SPORTING CLUB TO

Weekly Matches Planned by Or

DIAMOND DOPE

Manager Frank Chance, of the
Yankees, expects King Cole to be one
of his leading pitchers next year. Cole
was with the Cubs when Chance was
leader of the Bruins and did great work
for one year, but then started on the
downgrade. A good season, though in
the American Association, has put him
back in good shape, the Yankee leader
thinks. He will be given a good trial
when the campaign is opened.

made arrangements for the club of
Charley DOOM to do its preliminary
mington, \. c. The advance guard will

Elmer Lobert, the star outfielder for

claims that he will not report to Joe
BirminSham's team. He does not give
any reason. Maybe he is afraid of the
big arena.

who was with the Cubs at the close of
the 1912 campaign. is playing basket ball
with the st. Elizabeth team in Philadel-

During the 1913 campaign only one
