketch el fight A bout of this kind would be simply a good training stunt for the champion. A bout second only in importance to the Johnson Ketche go is that for which Bat Nelson and Packey McFar- land have been signed. They are to battle before Jimmy Coffroths club on July 5, and they are to go 45 rounds On form the Dane should win without great deal of trouble.
 The only possibility of the battle be- ing called off is in case Nelson is de- feated by Hylend the latter part of next month. It Is doubtful if Conroth would cancel the match even then, as the bout promises to be one of the greatest drawing cards of recent years in this country
 "The bout will draw about $3O,OOO, said Coffroth, after the go had been arranged This is the one fight that have been anxious to arrange since Cans went down to defeat before Nell son. I think that 1t will attract more interest than any battle held in this country since Cans and Nelson fought at Goldfeld.'
