WHITE sox WILL BE
 OF PENNANT cALI1RE
Chicago Americans Will Be in the Hunt Under Hugh Duffy in 1911.

Tt is my honest conviction that Hugh Duffy will hand a big surprise to the baseball fans of the country in 1911. Duffy has the pitching staff and with a strong team back of his hurlers, look out''
 This is the opinion of Rollie Zeid- CT, captain of the Chicago White Sox in 1910. Zeider writes from his home in Auburn. Ind, that he is in the pink of condition for the fray in the spring and says when the bell rings for the opening of hostflities he will be there to battle his best for the success of sComiskey's team.
 Few people realize that it will be a different team entirely that will play for Comiskey than the one that opened the schedule in 1910. I don't know what the line up will be this year, but the team that can beat the White Sox in 1911 will win the Amer ican league pennant. With such men as Lord, Mclean, Dougherty, ChQui- nard and Rodie batting for the White Sox, the pitchers on the opposing teams will certainly be up against it. Give any of the White Sox pitchers three runs and see how many games he will lose. Look at the games we lost last year by one run. If we had had a little more batting strength, there might have been different story to tell at the end of the season. expect to see Duffy pull ahead this year. Of course. when the team was losing last year he -got his knocks all managers do, cnless they win, and how can they win without the materi- al? The same is true of a ball player if he is winning he is all OK; if he is on losing team he is the worst ball player in the world. Put Ty Cobb on a losing team, one that finishes down in seventh place, and see wheth- CT he pulls off so many brilliant plays and bats 400. It takes more than one star to make a pennant winner.
 If have stiff fight on my hands to gain a place on the regulars, why, I will be tickled, because like fight of this kind. I know that I will be in the best condition of my life as a ball player and I don't think I will have to bum. All have to say is that if there are several fighting for . position may the best man win.
 T have been outdoors every day constantly since I left the team last fall. lay my good condition to the fact that I have been doing nothing except hunting this winter. every day imbibing the good, cold thing is better for a ball player than lots of exercise in the open, and guess have had my share"

FORT TRuM5ULL
 REVENUE CUTTER SERVICE
Bill Reported FavorabIy on the Trans fer from War to Trsasury Depart ment-Eight for Naval Station
Especial to The Bulletin )


 Washington. Jan. 20.-Major Tilson has reported from the5 house commit tee on military affairs the bill to trans fer the military reservation known as Fort Trumbull, near New London, from the war department to the treasury de- pertinent, for the use of the revenue cutter service. This bill was intro duced by Representative Mann at the request of the revenue cutter service, and the proposition is to use the res- ervation for the revenue cutter school.
 The committed, at the sug ggestion of the secretary of war amended the bill by adding a provisO that the war de- partment be permitted the use of the present dock and approaches, concur rent with the treasury department, in order that harbOr boats stationed in the New London artillery district may tie up there when necessary. The war department favors the transfer, and Major Tilson expects to have the bill put on the calendar for unanimous con- sent so that it can come up a week from next Monday. No objection to the passage of the bill is expected.
 The United States government ac- quired the land in 1904 by purchase, and later on an additional tract was acquired. At present the war depart ment has no use for the reservation, as it no longer forms part of the ap- proved project for the defenses of the | cdStCA II ciiu Ol l1ODS ISldllu SOunu IHc war department turned the property over to the treasury department in July last. and the bill in question is simply intended to make the transfer permanent. It is expected the revenue cutter service will improve the prop erty and erect several new buildings in the future for the use of the new school.
 Now London Naval Station. The house committee on naval af- fairs has voted to follow the recom- mendations of Secretary Meyer ir abolishing five navy yards that the secretary claims are useless. Among the number is New London and if the proposition is passed by the house the marine corps barracks of New London will be deserted. It is claimed by the department that it costs 5000 a year to maintain the New London yard and that it is of no importance to the navy at this time.
 The late Governor Lilley was prob ably the first man in public life to cal attention to the uselessness of some of the navy yards along the coast Ii is expected, however, that there will be quite a fight on the floor of the house when this proposition comes up The house committee has never before recommended the aboIishment of these yards.

cooMss PITCHES WORST
 WHEN HE WORKS tARDEsT
The Trouble in His First Two Games Against cubs-Last Were Easy.

New York, Jan. 19.-&Jack Coombs of the Athletics, who pitched three winning games against the Chicago Cubs in the recent worlds series, in talking about the games says he new CT felt at any time that the Cubs would beat him. He, wanted to cinch his games, and for that reason had to get. away with two victories before he could get in shape to do himself jus tice.
 Whenever I don't seem to be pitch ing,' said CoombS T mean when l don't seem to be taking any interest, I'm working my best. It's when I try to work like the dickens that I cannot seem to get them over.
 That was the trouble in the world 8 series. The Cubs are dangerous at any. stage of the game, and I wanted to put everything that I had on the ball. In fact, worked so hard that the ball got. away from me and I pitched the rottenest game threw for months. The second game man. aged to get back to earth and did a little better; but it was in the third game that l got to that state of mind where a wanted to be. Then l found things easy and got Tinker and Arch CT in a row with two on. That was the turning point of the game, and won the series.
