THE SPEED TIE HARD
 BATTED BALL TRAVELS

\ SIX any baseball enthusiast how
 fast an aN craze grOunder travels during it's first IOu feet from the bat and is-answer will be anywhere from 70 to 200 miles an hour. Split second watches and careful timing of many grounded balls have established. says the Technical World the fact that the average speed of ground balls that iS. those struck bs the bat of the batsmau from far pitched ball. which strike the field before they land in fie!ders hands-is at the rate of all most sixty miles all hour
 Sixty miles an hour is lightweight feet per second.
 The bases are ninety feet apart. A man who can run 100 yards in eleven seconds, which is fast running for any one particularly so for man with baseball shoes and uniform on, can run ninety feet in 3.3 seconds. Is it any wonder that a ball which is felded in it's first 100 feet of travel usually reach es first just a fraction of second be- fore or after the runner sets foot upon it?
 Every fan knows that the many close decisions a first base form one of the Vaccinations of the game. The speed of the batted ball, the speed at which fielder can travel from his position to the point where he can meet and field the batted ball, the speed with which he can stop the bail. pick it up. set himself for the throw, the speed of the ball across the diamond from his throw and the speed of the travelling runner are so nicely balanced that il is always question of whether or not the ruuuer will get there in time for the crowd to see the umEircs hands go down or whether he will face d thumb over a shoulder

TNHE captaincy of the Philadelphia
 Athletics is nothing more than an honorary position, and. although the veteran centerfieider Danny Murphy is the field leader. it would not make a great deal of difference which one of the players on the team Connie Mack had given the job Just how impor- tant d part the captain plays on that team was demonstrated last year, when Harry Davis. who had the title. spent most of his time on the bench from where Mack. of course. rules matters.
 Davis absence from the field, how ever. did not prove d handicap To the champions who went right on winning pennauts The very fact that Danny Murphy. an outfelder, was appointed to succeed Davis shows how much of a figure the captain cuts. for Murphy WilI hardly be in position to do much directing or suggesting from his posi- tion in deep right field
 But custom has made it necessary to have captain. and Connie Mack is not the one to upset tradition Of course it is generally supposed that the captain takes charge of the team on the field. and yet when the fact is re membered that Davis was on the bench most of last season it would seem that the Athletics ran loose during the greater rart of the campaign.

HERMAN 'SCHAEFER. formerly of
 the Detroit Tigers and now of the Washingtons, is the father of the American league. There are other fd- thers of course. Charlie Sommers. owner of the Cleveland club, and Byron E. Johnson, president of the league. were the big men at the start and are generally credited with the birth of the organization, as SOmmers furnished the 'cuSh" and Johnson the push" That combination made the league possible. but among players Schaefer can claim to be the real vetera.'

WILL RUNNER JONES' GARRY OFF THE NILE HONORS?

"Shep" has set his mind on winning the half mile event at the tryouts.
 Believing that he will be opposed by Jones he has begun training with a view of getting himself in the best condition of his career Those most familiar with the character of Shep- Pard say the l. A. A C. champion will win that event or end his athletic ca reer i'll ,he attempt.
 Of KiViat great things are expected this year. It is pointed out that he is young, lives clean life. trains hard and possesses all the essential qualities that go to make up a great miller.
 On q track like that at Cambridge. which is considered the fastest in the world. his admirers say he will travel a mile in the Olympic tryouts in record
Arizona republican., 1912-05-21

Most of his admirers point to his half mile intercollegiate and one mile world $ records and add. Hell improve and smash more records next time"
 Others are stronger in their praise and say he is in class by himself; that he is great runner while the other noted American middle distance men are only fair performers.
 Men. including some of those who saw his great performances last year admit he is d wonder, but refuse to admit that he can defeat Melvin Shep- bard at d half mile or Abel Hiviat or oscar HedIund in one mile event.
 They point out that Sheppard is inn proving rather than going back and that when he is in prime condition can defeat any half miller in. the world.

WILL John Paul Jones, the great runner of Cornell university carry all the middle distance honors in the Olympic tryouts? is the question most asked in athletic circles these days He, his trainer, all the Cornell students and thousands of those who saw him compete in the Intercollegiate championships at the Harvard stadium last year say he will win any event in which he starts. They declare him to be the greatest runner America ever produced and all look for him to win his races in record time.
 But there are many experts who take an opposite view. They agree he is q great runner. but some of them refuse to admit he can defeat the sea soned club champions.

organization OLeary. who was re gently released by the Tigers. could lay claim to the title jointly with Schaefer but he is now out of the league.
 In 1900 the American league con sisted of Chicago. Cleveland Mime apOlis. Milwaukee. Indianapolis Bufa lO Detroit and Kansas City.
 Schaefer joined the Kansas City team in that year. "Schaef' played for Colorado Springs in 1901. with the Cubs in 1902. Milwaukee in 1903 and 1904. The following year Detroit se- cured Schaefer
 There are other players who may have served more years consecutiVely in the league than Schaefer, but there lis none who entered the American league as early as Germany did.

It is interesting to note the number of old timers. heroes of the 1908 Olympic games. who are going to compete for the United States this season. Among them are Martin Sheridan. the great all around athlete: Dan KeI- Iy, the great sprinter and broad jumper; Forrest Smithson, the worlds champion hurdler, and Jim Rector, sprlnter. According to reports, all four are going to the games in Stockholm.

MANAGER HARRY WOLVERTON

~'A of the New York Americans planes the lack of condition of his players for the poor start his team has made in the race. There is undoubted- lv d lot to be attributed to condition, but Wolvertou will find in time that this is not all that his team lacks. As il is novv.made up the New York aggre- eatiou is about the weakest in the league. It has minor league infiold, barring Chase. of course. while its out field is hardly to be compared with any in the league.
 The time will come when his pitchers will show more than they have. but as

The failure of the New York team would mean q great loss to all the other clubs in the league. for with the Giants play ing nigh class ball all New York will cater to the National leaguers while the Highlanders' park is not going to be crowded if the team is as low in the race as it promises to be.
