Walsh to Begin
Training Early

CHICAGO, Nov big Ed Walsh
star hurler of the White SoN team,
is going to prepare himself for the
1914 season much before the rest
of his teammates. AT the suggestion
of Jim Scott, fellow hurler, Walsh is
going to pull his freight for Paso Ro-
bles camp early in February and put
his arm to the test. Scott followed
that plan a year ago and it worked
well, and the big spitball HEAVIER be-
lieves he, too, can regain his old form.
Walsh plans a hunting and motoring
trip from Connecticut and generally
leading the simple life. between now
and February. all of which is great
dope for his ailing salary wing.

MANY REDSOX
HOLD|NGOUT
FOR MORE PAY.
McAIeer May be Forced to Quit
World Trip to Sign
His Players.

n OSTON, Nov. 1.-Unless some Of
X the Boston Red Sox can be in
duced to hurry along their sig
natures to contracts for the season
of 1914 it is more than possible that
President McAleer Of the Boston club,
may be deprived of the long awaited
pleasure of a trip around the world
with an all-star baseball cast Up to
a week ago President McAleer was
placidly making preparations for his
getaway, but now it looks is though
the unsettled state of affairs in his
baseball family may keep him right
at home, much to his disappointment
NJ HILE many magnates have al
ready signed up majority Of
their men for another season, there
is noticeable dearth of signatures
in the Boston club strong box. AT
this time last season, Speaker, Carl
gan, Collins, Wagner, Lewis and a
few others were the only real hold outs
in the Boston camp, but it is lot
different just now, and Foster, Wood,
Carrigan and Wagner are practically
all the members of the family who
have agreed to get in line. The rea
son for this attitude is not very hard
~ ls uIt oul. II is the lIlulTecI re-
suit of the liberality that President
McAleer showed last fall when he is
sued the contracts for the sea son just
closed. Then, flushed with victory
and the achievement of worlds
championship, players went the limit
in their demands for an increase.
NJ ATURALLY, President McAleer
~ does not feel like going the limit
again with men whose work this last
summer was hardly in keeping with
the big compensation they drew. One
or two players had the forethought
to obtain a long-term contract at fat
figures last fall, but the majority
were not quite so fortunate and they
find the atmosphere a trihe different
in the office when they come to talk
salary. 1t is this task OF signing up
men that threatens to keep McAleer
in town for some time to come, and
unless several of the players change
their attitude a settlement of the diff
ficulty may not he arrived at for sew
eral weeks. The failure Of several
men to keep pace with the clip they
established in 1912 has convinced
President McAleer that he can still
claim to hail from Missouri He,
like a lot OF the fans, will in future
decide that they must be shown.

SAM LANGF ORD
APPEARS To Be
LOSING SKILL
Showing Against Jack Lester
Proves That CoIored Boxer Is
Slipping, Thinks Expert,
By W. w. Naughton.

~ AN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1.-The
Sam Langford who defeated
Jack Lester at Taft the other
compact, active Langford of a couple
Of years ago. When he stepped into
the oil fields arena Sam was as fat as
Christmas shoat and sported John
H. Sullivan wrinkle on the back Of
his head
Sans work was also unlike the
work he used to do. Remembering
the way Langford settled Jim Flynn
and others with that right uppercut.
it was to wonder how Lester put up
with so many punches of that partfc-
ular brand.
There were two ways of explaining
It. Either Sam was inclined to be
lenient with the Gle Flum hope or
Sam has lost some of his driving
power.
Looking at the chunky negro in the
broad glare of the afternoon sun,
where there was a fair opportunity of
gauging his purposes from his &C
ions the writer concluded that Sam
vas trying all right, and that he was
simply una BILE to deliver the goods in
his old, accustomed style.
Conscious of Fault.
Sam knew that his failure to put
away easy -land-on Lester deci
sively called for an explanation, and
as he passed out of the ring he told
he members of the small group Of
field correspondents that he was
bothered with a6ipose tissue and
found il hard to remove. Sam at
.,,:h,1ta1 n rotnn5itu IN tho
son of inactivity he experienced in
Australia, but said that he hoped to
tone down his proportions by rigor-
Gus training in the very near future.
Ii may be that Sam will be able to
reduce to his former weight, but at
that the chances are he will never be
Il $ good az he was before he went To
Australia. This thing of putting on
flesh, in the case of an athlete of any
kind, is a bad sign. 1t indicates that
a man is going to seed.
The history of pugilism teens with
stories of crack fighters who failed to
make good once they began to grow
stout. When Charles Mitchell trained
for Jim Corbett at Antasia Island,
down Florida way, he dubbed with
delight every day as his weight grew
less ~
Mitchell finally reduced himself I'M
II he looked like Mitchell of old. but
that was about all he accomplished.
While lessening his poundage he les
sened his vitality, and he was defeat
ed in what was undoubtedly the poor
est fight of his career
Sullivan, Top, Failed.
John l.. Sullivan was fat man
when he began training for Jim Cor
hett. By dint of hard work he con-
trived to make himself look compare
lively slim, out he had the same ex-
perience as Mitchell. Removing flesh
meant reducing vitality. and sullivan
lost to a man who did not have to
lake off fat.
The chances are Jim Jeffries suf-
tered in the same way when he sweat
ed off so Or SO pounds " excess fat
and came to look as much a fighter
rs possible when he faced Johnson
These are but a few instances, and
simply quote them because the men
mentioned are so well known. When
a ringman begins to get stout and
ADMITS that the surplus does not re-
spond to hard work as readily az in
former years. he is getting to the end

HORSE FELL INTO A TREE
Awaiting Aid, the Animal Tightly
clutehsd the Trunk With HE
Rear Hoofs.

Visitors to Ferry Bar were much
surprised the, other morning to see q
horse up among the branches Of q
tree. The animal had gotten In It's
uncomfortable position by falling ten
feet from bank that overstoppsd the
tree. The tree probably saved the
horses life.
The accident occurred while the
horse was grazing in pasture IN the
rear Of the Baltimore Motor club at
Ferry Bar. John Mcmahon, s77 West
Fayette street. was at work on q mo-
tor boat when he was startled By o
convulsiye rustling in the tree near
by. Looking up he was startled to
see four hoofs jutting through the
leaves and swinging madly back and
forth. A moment later the hoofs be-
came still and the horse wrapped the
rear ones around the tree, clutching
desperately to prevent further fall.
A call was sent to the Society for
the Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals
and an ambulance was hurried to the
scene. Blocks and tackle were fast
ened to tree stump on top of the hill
and leather belts were wrapped about
the horse. When the work of hitching
the belts was completed 1t was found
that the animal could not be rescued
until several Of the limbs of the tree
were cut of. This took considerable
time, during which the horse rested
and watched the work Of the score or
more Of men who were trying to re-
lease him. With the removal of the
last limb the horse was slowly drawn
to the top Of the bank from which he
had fallen. A close examination re-
vealed that outside of few scratches
he was NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Ameri-
can.
