THROWS LIGHT ON
TINKER TROUBLE
|Sheckard Says He Found the
Reds in a Rut-Ran
Against Opposition

New York, Dec. 13.-Jimnly Sheck-
ard, who was a prominent cog in the
Cub machine which o remnants
under Frank Chance. and a Red last
year, threw some light on Tinker's
troubles in Cincinnati.
Sheckard. who came on from his
home In Columbia, Penn. to see
about getting his release from the
Reds. so that he can accept a Job az
manager Of the Toledo club, said:
T1nke was used to playing on a
winning club and on a club where
all the players tried hard to wiz. He
found the Cincinnati team in q rut
where they had been allowed TO stag.
nate for years. He at once made uu
his mind to institute the same meth
DDS he was used to in Chicago, which
he knew was the only way to devotion
a winner. He ran up against opposi-
ton from several players in the club
who seemed to prefer going along at
their own gait instead Of learning the
ways Of a winning team
when Joe tried to force these men
they turned on him and threw him
down. l know what am talking
about, for I have heard what they
and on the road. Joe made some
mistakes, as all new managers do. but
his plans were all right and he did
not often misjudge a ball player"
Sheckard told this story to President
Hermann. naming the players whom
he accuses Of Indifference and in
subordination. The Red chief Was
surprised at one Of the names men
Toned but not SO much at the others.
Sheckard's revelations may mean
more trades than were intended. as
Mr.. Hermann is determined 10 get
rid Of the class of players whu will
not support their manager when he
IL doing his best 10 win games.

W0LGAST'S LATEST
NOW CLAIMS TITLE
Dutchman Says Richie is no
Longer Champion Because
of Murphy Affair.
(Bv Billy Birch,

Chicago. ILL. Dec. 13.-Ad Wolgast,
the ~invincible, has pulled q new one.
He is Claiming the lightweight title
by default in view of Willie Ritchie's
failure to make weight for Tommy
Murphy in Frisco, which caused the
postponement Of the scheduled TWEEN
ty-round battle. AID asserts that
Ritchie won the title on a fiuke and
while he isn't trying to take away any
Of Ritchie's laurels he says he is the
logical 13a-pounder title holder.
The Cadillac dutchlnan came to the
front with this statement and he says
he wrote 1t himself on his own type
writer. 81 am busting off my old let
ter heads and I am going to have a
new batch printed which will state
that l am the 133-pound title holder.
After ] beat a few Of these near box
ers who are crying for a chance at the
title 1 am going to give Richie an
other mill. He Is one guy / am going

Is Better Than Ever?
Besides claiming the title. calling
Ritchie a hambone champion who
ought to DC in the welter- weight class
along with Mcfarland. Ad states that
he is better now than V c before. He
says he has been taking care of him.
self for the first time in his life and
all traces Of the operation he UNDER
went for appendicitis has disappeared.
He has been doing road work for the
first time since he won the title in
preparation for the White mill at
Milwaukee December 10, so Wolgast
u be serious in his intentions.
Packey Mcfarland took occasion to
deny two reports which have been cir
culated around town since his Britton
fiasco. one of them being to the effect
that he intended retiring and the 9TH
err that Emil Thirty was through as his
manager. Packey avs Emil will be
his business agent as long as he Is in
the fighting game which he says will
be some time to come.
May Fight Mike Gibbons.
The South slider instructed Thirty to
get in touch with Billy Gibson of New
York in view OF clinching a match
with Mike Gibbons in Gotham and Il
may be that they will come to terms
now that Mcfarland is certain that
he is through as a lightweight. He
will allow Gibbons to come in at 144
on the afternoon of the go and wants
the affair to take place early next
month.
John Wagner was so enthused e
the Bresnahan-McCue battle before
his club Wednesday night that he has
signed them for another go to take
place on January 1. 1t was the first
show in which Wagner made money

A FOR CADETS

Minneapolis. Dec. 13.-St. Thomas
baseball enthusiasts are excited as a
result of having received a letter from
Notre Dame asking for a game with
the Saints. According to the letter
the South Bend people have held OPP
en- Memorial day, the most important
date on their schedule. in the hope
Gray to pay them a visit. The ac-
ccptance Of this game would mean
that the Cadets will have another
long trip. as they have already made
preparations for an extended trip in
to the Dakotas.
However, the authorities are con-
templating making the southern trip.
which will take in not only Notre
Dame, but also Campion college at
Prairie de CHEN, Wisconsin at Madi-
son. Marquette at Milwaukee. DePaul
at Chicago and st. Viateurs at Kanka-
kee, Ill. These games are something
out OF the ordinary class for the
Saints and will open a new field for
future prowess. In order to bag these
trophies. the Midway warriors will
have to develop something in the
class Of a pretty speedy nine, and al
though the first call for candidates
q not been issued, it is expected
that a wealth of material is on hand
from which to choose. Second only to
Holy Cross. Notre Dame has furnish
ed more players to the big leagues
than n other school and this rec
ord alone Is causing a great deal of
worry to the Cadets.
It is hoped that the acceptance of
this fife will pave the way for ar
ranging a football game with Notre
Dame next season, as the unexpected
victory over Marquette caused a
great deal of surprise in football cir
cles. So far the prospect Of a clash
between these schools looks promis-
ing. n if plans mature st. Thomas
VIII possess a weighty schedule for
the football season of 1914.

MAN FOUND UNCONSCIOUS
DIES AT HOSPITAL

Without regaining consciousness
and suffering from an illness, which
baff1d his attending physicians Oliver
z. Maize, of Huntington, w. Va, a
journyman brick mason, died at the
Massie Memorial Hospital Friday af-
ternOon at $3.50 o'clock.
Maize was found last Wednesday
morning in the yard of the Paris City
School and was removed to the Paris
jail by Patrolman Charles Thomas.
A physician was summoned and it
was found that his condition was such
that the patient should be removed to
the Massie Hospital for treatment. A
slight bruise on the side of his face
was the only mark about the body,
and in his unconscious condition he
was unable to give any account of
himself
The only meas of Identification
was a card found in the pocket,
which had been issued by the Brick
layers and Masons Union of Hunt
ington, w. Va, and which bore his
name, together with that of L. ID.
Sallee, Secretary of the union. This
was turned over to Mr.. w. o. Hinton,
who at once communicated with the
officers of the union at Huntington.
The officers of the union applied to
Mr.. j. T. Hinton, Jr, son of Mayor
Hinton, who resides in Huntington,
and he at once telephOned his father
that the organization to which Maize
was a member would assume the eX-
pense incurred in giving him the prop
er attention.
Upon his death a telegram was
sent to his wife. The body was re-
moved to the undertaking establish
ment of Mr.. j. T. Hinton, where it
was prepared for burial and Saturday
morning a message was received by
Mr.. Hinton with the instructions to
hold the body until further notice.
Mr.. William Maize, a brother of
the unfortunate man arrived in this
city Sunday to take charge of the
remains. 1t has developed since the
man was found that he had applied to
Mr.. George Deiterman for employ
ment, and was assigned to a new con-
tract. He did not report for work
Wednesday but nothing was thought
of this until Saturday night when
the other men in the employ of Mr..
Deiterman were being paid and Maize
had not put in his appearance.
Maize was a native of Bath county
and was born near Salt Lick. He was
aged about forty-fve years. His
brother took charge of the body which
was shipped to Salt Lick, Bath coun-
ty, for burial
