 For San Antonio Connie Mack'S Worlds Cham piOns Will Have Squad of
 58 in Camp

Philadelphia, Feb. 2O.-The first squad of Athletic recruits left this city for San Antonio, Tex, yesterday. The embryo worlds champions are to be chaperoned by no less a parsonage than Connie Mack The veterans are to follow on March 4.

Pitcher Dave Danforth, the southpaw who made such big hit here last year, also lives close to the training grounds, and will be at San Antonio when the first squad arrives.
 There were about twenty-five persons in the party, and when the entire squad is lined up at San Antonio fifty eight men will be on the roll. This will be the largest number of players ever in a home teams training camp at the same time.

WHEN HARRY DAVIS WAS
 IN BAD WITH BOSS MACK
Cleveland Manager Was Once Releas- ed Because He Was Bicycle
 Fiend,

Harry Davis, new pilot of the Cleve- land Maps, and Connie Mack didn't al- ways drink from. the same canteen- Though they stood shoulder to shoul- der in all the various conquests of the Athletics in all those years, It was stern discipline by Mack and Patsy Donovan, and a. little rebel'iousness by Davis that really made him and Mack, Damon and Pythias in the more inn portant years that followed, says a writer in the Pittsburg GaZette-Times.
 The little breaks between the now famous pair occurred right here in Pittsburg and while Mack didn't re- sort to drastic measures, Pat Dono- van did in his first year, as manager. Few persons were aware of the real reasons for Davis departure in 1897.
 Much has been sad of Mack's gem fality and broadness, but the great leader always had a very excellent habit of making a broad distinction between employer and empIoye. Davis was a wel1-behaved, willing and am bilious youngster, but he had a fault that nett ed Mack, and later Donovan, in those days when Pittsburg rarely was in the realm of contenders for the flag.
 Davis was a bicycle fiend. His long morning spins annoyed his managers. As a scorcl1er the present leader of the Naplanders took his place among the notorious. Century clubs requir- ing 100 miles of riding in a day all had Davis qualified for membership. He loved road races, though he didn t participate To Mack's pIeadings he protested that his hobby did not affect his playing. Connie felt that he knew better and soon came an order to Da- wis that he give up bike riding at least during the championship season.
 Young in years and in the rules of discipline, Davis felt then that there had been an unfair curtailment of per sonaa liberty, ina ienable rights, etc. Mornings found him out over West ern Pennsylvania roads, out the But Ter plank or over the bikes between Pittsburgh and Greensburg.
 Patsy Donovan, who succeeded Con nie att the Pirate helm in the following year, met Davis one day and said:
 Harry, what shall 1t be? Bicycles or basebaFl?''
 ''Both," qaconically replied Davis, who though he respected his boss. conclud- showdown.
 Donovan walked away, for even in his prime as a player Donovan, like Mack, was not much given to discus sing things, especially such matters as discipline. Three days later Davis management of Milwa aukee. Donovan had speedily negotiated for his re- lease.
 Four years later when Connie Mack, Ban Johnson and others gUn-shoed in to Philadelphia to create an American working on a, railroad near Providence. Bicycles no longer was a, public fren- zy and the edge was off the scorching game. Good traits in the former Pi- rate reflected themselves in Mack's mind and a telegram turned the trick. Davis landed again with Mack and what happened ln the ensuing 10 years is baseball history.

Presidents Brother to Testify in Ray Army Scandal
 Case

Washington, Feb 20.-The papers in a blood and thunder melo-drama were never more eagerly sought than the missing war department docu- tee on Expenditures in the depart ment began search, today. The par ticular papers sought are documents in the case of Major B. B, Ray. twice saved from courtmart+al by the poll tical protection of President Taft The committee has just developed that copies of the missing papers have been made by some mysterious per son in the department who, believing an inveStiga ton imminent, feared the destruction of the documents.
 It developed, today, that mysterious copies of practically every important document in the files of the depart war department has been split be- tween factions headed by General Good and General Ainsworth- Both factions were suspicious and the com mittee believes both made copies of such documents as would appear to ton be ordered
 Representative Bulkeley, (Dem-, O., insists that, despite the existence of copies, the committee should find the originals and fix the rssponsi- bility for their disappearance This the committee agreed to attempt.
 At BuEkeIey 'F instance the commit tee decided to call Charles P. Taft brother of the President Major Ray is alleged to have rendered political service under Charles P. Taft in the 1908 campaign in return for which he received the political protection of the President. In letter now De- fore the committee, the President ra- marked that Ray presumed too nuc upon the value of these services.

Me COrmick Will
 Be With Giants
INGRAM ANNOUNCES THAT HE WILL RETAIN FORMER OUT FIELDER AS UTILITY
 HITTER.

Marlin, Tex, Feb. 20-It was hoI> day in Marlin for the young Giants and the future greats. They spent a whole day getting used to the ways of a Western town and being sized up by the Texas ranchmen, who feel some what of a proprietary interest in all New York players.
 The baggage, which was delayed en route, came in on a night train, and all is ready for an initial fling at the national pastime today.
 The ball grounds are in excellent condition Groundkeeper Murphy has been here for two months getting the field ready, and the turf is soft and Murphy is erecting a handban court and the other side will be devoted to tennis. This, by the way. is a new idea for training ball club. McGraw believes it will be a diversion that will take the minds of the players off baseball and get them in shape at the same time.
 Two new players joined the squad last night. They are Outfe1der John ston of Waco, who was with the New York club for a while last summer, and Emmett Munsel, the big pitcher from Dallas. McGraw caused some, what of a surprise today by announc- ry Mccormick this season as a utility hitter. Mccormick was with the Giants until 1909, when he retired to go into the steel business in Pitts burgh.
 Mccormick who has been reinstated by the National Commission. was to have reported at Dallas yesterday. but he missed connections and will prob ably show up today. Mccormick was always a 300 hitter

LEACH GROSS DEFEATS
 CLEVER TOMMY MALONEY

Leach Cross outfought Tommy Ma loney in a fast ten-round bout last night at the Olympic A.C., New York. Cross and his opponent went at each other like wildcats from gong to gong, each trying hard for a knock out. The battle was the third be- tween the pair, and for the third time the fighting dentist earned the popular decision. Tommy put up a better and faster showing against Leach in last nights fray than in their previous bouts, the West Side lightweight causing Cross to extend himself to the limit to gain the lau- rels. Cross had the better of Maloney in six sessions, while Tommy earned the honors in three rounds. One round was even.
 Throughout the ten rounds Cross 2.$ed a jarring right uppercut and a terrific left swing. He crashed his left with telling effect against Tom nny's face, cutting Maloney's lips. puff fng his nose and closing his left eye. Leach left the ring with a swelling under his right optic.
 Several times in the early rounds Leach brought his right up with ter rife force to the jaw, Tommy's head bobbIing back and forth every time the blow connected. In the second session Cross landed three times at MaIoney'a left eye, causing a swelling that increased in size with each round. Leach drew the claret from MaIoney'A mouth in the fourth round.

 In the heavyweight class two foot ball giants clashed-Harry Perry, the Yale gridiron tackle, and Coulson, the Harvard guard. Although Coulson outweighed his Yale rival by 20 pounds Perry won easily.

 Dick Hoblitzel, the young dentist, who guards first base for the Cinlin- nati Reds, is a full-fedged hold-out. Garry Hermann says, however, that the tooth extractor can be a hold-out until doomsday without drawing one contract calls for. Garry says Dick got a nice raise this year, and that his contract for 1912 calls for just twice the amount he received when he joined the Reds in 1909.
 Johnny Rling. manager of the Bos- ton Braves, says he will use Hank" Gowdy as a catcher next season. Hank" caught some nifty games for the Giant Yanigans at Texas last sea son, and Manager McGraw thinks Gowdy would make a better catcher than a first baseman. The fact that Gowdy will be used as a receiver in Boston would indicate that Smiling Ben'' Houser, the former Philadelphia Athletic, has clinched the first base vacancy at the Hub.
