MAPS PLACE GREAT
FAITH IN SOUTHPAWS


Nap fans will keep an eye on Mana
ser Jims southpaw pitchers through
the training season at Alexandria. The
southpaws are the hopes Of tanning the
Detroit Tigers. and there will be two
or three good left handlers unless the
dope is away wrong Willie Mitchell
if he begins where he left off last sea-
son, will be one of the great pitchers
of the American league. Vean Gregg
has only to repeat his Pacific Coast
league performance to be as good as
Mitchell. Baseball men who have seen
Gregg are unanimous on this point.
And then there is Earl Yinging. the
best southpaw I'm the American asso-
citation. All three look good to put
kinks in Detroit. and Tiger defeats al
ways please Nap fans. Laddie Link
had the Tigers going last season when
he was at all good. Mitchell is better
than Link, and Gregg and Yingling are
expected to be better.
A southpaw who could beat Detroit
seven times out of ten would be voted
place by Nap fans, if.he couldn't
beat another club. And should there
be three Tiger-taming Maps. new at
tendance records would likely be made
at League park-Cleveland Press.

WALLACE BOOSTS COBB.

Bobby Wallace, manager of the
Browns. is another of the numerous
diamond athletes. who look upon Ty
Cobb Of the Tigers as the baseball
wonder of the age.
'CoSb appears reckless on the paths
at times" said Walece, but you can
bet he is the lightning calculator in
figuring out possible results. He takes
long chances and gets away with them
He is the one man. above all others
who will keep opposing infielders wide
awake, once he gets on base"
Baseball men are about agreed that
the safest way to get Cobb Is to have
the ball thrown home Immediately af-
ter he hits and then have the catcher
start II toward third in the relay
around the diamond. This plan looks
like the only effective one. as the ball
seldom catches up to Cobb. once Il is
behind him.

CAN'T LOSE JIM coReETT.
Now Says He'll Be in kaufman's Cor.
ner in johnson Bout.

New York. Feb. 24.-When Jim Cor
bett, the ex-heavyweight champion of
the world and big Al Kaufman met in
this city yesterday, Corbett gripping
the hand of Kaufman, said: "Al is the
only man who at the present time has
q chance of winning back the title for
the white race. He possesses every
thing with which he can do the trick
youth, science, speed and a wonderful
wallop. | honestly think that i'm a fin
ish fight AL would break the big black $
heart and win back the honors that JEFF
made such a miserable attempt to de-
fend. The moment that the announce
ment of AL and Johnson having signed
up to fight reaches me, / will immed-
lately leave for Kaufman's training
camp to help get AL in proper shape
for the affair. Kaufman is a much bet
ter fighter than he has been given
credit for. This talk about AL being
a slow thinker has no grounds. It's
a little early to predict a winner Of
Kaufman johnson bout. but just re-
member that Jim Corbett told you fell
lows that Al would beat the spade
when they came together"

NO PATENT RIGHTS
ON "OFFICIAL BALL"


ST. Louis, Mo-, Feb 24.-Any, high
grade baseball is a league BALI, i'm the
opinion of the st. Louis court of APP
peals, according TO a decision handed
down yesterday.
The case was that wherin the A. j.
Reach company obtained an injunction
against the Simmons Hardware COM
pany restraining it from stamping
baseball with the legend "Official Am
erican League Ball." The Reach COM
pany has contracted with the Ameri-
can league TO make it's baseballs.
Judge Caulfield, who wrote the opin-
ion, holds that the words Official
and League" are descriptive and the
word american" geographical. He
considers all of them too general to be
put into a trade mark. Therefore he
holds the Simmons company can use
them if il chooses.

FoREsTERs OF AMERICA.
Court Lafayette Entertains Members
Of Other Courts.

About two hundred members of the
various courts of the order of Fores-
tiers of America attended the district
meeting held under the auspices of
Court Lafayette at the Laurium bank
hall on Wednesday evening. The hall
was beautifully decorated for this oc-
casion, considerable credit being due
to Joseph Leveque and Joseph Cali
peau for its splendid appearance. Work
in the second degree was conferred on
a large class of candidates by the de-
gree team of Court North Star.
A short address was delivered by
Edwin Edwards, Grand Chief Ranger
of Michigan, who took for his subject,
"The Struggle of Men or Liberty, the
Growing Principle of the Foresters Of
America" Mr.. Edwards eulogized
Washington and spoke of the dark
days at Vallege Forge when the liber-
ty of the American people hung i'm the
balance also of Washington's achieve
ment of crossing the Delaware. charac-
terizing him as a true man in the spir-
it of liberty. love and benevolence. Mr..
Edwards also touched upon the heroic
life of that splendid young French
man. Jean Paul Lafayette and of Ba-
ron de Calb He referred 10 tho i'm

portant work done by the French in
discovering Michigan, speaking of
Jean Nicolette, the first white man to
set foot on Michigan soil, Pere Mar
quette and Rene Mesnard who follow
ed him.
In conclusion, Mr.. Edwards referred
TO the many benefits which have re-
suited directly from their struggles,
happy homes, comforts, good educa-
tions and not the least, societies for
the defusion of benevolence and char
ity.
Other numbers on the program were
a vocal solo by Thomas Curtis, re-
marks by Ben Tonkin, a reading by
Albert Coombe Of Kearsarge and an
address by Richard Hawk Of Hubbell
who commented on the financial stand
ing Of the order and in fact that about
S2,25O,OO0 had been paid out for sick
and accident claims and benevolcnces.
Mr.. Hawk stated that the future of
the order never looked brighter.
Joseph Galipeau of Laurium then
gave Il brief address, relating the his
tory of Court Lafayette, from the
time of the organization on Sept. H.
1892 to the present time. He stated
that during that time the total dis
bursements have amounted to over
$4,000 Mr. Galipeau also made some
valuable suggestions for changes i'm the
bylaws which will undoubtedly be in
troduced at the next convention at
Port Huron.

MACKsFFARSNTHE =. =
n DETROITsTICERS
DOES NOT THINK ATHLETICS
HAVE CINCH ON AMERICAN
LEAGUE BUNTING BY
ANY MEANS.

Seriously speaking, we expect a
race this year. and a hard one" said
Connie Mack recently. Certainly
nothing has happened to cause me to
loose faith in my team. but champion
ships are never decided at this time of
the year.
For the Athletics to repeat, the
team must be in the best of condition
and never let up for a second. We
were fortunate last season on the ques-
ton of injuries, and may not be so
lucky this year. In 1910 we had two
star players. Strunk and Oldring. out
OF the game; but when Oldring was
hurt Strunk had recovered, and we
were not weakened to any great ex-
tent.
THE other teams also must be con-
sdered there are seven other clubs
in the league and none of them has
been idle since the season closed.
Many have been strengthened with ex-
cellent material.
For instance. there are two or three
clubs which did not figure high last
season that should be dark horses this
year Two Of the clubs l have in mind
are Chicago and Cleveland. Both Duff
~ and Mcclure have added immense
strength to their teams during the
winter and ii should be foolish for
anybody to count either team out of
the pennant running.
Detroit is dangerous at all times.
The Tigers have tremendous batting
strength and are game fighters to the
last. They should be better this year
than last. which means that the Ath-
letics will have to work harder to beat
them.
Boston always has a good club,
They have a grand outfeld and infield
and a fine pitching staff l can't un-
derstand how it could go so bad this
year.

PLENTY OF CANDIDATES ON
HAND AND OUTLOOK FOR
COMING SEASON is VERY
BRIGHT.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Feb. 24.-With
three score candidates appearing for
daily practice i'm the big indoor cage
Coach Hickey is hard at work with the
task of selecting and drilling the play
ers who are TO represent the Wolver-
ines on the diamond this fall. Despite
bear stories IL wearers of the IN" are
out practicing and il is hoped and ex-
pected that almost all of them will be
able to play 1t is upon this array of
veterans that the greatest dependence
is placed but some of the new mater
ial looks so good that men who made
good last season may be forced to take
up the bench warming job. AS all of
the men who are expected are out the
nine is already beginning to take form.
Coach Hickey is OF the opinion that
this years team will be stronger than
the 1910 aggregation and that was
far from a weak one. though not up to
the class of 1909 squad. which pro-
duced Chick" Lathers and Fritz"
Blanding. Last years team won be-
cause of team play, hard work. and
attention to details and it Is probable
that this years nine will be marked
by the same qualities. None OF the
men out are great bali players. but
they are a brainy lot of no mean abil-
ity and when Hickey turns them into
the games they will be carefully drill
ed and may be depended upon to work
together. The wedding out process
will be begun before long and within
two weeks the squad will be cut TO 25
men, who will he worked in the cage
until the team starts south on its
spring training trip in April.
