ELEVEN TEAMS
FOR NEW LEAGUE
Hockey Managers in Clusters Clamor
For Places in the Detroit
City.

Instead OF eight teams wishing to
join the Detroit Hockey league, eleven
have come to the front with one or
more TO be heard from. II the league
consists Of eight clubs only. some
elimination must take place before
the schedule can be made out.
The second meeting OF the league
will be held this evening at A G..
Spalding & Bros, Woodward-ave.
Only managers will attend Last week
so many players and managers came
out that II was difficult TO get down
to business because OF the numbers
Three new teams have made appli-
cation to Pres. Richard Jackson. Jr.
They represent the Detroit Gas Co.,
the Grand Trunk Yards and the EMF
Co. All three are anxious to get In.
The managers who wish TO have a
part In the league will be asked to-
night to put up forfeits that they will
have teams on hand when the season
begins. Pres. Jackson says he has
found this sort of a course necessary
In amateur baseball so that the affairs
OF the league can be conducted upon
a business-like basis. Lack OF forfeit
money resulted in the downfall of sew
eral amateur organizations that should
have succeeded in Detroit
There will be no hitch over this part
OF the program, however, as there Is
such a keen interest In hockey that
eight responsible teams can be put
on the ice without any trouble.
Thus far no action has been taken
as to where the league will play It's
games and none will be until the
league has established itself upon
likely that the managers Will look
upon the new Arena as a suitable
location for the reason that the artifi-
cial ice will make playing games pos
sible no matter what the weather.
The grand stand there also. will az
ford comforts for $500 spectators
that can be had at no other place In
the city. However, this is matter
for consideration later.
Owing to the great interest in the
league IL would be advisable for each
manager to be on hand at Spalding's
this evening at 1880 so that matters
may be shaped up in time for prac-
tice az soon as ice Is available. Pres.
Jackson says he hopes TO have the
league in fine working order before
the holidays.
Jackson would like TO schedule
some games with out-of-town-teams
for the holidays and II that Is TO be
done. It is necessary for all the clubs
in the Detroit league 10 get going i'm
SO the best players can be
chosen for the representative team.

hung out, and mortgaged his share

$500, which he also bet on his team.
1.-The night before the game, Dan
had, by Offering TO buy everything the
saloon proprietor had In his place the
next night, induced him 20 close his
place and a meeting OF the players
was called by O'Leary. The man
ager had prepared himself by having
full stock of drinkables in his own
room, and he kept his players under
his own eye, until every saloon In
town was locked up for the night.
Players Get Hep.
Next day the players heard about

done and were suspicious that II was

Maybe Dan replied, and then he
told them how he had placed the mon
ely.
well, talk about ball playing, why,
those dump rats went at the VIII
Transport fellows like playing fiends
and made nine runs the first inning.
The full score was something like

Did the Dan O'Learys get the

not? The manager set up the wine by

Dan O'Leary is now living in Chica-
go and is known best there now In
theatrical circles as the leading FIRST
nighter'
He Is one OF the most enthusiastic
baseball fans In Chicago, and rarely
misses a game.
Not since 1879-and that's a long
time ago-has a ball player repeated
the great trick made by Dan O'Leary,
now a popular clubman in Chicago,
and In those days a player OF consid-
cradle skill. Dan was with the old
indianapolis team, and was having an
awful batting slump. In some 20
games poor Dan landed nothing that
resembled base hit, and he was fair
ly furious at his own ill-luck and the
joshings OF his friends. Finally, at a
critical moment OF a desperate game.
Ccn leaned upon a fast ball and
whooped for Joy as the ball went
shrieking down the field. Round the
bases Hoped the delighted sluggei
while the fielders madly pursued the
leather. On and on he went, and at
last, In one great slide and a storm Of
dust. Dan burst across the plate
only to be informed that he was out.
He had run the wrong way, going to
third instead OF first and circling the
bases In reverse order. Dan was so
badly broken up over the affair that
he gave up the game.

NF ALL the pitchers In the Am
erican, Detroit possessed the
easiest marks for making
III home runs. The Tiger fling
ers during 1910 yielded "a
home runs, which Is four made than
were made of Boston, second on the
list The Boston Nationals and the
Phillies exceeded the Tigers IN this
respect by two each.
Whether or not the American
league pitchers OF 1910 were better
than the National twirlers, the foct
remains that the artillerists In the
organization presided over by Byron
Bancroft Johnson had only l47 home
runs made of their deliveries last
year TO 215 four-baggers procured on
the gunners OF the senior body
No American league player was
able TO straighten one OF the curves
flung at him by Jack Coombs, the
pitching star OF the White Elephants
and slam it either over the fence or
clout it such a distance that he was
entitled to be rewarded by the pres
entation of a pair OF shoes and other
merchandise. on CHER Bender,
Coombs' running mate In the world $
series, only one four.bagger was made
last season. Jake Stahl manufacturing
IL. Walter Johnson, the Idaho
phenom. yielded one hit good for the
distance, this being poled
by Eddie Collins.
Some Interesting Figures.
Other star pitchers in the American
league did not fare SO well. George
Mullin had seven hon, runs made on
him: Russell Ford, four; Ed Walsh,
four. and Eddie Plank, three. The
twirlers in the younger organization
who had the greatest number OF four
baggers made off their deliveries were
Stroud. OF Detroit, nine; Summers, OF
Detroit, and Groom. OF Washington,
each eight: Mullin, OF Detroit, seven,
and Hall. of Boston. six.
In the National league the pitchers
of whom the greatest number OF four
furlong drives were manufactured
were Crandall, OF New York, ten;
Curtis. OF Boston. nine; Frock, OF Bos-
ton. eight: I.eifeld, OF Pittsburg. sew

BUY A PIECE OF LAND.

The following is copied from the
Macon Telegraph:
ALEX Pearce. a negro, rented 40
acres in LoWndes county. With
mule and a boy he made seven bales
of sea island cotton GU of this he
paid rent and put in bank $4,000. He
made 100 bushels OF corn and fodder,
sweet potatoes, syrup, peas, garden
truck He had homemade bacon left
over from hogs OF last year when he
butchered II this winter He has a
COW, chickens and no dog.
He finds time to do odd Jobs on
ahe outside for the cash.
ALEX is a strong young fellow, and
is now looking around with view to
suying a small farm of his own
"Who said South Georgia had the
greater per cent of hookworms?"
We print the above not with the
idea of boosting Alex. Pearce. We
are not interested in him.
We are interested in the white far
mers of Cobb county and this example
OF what a negro can do is worth think
ing about
Alex. is looking out to buy farm
of his own He is wise to stay out
OF town; wise to work; wise to try to
own a piece of land
We should like to hammer home the
truth that the time is coming when
the workingman in town will not fare
so well as the farmer in the country
The bread and meat question is the
question of the future for the masses.
There is just so much of the earth
and no more Better a piece of land
IN the country that you can make a
living on, than job in town that you
may lose. With the great increase in
population; with oger-production in
manufacturing. the problem of max
ing living is going to face the peo-
pie in the cOngested centers. The
man in the country can raise his own
supplies and his children need not
cry for bread.
If you are on farm, stay there If
you own a farm, keep all of it that
you need. If you own no land. buy
some. Improve it; enrich it; take
care of it; freeze to It, 1t will feed
you and, as we have said, the time is
coming in few more years when that
