BASEBALL scouts life is not

A BASEBALL scouts life is not
IA always what it Is cracked UP
to be, according to Larry SUIT
ton, chief scout of the Brooklyn club.
Riding in hot, dirty trains, sleep
ing under mosquito MEETINGS, especially
in Texas and the Southern hotels, and
eating poor cooking Iii the warm, sultry
weather, are not an easy. life by any
means. An Idea of how MI. Sutton
travelled last year may be CLEANED from
the following list, which shows where
ne picked up some of the players who
are showing great form with Brooklyn
and are beng touted all over the coun-
try as the best crop of youngsters IN
the majors this spring: Pitcher Ryan
was picked up from st. Paul, Mimi;
Pitcher Schardt from Milwaukee, wis;
Pitcher Burke from Fort Worth. Tex;
Infelder Stark from Dayton, O.; In
fielder QuiIlan and Outfelder Myers
from .Siuox City. Ia; Outfelder Dali
ton from Des Moines, Ia; Pitcher
Atcheson from Wichita, Kan, and
Thirdbaseman Eddie Zimmerman from
Newark.

Leo Berlow, the Orange wrestler, in
q letter he has Just sent out. says he
has not decided to do any further pro-
t~essional wrestling, and an explana-
ton Is due as to how a story came to
be printed in this paper regarding the
issuing Of 6 challenge by him.
Louis Rosenthal, of this city, who is
considered a close friend of Berlow, by
the latter received a number of visits
from the Orangeite regarding the secur-
ing OF wrestling matches, and finally
Leo sent him q letter, which was read,
asking him to try n arrange a match
for him with George Bothner, the light
weight champion, for a side bet or
some. other arrangement. Then the
EVENING STAR. was asked to pub

Abe AttelI has refused to make 116
pounds for Johnny .Coulon. and is now
trying to be allowed to weigh in at 100
pounds, instead Of lis. for his fight
with frankie Burns. the Jersey City
boy, at the National Sporting Club.
Attelps anxiety about the Burns weight
shows his decline, we think. He chal-
ienged Burns from the ring the night
frankie beat Stanley. and thought he
could make the weight without hurting
himself. Training, however, has proven
to Abe that he is not as good as for
merly.
A striking example OF the hold that
baseball has on the average American
youth may be seen in New York at
noon when scores of office boys and
office clerks unable to toss n catch
a baseball on crowded business streets
have been handling the horsehide on
: roofs OF the sky -scrapers. Some of the
bows even take bats and bunt the ball
and run bases. thirty and forty stories
above the street.
