CUBS HAVE NEW PLAY
Proved Very Successful in Blocking
Sacrifice Flies

The Chicago Cubs have devised a
new way to beat the sacrifice fly and
judging by the way 1t has worked In
the few times the Cubs directly in
terested have tried it, the new stunt
spells more trouble for the batter.
Johnny King. Johnny Evers and Joe
Tinker are the men who are credited
rifice fly thing. as they have been
credited with n good-siZed majority
of the real brainy stuff which has
made the Cubs the great machine they
are.
The trick Is worked like this:
With a runner on the third corner
the batter put long fly to the out
field. King breaks away from the
batter and beats IL for the edge OF the
diamond, fronting whatever part of the
field the ball has been hit into. Evers
breaks directly for the plate while
Tinker. taking more time sprints so
as to cross the line between thirG base
and home plate in time to slow up the
runner. who starts the moment the
hall touches the outfielder's hands.
Then instead of shooting the pan
home and taking chances on the
throw being wild. the outfielder relays
IL to Killing, known as the most accur-
ate thrower the game has, who In turn
whips IL home to Evers covering the
plate. Tinker, after performing his
part of the play. which is to slow the
runner coming home by crossing d.
| rectly in front of him, but not block
ing him, backs up Evers on the throw
II sounds difficult. but the CUBS
great trio have tried II out and nave
made good, and the play mostly de-
ponds on the accuracy of the great
Kings salary arm.

YALE ALUMNI SAY SOCIAL
LIFE HAS CAUSED DEFEAT

Social life is blamed for the regular
reverses of Yale crews and Yale alum
nj have frequently expressed dissatls-
faction over the way the blues have
been forced to trail the crimson IN re-
cent rowing regattas.
Feeling has reached such a height
that rumors have named James f..
Rice of Columbia, and Robert Court
ney of Cornell. as the probable sue
cessor of John Kennedy as head coach
of the Yale crews. Those who KNOW"
however, say that 1t is the Yale sys-
tenn of training that is all wrong.
Harvard crews train at Red Top
Yale crews hold their workout at
Gales Ferry.
The former is training camp, gov
erned by the iron will of coach and
camp physician. The atmosphere Of
Gales Ferry savors more Of a summer
resort, where fond mothers, sisters and
." I'NhNoANo ny udy slnt
preparations of ELS brawny oarsmen.
The rigorous discipline of the coach
relaxes when the men climb out of
their shell.
Unlimited latitude is allowed the
Yale oarsmen during his off hours.
He dons his nattiest ducks and strolls
through the community with his sister
or sweetheart relaxing overy effort to
condition himself.
The same autocratic authority that
Courtney enjoys at Cornell is notice
able at Red Top. The crews go there
to train. They see no friends and pay
no social calls on cottage verandas.
They eat four meals day and row
steadily. During their idle moments
they throw quoits and Joll about In
as little clothing as the law actually
will permit.
When the day of the great race
comes several Yale men usually coll
lapse at the finish while The Harvard
oarsmen appear i'm perfect condition.

HORSFMEN MOURN
DECAY OF SPORT
MANY PLANNING INVASION OF
ENGLISH TRACKS BECAUSE
, OF POOR OUTLOOK IN THIS
! COUNTRY NOW

New York, July ia great many
horse men are making preliminary
plans to be ready to so to England II
the race tracks I'm New York finally
decide to close. Some of those who
have gone across the water in recent
years have prospered, and II is n sig
niflcant fact that those who are pres
pering abroad are those who prosper
ed here. The significance lies in the
fact that ability achieves success
wherever II is brought into play. A
great many unsuccessful horsemen
used to be fond of referring to the
men who trained the big stables, own
cd by men high In the councils of the
Jockey club, as being especially ia
vored by the governing powers for
selfish reasons. but these same train
ers. in England and France have had
to meet conditions where odds were
against them, and yet they succeeded
anyhow.
England will. of course, be the OBJ
ject of most OF those who go abroad.
because English Is the only language
with which most OF the horsemen are
familiar. but few will follow Fred
Burlew's example and go to France,
and pick up knowledge of French
while chasing the franc, which Is
doubtless as hard to catch there as
the dollar is here. Others will go to
Germany and others to South Ameri-
en-. where racing has been growing In
popularity for some years. OF course
IL was introduced in the South Amer
lean countries by the English colonists,
but the natives have begun to take n
fancy to It, and 1t may get to be the
big thing there II has been here.

TENNEY BOOSTS GIANTS
Let Out by McGraw, He Still Boosts
Former Teammates

Fred Tenney. formerly of the New
York Giants. is not one of the idle
kind. and took hold without much
hesitation the offer there was made to
him to embark as first baseman In
Lowell.
Fred was let down by New York,
but was fair and square enough to
come out and pay tribute to the
strength of his former associates. Il
fancy the Giants very much indeed,
he said the other day. "McGraw has
fine ball club and ought to come
very near landing the pennant with
his aggregation. He has lot of fine
young material. Snodgrass is a com
ing ball tosser-coming fast, indeed.
The pitching staff is strong, and in
Devore a fast youngster Is being de-
veloped.
Il do not know of any am that
has any business to beat hi, cam out
when things are breaking well. MY
associations were of the pleasantest
while was with the New York team
and I hope they win score decided
success"

Each the antithesis of the other
Tyrus Cobb of Detroit and Larry La
joie of Cleveland are wonderful play
ers. Time was when there was big
three" Cobb. Wagner and Lajoie. but
time seems to be fastening its newt
able hold on the mighty Hans and he
is not hitting this season as of yore.
In the field, too, he is slowing down.
1t looks like a race between Cobb
and Lajoie for the automobile whlch
an enterprising automobile firm has
offered to the batsman leading the
major leaguers.
The contrast between Cobb and La
joie begins with their build, passes on
TO their style and doesn't by any
means conclude with their temper

MAY INVADE pITTssuRe

Pittsburg. July 15.--According to
rumors which have been quietly cir
culated for several days and which
find their way into print negotiations
are on for the sale of weh-known
amusement park in the Belleield dis
trict here to syndicate which Is said
TO contemplate organizing Pittspurs
base ball team as rivals to the Nation
al league club here
The rumors connect the name OF
President Ban Johnson, of the Amer
lean league. with the reported deal. In
view however, of the understanding
that an American league club could
NOT invade Pittsburg without vioiat-
ing the rules Of the national base ball
commission. the outcome of the re-
ported negotiations is a matter of keen
interest and conjecture.

WOMEN gain KNOWLEDGE
OF PRESENT DAY SPORTS

The day Of the woman is almost at
hand. The suffraget movement is
gaining Roadway, there's woman
sporting editor at Pueblo. Colo, and
there are women baseball fans. Fam
cites. If you prefer ii that way.
Women are getting so they under
stand baseball and enjoy IL as much as
the men. Many can score a game.
Perhaps their acquaintance with the
hieroglyphics the newspaper scorers
use is somewhat stunted; but they can
keep track a clean hit when one is
made. Generally they know. too, when
an error is perpetrated.
Fellows aren't ashamed TO take their
best" girl To n ball game any more.
Time was when young man suffere'l
intense humiliation during an exclt.-
ing moment of a contest and duri hg
other moments as well. But In ese
conditions no longer exist. Women
now know better than to make 70 olish
inquiries about plays and actio ms OF
the players. They comprehend what
il is all about.
Women are deeper students Of the
popular pastime than men. They have
had to be because they didIrt have
the same chance to grow up with II
that falls to the lot of their masculine
friends. Constant attendance at the
parks and intelligent study has given
them an insight into the processes of
the sport and added enjoyment in life.
They have become so well versed that
they laugh when the umpire is hit with
the ball. the same as the men do.
Cartoonists and funny men have lost
good subject with woman's increas-
ed knowledge of baseball. At the
game she is no longer a nuisance and
her male escort isn't taking a chance
with his self-respect by occupying the
seat next To her.
Speaking about women governors and
women officials OF various capacities.
some time i'm the future we may
read of Miss So and So. secretary OF
the-baseball club or secretary Of
the American league. Not probable
but possible.

to hit a wild pitch as n ball directly
over. 1t is as though he made up his
mind when he was going to hit and,
therefore, hit regardless of where the
ball went. He bats right handed.
In one way they are alike. Cobb
and Lajoie are each looking for the
chance to turn a single into a double
on the least slp-up by a fielder and
each will take the chance when there
is the least possibility of arriving at
the keystone sack safely. Lajoie seems
to cover ground in great style after
passing first.
It's going to be great race for that
squak wagon between the two of EN-.
with Lajoie at present topping 400
and Cobb hitting in the neighborhood
of 800

nervous appearing. He runs as though
propelled by steel springs. Lajoie Is
more on the Doric style of architec-
ture. He is easy going, looks lazy and
plays the most difficult chances in
manner TO make them look almost
simple. Cobb. on the other hand, when
chasing ball throws his arms about
runs with his feet high and makes
difficult chance look the more diff
cult.
At the bat the difference continues.
Cobb crowds the plate for some balls
and steps back for others. He waits
for the pitcher to get the ball'over. He
hits from the left side of the pan.
Lajoie. on the other hand places him
self solidly at the plate and is as apt
