HOW BORROWED OUTFIELDER
 BROKE UP THE GAME
Peoria Manager Too Generous in
 Loaninr Player to White Sox.

Sometimes the situations produced by split training trips are not only strenuous but novel and there always IS rivalry between the two squads to see which can win the greatest num- Der of games first and corral the greatest amount of coin in the sec ond place. Frank Isbell, the Wich- lta fnagnate, never Will forget one sit uauon he faced during the spring he was in charge of the No. squad of White Sox just before he quit the big league.
 The last stop on the schedule was Peoria, and Comiskey had reduced Is- bells forces by disposing of young sters until only nine players were left, when, accompanied by one lone war scribe, the party landed in Peoria on a cold, raw April morning. Roy Pat terson was one of the nine and he had to go to bed imm mediately with d se- were attack of tonsiltis which made it impossible for him to play and crim- = inal to attempt it on such a day.
 Isbell would have welcomed a snow storm or anything to prevent that game except for the fact there was a guarantee of $75 coming to the Sox if it was played, and as nearly as Issy could find out the No. squad needed that $15 to keep ahead of No. squad in receipts for the trip. If the Peo- ria club knew he had only eight avail able players it would declare off the game, of course, and rightfully with hold the guarantee.
 Manager Isbell pleaded with the war scribe to put on Patterson's uniform and look wise in right field for enough innings to get the guarantee, but the scribe was not to be tempted by twice s75. Isbell finally corralled the biggest applicant for the position of batboy who appeared at the hotel and put him in uniform, then went to the ground trying to think what sort of bluff would fool the veteran manager of the Peoria team, Hugh Nicol.
 In the preliminary practice just ',s few flies as possible were batted to the ringer in right field, and while it was in progress Isbe1 slipped over to Manager Nicol on the bench and con fided to him that Comislley had sent only nine men to Peoria, intending tC use a pitcher in right, field, but that the player was too sick to remain out any longer in that kind of weather and he would like as a personal favor to be allowed to send him back tC the hotel right away. He could dc that if Hugh would lend him one o1 the dozen youngsters who were beins tried out for the Peoria club anG wouldn't be needed for that game Nicol, a long time friend of Comis- keys, consented readily to save the health of one of the Old Romans pitchers, as he supposed. He piclSel out a substitute fielder and loaned hin to Isbell.
 In the eighth inning this youngster whose name Isbell had forgotten tC ask fin his delight at the success O his bluff came to bat with the base: full, two out, and the White Sox two runs behind. He didn't do a thing bu soak out two bagger, cleaning up the bases. and scored later on am error. The gift player not only cost tflt Peoria club the s75 guarantee, but tn game as well.

DRIVING IS REAL TEST IN GOLF. But Leneth of Course is Not of Much
 Importance.

Occa sionally the cry goes up, when will the craze for length in golf courses cease?' There was a time and not so qong ago that it did seem as if the links architects were carry ing matters to extremes but that pe- riod has past, and if 8 reaction has not set in the tendency at least is to go no further. If this were not the case there might be some just grounds for the belief that golf stood in dan ger of becoming a slave to the rubber cored ball.
 Charles B. Macdonald, whose eff forts were responsible for the exist ence of the ideal course out among the sand dunes near Shinrecock hills, has always been opposed to extreme lengths. Although the eighteen hole circuit there Is in a sense a reproduc- ton of the most famous holes abroad it is significant that the total length is only a. trif1e more than 5000 yards.
 Because modern players drive fur ther nowadays than golfers of old, it does not necessarily follow that courses should be stretched out sev- eral hundred yards. In discussing the subject recently an expert said:
 "The advent of the lively ball is not the only change in modern condi- tions which needs to be considered One other factor at least equally inn portant is the improvement in the art of green keeping, which makes a good u1e on the 1alrWay a matter O1 course. The result is that brassie shots are few and far between. Ths lies are so good that the second shot really called for is another slog witt the driver.
 Now, the players prowess in this direction is surely sufficiently tested when he plays fifteen or sixteen full shots from the tee in tho course o1 1 the round without 1t being necessary to call upon fHirn to repeat the same stroke through the green. The par five

hole of an earlier day, by demanding d full wooden shot for the second from lies that were often indifferent, tested the real brassie stroke, but tnas has almost disappeared, and the most important test of the wooden club shot through the green is the par four hole
 This is long enough to require a drlV- CT or brasSie to be used for the sec ond shot and yet sufficiently short to admit of that shot being played with some acuracy and judgment In order to bring it to rest on the green.
 The drive is, after all, the simplest, although the most eXhilarating, stroke in golf It is the only stroke in which the player is called upon to do the same thing every time, and to increase the number of such shots tests noth- ing more than the players ability to keep it up. Approach play on the other hand, may be from all distances, from 20 to 200 yards, and calls for all sorts of conditions of strokes and clubs. It provides the most varied test of all, and yet there can never be more than eighteen approach shots called for. though they may easily be twice that number taken in the course of the round. It is the difficult par four holes, especially those which are at the same time bogie fves, which do most to make the would be cham pions show the golf that is in them.

FROM A FISH WAGON
 TO GRAND CIRCUIT TRACKS
Admiral Red, 2o9 IA, Fastest Trotting
 Son of Red Wilkes Now Living.

That fast brown stallion, Admiral Red, 2.09 1-4, who took his record at the last grand circuit meeting at Co., lumbus, was recently bought by Will liam Dagler of Nashville, Ind from R. M. Flick of Kitanning, Pa. This horse has had an interesting career. Several years ago he was sold in New York for SS0 to a. fish dealer, and for years he made his regular rounds pull ing a fish wagon. He finally drifted into the hands of man who found that he had speed and proceeded to develop it. He took a record of 2.1S 3-4 in 1909, and showed so much that he was stalzed the past season in the half mile track events through Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Vir- ginia- Flick saw the horse at one of the early meetings, liked his way of going and bought him at a reasonable price. Over the two-lap rings the horse was practically unbeatable, and Flick realized a tidy sum over and above the purchase price.
 In spite of his obscure surroundings during his early career, Admiral Red is a royalty bred horse, being a son of the famous sire Red Wilkes, out of the great brood mare Tiny Tun, by Victor Bisnark. He is the fastest trotting son of Rcd Wilkes now living, and is also the last of the produce of that famous horse to be raced, at least on the mile tracks.

Miller Huggins. second baseman Of the St. Louis club, received more bases on balls last season than any other player in the National league. The official records compiled by Sec retary John A. Heydler show that Hug gins drew 116 passes in 151 games, while Johnny Evers of the Cubs, who played in 26 less contests, was given los free trips to first and probably was the hardest man in the league to pitch to.

HARRY DAVIS TO BE
 ST. LOUIS MANAGER
Veteran Captain of Philadelphia Ath-
 letics Will Ge West.

Captain Henry Davis, first baseman of the Philadelphia Athletics for near ly ten years, will be the next manager of tho St. Louis Browns. This comes from an authoritative source.
 Tina new owners of the St. Louis club held @ conference with Ben SlTibe after the league meeting last month ir order to get the consent of the own CT of the Athletics to let Davis out to manage the Browns. Sf1fbe did not block the deal, but wanted to wait un- til Connie Mack, manager of the worlds champions. returned from his trip to Europe.
 The worlds championship team lead CT wifi be back in Philadelphia Janu- ary 15, and then the deal will be com pieted. Tfsere is no doubt that Connie will not stand in the way of Davis ad- vancement, and the matter will be ad- justed as soon as he gets back
 It can be stated positively that no offer has been made by the new St Louis owners to Fred Lake.

very fast since he was let out by the Highlanders a. year ago. He is just about the grayest haired man who will wear diamond spangles next year.
 In order to get plenty of work out of his players before the season of 1911 begins, Bill Dahlen, managed of the Brooklyn National league club, ha-s decided to start for Hot Springs as early as Feb. 1.
 Bill Dahlen of the Brooklyn Nation als has already written to George Bell and Nap Rucker, his pet twirlers, to meet him at the Springs about Feb. I. so that they can get their arms in fine trim when the opening game starts.
 Now that the Fletcher azz is all over, Ford will be signed by the Yan- kees at a big increase in salary. Frank Farrell realized the work Ford did last season and the good pitcher he is, and there are no ball players who can say that Farrell did not treat them right when they made good. Ford wti bs doing duty at the old stand next sea- son with no grievances.

TRACK CAPTAINS

Leaders of Harvard and Vale Teams Likely to Watch the Contest from Grandstand.

 his speciality, the broad jump, seems
 out of the question.
 Johnny Mack, the Eli trainer. and Pooch Donovan at Harvard are both
 looking carefully after their star ath-
 letes, but neither is optimistic over the chances of the captains being able to compete in the events in which they are sars.
 At Harvard, Foster may abandon the sprints entirely and take to broad jumping This will be an effort to save
 his brolzen-down leg and utilize him as a possible point winner. At Yale, Fitzpatrick may never make another take-off for a broad jump, but confine his training to the shot-put, where he may be among those who fig ure in the summary making The honor of leading a track team was coming 10 both these athletes, no matter what their prospects for tha coming season may be- on account of their past record
 Two years ago Foster won both sprints in the Dartmouth and Yale dual meets and won the intercollegiate championship in both the 100 and 220- yard da,shes.
 Last year Foster was put out of the running before tho season really be- gan. He was unable to compete in the Dartmouth meet, the Yale meet or the big intercollegiate at Philadelphia l Had the star Harvard sprinter been l in condition at the championships the order of things might have been changed.

 Had Foster competed and taken the sprints as he did in 1909 Harvard's l total would have been 23, Pennsy1va- nia's would have been less and Yale would have won the meet. Fitzpatrick in 1907, when e, freshman at Yale, was a hurdler and won his events. Football crippled him for that speciality and he took to broad jump l ing.
 In 1909 it was his jump of g feet | 2 1-2 inches that returned Yale a. win ner over Harvard, 56 1-5 to 4S 1-4. Had he failed to make it, Little oi l Harvard would have been first, an6 ! Long of Harvard. second. This would | have given Harvard the meet, g 4-i

 l In the intercollegiate of that veal 1 Fitzpatrick was second in the broad 1 jump.
 Then came another sason of football anS in the spring Fitzpatrick tried tt .. <esske up jumping again. He found tina his ankle was too weak, and late il
 the season Johnny Mack put him t.

 He took to it, as he has everythin. else in the atheletic line, and won hi event in the Harvard Yale dual meet with put of 43 feet 1-2 inches. Il the intercollegiate he was fourth.
