ONE ERROR AND
MAN IS FIRED

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March 24.-It
doesn't take them long down here TO
pass on the merits Of the poor unfor-
Inmates who come to the Texas State
league 10 take their first whirl in pro-
fessional baseball. There are so
many of them that only a scant try-out
can be accorded the majority and
often good men-as they afterward
demonstrate themselves to be-are
sent back to their homes, discarded
after one or two games.
The San Antonio club, like all the
other teams of the league, Is trying
out a bunch OF new material. In one
of the games with the Tigers a young
man named Field appeared In right.
He handled himself very nicely, stood
up to the plate well, got a hit al a
time when IL counted and seemed to
be getting away very nicely until, at a
critical moment Of the game, after the
San Antonio infield had gone into the
air, with the bases full batter hit
one at Field which he muffed, cuffed
and finally heaved wildly to the plate
in an endeavor to catch Ty Cobb scor-
ing from second.
1t was Fields first and last game In
the Texas league. That night the San
Antonio manager handed him his walk
ing papers. Field comes from some
town In southern Illinois. He had
known Ralph Works Of the Tigers
and borrowed the money from Ralph
to use In the purchase OF the neces-
sary transportation homeward.

Antid0te5 for badness
Iiiys' lad This Spring
BY PAUL n. BRUSkE.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March "a
There is no longer any question about
IL; the spring fad with which the Tig
ers feature each training season Is
this year surely the crusade against
badness.
Mention has been made from time
to time OF the shaving of heads which
has been going on under the auspices
of Wahoo Sam Crawford, the only bar
ber-ball player in the big leagues
But this is only part of the system in
vogue in the Tiger camp, among those
players who fear they are about to
lose part of their skull-covers.
Every morning at the bath house
somebody produces bottle OF mango.
cure highly recommended by Mr.
Crawford, and there is a general an
nointing OF conks. Those who choose
can also rub a dose OF crude petro-
leum where the roots are thin.
At the park most Of the men prac-
tice college-boy style with their caps
of, Crawford being authority for the
statement that hats are to blame for
all badness. AS might have been
predicted this experiment resulted in
some cases of sunburn where sunburn
never existed before. Davy Jones'
shiny pate blushed rosy red imme-
diately and called for annointment
with cold cream. NOISY" Becken-
DORIS bean burned like Jones once,
and then burned again. the result be-
ing series OF cracks in the epidermis
which makes the catcher's head very
reminiscent of alligator hide in gen.
eral appearance.
Opinions differ as to the length OF
time required for the return Of
growth of hair worth mentioning. Sew
eral OF the men are beginning to
worry, fearing they will never grow
enough more to warrant visit to
the barber shop. These are buoyed
up by Mr.. Crawford, however, who is.
of course. regarded es an eminent au-
thority on such matters, although one
of the patients himself.

J. TINKER HANDS
IT To DONOvA:

wild Bill Donovan Is the only
pitcher | ever faced who actually had,
such speed that l couldn't see the
ball." says Joe Tinker. Il had the
good fortune to get to Donovan for a
home run In the second game of the
last worlds series. 1t happened In the
eighth inning, and until then no run
had been made by either side. Twice
before l had been to bat, striking out
the first time and hitting groundr
to second on the other occasion.
But let me state that neither time
did | get a good look at the ball. When
hit the homer think Wild Bill had
weakened.
II have seen teams shut out for nine
innings without hit, but know the
pitchers who turned those tricks had
no such speed and curves as Donovan
had that day. | think he worked too
fast He never rested a second. AS
quick as the catcher tossed the ball
back to him he sailed 1t across the
pan again.
"Mathewson and Ed Walsh, McIn-
tyre and Cy Young are all wonders.

was in possession of the wonderful
foolers that wild Bill showed us for
seven innings In the second game OF

Un(e Sam Took q Year 10
find f1o5t Famous Athlete

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, March
24.-It took Uncle Sam just
whole year TO locate the where
abouts OF his most famous ath'
lete. and this in spite of the
fact that the public prints or
every city in the broad land
were proclalming daily the
deeds OF this same young man
and his daily whereabouts.
While Ty Cobb was in De-
troit a year ago, comforting with
President Navin over his salary
difficulty. his wife-to-be. from
her home IN Georgia wrote IT,
a long love-letter, addressed to
the Hotel Pontchartrain, but
without the distinguishing DE
troit."
The letter began series of
travels which carried II 10 num-
erous locations and finally the
dead-letter office. All this time
Ty was starring on the diamond
but the postal officials apparent
~ hadn't heard OF It. In the
meantime, Ty and the writer OF
the letter were married.
But finally some good base
ball fan in the postal service
must have run across the
epistle. At any rate, when Ty
arrived here, there was some
mail awaiting him. Among the
letters was the one that Miss
Lombard had written Tyrus be-
fore she became Mrs. Cobb.

HOW HUGHIE KEEPS TIGERS ALWAYS
SCRAPPING, EVEN IN EASY GAMES

the Tigers themselves should keep on
their toes. The infield is Just as much
OF a croaking fros-pond as in the reg
ular season. From center field big
Sam bellows away at the catcher and
pitcher, to the delight Of the assem-
bled natives. When Heine Beckendorf
is In the game he Is the noisiest Of
the bunch, as evidence that his
Scranton sobriquet was we'll earned.
The Tigers never try To make the
game close. They never rest on a
safe lead. If THEIR OPPONENTS
ARE SO WEAK THAT. TO PLAY
OUT THE STRING WILL MEAN A
TERRIFIC SLAUGHTER. THEY GO
AHEAD AND REVEL IN GORE. In
such cases Hughie Jennings has to
amuse the crowd as best he can and
keep them cheered up. There Is no
mercy In the Tiger program.
On the other hand, these tactics
eliminate factor which Is often far
worse than bad beating for the home
talent
The Tigers are never acting as II
their opponents were beneath their
notice.

players OF the club a promise that, II
they keep up their enthusiasm through
the training schedule, the receipts
from the exhibition games played la
ter on In the season will be turned
over TO thcm In entirety, after the
payment Of the expenses incurred In
making the jumps.
This In itself amounts TO a consid-
cradle sum and the Tigers are tickled
to death at the chance of dragging
down that much extra money. The
prospect of this Is what assists Man
ager Hughie In keeping his men NOV
ing at top clip down south. where the
competition alone contains nothing OF
the element of inspiration.
Incidentally Jennings has just re.
newed his annual offer TO the Tigers
OF new suits OF clothes all round, on
condition they repeat in the pennant-

each OF the men a personal check for
$50, to be spent for a Tuxedo. Ross
man was the only player who spent
the money for the purpose. Most Of
the others had regulation suits built

ATTELL SHOWS OLD-TIME
FORM AGAINST F. NEIL
By ALEC SULLIVAN.

NEW YORK. March 24.-In the
bloodiest and most sensational fight
seen around New York In years, Abe
Attell defeated frankie Neil at the
Bedford A. c.. of Queens county, last
night. They fought straight Marquis
OF Queensberry rules and Charley
White refereed.
When the battle ended both Neil
and his fellow townsman from Frisco
were covered from head to foot with
blood. However, the gore that Abe
had on him came from mixing up with
Neil, whose nose bled freely through
out the fight.
Neil put up one OF the gamest ex-
hibitions ever seen in this part OF the
country. Judging by their compare
tive work In the first round 1t was
thought that Neil would not be able to
weather five rounds. but just when II
was believed he would collapse, he
would let shoot his powerful left and
send Attells head back.
