was unleashed, and the declarations of
his most sanguine supporters who

Morris has shown himself to be a
master of every man he has met in
the ring, and, without any tlesitancy,
he has put them all to the floor in al
most less time than it takes to ten it,.
He is a human engine, and he, liay-

Carl Morris was born in Kentucky

his father. He was born Aug. 3, 1886,
worked on the farm until 1904, when
he came here and applied for a po-

THE HARDEST POSITION
Eddie Collins Discusses the Much
Talked of Question of What is, the
Hardest Position to Play.

No question ever asked in baseball
arouses more discussions and disbe-
liefs than the immortal query, What
is the hardest position to play?' says
Eddie Collins.
I'm these heated arguments the bat
terry are usually eliminated because
their line of work is different from an
outufielder or an infielder. The pitcher
necessarily all animals as horses;
of it than any of his team mates when
he is called upon to performs but he
only works on an average of once
every three or four days, so it is diff
cult to compare him with an. ordinary
fielder on this basis.
THE third baseman is the target for
many hard hit and ugly bounding balls
but he handles fewer chances than any
infielder and really has only one
troublesome play to make. and this
can be made easy by his vigilance.
The one / refer to is with left handler,
particularly, at bat and a man on
second. He must be ready to go in
for bunt or cover the bag in case the
runner tries to steal. This leaves short
and second to fight it out.
Nov my candid opinion about these
two positions may differ from that Of
many, but | am speaking from ex-
perience and / found it to be So We
speak of all horses as animals but not
necessarily as all animals as horses;
just so with second basenlen and short
stops. A shortstop's position is really
harder because he Is called upon to do
practically the same as a second base
man does under more trying condi-
tions. He has to field over greater
reaches Of ground and make swifter
longer and harder throws than any
other infielder. or course, the second
baseman and shortstop are more OF
less dependant upon one another. One
can do much to relieve the obligations
Of the other. and BY this cooperation
make each others work easier.
1T has been my province since
entered baseball, which really dates
from the time | joined the Athletics
in the spring of 1907. to have played
four positions. namely, the outfield

HUGH DUFFY A SURPRISE

Chicago, Jan. 26.-'Tt is my honest
conviction that Hugh Duffy will hand
big surprise to the baseball fans OF
the country in 1911. Duffy has the
pitching staff, and with strong team
back Of his hurlers, look out"
This is the opinion of Rollie zeider,
captain of the Chicago white sox in
1910. zeider writes from his home in
Auburn, Ind, that he is in the pink Of
condition for the fray in the spring,
and says that when the bell rings for
the opening of hostilities he will be
there to battle his best for the sue
cess of Comiskey's team.
Few people realize that it will be a
different team entirely that will play
for Comiskey than the one that opened
the schedule in 1910. / don't know
what the lineup will be this year, but
the team that can beat the white sox
in 1911 will win the American league
pennant. With such men as Lord,
Mclean, Dougherty, Choinard and Be-
die batting for the white sox, the
pitchers on the opposing teams will
certainly be up against it. Give any of
the white sox pitchers three runs and
see how many games he will lose.
Look at the games we lost last year
by one run, If we had had a little
more batting strength there might
have been different story to tell at
the end Of the season. I expect to see
Duffy pull ahead this year. OF course,
when the team was losing last year
he got his knocks--all. managers do,
unless they win, and how can they
win without the material? The same
is true of ball player-if he is win
ming he is all o. X. IL he is on a
losing team he is the worst ball player
in the world. Put Ty Cobb on los
ing team, one that finishes down in
seventh place, and see whether he
pulls off so many brilliant plays and
bats. 400. Tt takes more than one star
to make a pennant winner.

The local Y. M. C. A. basketball
team clashes with Fargo college Sat

game is viewed with considerable in
terest as the Fargo '"Y" defeated the
State University recently. A fairly
good line on the college and univer-
sity teams can be drawn from this
game.
The Y. M. C. A. team has been play
ing some good games lately and al
though defeated, has put up some pref
ty good exhibitions Of basketball. The
Fargo college team has not met with
any very stiff opposition thus far, and
have come off with victory in all the
games They are, however, expecting
a close contest Saturday evening.
Both teams are in good condition and
a fast game will undoubtedly result.

IS PEER OF: ANCIENTS

Pittsburg, Jan. 26.-Some time after
Deacon Philippe had signed his Pitts
burg contract of 1911, he gazed re-
fiectively art the ceiling, then at his
feet, then at nothing and nobody in
particular, and said:
do you know / am the only one
left? Sam Lever wants to go, Cy
Young must go, and vic Willis is
gone, That leaves me all alone All
alone" unused the Deacon as he pulled
off his hat and scratched his head
meditatiyely,
But thes Deacon is wrong. Another
who is left is Wild Bill Donovan, of
the Detroit team. Bill joined the big
show in 1898. He began his major
league career with the Washingtons,
coming from the waterbury team,
which won the championship of the
eastern league of 1887. AS will be re-
membered, the same team won the
Connecticut state league championship
this year. In 1889 he was turned over
to the Richmond club, which, near the
end of July, Sold his services to the
Brooklyn club. He was with Brook
lyn until 1903, when he jumped to the
Detroits of the American league.

FIRST SACKERS SCARCE

New York, Jan. 27.--Any minor
league manager who can develop a real
star first basenan can obtain almost
any price he cares to ask for him.
Gilt edged initial sackers belong to q
rare breed and are becoming more
valuable every day Most of the ex-
periments that the major league clubs
will try in the spring will be at the
keystone cushion.
There are really only six stellar first
basemen in the sixteen clubs compris-
ing the two major leagues, and four of
these are in the national One of the
two American leaders, Jake Stahl, has
announced his retirement from the
game, so that Hal Chase is really the
only first baseman marvel left in the
junior organization.
In the national league there may be
differences of opinion as to the relative
merits of Chase Of Chicago, Kone-
tciy of St. Louis Hoblitzel of Cincin-
natl, and Daubert OF BROOKLYN; but in
the American league Chase is without
peer, since Stahl, who was his near
est rival has chosen banking in pref
erence to baseball
Tom Jones Of Detroit is a good re-
liable First sacker and one of the
nerviest men in the game. but he is
not in a class with the New Yorker.
Harry Davis of the athletics is past
his prime and there has been talk OF
his making way for d younger man
Stovall failed to shine for Cleveland
last year with his old time brilliancy
but he may play the high class ball ot
which ne il paY1al11e when &f4eyt season
opens.
Chicago, Washington and st. Louis
are all after new men and if any oi
their recruits show sufficient class
there is a position open for them. Bos-
ton must, OF course, replace Stahl, and
will probably use Bradley unless some
one better appears.
IN the National league, Pittsburg
Boston and Philadelphia would ali
welcome q first class guardian of the
initial sack. First basemen on many

lsition to the fact that there Is appar-

Will TEACH Sliding

Detroit, Jan. 26.-- When nothing
else to do, teach them to slide. SO
when the regular training stunts in
the spring camps grow monotonous
they hike to the gravel pit kept for
that purpose.
Hughie Jennings has been trying
the scheme for years, although a Cleve-
land Writer recently became imbued
with the idea that it had never been
attempted before and would be in
augurated into the 1911 camp of the
tigers. 1t will be the same old stunt
with the same old result.
Now sliding in basebalI--that is the
real art of sliding-is just about as
deep" a thing as trapeze work in a
circus. There is a whole lot to the
feat, and faint everybody that can do
it.
The few who can slide are quickly
discovered in the practice in the
spring time-they are generally known
to exist beforehand-and rarely does
the list fail to stop with the limited
number In other words, few players
learn the finer points of the art of
sliding
On the Detroit club there are but
two men versed in the finer points of
sliding They are Bush and Cobb.
For two years Jennings has tried to
produce a few more of their type out
of the ranks of his recruits and vete-
rams. The veterans are too old to
learn, while the recruits either lose
heart or lack ambition, for it requires
much nerve and vast energy t0 he
come acquainted with the inside dope
on sliding.
Cobb and Bush have both served as
examples for young and those not SO
young. Little has ever come of it.

SOUTHPAWS in DEMAND

Chicago, Jan. 81 Though every
club in the American league has been
trying for years to develop high-class
south-paw, the two veterans, Eddie
Plank and Doc White, still have it all
over their rivals.
The Cleveland team, which for years
had searched in vain for a promising
young left handler, appears to have
picked up the most likely recruit in
Willie Mitchell. This young HEAVIER
after a poor start finished the 1910
season in rush, and set the baseball
world to gossiping by capturing the
last ten games in which he worked,
Mitchell Looks Good.
Because of his sensational finish
Clevelanders must not expect too much
from the. southern finger. 1t is pref
ty good wager, however, that Mitchell
will continue to deliver the goods for
the maps during the coming season
American league umpires. declare that
no southpaw in the organization pos
sesses a more puzzling assortment of
curves or better break on his fast
ball. Evidently, all Mitchell lacked
was experience. His ten victories at
the close of the 1910 campaign should
give him the required confidence.
The only other portsiders who
showed any thing last year were
Vaughan of New York and Collins of
Boston. At times Vaughan looked like
finished performer, while on other
| occasions he resembIed the rawest of
recruits. He was an In and outer
| at best. Collins appeared to have
plenty of stuff and seems to need only
experience to round him into a high
class boxman. He came direct to
the majors from college team, which
makes his performance of last year a
highly creditable one
Baily Is CONSTANT Loser.
Ball players say that Bill Baily of
the. st. Louis club has a good assort-
ment, but he has never been consis-
tant winner. In reality he has been a
consistent loser. Baily's fate has been
hanging fire for four years, and he has
as yet to show. 1t is possible that a
change to some other club would work
wonders with the browns left handler.
Dolly Gray of the washington club
is for from top-notcher; Krause, the
sensation of 1909, appears to have
blown up: Karger of Boston depends
more on his gray matter than his left
arm, while Tommy Atkins of the
athletics has not had an opportunity
to show his real worth.

Passed Ball or Wild PltohY

Chattanooga, Tenn, Jan. 27.--
whether Eddie Siever, former lookout
twirler, made wild pitch or whether
it was passed ball is a question
which the national baseball commission
must soon determine in the salary
claim for $24O made by catcher Harry
Meeke.
About the middle of last season
Siever and Meeke were the battery for
Chattanooga in a close game with
Birmingham. Late in the game Bir-
mingham had runner on second.
only one out and the score tied. Siever
delivered the ball Meeke did not
catch 1t. The base runner moved up
to third on the play and scored on an
infield out, thereby winning the game.
That night Meeke was suspended
for being out Of condition. The
management decided that he could
have stopped the ball had he not been
too fat.
Meeke says that the ball was really
a wild pitch and an investigation of the
scoring records shows that the Of
fetal scorer so recorded the play.
Meeke further claims that a man who
is batting over 300 and practically
leading the catchers Of the league in
Unfolding must be in condition. and it
is with these allegations and with ex-
tracts from Judge Kavanaugh's Of
fetal records that he has filed his
claim with the national commission.
Meeke asks for the remainder of his
salary for the season.
Meeke's suspension has been raised
by the local club, and he will probab-
ly manage class c team next year.

in a local railroad Office, has received

Meyers states that 1t is probable that
he will return to Louisville next sea-

He served in that capacity faithfully
until a little occurrence one day at
Okmulgee, when negro, who had
some trouble with a brakeman on

Morris stepped down from his cab,
slapped the negro on his steel turret

Beginning of Career
This was really the beginning of
Morris athletic career, for from that
time on he thought pretty we'll of him

afterward concluded he would try his

He had fully demonstrated, not only
to himself, but to. his many admirers
as well, that he had am excellent
