r F novelty is indeed the spice. of
life. the major league baseball
campaigns of 1913 should be
lively enough to suit the most fas-
tidioUs taste. There is such an ele-
ment of uncertainty this year as
has never been evidenced since the
two great rivals began to DO bust
ness along peaceable terms. When
the barrier springs on April 10 no
less than seven of the sixteen big
league managers will be nothing
more than experiments in the very
strictest sense of the word.
This year seven new managers
make their bows in as many big
show towns. Three new managers
viii bid for public patronage in the
American league four will do like
wise in the National league circuit.
Ban Johnson's new generals are
Frank Chase, George Stovall and
Joe Birmingham. Tom Lynch's
new commanders are Johnny EY-
ers. Joe Tinker, Miller Higgins and
George Stallings.
OF these seven leaders three viii
be watched with exceptional inter
est. These are Frank Chance,
Johnny Evers and Joe Tinker.
Chance will command perhaps the
greatest attention of any baseball
man in a new venture since the
time John j, McGraw deserted
Baltimore and the American league
to assume command of the New
York Giants.
Give Chances Men Credit.
For kindred reasons Chances flu
ture will be followed with interest
by the whole sporting world. There
have been those pessimistic enough
to insinuate that much of the sue
cess of the Peerless Leader" has
been due to the exceptional brain
power Of the men under him-men
like j. Evers, Joe Tinker and Nor
decai Brown. 1t is up to Chance to
disprove this allegation by improv-
ing the position of the local tail
endeTs
For the same reason the work of
Johnny Evers, with the Cubs, and
Joe Tinker with the Reds, will
command respect. Both of these
Chance disciples have fallen into
harder ways than the one who for
merly was their boss. Compared
to either, Frank Chance has a sine
cure. The Peerless Leader" takes
charge of a rank tailender. His
club can not possibly retrograde
any father. If there is any change,
it must naturally be for the better
And it Is a team that is possessed
of first division possibilities from
the very start
AS a winter manager Evers has
shown rare judgment and has eff
fected several trades that should
prove highly beneficial. He drove
very stiff bargain fer Frank Chance,

always ready to take a punch in

breaking ground when under the
heaviest fire In short. New York
ers will see a fighter pure and sim
pie.
If Rivers can buffalo Cross with
his hurricane style the scrap will
be short and sweet, But If the
Mexican tries to stand up and box
there may be a different story to
tell. for at that kind of milling the
Bowery dentist is hard to beat.
out in California many good
boxing critics think that Rivers Is
the best lightweight in the world.
This opinion has prevailed ever
since Rivers fought AID Wolgast at
Vernon on July last year: In that
affair it was openly charged that
the referee counted Rivers out in
the thirteenth round, when as a
matter of fact Wolgast was lying
inSensible in the referees arms.

terial. Chicago's outtield should be
stronger than for some years. If
any kind of a fair shortstop is de-
veloped to replace the great Tinker,
Johnnys infield win rank with the
best, for no rival can boast three
better men at their positions than
Safer, Evers and Zimmerman.
Cubs Great Pitching Staff
1t looks very much as if Evers
will have the greatest catching
corps of history in Archer and
Bresnahan for according to the lat
est reports Roger has as good as
signed with him. That puts it
squarely up to Cub pitching. This
department is very. very weak,
however, and unless improved ma
terially Chicago can not hope to
figure seriously.
Any one who attempts to brave
the storm of Cincinnati's anvil cho-
rus is worthy of all the sympathy
that can possibly be spared. If Joe
Tinker makes good in Redland he
will be just about twice as foxy as
he would have to be to make good
in any other town. August Herr
mann had to give up a whole lot
to land Tinker But in landing him
he secured what the Reds needed
very badly for many years-a real
shortstop.
In the American league. besides
Chance. are two other ventures
George Stovall, at St Louis. and
Joe Birmingham, at Cleveland.
Both of them finished the season
of 1912 at the heads of these teams,
though neither opened the 1912
campaign in that capacity. Neither
can be regarded as a big league
experiment in as strict a sense as
can Evers or Tinker or Miller Hug
gins in the National league. Yet
neither of these men has been d full
season in charge of a club.
Expect Much of StovalI.
Stovall finished the season of
1911 in command of the Clevelands,
and finished so we'll that every one
thought him real phenom Unfor-
tunately for him. before the task
had been assigned, George Davis
had been secured for 1912. Davis
proved a blooner after trading Sto-
vail to the Browns. In st. Louis
Stovall was given command after
Rhody Wallace proved a miserable
failure. The man who had been so
successful in Cleveland did not fall
down in the Mound City. He pull
ed what looked like the sorriest
team in the world out of the ruck.
and finished in seventh place Much
is expected of him the coming year.
Joe Birmingham. fine outfield-
er. and one of the greatest throw
ers in the game, had an experience
much after that of Stovall the pre-
Vious year Birmingham was Sc
lected as temporary leader of the
Maps when George Davis threw up
the sponge in disgust Under Biz
mingham's administration the Blues
pulled themselves together and
made a strong finish.
Birmingham Unknown Quantity.

RUMOR PERSISTS THAT
YANKS WILL GET LAJOIE

CLEVELAND, Jan. 14-Ever since
Joe Birmingham took charge of the
Cleveland baseball team as manager there
have been rumors that Napoleon Lajoie.
the second baseman and slugger, would
not be on the team in 1918
The story published that Laioie and
Turner might go to the White Sox for
Harry Lord and Rolla Zeider- does not tell
all. The general belief here is that some
deal perhaps a three cornered one, would
be made whereby Lajoie would go to the
New York Yankees, where, under Chance,
he would be big drawing card

der the Frawley boxing law win be
decided tonight in the ring Of the

much talked-of Mexican light

Cross is q years old and Rivers

ATTLING NELSON at last
X accounts was on his way to

n.r rIayers' friend, in an attempt

snuckles patched in such a way
,Fa+ he may be able to continue
lighting.
And this after seventeen years
in the ring.
Just let that statement about the
seventeen years steep into your
brain and then realize what a ca
rear this iron man has had.
He began to battle early in 1896,
and has been at it ever since, with
only an occasional lapse The
coming wear, therefore, mar&s his
seventeenth milestone in fighting
history. And Bat has made plenty
of history; you can gamble some
On mat.
Hands Badly Crippled.
Why should this piece of whale
home want to fight any more, you
NAV wonder, when 1t is shown that
his hands are almost hopelessly
rfrpIed and mashed. and it is re
ported that he is well blessed with
die worlds goods. said blessing be-
ing i'm the shape of plenty of coin.
That's hard to answer. 1t is plain
from what Nelson says about it
that no believes he is just as good
as Inc was the day he grabbed the
championship from Joe Cans back
i'm 1906 ana much again on
the authority Of Bat himself-than
h. was the day back in 1910 in
Point Richmond when AID Wolgast
succeeded to the crown.
Bats wealth is another thing
again. as Montague Glass would re-
mark. It may or it may not have
to do with Bats present desire to
60 along and have his face beaten
up by younger and presumably bet
ter men, better men. at least, at
the present style of boxing over the
sprint distances.
Has Been Terribly MauIed.
For Bats face during those sew
enteen years he has been in and out
of the top division has been ham
mered into an entirely different
shape than it was originally. 1t
takes pictures to show this. Though
ne had been through much up to
The time that he trimmed the fad
ing Cans for the lightweight cham
plonship out on the Pacific coast. he
didn't look anything like he does
today. Win or lose, Bat always
had to take pretty much of a Sc
we're trouncing from his opponents.
Since WoIgast beat him in 40 ter
life rounds in the rain and mud
that day across the bay from San
Francisco, Bat seems to have got
it Worse than ever every time he
started.
And only the other night down in
New Orleans lie took on young.

fresh. strong chap named frankie
Russell The latter is another
French market boy like Joe Man
dot, only a SITTER puncher and a
wilder mixer. Bat got a heavy
beating and came out of the fray
after ten rounds of strenuous
work, most of which was done by
Russell, in bad shape.
Here is what H T. Mcdaniel,
fight writer on The Item, said of
Bats appearance after the con-
test:
Both ears We're puffed and swol-
len so badly that they resembled
small hams. His nose was spread
east and west and his lips were
swollen and bloated looking. His
eye no longer betokens the athlete,
but tells US merely of a strong
willed man whose courage still car
ries him on against the youngsters
of the day. Both hands are on the
blink, the right being especially
tender"
Still Tough as Ever.
But withaI Nelson is still as
tough as ever. He is game, aggres-
sive and would be possessed OF the
old wallop if he had knuckles that
could stand the shock of meeting
the other fellows hard head
And this all after seventeen
years of all sorts of milling.

A CLEVER IDEA
OF SUPT. SKULL
Makes Ink Erasing Liquor
for the Schools.

The public schools are indebted to
superintendent s. e. Shull for the
fluid that Is used to erase ink blots.
ETC., which practically costs nothing.
Almost exactly the same composition
Is sold on the market at fifty cents
per box and does not serve the pur-
pose 20 better advantage.
Some time ago while Mr.. Shull
was using the specially prepared
Eureka H. II. ink eraser, he thought
to himself what an improvement it
was on the old system of scratching
off a blot with sharp knife, and
how we'll 1t would be to have the
chemical combination at each public
school. But the price of fifty cents
for such a little box precluded Its
general use by the students. Then
the idea came to him that, like many
Of the patented compositions, proba-
bly, this one was composed OF some
simple chemicals. So he had the
liquid analyzed by the chemistry
teacher in the high school. The
chief components were found to be
citric acid In one Of the bottles and
chloride OF lime In the other, to-
gether with some other substance
which gave the liquid its peculiar
color. There are two bottles used.
as it requires two applications to
eradicate the ink.
Mr.. Shull thought that these were

five cents worth of each and placing
the dissolved chemicals into two
bottle boxes sent several packages
around to each school. Several gal
Ions Of the ink eraser, practically

were made for ten cents, which by

.KINEMACOLOR is EIGHTH
WONDER OF The WORLD

The phrase, "the eighth wonder Of
the world" has been applied to b
variety of subjects that have appeal
ed to the imagination of the behold
ers ever since the hanging gardens
of Babylon were brought low and
Diana of the Ephesians ceased to be
called great The telegraph, the
phonograph and the flying machine
have all been SO denominated, and
each has held It's place for time,
until some new aspirant for the
honor has come forward. The writer
felt the other day that the time had
come when the latest claimant, the
flying machine, would have to dis
pute it's position with another new
arrival-namely, the instantaneous
photography of moving objects In
their natural colors by the Kinema-
color process.
Those are not the hand-colored
cinematograph pictures which We
have all seen, in which each Of the
separate photographs IS laboriously
colored by the brush Of deft work
er, process taking a week or ten
days at the least. Nor are they the
Lumiere color photographs on glass,
which astonished the world year or
two ago with the first real color
photography since the days Of Niepse
and Daguerre. The Lumiere process
required from sixty to hundred
times longer exposure than the ordi-
nary Photographic plate, and instan-
taneous work was out of the ques-
ton. And here IS process that
produces color-motion pictures in
one-half the time required for the
taking of the ordinary instantaneous
motion picture. The Lumlere pro-
cess was wonderful; the Kinema-
color process is marvellous and can
surely hold the title of "the eighth
wonder OF the world" against all
comers. Kinemacolor pictures will
be shown at Proctor's theatre next
week.
