Kennedy worked hard.

1t is doubtful in my mind If there is
a more sincere or capable scout en-
ployed by any club than Sam Kennedy,
of the Cleveland Maps.
Scouting Is and always will be largely
a matter of luck. Often a man who
stars as a minor fails absolutely in
faster company. while many a busher
who has been pronounced unpromising
has shown such latent ability in the
majors that he has been a sensation.
At the American League meeting, Sam
Kennedy was showing me a notebook in
which he had the names of probably 200
players who had been touted to him and
he makes II a practice to follow their
work. day by day, until convinced that
an inspection trip is necessary or de-
cides that the men will not do.
Once he Is impressed by the player in
action he quietly goes about town try
ing TO learn something of the mans con-
nections and his habits. After this If he
makes up his mind that a player will
do he closes deals without delay.
II anyone has any improvement to
offer on this system l WOULD like to
know of il.

"Epery Knock Is a Boost"

Flynn is confident.
1t is questionable il there is player
who will be with any ball club next sea-
son who is more determined on the ques-
tion Of making good that is Jack Flynn,
who has Just signed with the Pittsburg
Pirates.
Flynn, who is here studying law at
Georgetown, realizes that in his work
last year he fell considerably below the
standard that was expected of him, but
when he goes South with the club next
month, it will be with the understand
ing that he is willing to either play first
base or go behind the bat in order to
convince Pittsburg fans that Fred
Clarke made no mistake in paying $4,000
for his release from st. Paul.
Flynn will carry with him the best
wishes of the many friends he has made
siEce he entered Georgetown.

Geers to Hot Springs.

Ed Geers. the veteran handler Of trot-
ting horses, will inaugurate a new fad
among drivers by going TO Hot Springs
In order to condition himself for a
strenuous season on the Grand Circuit.
Geers has just celebrated his sixtieth
birthday, and is Of the opinion that If
he can take off some weight he will be
even more valuable than during the last
few years on the harness horse courses.
For years veteran ball players have
made It a custom to go to Arkansas
early in the spring, but Geers' idea is
a new one.

from Honesdale, Pa. that a pitcher by
the name of Schuerhoz had signed a
Washington contract, there was the
usual amount of interest in the young
man, but in response to inquiries Jimmy
McAleer has wired the following:
"Schuerholb is Sherry, who pitched
drafted from that club"
so IN a few words the great mystery
is unfolded.

LAnigan is capable.

One Of the best things Ed Barrow
has done during the short time he has
been president of the Eastern League
was the selection OF Ernest Lanigan as
secretary.
AS writer on a New York paper, Lani-
gan showed his thorough knowledge Of
baseball, and, possessing a pleasing
personality and executive ability he
should be most valuable bower to Bar

Penn is wise.

AT this time when the football situa-
ton at Pennsylvania is so unsettled, the
athletic authorities have made no mis-
take in retaining Andy Smith as head
coach.
During his two years on the job. Smith
has demonstrated that he Is familiar
with every detail of Penn's system of
gridtron tactics, and If he does not have
another good team next fall It will be
because Of the lack Of proper material
or some unfortunate accidents.

output will be below the former fig
ure, yet the belief is general that the
output is one of the largest, if not the
largest in the history of the crop.
So great is the crop that picking is
being carried on by moonlight. The
bright southern moon in the fall of
the year turns the night into day and
picking is greatly facilitated because
of the absence of the heat of the day.
Pickers are paid by piece work and
all negroes physically able, go into
the fields in the early morning and
remain at work until late in the
night, or until the moon is obscured.
This tremendous picking is crowd
ing the ginneries, which are working
night and day, yet despite this much
of the cotton can not be handled, the
holdover being stored in the seed.
Many estimates are made as to the
Texas crop. the total averaging
around 100000. It is believed it
will take 100000 to finance the
Texas crop.

CONGRESS- ADJOURNS MARCH 4.

Washington, Jan. 17-Republican
senate leaders today are trading
upon the prospect of New Mexico,
with a reactionary constitution, win
ming, and Arizona with a progressive
constitution losing the struggle for
immediate statehood AS New Mexico
is Republican and Arizona Democra-
tic, they predict that the prospective
Republican majority Of eight in the
senate will be changed to 10 before
next December.
New Mexico will have its constitu-
tion in the hands of President Taft
for approval by the middle of Febru-
ary Arizona cannot get the result
Of the vote on its consDitution to
Washington before congress adjourns
March A. New Mexicans predict
their state will go into the flag by
July A.
In the New Mexican constitution
there is no hint of such things as
nomination by popular vote, the re-
call, the initiative or the referendum.
1t is regarded as certain that the
president will approve it Arizonas
constitution, on the contrary, pro-
vldes even for the recall Of Judges by
districts, and it is not thought the
president will approve of it hastily.
