Cubs WillNumber More
Grabs Next Year Than
Any Club in the World
Evers Is the Prince of Growers,
and He Has Gathered To-
gether a Lot Like Him.

NHICAGO, Dec. 1S.-Critics
have already dubbed the
1913 Cubs as the Grabs"
President Charles Webb Murphy
admits that he fears for the safety
of umpires next year.
Johnny Evers, the Cubs new
manager, years ago was styled the
biggest crab" in baseball. The
Trojan does not deny this; in fact.
he has often boosted of it and
laughed when he named himself the
human crab"
Otis Clymer, the veteran Mime
apohs outfielder, whom Evers con-
siders using in the outer garden,
has for years been recognized as a
champion crab. They say his
growls have won many a game for
the Minneapolis team.
Eddie Mcdonald, the new utility
player, secured from Sacramento, is
also an umpire batter Crabs make
wise players, Evers argues. Some
say that was one reason why Evers
traded Downey for Mcdonald.
Miller, outfielder is also known
as an ill-tempered player, and the
famous Heinie Zimmerman by his
threats to bite off umpires' ears
won his title as a crab.
True, Evers has promised to con-
troll his temper as much as possible.
but Murphy is afraid Johnny will
forget this promise in the heat of
close diamond battles.

FRENCH TURF ALL
STEWEDUP OVER
DOPING EVIL
BY f. G. B. Fitzhamon.


r ONDON, Dec, 1S.-Sam Hill
dreths famous prescription
seems to have fallen under
the ban Of the French turf author
tiles who are committed, body and
soul, to sworn reports made to them
by Professor Kaufman. of the gov
eminent veterinary college at AL
fort After the horse Camyre won
the PriX DeMont Blanc at Saint
Quen recently, it's saliva was col
lected in sterilized receptacle i'm
mediately for analysis by Professor
kaufman. He reported to the stew
ards that he found therein certain
alkaloids denoting that some i'm
proper drug had been administered
to the animal before its race.
Camyre is trained by Hildreth,
who prepared it for that race and
saddled 1t. on the strength of Pro-
fessor Kaufman's report. the stew
ards have disqualified Hildreth's
horse and awarded the race and the
purse to the horse that ran second.
Crusade on Against Dc. g.
The turf authorities in Austria
and France are carrying on an I'M
ceasing but almost hopeless cam
paign against this world wide
practice of doping race horses.
With amusing gravity European
newspapers inveigh against Amer
leans for introducing over here the
various surreptitious means of
stimulating horses to exceed their
usual speed and stamina.
This new celebrity, Professor
Kaufman, is admitted to be mar
Velously skillful in detecting dope
by means of analysis of horses
saliva. But doping has become 50
generally praeticed it can not be
stamped out merely by exposure
and the subsequent Disqualified
ton of the horse. There is the bet
ting angle to be considered. The
Parimutuel is organized under gov
eminent control by different rae
ing associations Its ready money
business bets are settled at once,
whereas the result of Professor
Kaufman's scientific tests of saliva
can not be made known until three
or four days later. Therefore. it is
possible to win a large sum and
get away with it in plenty of time
before the Illicit use of dope can
be determined, after which the dis
qualification OF the horse and the
loss of an ordinary purse would not
matter.
Suggestion to Stop Triflng.
Hence the only way to deal thor
oughly with the doping Of horses
would be TO engage competent as
sstants for Professor Kaufman and
to institute the practice of not pay
ing off Parimutuels until five or
six days after each race. It would
be necessary for assistants TO col
lect from every horse sufficient
saliva for scientific tests to deter
mine by disqualification which
horse had won the race. after which
the bets would be paid. Unless
some such sweeping system is in
auguIated, doping of race horses
may as well be accepted as having
come to stay.
Doping is practiced quite com
monty in England and Ireland. but
the Jockey club stewards dare not
start campaign against it. They
are busy sitting on the lid while the
thankful syCophantiC sporting press
dare not expose the rottenness Of
the British turf and the non -sport-
ing press will not do so because

BY Riley.

DILL EVANS, who umpired on
n the bases October IA at the
Polo grounds, has admitted
that maybe the famous balk made
that day by Buck" O'Brien was not
a balk at all.
Since the alleged misdeed prob
ably cost O'Brien and the Red Sox
the game, which, if won by Bos-
ton, would have ended the series
then and there, Evans long de-
ferrcd admission is important. Had
Snodgrass caught that fly out in
center field two days later, Buck
O'Briens balk would very likely
have lost the worlds championship
Since it may not have been a balk
after all, think how much excite
ment and argument Evans escaped
when Snodgrass muffed Engles
long fly ball And if it had not
been called a balk, the magnates
would have missed more than $780,
600 that flowed into the box offices
the next two days at Fenway park.
And that Wood-O Brien fight"
would never have come off, for that
"balk'' paralyzed and beat the Red
SoX.
TNANS made the admission the
Il other day in relating the story
of a "fanfest" at the Copley SQUARE
hotel the day after the game in
which O'Brien was charged with a
balk. AT that gathering baseball
player said he believed O'Brieu
really thought he was off the rub
Der when he made the alleged balk,
Evans then made the surprising
statement that both he and U-mpira
KLEIN. who called the balk actually
doubted at the time whether If was
a balk. And now the story becomes
public.

Gus or bony Uranium Of vertebrate

The above definition is set forth
in the precise language of the saint
cd Noah Webster, because it IS the
possession of the thing defined that
is to make McAllister the regular
catcher of the Cracker team next
year
They were talking catchers yes

tor
Yes, we had" said another; for
two reasons-he had thirst and

Whereupon baseball writer, out
of the vastness of his ignorance.
lectured as follows on catchers and
brains:
IF a catcher isn't a quick think
er, he is as useless as a punctured
balloon. A good quarter of the
thinking of the team is done by the
catcher A bone headed catcher can
tie up team so it can't beat eggs"
And then spoke Bill Smith:
That's why McAlHster il going
to be our regular catcher, and a
mighty good one. He may not be
the most brilliant natural perform
er in the world though at the me-
chanical part OF the game he is "a
crackeriack. The main thing is
that he's an old and experienced
catcher. and he has one OF the best
brains possessed by any catcher
ever saw or heard Of He can al
ways make the right play. He can
always remember batters and their
weaknesses. He can work pitch
ers to perfection. He gets the con-
tidenCe of the twirlers and the in
tielders And that does more than
anything else toward making good
team play possible"
There isn't any denying but that
baseball headquarters. quite unof-
ficially, is worrying over the catch
er situation But not so Bill Smith.
