Joe Birmingham Is Rival Of
C. Welch, Famed Outfielder

ALEXANDRIA. La, March 90
There are three members of the
old base ball school with the Maps
Manager MCGUIRE, Tom Daily and
Bob Gilks. The trio were watch
ing the Nap outnelders in action
here yesterday. They noticed weak
nesses in all of them. some Of them
glazing, others miner.
They will never make another
Curt WEIGH" said Gilks. He was
the greatest outfielder Of all time
I've played alongside OF Jim Nc
Aleer and all the other star fly
chasers. but WEIGH was the king
Of them ALL
Mcclure and DAILY agreed with
Gilks. Bobby then said: 1T took
McAleer a long time to learn how
to hang on to the ball. He was a
star, but I think Joe Birmingham
Of the Maps is the nearest approach
to WEIGH as an outfielder that 1
have ever seen. Birmy can 60 and
get a ball anywhere-in front, be-
hind. to the right or left Of him.

RACING IN NEW YORK DEAD.
Jockey Club Will Make No Appli.
cation Sor Dates.

NEW YORK, March 22-Horse racing
Is dead In New York state for this
year at least. The Jockey Club issued
statement last night. saying that be-
cause Of adverse legislation it had been
decided to make no application for
dates. This news came out almost
simultaneously with reports from New
Orleans that horse owners believe the
sport beyond revival there. The Jockey
Club announcement. signed by A.
Daingerfield, secretary. follows:
AT a meeting of the representatives
of the Coney Island Jockey Club, the
Brooklyn Jockey Club. the Westchester
Racing Association. the Saratoga Asso-
citation. the Queens County Jockey Club,
the Empire City Racing Association and
the Metropolitan Jockey Club, held to-
day, 1t was decided to make no appli-
cation to the state racing commission
for racing dates. AS the so-called direc-
tors liability law remains on the statute
books the same reason exists as in Sep
TENDER, 1910, for keeping the courses
closed, and 1t Is further decided to make
this public announcement"

would not get as good practice as they
do under the present system, and NC
Aleer expects to see material improve
ment in the teams batting this spring
as q result Of this system of training.
Walter Johnson is not pitching in his
usual effective form this spring. but
this does not mean that he has gone
back. Johnson is taking things easy
He is pitching at top speed only now
and then, believing 1t wise not to strain
his arm any more than Is necessary
Furthermore. he Is practicing the use OF
his slow ball. for it is believed that once
he gets a perfect change Of pace. 1t will
add much to his effectiveness. Further
more the pitchers must not be expected
to show good form the first time they
work the entire route.
They have not yet grown accustomed to
going nine innings, and with the weather
growing warmer every day 1t Is but nat
ural that they should weaken during the
progress of the game. But the work is
the best kind for them and with nearly
three more weeks to spend in Atlanta
they should round into perfect form by
the time they start for home.
There Is no confirmation of the report
that the balls to be used by the two major
leagues this year are to be livelier than
they have been heretofore. Rumor has
had it that II order to Increase the bat
ting the amount of rubber or cork which
been increased. If this has been done it
will undoubtedly cause more hitting. but
there Will also be q falling off in the
fielding. and this will be, especially true
during the early part Of the season be-
fore the fielders have become accustomed
to the bounds that a lively ball will take
when coming in contact with a hard
field
Harvey Bussey, the pitcher secured by
Washington from Danville, hardly be-
longs to the youngster class. He has
been professional hurler Hr more than
six years. and had he spent this time in q
league where he would have gained some
notoriety he would surely be classed
among the veterans BussGy is pitcher
Of the Reisling type. though not as big
a man az the doctor. There is nothing
particularly sensational about what he
has on the ball. but he knows how to
pitch ans that sort of twirler often
gets away, where a fellow with a world
OF ability falls to make an impression
because he does not know what to do with
what he has.

major leagues are subjected to. A player
with a good line of talk will hoodoo Jack
son.
Left-Hander His Hoodoo.
A left-handed pitcher raises havoc with
Jackson. who is a left-handed batter. The
southpaws find 1t easier to get the ball
close to his body. However. a good major
league Highlander will get about as close
to him as any left-hander in the business.
Jackson is fast on his feet, wonderfully
fast, but he will not become a great base
runner according to the prediction handed
out here. He is slow to start and lacks
the mental ability, which means that
constantly outguessed. while he will be
unable to hide his own intentions.
Connie Passed Him UP.
Connie Mack has shown himself to be
rather a wise judge Of ball players-prob-
ably the wisest the game ever saw or ever
will see-and Connie Mack passed jack
son up to Cleveland. He could have got
ten him back this year had he wanted
him. Mack had strings on him. but cut
them and sent jackson to Cleveland. Mind
you, Mack is not particularly strong on
soutkerner and would undoubtedly have
used him if he did not feel that Jackson
had faults which could never be mended.
Mack has had other youngsters with
faults. but he never let one of them go
where he felt that the fault could be
eliminated.
So there seems to be degree Of sound
common sense in the pessimistic view
taken in the south regarding Jackson g
chances in the major leagues.

BONO OF SIN KILLER
TOO HIGH TO REACH
Negro Evangelist Was Given Two
Hours in Which to Make $4,000
Bail-Home with Sheriff.

Sin Killer Griffin, the negro evan,
gelist whose arrest in Houston yea
terday on warrant charging forg-
cry caused more or less commot!on
among the church-going negroes OF
the city, met with great surprise in
the criminal court Wednesday morn
ing when Judge Robinson fixed his
bond at 5000 and gave him but two
hours and 4 quarter In which to
raise the necessary sureties. Failing
in his efforts to find bondsmen Grit
fin was taken to Ellis county by the
sheriff
The negro attorney who represent
ed Sin Killer asked the court II 50,
900 was not excessive. to which
Judge Robinson replied:
mot in this case. The defendant,
as l understand it, has already skip
ped one bond, and l do not intend
to let him do 1t again"
The Ellis county sheriff, who was
present at the hearing, explained
that Griffin was under $1,000
bond, but did not show up when his
case was called for trial.
Sin Killer looked deeply panied
when the amount of the bond was
made known by the court. He had
probably expected to gain his libert,
on a $500 bond and had friends In
the court room who were ready to
act as his bondsmen to that extent.
The idea OF putting up $4,000, how
ever, failed to appeal to them and
they offered nothing but sympathy.
One negro, who stands high In relis- |
ious work In Houston, tried to con- |
sole Griffin. Several women, Wit
said they got religion" when they
heard Griffin preach in Houston, |
attended the hearing.
Griffin spent last night in the
county Jail and conducted little re-
yival In his cell. He is charged with
orgery In Ellis ounty.-Houston

to help the town and country WAS be-
ing shown by the large property
owners this matter could be closed
up In short order. 1t Is an unfortun-
ate fact that these same small fell

of the burden In all propositions
which have had to do with the up
are faithful to the last. The indiffer-
ence of some who ought to be deep
ly interested In this matter OF secur-
Ing the interurban and street rail-
