must be rated among the successful managers of the day.
 Boston is one of those dynamite teams. It may do poorly one season and then come back and burn up the league the next. McAIeer,s men had more than their. share of misfortune last season. It was the hoodoo team of the, majors. just like the Phil1ieS were in 1911. Last season Boston hardly ever had it's strongest team in every game.
 Joe Wood, the mainstay of the pitching corps, had an off season. His arm wasn't right, but that doesn't t mean that he is through with base ball. It must be recalled that Wood is only a boy. He is in his 18th year and should outgrow any trouble with his arn If Wood comes back as T predict he will, it will mean that Bos- ton will be in the race.
 The dark horse of the 1914 cam paign ought to be the White Sox. Cal lahan's. team finished strong this sea- son. They would have made more trouble than they did, had not Ed Walsh gone wrong. Even with the handicap of losing the services Of their best pitcher, the Sox played fine ball. With Walsh available they ing team and will bear watching.
 T think the teams mentioned out class Detroit, St Louis and New York but still any one of these three clubs may find enough good new material to upset this assertion.
 .'I believe have cited enough points to make it clear that no team in Mo- vember is justified in saying it is go- ing to have a walkover in the pennant race the next season. Don't think for a minute I have lost any conf dence in the champions of the world. It is my ideal team, the combina- ton I have striven for years to form, and 1t is entitled to the greatest re. spect from the fans. I haven't quit I on the kings of the diamond, but I have merely tried to hint at the un- certainty of baseball and show there might be new conditions next season

PRINCETON STARTS
 PRACTICE FOR HOCKEY

Princeton, N. J., Nov. 24-Hockey practice for the season 1913-1914 will begin this week at the St. Nicholas Rink in New York. As Princeton is to have no professional coach this year the money thus saved will be used in transporting the team back and forth from practice. It is Cap tain Kuhn's belief that the men can achieve just as complete development against a strong scrub seven as un- der the direction of professional.
 The varsity teaza will be built from a nucleus of five men from last years seven, which was runner up to liar yard for the intercollegiate champion ship. These men are Captain Kuhn, Hobey Baker and Kilner in the for ward line and Emmons and Winants on the defense. For the forward line there will be available MacCon, $ Co., wan and the Peacock brothers who starred at LawFenceviIle. Last years freshman team will furnish Haskell as candidate for the defense, and Campbell, a varsity second string man last year, also will be available.

though at present there are not enough countries practicing the game to Justify its inclusion as an item Of the Olympic games, the experiment of 1912 ought to be repeated at the Ser lin games of 1916. If for nothing else, it would show whether amateur boxing has progressed or gone back
 At the London games of 1912 nVe nations were represented, but the ouIk of the entries came from Englano
 and it is certain that if boxing was in cluded at Berlin fairly large British contingent would go over Sir Conan Doyle an ardent patron of the ring has written strongly against the in clusion of boxing in the Olympic games, on the ground that the com petitions would breed bad feelings be- tween the nations. It is difficult to understand how boxing can have such an effect and in any case 1t could be no worse than wrestling, which Doyle is anxious to retain an Olympic event. The old brutality charge has long ago been exploded, else why IS the sport permitted to go on without interruption in so many civilized countries The only thing that can really Kill the game effectively Is the boxers tf1ensefYes. They have only to disgust t1le-fans by a. succession of palpably fake shows and the deed is done. The modern tendency towards millionaire purses is not calculated to help the game over much and the champions would do well to renem- Der the story of the goose and the golden eggs Very few of the really big scraps have turned out to be worth the money paid to witness then-a notable case being the Jehries-J ohm son fiasco. Enthusiasts are usually long suffering, especially in sports, but 1t Is not advisable to~try their temper too high. In Europe the biggest purse ever fought for did not exceed $1 900 and that resulted in one of the poor est contests ever seen. The condi- tions on the other side, of the Atlantic are all against huge purses such as are fought for in America and 1t can noto be said that the American article is worth treble the sum paid in Europe. A first class football match can be witnessed for 24 cents and a similar sum procures an admission to the best cricket hockey or lawn tennis match Most entertainments are charged at sirnilar rates. so that it is not surprising to find that boxing ad- missions are absurdly low compared to those in America As a conse- quence purses do not rule so h1gh, but taking the game as whole, the quality of the boxing is quite up to the average American show. Nowhere in Europe is there any signs of boxing failing to draw, in fact, the game may be said to be on an even sounder foot ing than at any previous period Of It's history Both in London and Paris there are more clubs in existence than there were three years ago and where one goes down there are two to take it's place It's legal status has been pretty we'll made clear in England, test cases in the courts establishing that the authorities have no power to interfere with the game. providing that reasonable precautions are taken to prevent fatal accidents and that bouts are conducted under the reoog- nized rules of the game.

SHECKARD,. DIAMOND VETERAN, ONCE A MONARCH
 AMONG THE oUTFTELDERS

In a vote of the fans to determine the greatest outfelder of the last de- cade, many ballots would doubtless be cast for Jimmy Sheckard. In the days when Husk Chance was real peer less leader, Sheckard was a monarch among National League outf1e1ders. Few other "gardeners'' have figured in more brilliant, quick-witted and sensational plays.
 James Tilden Sheckard was born in
 York, Pa, Nov. 23, 1879. just thirty
 four years ago yesterday, and his youth was spent in Pennsylvania. He
 began playing ball with t'kid" teams,
 and at fifteen he earned his first hnan-
 cial return from the diamond pastirne
 with the Lancaster and Marietta semi
 professional clubs. The next year, a lad of sixteen, he became a sure-nuff
 professional with the Portsmouth club
 of the Virginia League.i The season
 of 1897 found him wearing the uni form of Broclton, Mass, and, despite
 his extreme youth, ne was the crack
 outf1elder of the New England League. He played in 107 games with Brock ton, swatting the pill for a batting
 average of .370, the best in his career. Such a feat on the part of youth scarcely out of knee brooches natural Iy attracted the attention of the big league scouts. Jimmy was only sew
 enteen when he made his bow to the a
 Der in full and regular standing of the
 Brooklyn club. He played over a hun dred games for the Dodgers, and his swatting average was near the 300
 mark. Sheckard had the rare experi-
 ence of making good from his first day in the majors, without any pre-
 1iminary warming of benches. Brook Iyn sold him to Baltimore. then in the National League, and he was a
 regular outfielder for the Orioles dur ring the 1899 season, batting .29S. In 1900 the Orioles were consolidated 1 with Brooklyn and Sheckard found
 himself back in the City of Churches. He reached the high mark as major league batter in 1901, when his aver
 age was 1858. His batting eye was a little off the following season, but in 1903 he finished seventh among Ma tional League swatters, batting .332. In 1906 he went to Chicago, and the Cubs signalized his advent in their midst by winning the pennant, as they l did again in 1907, 1908 and 1910. With the breakup of the Chance machine,
 Sheckard went to the Reds. Eighteen years in professional baseball, and six teen. of them in the majors, consti- tutes record surpassed by few. Hon | us Wagner made his National League debut year before Sheckard, and Iajoie two years before.
