Bobby Lowe Most Versatile
Baseball Player of All Time
BY FRED TENNEY,


Just as a chain is only as strong az
its weakest link, SO a ball club Is only
as strong as its substitutes. There
fore, II will be just as necessary to
use a careful discrimination In the
choice OF substitutes as In the selec-
tons of the regular men. A few years
ago, when baseball was in It's infancy,
the players could nearly all play the
different positions. Today there are
comparatively few who can do this.
This IL the age of specialization,
and nowhere is II more aptly illustrat-
ed than on the ball field. Men train
themselves for perfection In one posi-
ton, disregarding all others. Occa-
sionally a man appears who seems
able to accommodate himself TO any
change OF position.
Such a man was Shoch of the old
Brooklyn club. Jimmy Stafford was
another player almost a replica OF
Shoch. When in New York he was
played in about every position in the
field
Lowe, OF Boston, was one Of those
baseball phenomenons who could play
any position on the team In first-class
style. Starting as a catcher, then go
ing to the outfield, he made a great
record in the minor leagues. Coming
10 Boston In 1890 as utility man. he
was soon played regularly on account
OF his heavy batting. He more than
made good as a fielder. but was shift
ed to second base when Quinn was
sold. Here he became one of the
greatest in the business. His last
year in Boston found him the guard
ian OF third base. Again he ranked
with the foremost. While Lowe was
at home anywhere, he could not be
used as a utility man, as he was far
too strong a regular. During the last
few years OF playing he was used in
the utility role with marked success.
His work in that capacity helped De-
troit to win many a game.
5trang was one OF the bright lights
Of the utility men. He reverted TO
the Shoch-Stafford type, never good
as a regular hut excellent as an occa-
sional player.
Wagner, like Lowe, can play any
where with marked success. indeed
he has filed nearly all positions for
his club, but his IL another case Of be-

Now Engaged in Making Clear Their
Claim To the State Champion
( ship. They Meet Bay City.

= The Detroit Athletic clubs basket
ball team doesn't mean to let it's sea
son come to an end this year with Q
mere state championship as the re-
suit they have to show for their Ia
bors. Jake Mazer and his men are
busy corralling that Michigan crown
right now, but they regard it as near
ly certain that they will prove sue
cessful.
After they have defeated the "Y" in
the series which has already seen one
game come into their basket, the ID.
A. G. players mean to take on the
Spaldings In q second game-if the
sport shoppers want any more con.
vincing-and then will have a little
time to devote to Saginaw and Hope
college, both OF which teams look like
excusable contenders. Tonight they
play at Bay City.
Then what?
Why nothing else than a whirl al
the Central A. A. u. garland!
Jake Mazer has always believed
that this would set we'll on the classic
brows of the youths whom he has un.
der his command
The fact that no Detroit team has
succeeded in landing the coveted
award doesn't bother Jake In tha
least. He considers his present team
by all odds the superior of anything
that has ever before trod basket
ball court In this vicinity. He has
confidence that his men will succeed
where others have failed, in taking
into camp the very excellent Chicago
teams that have always seemed able
to come through at the finish With a
winning majority in such contests.
The Central A. A. u. championship
Ia about the most cherished title In
the world of amateur basketball. To
win II would entitle Mazer, Shinnick
and the other members Of the old
guard to retire from the game, as
they are already threatening to do at
the close Of the season, with glory,
honor and fame enough to last
through the rest of their natural
careers.
As yet the date and place of the
championships has not been determin-
ed on. Detroit IL really as logical
place for the committee to choose. as
any other place In the district. The
championships drew big crowds when
held here before and interest In bas-
ketball Is as high here as in Chicago,
where the championships are usually
held.
Whether or not an effort will be
made to secure the games for Detroit
Is a matter which will probably de-
velop In few days.

LONDON, Feb. 22.-Sam Langford
is the pugilistic wonder of London to-
day, and nothing will satisfy the fans
but to see him clash with Jack John
son for the worlds championship title.
The ease with which the Boston
negro, weighing 1853 pounds, whipped
Bill Lang, who. weighed close to 22o
pounds, last night surprised every
body. So decisive was Langford's VIC
tory that there Is general regret that
Lang's disqualifying foul in the sixth
round robbed the negro of the knock
cut that seemed inevitable.
Should Promoter Mcintosh succeed
In matching Langford and Johnson for
Coronation week, Langford will not
lack for backing Most of those who
saw him literally sweep Lang of the
boards believe him the greatest scrap
per In the world.
Langford was about town today
with not a mark of the fight showing.
He says he will stay In training until
the result of McIntosh's negotiations
with Johnson is definitely known.
The fight by rounds:
First Round--Langford began hos

round Lang seemed distressed
Round Two-Langford kept up his
rushing tactics and forced the Austria
lian around the ring. sending him down
for the count OF nine just before the
end of the round. Lang was plainly
cutclassed by the Poston fighter.
Round Three-The rushing tactics OF

President MaderO

Mexico is now on its feet again and
the revolution that overthrow Porfrio

the oath Of office and became Mexico's
president. Senior Madero ascends to
his high and responsible Office as the
peoples choice. They fought for the
right to an honest vote and to an hon
est government, both of which they
have a claim to. Madero, who led
the revolutionists to victory, was their
own choice as head of the republic. 1t
is now the duty Of every citizen Of
Mexico to support him and his gov
eminent.
President Madero's cabinet is made

President Madero begins his admin

has been Zapata, who has continued in
rebellion against the provisional govern
ment. 1t is stated, however, that he
has confidence in Madero and has
promised to cease operations with the
end of the de la Barra government.
President Madero has shown that he
believes in justice and that he is a
strong and able man, and there is every
reason to believe that under his direc-
ton the country has now entered upon
a period of prosperity.

its flowers and seed late in the sum-

going to seed by being cut after the

should be burned and the young weeds

TumbIing Mustard

This weed is popularity called in
Eastern Washington the Jim Hip
mustard. L, is properly known as the
Tumbling mustard. 1t is an annual,
that is, it goes to seed each year and
dies Ito the ground. The plant grows
to an extremely large size, making a
real tumble weed. 1t bears a large
number of seeds, which are oily and
therefore live long time in the soil.
The best way to fight this weed is to
go onto the land in the fall and disc it
lightly, thus covering the seeds just
enough to make them sprout. Do not
pillow, as this will bury the seeds to such
depth that most OF them will not
grow promptly, but will lie in the
ground for years, and as they are
brought up by each successive year S
blowing will fill the field with weeds.
If the land is lightly disked, the fall
rains will usually cause the seed to
sprout. II the land should dry off
enough, the sprouted weeds may be
killed by disking or narrowing, or any
other sort of weed-killing cultivation,
during the winter. But if, as is
more probable, the land is too moist
to cultivate in the winter, 60 on the
land in the spring as late as possible
with weed-killer and kill the young
weeds. After this the land may be
plowed and planted to some late spring
crop such as barley or oats, or it may
be summer fallowed. The greatest
danger is in burying the seeds
Otherwise the weed is not hard to kill.
