The sale of Speaker by Mike

not take up the option at the mo-

league; that the year previous he
developed a raw youngster, Jimmy
Doyle, into a star third baseman,
only to be cut short by death, and
that just last year he developed two
star young pitchers in Jimmy Law
ender and Larry Cheney. Enough
for Chances constructive ability.
No matter who may dispute it,
there is no cinch in proving the
assertion that Hughey Jennings is
not a topnotch leader Jennings
was able to drive the Detroit III
gers into three successive Ameri-
can league pehnants, filling the en-
tire interval between the triumph
of Fielder Jones' old Chicago
White Sox and the first success of
the Athletics. True enough, Jen-
nings had his troubles last year,
with the strike of his players
most difficult problem. But it will
be remembered how he whipped
them into line finally and now has
rid his team of the last trouble
maker in passing along Davy Jones,
after letting Delehanty go last
year.
Stovall Has Proved Worth.
George Stovall has proved his
worth already and has built up a
highly promising bunch of young
sters in the brief time he has been
Of
the unusual in pulling the Browns
out Of the cellar last year, and pre-
vious to that, at Cleveland, he sent
the Maps from nothing up to the
first division in half Of the season
of 1911, after succeeding Deacon
Jim Mcguire. And the nature of
that feat is reflected by the dis
NAL failure of Harry Davis, who
followed him. Joe Birmingham,
who took the reins after Davis
professional demise as a manager,
proved himself by getting the team
up higher than the much touted
Athletic veteran was able to, and
he seems to be of the right sort
of stuff.
1t seems odd how any one can
fail to give credit to Jake Stahl
and Clark Griffith for landing their
teams first and second, respective
ly, last year. However, they do
not need verbal credit to any great
amount when they can stand on
such records.
Then Jimmy Callahan does not
need to argue much to hold his sta
ton with the White SoX. He has
kept his men very much in the hunt
now for two years, though they
failed to land on the pinnacle either
time.

NASHVILLE BOY WINS
HONORS AS WRESTLER

NASHVILLE, TENN, Feb. S.-Abe
Lightman, Of Nashville, a former stu
dent Of Vanderbilt university, has just
won for himself and his city high ath-
letic honors at Cornell by capturing the
1853 pound wrestling championship. BY
virtue of his college title, Lightman
will represent Cornell in the coming in
tercollegiate wrestling meet, which will
be held within the next few weeks.
This is not only a triumph for Nash
vile athletically, but 1t is a glowing
feather in the cap of vegetarians. Light
man was trained on vegetable diet, de-
spite the vigorous protests of those
who knew he would not stand the pace
with that diet" Yet he did stand the
test, and remarkably well at that.
Lightman was known in this city as
a gymnast and all-round athlete of
sterling ability. He was member OF
the Vanderbilt reserve football team
for several seasons, played baseball and
basket ball. and was member OF the
Commodore gymnasium team. Under
the tutOrship of Lud Gordon at the
Nashville Y. NJ. c. A., Lightman be-
came one of the star members of that

1T has nothing to do with politics
or religion. II has been getting
along very nicely without legal aid
or interference"
The senator has no patience with
complaints about contracts play
ers must sign, Objection had been
found in the past, he said, with
the reserve clause of contracts, but
this has been so changed that there
is now no just cause for complaint.
Il have been president of the
Southern league for eleven years,
and in my time l have seen base
ball grow better and cleaner This
Is due to three causes-college
players, the example of clean lives
held up to the young in the cases
of such men as Ed Walsh of the
White SoX, Christy Mathewson of
the Giants and Hans Wagner of the
Pirates, and the insistence of Off
Gals that the game must be clean.
College Man Helps Baseball.
Let me say that the college
player has done much for baseball.
Take college man and an unedu-
Gated fellow of the same physical
capacity and the college man will
in most cases make a better play
er. He has been trained to think;
the other fellow has not Baseball
is a thinking game. Success In
baseball depends largely on the
correlation of brain and muscle. The
man whose thought is quickest
transferred to muscle and then to
action is the best baseball player.
The man of mental training will
acquire this process more thorough
ly than the mentally unframed.
"Ty Cobb, while not college
man, illustrates this truth better
than any other player. Many men
can run as fast as he can. Few

There was not time enough to go
into the thing deeply. but we in
formed Matty that we could not
agree with him as to the compar-
alive abilities of the chieftains in
the two circuits, and told him that
his honest loyalty to his own league

at the posts they held down when
the 1912 season closed, and Chance,
who goes 10 New York, was the
leader Of the Cubs. Connie Mack,
by the way, is the only American
manager that Matty can "see" as
high-caliber leader, the success
Of Jake Stahl being blamed en-

 Mrs. Eula Horn. a sister of Mrs. Stone, lied protest, claiming that i've years before his death Dr Stone rad made will in which the most of his property was bequeathed to her. This will according to her allegations was made al the instance Of Mrs. Stone. from whom Dr. Stone had SC cured the greater portion of his prop erty.
 The claim Of Mrs. Horn was disa). lowed in the probate court. where El- lis TurleY was appointed as executor Of the estate. Both claimants then appealed and in circuit court a de murrer was filed 10 the Horn claim, which was sustained. The supreme court now requires the lower court to give hearing to the Horn claim and permit the petitioner to produce evi. dence if she can, which will tend tc prove the first will should be sustained
