HEINIE, WAGNER Is
IN GOOD SHAPE
Instead Being in Poor Condition. the Captain and Crack
shortstop Of the Worlds Champions Is Sailing
Along Under Cover Waiting for Season.

CLEVELAND. Ohio. April 6.-"This
talk about Heinie Wagner being in bad
shape physically is all rot" remarked
Umpire Billy Evans. who recently re-
turned from a stay at Hot Springs. Il
was much surprised at reading such re-
ports in the Eastern papers. Wagner g
failure to play in the Pittsburgh series
was no doubt the cause for such a wild
rumor. His failure to play. however,
was simply due to his desire to nurse
his arm along slowly.
Each year his arm gives him trou-
bic. OF late years he has found 1t best
to round his throwing whip into form
slowly. Wagner has practiced regularly
at short, and played in all the games
between the Regulars and tine Yani-
gans, but refrained from playing in any
of the Pittsburgh contests
In this connection Wagner's reply
to a Boston fan touring with the team
is Of interest. The fan. curious because
Wagner failed to play in the Pittsburgh
games, put the question to him
squarely.
Il haven't played in the games with

ner When the series was arranged 1t

and strive their hardest for victory.
''If Pittsburgh player hit to ME in
pinch, and the game hinged on my
getting him at first, 1 would cut that
ball loose regardless OF my arm. / never
would think of my whip at the mo-
ment: my only thought would be to
successfully complete the play II such
a play came up in a game between our
own players. / would never take such
a chance.

nursed along carefully. Such an effort

NEW ORLEANS La, April 6.-Man-

ing rules as followed by many official

and batters.
He makes a point of the way in which
some score the play where an infielder
fails to pick up a grounder
Il do not believe it is right to charge
an error against fielder where he tries
for the ball with one hand, particularly
in those cases where it Is impossible to
get two hands on the ball." said Birmy.
THE fielder should not be charged
with an error on these plays Instead
il should go for a hit. II is a very fine
play. usually, when an infielder scoops
up the ball with one hand and gets his
man. Why penaliZe him when he fails

Take on National League Cham
pions in Two Games, Playing
Tomorrow and tuesday.
By SENATOR"

The Climbers of 1913 get their first
real test tomorrow and Tuesday against
the New York Giants, champions of the
National League. Walter johnson will
pitch tomorrow and Sir Robert Groom,
Joe Engel and Tomasso Hughes will
probably figure with him in these two
contests. Manager Griffith will spare
no pains to defeat the yet undefeated
Giants.
McGraws outfit has swept srandly
through Dixieland, winning all of the
seventeen games played, usually by
large scores. That the Giants are a
strong aggregation is beyond doubt and
they will fight hard to tame the Griff-
men.
Just who will twirl for the Giants is
not known, though Jeff Tesreau,
Christy Mathcwson. Rube Marquard.
and Al Memaree are expected to ap-
pear. No mound battle between John
son and Mathewson is scheduled for
this spring. but II would not be sur
prising to find them facing each other.
The Climbers thus far this spring
have not worked their heads off. They
started in good shape against the Phil
lies, winning both games here easily.
Then came some weak opponents and
the work of the home team fell off sur
prisingly fast. Brooklyn and Boston
should never have won a game at the
local park.
Season Opens Thursday.
The American League season opens
Thursday and but three days inter
vene for the finishing touches to be
applied to the Climbers Walter
Johnson, Bob Groom. Tom Hughes.
and Joe Engel are now ready for the
sound Of the big gong. Cashion. until
yesterday, was also considered in the
running. However. the quartet ready
should be able to swing the team
along until Cashion, Boehling, Dent,
Drohan, and Gallia are in condition
for their best work.
Manager Griffith's noble Young ath-
letes are hitting like fiends. They
show plenty of speed in the field and
on the bases and seem about ready
for the big battles ahead. OF course.
John Henry and "Rippy" Williams
are not yet in the best of shape, but
Williams can go behind the bat and
his work with the fail is expected TO
make up for some of his pegging
weakness
The outlook is for some hard bat
