"Has BeenS" 0f
 fhe Diamond

When a ball player Is batting like hend, running bases in grand style and fielding his position as a ball player should, and when the enthusiastic but nevertheless fickle followers of the na- tional pastime are crowding through the turnstiles to watch him perform. then it Is when said player has reached the zenith of his career and then 1t Ia when the club owner pats him on the back and says, Fine work, old man.
 But years after. sometimes not so long. when this same player, who sea sons before was probably the idol of the fans. shows signs of deteriorating; when his muscles are beginning to weaken and his speed is gradually de- Creasing the club owner, instead Of batting him on the back like in thu days of old, looks about him, generally to some minor league, in hopes of dis posing of him or to trade for younger man. who can in turn claim the atten tiun of the fioille public.
 It IS too had, but it simply has to he done" remarked a certain club oWn CT, discussing the subject recently. Il would like to keep all of the old-tim CTS, especially the ones who were loyal and did their best while in their prime. But what are we to do when the public demands the young man with speed and confidence in preference to the vet eran, who is losing his old time abil- ity?
 There have been instances when vet erans released by major league club because of the fact that they werS going back were really benefited. Man' of the former iaeis of the diamond are to-day prosperous owners of minor league clubs or well-paid managers. who are considered in the smaller leagues as almost invaluable because of their major league experience.
 To-day there are numerous players who are giving evidences of going back Some of them are not "all in by any means; some of them play their old-t time game in spots. but there are plenty of ball tossers holding down regular positions who are slated for the minors. In some cases they are being held until better man can be secured: in others because of their valuable ex perience and ability to coach the very youngsters who are about to take their positions.
 Remember how Germany Schaefrr used to hold down second for the De- troit Tigers when they were playing the greatest ball of their career? He was so good, so clever and so heady that Manager Jennings thought he was just the man for captain of the infield

They were hailed as the greatest ever. All around the cir cult the pair attracted the attention of the public and the opposing pitchers dreaded their appearance at bat.
 Where is Germany Schaefer now?

 Greaf Slide

Ever seen Ty Cobb. the great batter and right fielder of the Detroit Ameri- cans, slide for a base? No? Well, next time you get the opportunity go see him. This fellow has the prettest slide of any ball tosser in the game. Cobb perhaps spiked more players last season than any other three men Tn his league. Because of his well-known ability, because of the high position occupied by the Detroit club Tn tne race, because of the fact that in sey- eral cases the men spiked by Cooo were members of teams regarded as Detroit's most dangerous rivals, 1t was openly stated that Cobb had inten- tionally spiked these men in oroer 10 weaken the Tigers strongest oppo- nents But this Is not so.
 While it may often look from the stand as if Cobb is deliberate in his attempts to injure, yet there are few players, if really asked for an honest opinion during the off season. when they are not all excited over the pen nant race, who would swear that Cooo tried to put different players out or the running by the use of his steer spurs.
 Cobb has a slide peculiarly his own. Unlike most others. Cobb doesn't slow down before starting to slide, but hits the turf at almost his fUli speed. One of his legs is thrown in the direction of the bag. the other usually high in the air, while his body is thrown in the opposite direction from the base man. In other words. when Cobb goes into a base feet first, about the only thing the runner has to touch is the spikes of one of his shoes Thus the feat of touching Cobb is a rather diff1- cult as well as dangerous task Then, again, there are many basemen who don't fancy touching Cobb any too well. and quite often in trying to safe Iv position themselves they get in the very spot that makes the play danger Ous.
 Cobb's fadeaway slide is the work of an artist. It takes an artist in the art of touching the runner to show up Cobb's slide. just as CObb's slide shows up basemen who rather fear touching him in order to avoid possible injury It is always a treat to watch Cobb try to steal third with Bobby Wallace of the st Louis BrOnws playing the bag. or see him attempt to pilfer second with Wallace at shortstop taking the throw from the catcher.
 There are any number of American Ieague infielders who are very clever at touching a base-runner. but no one has anything on Bobby Wallace He is an adept at handling a thrown ball with one hand. and unless the catcher happens to make throw that is right on the runner there isn't a chance for Wallace to be spiked. Cobb goes into Wallace with terrific speed. The lat ter takes the throw in his gloved hand. hooks the ball under Cohb's foot and starts him off in some direction other than the bag.

Adbice to Young Ball Players

to third and Baker, 10 first The next man delivered a long sacrifice fly. which won the game.
 That is the kind of playing a man ager expects of his men, He likes to see them pull off a bunt when the en- emy is expecting a hit-and-run play. and vice versa. Tie unexpected IS what counts in baseball nowadays, and the man who cannot use his head quickly may as we'll pack up his suit and dig for the bush leagues.
 Players should always run everything out, no matter whether it seems like sure chance for the infielder and cer- tain death for himself. A player who loafs on an infield tap is cheating his own team, and. although he may not realize it, he is doing more harm to himself than any enc else.
 Lee TannehilI, who is adorning the bench for the White Sox at present. would undoubtedly have been given a chance to figure in the box score re- gently, especially with so many men on the hospital list. had it not been for the fact that he lost a crucial game last year by failing to run out an in- field tap that was fumbled
 While Tarnehill can to-day pick them up in great style and bat the ball just as long and hard as ever. there is still the feeling that he doesn't play the game for all. it is worth. the impress sion of which was given especially in that one play last summer. Had it not been for that evidence of weakness Lee Tannehill would undoubtedly be play ing regular ball for the White Sox to- day.

Strong Bid for Lipfon Cup

J. L. Mitchell of the Bensonhurst Yacht club will make a strong bid tU win the Lipton cup for sloop of class s this summer. He has had nea sloop built for the class, which has been designed by William Gardner. ard the new sloop is almost ready to make her first appearance in a race. Mir. Mitchell has owned and raced the sloop Mischief for some time with fair success. In the regatta sailed last Saturday off the Atlantic Yacht club house at Sea Gate the Mischief lost her mast.
 There is a challenge cup for yachts of class s which has been offered by Sir Thomas Lipton through the Cres- cent Athletic club of New York. This trophy is to be sailed for annually un- til it has been won three times by the same, yachtsman. but not necessarily by the same yacht. This cup will be raced for this summer for the first time and series of three races has been arranged for the Crescent Ath letic club, which will be sailed dur ing the race week of the Atlantic Yacht club. These three races are to be sailed on Aug. 31.. Sept. and 2.
 On the lower bay there are now four of the s class yachts. M and F. Blue Bill, Alice and Bensonhurst. On the sound thera are the Nereid. Drena and in the Manhasse bay special class and twelve in the Glen Cove class. popu- larly known as the Jewel s class.

"PlaY the gamein


 That is generally the instruction given to all ball players by managers who have a club that professes to be even semblance of baseball team.
 A manager wants his player to bunt when bunt is the play; miss a strike when that course would likely prove beneficial, or hit the ball hard on the nose if the occasion seems to de- mand it.
 Generally with a man on first the play is either to bunt the ball or play the hit-andrun. A player who can lay it down invariably makes a hit with the manager. for a really scientific bunter is a rarity, even in the big leagues. o-day
 However when a batter is given the signal to bunt it does not mean that he must in all cases lay the ball down If such were the case the game would become mechanical, the interest would fall off and the attendance would de- crease in such proportions that the game would be quickly killed.
 'I like my men to use their own heads occasionally" remarked Connie Mack recently after Baker. who. with a man on first, had batted the ball down the third base line as the third sacker came in expecting a bunt. Tt shows that he is in the game and talk ing every advantage of the enemy"
 This play ended the game. The third baseman. anticipating the bunt. me chanically came in toward the plate. Baker. quick as flash, rapped the ball hard at him. with the result that the man on first went all the way around

 "Langford I do not think much Of. Burns I have whipped once before. Ketchell is too easy, and l do not be- lieve Con Kelley would have chance in the world I'm going to buzz around in my joy wagon, pick up all the easy money I can for a year or so, and then if there is a capable man in sight Jack Johnson will be Johnny on the spot with both dukes up."
 Johnson was the first man of his color to get the chance to fight for the heavyweight championship since the Queensberry rules were framed. He is more fortunate in that respect than Peter Jackson, the other colored heavy weight, who challenged Sullivan and was refused a battle despite the fact that all critics agreed that Jackson deserved a meeting with the Boston boy. Johnson heads the list of fla nous negro fighters, beginning with Molineaux. who went alone and pen niless from Virginia to England to meet the greatest fighting man the world knew at the time. Tom Cribb. for the championship of England. That was in 1S1O when the old London prize ring rules were in force.
 Johnson is a magnificently built ath- Iete. He is as strong as a bull, cat like and quick. clever and scientific. and carries damaging punch in either hand. He fought at first for small purses. because his means of liveli- hood depended upon it. and he felt that eventually he would be a cham pion.

Jack Johnson Looks Supreme

In the absence of any belt the Amer fcan title passed from one heavy weight to another only by public rec ognfuon. and this has been the unerr- ing mark by which a champion was known in the United States.
 To-day. Jack Johnson is the undis- puted and recognized champion heavy weight pugilist of the world. He fought hts way to the top of the heap and certainly deserves the laurcls that are now crowning his head.
 Johnson and Tommy Burns fought a battle for the o-calIed worlds cham pionship at Sydney, N. s. w. Dec. 25, 1908. but this fight was not, strictly speaking, for the American champion ship. Johnson won over Burns in the fourteenth round. Since returning to this country Johnson has met Jack O'Brien and Stanley KetcheiI. the rec ognized middle weight champion. knocking the latter out in the twelfth round.
 These battles and victories, however, were not sufficient to convince the public that he was the legitimate pos sessor of the title he claimed, but when Johnson entered the ring at Reno. New. July and disposed of James J. Jcf- fries. at that time the idol of the American race. he was conceded to be the greatest fighter that ever donned the gloves.
 Tt may be a year before I fight again." said Johnson. discussing his future. ''Of course am perfectly will ing to give any man with champion caliber a crack at the heavy weight title. but I am going to absorb little of the cream before do.

Lelvis Anxious 10 Fight

Harry Lewis, the welter-weiSht championship claimant. declares he in- tends to go out for the middle-weight title. and says he will challenge Stan ley KetcheI and Billy Papke.
 Lewis is also anxious, he declares, to meet Willie Lewis as soon as possi- ble. He says that he beat the latter in the twenty-round fight in Paris which the referee decided a draw. Lewis has taken on weight and thinks he will be able to defeat anybody who will make 15S pounds ringside.
 There is a lot of good material among Frenchmen for the development of the fight game" said Lewis. "but the general trouble on the continent is the fact that as soon as a man has reached a fit state of development he must en- ter the army. This was the case with Adrien Hogan. I took Hogan in hand some time ago and taught him enough points about the game to make him the champion of France, although he is only a welter- weight. But next october he may enter the army"
