Heatstroke ana sunstroke.

Heatstroke and sunstroke are terms usually applied indifferentIy to either of TWO quite distinct conditions. to each of which only one of the names properly applies. Heatstroke, as its name implies. is a condition caused by the action of excessive heat. either the torrid heat of summer or the artificial heat of a foundry. furnace. the stoke hole of a steamship. etc It occurs with almost as great frequency al night as in the day, and it's victims may be overcome on a cloudy day or without having ventured from their homes. The other form. properly call ed sunstroke. is due to the direct ac ton of the sun--probably of it's ultra violet or chemical rays rather than of its heat rays. Only those who have been long exposed to the direct rays of the sun. such as soldiers on the march. harveaters. ball players, etc. are the subjects of true sunStroke.-Dr. T. L Stedman in Good Housekeeping.

Knockout Brown
 May Fight Hogan
Californian Anxious to S:gn For Twenty Round Bout For
 $10,O00 Side Bet

If Knockout Brown is anxious Co wipe out his recent defeat at the hands of One Round Hogan he can secure match in Frisco under rath- CT unusual terms. Hogan's manager. Gil Boag, recently posted $1,O0O in cash with Prom moter James w. Golf roth in the Golden Gate City as q forfeit and a guarantee of good faith and made it clear that the One Round person would meet Brown in a tWeu- ty round bout at 133 pounds ringsides with S10,O0O side bet and the en- tire purse to go to the winner. Boag possibly overlooked the fact that the laws of California prohibit side bets, but the other conditions named by him can be carried out to the letter if Brown and his manager, Dan Nor. gan, desire action.
 Hogan, however, must defeat Har- lem Tommy Murphy before he can hope for a reply from Brown. The Hogan Murphy battle, with a twenty round limit, will take place undeE CofrOth's supervision in Frisco next Wednesday night and Jack WeIch will referee. As both contestants are in fine condition just now there ia widespread interest in the result. Ho- gan has shown steady improvement during the last few months and Boag actually believes that some day h8 will defeat Wolgast, who knocked him out in two rounds here last year. :.
 Murphy also made Brown look cheap in a bout in Brooklyn last year. but several weeks later Brown put him to sleep in round. which caused no end of unpleasant gossip.
 Murnhy regained much prestigs Packy Mcfarland in Frisco on Thanksgiving Day and also showed plenty of skill in a recent bout here with Joe Bedell. Murphy and Hogan ed, with the winner in line for an- other scrap with Brown.

WOIVertOn Will
 Try For Third Base
Manager of New York Ameri- cans Thinks He Can Play Well Enough to Hold
 Position

Another candidate for membership in the ''come back club, of which Jimmy Callahan Is grand master, will be seen in Harry Wobverton, the new boss of the Yankees At least Vol verton's talk would give that impres- sion.
 T will be batting them out before the season goes very far" said the Hilltop skipper when questioned as to his intentions about playing. 'I do not mean by that that have picked out a regular berth for myself, but am going to get out this Spring and fight as hard for a position as If I were a, young colt breaking in. And if Dolan and Hartzen Keep me off that third base corner they'll know they have been to the races.
 T suppose I'm like ever body else; human nature makes 1t hard for us to take the count It's not very likely that an old veteran of fifteen years can make the youngsters take back seat. But that's just what I'm going to attempt. I'm not so foolish in the head as to favor. myself, of course. But I'm going to be inshape to get wrong and deliver the goods till the right man gets back in harness. I want to be able to play to demon strate fin that manner rather than to dwell on past performances. And I think the Yankees will find that their manager Is far from being a dead one.
 eff I only had another set of legs I'd pick myself for a regular billet ever 1t was; can field as well and can hit the ball as hard and often. But my ankles have been bad for a couple of years had to keep 'em braced up last year on the Coast, but at that got away with 147 full games.

Ball Players Not
 Fond Of St. Louis
Fans in That City to Rabid and
 Hand Out Many Boasts

That baseball players are human and have human instincts can be ac- cepted as an axiom. They have their likes and dislikes just as have all other mortals, but the ways in which they exhibit them are sometimes most singular.
 It has been said that when a ball player acquires an aversion for any thing, or for any place, nothing can erase it. This may be true, and again there is one city in the big league cir cults which players seem to try to steer clear of. If already there, they strain to get away. and once gone,
 That town is St. Louis.
 The reason is not that St Louis is not good baseball city, for it is a good one. In fact, is too good, and
 After comparing the crowds that turn out at the different big lea gue parks ttSough several years, no other conclusion can be drawn than that bunch of baseball fanatics in the country. They are a boon to the ma g. nate but bane to the player. They study baseball and, as a rule. know baseball much better than the brother fan in, say, for instance, Chicago, or Philadelphia, with all their champion teams.
 These bugs go into spasms of en-
  work when it is good, but they em- ploy' equally extreme methods in evincing their displeasure when his efforts are unproductive of results. They have an efficient booster band, but the "knockers' cIub'' can play rings around the other gang. And they do so. and have been doing so for the past decade. The unpopular ity of a player is so magnified by the fans that the manager has to get rid of him whether he wants to or not.
 ResuIt-every club excepting one, the Washington Americans-in both big leagues has at least one former St. Louisan on it's roster, and, in prac- tically every case, the St. L~-Iis turn down is making good with a ven geance, some as players, some al man agers and some as club presidents. Every position on the diamond Is rep resented by them.
 Former St. Louis players in the Ma tional League are: New York-Man- ager McGraw and Outfielder Jack Murray; Boston-OutfieIder Nike Don lin and Pitcher Cy Young; Brooklyn OutfieIder Hub Northern; Pittsburgh -OutfieIder Vincent Campbell, Third Baseman Bobby Byrne and Pitcher Lefty Leifield; Chicago-Outfie1de Artie Hofmann and Pitcher Ed ReuI- bach; Cincinnati - Pitcher Arthur F'romn1e; elphia-Pitcher Earl Moore.

Kid Sherwood To

 ven Management
Gartford Courantl

Manager George NJ Cameron of New Haven Is planning to play Kid Sherwood in the outfeld this season. They will have to keep the grass cut close out there or the kid will get lost. Sherwood is the only third base man in the league who was able to hide behind the third base bag. Run ners failed to see him and made a dash from second. thinking that third was uncovered, only to see him dart from behind with the ball in his hand and put them out. Cameron may play Kopf at third. He farmed Kopf out to Fall River last season and he was considered one of the best infielders in the New England league. Manager Cameron also announces that Phil Corcoran may not wear a New Haven uniform this season.
 much a fixture to New Haven base ball as the rock itself He did not pitch much, but was used to take tickets on the horse gate. For out Sherwood, Connell, Foster, Cough. Burke and Chief Williams. The New Haven Leader urges Cameron to get a new captain but Manager Cameron says he would dispose of the Sea View Hotel before he would let Jerry go. He farmed Williams, the Indian, to the New England league last season and if he does not play him this sea son he may loan him to Sam Simmons the postmaster at Savin Rock. Sam thinks that the redskin would fit in card booth. Cameron is after pitch CT, catcher and first baseman.
 He has three pitchers in Reisigl, Slim Foster and Jensen. Providence has offered Cameron $500 and two players for Jensen and the manager is holding out for a thousand wheels. Manager Cameron is in correspond ence with a number of bushers who want a try out and board at his sea side hotel. It was said at the recent meeting that Manager Murphy of New Britain was willing to wager Manager Cameron a dinner at the Colonnade that his team would win two games to one with New Haven the coming season.

HUGH DUFFY SAYS GREGG
 MAY 60 BACK NEXT SEASON
Former Chicago Manager Thinks Cleveland Star Has Worked
 Himself Out.

Hugh Duffy. former manager of the Chicago White Sox and now the di- rector of the fortunes of the MiIwau- differs with Ty Cobb in that he thinks Vean Gregg next season will fall far short of the record he made In 1911. Duffy intimates that Gregg's arm has been injured beyond repair.
 fI don't think Gregg will set the American league on fire as he did last year. said Duffy recently. He was a wonderful pitcher last season, but in his last game against the White Sox he didn't have a thing, and every time he threw the ball it ap- peared to hurt him. A couple of play CTS told me that his arm had gone, but it did not appear to be as bad as that at the time. and possibly a winters rest will bring the 'youngster around all right. Gregg certainly was a remarkable pitcher last season, and I hope that the work which he did has not injured him permanently"

 If the situation in Waterbury isn't serrGed within short time the Brass City fans will have to be satisfied with amateur and semi professional ball this season. said President O'Rourke of the Connecticut league. q understand that the folks up there have an impression that they can brig big league teams up there on Sundays and make some money But they can't do it.''
 '"The Connecticut league will hold Waterbury even if no club is placed there this season. The territory will belong to the league which means that no team in organized ball can play in Waterbury without the con- sent of the league directors. Of course we will not give our consent terbury unless something is done pret- ty soon.''
 President O'Rourke thinks ONen is justified in refusing to pay the $1,- mand before they will permit Dan to use the baseball grounds. The presi- dent says O'Neil does not owe the money but has been willing to compro- mise by giving the note holders the refreshment privilege at the park and has offered to sell them the franchise for $1. 800.
