BIC TOM CROOK
AGAIN To LEAD
! Team TO GLORY
Snappy First Baseman Selected
to Instill Ginger Into His
Teammates.

Manager McCann Is banking on
Tom Crook to hold his job at first
base this season, for he has given
out the Information that the big fell
low has been appointed captain Of
the Mechanics of 1911. The selec-
ton Is a popular one, meeting with
the approval Of the majority Of the
fans.
Crooks work, though he fell off a
bit in his batting toward the end Of
the season, was very comm endable.
He was fourth among the first base
men of the league in fielding, being
led by Connery Of Hartford, Tiemey-
ton. However, ConnerN and Tfemey-
er played in less than 20 gam es,
while Crook worked in 81. Yale was
the real leader. But it was not in
fielding that Crook excelled.
The big fellow was a wonder in
instilling the old pep into his team
mates. When things began to lag,
as they often do in baseball game,
a sudden "Eh Yah" from the direc-
ton of first turn would set them
a-going. Crook was captain Of the
club for the bigger part Of the past
season. Those who claimed to know
make the statement that the team
was excelled in many respects by
last season. but 1t was the head of
the team that turned the trick. Part
Of that glory which Of necessity went
to Manager Mccain should also have
gone to his captain. The latter was
the pivot of that snappy team work
which was so characteristic Of the
Mechanics play.

SPORTS OF ADAY!
Big IMPROVEMENTS TO BE
MADE AT NEWFIELD PARK
FOR THE COMING SEASON

ent structure is very substantial but
rather out of date. The front will be
moved forward to allow the addi-
ton of four or five rows of seats. The
ends of the stand will also be ex-
tended several feet. To be up to date
the management will erect boxes di-
rectly in back of the home plate in the
grand stond, while their exits will be
upon the field. A baseball fan Is just
as anxious to pull up stakes after a
game is over as he is to see the con-
test. To further assist in the emp
tying Of the grand stand exits will
be built, one on each side Of the pres
emit exit. To further assist in the get
ting out of the crowds more and sub
stantial gates and entrances will be
made into the field.
OF interest to those tired press men
who are obliged to keep tabs on the
way the game is going, new press
box will be constructed. The new af-
fair will be directly in back of the
home plate, on a level with the field.
The entrance to the box will be
from underneath the grand stand.
Manager Mccain issues an invitation
to the sporting writer's around the cir
cult to try the box out when 1t Is
completed.
The plans which are now in the
hands of the contractors call for ex-
tensions being made to both bleach
ers.
If it is found necessary because Of
the extension of the grand stand, the
diamond. will be moved back several
feet. However this may not be neces-
sary. In the past, on passed ball, the
runner was allowed to- take as many
bases as he was able. If the stand
were nearer, only one base would be
allowed the runner, the same as is
now in effect on some of the other
fields of the circuit. Even if the field
was moved out, 1t would be still 'ex-
ceedingly difficult to put that ball
out of the lot. Newf1eld has the rep
utation Of the hardest field around
the circuit in which to grab a home
run. If a player succeeds in getting
one here, he certainly Is entitled to it.

hour. This match has been adver-
<tised as a tussfe In pounds. Hack
agrees to throw Auvary. who tips the
scales at $50: Santello. at 2s0: and
Lunlin. at 220.
The preliminary bout is between
Neil Olsen. the great Dane. and Co

Stanislaus Zbyszko. who has long
been trying to get on a. match with
Hackenschmidt, will be present this
evening 10 u!dho d poISoAd1 OoAl 70

dent that Hack will not sidestep him
on this occasion.
Prof Atlas who is engineering this
evenings exhibition. states that Il it
can be shown to the satisfaction OF
Hackenschmidt that Bridgeport wants
wrestling. he will have little or no
trouble in inducing both Zbyszko and
Hack to come to terms to wrestle in
this city. This bout when consum-
mated will about settle the champion
ship of the world. and would draw
thousands Of dollars In other cities Of

oner said she had no immediate plans
for the future in the event of her
acquittal. She said:
There is just one thing am GER
tain of will get my little daughter
and son. The rest doesn't make any
difference. That is all I have thought

when are you going to your IS

how long the judge will let these at

If she is acquitted, Mrs. Schenk
probably will go to the home of rela-
tives in Martins Ferry, just across
the river from Wheeling.
The evidence Of the alleged con-
spiracy that Prosecutor Handlan had
stricken out was given by Mrs. Jane
Hedges and DIR. William Morrison.
The former. testified that Albert
Schenk had vowed to get Mrs; Schenh
out of the packers family. The lat
ter connected DIR. j. w. Meyers, one
of the states chief witnesses, with
DR.. T. NJ. Haskins, Albert Schenks
brother-in-law. The only evidence
offered in rebuttal by the state was
to refute the defense's effort to dis
credit DR.. Meyers. Had his plan to
cripple the conspiracy claim been
overruled by the court, Handlan was
prepared to summon Albert Schenk
and numerous other witnesses to at
tack this<Iine of defense.
Judge Jordan, in instructlng the
Jury to disregard the statements by
both witnesses upheld Handlans
contention that the testimony was
not SUPPORTED by a single instance of
overt action on the part of the sup
posed conspirators.
Handlan will ask the court for
whole day for his arguments. A SINH
lar time probably will be allotted the
defense. Unless the night sessions
are continued, which now seems I'M
likely, the jury will not have the
case before Wednesday afternoon.

A grand stand and field much on
the same style as the stand field at
the Polo Grounds in New York are
the plans Of the owners of the Bridge
port baseball club for Newf1eld 1.park
for the coming season. The grand
stand and bleachers last season were
wholly inadequate to accommodate
the throngs which desired to witness
the Mechanics perform. while on hoii-
days and in the most Important
games, especially, those with Water
bury, those lucky occupants Of seats
consoled with their less fortunate
neighbors. To alleviate these condi-
tions important changes will be made
renovations that will gladden. tne
are such that when completed New
field park and its stands will be sec
ond to no minor league park in the
country. 1t is simply carrying out
the ideas of the owners of the club
not only to give the city first class
baseball team, sbut also an Al eS-
tablishment in which to house that
club.
There can not be the least peep
against the field. itself. Newfield
Park is of such proportions that
many. house lots could be cut off it,
and still be large enough for base
ball purposes.
Manager Mccain stated last season
when he first came here that if he
could make baseball q "go' in this
city. he would give the fans the worth
of their money in every particular.
How baseball has been made perrAa-
nent here under the present own
ership is past history. Manager Nc
Cam also stated that he would en-
deavor to provide a seat for every fan
giving up a pasteboard. OF course
he cannot be expected to erect stands
to seat the immense crowds such as
attended the biggest contests of last
season.
The most important changes of all
will be in the grand stand. The pres
