AN IDEAL BASEBALL CAMP.
Perfect Weather Conditions-Saloon
 v Miles Away.

The trouble with most of the train ing camps is that they are too near the large cities or towns where the lid Is off on everything. The young players coming up from the bushes are the first boys to fall victims to the Vaccinations of city life
 By all means the best training ground in the world, all things con- sidered, would be the Papago desert in South Arizona, but it's too far away.
 The Papago desert lies just north of the Mexican border. and is a long stretch of sand and sagebrush, with mountains at the edges,
 Un this arena the players could chase the leather all they wished, and maybe more, because there wouldn't be another solitary thing to do.
 In the Papago desert there are no theaters, no dances. no people, ex- cepting occasionally a wandering h. dian or a derisive cowboy.
 Provisions and water are brought from the Southern Pacific stations by burro.
 You hoist a tent, you play ball, you chase inquisitive cows off your reser vation, and you read magazines
 Nearest saloon, TT miles; nearest theater, 142 miles, nearest white soci- ety (excepting cowboys), 121 miles.
 No rain. no storms of any kind; weather conditions perfect.
 Where could a baseball manager find such ideal conditions in any other locality? But. alas, the Papago des- ert is $500 miles away

The end of the first mile found us we'll bunch ed, after which the Irish champion and gradually opened a gap and in the final sprint I succeeded in beat ing him out by about five yards, thus winning my first race. The shouts and yells of the crowd during the last quarter mile of the race resembled pandemonium broke loose. We still continued our training on the grounds near Taftville The Versailles boys. also having a club, and being heart and soul in the game The following year the Versailles people held a pic- mic at Occum, the only athletic event being hundred yards dash. Among the Versailles boys there were several good athletes, James Brady being their best spTinteF, and they felt sure he would win the prize. AS there were no long distance races I entered the sprint and succeeded in defeating Brady by two yards. Such a result. however, was neither expected nor wanted, and, as the boy said who lost all his marbles, 1t was mo fair!" So they made us run 1t over again and this time I won by thTee yards, and I was reluctantly awarded the prize.

NOLAN'S FIRST WINNING RACE
Was Mile Event at Old Roaths Grove-Beat the Irish Champion from the Fals-Compelled to Beat Brady Twice at Versailles in 100 Dash

My first real win?" said John No Ian, in response to a question put him on Tuesday by a friend whose inter- est had been aroused by Fecent rem iniscences of this Taftville runner ap- bearing in The Bulletin. My first real win was 8 two-nile race on July {, 1882. at some games given at Roath's grove, Norwich, by the Ill., bernians.
 Norwich, at that time, was affected with the athletic fever, and the aspi- rants for athletic hcnors were almost innumerable. Many of these men were really good athletes and Greene vile boastSd of having the greatest number of good all-round athletes in Connecticut Chief among these were James Cenners, John Wallace, Frank Murtha, John Cleary, Ed McMahon, George Gadle, Barney Keenan, Arthur Seymour and large number of[ssser lights. Charles E. Hazelhurst, Billy O'BFien, Berry, and others represent ed the West Side, while in Sam Whit ford JeWett City possessed the great est athlete at three standing jumps the world had, up that time, ever pro- duced. Accordingly, there were no lack of entries for Hibernian games and nine men started in the twe- mile run, which was the main event on the programme.

MAPS FOR SECOND DIVISION.
Ty Cobb Picks the Cleveland Team
 That Way.


 T suppose" says Ty Cobb, who Is appearing in the star role of The College Widow at a Chicago theater, that the public expects me to say that Cleveland will finish one-tWo- three. In fact, my press agent told me some time ago that it was the proper thing on reaching a town to say it would surely win the pennant. But I am not going to follow his ad- vice. You see, I am going to quit the stage forever on Saturday night and I am able to speak the truth
 T believe the Maps will finish about fifth. Barring accidents, they may finish higher up. but accidents are bound to occur For instance, the ac- cident of Del Gainor, odr first base man, knocked us out of the cham pionship. Now, Cleveland can i'll af- ford to lose Gregg. Jackson, Lajoie. Livingston or O'Neill. If any one of these five Is hurt, Davis Is going to have his troubles finishing better year with a lame arm He will have to show me before I pick the Maps to finish in the first division Larry is getting older and while he is still a grand player and should do as well this year as he did last, he gets hurt more easily than he used to. Of course, if Cleveland players meet with no injuries, they are going to be dan gerous and give Boston and Chicago battle for third place"
 Ty thinks that Cleveland has picked up future great in Steve O'Nem, the young catcher who threw out seven of the Tigers in two games last fall Ty says he considers the youngster one of the most natural throwers he ever saw even if he (Ty) did succeed in stealing a base on him. He is also of the opinion that Paddy Livingston has a number of good games left in his system.

Claims cr.dit for Leach.

Credit for bringing out Tommy Leach of the Pittsburgh club is claimed by Gene McCann, the Bridge port manager. It was in the year 1895, the second in McCann's career as a baseball player and manager that he picked up Leach around the back lots of Hanover, Pa. McCann was managing this team at the time, which was affiliated with the Cum berland Valley league, hence was keeping his eye peeled for promising youngsters. Leach, then & mere strip ling, with class being in evidence all over when he was in action, was placed at third base and made good from the start on the dizzy corner. At length his work was brought to the attention of big league scouts, and he was signed up by Pittsburgh at the end of the season. In 1896 he reported with the Pirates and has been with them ever since, being one of the great stars in the game today.

DROPS OUT OF BASEBALL LEAGUE
Windham High Gives Up Eastern Connecticut Interscho- lastc-Third Baseman Downer Elected Captain for 1912 Season-Making Up the Wimandc School Schedule

The varsity members of the Wind ham High school baseball nine at recent meeting elected Roy Downer captain of the nine for 1912. Downer held down third base on last years s team and should make a good leader, being full of ginger and a hard and conscientious worker. He was quarter back on the school eleven and has been a member of the basketball team the past two seasons.
 The team has withdrawn from tle Interscholastic league and contem plates playing other hines than those in that organization. Manager Staeb- ner reports that a good schedule will be arranged and that so far negotia- tionS are pending for games with such hines as Bulkeley H. S., the Manual Training school Of New London, Put nam H. s. and a goodly number of others.
 The above, reported by The Bulle- tins special correspondent in Willi- mantle, probably settles the fate of the Eastern Connecticut Interscholas- tic Baseball league. which elected it's officers and adopted a schedule for 1912 in the early part of last Decem- Der, with Manager William C. Cough
 
 president, Manager Q. Clyde Fowler of Bulkeley school, New London, as vice president. Manager Emerson Staebner of Windham high as secre- tary and treasurer. Stonington high and Westerly high were the other two members of the league, but when the Bul1eley school authorities heard that Westerly high had been admitted to the league they promptly had West erly protested and declined to allow Bulkeley to remain in the league if Westerly were to stay.
 It was understood here later that Windham high was also a shaky mem Der of the league and seemed to be having difficulty in raising the money for the bond which all teams are re- quired to put up. Now that the team has definitely withdrawn, the league looks like dead one and each team can proceed to make Up it's schedule of independent games.

NEVER SUSPECTED KIDNEY TROUBLE-GAINED FIFTY
 POUNDS IN WEIGHT

Some time ago I was suffering from what 1 supposed was rheumatism. I became so bad that I could hardly get on my feet from a sitting position. 1 ran down in weight from 195 to 145 pounds. I tried different kinds of medicine but received little or no help. ! saw Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root high ly recommended for kidney trouble but l never had any idea that my kid neys were affected. I thought l would try 8 ffty-cent bottle of Swamp Root and see what the effect would be. 1 commenced taking it ac- cording to directions and in a few days l saw that it was helping me. l used the fifty cent bottle and then bought three more dollar bottles and they completely cured me. I have gone back to my original weight-195 pounds-and I am a thorough advo- cate of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root. as l believe it to be a remarkable prep aration for what it is recommended to do

coRHAN BACK IN FORM.
White Sox Shortstop Says He Has Completely Recovered from "Bean- ing" by Ford.

Roy Corhan, the White Sox short stop, who was knocked cold by one of Russell .Fcrd's spitters last summer, reports that he is entirely recovered frcm the effects of the injury, It was a wicked smash he received and he was a long time getting over it.
 The blow left the brilliant youngs ter timid, and he was of little use during the 1911 campaign after being 'beaned." That the injury had wreck ed Corhan's nerves as a batter was the belief of Managar Callahan and South Side fans.
 The young in1ielder, however. has dispelled most of the doubt as to his ability to deliver the needed article of ball during the coming campaign ill letter written to Dr. J. H. Blair. In the note to the physician, which was received yesterday, Corhan stated that he had recovered entirely from the injury and that he would be as good if not better than ever before.
 1T Corhan lives up to his promise in the letter the Sox infield problem will be simplified. Callahan has been worrying considerably over his inner defense and wondering if any of the recruits would prove good enough to be the regular shortstop.
 Corhan showed in the early stages Of the 1911 campaign that he was one of the greatest ground coverers that ever played the short field on the South Side He went to the left with speed ard was particularly effective in cutting down drives over second base, generally a sure safe hit zone. TEe only shortcoming of the youngs- ter i'll the field was over eagerness. He was gradually settling down when Ford's wild pitch put him out of com mission for the remainder of the year.
 With v t" '~ form, he probably will have but one real

Inquiry for John B.

The Baltic Mills Co. basketball team would like to know where J. Benoit of Taftville, who refereed the game be- tween the Baltic Mills Co. and the United States Finishing Co. of Greene vile last Saturday night, ever found a rule by which a referee could award point to the opposing team when a man who is covering an opponent who has the ball out of bounds and knocks it out of his hands when he seeks to throw it into play. If MT. Benoit would be so kind as to inform us on what page of the rule book for 1911-1912 he found such a rule we would be very much obliged to him, for we have sought for it in vain. (tSigned) B.
