Weakness of Nearly Every
Man That Faces Him
RESPECTED BY EVERS

Chicago. December 9.-Christy Mathew
son is king of all pitchers when it comes
to crossing the batters Mordecai Brown
came closest to his rival in this respect.
but Big Six goes on through the ages as
master.
Johnny Evers, crafty batter himself
was discussing Mathewson the other day.
The manager of the Trojans has the
highest respect for Chrsty.
I don't believe Mathewson pitched the
same way to me twice all season." re-
marked Evers. He might start out by
dinking one a little on the inside, an
other on the outside, come across with
a fadeaway and then shoot fast one
across the plate while | was waiting for
something else.
THE next time | went up Christv was
liable to start out with fadeaway, dink
slow one on the inside follow with a
fast one and then another fadeaway.
Consequently you never could be prepared
for the next ball. For Matty knows ex-
actly what you can't hit and takes ad-
vantage of said fact"
Whether Matty is the same today as
he was 10 years ago is another question.
Records show he used to fan from two
to three more men during a game ON the
average than he does today. Then he
had more stuff Today he pitches more
carefully and scientifically.
Evers for one insists Christy Is fully
as good as he was five years ago. Others
will tell you the same thing. He is never
bad
When Mathewson had all his stuff on
the ball he was whirlwind He might

Ira Thomas Denies Report
That Champions Have
Deserted Cause

Philadelphia, December 9.-Ira Thomas,
catcher of the Philadelphia Athletics and
that clubs delegate to the Baseball Play
ers' Fraternity, today denied that the
worlds champions had deserted the cause
of the fraternity.
''It is true that the Athletics did not
sign the paper which contained the de-
mands the fraternity asks of the National
and American leagues said Thomas, ''but
that was because we We're busy with
the world series when the meeting was
voting. Our players will go along with
the fraternity as we agreed to do so.'
Thomas explains that even if the men
signed the fraternity lobby request they
could not do so with the thought that
they applied to Mr.. Mack
Connie Mack does not hold his players
by reason of signed contracts but he holds
them because he is eminently fair and
gives us practically all we ask for, said
Thomas. He does not stick to hard and
fast rules unpoetical.

RIVAL IN RODGERS
Coast Recruit Comes to the
Maps Highly TOuted
POPULAR ON COAST
Work Last Season Far Superior 20
Other Keystone Guardians-Uni-
versal Choice for All-Star
HOnors in Coast League

Portland. Ore. December 9.-That Cleve-
land will get one OF the fastest men in
baseball today when William (BilO Rod
gers, twice captain of the Portland Coast
league team. joins the Maps. Is the decla-
ration of many prominent baseball fans
as well as Fielder Jones, president of the
Northwestern league, and former man
ager of the White Sox.
News that Rodgers was TO be missed In
the Beaver lineup next year came as
shock to Portland fans. with whom Rod
gers has become a great favorite. His
work the latter part of this season was so
far superior to other second basemen in
the league that he couldn't help but land
his team the pennant.
Again this year has Rodgers been made
the universal choice for all-star honors
around the coast circuit, and as one OF
the greatest major league prospects in the
minor leagues. The McCredies, as we'll
as the Portland and all-ircuit Coast
league fans. hate to see Rodgers go to
the majors yet all are of one opinion.
that he is deserving of all dues.
BIZ is % years old and has been play
ing league ball hardly five years so the
Maps will find him good for years to
come.
Rodgers began with Rochester in 1909
and was farmed out to Waterbury, of the
Connecticut State league. 1t was from
this point that the Mercedes drafted Bill
in the fall of 1910. and Rodgers made good
from the start the spring following. From
the jump at the training camp I'm Cali
fornia. 1t was known that Rodgers was
a Find" and he has proven his worth.
This. of course, is Rodgers third sea-
son with Portland, and 1t was last year
that he was made captain. He has won
derful control over his men while on the
field, and seldom are there disputes, col
lisions or troubles on the Beavers field
when Rodgers is at second base, Master
of his men.

MANY CLUBS AFTER
SERVICES OF TINKER
Should Have Little Trouble
in Picking Up Good Job
CUBS ARE FAVORITES
Evers Wants Him Badly - Roger
Bresnahan One of Picks for
Leader of Reds During
1914 Season
CUBS ARE FAVORITES

Joe Tinker, recently let out as manager
of the Cincinnati club of the National
league, should have little trouble picking
out good job from those that have been
mentioned for him since he was deposed
of the leadership of Garry Herrmann's =
team. Here are a few things Joe might
do next year.
Johnny Evers, manager for Cubs would
like to have him.
So would Fred Clarke of Pirates.
Doom of Philies is after him.
Same for Johnny McGraw.
He will be made an offer by the Fed
eral league.
1t is almost certainty that he will
be able to pick up something good out
of this. Tinker is clever shortstop
although not as young as several of the
Others in the league. But the ex-star of
the Cubs is one of the most reliable in
the business. Not only can he field well,
but he also hits the ball hard.
There's good chance that he will
land with the Cubs Evers wants him
badly, as Al Bridwell is slowing up
greatly and the Bruin leader does not
know how well Keating, his shortstop
recruit, will do. Then Tinker also has
stated that he would like to play with
his former mates again. So there's a
good chance of Joe landing in the Windy
City.
Roger Bresnahan. the former boss of
the Cardinals, last year with the Cubs,
is one of the picks for the management
of the Reds in 1914. Maybe Roger will
get the nomination and a trade be ar
ranged between the Reds and Cubs in
volving Bresnahan and Tinker.
Manager Clarke of the Pirates is will
in to give Herman some players for
the erstwhile short fielding star of the
Cubs. while the same goes for Charley
Doom of the Phillies, although Doom
has Mike Donlan, one of the best short
stops in the National league, on his pay
roll. But managers are after the good
men, no matter how big stars they have
on their club. That's shown clearly In
the case of the Pirates and Phillies
wanting Tinker with Hans Wagner and
Mike Doolan around.
The Giants could use Tinker. because
Art Fletcher is none too reliable in the
pinches. Then if the Giants had Joe,
Matthewson's nemesis would no longer
be with an opposing club. While with the
Cubs, the best thing the shortstop did was
to beat Matty almost every time Big Six
opposed the Bruins Charles Ebbets of
the Superbas recently stated that he
would make big offer to the former man.
ager of the Reds.
Maybe Tinker will line up with one OF
the National league clubs against next
year. But then again maybe he won't.
1t may be the Federal league where
Tinker will play in 1914

ALSO AFTER CHICAGO

Nashville, December 9.-(Special) }
Once more the Commodores are con-
templating an invasion of the eastern
football world This time 1t is to be
Pennsylvania against. which sample
of the McGugin system of football will
be pulled off. That is if the present ne
gotiations of the Vanderbilt schedule
committee pan out with the Pennsyla-
Mans
Should such a meeting be arranged
1t will mark the fourth time the Com
modores have tackled an eastern eleven,
previously having met the Navy, Yale
and Hazard. The Midshipmen and the
Blue were held to tie, while the Com
modores, after a bitter fight bowed to
the Cambridge team by small margin.
Just enough to justify the belief that
another eastern match would draw like
flies. The Commodores have been the
only strictly southern eleven to carry
the football standard into the eastern
country, and their remarkable showing
on their three previous visits has given
them sufficient advertisement to insure
big crowd in Philadelphia.
The schedule committee is also dick
ering with Chicago for game in the
Windy City, and Coach McGugin is
pulling all his wires for the success of a
meeting being arranged with the con-
ference champions McGugin and Coach
Stagg are old time friends and tho
Vanderbilt pilot is hankering for a
crack at the powerful Chicago machine
Anyone would think that the Com
modores are getting just little bit
too chesty, considering the disastrous
1913 season, during which Vanderbilt
suffered more reverses than in all the
previous 10 years of the McGugin
regime combined. But the remarkable
come back" stunt pulled off by the
Commodores on Turkey Day, which was
not excelled by the Yale Bulldog in that
pugnacious animals palmiest days, and
the prospects next year of the mightiest
machine in all of Vanderbilts history
has made the Gold and Black just a bit
ambitious to clean up in 1914. At that
they are going to have their hands full
settling a few old scores with the Au-
burn Tigers and the Virginians, but
McGugin has it all figured out that
Vanderbilt will be miles and miles
ahead of any former machine, while
Auburn and Virginia will surely be
weaker

informed that he had been elected pres
ident of the league, said:
ITO be elected president of the parent
association of organized baseball is an
honor anyone might covet, and coming

especially pleasing. Baseball not only de-
yeops the best physical form, but has a

the game cannot be questioned, while its
enthusiasts and admirers are always
legion. The honesty of baseball is It's
greatest asset, and to preserve and main
tain its good name shall be my chief con-
cern, as has been first in the minds of
all my predecessors in office.
Naturally | have certain ideas, which,
when carried out, l believe will add to
the popularity and greater enjoyment OF
those who will witness National league
baseball, and to a better and more COM
plete understanding by those who par
ticipate and those who are committed
to the promotion of the best interests of
organized baseball. / prefer rather to
work out these ideas than to announce
them at this time.
II anticipate only the most pleasant
relations between Mr.. Johnson of the
American league and myself. since both
of us will always be primarily of one
mind, that is. to maintain the high STAN

seems that Mr.. Hunt had called the
negro to get out his hands and do
certain hoeing. The negro gave Mr..
Hunt some impertinence and told him
he was his own boss and would go to
work when he got ready. OF course
this enraged the white man who told
the negro what he would do for him
if he didn't do as he said. Whereup-
on the negro seized hoe and struck
Mr. Hunt, who threw up his right
arm and warded of the blow from his
head or body, receiving the lick on
his arm. Mr.. Hunt. went into the
house for his gun, returning with 1t
to the yard, prepared for the negro
when the negro with desperate cour-
age again attacked the white man,

for the timely interference Of another
