ONE ON ALTIZER.
Tim Hurst Quieted the Turbulent
 Dave.

Billy Evans, the umpire, who is turning out some interesting off season chatter, tells this one about a former Pony favorite:
 About year ago Dave Altizer of the White Sox made a trip to the coast. Dave had in his possession a wallet that contained over $1,500 of his sal ary- On the train he struck up an ac- quaintance with a young lady who left the train at Salt Lake City. A few hours after her departure Altizer dis covered that his wallet was missing, and he never recovered it. Whether the young lady made the touch or whether some other unkind person re- 1ieved Dave of the mazooma is still a deep, dark mystery; nevertheless, the story got to Tim Hurst and served as @ means to stop Altizer from kicking one day last summer. Tim declared Atizer out on a very close play at second and, naturally, Dave took strenuous exceptions to the decision. In 3. voice that could be heard all over the grounds, he fairly yelled:
 ''He didn't touch mel"
 The crowd began to have visions of a big argument, ending with the prob able expulsion of Altizer from the game. Hurst had no such Intentions. however, and in almost a whisper he replied:
 s'No, I guess not Neither did that young lady touch you last winter while en route to the coast"

sLUeeERs WHO RUNT, TOO.
Cobb, Collins, Crawford and Baker
 Among the Best Sacrifice Hitters.

The bunt or sacrifice hit was in- vented by the famous old Baltimore Orioles, and it was invented and used simply because it was a means to an end in run getting. It helped to ad- vance the runners on the bases and to the heavy sluggers got in their work. It serves the same purpose today, and effectively. The rule which gave the batter who scored a run on a fly to the outfield sacrifice hit helped swell the number of sacrifice hits last year, but even with this the sacrifice hit was used more last year than the year be- fore. And it's use is not confined tG the weak hitter, but, on the contrary, the heavy hitter is usually a good sac riffce hitter and ready to use it when needed. Bush of the Tigers led the American league last season in the number of sacrifice hits, having 52. And Bush can hit the leather, too.
 Cobb, the cOuntry'S premier hitter, son, Crawford 25, Collins 21, Baker 34. These are just a few of the best slug gers picked from the league, which shows that slugging and sacrifices go hand in hand. The Maps, usually among the hardest hitting teams in the league, were notably weak when it came to sacrificing last season. Stovall team last year, and they ranked down about twenty-first among the best sac rifice hitterS in the league. While the baseball fan likes to see the leather walloped off the ball, still at the same time he will rise up on his hind legs and yell when a player lays down neat bunt and advances a runner or useful one, and one which is here to stay.

GuNRoAT SMITH FOR

The Navy Champion That Put Jack Johnson to the Mt-Wants Some of the Rough Stuff With the Big Fell lows,

 Jack Johnson was training to fight stanley Ketchel abotu this time, and he ran shy of dubs to pummel, so he sent for Gunboat Smith. Now Gun boat Is not the sort who when sent TOT cannot come. He visited John tha the Texan in roughing it with the naval lad had been cracked on the jaw with right hand swing and taken a nap on the floor of the gym.

Young Peter Jackson, the smoke from the vil- lage of Baltimore, who is rated as one tough fellow, was then matched with Smith.

 He is not after the champions, Jeff and Johnson, on the jump, and he would prefer Montana Jack Sullivan, but in case they want him to meet Al Kaufman or Jack O'Brien, Gunboat is willing to do the trick.
