Zbyszko to Wrestle Roller.

KANSAS CITY, January 22-There is a
movement under way here among wres-
Ting promoters to bring about a match
between ZbysZko. the Polish mat artist
and DR.. Roller, the Seattle wrestler. The
strides taken by the Polander since his
appearance In this country have aston
ished wrestling sharps and many claim
that he has a good chance to acquire the
title which Frank Gotch now holds
Gotch failed to throw Zbyszko in a ham
dicap bout held not long ago at Buffalo
After that Gotch said Cutler could de-
feat Zybszko. however the Polander
showed that he is a good man by de-
featng Cutler In Chicago. Now word
comes that Roller is the man to shatter
Zbyszko's championship aspirations. The
match, were it arranged. would prove a
good drawing card. for it is believed that
Roller would make the Pole work hard
for victory.
DIR. Roller was here several days ago
and is reported to have made favorable
comment on such contest. What he had
to say is as follows: If Zbyszko will
consent to meet me in Kansas City L will
sign up at once. However. 1 won't be
able to meet him before the middle of
February. He can name the division of
the purse and the other details"
Zbyszko states that he Is willing to
meet Roller, but further than that would
not talk about the proposed match.
"If Roller wants to meet me I'll give
him a chance" was all he would say.

O'CONNOR WANTS CLARKE.
Insists on Having mig" for St.

Fred Lake, now manager OF the Boston

as Jim Mcclure of the Maps A few
days after MCGUIRE visited New York
and Boston in search of new players
Lake dropped down to New York to in

on the subject Of trades. McGraw, how
ever. could not see that he wanted any
of the Doves except ones with whom
Lake refused to part Pitcher Red"
White was one of the men that McGraw
was willing to have, but then Lake cob

1t was just the same way when Nc
CURE went after new faces last month.
He told Jack O'Connor of ST. Louis that
he would like to get Bobby Wallace. who
wanted to go to Cleveland. OConnor
was perfectly willing that Cleveland
should have Wallace, but he insisted on
That stopped proceedings at once. as Nc
CURE will not listen to any proposition
which involves Clarke.
When he wants to be, Clarke is one OF
the best catchers in the American
League He intends to be good this
year. He certainly did not give Cleve-
land his best last season, but under a
different management he promises to
show some of the form he did in 1906 and
1907. To let him go would leave Bemis.
Easterly and Higgins. Bemis Is a vet
eran, who is liable to go back any one OF
these days, while Easterly is a man who
can do his best work when not used too
often He can catch three days week
without any trouble, but when asked to
perform more often he is liable to go
stale. AS for Higgins. he is still an ex-

OTTO HESS ROBBED
OF HIS ONLY HOMER

Big Otto Hess, he Of the Teutonic blood
and the southpaw salary wing, was rob-
bed Of a home run last summer in New
Orleans In a peculiar manner, and one
which left the elongated German in a
rage for a full week. Besides pitching
pretty nice ball. Hess gained the repu-
tation Of being somewhat of a pinch hit
ter In the Southern League.
In this particular game Memphis had
New Orleans to the bad when the ninth
inning rolled around by a two to one
score. The Pelicans got a man as far as
second with one out and the bleacherites
yelled for Otto Hess. For once the fans
were heard and Hess was sent In as a
pinch hitter. He caught the first ball
pitched squarely on the seam and sent
1t on q bee line for right field and high
over the fielder's head.
1t struck the screen which Is stretched
above the fence about twenty feet from
the ground and lodged in a pocket in the
wire directly behind the white board
which runs up along the wire to designate
the foul line. Hess circled the bases only
to be waved back by Umpire O'9rien.
And then the Dutch and the Irish had it
out for several minutes. And Hess
ended 1t all by striking out and New Or
leans lost the game.
IL "dS q AdI monte rum aS lar aS ever
was made. For a ball to lodge In the
wire screen 1t had to hit the foul line
and any ball hitting the line is fair. Had
the ball hit the fence foul It could not
have stuck there. but would have bound
ed bach into the field. The ball stayed
up there for the rest of the game and
the groundkeeper had to climb up on a
ladder after the game and pry it out
with stick. 1t was the only hit that
Hess made all season that looked any
thing like homer and the lanky Dutch
man is still talking and swearing about it.

GRIFFITH SPRINGS
A HARD LUCK TALE

At this late date Clark Griffith Is out
with an explanation as to why the High
landers didn't win the American League
championship in 1903, the first year OF
the Johnson organization in New York
city. Winter base ball was the reason. &C.
cording to Grif, that the Highlanders
were beaten for the pennant. In Gin

SPRING TRAINING
WILL BE SHORTER

That this will be the last year Of ex-
tended and extensive training trips for
base ball teams, for time at least, Is
indicated by the tendency already notice.
able In major league club owners plans
for the future. The movement toward
more conservative spring training is APP
parent in the decision this year. of sew
eral magnates to delay the start of prepa-
ration a week or ten days later than had
been the general rule. 1t is further ap-
parent in the search that Is being made
by other club owners for permanent
training camps within reasonable dis
tsEces of their home towns. Hitherto
there has been disposition to try to
Guido each other in the matter of am
bilious plans for the preliminaries to a
championship race under the erroneous
impression that the longer the prepara-
ton the better prepared team would be
and that failure to take pretentious trips
In the spring would lead the public to
think a club owner parsimonious. Elk
perienCe has shown that conditions sur
rounding the preparatory work have
much more to do with producing good re-
suits than the distance travelled or the
length of time devoted to such work.
The public has learned that, too, and

success or failure of a team on the play
ing field The length of a training trip

actual cash. 1t long has been maintain
cd by many experienced base ball men
that three weeks of practice under prop
er conditions, one Of them devoted to
physical condition and the other two to
actual games. are sufficient to put the
average ball player in tiptop shape for a
pennant race. Pitchers and some vet
eran players require more time. but
these can be given longer periods for
preparation without requiring an entire
team to do so. The chief advantage OF
a long preparation is the time allowed
for trying out recruits in all departments
of the game. Their real worth cannot
be ascertained except under actual fire
in a ball game. A certain amount of
experimenting must be done to pick out
the desirable young players, and in the
major leagues the battle is too strenuous
to make It advisable to make expert
ments in championship games unless alb
eolutely necessary.

HACKENSCHMIDT ISL

Hackenschmidt, the Russian lion, is in
Australia. Hack is adding to the list Of
funny things said by professional ath-
letes when far from home. He Is telling
tho Australians he is awfully afraid that

Gotch ever since losing the match in Chi
cago, and how Gotch eldded Aim In Eng

Hackenschmidt fears that Gotch will
sidestep the proposition of going to Aus

fears that even IL Gotch does go there
Gotch will refuse to wrestle Hacken-
scmidt for a $4,000 side bet, which is the
one thing Hackenschmidt will insist upon
He thinks the craven GOtch will refuse tC

purse and insist upon having that split

Now, isn't that funny? Gotch followed
Hackenschmidt to England when the lat
ter went home and told the English
about the awful treatment he received In
Chicago. Gotch trailed Hack down In
London, and put up a forfeit to bind a
match with him right at home In Eng
land to a finish.
When Frank arrived he found that
Hackenschmidt had posted a sum OF
money with a London paper as a forfeit
for match with Gotch. But no sooner
had Gotch appeared on the scene than
the Russian lion suddenly thought of an
engagement in Germany. pulled down his
money, bought a one-way ticket and

TRACED BY BLOODY TRAIL.
Two Young White Men Found Fa-
tally Wounded.

GREENVILLE. s. c.. January 20
Traced for nearly a mile by streaks OF
blood daubing the ground, Will Foster
and Tom Scott, two young white men,
were found fatally wounded near the
Carolina mills today. The young men,
it is said, got into fight in a resort and
were terribly slashed by an unknown
man. They. staggered uptown, leaving
splotches of blood to mark their trail.
So spattered was the ground in front of
the courthouse this morning that the
police thought murder had been COM
mitted. The officers followed the bloody
trail for mile and found the two men In
a critical condition.
There are no clues to the man who did
the cutting.
