Tinker Believes West
Will Send Many Players

Joe Tinker, the Cub shortstop, has
an idea that the West will send more
Etall players to the major leagues than
any other section of the country.--More
than that, Tinker says that the scouts
in the future will spend more time In
the West than they have In the past.
And the argument of Tinker in favor
Of the West is logical.
THE West breeds. big, strong, game
men," said Tinker. And those are
three qualifications which so a long
way toward making man great ball
player.
"Size is the least important of these
The small man may be great ball
player. But the tendency in the major
leagues is to pay more attention to the
big men. In fact, some of the managers
require that the pitchers be big, strong.
husky individuals.
Strength Is essential Occasionally
you see a fellow who Is not powerful
driving the ball to the far corners OF
the lot Such a fellow is Frank Schultz,
of the Cubs. Yet these men are the eX-
ceptions. The strong fellows are the
ones who are best liked and who are
in the majority.
But size and strength count for moth
ing unless that thing we call gameness
is also present. And that is wnere the
Western fellows shine. They are fight
ers. They come from breed of fight
ers. Their fathers before them fought
to conquer a country of which but lit
tie was expected. The never-say-die
spirit was instilled at birth. l have
seen lots of fellows from the West play
ing baseball and mighty few of them
lacked that nerve which makes man
fight just as hard with the score against
him as he battles when he is winning.
1.-The man who has nerve ana has no
natural ability isn't likely to make
much of a hit in the major leagues,
But he'll get just as far as the fellow
who has tremendous natural ability
| and weak heart.
| THE fellows In the West come big
and strong and ready to fight to win,
| There should be more of them in the
National and the American Leagues
J And I'm one of those fellows who be-
iieve that th.re will be lust as soon
as the scouts begin to awaken to thl
fact that the West Is grand recruity
' ing place" ... o.. 4

Runners Near Death

RAPID CITY, s. D.. Nov. "a
Lost a few miles out Of town in
a blizzard and while they were
taking a cross-country run in
athletic clothes. Preston w.
Waterbury, secretary of the Y.
M. c. A., and Milton Burke, son
of John L. Burke, former regis
ter Of the local United States
Land Office. were found by a
= party of searchers in an aban-
. doned slaughter house late at
night three miles from town.
Both were in an exhausted con-
dition.
A posse was formed shortly after
the men failed to return and
thorough search Of the country
which they were supposed to
traverse on their run made. The
fortunate arrival of the mem
bers of the party at the
slaughter house in which the
athletes had sought refuge
probably saved their lives.

May Kill Boxing.

ALBANY, N. Y. Nov. 22.-Governor
Dix plans to renew his recommendation
to the Legislature early in January for
the repeal of the Frawley law, which
created the State Athletic Commission
for the supervision of boxing in this
State. He said yesterday that he had
not changed his opinion that the law
has not worked satisfactorily, and that
ne not only was opposed to the propo-
sition of permitting decisions on the
results of boxing matches, but favored
the repeal of the law.
The governor made a similar recon-
mendation just before the close of the
session of the Legislature in ctober, but
no action was taken on ii. The gov
ernor expects to have the members Of
the boxing commission come to Albany
In the near future to discuss the box
ing situation with him.

BAN JOHNSON TO
AID ATTENDANCE
By GORDON MACKAY.

their highest point since 1908, when tho
st. Louis Browns were fighting in the
American League scramble.
On the other hand, there wasn't any
except the Athletics and Tigers. The
Mackmen are notoriousiy a poor at
traction on the road: the people expect
them to win. and don't figure tnat the
means any game. The Tigers are a
grand attraction on the road, but fall
down wofully at home. unless they are
champions
Under this combination of circum-
stances the American League attend
ance records looked pitiabfe in COM
paris9n with the National figures.
President johnson has observed this
has started out to correct the fault:
First, he took John /. Taylor out Of
his presidential position in Boston. The
city is acknowledged by players to be
Taylors tantrums had taken the
starch out of the Hub fans. and II he

charge in Beantown was the first step
toward rehabilitating the American
League in that city, and drawing out
the old time crowds.
In Chicago.
Chicago is a wonderful ball town, as
far as Comiskey and his White Sox
are concerned. Give the Southsiders a
team in the thick of the fight, and
every single club in the league will
make money on the strength of Chicago
attendance alone.
Hughie Duffy did not seem able to
make a successful fight there. so he
was shifted and Jimmy Callahan, d
wise guy, popular Chicagoan and good
fellow, took the team. The same thing
applies with Harry Davis and the man
agerial position at Cleveland. These
men, If they can build up teams that

Ban Johnson will release one Of

NOR has 1t that Jack Egan will
be let out.
Jack was particularly of last year
and he gave keen dissatisfaction
at Bennett Park. 1t seemed
that Egan spent half his time
umpiring in Detroit and few
were the games that Egan got
through without several severe
kicks being registered.

Murphy Believes Craig
Will Win in Sweden

Ralph c. Craig, Of the University of
Michigan, should win an Olympic cham
pionship, ina the opinion of Mike
Murphy. Penns athletic trainer, and
trainer of the American track team
which competed at London.
mo amateur athlete in the world can
beat Craig at 22O yards" says Murphy,
"and If he would take a couple of
months to improve his starting he would
also pull down the championship at
100 yards"
Slowness in getting away from the
mark has always been Craigs greatest
handicap. He Is generally one of the
last to strike his full stride, but when
he does the other are soon trailing
him. If he can improve this there is
no telling what he will do to the
records

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Nov. 2.-Mr
Byran Bancroft Johnson, the bulky gen.
tleman who is nine-tenths of the Amer
lean League, has evolved a presidential
scheme to bolster up the dropping at
tendance along the circuit which his ag-
gregation tours during the season.
When the figures of the attendance In
the rival major leagues were published
the American numerals looked about
as happy alongside the National sta
tistics as a blind man trying to roll
peanut up a toboggan. There was no
comparison in the drawing powers or
the two major leagues: the other body
outdrew its junior rival something like
millions.
The Boston Nationals, the lowest
bunch in the National League, outdrew
the worlds champion Athletics some
thing like 100000. and when one takes
into consideration that the Rustlers
played to 5O-cent ball towns the amount
of coin which they took in exceeded the
receipts of the best team In baseball by
figures that jump into Ave numerals.
The reason for this can easily De
explained. The National League had
a race-The American had two,team
fight. New York, Chicago, ana Pltts,
bIrsh, all three excellent baseball
towns, were in the thick of the fray
the last weeks of the dying season.
Stimulated Interest.
This race between the leading teams
stimulated interest, increased attend
ance and fattened the box office re-
ceIpts to an enormous extent. Piled
on top of this fact was the run of TIE
Phillies early in the season, a magni-
f,cent spurt that seemed destined to
carry Fogers fellows to the van: This

thought his managerial duties would

ever arrived on the other side. How
quickly the change has come! Now that
the frenZied finance brigade Of England
have got in their work, he cannot ap-
pear even on the stage without being
Kissed and booed. His income has been
cut off and II will not be long before
he comes back to this country, search
ing for some money. Despite the talk
against him. many clubs IN many cities
would bid for his services on this side
of the pond, and there Is little chance
of his going broke for some days. But
when he thinks of the change in his
popularity among the English, he must
wear a very sour smile, instead of that
