ANDERSON WILL COACH
TRACK MEN AT VANDY

NASHVILLE. TENN, Jan. 20-BHl An
derson has been chosen to coach the Com
modores' track work this spring.
With Anderson behind the Vanderbilt
team this year, they will have a good
chance to win the Southern Iutercolle-
giate Athletic association meet which will
be held at Clemson, The material at
Vanderbilt is not wonderful However, in
past years Anderson has been able to
make a winning team out OF what an
other man would have made nothing
Vanderbilt will not only have represen-
tatves in the Southern intercollegiate
Athletic ASSOCIATION meet. but it is more
Charlottesyille to engage in dual meet
with the University of Virginia
There will be a number of the 1912
track men back this year Besides these
old men, Wilson Collins. the football
and baseball player, will go out for track
work. Collins was reckoned the fastest
man in the South last year on the foot
hall field, lie is also fast on the track.
although he has never tried To make the
team at Vanderbilt because he has de
voted his entire energies to baseball
However Collins has decided to try for
The track team this year. which means
that Anderson will have good spriuter
and possibly he may develop him into a
broad jumper.
Buddy Morgan, the Commodore football
center, has been training ever since foot
ball faded He will go on the track and
IN lbl lNt weight events. IN TINS he VIII
be assisted by Oscar Noel. formerly a star
with the hammer. oscar has promised
Anderson to assist him in developing the
men for the hammer throw
The loss of Freeland and Ray Murri-
son will be felt heavily by the Cummo-
dore track team. Morrison could always
be counted on 70 win points i'm any meet
He was sure of the broad jump and took
part successfully In several other events

~ ASEBALL is full of cases OF
men who have run a snug
fortune right down into the
bankruptcy courts, But playing
this thought with reverse Eng
lish. it is easy enough to cite cases
of men who have run lot of bad
debts UP into a fortune.
Charley Murphy holds the worlds
records. He took a lot of press
agenting ability and a hypnotized
line Of credit and bought the Cubs
with it. The late John 7. Brush
waved the magic wand over a
clothing store and transformed II
into the Giants and fortune, re-
tanning the clothing store-which is
some feat. Connie Mack played
mediocre ability as a catcher up
into half interest in the Athletics.
Charley Bbbets blew up good line
of talk until IL became the Brook
lyn ball team and a real park. Jim
McAleer took slightly damaged
reputation as a manager and what
money he had saved and bought
into the Boston Americans the very
year they won a worlds champion
ship (uuite Unexpectedly, it might
be added, making his money back
and some more besides the first
year. The Detroit club invested
plug Of chewing tobacco and some
loose change in young Augusta

Unnecessary The Boston Ameri-
cans farrned a Stag sided outf1elder
in Little Rock, forgot to recall him;
got him back (thanRe TO the hyper
honesty of Mike FINN. and he won
fame as the second best outfield-
er in the American league Girls
Speaker). Mike Finn grabbed a
pitcher that had been kicking
around the South for years and,
after letting him give the Mobile
team a second place position, sold
him for a nice price (Al Demaree).
The Cubs took over catcher that
had been up there" a couple Of
less by no less an authority than
Hugh Jennings, and he became the
best catcher in the world dim
Archer).
You could 90 on with this stun
thousand years. But when you
got through you would have to
award the straight trading cham
pionship to Charley Frank, on this
series OF deals:
Bought Catcher LATTE from
Memphis for $500.
Traded Lafitte to Chattanooga for
Doc Johnston and $1,000.
Traded Johnston to Cleveland for
Catcher Angermeier, Third Base
man Mills, Shortstop Butler and
Pitcher CulIop.
Traded culIop to Cleveland for
5000 in cash, Catcher Yantz, Sec
end 5asemsn Atz, Pitcher Bremen.
Third 5aseman kibble and Out
fielder Hendrix.
Signed Lafitte for nothing when
he became free agent and then
sold him for $500, his original cost.

CHANCE IS REAL
MANAGER, SAYS
ZIMMERMAN
By Harry CHASER.

TEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Having
~ had the opinions of mag
mates and managers on the
acquisition of Frank Chance, it may
not be amiss to hear what one of
the Cub players thinks of the deal,
especially when that player is a
Gothamite and premier batsman of
the league as well. Heine Zim-
norman, who, if it were left solely
to his choice, would pastime with
the Giants instead Of the Cubs, be-
cause he is a native of the Bronx,
is still in our midst, where he So
journs during the winter, and thinks
Chance will be the same rip-snort-
ing hero in a Yankee uniform that
he was when he sported Chicago
toys
Says the champion slugger, whose
allegiance is with the Cubs, while
at heart a New Yorker: Chance
Is man who would be a success
anywhere. That's why l think he
will have no trouble in reorganiz.
ing the Yankees and putting, them
back In the race.
"His Word Is Law"
Chance may be considered q
hard taskmaster by some, but he
never makes any unreasonable de-
mands from his players. He knows
the game thoroughly, and it does
not require him long to convince
those in his charge of this fact. He
Is boss on the field, and his word
is law. AS long as player fol-
lows his directions he will find the
Peerless Leader an excellent chief,
one who commands respect without
demanding it,
II do not think that Chance will
find 1t difficult to pull the Yankees
up with the leaders. They seem to
possess enough f1rst-class stars
around which to build a good team
and Chance looks to be the right
man to handle the job.
Cubs Respected Chance.
He always had the good will and
respect of the Cubs. and l think,
without exception, every man on
the team was sorry TO see him go.
If he is as well as the reports give
him credit for being, l believe he
could get back in the game and
make some of the youngsters perk
up in playing first base.
"Of this, however, l am not in a
position to speak. for | have not
seen him since last fall before he
underwent the operation that is
said to have improved his health
wonderfully. After ALL it will re-
main for him to get into the thick
of battle to prove that he is stlll
there as a player, l guess, for that
is the only sure test for any ath-
lete.
Zim Says Cubs Are On,
LAS a native New Yorker, | am
glad to see him come here. while
naturally | regret to see him leave
Chicago. That is the town l am
roofing for six months in the year
Do | think the Cubs will be up in
the race next season? Well YOU
can take the fish line off the old
roll, so far as tbs. goes, and bet
your heads off, certainly do think
so.
johnny Eyers should make a.
good a leader as he was a PLAYER.
and there are still few stars lett
on the team, if Chance and Tinker
are gone
