PLANS INSTRUCTIONS CAMPS.
War Department May Establish
Three for Cavalry Next Summer.

If affairs on the Mexican border do
not prevent, it Is probable the War De-
partment will arrange for three brigade
cavalry camps of instruction next sum-
mer. One will be established at Leon
Springs. Tex, and another at Fort Bliss
or Fort Huachuca. The camp at Win
chester. Va. is virtually an established
institution. Options have been obtained
by the War Department on a new camp
site. which is only a mile and half
from the city of Winchester. Officers
who have inspected 1t say that it's ter
rain Is better suited to cavalry exercises
than the land that was used last sum-
mer. 1t is SO close to Winchester that
the city main can be tapped. and thus
the water supply problem will be solved.
Plans are under consideration by which
the same scheme for the instruction OF
the National Guard Cavalry that has been
employed at Field Artillery camps for
the past two or three years will be
adopted at these camps. II that plan Is
approved. the states will be asked to
send mounted troops to Winchester and
other cavalry camps. where they will be
made, as far as possible. part of the pro-
visional brigade.

in fine shape. In 1910 he caught for
Savannah, in this league He was con-
sidered the best catcher in the league
and was bought by Atlanta. He played
with Atlanta in 1911 and part of 1912,
going to Gadsden in the Southeastern
League, where he played until he was
sold to Vancouver in the Northeastern
League He refused to report to Van
couver and later became free agent

Than Harry Kunkel, who resigned
his position, there was never a more

been handicapped by illness since the
season opened and also on account o.
the fact that he was unfamiliar win
the needs of the South Atlantic

circuit. Kunkel will make some team
a good man and will no doubt land a
job in a hurry. He has the best wishes

BALL PLAYERS
WERE PAID
Small Sums in Past For
Playing Ball

Forty-four years ago the first pro
Iessional ball club in the world was
organized. 1t was the famous Cincin-
natl Reds, the pioneer paid baseball
club, in whose existence the great ma
tional game, as it exists today had its
inception
In 1869 this club played through the
entire season, from March 10 till No
vember 10, and never lost a game. 1t
finished the season with standing Of
1000, Its payroll for the year, in
Guiding every cent that went to the
players in salaries, was $4,000
There were ten players on the club,
of which one was a pitcher, Asa Brain
ard, and another was a substitute. The
highest paid man was George Wright,
who got $1,4OO; the shortstop, Captain
Harry Wright, pulled down $1,000
for his service The pitcher who. went
through the season with a clean re
cord got, SLIGO. Six men drew in $500
And last year Hans Wagner pulled
down a cool $4,000 for galloping
around somewhere between second and
third, furnishing the pill and running
bases.
Some difference. What!
Tyrus Cobb got $4,000 last year, AMI
was holding out for $4,000 this season.
He could have signed any day for $40
600.
Now you could take Wagner's sal
airy and Ty Cobb's salary, lump them,
and have two world beaters-back IN
1869.
Last year the sum paid out in sala-
ries to the players of the National
league ran pretty close to 100000.

; feat looks picayunish, doesn't it?
Wonder what club that could go

cost? Wonder how high a pitcher who
never lost would come with Walter
Johnson getting $1,000?
And those fellows played ball in Il
different way than it is played today.
They didn't have gloves, masks, shoes,
protectors and the thousand and one

TOO Much PUBLICITY
HARMFUL TO TOSSERS

All baseball men agree that too much
publicity does a young player, espe-
cially if he is a pitcher, more harm
than good. During a tanning bee, Jack
Hayden, manager of the Louisville
club, brought out the difference be-
tween boosting youngster and one
getting no advance advertising.
Take Marty O'Toole, of the Pitts
burg club" said Hayden "O'Toole
will be a wonder just as soon as the
public forgets that Dreyfuss paid $22,-
500 for him. The fans expected too
much of O'Toole last season, and the
managers of the other clubs stacked
their best twirlers up against him re
eatedly. Then, too. luck didn't break
with O'Toole last season, but he will
get there this year. When O'Toole was
N The American association. saw
him pitch games when we considered
CURSE Ives lucky if we got a foul of
dis delivery"
Hayden's idea of O'Toole is in line
with the opinion of other baseball me-
whu believe that as soon as the public
.'tops this thinking of Marty as the
$22,50O beauty" he will settle down
and become big asset to the Pirates.

(From Judge)
All the worlds ball,
And all the men upon it merely play

They have their innings and their
field chances,
And each man in his time plays every
base,
His life being seven RACES.
At first the infant,
Pitching and bawling in his nurse:
arms,
And then the shining school boy, with
his Rocket
And scornful open face, playing "oId

And far away from school. Then the
reporter,
Roasting like a furnace, with a Woe
full ballad
Made to his masters high-brow. Then
the umpire,
Full of strange sounds and wordless
as the wind,
Jealous in judgment, sudden and quick
in fine,
Seeking a BOBBY reputation
Straight from the players mouth. And
then the magnate,
With wide-checked waistcoat and with
check book lined,
Full of league laws and ancient in
stances
Of how he played his part The next
age shifts
Into the lean and lippy bleacher-bird
With spectacles on nose and score in
hand,
His "Wheelings' Pride" we'll chewed, a
world too big
For his loose lips, and his big, boost
ing voice,
Turning again toward childish treble
pipes
And whistles as he roots, Last scene
of all,
Which ends this ballad and batty his
tory,
Is second fannishness and mere OBJ
livion,
Fans taste, fans talk, fans dope, fans
