for distinctly special contest, as it is practically certain at this time that William A. Larned the seven times holder of the national championship will not play through, as the new rules require that the competition will be arranged so as to bring him out in a special event.
 So far three suggestions have been made-a double match or matches be- tween pairs of national prominence, a mixed doubles tournament which would be new to Newport and in which the leading women and men of the country would be paired, and a golf event.
 As regards the latter it is under stood that the golf club is again to of fer prize for the visiting lawn tennis players, as was done last season. so that the special trophy is likely to be confined to a strictly turf court com petition.

Big Chief Meyers Uses Largest Bat

"CHIEFV' MEYERS of the New York
 Giants swings the largest and heaviest bat in the major leagues
 Meyers war club weighs sixty ounces. He wants the biggest, heavi est bat that he can obtain. And should Heinie Zimmerman. the slugger on the Cubs, place his bat alongside that of the Giant catcher it would look small indeed, because Zimmerman wields bat which weighs about forty ounces, or only tWO-thirds as heavy as that of the chief
 Ball players frequently pair off in selecting their bats Fred Clarke and Tyrus Cobb use the same sort of war club. or, rather. they did until Clarke became a bench manager. Harry Davis of the Maps and Eddie Collins wield a stick that is of the same shape and weight Joe Jackson of the Maps and James Callahan, manager of the Sox. must have the same shaped war club. but Callahan wants his a bit heavier He has what they call more wood" in his. Jackson's weighs about forty ounces, while that of Callahan will run about three ounces heavier.

Bill Donovan Was Too Speedy

 Complying with orders. Donovan went to Navin field to work out Bill scanned the bulletin board and discov- cred that he was the only one left at home.
 With no catcher to receive him Bill went to work He hurled the ball against the heavy padding in front of the grand stand. Every time he pitch ed he had to walk up and recover the ball. This gave him plenty of exercise, but doing the same thing day after day became monOtonOuS.
 Bill engaged Artie Sheahan as catch er but Arthur could not find a glove large enough to hold Donovan's fast one, so Art was forced to retire. Bill continued pitching to the heavy pad ding and got into excellent shape run ming up and recovering the ball.

 q don't care whether the bat lasts long time not" said Hans. If can get a base hit or two out of the bat, all well and good. I'll get lot of bats
 Which accounts for the fact that when it comes to breaking war clubs Wagner is in class by himself.
 When it comes to the other end of the story, the short and light bat, Harry Lord is present. The captain of the White Sox wields club which looks mighty small indeed when placed alongside the club used by Chief Mey CTS. Lord has an idea that he can get lot more base hits when he is against a curve ball pitcher if he will swing a short and light bat, and his club sell dom runs over thirty ounces in weight.
 Frank Schulte has one of the freak bats of the game. It is of average weight-about forty ounces But the weight is all in the end, the slugging end. The handle is the smallest made for any batter In the major leagues. and many of the players refer to his war club as a switch But many will

Here's the Most Eccentric
 Ball Player

MYSTERIOUS" MITCHELL. who,
 by reason of his eccentricities, was one of the best press agents (while the novelty lasted) who ever graced a pitching staff of a coast league ball team, lasted two days as a member of the Vernon squad Then his old individ- uality refused to be stified longer, and Mitchell was turned loose to devote his talents in other directions than on a bunch of inappreciative ball players.
 When Mitchell sprang into the lime light with the Seals his eccentricities took the form Of taxicabs and conceal ed identity. A few weeks ago, when he appeared with the San Francisco State leaguers at Lodi. he rode to the grounds in a taXicab and walked ma jestically out on the field clad in a long flowing bath robe. When he joined the Vernon squad for a tryout Mitchell promised that he would forego all these luxuries.
 He kept his promise as far as taxi cabs and bath robes were concerned, but the mysterious one made the mis- take of letting it become known that he was eating all his meals in his room at the hotel and ordering up meals which were big enough for two or three average human beings This did not make a hit with the members of the Vernon club and Mysterious Mitchell quietly disappeared. Whither he went will remain a mystery until he crops up with some other team.

Fining Players For Mistakes Not
 Good Policy

THE Chicago club was in Cincinnati fined First Baseman Hoblitzell for an error in judgment in leaving first bag to try to field batted ball that Second Baseman Egan could have stopped. The Cubs believe that O'Day made big mistake in this move. They say that the fault in the play was really the failure of Pitcher Benton to cover the base in time.
 Hanks explosion must have been similar to the flare up of Roger Bres- nahan in the final Pittsburgh St. Louis game recently. Roger plastered on the fines right and left. He assessed Now rey $50 for not trying for the high fly back of the pitcher. which Hauser chased. but muffed. He charged the pitcher $50 for giving base on balls and slapped on several other penalties
 This is not Fred Clarke's policy and never has been and as he has produced more winners than mos of the other managers his method must be a pretty good one
 Occasionally Clarke will fine pitch CT for not covering first base, but when he does so he does not make the pen atty more than s1O for the first offense He will rebuke player for careless ness. but not in a hundred years would he roast a man who failed after mak- ing an earnest effort
 Clarke had longer active service in the field than McGraw, Chance, Bres- nahan, O'Day and others and knows the game from a players standpoint. He knows exactly how bad the aver age tosser feels after a costly error, and he realizes the futility of lecture or scolding.
 During the recent eastern trip two games were lost on errors, and in each case Clarke never said a word to ex- press his disappointment If Clarke had shown his displeasure and roasted l the offenders for something they re- | gretted as much as he did they might and sulked for several days. As it was, 1 they tried all the harder to make up for ! their errors
 "The effect of a fining policy is to make players timid." said one of the Pirates recently. Let a pitcher feel | that there is danger of his being fined for giving base on balls, and to pro- ! tect himself he will lob the ball over | the plate in a pinch. On the Pitts 1 do our best and hustle all we know how Clarke will stand by us even when we fail"

Al Palzer Is Logical
 White Hope

AL PALZER is affectiOnately refer
 red to by ardent admirers as an enlarged edition of Terrible Terry McGovern, and the description seems to fit him well. to judge from the style of fighting he has adopted and by ad- herring to which closely he has won a respectable string of victories.
 There is no man one can recall among the heavyweights of the past two decades with whom one might compare this youthful aspirant Tor championship honors unless it might be Thomas Sharkey. The sailor and the Iowan would compare well in az gressiveness.
 Palzer has adopted the same rush ing tactics that made famous the for mer pride of the navy, but Al is pos sessed of several natural attributes that the New York boniface could not boast of during his fighting days weight, phenomenal strength and ex- treme youth are among the adVan- 1ages Also Al hits quite as hefty a punch. if not more so. and glorles In recuperative qualities that seem to de- fy the laws of nature.
 In his battles with Kaufman and Wells Palzer has been forced to sub init to enough punishment in each in- stance to kill an ordinary person be fore calling on his wonderful reserve powers to wear his man down and finally put over the finishing touches.
 Still one would imagine the several beatings he has assimilated to date would have had the effect of causing him to try to block a punch occasion ally. Nature teaches us defense of some sort. if only a crude style. but Palzer either scorns the use of a pro- tective system or else he cant think of more than one thing at one and the same time

Why Hans Wagner
 Is Sad

HONUS WAGNER'S dog is dead, and
 the great shortstop of the Pitts burgh ball team is heartbroken. For the last nine years Wagner has cared for but two things-baseball and his dog. Jason Weatherbee.
 Wagner received the news from Pittsburgh the other day that Jason was dead poisoned by some person who cared little for baseball or dogs. The great Hans wanted to leave imme- diately for Pittsburgh to bury his dog and prepare the poisoner for the un- dertaker and it took all the authority that Fred Clarke, the manager of the Pittsburgh team, could bring to bear to induce Wagner to wait until the club returned to Pittsburgh.
 Wagner has one of the most pe- culiar personalities in baseball. He has made few friends. preferring to stay by himself but the dog has been his constant companion, and Jason never was absent from the Pittsburgh bench when the Pirates were playing at home Frequently Wagner took Ja son on the road with him. One of the familiar sights around Carnegie, Pa, where Wagner lives. was the big short stop riding in his automobile with his dog
 Jason's final official appearance was | in the last game that the Pirates play ed at home with the St. Louis club on Decoration day. Wagner was put out of the contest at that time for object ing to a decision of the umpire. As | Wagner was leaving the field Jason dashed out from the bench. much after the manner of an irate, protesting manager, and tried to attack the um- 1 pire. The umpire maintained that Wagner had set the dog upon him, and an official report of the incident was made to President Thomas J. Lynch. Wagner denied that he had melted the
 animal against the umpire but allow l ed that he just naturally hated umpires 1 anyway.
 l I'm too old now to raise another dog
 and teach him baseball" declared Ho-
 nus. That dog knew more about base l ball than many players 1 have seen. He'd bark when the club began to rally i bench when the club was behind What kind of dog was he?" Wag
 ner was asked
 He was mostly bulldog" ,eplied the
 great hitter and I raised him from pup. He never seemed well after he
 went up against owens that day in Pittsburgh I shouldn't wonder if he
 got hold of the umpires leg, and that l did him up.'

Maruuard's Record Will Stay

PUBE MARQUARD'S record of nine
 teen consecutive victories will stand for many years to come. It is one of the most remarkable pitching performances in the history of base ball and is probably a greater achieve ment than similar performances which appear greater because in the old days the game was much different from what it is today.
 Marquards success after several years of failure merely goes to show that if a pitcher has ability he can eventually be taught the fine points of the game. which make it possible for him to be a success. McGraw deserves a lot of credit for having held on to Marquard when it seemed that the youngster would never make a major league pitcher

LaVinder started poorly this year with the Cubs. and it looked at one time as though he was about to go to the minors, but Chance expressed confidence in him, the same having since been justified by the excellent work of the youngster against the Giants.

 CIT KNABE, the litle second sacker
 of the Phillies, is full of pepper" at all times and is always playing to win. He has improved greatly ill his playing during the past season and is now one of the best second basemen in the game.
 He is the life of the Quakers. and with him out of the game the Phila- delphians would be a weak aggrega- ton. Strange how one player with plenty of vigor and dash will make a ball club.
 A PITCHER does not establish his
 ability to make good in fast com pany by a few good performances That is frequently demonstrated and Is shown by the fact that after appar- ently making most satisfactory showing many of the young pitchers who come into fast company fail
 Not until the youngsters have proved that their deliveries cannot be solved is their ability to make good estab- lished. It frequently happens that aft CT winning two or three games young pitcher will be hit with great ease. This because the batters have learn ed his peculiarities.

he has proved a mark for opposing teams. In such cases it becomes question of whether the pitcher can overcome the advantage the batters have gained over him before he is es- tablished as major league material. WHERE wasn't even a losers end to
 console Jim Flynn for his battering and defeat at the hands of Jack John son. Flynn no doubt had hopes of winning. He was all confidence before the battle, and the worst he could fig ure was a losers end which would help keep the wolf from the door.
 But when he stepped into the ring and saw the almost empty arena it must have dawned on him that his only chance to get anything was to win. This he failed to do, and when it came to settling up all there was for Flynn was a secondhand automobile which had belonged to Curley, and this was not worth enough to pay his training expenses.
