ABILITY AND LUCK.
Fred Clarke Says That Not Always
 Does Best Man Win.

When Fred Clarke was asked to pick the National league pennant winner he replied. There are two elements that enter into baseball. One is ability, the
 other is luck. It generally requires combination of the two to annex pen hants. Do mean to say that the best club does not always win? Yes. Take situation like this The bases are full and batsman sends a drive that a neider misjudges or muffs and ali the runners score. Luck. Take another example: Same situation on the sacks and a good bdtSnan drives out a. long hit, which a fielder on dead run with one hand in the air pulls down. More luck Multiply incidents like this, and give one club more than it's share of the bad breaks, and you have sit uaEion in which an inferior club will very often finish 8 season ahead of a better club. There are ether things that enter into the luck of the game also-sickness, accidents, the suspen- sion of players when 8 team is erip- pied and countless other little items that cut big figure in the grand total. 50 say that no mans baseball dope is good thing to put money on, no matter how expert his judgment as to playing ability may be. And it is well enough perhaps that this is true, be- cause it creates a glorious uncertain ty which every student of the game will admit to be the feature which sustains popular interest in the sport. If the admittedly stronger clubs all ways won, where would your baseball be? It is the chance that weak club always has which swells the gate re- ceipts, and makes baseball the great est American pastine. In football, in racing, and even in pugi1ism the better contestant seldom loses; in baseball every week furnishes it's surprises and it's thrills, and if there is anything the amusement seeker likes 1t is surprises and thrills. So far as the Pirates are concerned I think I may say that we are always hopeful and never boast ful. The games are things to fight for; the breaks things to pray for If we get our share of the breaks we will be up there semeWhere-at the top,

AIRDALE AND LORD ALLEN.
Two Famous Colts Added to "Lon"
 McDonaId's Stable.

Two famous colts were added re- ! gently to the large number in training at the state fairgrounds at Indianap- olls- One was the worlds champion yearling tretter Airdale. which last year took a mark of 2.15% faster by seconds than any trotter of that age. The other Was Lord Allen, which last year was the best two-y -year-old out, taking mark of AHA and winning the Kentucky futurity. Both go into the stable of Lon Mcdonald. This grand circuit trainer, who has made a practice of taking his stable South every winter. has decided to keep his horses in Indianapolis until the racing campaign begins the first week in July. He recognizes the fact that the Indianapolis track has all Nthe accom- modations and more than those of other places, while the climate, week in and week out, compares faverably even with the southern training re- sorts. In bad weather the cinder path allows of the horses being given the necessary Jog work, and when the time comes they will make speed fast enough because of the proper prepa- ration.
 Of the colts added to McDonald's stable, Lord Allen was trained and raced by him, last year, and he be-
 ieyes that under favorable conditions he would have been able to shade 2.1O one or two seconds He would prob ably have given a record that fast had IL IlOl leA1IiStt dtifIIl2 lIle lSiSC QdyS OI the Lexington meeting that marked the close of the season. With so much speed, Lord Allen looks like an ex- cellent candidate for the three-year- old futurities this season. If nothing goes wrong with him and he has fair break in racing luck, he will win some of the big money, says an en- thusiastic writer He is by the noted sire Tregantic, 2.09i4, which is acquir- ing a reputation as string early and Q ar-I5 +l.., colt took q record of 2.26, and as he has trained on in a most satisfactory manner, it does not look as though it injured baby trotters very much to educate them to trot fast if the work is properly done.
 A1rdaie was giTen much the same preparation as a yearling as Lord AL len. but he had more extreme speed and therefore was able to reduce the worlds record in a trial mile against the watch. The best previous record for yearlinE trouter was that of Miss Stokes. which trotted in 2.I9L and was subsequently a futurity winner as three-yar- in McDonaIds stable When Miss Stokes established her record 1t was considered q phenom- enal performance, for Abdell's mark of 2.23 had been the best for that age for years. In fact, there were those who predicted that 1t would never be beaten. Possibly this judgment was affected t6 some extent by the fact that the marking of yearlings had somewhat gone out of style. but after Miss Stokes showed what could be done by the baby trotter. dozens of

THE WHALERs' LAYOUT.
Johnny Burns Has Squad of Good
 Ones at New London.


 Manager Burns of New London has twenty-four men signed up to date, as follows: Catchers, Boye, U1rich and Garvey; pitchers. Jordan, Boldt,, Rie- ger, Manser, Abercrombie, Radabough, Hedeman Griebiel: first base, MacIn- tyre; second base or shortstop, Dun lap, Herman, Shea, Johnson; third base, Ostrich; outfield, Briggs, Sulli- van, Nealon, Bowling, Keefe, Meade, Treutman.
 Half of the men signed have played here before. says the New London Day. Of the catchers Walter Foye has been here three seasons. He is a good backstop and great pinch hitter. Briggs was the premier back stop of the New England league last season. He wanted too much salary this season and Lawrence sold him to New London. Garvey is collegian and brings & strong recommendation from Hughey Jennings.
 Of the pitchers, Jordan. Bo1dt and Refger have all worked here. The other come well recommended. Much is expected of Radabough from his work in the south.
 Slim MacIntyre, who is scheduled to hang out around the getaway, played here the last two, seasons and his work pleased the fans.
 Of the four infieldefS from whom Burns expects to land 8, shertstep and secend baseman, Dunlap is the only enc known here; He did the shor field fer the locals last senson, Shc;i comes frci Newark of the Interna- tiona1 league.
 Eddie Ostrich wine is slated for third, was here the last two seasons. He did not hit very strongly, but his fielding was fine.
 Paddy Sullivan and Bill Nealen of last seasen's eutfeid, are retained and among them are Briggs also pur- chased from Lawrence; Pat Keefe, who stuck while in the big league, and others with go, d records in sev- eraI leagues.

Almeida to Catch

According to A report from Cincin- nati AImeida, the former New Bri- tain infieIder, may be converted into a catcher this season. Says an ex- change: '1The fact is 1t really would not be case of converting, for Al meida was catcher before he be- came a. third baSeman, and used that iron arm of his to good advantage in side tracking venturesome base run ners. Then there arose an emergency in which it became necessary to switch Almeida to third. where he made good and stuck. Now he is to return to his old love. with prospects of once more making good as a back stop. He has been working out be- hind the pad this winter. and, accord ing to all reports. is showing rare form in all departments Of the game. It's a cfnch that his frs tryouts in the south will be with the catching squad'

 Secretary James E. Sullivan of the amateur athletic union of the United States wants to know why women are permitted to compete in Pacific asso- ciation swimming meets. Has this been going on long on the coast, and what is the idea, of it?" Sullivan in quiries in a letter received recently by Chairman George James of the Pacific associa tion registration committee at San Francisco. The "A. A. U.,' he writes, refuses to recognize women athletes, and as no one can take part in an A. A. U. meet unless registered he asks an explanation concerning the women swimmers
 James. in his reply to Sullivan, coun- ters with the question as to why Wo- men are recognized as amateurs in the international Olympic games, naming several famous girl swimmers who competed at Stoqkholm last summer. He explains that the local contest about which Sullivan is concerned, was merely an exhibition race. Women swimming races are by no means for bidden on the Pacific though they never have been sanctioned by the To- cal branch of the A. A. U.

le youngsters were placed in train

the youngsters were placed in train ing.
 two -olds, trainers will probably consider it necessary to give the yearlings Kindergarten lessons. If they develop extreme speed while do- ing this, the trainers consider 1t only fair that they should be allowed to give the yearlings records as proof to the public that they have done their work. Notwithstanding this. an ef- fort was made at the annual meeting of the kentucky trotting horse breed CTS association to pass a rule forbid ding trainers marking yearlings over the Lexington track. There was con- siderable opposition and the motion was shelved for the time being. Un- der the rules of the two parent asso- citations, yearlingS cannot compete in races. and it is because CT this that the youngsters are given tin cup'' or time records. Both Lord Allen and Airdale are owned by J. Howard Ford, a New York millionaire. who is very fond of the trotters. 1t was only re- gently that he sold Billy Burk. 2.03K, to the Europeans.
 Mcdonald regretted losing Billy Burk from his stable. as he believed that the stallion had an excellent chance to take the 1aureL away from the worlds champion trotting stallion, The Harvester. POI. He raced the horse very successfully last season, but a champion is not made in minut Lon" believed, however, that with another careful wintering he would be able to do the trick. AL though he has lost the star of his aged trotters, he has in the two colts mentioned 3, pair that promise to de- velop into sentational performers. The Indianapolis trainer has several green ones that are exceedingly fast, and, with good luck. may become stars.
