THIS HORSE REAL
King OF MUDDERS

You have heard about the pillow
horse, the cheese horse, the coal wagon
horse, the sewing machine horse and
numerous others, but the latest to add
to the novelty collection is the swim
ming horse. Ought to be some ac-
count on a rainy day, eth?
THE history Of the swimming horse
is both interesting and unique" says
Guy 7. Rockwell in The Cleveland
Plaindealer. Seven years ago Capt.
r #. La1don of Baltimore, an old
sea captain, who loved horses and
who owned the promising stallion,
Lecture. 2:1S%. by Director. bred to
Rose Bud, an unframed mare, by wig
gins.
"The result OF this mating was a
handsome bay colt. Captain Landon's
farm was situated on Chesapeake bay
and, as he still had a laundering for
the sea, nearly every day he would
stroll along the beach, out over the
water.
When the colt was a few weeks old
the captain thought he would find out
If the young equine had any seafsr-
ing blood in him, sc he led him down
to the beach. The colt waded around
in the water and seemed to like it,
and the idea came to the captain that
perhaps 1t would be a good idea to
stake the colt near enough to the
water 81 that he could go in for a
swim occasionally. OF course, the old
captain was thinking twice for him
self and once for the colt, but at any
rate he went through with 1t.
"A rope was attached to a stake
lear enough to the water to give the
horse plenty of play, and there every
warm day the colt could be seer in
the water or near 1t. The colt was
as keen for the water as the old cap
tain hoped he would be and showed
as much grace in swimming as An
nette Kellermann.
III liked 1t so well that instead of
coming out of the water when through
swimming, the horse would lie down
at a spot where only his head. could
be seen. In this way the wise young
horse cheated the flies.
"This was just the time that Sir
Thomas Upton was in the countr;
making his steenth attempt to recap
ture the American cup. Captain Lam
don thought that Thomas Upton was
such a game man and good sportsman
and. as he hoped that the colt would
prove just as game, he named him

COBB WILL not
TRAIN WITH TEAM

No less In authority than Tyrus
Raymond Cobb has just emitted the
statement that he will not accompany
the tigers when they leave for the
south to start their training. One
weeks work, thinks T. r. Cobb. is
enough for any young player.
He doesn't say so, but 1t is a fact,
nevertheless, that Cobb is the ruler Of
his own actions in Detroit. If he
wishes to remain avn a. from the BEN
nett park grounds in the morning and
not report for practice, there isn't any
n to say nay. If he doesn't want
to, play, why, he doesn't play.
Last fall when the seaso was al
most over Tyrus got the idea In his
head h he could muster UP immor-
tai fame in writing for the news
papers. He informed Hughie Jennings
or this plan and told him he would not
play h last six games Of the year.
Or course, Jennings told him to go
ahead and do whatever he wished.
AL Of which goes to show that as a
disciplinarian Jennings isn't so much
to brag about. George Mullin, 'Davy''
Jones and Wild Bin' Donovan have
recently hurled the mighty harpoon Of
newspaper criticism into his sides
when they said in print that he al
lows Tyrus to do as he pleases, yet
sits on the bench throwing out gentle
sarcasm toward other members of the
team.
Methods Not Good.
Such methods in handling men are
not considered good ones. True,
Hughie won three pennants with the
club he has now. Yet the first time a
great team such as Connie Mack's
came across his path he was done for.
There have been chickering's going on
in Detroit for six years. When Armour
handled the club the men were lighting
among themselves all the time. And
when Hughie went there the same
s%crapping continued and is still going
on.
Coming back to Tyrus Raymond
Cobb, he remarks in his statement re-
garding the futility Of the spring sea-
son:
Training trips are useless for the
baseball player who takes care of him
self.
Il take care ,of myself the year

Very Young Preacher.
To all of which must be accorded the
notice that Cobb Is somewhat Of a
very, very young preacher. Up to his
age of 25, or possibly %, players have
a suppleness of muscle which man en-
able them to word off the stiffness
and soreness which always result
when they are a few short years older.
There is not more than one man to
every team in the country who should
boast that ne doesn't need to train.
After Ioafng all winter most Of them
must have at least three weeks to
practice and many Of them more. Jess
Tannehill pointed put that the train
ing seasons are harder as the years
roll on.
One Of the troubles with some clubs
is that they haven't got suitable men
to direct their men in training. Many
managers work their players too hard
during that time of the year. Take
Manager Buk Ewing Of the reds, for
instance. He started out with his
men in the morning and gave them a
long run Of from ten to twelve miles.
One spring he worked Pitcher Bill
Phillips so hard that he was of no use
fol the remainder of the season.
All in the Manager.
But if a club has a wise
who knows just how to handle the
men, 1t doesn't matter II they are in
the south for six weeks. Cobb's state
ment about the men working under a
boiling u and getting all tired out
has to do with the youngsters en-
tirely. A seasoned player doesn't work
hard because he knows he doesn't
have to.
When a man rests all winter his
muscles get habby and he takes on
too much flesh. These cannot be reme-
died in one weeks labor. Often they
are not entirely gone when the club
returns home. The young players work
ts;en. selves back to the minor leagues
because they cannot realize that too
much work makes the baseball Jack
a very dull lad.
Were it useless to take long train
ing trips most of the clubs would have
ceased to spend thousands Of dollars
for these. And should they learn that
one weeks trip is enough they could
ave themselves lots Of worry and
money by cutting down those expedi-
lions.
