TOO MANY PLAYERS ON
MODERN cLUBs-MALEER.
New Magnate of Boston Club Tells of
Time Eleven Men Kept Cleveland
Goina.

Jim McAleer, new magnate of the
Boston club, thinks the clubs carry too
many men on their payroll and train
them too much. He said recently in
discussing the subject:
Teams are forced to carry above 20
players to make flag fight, and even
then they are compelled to use pitchers
in the outfield or outfielders in the In
field.
when | was working under Pat
Tebeau in Cleveland uniform around
the early nineties went went through
the season with IL men-and we made
a fight of it all the way. We had one
catcher, Chief thinner; two pitchers,
Cuppy and Cy Young; four inf1elders,
three outfelders, and one extra guy
who was supposed to fill in any vacant
spot. Only he had little work to do,
as the other 10 of US We're generally on
the job, where nothing but punctured
spine or a badly splintered neck could
crowd US away from the works.
Why is It, then, that if II men were
enough, 20 or more are not enough
now? Why is 1t that If two pitchers
could work through a schedule, six or
eight today can't turn the trick with
out sore arms, breakdowns, lame back,
or something else to crowd them away
from the field?
We fought as ruggedly and as
fiercely then as they do now. But if a
catcher had his thumbnail bruised back
there or if an infielder got his shoe
string twisted or an outfielder lost his
cap he was not laying off for week
or two to get right,
I've seen thinner step back there
with broken fingers, have seen him
bind them up with tape, and still catch
great ball. I've seen infelders Grip
pied, and they no more thought of ask
ing for a rest than they thought of
asking Rockefeller for his share of the
oil business. They were out there to
play ball, and these things were part of
the game. And when ball player was
relieved he had to come pretty near
showing q coroners certificate with a
signed autopsy to get away with it.

Clear Lake. Jan. es.--Of interest to
every member OF the knights OF CO.
lumbus in this state. is the movement
now on for this organization to build 81
$4,000 club house on the shores Of
Clear Lake, and II not here, on the
shores Of some other popular lake in
this state. This movement has been
talked over in a number Of the councils
and II is said that practically in the
thirty-sx that are organized in the
state, there is hardly dissenting
voice.
The idea Is to build sucn a home as
will accommodate at least 100 families,
the epar tments to be used and pad ifol
by those who occupy them, and where
families may come during the heated
period aud find rest and comfort. The
details of, the, building have not been
arranged but the plan in general has
been outlined as above. At a big meet
four Of the thirty-six councils in the
state had objections to the plan and
these were not of such nature that
they could not be won over, AT the
same time a summer school would be
promoted. and anyone, regardless of
his religious opinions, might take ad-
vantage of 1t. When 1t is considered
that there are now about 1000 mem

gives impetus and strength to the
movement. Clear Lake can be depend
