York last year. His splendid record of
| nineteen straight victories gave the
Giants the margin which made 1t posi-
bic for them to win the flag. II he Is
absent this year the team will hardly re-
peat. and. in fact. may have a. hard time
finishing in the first division. But. regard
less of what the result of Maruuard' 8
stand may be, McGraw is not apt to make
any concession to the big pitcher. nor is
he to he blamed for standing pat, mas
| much as Marduard is under contract. But
a team which loses the services OF so
valuable d pitcher as NIarquard proved to
be last season is very apt to have a hard
row to hoe in d pennant race.
Just how Ban Johnson will enforce the
new rule which is to prevent ball play
ers from acting as newspaper CORE
spOndents and critics, without making a
change in the present American League
contracts. remains to be seen.
Under present conditions the ball club
has no control over it's players after the
season closes. further than to bar them
from engaging in base ball other
games which might be figured as detri-
mental to the players condition. The
clubs cannot prevent the players from
following some other line Of business un-
der the contract they are now working
under. The fact of the matter is that
! the scheme Of having players sell the use
of their names for base ball articles is
sure to he shOrtlived
The public has been fooled for a couple
of years. but now that it is generally
known that the players do not write
what appears under their names there is
sure to he a falling of in the practice
Only Il very small percentage of the
major league ball players are capable Of
putting their opinion in black and white
in an intelligent manner. Those that
have this ability can be counted on the
fingers of one hand.
Few ball players who were stars as
long as they were in the ranks have
played up to their standard after being
put In charge of team. Larry Lajoie
fell down in his work while he was the
Maps manager. Hal Chase did not make
good while he was in charge in New York
and there are innumerable other similar
instances.
This year there will be three managers
who up TO this year were players in the
ranks, and players of much ability at
that Evers. Tinker and Higgins are to
make their debuts as managers in the
National League. All have been top
notch players and it remains to be seen
If they will be able to keep up the pace
now that they are to lead their teams.
It takes a rather unusually made I'D
player who can carry the responsibility
of the management and at the same time
do himself justice in his position. Every
one Of the three men mentioned may be
able to do this. but it will be an excep-
ton to the rule.

Manager Tom Harrington of the base
ball team at Georgetown. and Capt. Jim
Fury announced yesterday that they had
telegraphed Coach Hanley to report here

not know what action the faculty would
take In regard to the matter, but lie
hoped that they would allow Davis to

one of the cleverest inficlders on the

PHILADELPHIA, February 24.-The
Chicago Cubs were the first major league
team to get on the field this year. and
the players and the war correspondents
are wishing that less haste had been
shown. Last December President Murphy
Of the Cubs went to Tampa, Fla. and
made arrangements for taking his team
there. One of the inducements was a
free hotel bill for all of the players, the
same to be paid by the Business Mems
Association Of Tampa.
In his eagerness to fix up this matter
Mr.. Murphy overlooked some other i'm
portant items. In consequence, there has
been considerable growing among the
Cubs, judged by the reports in the Chi
cago newspapers. The Cubs president
notified the hotel management to put two
men in a room, and that the war corre-
spondents would make their own arrange
mentS.
was found that only one bed. instead OF
two, was in each room.
This caused roar from the players. A
compromise was finally effected by giving
each player a room to himself, although
to do SO many tourists who wante accom-
modations had to be turned down.
The scribes were left out in the cold
entirely. They had looked for Murphy to
reserve rooms for them, and Chubby
Charlie" had failed to do so.
Charlie Dryden, 81 Sanborn, George
Rice and Oscar Reichow were hard put
to it to find place to lay their weary
heads. They had travelled together all
the way from Chicago and the sugges-
ton that they remain up all night and
listen to Dryden's fish stories and about
his motor boat was voted down.
Murphy's mistake in not notifying the
hotel MANAGEMENT to put two beds in
each room will cost the hotel something
like $1,000.
In addition the grounds and the club
house were not ready when the players
arrived. In the first practice. a hard-hit
ball off Phelans bat hit Bill Powell on
the knee and the trainer had to get busy.

BY J. ED GRILLO.

1t seems assured that Frank Chance
will start the season at first base for
New York. Advices from Bermuda, where
the New York squad is training. arc to
the effect that Chance has not eXpe-
rienced the slightest difficulty with his
underpinning during the weeks trainins
he has indulged in. 1t has been nearly
two years since Chance has played in a
ball game. and the condition of his legs
when he quit was such that he was
doubtful if he would ever be able to play
again.
Since arriving at Bermuda he has done
considerable work, and he finds that his
legs are as strong as ever, so that he
has notified the club that he expects to
pay first base the coming season
Whether he will be able to so through
the entire campaign remains to be seem
of course. Chance is thirty-four years
old and has not yet reached that stage
where his age should interfere with his
playing. If his legs are sound he is sure
to prove himself one of the best first
basemen In this league.
Rube Marquard insists that he has re-
tired from base ball. Though he is un-
der contract to the New York club for
this year he says that he will not re-
port. Rube figures himself worth more
money than he has signed for and ne is
confident that the Giants Will cut no fig
ure in the pennant race unless he is on
the ground to help them out.
In Seattle the other day. Marquard
Is quoted as saying:
"McGraw has a raise in salary. He will
get $4,000 a year, eh? Well. if 1t hardin
been for me the Giants would have been
beaten four straight in the world series
Didn't l win nineteen straight last year:
The Giants would have lost the pennant
only for me. McGraw knows he can
win without me-"
Marquard Is not displaying any graft
tude by his stand. Had it not been fof
the patience McGraw exercised in his
case the Rube would probably still be in
the minors. McIraw carried him for
three years when he was worthless and
finally developed him into a real pitcher
Furthermore, Marquard should live up tC
his contract. He signed a three-yeal
agreement which expires at the end OF
the coming season and. regardless OF what
this agreement may call for. he should
carry out his end without murmur.
To have Marquard out of the folc
would prove a great handicap to Nc
Graw's chances. There is no doubt that
the eccentric left-hander did more thar
his share to bring the pennant to New
