Goodly Number on Baron Roster
SENATORS BIG WINNING STREAK
BROKEN BY TOUGH LUCK"--MILAN

Nashville, Tenn. January 4.-"rhe
phenomenal winning streak of the Wash
ington American league club last sea-
son was broken by a combination OF
tough luck and the rankest sort of a
decision by Umpire Eagan,' said Clyde
Milan, the fleet footed outfielder OF
the Senators as he passed through Nash
Vile Wednesday on the way to his home
at Lincoln, Tenn, just after he had
placed his younger brother Kent, in the
Battle Ground academy near Franklin.
1T happened this way" said Clyde: 1T
was Walter Johnsons turn TO pitch but
he was ill and Tom Hughes had 10 so
in. Now Tom pitched a grand game
going like a house ahre up until the
ninth inning only allowing two or three
hits He had Frank Baker up With two
strikes called on him, no one on base
apd two down, when Jack Henry missed
an easy pop fly off Bakers bat. It was
fierce luck. But even at that We still
might have won. even after Frank had
laid for the ball away for a home run
had not Eagan called Jack Barry safe
at the plate when he was out by 10
feet
Sure we kicked strong, but what good
did that do? And to show how conn
pletely up in the air Eagan was he put
Henry and several others out of the
game, though the game mechanically
was ended when Barry was allowed TO
score.
'The way we were going I firmly be-
lieve we might have copped the pen
nant but for this hard break of the
game, for you know it took all the heart
out of us.
Milan is firmly convinced that wash
ington will be much stronger in 1918 than
last season and looks for the Senator'S
and Athletics to fight it out for the rag
in Ban Johnsons circuit. While he be-
lieves that Johnson is the grandest
pitcher who ever wore a glove still lie
has great respect for Coombs and Plank,
stating that the latter is easily the best
southpaw in the American league.
AS for Jake Stahl's Red Sox. Clyde
looks for them to trail the Macllmen
and Clark Griffth's bunch, since he is
confident they will not be able to stand
the gruelling pace that the Senators
and Athletics will set from the first
crack of the gun.
Milan seems to be little affected over
his remarkable performance last season
when he shattered the league record by
swiping SO sacks topping Ty Cobb hy -
and Eddie Collins by 20. beside sting
ing the ball for an average of .306, and
crossing the plate 105 times in safety.
He spends the winter months at his
home in Perry county but will leave
for Washington the latter part of Fab-
ruary, in order to be present at the in
auguraton of President elect Wilson.

SEVERAL BIG LEAGUE CLUBS
WILL VISIT BIRMINGHAM

portunity to see some of the leading
major league teams in action during the
spring practice games. Manager Moles-
worth has arranged to have the
Giants" the Reds and the ''Naps'
take falls out of his Baron outfit during
the preliminary contests. In addition to
this Connie Mack Will bring his bunch

These contests furnish good repertoire
OF openers, but it is probable that ether
dates will be given to the big leaguers
before spring arrives. Miller Higgins
wants a date for his Cardinals, and the
BROOKLYN Trolly Dodgers are also anxious
to visit Birmingham. Moley thinks that
these games are the finest possible
means for developing his men, and is
willing to take on all of the majors
that he can find dates for.

Louisville After Schwartz

Reports from Nashville say that the
Louisville club in the American assocla-
ton is after the services of Manager Bill
Schwartz. 1t is also stated that both
Toledo and Buffalo are watching the
work of the Nashville manager, and that
either club may make bid for his SER
vices next season. While Schwartz was
not eminently successful last season. his
managerial abilities can scarcely be ques-
toned. 1t would not be surprising to see
hnn so into faster company next season.

FEW RECRUITS NEEDED IN
THE AMERICAN LEAGUE FOR
SEVERAL YEARS TO COME

ing been one of the 1900 charter me,I.-
bers who later served time in the minors.
Oldring, Hartzell, Birmingham, La
porte, Thomas, Carrigan Coombs, Will
lett and Moriarty broke into the league
in 1906, one year ahead of Eddie Collins,
Johnson. Harry Lord, stephens and
IIene Wagner. The season of 1908 un-
covered Bush, Barry, Ball, Milan, Cree,
Daniels. Warhop. Speaker, Summers,
Lake and Sweeney. Practically all the
other players are of later vintage.
With q exceptions, all of the Ameri-
can leaguers have entered the circuit
since 1905 which makes the Ban Johnson
organization extremely youthful. The
cause may be explained briefly. When
the American league expanded and de-
cided to become a real big league instead
of a feeder to the National, it raided the
older organization, grabbing a number
of star players. Only men of experience
were taken. Most of the new clubs filed
their ranks with stars, men who had been
famous for several years.
Those men could not be expected to go
on forever. They began to show signs of
age and one by one, they gradually
slipped into the minors. became man
ayers or quit the pastime altogether. The
National league, having been deprived
of many of its best men, was forced 10
years ago to recruit from the minors. As
a result they built better for the future
than did the American. Thus it happened
that the Cubs twice outclassed the Tigers
in the battles for the worlds champion
ship
Veterans Are Fast Slipping
1t was about 1908 that the American
league teams found their veteran play
ers slipping. The eastern clubs made the
discovery first. 1t was forced upon them
when Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago and st.
Louis finished one. two, three four at the
end of the 1908 campaign They imme-
diately began TO recruit more strenuously
than before. The western clubs, flushed
by their success. stood pat and suffered
as a result. Detroit being the only one
TO come back strong. But al 1.-THE western
clubs proited by the experience. They
also began to try to strengthen the points
weakened by the aging of their former
stars. The minor leagues were raided
with dragnets and in the last four years
hundreds of youngsters have been given
trials by the American league teams. The
result of these trials has been the de-
velopment of sach diamond artists as
Speaker Baker, Wood, Gardiner, McInnis,
Barry. Collins, Ford, Cobb, Pratt, Shot
