Killing PREDICTS
BETTER SEASON
FOR BOSTON CLUB
New Brand of Baseball for
National League
Team.

Those who laughed at the wild bat
ting of the Boston Nationals last year,
resulting in so few runs, are due for a
change of visage this coming season,
according to Manager Johnny King.
We're going to show some of them
that we are in the race for keeps this
year." is his announcement.
Look at the averages of the hlttcrs
last year, and see where the Boston
club got off. We had four out of the
first ten in the list" says King, land
Bill Sweeney was eleventh. We wasted
our strength. that's all, just wasted it.
This year I'm going to try to have the
team play the brand of ball the PEN
nant-winning Cubs used to play when 1
was with them.
We've got some better twirlers for
1912 than we had last year. and with
Mike Donlin, George Jackson, and Doc
Miller pounding out the bingles for the
outtield, and Bill Sweeney, Jay Kirke,
and Scotty Ingerton doing likewise for
the intield-well, the Pilgrims are going
to have a lot to do with deciding where
the pennant goes"

Rumors are running around that in
his effort to build up the Cobs cnce
more Chubby" Charlie Murphy is Will
Ing to pay Roger Bresnahan $1,000 for
Ed Konetchy, the big first baseman Of
the Cardinals. However, it Is also
said that Roger will decline the offer.
The Cubs are sadly in need UC a num-
Der of first-Class players, one of whom
is a guardian for the first corner.
Frank Chances days are numbered in
baseball. and Vic Safer is not quite
heavy enough for the position. ko-
netchy, dissatisfied with his berth in
st. Louis, looks very good to Murphy
and Chance.
ITO get a good man like Konctchy,"
says President Murphy, I'D stop at no
figure. Yes, I'd be willing to pay $50
900 for Konetchy today. We made a
tactical error in letting Fred Ludtrus
go to the Phillies. We could use him
now. However, that's one OF the
strange things of baseball When with
the Cubs Luderus didn't show a thing.
In Philadelphia he is star. That s
why I'm on the watch for a good man,
good fielder and hard hitter. ko-
netchy would fill the bill in every way"

National Lawn Tennis
Association to Meet

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-Representatives
of the several hundred prominent ten
mis- clubs and associations throughout
the country are arriving from all d.
rections to attend the thirty first an
nual meeting of the United States Ma
tional Lawn Tennis Association to be
held tomorrow at the Waldorf Astoria,
in this city. The meeting promises to
be one of unusual interest and i'm
portance to all devotees of the game.
The awarding of the championships
for 1912 is one of the first matters to
be taken up at the meeting. The effort
to take the big tournament away from
Newport, where the event has been held
regularly for a number of years, will
be renewed. The Point Judith Country
Club, of NarraGansett Pier, will make
a strong bid for both the singles and
doubles events. Philadelphia will also
be a factor, and the Merton Cricket
Club, of HaVerford, and the German
town Club will enter the field II the
decision is against Newport. Another
important matter to engage the atten-
ton of the meeting is the proposed
adoption of new rules to govern the
ranking committee.
A successor will be elected to sue
coed James Dwight, of Boston, the vet
eran president of the association, who
has declined to stand for reelection
Among those prominently mentioned Ia
succeed him are William A. Larned
the present champion, and Henry w
Slocum, former champion and presi-

Kid Elbcrfeld. the Nationals last vet
Gran to feel the call of the bush. is like
ly TO become manager of the Chatta-
nooga Club next year. II he is lucky
this season and plays the kind of ball
he is accustomed TO playing, many fans
believe that the Southern League will
vote him a statue OF gold or something
like that for his Cussedness and game
ness. traits very much admired down in
Dixie.
If Billy Smith doesn't have much luck
with his club this coming season. Elbcr-
field stands a very good chance OF
swinging into his place as leader of the
club. Certainly, Elberfeld will be the
Johnny on the Spot" and can he de-
pended upon to further his own interests
as much as possible.
If EIberfeld's injuries do not keep him
on the bench, he should have at least
five years more of playing III him. The
oldest and Gran! lest of veterans can
lengthen their diamond existence in the
Southern League, and on this account
the "Tabasco Kid" should become a
manager in a few seasons.
