, outfield position for the freshman base
ball team. Mahan threw his arm on
: in the Exeter Andover game last Jun
and will probably never be able agail
to pitch. II is only with the creates
difficulty that he can throw the bal
from the outfleld TO the infeld today
He will be a loss ms a pitcher in futur'
years for harvard varsity, which hat
expected great results from his pres

Ty Cobb still insists that he is a
real holdout. He has stated that he will
not play again with the Tigers unless
he receives $4,000 for his services per
year. Cobb realizes his worth to the
Tiger management and asserts boldly
that he is worth every shilling of his de-
mands. He claims that the stories cir
culsted abroad of his holdout were not
| fabrications OF the Navin's press agents
as many are inclined to believe. BY
playing independent ball in the South,

easily CLEAN $4,000 per year. He is
at present cleaning up between $500
and $1,000 week by playing independ.
ent ball.

the king of eatchers. The salary of his
contract has not been stated, but it is
generally believed TO be around $500.

mendable mention from many major
league scouts and managers. During the
past winter Smith has been playing in
dependent ball in the wintering section
of the southwestern part of the United
States.
The baseball press Of Cleveland is OPP
timistie that the Maps will finish the
season in fourth position. The lineup
of the club will be practically the same
as it was during the closing period of

base. Chapman, recruit, is antcipat-
ed to prove a sensation on the mound.
The outfield will be made up of Leibold
or Bennington, centerfield; the other po-
sitions in the outer gardens will be

like a big Lacquer every day. Burns is
making a wonderful showing in the
Giants outfield.

Miller Higgins, the veteran manager
( the Cardinals, has been forced to ad-
nit that Mike Mowrey is the best can
idate for third base in his squad and
ril be able for at least another year
0 occupy the third sack. Mowrey is
ne of the veterans of major league
all and is carrying his yeais unusually
