with the Giants are loud in their praise
of Wflbert Robinson's value to McGraws s
team. and they make the prediction that
the new manager of the Dodgers will
land his team higher in the race than it
has been in years.

Of being rendered major league man.
agerial job when Ebbetts approached him.
Having been let out by McGraw. Robin
son had about made up his mind to quit
the game. but Ebbetts' proposition was
so 'nattering that he changed his mind and
signed a contract without delay.
Robinson is said to have signed for the
largest salary that q Brooklyn manager
has ever drawn since the days of Ned
Hanlon.
Roy Hartzell of the Yankees is TO be
gwen a regular outfield position on
Chances team next season. Chance, like
all other managers under whom Hartzell
has played. has finally been convinced
that Roy's place is in the outfield and
not IN the infield. where he has been
tried time and time again, but has never
made good.
Hartzell is a much better ball player
when played where he belongs than Is
generally supposed. McAleer wanted
him for his Boston team last season, but
Chance very wisely refused to part with
him.
McGraw may regret turning Robinson
down before the next season is over.
The Giants need to develop several
young pitchers In order to keep the
pitching staff up to the standard. and
Robinson has shown much ability in this
respect. II is no easy matter to find a
veteran catcher fitted for the work of
handling young pitchers. and McGraw
will be shy of just such a man.
1t is likely that the work Of teaching
the young twirlers will be turned over to
Mathewson, who is expected to be well
qualified for this work, though il has
always been the belief that an expe-
rienced catcher is better fitted to in
struct pitchers.

Gov. Tener's acceptance of the National
League presidency eliminates a contest
at the annual election, which was to be
held next month. Thomas J. Lynch will
step down during the coming gathering
of the club owners, while John Heydler
win act as head of the organization until
January, 1915. when Tener will take ac-
tive charge. The formal election of Ten
er, of course. will take place during the
meeting, but there will be no other
candidate. one of the conditions which
Tener stipulated was that his election
must be unanimous.
The National League can thank itself
for having John Heydler in its employ.
AS utility man he has no equal, and but
for his connection with the organization
the magnates might find themselves in
the embarrassing situation of having to
continue Lynch until such time as Tener
is ready to take hold.
The selection of Tener marks the initial
occasion in the history of the old league
when every club owner has agreed on a
certain individual for president. Hereto
fore there has always been a hard fight
at election time. and there have been in
numera BILE deadlocks. 1t was deadlock
by the way, which made it possible for
Lynch to get the place. he being COM
promise candidate.
"Rube" Waddell according to the doc
tors, is a victim OF consumption. The
days of the eccentric left-hander are nam-
bered. and sympathy will pervade the
base ball world His ridiculous adven-
lures never bore a sting and never harmed
soul, while the stories told of his in
cessant pranks added much to the gayety
of the sport. In his day 'Rube" was the
greatest of pitchers. He not only helped
Connie Mack win a pennant. but he still
holds the American League strike-out
record.

TAFT LAUDS GOLF;
SPEAKS OF BENEFITS

NEW HAVEN, November 2O,-
Prof. William Howard Taft Of
Yale In discussing the benefits Of
golf mt n banquet last night said
that golf was one of the greatest
movements that have come to
man. He added:

distant when public golf courses

He must overcome a natural reluctance
TO be classed among interiors and incom-
petents, for he cannot be happy so long
as. smarting under the goad of defeat
he is striving TO reduce his game and his
handicap to order. If he cannot achieve
the peace OF mind which comes with
resignation he had better abandon golf.
for there will then be neither peace nor
happiness in its practice.
He must too. make up his mind that,
from some incomprehensible cause. the
tee shot Is not as easy as ii seems. He
loves the tee shot, and. by every rule OF
logic, that ought to be within his COM
itself in the same guise with unfailing
regularity. 1t has no element OF sur
prise. Any sane man ought to be able
to learn the tee shot and to strike 1T with
similar and toierabiy good, results every
time.
But-either by reason of unnerving
hopes which it excites. or from some
hitherto unexplained mechanical obstacle
The tee shot Is, for the foozler, always
difficult and uncertain. Even tit OF
good driving must not deIude him with
the idea that he will not again drive de-
plorabiy. He must learn to mistrust the
tee shot. to be happy when it goes well
without being too much depressed when
il goes ILL., And this Is a difficult dis
cipline.
Take him all in all. however. the hap
py foozler is well called fortunate. No
man is better able to admire the delicate
running Cup shot with which his superiors
approach a green, or the inevitable stop
which they can put on a ball, cut with a
mashie. to remain where ii pitches near
the hole. He may be the equal of any
man on the course in allegiance 70 the
true spirit of a great game, and his
sportsmanship may make him the COM
panion of round whom even the plus
player does well to welcome. Indeed, the
only thing against the foozler is that he
cannot play golf.

Russell Ford, for several years one
of the most effective pitchers in the
American League, may be found in
Cleveland uniform next season. A deal
is pending which will give Chance
George Kahler and one of the Nap
youngsters in exchange for the famous
spit-ball artist. Ford has not been d
world beater in the last two years, but,
although handicapped by being com
PEELED to pitch for an unusually poor
team, at time has showed flashes OF
the form which caused him to become
known as one of the American Leagues
best pitchers.
President Somers of the Maps is seek
ing two pitchers and an outfielder. Rus
sell Ford is right handler and a
wants. Ford is a right handler and a
splitter. Somers and Birmingham think
he will be a winner if added to the
Maps staff. With a gang of swatsmen
behind him like Birmy's boys it is fig
ured Ford would win as many games
as he did in the days when the Yam
KEGS were a fast team.
Kahler, who is mentioned in connection
with the deal for Ford. had all the ear
marks of making great pitcher when
he first came from the minors. But he
has not improved to any extent. Until
six weeks before the last season closed
Kahler did not have anything which re-
sembled a curve ball After he had
added the twist to his pitching repertoire
Manager Birmingham gave him another
chance to show what he could do against
real batters. George failed to make
favorable impression with the fans.
Kahler is weak with men on the bases.
He seems able to go very well until a
man reaches first. Then when he is
forced to cut out his swing he loses eff
fectiveness.
Buddy Ryan. the outfielder who. with
Jack Lelivelt. was released by Cleveland
to Toledo. is severe in his criticism of
Manager Birmingham. He charges that
Birmy does not know how to handle his
players and that he is constantly in hot
water with them. Ryan nsinuates that
he was waived on by the other American
League clubs not because he was not
capable, but because Birmingham re
quested it, He says that he will report
to Toledo. though lie would prefer to play
on the coast, whence he was secured by
