BENCHED. AND THEN
SOLD IS PROGRAM
FOR JOE GRANEY
Has Been on Downward Trail
Since Maps Returned Him
From Portland.

CLEVELAND. Jan. Kits crowdins
the season to say II now. but here
goes: "Graney will be benched for the
time being and then will be traded or
sold"
This is a regular item from the Maps
spring training camp.
Ever since the Maps brought him back
from Portland a changed man-changed
from a pitcher to an outfielder-John
Gladstone Graney's career has had one
tough spot after another.
First his nickname was changed. We
used to call him Mickey. Vice Presi-
dent Barnard said Mickey made Graney
appear to be a common per- IN and upon
Barney's request he was called Jack.
Then the Nap losses set out to get
his job. They signed Artie Kruger
and Bris Lord, but before the season
field, and Krueger out Of the league.
Dave Callahan came then and played
such good ball that the fans began to
wish Graney's new boss would be kind
to him. Callahan went the way Of
Kruger.
Hank Butcher was next Hank was
reputed to be some sun fielder, and he
was. but for all-round efficiency he
didn't come close to John Gladstone.
Art Hanger wasebrought from Toledo
last season to replace Graney. He's
back in the minors.
Now they've got two men after Gra-
news berth. Little Memo Liebold and
Rnddy RYAN will both bid to beat out
old Three and Two" as the fans have
named Graney.
That old three and two stuff has
kept Graney solid when his batting
wasn't anything extra and when, with
Birdie cree or Davy Jones in town, he
looked like an everyday sort of left
fielder. Graney gets more bases on
balls than any other batter in the
league. He draws three balls and two
strikes half the time.
Ryan and Liebold are also candidates
for Manager Birmingham's place in
center field, but President Somers
wants Birmy to keep on playing, So it's
likely they'll both be after Graney's
position.
His batting figures indicate that Gra-
ney slipped a little last season. but the
averages don't tell the whole story. Um-
pire Bill Dineen stepped on Jacks
stomach in Chicago. Jack had ptomaine
noisoning in Boston. and In Detroit his
Fight collarbone was broken when he
diyed for a long fly, which he caught.
He batted only .2il last season as
against 26s for 1910, and the same aver
A few weeks after the season has
started John Gladstone Graney's name

be in the first box score.

none better.
Killen SAYS the game Is no faster

TABLE ANTICS OF
RECRUITS ON TRIPS
ARE BIG FEATURE
Evans Recounts Many Humor-
GUS Adventures of Young
sters in Their First Trials.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, Jan. 25.-Steve
Evans, outfielder 0 fthe ST. Lous Cardi-
mails, entertained a number of fight
and baseball fans with some of his base
ball yarns.
Recalling that he had been requested
10 report at the Racine Hotel, Colum-
bus. Ga. which is the new spring train
ing camp of the St Louis National
club, he observed:
II wonder IL that hostelry has win
dows in it?"
The spring conditioning meet brought
to mind, Evans was stirred to re-
counting of the dinner table antics OF
the young farmers who annually break
into the major leagues.
You ought to see those yellow-haired
rascaIs eat.'' he said. They just grab
the leg of a chicken in both hands, and
bingo. the bone is relieved OF the meat
instantaneously. You'd think a car
penter had shaved the bone with sand
paper And the biscuits!-oh, the bis
cults, They treat them as II they were
gum drops. But they have a new way
of dealing with peas now. Instead OF
balancing 'em on the knife, they mix
them with the potatoes"
Then he produced this one. It's a
story about an Indian pitcher who was
making the innings OF opposing teams
ridiculously short:
aBresnahan got the = tip on q Chero-
kee named Muscow from somewhere
n the Mackinac islands. Another
Bender was he. He reported, stuffed
with fish, TO the club at the Planters
Hotel, st. Louis, a year ago last spring,
and we took him to West Baden to
train. He was placed with a squad of
rookie pitchers TO work out Somehow
he couldn't get his arm working 1t
was as full knots as a pine tree, and he
threw like an auger.
''I was batting fungos to the out
field when Bresnahan, who had taken
a peek at the Indian. approached me.
'''HsVe you seen Muscow?' he asked
me.
II looked at him and smiled. an he
smiled, too.
Guess we'd better get Muscow's

over TO deliver a lecture to a fresh

who put up such strenuous battle for
ten rounds last night before the mann
bcrs of the New Broadway A. c. It
is expected that they will meet again
in about two weeks.
When the ten sessions were concluded
last night Referee Alexander decided a
draw would suit everybody, though the
mad rush Of Egan in the last two
rounds might well have given him the
shade. Nothing but Days agility and
ducking ability saved him from being
put to sleep in that last scramble, for
Egan had him going with him speed.
