O'DAY HAS

Cincinnati, Jan. 17.-Manager Hank
O'Day of the Reds has announced that
he has signed q trainer for the team
in the person Of George s. Hoskins of
Milton. Pa. Hoskins for a number of
years was physical director at Buck
ness university and he was In charge
there when Christv Mathewson was
pitching for the Buckness baseball
team and playing fullback for the foot
ball eleven.
He is now with the Y. NJ. C. A. at
Milton. Manager O'Day has had ex-
cellent reports IN this man and be-
lieves that he is tho pesx choice for

II he had not signed him he would

Hoskins. who comes very highly rec
commended. Hoskins will report in
time to go South with the Reds the
first Of March.
"In engaging "a trainer" said
who knows all about the care and
treatment Of ball players. The man
who IL successful in handling boxers
and runners may not know much
about the entirely different work with
ball players who require special kinds
Of treatment. The ball players mus
Giles must be kept supple and free,
while most athletes try for harder
training than a player needs. I am
sure that Hoskins IL the best man for

WOMAN ABBEY's SUCCESSOR
Miss Violet Oakley Will Complete the
Mural Decorations at Harrisburg
(Philadelphia Public Ledgerl

" nlladelpnla Public Ledger
With her appointment to complete.
in the decoration of the Pennsylvania
state capitol at Harrisburg. the vast
mural paintings that the death of Ed
win A. Abbey left unfinished, Miss
Violet Oakley has been recognized as
AhbeH's legitimate successor in Amer
lean art as n of the greatest of mod
ern mural decorators.
She has been chosen to carry out
the O elaborate and the most cost
~ scheme of decorations of any pub
lie building in America.
She is the only woman who has ev-
er been given sue a commission.
Yet Miss Oakley's early ambitions
lay entirely in the field of illustration.
and her attention was turned toward
decoration by the smallest of incidents.
She did a tiny color sketch as her
flrst color experiment when she was
studying under Howard Pyle in this
city and some n remarked that it
had a strong decorative quality.
TO Miss Oakley'e surprise she was
asked to try her hand at a stained
glass window design for a decorating
company in this city. From the do
sign she received an order for the
large window in the Church of All An
gels at West End venue and Eighty
First street, New York. That was thir-
teen Years ago and she has been
working at window designs and mu-
raj paintings ever since.

CUBS WILL HAVE
100000 PARK

Chicago. Jan. 17.-Baseball fans
are promised the finest ball park in
the world by c. W. Murphy. president
of the Cubs.
Murph has decided to wait until
all the other major league clubs have
built their new stands and then come
along with one which will surpass
everything in existence.
II 1t takes a million dollars to erect
the new plant upon which President
Murphy is working, a million dollars
will be spent.
Should Murphy's present ideas be
carried to their natural conclusion the
rooter need not even leave the park
over night to seek his bed, Tor, with
the conveniences already planned, the
addition Of a few private sleeping
apartments Is merely an incident.
Restaurant to BE Feature.
A restaurant will be one Of the fea-
lures. So Will a completely appointed
barber shop. A souvenir room in
which the o~ut-of-town visitor may
purchase any little trinket which may
remind hi moi the game or be of in
terest to the folks at home is anoth-
er n of Murphy's ideas. An elevated
runway In the real of the stand up
which automobiles may be steered
and deposit their occupants in close
proximity to their boxes. is assured.
Murphy intends that his new plant
shall not alone meet all the requisites
Of a ball park. but that 1t shall be
one Of the show places of Chicago. It
is his intention that the visitor here,
when he returns home. shall not only
be asked did you see the Cubs
play?" but Did you see the lew ball
park" and that it shall be- a fitting
unit of the e Chicago beautiful'
idea. -.

PEACE DOVE NOW
At Twin CITIES
Hamline and St. Thomas Re-
sumo Athletics-Would
Form a League

1t is probable that the recent meet
Ing and organization of the Dakota
Minnesota conference has been the
cause Of some of the fluttertngs of the
dove of peace. Shortly after the ses-
sion Of the conference in Minneapolis,
Fargo college scheduled basketball
games. the first time athletic events of
any nature were arranged between the
schools for nearly two years. Now
comes the report that Hamline has re-
sumed relations with st. Thomas and
that Carleton will also listen to the
cooling of the peace dove. For three
years. since it was charged that st.
Thomas maintained semi-professional
athletic teams, Carleton and Hamline
have cut st. Thomas off of the sche-
dule. Now that the faint of profess
sio4alism is removed and that the
family of d. NJ. conference is none too
large, the Saints have been welcomed
back into the fold.
The Hamlinites are very anxious to
put college baseball on a new basis
this spring. They are planning on or
ganizing a collegiate league composed
Manchester. Coach Baird of Hamline
is quoted as follows:
Each team could play four games
with each of the other college teams,
thus giving each school a schedule of
sixteen games bearing on the state
championship. This plan would make
1t possible to definitely decide the COL
lege baseball championship on a per-
impossible in the past. Besides the
advantages to be gained by such a
plan in deciding the championship the
plan is a good one from the financial
standpoint in the estimation Of follows
of Hamline baseball. These games
would be of but little expense and
have always been the best drawing
games. Thus 1t would seem that un-
der the proposed plan college ball
could be made to pay expenses, a thing
that has been impossible in the past,
when teams were brought here from
a distance"
The question is where would the
U. N. D. come in, in case the Minne-
sofa collegiate league Is organized.

THREE PLAYERS
REAL LEADERS
Incompatible Trio, Wagner,
Cobb and Lajoie-Which
Is the Best

Whatever the hogshead of real
news for the baseball fan during the
frigid days of the Stove league gives
out. the baseball statistician turns
on the spigot Of comparative dope,
and fills an aching void.
Nothing furnishes better fodder
for the hungry appetites Of the bugs
Of Cobb. Wagner and Lajoie. I'm
questionably in modern baseball these
three players stand alone in their
class.
An Incompatible trio. the query
usually. arises: Which Is the best?
Aside from prejudice and dealing
wholly with figures. the glittering
Georgian wins the all-around cham
pionship. True. he has not been play
not half as long.
But he has excelled in every
branch of play. The figures do not
furnish such an ideal argument at
that to hurl against Honus and Larry
and boost Tyrus. Take their grand
batting averages, for instance. Cobb
has been f1ogging the pill for seven
years. His grand average Is 1858.
But watch the Gaul's average. Six
the Frenchman with a grand average
OF 1858, a wonderful performance. At
the end of his sixteenth year in base
ball will Tyrus Raymond Cobb have
such a mark?
Wagner q Wonder.
Look at Honus. One year less In
the game than Larry. he has piled up
q. grand average of .347. a gold medal
play. At the end of fifteen years as
a pastimer will Tyrus Raymond show
an average equal to that Of the Car
negie batterbund?
But take another angle. Peer at
the seven years the three have beer
playing together. Cobb's average, of
course, is the same old 1868, but how
about the Franco-Prussian Alliance?
Well, Larry has smote the bulb for
.334 in that length Of time, while
Wagner has whanged the pill for .342,
a. notable performance in each indi-
vidual case.
In base stealing. taking the grand
averages. and. the bow-legged German
gives Cobb a tight race. Ty's grand
average is 1873: Wagner. .302. and La
joie's but ,159. On the score of gem
eral efficiency. the palm Of victor must
be held until Cobb has completed as
many years Of service as old Hans
Wagner.

Physical rs. Mental.
Boxing and football may carry
more physical pain and poignant an
guish than golf or baseball. but the
physical isn't all Of 1t. A mental
shock may carry far more of harm
than the physical one. Which is not
saying that after all this brutality,
