THE sale of Speaker by Mike

integrity of baseball men. Speaker
was bought by Boston from Texas.
He was turned back to the Little
Rock club for $500. with the under
standing that if he made good and
Boston wanted him he could be
had for the same price. Boston did
not take up the option at the mo-

was offered $500 for Speaker and

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

The senator has no patience with
complaints about contracts play

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 I 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 voting in the cases
of such men as Ed Walsh of the
White Sex, Christy Mathewson of
the Giants and Hans Wagner of the
Pirates, and the insistence of Off
Gals that the game must be clean.

after letting Delehanty go last
year.
StovalI Has Proved Worth.
George StovaH has proved his
worth already and has built up
highly promising bunch of young
sters in the brief time he has been
at st. Louis. Stovall also achieved
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 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.
