BRIDWELL THE ROLLING
 STONE 0F BASEBALL

X L BRIDWELL, the sSortstop. who
 figured in the Tinker deal and will be with the Cubs next year is devel- oping a reputation for being one of the rolling stones of the big leagues. Bridwell preceded Terry Turner as an infielder for Columbus. Turner crowded him out, and he was sent to Atlanta. When Turner was sold to Cleveland Bridwell was recalled Gin cinnati bought him in 1905 and after fair trial let him go to the Boston Nat ionals. Boston found use for him in 1906 and the following season. and then included him in the big trade with the Giants, deal that sent First Base man Penney and Catcher Needham also to New York in exchange for Bill Dahlen. Frank Bowerman, Dan Nc Cam and Cecil Ferguson. He remain ca with New York until midseason. 1911. when he was traded back to Bos- ton for Third Baseman Herzog.
 Now he goes to the Cubs Johnny Evers having purchased him to work in the infield in the, event of Red" Corridor failing to make good. It is no certainty that Corridor will deliv- CT He made no big splash as a third
 
 chances are that Frank Navin was mighty glad to get rid of him, inas- much as he had invested something like sS, 900, part of which was probably stage money or Navin'S valuation of players to be turned over to Kansas City.
 BridWell has always ranked as a grand infielder, although never being chased as a strong hitter. His best batting record was in 1909, when he hit the ball for a 295 figure with the Giants. He is thirty-one years old and probably has at least one more good year left in his system

M' GRAW HAD HARD TIME
 WHEN HE STARTED

l ERE'S a story anent the early base
 ball career of John McGraw that the little Napoleon" does not relate in his monologue spiel which he is now delivering to crowded houses on the vaudeville circuit.
 McGraw made his initial appearance in professional baseball under condi- tions that were far from encouraging. He was given the first tryout by the Clean club of the old New York State league and was assigned to the third bag McGraw was then a youngster in his teens. He made his debut April l. 1890, an ominous date for John, as on that suspicious occasion he proved to be the biggest kind of an April fool package.
 MCGraw was so small it was impossi-
 ble to find a suit to come anywhere near his measure 1t seemed to Me Graw, he has told it, as if all the
 world was in attendance on the day
 he appeared at Clean. To his eyes it seemed as if he had never, before seen so many people. This of course, was due to the fact that the little third baseman was nervous and that his mind multiplied the actual number of spectators. The noise made by the crowd also worried Mac It sounded | to him like the prolonged roaring of q mighty sea.
 When the first ball was knocked down to him he says the noise of the crowd ceased as if cv magic, and the ball, which happened 10 ee one of those slow grounders, appeared to McGraw as if it would never reach him. Final | ly, after what seemed to be an age, he | found himself with the ball in his grasp and he turned to heave it over to first base, at which sack there was a player who was the tallest in the | league.
 The distance to first now appeared to | McGraw to be fully a mile away, and | his heart sank within him as he sud denly thought to himself that he could ! never throw the ball that far. Yet he
 nerved himself and not only did he get 1 the ball over, but he fired it several , feet over the first baseman's head 1 Every succeeding time the ball was | knocked down to McGraw during the 1 rest of the game he managed to throw higher and higher over the head of the ! man on first.
 | Alter the game the manager came up | to Mac and, batting him on the head
 told him that he was a nice boy and
 so on, but as a ball player he was nOth- i ing short of a frost. McGraw pulled
 out of Clean that night and went over
 to Wellsville, where he finished the
 season. He did so well that at the end
 of that year he was the recipient ot
 eighteen different offers from managers
 who were willing to pay high for his
 services.

BASEBALL A WORLDS SPORT

WHEN all the world gets to playing
 baseball then truly will there be hope for world peace. And baseball is going to conquer the world-it is only matter of time, and, judging by the indications, the conquest will be praC- tCally ended before the first quarter of the present century shall have end ed. Already baseball has got a foot hold in Asia. The JapS have taken to the game and made it their very own. The Chinese of the coastal cities are turning into baseball fans in a way to convince their American friends that down at bottom they are real sports A people that is capable of re- spending to the uplift of baseball is inherently capable of developing a system of self government. The Chi nese republic is going to last. The ce- lestials have really shaken off the in cubus of that 4,000-year- old civiliza- tion-they have arrived.
 Europe has been little more tardy in responding to the lure of baseball than Asia, but the game has got some thing more than a start in Europe. And now comes the news that the French athletic associations are going to indOrSe baseball as national game The French believe that American su- periority III athletics, as the superior ity has been demonstrated in the Olympic contests, is due to baseball They have found out that the kidlets in this country begin to play baseball at age six and keep up baseball enthu- siasm until after age sixty. It is to our national game that they trace our athletic prowess. and so they are going in for baseball. When France shall have been conquered the rest of Flu rope will be easy. International games between leading French and American teams will soon be on the program Baseball is going to be world sport That is it's manifest destiny.

TINKER WANTS CATCHER kLiNG.

THE wonderful system of play which
 made the Chicago Cubs famous few years back was attributed by many to the quick thinking ability of John Kling, then the teams catcher. He was given credit for establishing a system with Evers and Tinker which helped the team not a little. Tinker seems to recognize this fact for he has informed Garry Hermann that he wants Kling, secured from Boston for the Reds.
 Larry Mclean has been sent to the St. Louis Americans, and this leaves the Reds with but one seasoned catch CT, Tom Clarke. Tinker figures that with Kling on the team he will be bet ter fortified than when Mclean was the teams star catcher. The deal is almost sure to go through, because Stallings who will manage Boston this year, has announced that he will not carry Kling. Not because he does not appreciate the veterans ability, but Kling, having been the manager of the team last season, would not fit well into the combination which Stallings hopes to build up.

RITCHIE AN OVERNIGHT s
 LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION

WILLIE RITCHIE, who took the
 lightweight crown from Ad Vol gast on Thanksgiving day, has not been fighting long enough to get his name in the official record book. yet he is the champion today. His sudden rise may not be an indication that the class of fighters before the public today is not as good as it was a few years ago. and yet this is being charged by the f1stic experts all over the country. But lots of champions have come to the front in year or so.
 In fact, in many instances it is an advantage not to have fought too much before entering into a crucial battle. Success in the ring brings with it more or less dissipation, and Ritchie has been able to avoid this because he is virtually only beginner
