AUTO POLO HOW TO
PUBLIC FOR FIRST TIME

Prominent automobile men and
members of the theatrical profession
will attend the first public games of
auto polo today at Madison Square
Garden at 2:3O and $50 o'clock
respectively. Roltz King will drive
one of the cars in the game this
afternoon and evening, while Clyde
Terrier will WELD the mallet. OPP
posed to this pair will be Walter
Sterling, driver, and Clarence Jack
son., mallet man.
The method of playing the game
is much the same as polo with ponies
except that conditions are necessarily
made to suit circumstances. The op-
posing automobiles take their posi-
tions at the goals they are to de-
fend, and at a signal from the referee,
dash down to the centre of the field,
in order to get first whack at the
ball. 1t requires little imagination
to appreciate the possibilities of ex-
citing moments at times, the spec
tators become so enthusiastic that
they jump to their feet and yell lusti-
ly. Upsets are common, locked wheels
are frequent, and bumps and jolts
are given and taken as mere Incl
dentals.

PRINCE GASKELLS ABILITY TO DELIVER BASE WALLOPS
IN THE PINCHES HELPS WIN MANY OF HIS w GAMES
Shreveport Star One of New
ark's Best Hitting
Pitchers.

For general a~ll-around consistency
Newark had the best hitting staff OF
pitchers boosted by any club which
fought for the international League
pennant last seasonal fact which
was often commented upon during
the course of the a c
Prince Gaskell, the Shreveport
mound artist, did his share to up
hold the swatting reputation of the
Tigers sharp-shooting squad by do
ing some timely bombarding of the
enemies deceivers, helping to- win
more than one game for himself.
There never yet was a close game
with a u needed for the home team
to win and the pitcher coming to
bat without shouting:
win your own camel" A pitcher
who can hit is not so very common
as to be rated as a commodity, and
that is why Newark fans were
lucky in having a corps of fingers
who could do their share, and some
of them more than their share, nota-
bly, Lee, Bell and Gaskell, to plug
up the bottom of the batting order
and leave not a weak spot in the
lineup.
There are innumerable causes for
pitchers being weak hitters. Many
excuses given are very plausible, but
the best of all alibis, as ball players
call excuses, is the fact that the
men who do the pitching seldom have
an opportunity to do any batting in
practise, and get a chance to face
good pitching on an average of twice
in every seven days, providing they
are worked regularly.
Batting, like every other feature
connected with the national pastime,
requires practise, and the pitchers
have very few opportunities to
WELD the willow. The day after a
pitcher has taken his turn in the
box he is usually permitted to rest
from any exercise. On the following
day he pitches to the batters in the

Kirkpatrick Has High Mark
at Third Base for Brooklyn

According to the official fielding
statistics of the National League the
following team is the best aggrega-
ton it would be possible to pick as
a defensive aggregation:
Jake .Daubert. first base; Dick
Egan, second base; Hans Lobert,
third base; Wagner, shortstop;
Leach, Marsans and Carey, outfield-
ers; Gibson and Clarke, catchers;
Rucker, Vanguard and Robinson,
pitchers.
As usual the fielding averages show
that the championship team, that is
the winner of the 1912 pennant, did
not rank high in team fielding. The
Giants were down in seventh place
while the Pirates showed the way to
all other teams in defensive work.
1t proves that the Giants won the
flag by their ability to score runs
and not their clever defensive work.
1t shows all the more clearly the
wonderful merits of Marquard and
Mathewson as pitchers of the first
magnitude in making wonderful rec
ords with a defense behind them that
leaked and seeped like a sieve at
times-just like it did in the worlds
series. q
Enos Kirkpatrick, who was grad
uated from the Newark club to
Brooklyn in August, showed up well
as a thirdbaseman, finishing third in
the list with a mark of 1868 for TWEEN
ty-nine games.
Hans Lobert was the real leader
of the third-sackers, but young
Dodge. of Philadelphia, made a won
derful showing in twenty-three
games, during which he handled sew
enty-four chances without an error.
Dodge promises to develop into a
rhenom as o as. he gets the prop
er punch WITH the stick. He played
a rafting game against the Tigers
last spring in an exhibition contest
at Norfolk and Joe McGinnity was
on the point Of putting through a
deal for him when the management
of the Tars reneged and called off
the transaction.
Dots Miller, the Kearny boy,
made a most creditable showing at
first base for the Pirates, nosing out
Fred Merkel and Dick Hobltzel,
rated as two of the best initial sack
ers in the league. Dots showed a
mark of 1856 for 147 games.
Dick Harley. of Philadelphia, has
been selected to coach ~Georgetown's
1918 baseball team. Harley succeeds
Jim Sprlngman. who turned out rep
resentative teams in the last two
years.
President James H. O'Rourke, of
the Eastern Association, is seriously
ill at his home in Bridgeport, Conn.
O'Rourke's ailment is diagnosed as a
severe cold, with danger of pneu-
monia developing. His illness may

Smith Expects GaskeIl to Star
When Worked in
Turn.

In in his turn all Of last season, he
would have been rated as one Of the
best right-handers in the league
among the newcomers. Prince has
always been used TO facing a team
every fourth day. regardless Of the
opposing teams standing in the race.
Last year. with Scranton, he won
twenty games and lost but ten, with
a team that wound up in seventh
place. This year he was worked in
fits and starts. At times Gaskell was
driven Ike a truck horse and then
again groomed and held back
like a e. horse before starting a
contest. He was not always allowed
to start in his turn, Joe McGinnity
seeming to have a p~reconceived idea
that Gaskell could beat only certain
teams, an opinion which was blasted
later in the season.
AT length. after working parts of
three games in three days, his arm
warped up and he was unable TO go
the route late in the season. Ga skell
became dissatisfied and threatened to
quit the Tigers, but now that Smith
Is dL tie Itill VI llE lDIdl tluDs bdS-
kell will probably be willing to re
turn next spring in the best Of shape,
as he was last year. Gaskeli stated
when he left here in September that
he would play on the coast mex sea-
son or quit baseball, rather than to
return here under the existing condi-
tions.
In the spring of the year Gaskell
showed form that was most impress
sive. He burned things up at Peters
burg and gave promise of being a
world-beater. 1t will be one of Man
ager Harry Smiths managerial tasks
to bring Gaskell around and make
him see that another year as a mem
Der of the Tigers will be to his advan-
tage as a future star. And the
chances are that Gaskell will return
and prove his real worth TO Tiger
fans under proper treatment.

NELSON HAS NEW PUNCH

NEW YORK, Dec. Leading New
York boxing critics who witnessed
Battling Nelson in action against
Leach Cross Thanksgiving Day are
of the opinion that the wonderful
Dane still retains the stamina and
durability which made him one of the
greatest figures in the ring.
Nelson has cultivated a new style
of punching. The Dane seems to rea-
lie that his punch does not carry its
old-time snap. so he now drives his
blows more with straight-arm motion
than formerly, using the weight off
his entire body behind them. II
throws himself at his opponent, arm
extended, and swapping as he reaches

would be leader of his club next year,
and further stated that it was the
