Bonus Bad for Players,
Declares Eastern Critic

An eastern paper prints these few
little jabs on the question OF giving
the athlete q bonus:
The class OF players who will not
give the full extent OF their ability
without a bonus promised at the end
OF the season Is a very poor lot and
does baseball no good.
The salary named by a club owner
and agreed to by the player should
be In itself sufficient award to make
q player do his best without the own
er being forced to hold out the prom
ise of an additional sum contingent
on that player satisfactorily meeting
the requirements OF his contract.
Yet every winter every club in the
country Is obliged to hold out what is
virtually baseball "tip" to the NAL
contents of the profession In order to
get them to sign.
IL Is bad practice and against the
spirit Of baseball. A contract Is a
sacred instrument. but not so regard

However, Danny Mcmahon Is con.

that Hudson Is much improved boy,

rings at the conclusion of the eighth
round tonight.
There is apt to be something doing

Mcfarland Can
Show Knockout

NEW YORK, Jan. 1s.-"The best
lightweight in the business" This
is New Yorks verdict on Packey Nc.
Farland, who last night knocked out
Jack Goodman, the west side boxer.
IN the fifth round of their scrap at
the Fairmont Athletic club. Known
to be as clever as the cleverest, Nc
Farland bobbed up with an unexpect-
ed knockout punch. which Just about
completes the repertory needed for
champion.
Goodman was beaten all the way.
He reached McFarland's face q num-
Der of times. but Packey shook or his
blows without apparent concern. IN
the fifth the stock yards lad went
after Goodman In whirlwind fashion
and within a few seconds had him
going for q count Of nine. When he
arose he tried to retreat. but McFar-
land was on him with 6 finishing
crash to the jaw.
The clubroom was packed to the
doors and everyone proclaimed the
Chicagoan as the coming champion
providing Wolgast ever hooks up with
him.

Pitching Easy,
Says Hank O'Day

CHICAGO, Jan. 1S.-"Hank" O'Day,
premier umpire Of the National
league, declares that IL his eyes are
sc bad he cannot continue to ect as
field Judge, he will break back into
the game as a pitcher again. O'Day,
who has been visiting President Muir
ply, OF the Cubs, was engaged In a
tanning bee with Ted Sullivan. the
veteran baseman manager. For years
O'Day was a pitcher on the Washing
ton club when Sully was manager.
II might not be able to get into
condition as quickly as In the old
days." declared O'Day, "but i still be-
lieve I could sell some Of these young
fellows an assortment Of curves that
would do them whole lot Of good
O'Day expressed disapproval OF the
plan to take the umpires south on the
spring training trips, 80 they could
get In practice" He said he thought
II would be bad policy to have the
players and umpires mixing with
each other before the season opened.

SPEED SKATERS
HERE ON FRIDAY
Cracks From Canada and This Coun
try Will Compete at the Detroit
l@ Arena.

Until this year II has been impos-
sible to schedule regular circuit for
the championship ice races because
only few cities had artificial Kinks.
This year, however. Chicago and De-
troit added skating places which do
not have to depend upon the weather,
and as q result the speed boys have
been booked solid for this week.
They will be in Detroit Friday night,
appearing at the Arena. The events
are under the auspices of the Inter
national Skating association and are
for championships in the various
classes. The detailed program will
be announced Thursday. The skaters
are in Cleveland tonight and tomor-
row, and opened the week In Chicago.
A whole flock Of Canadians together
with q lot of Yankees will complete.
Fred Robson, of Toronto, brings a
stable including Lot Roe, dominion
champion, Harry Legge and Harry
Cody. Il. L. Wheeler and A. Mason
will represent the Montreal Athletic
club.
A number OF Yankee skaters COM
ing include w. G. Schwartz, the Penn
sylvania champion; A j. Hess, the
Ohio champion; Carl Ahlroth, the
western champion, and c. T. Fisher,
the Wisconsin champion.
Edmund Lamy, the amateur cham
pion of America, is expected Friday
from Cleveland with his brother Err
nest. Lamy lives at Saranac Lake,
N. Y.
The meeting will be held at the
Arena Friday night and competent
officials will be In charge. The races
promise to be the biggest outdoor
event of the winter.

Game Is Faster,
Ayers Latham

Arlie Latham Is one old-timer who
believes baseball Is faster than it used
to be, and he gives number OF good
reasons.
ITO begin with, there was never a
pitcher In Mathewson's class" said
Arlie, "and there are more good pitch
ers than when l played. The deport-
ment Of the players Is another proof.
The old boys had to be sober enough
To play and that was about all. Let
one of today's stars come around with
q strong breath and he Is fined or sus-
pended and sometimes both"
Latham went on to name wherein
baseball has improved:
The batters work for runs instead
OF hits.
Old-timers turned to right of first
base, while the game today Is to turn
to the left, to go on to second In case
of tumble.
The systematic records enable
pitchers to study batters closer.
Fielding Is better by improveo
equipment.
The fielders have asgreater knowl-
edge of the individuality Of batters.

CUB PITCHER TAKES LONG
CHANCE WITH CONTRACT

Chicago, Jan. 1S.-Charley Muir
ply, president of the Chicago Cubs,
is proud today because he has proof
that Barney Dreyfuss, Of the Pirates,
is not the only man who has gained
the confidence of his pitchers. Harry
Mcintyre, the pitcher, blew into Cub
headquarters from Dayton, o., where
he has been alternating throughout
the winter, to sign his contract
"Have you got enough confidence to
sign q blank contract?" asked Muir
ply.
II haven't broken my arm yet" an
swered Mcintyre, and the blank con-
tract was signed. Then Murphy filed
In the sum, and Mcintyre assumed q

Not one OF them; yet there are as

HEAV|Es STRIVE
OVER TWO HOURS
Hack Finally Wears Down 0rdeman
After a Long, Hard
Struggle.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Jan. 49,
Completely exhausted by the terrific
strain. Henry Ordeman. American
wrestling champion, was defeated this
morning In finish wrestling match
by George Hackenschmidt, the Rus
sian Lion. The first fall came after
hours S7h minutes of the most des-
perate struggling, while Ordeman,
worn out, lost the second fall In "a
minutes. The bout did not conclude
until 2 o'clock this morning.
Hackenschmidt won easily because
he had the greater endurance. Twice
he picked Ordeman up bodily and
slammed him to the mat, but each
time the latter rolled away. The third
time proved too much and Ordeman's
shoulders we're pinned to the mat.
After ten-minute intermission, the
second fall was wrestled, but Orde-
man was "all in and fell readily.
Ordeman, who lost to Hecken-
schmidt, is matched to meet Zbyszko.
the Polish champion, before the VOL
VERNE Athletic club In the Light
Guard armory, Monday, Jan. %. The
fact that Hackenschmidt had to work
until after o'clock In the morning
stamps Ordeman as one OF the really
great heavyweights. His opponent
here, Zbyszko, has shown conclusively
that he Is contender.

hard spring trip is fine thing DOM
for the club owner and for the TO
cruit.
"You can't tell SO much about q ball
players ability until you live with
him" Lowe says. The recruit may
be a little backward. he may lack self
assertiveness and II you don't stay
with him day In and day out you are
liable to think he has no nerve. l am
convinced that lot OF good baseball
talent is overlooked through this TACT
every spring. yet the recruit and the
manager are not TO blame. The re-
cruit can't help 1t II he has a dispose
ton OF that kind and the manager
has SO many men on his hands that
he cannot give much time to each indi-
yidual. Therefore, l believe that the
long trip for the second team, playing
games daily against Glass ana
Class B league clubs. is mighty good
thing"
Lowe Just about voices the sentf
ments OF Navin and Jennings, so the
y ngsters will be paraded through
Dixie and the southwest on q jaunt
longer than usually taken by De-
troit team. They will be under the
direction of Bill Donovan, pitcher,
scout, ETC., while Lowe himself may
be sent along TO see how the rockies
perform. In this way any latent base
ball talent will be brought to the sur
face at once.
his sort of policy resulted in
Bris Lord sticking In the major league
last season and In landing with a
worlds champion. The writer went
south In the spring in the employ Of
the Cleveland baseball club as special
writer for the Cleveland morning pa
pers and handy man to Manager Sam
kennedy, who also was scout during
the regular league season. Lord play
ed remarkably good baseball, hit hard
and fielded well. As result, when
the first and second teams combined
In New Orleans just before the reyu-
lars started north, Lord was selected
as a regular. He played till midsea-
son with the Maps and was traded to
Connie Mack for Rath and an option
on Joe Jackson. Rath, you recall,
proved a bloomer, but Jackson came
after the Southern league season end
ed and was hailed as q phenom. Like
wise Lord stuck with the Athletics,
participated In the worlds series and
made good showing.
The long jaunt OF the second De-
troit squad Is bound to result In good
and may develop player or two who
otherwise would be relegated to the
minor leagues without further chance
to display his ability.

Lexington Still
Out of Circuit

LEXINGTON, KY, Jan. 1S.-There
Is no chance Of Lexington becoming q
member of the grand circuit this year
according to information given out by
Horace Wilson. secretary OF the Ken
lucky Horse Breeders association TO-
day. Lexington has never been a
member of the major racing circuit
at this time. They prefer to give an
independent meeting as has been the
custom for SO many years.
There is a chance, however, that the
directors will act favorably upon the
request made by the grand circuit
stewards that Lexington start its
meeting one week later next fall In
order not to conflict with Columbus
This matter will be decided upon to
morrow.
