Boobies

Pitcher Groom will again perform
IN the mound Cor the Washington
club this season. 1t was rumored
hat the club would dispose of Bob
who is rather wild on occasions. He
is also unable to stand the jibes of
the rooters at these times. When
right, however, he is a valuable man
to the club.
Out-felder Vincent Campbell has
advised the Pittsburg club of his
permanent retirement from baseball.
He did good work for the club last
year.
President Lynch has appointed
Jack Doyle to a position on his staff
of umpires for the coming season.
President Murphy Of the Chicago
Cubs says that his club will stand
pat on its 1910 lineup. 1t is the
impression around the circuit that
the Cubs will have to hurry this year.
The Minneapolis club will have
only two places to fill those made
vacant by the drafting of Tom
Hughes and Davy Altizer. Killer
has already been signed to fill one
of these, but it is doubtful if Tom
Hughes place will be SO early filled.
The Louisville club got a hard
jolt when Abbaitchio refused to re.
port. They have been trying to fill
Olson's place at second base for
long time, but Abby decided to quiet
the game for good. 8
Charlie Murphy may always be
depended upon to, keep things stirred
up in National league affairs. The
following is quoted from a recent
interview given to New York.
scribe: Lynch isn't a real presi-
dent of the National league at all.
He is BASED by at least three men
and is afraid to say his soul is his
own. That is why there is so much
i'll feeling in our organization. Ban
johnson is trying to rule or ruin.
He wants everybody to bow down
to him. He didn't want to see John
M. Ward elected in Lynch's place
because Ward is fearless and has
brains. Ward would have made
johnson look like a selling platter
in administering the affairs Of the
game. AS it is the National league
must yield to the wishes of johnson
and Comiskey, which is a sorry con-
dition of affairs
Doc Resisting, southpaw pitcher
for the Washington club, has decided
TO quit the game to engage in bust
ness. He is first class pitcher and
his services will be sorely missed by
the Senators.
The Boston Red Sox are at their
training camp in California. This
is long trip and new as well as
expensive experiment for the club
and it remains to be seen whether
their showing this season will justify
repeating the trip. The White Sox
made this California training trip for
the last three years and each time
made poor showing, SO Comiskey
decided to discontinue it.
Manager Dahlen. Of Brooklyn,
says he is not claiming the pennant
for the Superbas, but that he will
have a good ball team and one that
i will not lose SO many games by one
score. This is reasonable state
ment and one that is easily believed,
for Dahlen gets the very best kind
of work out of his men.
Manager Chance of the Cubs has
traded pitcher Pfeffer and inielder
Ingerton to the Boston National
league club for Dave Shean. The
latter will report at the Cubs train
/ ing quarters.
The Pittsburg club has announced
the release of Ham Hyatt to Kansas
City. There are number Of ex- Pr
rates on the Kawville team. "A FAN.

cF!cAGO'S TWO STARS,
 SHEcKARD AND SCHULTZ,
Figured Largely in Winning Nationa
 League Pennant.

"The work of Sheckard and Schuite the past season figured largely in the Cubs winning the National league pennant, according to Artie Hoffman.
 Early last spring foolish stories about
 his days were numbered as a major
 leaguer were printed, but in spite of
 these yarns, said James Tilden had
 one of the most prosperous years of
 his career. His batting was hard and
 very timely, and his fielding beyond
 comparison; in fact. sensational all
 year. Hardly a day passed that he
 didn't make wonderful catch or a
 Spectacular throw and many a game
 was won by none other than the SUD-
 posedly down and out Jimmy. Sheck-
 ard and EverS are two of the best, if
 not the best, leadoff men in baseball today, and only the pitchers of the op-
 posing clubs can tell you how these two men worry them. Few people
 realize Sheckard's worth to a. ball club, but the men on the team are in a position to appreciate him and the re- markabIe plays he pulls off. He rivals Fielder Jones in playing batters and makes the most difficult catches ap- pear easy. As for Schulte, we can't find anything good enough to, say for him. He comprises everything in the makeup of a grand outfie1der. He is
 
 | the easy manner in which he pulls down the longest hits often keeps the fans on the anxious seat, but he was hardly ever known to drop a fly ball and his wonderful throwing arm en- ables him to throw out the fastest men trying to score or take extra bases on hits. Although the easy going Frank is one of the best outfielders in
 baseball, his long suit is hitting them out of the park. He and Beck of Bos- l ton led the National league in home
 runs this year and his most remark | able feat was hitting two home runs over the right field fence one day 1T
 Chicago against New York, the first ot | which cleared the signboard by 2; | feet and was the longest hit ever made | on the Chicago field. (Sheckard also made two home runs in. this game. :, | Of course, there are other great out I fielders but there are few men in the | National league who have as mucT baseball ability in their respective DO.

Large Trading in U. S. Steel and

last bit of earth on his pugilistic grave it is but fair that his honest record should be shown up in the most favor able light possible. Some of Bat 5 performances during his earlier days, when he was alternating as a dish washer and a preliminary Scrapper, are a trif1e obscure. One thing is sure, the boy was always out to win.
 Nelson took part in something like 26 battles that were labeled 4'no de- cision" and exhibition bouts" He lost seven decisions, was stopped by Ad Wolgast and knocked out by Owen IF decisions and 27 knockouts to his credit He fought 15 draws. There is the work in black and white of the determined Battler who waded through IA years of the hardest kind of fight ing Hard because he was usually forced to take good beating before he had his man worn down to a point where he finally had to succumb before the Danes stamina.
 The fighting spirit of the old warrior refuses to be strangled. It would be better for him were he to turn his hand to his numerous business enterprises and stay away from the ring. Don't be too harsh in your criticism of the veteran, though; just remember those 13,3SO wallops that he has endured. He yet You remember how John l.. Sul- livan, hog fat after a long likeness pre- cedtng his losing bout with Corbett, came out with a statement that he still had one good fight left in him. This slow suffocation of a fighters hopes and ambitions is but a part of the game.

THROWING AWAY. A CHAMPION
By ". A. PheIon

T don't like to read anything about Jack Johnson" says Johnny Connors once a bantam fighter and now the big noise in the sporting and political lines at Springfield, III. Tn fact, I -have to skip the sporting pages, now adays, because you cannot find a sport page without some reference to Jack Johnson, and I feel compelled, when ever I read of him, to hand myself three swift. severe aud successive kicks.
 '-On account of my antipathy to the black race and my sorrow over the rout at Reno, you say? Oh, no. Not that at all. BUT, kind stranger. lis ten, and then you'll understand. Along in the dim past-1S99, to be exact-I was running a little fighting club in Springfield. One night, to give pleasure to my friends and patrons, added a battle-royal to the regular programme-one of those free for all affairs where you throw five or seven coons in the ring and they slay one another till only one can survive. The coons, on this occasion. had been har> vested from the highways and by ways, mostly byways, by one of my underlings, and I never saw them till | they assembled in the ring. Seven large negroes fought like wild men that night, but only one was on his feet five minutes after the open | ing gong. He was a tall, lean, hun gry looking black, and, oh gracious. | how he did battle! Six eoons lay slain around his ample feet, and when I l handed him the price of victory he was the most grateful African you | ever saw.
 | This long colored man looked good | to me, and l decided that here was l a chance to make a killing. Up in Chi | cago, at this time, burly black called l Klondike had been doing wonders, and I wired my old friend Paddy Carroll, ! who had a fight club. that I had a | black demon I'd like to match with | Klondike The match was ratified by wire, and I started right up with the l new found champion of the Zulus. l "The fight that followed proved an awful blow to me. My new champ die nobly for a couple of rounds. Then | he began to weaken. Klondike kep1 | after him like devil. and in the sixth
 round the lean and hungry coon whom
 I had brought from Springfield sank l to the floor, unable to go on.
 l T was furious. Meeting him in the ] dressing room, I called him a quittel 1 and lemon, and told him to shift fol himself-that I was through with him

BAT STOPPED 13,3so
 WALLOPS IN 94 FIGHTS.
Durable Dane Had Wonderful Record
 Both at Receiving and Giving Pun. ,ishment,

Battling Nelson was one of the gamest men that ever stepped into a pair of fighting trunks. A ring fan who is of a mathematical turn of mind has just figured out that Bat assimi- lated 13,3S0 blows during the IA years he was in the ring. Add to this state- ment the fact that the Dane Is still begging for another crack at Ad Vol gast and you will get a pretty fair idea of Nelson's courage.
 The Batt1er's wonderful endurance, when reduced to cold figures, reads something like this: From 1S96 until today Nelson was one of the sturdy principals in e4 hard fought ring en- gagements. These 94 bouts equa11ed a total of 66s rounds. Bat, never @ clever boxer, was always an easy mark for his opponents to hit. It is doing him no injustice to assume that the average number of blows he has stood up under in each round would equal 20. Multiply the total number of rounds by this av- craze of 30 and the answer is that the Dane has received 13,380 jolts. punches and wallops on the head, face and body.
 The lightweight champion is a marvellous man. and in heaping this

intercollegiate A. A. Committees Make Recommendations - New Rules About Hurdle Races.

New York, Jan. 15.-f the recom- mendations of the advisory and exec utice committees is approved at the coming meeting of the Intercollegiate Athletic association of America, fresh men for the first time will be barred from the annual track and field cham pionship games. At a meeting here to- day, called for the purpose of discuss ing. proposed amendments, the joint committee decided to vote unanimous ly for the change of the constitution.
 Numerous other amendments were agreed upon for adoption. One of these is the incorporation of the Amateur Athletic union relay racing rules into the intercollegiate constitution. In hurdle races it is proposed to make another change, whereby an athlete who knocks down three or more hur- dies will be disqualified. A competi- tor who trails a leg or foot alongside a hurdle shall also be declared out.

BITS OF SPORT.

Ty Cobb hit for an average of .556
 against Russell Ford of the Highland
 CTS last season.
 Rhoderick Wallace, shortstop on the
 St. Louis American league baseball
 team was named as manager of the
 club by President R. L. Hedges Sat
 urday Wallace will succeed John O'Connor. who was released by Hedges soon after the close of the last sea- son.
 In regard to the statistics which show that since 1872, when baseball records were first kept, 4,000 batsmen have faced league pitchers, with only 450 of them batting 300 or more, we merely wish to state that the pitchers always have been pretty wise guys, anyway.
 Pete Noonan, once a Cub catcher, but traded to the Cardinals some years ago, will coach the Catholic univer- vity of Washington again next spring. His work there last year was a suc- cess. Peter will graduate from the Georgetown law school next June, and | it is likely he will have nothing more I to do with baseball.
 l Iver Olson, the young shortstop of | the Maps, secured from the Portland, l Ore, team for next year. is the most l highly spoken of young player that 1 the Cleveland club has picked up, ex- | cept Joe Jackson. for some years. Ol- | son is 25 years old and was a bank l clerk in Kansas City, Kan. He stole l 39 bases for the Portland team last year, which is a good record. The Maps are without a good man 1 to lead off in the batting order. Man 1 ager Jim McGuire is puzzling more over how he will send his men up next | season than about anything else. l Terry Turner is about the best man l to lead now in the team, but he is
 not considered good to start the list even though he should bat better this year than he has done in the past.
