SHORT MEN BEST
MEN FOR sHoRTsToPs
Moriarity Thinks Tall Man is Built
Too Far From. the Ground
For the Position.

ZOO Faf from the Ground
For the Position.
New Orleans, La. March 29.-Geo.
Moriarty believes that tall man has
no business trying to play shortstop
or second base in the major leagues,
on account Of the natural handicap
which his heigth imposes on him.
1T Is an advantage to be tall II
a man intends to play first or third,
but handicap at short or second"
said tho custodian of the Tigers hot
corner. "A fellow who is built close
to the ground can make plays that
would be impossible for six footer,
simply because he doesn't have so
far to stoop. H..
Look at the way Ownie Bush goes
over the ground. No tall man could
scurry and make the plays the little
tiger pulls. He is ; in position to
handle the ball while on the dead
run, while taller man would have
to reduce his. speed in order to get
down low enough to pick up a
grounder on a short bound
There are a few tall men who are
good shortstops, I admit. HonLs
Wagner is whale, but he is built Ill
such a peculiar way and has such
bowed legs and long arms tina. he can
get down. to the ball just like a short
man. George Mcbride is tall and is
a fine player. hut there are mighty
few other lengthy boys who arc maxi
ing good either at, short Or on the
keystone sack.
Il like tall first baseman for a
big fellow gives the infielders conf
dance in their throwing. Take loss
man. for instance. When that old
boy was on the bag believe that
could have hit dime if he held it
out. He was the best mark to throw
at that ever / have encountered, and
he could catch the ball when ii came
to him, too. even though he did seem
a bit. ungainly at times. If every
first sacker were as easy tu throw to
as old Ross, and could handle the
ball as we'll, there would be a lot less
inf1eld errors in baseball.

The Grand Forks White Sox, one
Of the best amateur baseball teams in
the city will take the field this year,
stronger by the addition Of new men,
and will endeavor to clean up all
the teams Of the city. The team
played number of fast games in the
city and in other sections Of the state
last year and won nearly all of the
games played.
The first game of the season will be
played April 16, weather permitting,
with the Picketts. The "Sox" say that
they will make the Picketts hustle to
beat them.
The team will be composed of the
following: Torgeson, Hankey, Holmes,
Hohoff, Gainskau, Johonshea, Tierney,
H. Hunter, Bendsend, Politski and
Gunderson. Hankey has been elected
manager of the team and Holmes
captain. The pitching will be looked
after by Torgeson and Tierney. Both

no. New, to see it, hut, pom my word,
might just as we'll have stayed at
home for all real interest there was
attached to the contest From round
until tho referee stopped the match
johnson literally made a chopping
block Of Jeffries, who. I think, was in
no real sort of condition to take the
ring, and who never once looked to
make ghost of chance of beating
the big block"
Is It true that Jeffries was charged
with ,"Quitting?"
yes" said Mr.. Mcintosh. frankly,
Many American openly declared
that the hitherto indicated white
man laid down in most unmistak-
able manner. Whether, however, this
charge was quite justified ] prefer
not to say, but I may at least give
1t as my opinion that the best pleased
man In the whole packed arena when
the bout was over was James j. jeff
ries. i feel sure, indeed, he must
have felt distinctly relieved to say
goodby to that ring; though, of
course, to a hitherto indicated box
er his first beating is sad thing.
Never Could Have Beaten johnson.
MANY people declare that had JEFF
fries met johnson when. he was in
his prime he would have defeated
that good-tempered black just as cas-
lily as he himself was beaten after
five years retirement from active
fighting. This, however, is not my
view at all, for if am any Judge of
a boxers merits, I should say that
never at any time in his life would
jeff have bested the present colored
champion, who is one of the greatest
fighters that ever lived. Certainly he
is way out Of sight of the finest ex-
ponent of defensive tactics, while his
never-failing good temper and smil-.
ing amiability at all times makes him
additionally dangerous, for no matter
how things seem to be going with
him he just smiles away as If he had
been left legacy running into six
figures.
"Do 1 think any white man-that
is to say, any English boxer-looks
like winning back the championship
Of the world for the old country?
Well, at present I have certainly not
succeeded in unearthing any one
likely yet to seriously trouble the
black champion, but I'm very hope
full, as interest in boxing in England
is increasing daily, and I have re-
ceived the greatest encouragement
from sportsmen all over the country
in my search for white champion.
Bombardier Wells is undergoing q
course of physical exercises to build
up his frame. and this may do much
for him, as he is a really clever man
with the 'mitts,' and only requires
more experience to be able to make
the best men in the business go all
the way tt.
Then, again, Bill Lang. the cham
pion of Australia, keeps on improving
and for him time. too, may do much,
as he has come on by leaps and
bounds in the last two years. Yes,
Lang may still justify the belief I
have always had in him as the COM
ing champion.y

On Reina Calm.

One of the finest things within reach
of the average individual is calmness.
1t is also profitable.
Calmness is the twin sister of COM
fort. The man or woman who has
formed the habit of calmness is apt to
be comfortable when others are I'M
comfortable
Nor is it such a difficult matter to
make this habit feel enough at home
to become Il member of the family!
For calmness is about ninety per
cent freedom from fear.
AS n rule. the person who is not calm
is afraid of something or somebody.
Afraid of self. perhaps. And that is
the most tlsconcerting sort of fear.
The way to be calm is to be calm.
When the winds of adversely or dis
appointment or encouragement are
seeking to ruflle your mental seas,
keep remembering that there is no
such thing as comfortable passage
with the waves beating high. SO. keep
