CABRERA MAY LAND IN NATIONAL LEAGUE
 BEFORE SEASON ENDS

There is every probability that this will be the last season in the Con necticut League for Senor Cabrera, the Cuban shortstop, who is with New Britain, for since his two coun- trymen, Almeida and Marsans, have made good ins the big show, efforts have been under way to send Cabby up into higher company. Present in- dications are that Pittsburg will land the shortstop.
 Cabby is recognized all over the circuit as one of the best, if not the best, shortstops in the league, and looked upon by experts who know the capabilities of all three as being fully as fast fielder and as good a hitter and base runner as either Marsans or If his two countrymen can stick in the major league there is no good reason why there shouldn't be room higher up for Cabby.
 Although he would not discuss the matter. it is said that Dan O'Neil, the Waterbury manager, has interested himself in Cabby's advancement and is lending his influence to Jim Mur- phy, the New Britain owner, to send the Cuban up. O'NeiPs influence with Manager Fred Clarke of the Pittsburg Pirates leads those on the inside to believe that Cabby will become a Pirate rather than a Cincinnati Red leg. There is no question in the minds of those that know his ability that Cabby would make good in the big show.

Jimmy Doyle, Crack
 Chicago Third Stacker
Niagara University Boy Left College to. Get Mar >ried and Won Fame on Diamond.

The Chicago Cubs have young third baseman this year. He is one of the finds of the season. His name is James Doyle. and he covers the rambled. Although this is his first year in big league company Doyle's reputation as third baseman has been made. Baseball players and authorities on the game say he is one of the best young infielders of the day. W
 Soon after the Cubs began the sea- son Chances first real setback came. Johnny Evers' breakdown forced Heine Zimmerman, Chances choice for Steinfeldt's~ vacancy, to play sec- ond. This left a hole to be plug to worry over his infield. A serious problem faced him. When Chance gave Doyle chance the latter solv- ed it. Doyle jumped in and played style of ball that more than pleas ed Chance and Chicago rooters. The young infielder became one of the sensations of the Chicago Jam.
 Doyle never intended to play big league ball, as evidenced by the fol- lowing story from Chicago:
 When Doyle was studying dentist ry in Niagara University he never in tended playing baseball for his liveH- hood. It all came about because he married before he was 21 and through with college. That Niagara University lost a crack shortstop and quarterback from it's athletic teams, dentistry a student, and the Cubs ul- timately gained one of the most prom ising infielders in recent years. can all be laid to his marriage.
 Like many other collegians whose services have monetary value, Doyle had played summer ball for Utica in 1907 under the name of Wilson, in- tending to return to Niagara and con- tinue his studies for degree in den-1 tistry, toward which he had a two year start. Instead he married in September.
 Doyle is rightehanded batter and thrower. He weighs about 165 pounds and stands 5 feet 10 inches Chance predicted 8 future for him when the team was South last spring President Murphy, who had also been watching him, was so enthusiastic over Doyole's work that many skep- tics thought the astute Cub boss in- tended to sell the recruit.
 While in the American Associa- ton Doyle batted only .25.4. Consid- ering this and the fact that he had had one trial in the big leagues many persons wondered how the youngster expected to make good with the cham pion Cubs.
 Doyle last spring said he was go- ing to make good if he got a chance. He has kept his word"

PhIies Offer
 $5,OOO For High
National League Club, Weak ened by Loss of Magee, Now
 After. Hartford Player

The Hartford Times says that while he hasn't offered quite as much as the St Paul club received for the milliDn-dollar Swiss battery, Kelly and O'Toole Owner James H. Clarkin, Of the Hartford team, has an offer for one of his players that would make the eyes of most of the magnates of the circuit bulge considerably, but up to the present MT. Clarkin hasn't been tempted by it, as he wants the player. who is none other than Lefty High, for his own uses The Philadelphia Nationals are hot on the trail of Hart ford's speedy left fielder and may se- cure him by draft, if not successful in any other way. However, that also may be avoided.
 Mir C1arkin has been offered s5,000 for High and can get a good man to boot. It will take more than that sum to get a good player from the Hartford team at present, as Ciarkin is out to make a bid for the pennant on the homestretch of the race. There's not a. single cent of conversation money in the 5000, and it could be secured tomorrow if the Hartford own CT saw it to tag Lefty for Quaker town
 The Phillies were after High ear Her in the season and were refused at that time. MT. CIarkin made a trip to their camp several weeks ago, as will be recalled, with the expec- tation of picking up a pitcher, as his staff was a little off color at the time. When he found he couldn't get one, except in exchange for High, Clark in called it all off and failed to get a flinger. Since then the Phillies have been deprived of the services of Sher- wood Magee, owing to his suspension by President Lynch, and the team is more in need of outfielders than ever, so the offer for High has just been renewed Not a chance" says Man ager Clarkin. Hartford is still within striking distance of the top, and this weeks games may see it further ad- vanced High is one of the mainstays of Connery's aggregation. He is hit ting for 307 and fielding for .939.

Connie Mack Has
 Players Planted
Philadelphia Leader Puts Youngsters in Minors for
 Use in Future Years

Arthur Irwin, scout of the Yankees once made the famous remark that the day of the scout would soon be a thing of the past. for every young player in the country belonged to Connie Mack. The gray-haired spy was led to this fit of pessimism be- cause in one week he looked over half a dozen callow youths, only to find when he broached negotiations that they belonged to the tall tutor of Philadelphia.
 The long arm of Mack has assured 1y reached in all directions of the thirteen original states and other states that don't claim originality. Tn the infant class at Sunday school, the deestrick school, the prep school and colleges are youthful absorbers of knowledge waiting for the magic day when a night letter reached them say ing, Report at once.-Connie Mack"
 MT. Mack prefers the little red is not insensible to the wealth of ore found on the crossroads and minor league teams. MT. Mack can consult his files and find out how many hits Harry Krausmeyer, third baseman of the Shineheimer, Kuppepkleister & Tappenhanger's Sticky Fly Paper Co., s team at Laxyville, Ala, made last week.
 Connie also can tell what team is leading in the Sunday school league in Ongersoll, Neb., and knows that Pagan, the Primitive Methodists' star pitcher, has great drop and might be worth trial in 1913 or 1914
 It is a fact that Connie Mack. has any number of youths planted who are hardly old enough to leave their firesides. Two years ago at the age of sixteen, a Philadelphia schoolboy signed a contract to play with Mack. This tall tactician may wait two years more before ordering this juvenile south with his team.
 Peters, the young California first baseman, has been planted by Mack might be extradited to California on the charge of Kidnapping, Mack did not dare order the infant to report un- til Spring.
 Mack has youths planted for de- livery in 1912. 1913 1914, and 1915. He will call them as he needs them, but every year he is sure of a big squad strikes his, team. No manager in America looks as far ahead as the Tthletics' master mind
 Baseballdom thought it wonderful when Mack took a team of melodies in 1909 and finished second to De- Lro1l. ans that year IoSSeu pOS1eS at Mack for getting a good team to- gether so quickly, but they didn't know that Mack was planning for 1909 in 1907.
 Mack is a baseball teacher as we'll as a manager. In thiDhe has a great advantage over the majority of man. agers There are few managers who can take a raw ball player and mold him into a star Most big league managers expect their new men to be almost finished product from the start.

Papke Will Not
 Meet Frank Klaus
Chicago Sporstmen Believe He Is Dodging All Good
 Fighters

Bill Papke, who will meet Sailor Burke at the Twentieth Century Club New York, on Aug. 22, must now be counted out, they think in Chicago, in any consideration of a successor to Stanley Ketchel. Papke has re- fused to meet Frank Klaus on the ground that he cannot make the Am erican middleweight limit and be strong.
 This is the first time that Papke, who fought three sensational battles with Ketchel. has refused a match. Papke also appears to be sidestepping g fights with Cyclone Johnny Thomp- son and Leo Houck.
 Papke only recently returned from Australia and Europe. In Australia he lost twenty-round decision to Cy- clone Johnny Thompson. In Eng land he knocked out Jim Sullivan, thereby winning the English middle weight title. He had refused. to meet Leo Houck, and the young Pennsylva- nian journeyed over to France ond won the middleweight title of that country by beating Harry Lewis in twenty rounds. As result of these fights Thompson is regarded as the middleweight champion of Australia, Houck of France and Papke of Eng land. Having once defeated Ketchel, a feat performed by only one other pugilist, Jack Johnson, Papke was re- garded as the man best fitted to de- fend the American title.
 New York and Philadelphia promo ters offered Papke a match with Houck over the six or ten-round route allowing him to name his own terms Papke has told his Chicago friends that he does not care for Houck's game.
 From the Pacific coast word comes that the promoters there have been notified by the authorities that they must pass up Papkee in dealing with mlddleweights This conclusion was reached on account of his foul tactics in the bout with Joe Thomas on May 19, 1910. when the Illinois Thunder bolt won in sixteen rounds The sporting fraternity on the coast lost a lot of money on that fight and their influence has brought great pressure to bear on the Mayor and District Attorney of San Francisco.

the ribs. There was no way of cal .culating the number of times Flynn walloped the Chicagoan. It was far in the thousands.
 Barry's Judgment of distance was simply horrible. He missed Flynn at times by the width of the ring, and the blows were real windjammers. The wind whistled when the gloves shot through thes air-that's all.
 The only time Barry had even a peek in was in the sixth. He managed to connect his right and left to Flynn's 8 jaw, and the blows rocked the Bos- tonian. But before deadly damage could be done Flynn had ducked the cyclone.
 Every round was alike. Flynn would just stick out his left and Barry would stick in his face to take the punch. Then bang would come the right, and poor Barry's ribs would feel the sting.
