TRANSFORMING HURTS
STANDING Of CLUBS

Always sympathizng with the base ball
player against the club e.sner. the aver
age patron resents any disposition on the
part Of the club to keep the idol
from turning his ability into much
coin as possible. Attempts to discOura ge
transforming expeditions in the fall
and to dissuade players, from joining
teams which play. during the winter
months have been unpopular with the
public. Against the abuse of playing out
of regular season is the fact that the star
who attempts to make use of his ability
for nine or ten months of a year will
wear himself out faster and will not be
able to do as good work in the champion
ship campaigns. In consequence, the pa
iron himself will be deprived Of much
pleasure that might be his. Against the
shorter Transforming trips which fol-
low championship races. there is no. such
objection. because they are made at
time when a player is in good trim as a
rule. and end In time to permit him to
rest up before the next year. The objec-
tons made to transforming are of an
entirely different character If ball play
ers would. go out and play on their own
individual regulations and be satisfied
with what additional revenue those
would get them there would be little OBJ
orally ten or a dozen players of sue
cessful team agree to play on their
nook, but invariably use the good names
of their team drawing card. Ere
quently these misfit aggregations have
pitchers in the outfield, and infields made
UP of substitutes and battery men. Often
they are badly trimmed by minor
league or Independent teams, which would
not win one game in forty from the
regular team whose name is being mis-
used for advertising purposes. Occa-
sionally these players misconduct them
selves and work injury TO the name of
base ball. There can be no discipline:
usually there is no manager in charge.
Seldom will players exert themselves
more than is necessary to complete
enough innings to get them their share
Of the money. The result of the game
means less than the receipts to them.
That was why President Dreyfuss of the
worlds champions asked his men to give
up the Transforming" trip which a
squad Of them was planning after the
worlds series. He was liable to wake up
some morning and read about $1,000
worth of players being beaten by some 81
bury worlds champions" who were trim
med. even if Wagner, Gibson. Clarke.
Leach and a few other real worlds
champions we're absent. II some of Drey-
fuss players had planned transforming
under the name Of 'Tnvincibles' or
"Carnegtes," Barney probably would have
had no objection But that would not
dizing the base ball reputation which
Dreyfuss had spent many thousands of
dollars to build up could his players fool
the public into attending their mediocre
exhibition games. Therein lies the OBJ
lection.

MADRIZ ANXIOUS TO TREAT
FOR PEACE.
Likelihood of Insurgent Victory at
Acoyapa-Control of Wires
Explains Silence.

Negotiations for peace are said to be
on again between tho Nicara guam revo-
lutionists and President Madriz.
The tragic drowning of Fornas Diaz.
Estrada's peace envoy. who fell into the
sea when he was about to land for
meeting with the commissioner of Ma
driz, halted the negotiations few days
ago.
According to correspondence between
Madriz and the insursent chief, the text
OF which has been sent to the Navy De-
partment by Admiral kimball. new
commissioner probably will be appointed
to meet the Madriz representative in
Greytown and discuss terms for per-
manent peace.
The Central American diplomats here
are still of opinion that nothing short
OF the complete surrender OF the reins
OF government by adriz will be accept
ed by the revolutionists
The fnsurgent' supporters here point
out that the complete silence which has
followed the battle Of Acoyapa three days
ago must portend an nsurgent victory.
They say the telegraph line from Acoy-
tion, Is absolutely controlled by Madriz
No news of a rebel victory would be al
lowed to go to the outside world that
way.
1t is believed that the divisions of the
Estrada army Which left Rama.~ separate
ly, after the battle, have made junction
at Acoyapa. Chamorro was in charge OF
the first division. Estrada followed with
the two others.

WELTERWEIGHT THOMAS
ONCE A BALL PLAYER

Base ball probably lost a star when
Joe Thomas, an aepirant for the weller
weight Championship. turned pugilist.
Thomas was a professional player for
six months i'm California, although this
fact will doubtless be a big surprise TO
the patrons Of base ball and pugilism in
this section
Thomas. in speaking OF his work on
the diamond, says that he was the first
man to handle the curves of Harry
Krause. the Athletics "southpaw" pitch
err The two youths went to the Sacred
Heart College In California, and formed
the greatest battery ever turned out at
that institution. Thomas Also handled
the curves OF Joe Nealon. who played for
a year as first baseman OF the P1ttsburg
club.
In talking Of his experiences Thomas
also dropped remark which will be A
big surprise to the followers OF the
Athletics. That is that Heine Heitmulier.
the big outfielder, was originally
pitcher. When he played professionally
Thomas was the battery partner of Heit-
muller on the coast.
AS souvenir OF his days on the
diamond Thomas exhibits a finger
which he had broken when one OF
Krauses ''southpaw" slants got away
from him.

HOW STALWART JACK
HIT THE FAST MCCOY
Story of the Knockout MCC0r-
mick Gave the Agile Crack
So Long Ago.

Many ring critics have discussed the
oft-told story of the one-round knockout
which big Jack Mccormick hung. oh so
many years ago, upon Kid Mccoy.
Stories have been printed time without
number with descriptions of that strange.
uncanny fight. and theories and conlec-
lures are still pumerous-perhaps rightly
So For never in ring history has there
been a queerer fluke, a funnier finish tn
battle, and the fans who saw that
knockout will cherish it to their dying
day as one of the most amusing and yet
astounding happenings OF the age
The writer was at the ringside that
night and saw the punch. Nuff ced. as
of the critics who still comment on that
battle didn't see 1t and have only had to
go by hearsay and conjecture.
Summerfield and Essig were running a
club in the Star Theater of Chicago that
winter-a house which is now Sid Euson's.
Mccormick had been showing pretty good
class in six-lpund bouts. although Joe
Choynski had outshaded him, while Nc
Gov was always an interesting card. So
they we're matched and the odd outcome
Of the bout stung the promoters in the
wallet. Mccoy was given 81 200, win. lose
or draw. Mccormick signed on percent
age and as the promoters Inquired him a
SIRE loser they counted on paying out
simply McCoy's $1,000 plus the losing
end OF half the house. AS Mccormick
won. they had to cough UP McCoy's thou
sand plus the winning end of half the
house. and they lost much money on the
show.
