MANY NEW TRICKS
TRIED EVERY YEAR
The Other Side Always Formulates q
Defense and Offsets Results,
However

When the original designers Of a
baseball diamond made the distance
between the bases ninety feet they
put a problem up to the coming gen.
erations that for forty years has puz-
zled the brains Of the greatest stu
dents of the national game. And 1t
appears that these men have about
reached the limit of their genius, des-
pite the fact that Charles Ebbets says
the game is still in it's infancy.
The pioneers in the game Of base
ball little knew on what fine lines
they were figuring when they fixed the
distance between the bases. The
distance was based on their calcula-
lions as to how long it would take a
batted ball to be fielded and thrown
to first base. The speed Of the run
ner was also taken into considera-
ton. The accuracy of their calcu-
lations is proven by the fact that
they have not been changed one fota
since the first gene was played by
the old Knickerbockers on the greens
around New York.
As the runners developed In speed
the fielding developed with them,
and the bone of contention-90 feet
lis yet beyond the possession OF
either party to the struggle.
Scheme to Kill Sacrifice
Every year some inventive genius
discovers move by which either dls-
lance or speed can be overcome, but
as fast as they execute their plan the
other side formulates plan OF de-
Tense and offsets 1t. While first base
is the initial objective point Of all
baseball endeavor, it is merely the
basis for future calculations. The
showing Of the men around the bases
is what tangles the brains of think
ers. The sacrifice hit was first In
vented to advance q man even at the
cost of putting man out. but the
defensive side Of the game came right
back with schemes to kill the sacri-
fee.
The players have become SO accur-
ate in making everyday plays that
the thinker can calculate accurately
on Just what they are going to do
under ordinary circumstances. He
then sets about to create an extraor-
binary circumstance which, as rule.
ID effective until 1t becomes no longer
extraordinary through familiarity
with it's workings.
During the last twenty years the
game has brought out many geniuses.
Those who stand out prominently are
John McGraw. Johnny Evers, Fred
Clarke. Frank. Chance. Tommy Leach.
Hughey Jennings, Ty Cobb. Connie
Mack, Joe McGinnity, Jack Dunn and
Sammy Strang.

LANGFORD HAS A
LONG WAIT AHEAD
johnson Is in a Position to
Make Rival for Champion
ship Fret a Good Deal

San Langford, the Boston black
bird, did not have a particularly hard
time defeating his old rival, Joe Jean
cite. before Boston club recently.
The contest lasted the sceduled If
weary at the bell, and Langford prob
ably would have stopped him had
there been couple more rounds to
go. This made the sixth time Lang
ford and Jeanette clashed in the ring.
On the first occasion jeanette won In
eight rounds, then Langford secured
fifteen round decision which was
followed by two twelve-round draws,
and six-round, no decision affair.
Tuesdays fight proved conclusively
that Langford is Jeanette's superior,
and that next to johnson. Samuel Is
today the most dangerous negro per-
former in the game. OF course this
means more trouble for johnson.
The latter, in reply to Langford's re-
peated challenges, always told him to
go and whip jeanette, and on one oc-
casion even offered to back jeanette
against Sam. Having beaten Jean
cite decisively, Langford will camp
persistently on Johnson's trail, II on
ly for the sake Of the advertising OBJ
tanned thereby. 1t is all Langford is
likely to get out Of his challenges to
the champion for q long time to
come, because johnson has made up
his mind to take life easy for many
months. His theatrical contracts
extend over an indefinite period. he
will be making much coin and having
jolly roaring time Of 1t. and his
challengers can 60 fight among them
selves II they are aching for scrap.
Also, now that Langford has showed
jeanette out Of his path, 1t is a moral
cinch that Johnson will grin and bid
him destroy Kaufman before ventur-
ing to ask for chance at the cham
pionship. Hard lines on Sam. but
after all he has 1t coming to him, as
far as Kaufman is concerned. Most
people believe that he fiunked out Of
that Philadelphia match with Delaneys
man, and until he exchanges wallops
with big AL they will continue to as
sert that he is q trifle scared Of the
giant Californian.

CRICKET PLAYERS
EXCEL AS BATTERS
Ball Players Do Not Compare With
the Wielders Of the Big Stick in
Cricket

Cincinnati, Sept. 1--we laugh and
giggle at the English cricketer. His
game with the hop-stick bowler. the
little wicket sticks, the fiat bat and
the backward and forward running.
seems hilarious to the Americans
and the biggest laugh Of all is over
the length of time 1t takes to play a
match. Still. every game has it's good
qualities and even cricketers can show
us something now and then. The
English cricketer has a good batting
eye. OF course. he doesn't often get
such speed served up to him as the
American baseball batsman every
day. Still It Is pretty sight to see
the Englishman pick them of, and in
just one particular the Briton can
make the American look like bunch
Of six nickels inferiorly stacked.
That is in the cracking Of low balls
shoots which come down Just like the
drop or spit ball and which in base
ball drive the batsman frantic. Ever
watch cricket game with good bat

and see how they step into the down.
shoots, and how they swat them to
the extreme end of the adjoing seen
cry. The Englishman has through
generations cultivated a low cut at
q falling ball, and he doesn't miss
very many: As the ball drops he
rakes almost along the ground and
the globule goes like the bullet from
q iiigh-power gun. It would pay
team to hire high power cricket
shark for q couple Of weeks just to
teach the boys the secret Of that
sweep against low ball. A team
that had been drilled In that way for
q little while could simply lombard
the life out Of the spitball pitchers,
and would get q running start on all
its competitors. A few years ago 1t
will be remembered, . team Of Aus
tralian ball players visited us. and
played large number Of games all
over the country. The jolly Austria
lians lost most Of their games q their
pitchers were easy and they hadn't
learned anything Of inside play or.

ond. That was many years ago, but
1t Is still used with good results.

As q matter Of fact there have been
very few new plays during the last ten
years. most Of them being merely var
iations of an old one. Still it is in
teresting to watch the gradual devel-
opment to what looks to us now like
perfection.
After all, the scientific perfection
of base running will lead only to one
thing. The teams will become so
evenly balanced in that art that the
winning strength will fall back on
the old proposition as to which has
the best hatters. Batting is the milk
of the baseball cocoanut.

HARVARD WONT
MEET PRINCETON
Chances For the Two Teams
Getting Together This
Year Slim as Ever

No football season would be COM
plete without the publication of that
old rumor announcing the early re-
newal Of football relations between
Harvard and Princeton. Every year
1t crops up, either at Princeton or
Cambridge, usually the former. 1t
has now been doing duty for dozen
years or more and there Is no evil
dence that the game is any nearer
reality now than ever. The latest re-
vival of the rumor credits Harvard
with the intention of dropping Darts
mouth to make room on her schedule
for Princeton.
Those who are really informed as
to the state Of intercollegiate football
politics do not need the denial from
Harvard. According to Harvard au-
thorities there is not the slightest
chance of game with the Tigers at
present. II 1t were possible to take
on big opponents every week Harvard
could meet all Corners. But as long
as football remains the strenuous
game 1t is. three championship con-
tests are ALI any big team can play
in single season.
This fact of itself would be suffi-
cient to exclude Princeton from Har-
wards schedule. The Crimson now
has games scheduled with Cornell,
Dartmouth and Yale. These three
games occupied the last three Satur-
days of her schedule. An October
date would be unacceptable to both
Harvard and Princeton. In order,
therefore, to arrange game with
Princeton it would be necessary for
Harvard to drop either Cornell or
Dartmouth.
The Ithicans Stepped In
Prior to 1909. the date of the first
Harvard-Cornell game, there might
have been chance for the Tigers.
Princeton, however, lost her chance
when the Ithican secured the date
which had been held once by Pennsyl-
vania and later by the Indians. After
Harvard had defeated Cornell 10 to 0
in the initial game 1t was freely pre-
dicted that the Crimson would drop
the Ithicans. These prophets, how
ever, ignored the fact that Harvard
and Cornell had been getting closer
together in athletics every year. They
now meet regularly on the grfdiron,
the diamond and the water. The feel
ing between the two is most friendly.
Cornell certainly will do nothing to
mar It. and Harvard Is apparently
satisfied with her new ally. " N
It is evident that Princeton. must
do something soon to strengthen her
football schedule. At present the
Tigers have only single opponent
whose name can draw big crowd.
That opponent is Yale and the pro-
ceeds from this game are principally
what keep the Tigers going financial
w. Indeed. the athletic profits at
: Princeton are only about one-half
those of Yale and Harvard and con-
siderably less than those Of Pennsyl-
vania. The nearest approach to big
games for Princeton, not counting the
Yale contest, are with the Carlisle In
dams, Lafayette and Dartmouth. The
latter game is scheduled for New
York and may draw fair crowd II
the Princeton team is good one. In
the main, however, these games will
be hard ones for Princeton to win
and the financial receipts Of all three
Will not equal those OF the Yale game.

SPORTING NEWS IN GENERAL

Will inquire now the nome athletics
are going and IL the new player hits
to right or left field. He may even
venture the opinion that it's nice
day and that yesterday was nice and
that 1t will be pleasant next week IL
1t doesn't rain. c. Mack is the hu-
man question mark and the informa-
ton sponge.
Cornelius McGillicuddy embellishes
his countenance with studious look
and CARDS his person in ministerial
raiment. His face looks like a week
Of prayer and he's always lust lit
tie down In the mouth" But for the
pictures printed in the daily press he
could walk up the prominent streets
Of eight cities in the American league
and be recognized by less than six
persons. He never appears in con-
nection with ball game.
His Methods Of Living Peculiar
His methods Of living are peculiar.
He goes to the ball yard via street
car, climbs into the grandstand, buys
a score card, surveys the playing sur
face and walks slowly to the bench,
Arriving there he removes his coat,
draws a pencil from his pocket and
makes few marks on the score card.
When the contest begins he sits with
hands on knees, body inclined for
ward and wigwags diligently with the
score card. Occasionally he shifts his
feet, all Of which has great signifi-
canoe for the toiling athlete. After
the game he waits till the crowd
leaves the park, climbs into street
car and returns to the hotel. quietly,
Should the Athletics lose he wears a
look of sadness not unlike the express
sion of the small boy whose yellow
dog has gone astray.
Mack handles his ball players like a
woman teaches children in the kim
dergarten-firmly,k kindly and with ev-
erlasting patience. He can see a
young man coming" further than any
manager in baseball and he'll stick
in the face Of errors and strike outs,
once he makes up his mind the young
man will develop. His players rave
over him, and are satisfied. He has
showed bunch Of youths supported
by a few old heads into. the leading
in the American league and will make
record Of victories SURPRISING any
thing in the history Of Ban Johnson's
organization.
Cornelius Ia No Wizard
Cornelius McGillicuddy is no wiz
ard but he is a close student, and de-
veloped from mediocre catcher into
great manager. When Mack stood
behind the bat for Pittsburg early in
the '9Os, there was no smoothness to
the rear of his fine red neck. He was
as rough as the next. He quit play
ing in 1897. When he assumed the
management of the Athletics in 1901
there was no polished manager in
baseball. c. Mack learned quickly.
There's saying In baseball to this
effect:
"If Connie Mack passed up a player
don't want him."
Rival managers who follow this
tenet are wise. His latest strategy
was trading Maurice Rath and $4,000
900 option on Joe Jackson for Bristol
Lord, outfielder. Lord has played a
consistent game for the Athletics,
Rath went back to the minors after
Cleveland landed him, and jackson
failed to make good the next time he
was in the big league.
