Inevitable is the call OF Father Time
and irresistible are the consequences
that follows hand in hand with it Nc
matter how hard or how successful
one combats the ravages of the old
man he will in the end sink down into
the mire of ueelessness, borne down by
insupportable old age. Year after year
heroes of the diamond pass slowly
down the soapy way leading to OBJ
livion.
Joining this procession is Bill Foxen
veteran of many a National and South
ern league struggle. After battling
desperately and bravely in the South
ern for three years against the de-
nands of old Father Time, the jovial
and happy Baron southpaw has been
forced to yield to the inevitable, he
having been sold by Molesworth to the
Wilkesbarre club of the New York
State league.
Unanticipated, the announcement of
the deal yesterday by President Baugh
of the local club, came like bolt CT
lightning from a clear sky, and all
fandom is now wondering where the
ak will fall next. Clothed in secrecy,
the deal was put through without even
the most ardent bugs in the city get
ting wind of it.
To say that the release of Foxen is
a surprise would be putting it mildly,
for 1t was confidently expected by the
Baron followers that he would return
next year to resume work where he
left off.

deal has been pending for some time,

DORZIAS SETS NEW
STRENGTH RECORD
AT PENNSYLVANIA
PIRATE FANS SORE ON CLARK
FOR DEAL WITH CARDINALS

st. Louis, December 19.-Allowing
laws limit to any argument, which, of
course, is two sides, it now can be
stated officially that the Cardinals
out -slickered the Pirates in the famous
exchange of players, five for three. Not
in quantity though, but actually in
quality.
While the followers of the Cardinals
were rejoicing over the acquisition of
"Hank" Robinson. Chief Wilson, Jack
Miller, Art Butler and "Cozy' Dolan,
1t was supposed that the admirers of
Clarke's Corsairs also would be laugh
ing up their sleeves. But they aren't.
Information from fans of Pittsburg
reveals the gossip that Fred Clarke and
Barney Dreyfuss are in bad for swap
ping the quint and only getting Ed
Honey, Bob Harmon and Mike Mowrey.
The one to receive the information is
President Schuyler Britton.
Rushing through a batch of mail at
his desk at Robinson field yesterday
afternoon, Prexy Britton found a num-
ber of letters received from Pittsburg
friends One missive ran as follows:
Say, but the fans are after Clarke
They wanted Honey all right, but they
can't see why he didn't get something
better than Mowrey and Harmon for
the five players lost. Robinson was re-
garded as the best pitcher on the clubs
staff and now the Pirates are without
good left-handed pitcher. Southpaws,
you know, are mighty effective in the
National league, and that big kid will
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-12-20

be a tower of strength to the Cardinals.
Keep your eye on Hank and see if
l am not correct"
Naturally Schuyler P smiled. Who
wouldn't? A letter of this nature from
a local admirer would not have caused
the congenial Prexy to put on much of
a grin, but considering that it arrived
from Pennsylvania he smiled until he
opened the next letter.
Letter No. had the following for
part of its contents
Since the fans have attacked Clarke
for his trade with the st. Louis club
his answer is that the Pirates have the
greatest first baseman in the National
league. Clarke's attitude is that he had
to bid pretty high If the Pirates were
to be a pennant contender because if
he didn't secure Honey then the Giants
would.
For Honey to join McGraw's Giants
would have put the Pirates out of the
1914 pennant race, is Clarke's answer
Now, with Honey, he can jolly the fans
and himself into believing that he will
be right up in the race. The new faces
too, will serve to stimulate interest
around Forbes field is Clarke's version"
In way Clarke has a good alibi in
saying that he had to secure the big
Train" to prevent a walk-away for the
Giants in the 1914 grind. While Ed was
not sehation here this past summer
he is a great player, and to put him on
first for the Gotham crew would not
strengthen the Pirates chances to do
ing much this next season.
After G. Doom swapped Cozy Dolan
for Byrne and Camnitz he was anxious
to get Cozy back and hand Clarke his
two pirates. Prexy Britton is not show
ing any signs of being willing to pass
over those five Pirates to get the three
Cards again.

CAPTAIN ANSON
Tener Says There Is No
Need of Granting Vet

New York, December 19.-Governor
John X. Tener of Pennsylvania, the new
president of the National league, an
nounced today through Secretary Heyd-
ler of the league that Capt. Adrian C.
Anson, the veteran Chicago player, was
not in need of pension and he saw no
reason why one should be granted. A
proposal to pension Anson was dis
cussed at the annual meeting of the
league here during the week of De-
cember 8. Secretary Heydler's state
ment follows
Governor Tener was asked today II
he was in favor of pensioning Captain
Anson, and if he would have the Ma
tional league take some action in the
matter. In reply he. said:

reason why a pension should be voted

pearing weekly on the vaudeville stage.

In common with his many friends 1 de-

National leagues failure to provide a
pension for the captains support

Pennsylvania Student Reg

in Test

Philadelphia, December 19.-What is
claimed to be worlds record for strength
tests was made today by Michael Dor
zias. Greek athlete, who is student at
the University of Pennsylvania, when he
registered a total of 1890 Kilograms on the
standard testing machines in the uni
versity gymnasium. DR.. r. TAFT McKen-
zie, physical director, who witnessed the
tests. declared that in his opinion Dorzias
is the strongest man in the world.
Dorzias earlier in the year made new
Pennsylvania and what is claimed to be
an intercollegiate record of IT'S kilograms.
This was almost eaualled yesterday BY

MOST BALL PLAYERS FALL
INTO DISCARD WHEN THIRTY

New York, December 19.-It all depends
on the sort of athlete referred to-that' 5
the answer to the question: "At what
age is an athlete at his best?"
In baseball an athlete usually reaches
his prime around 25, and goes into the
discard around 30; in boxing the limit
ranges from 20 to %; in football it Is
from II to %, with the crest around 20;
but there are exceptions to these rules
as there are exceptions to all the rules.
Walter johnson. the whirlwind twirler
of the Senator's has Just turned %, and
/ looks good for 10 years more in major
league society Ty Cobb, of the Detroit
Tigers, and Eddie Collins, of the Ath-
letics. are around 81 and, barring acci-
dent ought to be cavorting on the big
league diamonds for 10 years more -
The same is true of Joe Wood, the
Boston twirler. now "a ."rris'' Speaker,
the Boston outfielder, now %; Joe Jack
son, the Cleveland slugger, who is around
25, and Jimmy Archer the Cub catcher,
who already has reached 30.
Mathewson, of the Giants, now is 50
has beeh in the big league for 10 years,
and is still one of the greatest twirlers
that ever stepped to the mound.- Eddie
Plank, the portside Finger of the Ath-
letics, is 81 has been many years in sery-
Ice and still is a star of the first water.
The national game does not boast of
two better infielders two grander slug
gers than Lajoie, of the Maps. and Wag-
ner, of the Pirates Wagner Is 40 and
has mingled in big league battles for
II seasons. Lajoie is about two years
the junior of the Pirate, and has been
In major leagues for II years.
What's the answer? First, that these
four men are among the greatest nat
ural ball players ever born. And the
second part of the answer is that they
have kept themselves in condition through
the years-have lived straight, clean lives,
have taken care of their physical selves
and so have survived the legions who
have come and gone during the past Il
years.
In tennis there is no real age boun-
dairy. Just now it looks as if youth has
one call, because Maurice Mclaughlin
the Californian, and national champion
is only %. and r. Norris Williams, sec
ond, is the same age. These two with
| their two teammates. who won the in
ternational tennis championship, aver
aged around %. But. in rebuttal Wild
ing, the great New Zealander star, who
defeated Mclaughlin. Is we'll into his

mis- players in America and in Europe are
over 30, and esome are nearing the &c
mark.

CAPTAIN ANSON WILL
NOT GET PENSION
FROM THE NATIONAL

In golf it is the same as In tennis.
Ouimet, the American open champion, is
only 20. Trayers one of the greatest
golfers in the country, is 26. Most of
the American stars are either under %
or only slightly over it. But in Eng
land 1t is somewhat different. Vardon
and Ray, that wonderful pair. are near
ing the grandfather age. Hilton, the
English amateur champion, is over 40,
and J. IL. Taylor, open. champion. is 43.
Football calls for youth, and the grid
iron gladiators seem at their best around
20 and u. Before that age the player
has not arrived at his full development;
usually after it the strenuous game ex-
acts its toll and after a player reaches
% or 2I his effectiveness is gone

pace of the Southern being little too
much for his tired and worn salary
wing.
during the past season Foxen won
j5 battles and lost IA, for an aver
cge of .517. He struck out 12S and
issued passes to 107 batters, ranking
rourth in this respect. During the SO

ing batters succeeded in rapping his
delivery for a total of 247 bingles.
His record during the 1918 season.
compared with the one of 1912, DEM
onstrates clearly how rapidly he is
losing his effectiveness. In 1912 he won
19 and lost 8, finishing the season
with an average of .679. Thus it will
be seen that he declined .162 during
last season.
Foxen made his debut in the South
ern league toward the close of the
1911 season with Atlanta. coming from
The Chicago Cubs. After a short trial
he was released to the Barons, where
