The party. OF speed skaters to race

Detroit at noon today, having come
from Cleveland on q special Pullman.
The party 10 In charge OF Allan !.
Blanchard, OF Chicago, president or
the Western Skating association.
Mr.. blanchard Ia enthusiastic over
the popularity that skating has enjoy
ed during the last year or two. He
believes the sport In which he IL in
terested particularly will develop In
to one OF the leading pastimes for
winter.
The artificial rink has brought
Ice skating before the public In this
part OF the country stronger than
anything else,' Mr.. Blanchard says.
"A few years ago We had to depend
upon the weather for ice. but with
large Kinks In Boston, New York,
Cleveland. Chicago and Detroit, the
condition Of the weather has nothing
to do with our meets.
I'm Canada and In the northwest, ice
racing has long been recognized as q
leading form OF sport. but In this Sec
ton II has been a little more back
ward In obtaining foothold. Visits
like those of the Canadian and Ameri-
can champions to the principal cities
CT the east and middle west Will
probably help much to popularize
speed racing"
Mr.. Blanchard himself il one of
the best fancy skaters In the coun-
try and will give an exhibition be-
tween races at the Arena this eve-
ming. The program for the race meet
includes four events which will be
run in ten heats. Racing commences
at s o'clock.

Tom Lynch Sees Big Year For Baseball
National President Tells Tip Wright
How He Views Outlook for
1911 and It's Very
Rosy.
Says Day Will Come When Pennant
Races Will All Be Very
Close.

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-There Is one
office In New York where oaseoai
scribes are as welcome as chitlsns 10
a darkey-and II YOU don't appreciate
this comparison ask the nrst member
of the order OF Pullman porters about
chitlins and measure his grin.
Said Office IL tenanted by Thomas
j. Lynch, president OF the National
league, and Secretary John Heydler.
They are great team. Lynch ana
Heydler. able, affable and authorita-
tive.
Mr.. Lynch--he's Tom to the sport
writers-is as cheerful an optimist
as you'll find with a search warrant.
Compared TO the average New York
er he's like ray Of sunshine In fog
filed canyon. He has none OF the
freshness so apparent 10 the visitor
in Lii Old New York, where, not to
plagiarize, every fifth man is hick
and the balance are cold storage
plants for affability.
II you don't see past Lynch's pro
fessional front acquired in the days
when he was the best umpire') you
are apt TO be fooled. But close In
spection will show a twinkling eye
and a smile lurking around the cor
ners of his mouth. and then you know
this square jawed man isn't half so
fierce as he looks. That jaw, by the
way, explains how Tom Lynch
squelched the rowdies in the old days
and why he is president in the face
OF opposition. IL spells fight.
At that the league made mistake
by Il electing him for term OF five
or ten years. Maybe next winter the
discontents will see through a ladder
and vote for longer term.
| call Tom Lynch a cheerful OPP
timist, to play 1t double. He doesn't
see anything but the bright side OF
every little thing And when a man
can lock horns with that bunch In the
National league and emerge with a
smile, he views the world through
rose-hued glasses.
81 looked for a splendid year In
baseball" said Lynch. Not startling
" original, perhaps. Others have said
II. but IL proves that the big boss
looks upon the sunny side. And
Lynch speaks by the card when he
talks baseball. He has the facts.
There Is every reason why the

Gus, interest In the game was stimu-
lated by splendid contests every
where. and pennants were won In
some leagues by teams which had not
finished In front in 1909.
''Aii OF these things will help make
1911 a boom year. For instance, the
success OF the Athletics In the world s
series, while not pleasant for the Ma
tional league. will act as an impetus.
The loss will stimulate the National
league to win back the world s
title this year, and reasoning along
the same lines, the American league
can be expected to tighten up.

"A close race increases patronage.
When the day comes that sees eight
well-balancad clubs in one organiza-
ton the interest will be wonderful.
Every year there has been an in
crease In the aggregate attendance.
One league may fall back little, but
this is usually due to something that
can be remedied. The National
league played to 3.705,574 last season,
breaking all records. but don't think
over-estimate when ! say this fig-
ure will be doubled In a few years.
The magnificent establishments
devoted to baseball In many cities
speak eloquently of the strides the
game has made. There Is room for

fact that baseball is a refined pastime
is attested by the thousands OF wo-
men patrons. Imagine women at the
games Is years ago.
Baseball men appreciate that a win
ner Is a big money maker. But the
game has become so fast that II is

day when leagues will take the field

Jennings Fine Work
Pattern For Wallace

baseball Is known. Then there were
many long seasons before another
shortstop became leader.
That was when Hughie Jennings
became a manager after his arm was
hopelessly lost And Jennings his
done fairly well, thank you. since he
became a manager. Wallace takes up
the managerial burdens better equip
ped than was Jennings. For Hughes
arm was gone when he became a
leader of the Tigers, while there is
not the slightest indication Of failure
of the famous Wallace whip.
The careers of Wallace and Jen-
nings ceased being a player and be
came a manager, were not dissimilar.

Lamy, however, attributes his de-

When Jennings was with Louisville
and with Baltimore he was the
mechanical player, pure and simple
But 1t was McGraw and Kelley and
Hanlon who were credited with be
ing the brains of the old Orioles.
Jennings then, like Wallace up 10
now, was never seen on the coach
ing lines.
He was a fend on the defensive,
and lined the mout at bat something
after the manner of Wallace. But he
was the quiet player of the famous
four-McGraw, Kelley, Keller and
Jennings. He was content to stay in
the background, do his work in =
masterful way, just as Wallace has
ever done, but when the time came
for him to direct the movements oil
his players he was not found want
ing.
Wallace has just as much to war
rant him making good as manager az
Jennings had. Who, having watch
ed the incompatible shortstop dur
ing his 13 years engagement in St
Louis canrecall his making a dumb
play?
Rather odd that shortstops never
took first rank as leaders, isn't IT.
They have always been stars? From
the time of old Ed Williamson n
team was ever a success but tho
shortstop was star of the first mag
nitude.
There Is every reason why the
shortstop should be the best equip
ped man on the team for the leader
He is the pivot for the greatest mum
Der of plays. He covers more ground
than any player on the team, not
even excepted the outfielders. He
is ever In the thick OF the fray, and
must be more alert and think quick
er than any other player.
