MANAGER SMITH WANTS
A GOOD PITCHING STAFF
AT START1OF 1913 RACE
Has Eight Men at Present from Which to
Develop Capable Corps of Fingers.
Will Garry Two Southpaws.

Manager Smith recently by Eddie
Zimmerman, who wrote back to Ed
die telling him to sign the young
enom if he has cot already been
grabbed up. Hinkle halls from Shews-
bury. Pa, and Ed claims he is a
wonder. Zimmerman has shown keen
judgment on ball players, and Smith
believes implicitly in Eddie,s word.
He is waiting %anxiously for Eddie's
reply that Hinkle has been signed.
Bill Bernhard.
Big Bill Bernhard, who managed
the Memphis club of the Southern
League, speaks highly of Rollie
Atchison, the Tigers new southpaw,
and would jump at the opportunity
of landing him if. Smith could see his
way clear to let the latest acquisition
of the local pitching staff escape.
Atchison won IS and lost 6 asst year
with a team that finished in sixth
place. Bernhard played against
Smith in 1903 in a post-season series
between the Pittsburgh champions
and the pick of the American League.
Bernhard at the time was the star
pitcher for Cleveland. Since then he
has managed in the Southern League
with varied success
Two of the. post-season series
games of the year were played at
Pittsburgh and two at Cleveland.
The Pirates won two, tied one and
lost one, capturing the series. Bern
hard also sent a friendly tip about
Stengel, the Brooklyn outfielder, and
says he is acoming star, but there
is not a chance that the National
League clubs would waive on the
clever Southern Lacquer, now owned
by Brooklyn.
Swacina Heard From.
Local baseball fans who have
feared right along that Swacina has
the big league bee in his bonnet and
would not want to return here next
season need have no fear of Swat's
intentions about the coming season.
Harry has written a letter to a friend
in this city stating that he will be
delighted to play under Harry Smith
though he would not have cared to
come back under the conditions
which existed last season. Harry
puts in a boost for the new Tiger
leader by declaring he is one Of the
b~rainiest ball players he has ever
seen.

Collegiate
Problems
on Table
Surgeons Ready for
Serious Operations at To-
morrow's Consultation.

NEW YORK. Dec. 26.-Many Of
the ninety representatives of the col
leges and universities which are ex-
pected to send delegates to the Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic Association
meeting reached the city today, an
tIcipating that the sessions which
open tomorrow will bring out much
that is interesting toward the solu-
tion of problems in college athletics.
The organization was formed in
1908 when the general antagonism
against the American game of foot
ball prompted a general gathering of
the athletic heads for a reformation.
The meeting Is to be presided over
this year by Dean LeBaron Russell
Briggs, of Harvard. as the president,
Major Palmer E. Pierce is nov sta
toned in China with the Fifth United
States infantry.
1t is believed that the development
Of the English game of association
ootball will receive considerable dis
cussion, as the game has been adopt
ed by many colleges. William F.
Garcelon. graduate manager of ath-
letics at Harvard, is understood to
have prepared a report on this fea-
ture. Professor G. w. Ehler. of Wis
%consin, will present a report showing
that under the new rules football has
had fewer fatalities this season than
ever before. For the first time in
many years it is believed that there
will be no discussion of further
changes in the present football rules,
as it is said that colleges all over the
country have expressed a desire to
give the rules at least another years
trial.

KILBANE MAY DEFEND
TITLE AGAINST WHITE

CLEVELAND, Dec. 26.-Johnny
Kilbane, featherweight champion,
may meet Charley White, Chicago
lightweight, in Milwaukee about the
middle of January. White gave Kill
bane a great fight a year ago just be-
fore KiIbane went TO the coast and
became champion. Nate Lewis,
Whites manager, proposed a bout at
Milwaukee, and Kilbane and Manager
Jimmy Dunn regarded it favorably.
Boxing is not allowed n Cleveland,
but Milwaukee recently lifted the lid.

Exciting Wrestling Bouts
on Miners Theatre Stage

The wrestling bouts at Miners last
night brought rounds of applause. In
the first John LANCER, light heavy
weight champion of Australia, was
beaten by Henri Irslinger, the
acknowledged champion of England
and the holder of three of Lord
Loundsbury's championship belts, in
fourteen minutes with a double Leg
lock secured when LANCER was on a
bridge. The second bout brought to-
gether Fritz Mohl, of Switzerland,
and Sandelle, THE Terrible Greek"
The latter was the aggressor
throughout most of he bout, but
Mohl waited his chance and secured
a quarter-nelson and crotch hold on
the Greek, pinning his shoulders to
the mat in fifteen minutes and thirty
seconds of strenuous wrestling.

Ihe definite announcement made by
Manager Harry Smith, of the Tigers,
that he will taxi his pitchers South
a week earlier than the rest of the
squad proves that Smith thinks this
department of his team needs more
field. Smith believes. with most of
the Newark fans, that he will have
an infield and a set of outfielders
which will be hard to beat, and his
catching staff, composed Of Higgins,
McCarty and Smith, would make any
minor league manager envious. In
deed, any one of this trio could serve
capably as first catch for any team
in the International League.
The pitching staff, however. was
the weakest part of the Bengal ma
chine last year, and that is why Smith
started out to bolster 1t up by OBJ
tanning Rollie Atchison, a clever
southpaw, who m highly recon-
mended. Smith has always commended
that a club should have two southpaw
pitchers on its staff to use against
certain clubs. There are always at
least two clubs in every league which
find it harder to hit ~left-handers than
right-handers. Last season Provi-
dence and Jersey City were almost
helpless before Lee, and Toronto has
been beaten oftener by southpaw
pitchers than by the regular right
handed variety of singing.
AS his pitching staff now lines UP
Manager Smith has Atchison, Barger,
Bell, Enzmann, Gaskell, Lee, Schact
and he may land a Mr.. Hinkle, who
comes highly recommended by Eddie
Zimmerman.
OF this staff, Bell, Barger, Gaskell,
Enzmann and Lee r the veterans of
last years team. Barger finished the
season with Newark and was a tower
Of strength in the box. Schact is a
Bronx boy, who is boosted to the skies
by baseball experts.
Chick Hartman, who batted against
the youngster last fall, say he is a
wonder. Schact has been doing some
remarkable work on the sand lots of
the Bronx, particularly against the
heavy-hitting colored team, and it is a
well known fact that many of the
narky stars would be big league tim
Der but for the hue of their cuticle.
Young Hinkle was recommended to

Patsy Kline picked a budding flower
from the pugillstic garden yesterday
afternoon in the presence of some
LOO istic fans at the Hillside Box
ing Club. If Special Delivery Hirsch
showed his true speed yesterday, it
would be a crime for any one to trust
him with the delivery of any kind of
a package where celebrity is de-
manded. Hirsch seemed to think
that his little part of the act con-
sisted of getting on the jump every
time Patsy flourished his dynamic
left, springing around the ring with
reverse English, caroming off the
ropes and doing a little grizzly bear
hugging now and then.
Abe AttelPs protege, who was ex-
pected to make a monkey out of
Kline, according to the ante-bellum
notices, was made to resemble a kan
CARGO by the Newark boy, and though
Kline was willing to give the fans
a run for their money, Mr.. Hirsch
wasn't quite so anxious to satisfy
Christmas appetites. 1t was a poor
fight as a result of Hirsch's tactics.
Hirsch was not at all ambitious.
and did next to nothing on the ag-
gressive. In only one round did he
show any signs Of life, and then he
quickly subsidized, when, after land
ing a right to Patsy's chin, the Kline
kid came hack like a little bull and

days when he got eight cents per
message for delivering hurry-up mail.
Patsy did a lot of wild swinging
with his corkscrew left wing. but
he landed quite frequently, too.
Hirsch. however, was always backing
up, and his motion of retrogression
took the sting away from Patsy's
pet wallop-his vicious left swing.
Once Hirsch, early in the fight, got a
tip from his trainer to nail Patsy ill
the region of the ''bread-basket." and
he started out to accomplish that
task. but as soon as he got another
glimpse Of Kline uncorking another
left swing he backed water. The
trouble with Hirsch seemed to be
that he needed a pair of blinkers,
judging from the in which ne
SHE'D at Patsy's kick.
Hirsch's Fright.
Early in the bout Hirsch's physical
alteration was attributed To stage
fright. He was plainly afraid of the
Newark boy. In the first round the
pair spared for t~wo-thirds of the ses-
sion before either man made a bluff
to land a walIop. Then Patsy
whipped ove IA left, but Hirsch was
pulling up stream. and the collision
did not even shiver his timbers,
though the crowd gave vent TO lusty
cheers. Hirsch was frightened from
that point IN.
In the second round Hirsch's failure
to warm up was attributed to
cautiousness, and the fans settled
back and waited for another inning
to start the pyr%otechnies. Patsy tried
to stick in a haymaker or a break,
and was Kissed by some of the fans.
