CLUBS TAKE CHANCES
Whipping Youngsters Into
Leaguers an Expensive Task.

Not all of the spoils of base ball war
are earned by the youngsters who report
in the early spring with hearts yearning
for preferment. Where are the roses of
yesterday" asks a base ball fan. I'm
other words. please be kind enough to
tell me what has become of the young
ball players who were tried by the major
league clubs last season in March,
Not an easy question to answer. They
are scattered over the wide area in which
organized base ball is conducted
Take a look at the Giants for instance.
There were Tesreau, Hendricks, Rudolph,
Jenkins Rustenhaven. Maggie and Shontz
on review last year. OF these Tesreau
seems likely to be the only one who will
report to the team in 1912.
ShOntz has been claimed under optional
contract He was with Newark last year,
hut an arm seemed unable to find it's
way into proper condition and he had
little opportunity to prove his worth
Rudolph was transferred to the Toronto
club shortly after the season began. and
mostly for the reason that he appeared
to lack endurance. Rustenhaven drifted
back to the west, whence he came. with
out a chance in the major league. He
was too slow of delivery. Nagle was too
light and threw his arm out of condition
before he had an opportunity to show
what he could do. Jenkins was trans

to meet expectations. Hendricks was af-
1icted with inconsistencies and bolted out
right, depending upon engagement with
semi-professionals TO maintain his base
ball reputation.
In st. Louis.
Hearn, a promising left-hander with
the st. Louis National League club,
slipped back to the minors. So did
Zmich. the only ~" player in the
major leagues. One of them lacked
experienced and the other initiative.
Hennis never received chance.
Detroit had Kirke and let him go.
The Boston Nationals have him now
and believe that they have a great
batter. Ness was dropped back by De-
troit. So were Westerzill, Wifi and
Cavitt Schaller was one recruit who
stuck with the big team.
CoOney, Fisher and Ingerton were
expected to be part of the Cubs reg
ular force. Not one got chance with
Chicago. Ingerton was traded to the
Boston Nationals and played some good
and so did Fisher. Ball did not get a
chance with Chicago. Griffin reported
there, but went to Boston in trade.
Kirwin, Clarke and Cook were three
young pitchers who We're selected es-
pecially for the Cubs, yet none of
them got chance to restore Chicago
to the base ball map.
The Chicago White SoX tried Mclean
while and then dropped him back to
the ST. Louis Americans Chouinard
did not last with the White Sox. nor
did McMurray. Zeider was engaged as
a third baseman and played ali over
the infield. and SO well that he made
himself a favorite in Chicago. even If
he is not the hardest batter in the
game.

came to the territory of Wisconsin in
1S47. settling first at Kenosha. and was
married there to Clarinda NJ. Glidden
September 2, 1S49. They removed to

county exhibit to the state fair and to
the Northwestern Products show at
Minneapolis in November. The
Northwestern Products show offers a
prize of $4,000 for tho best five bushels
of wheat raised in the seven north
western states and Mr.. Deets is very
anxious that South Dakota win this
prize. One of the rules governing the
contest is that all wheat entered be-
comes the property Of the Northwest
ern Products association, and Mr..
Deets has a scheme in mind that will
accomplish the desired results and at
the same time save a large amount OF
money to the farmers Of the state
who expect to enter the contest. He
would have the farmers first exhibit
their wheat at the Huron fair, where
1t would undergo the same rigorous
tests that 1t will be subject to at Min.
neapolis, and would select the ten
best samples shown at Huron and
send them to the Products show. All
OF the unsuccessful samples would be
either shipped back to their owners
or sold 1T Huron and the money turn
ed back to the farmers. This would
insure the state having the best pos
sible exhibit at Minneapolis and at
the same time prevent a considerable
loss to the farmers.
