WOULD CHALK UP
130OTH VICTORY
Fred Clark Has Chance to Reach
Coveted Mark This Season

Thirteen hundred victories II is the
ambition of Fred Clarke To land this
season enough games in the won col
umn To bring his total since assum-
Ing the managerial rcins of the Pitts
burg club thirteen years ago up to
this mark
In those thirteen years he has won
ll0l games. and with anything like a
good season he should be able to add
nincty-ninc more games to his record.
OF course he's not anxious to stop
on the even hundred mark, but he
would like 70 realize this.
Such record has never been APP
preached In fact, there are fcw. if
any leaders on record who have held
the rcing as a manager for that length
Of time
In the thirteen years that Clarke has
been At the helm he has recorded t20l
victories ana - defeats. giving him
percentage of .G21. other managers,
such as MCGraw of New York and
Chance, now or New York Highland
ers, have better averages. but they
arc for greatly reduced periods.
Chance has q record of having won
two out of every three games, per
ccntagc Of G67-that is. IA games
$50 lost His record was made in
seven years
McGraw in ten years has won 95j
games and lost 500. an average of .63".
Not only would Clarke like To round
out an even 1900 victories. but he
would also like To annex another Ma
tlonal league pcnant and world <
championship
IN the years he has been manager
he led the team To the highest honors
IN the National league four times.
-Four times he finished second aud
once he tied for second honors.
Ihrcc times he finished third and
Only once fourth. He captaincd and
managed the team in two worlds
championship events dropping one to
Boston in 1909 and annexing one from
Detroit IN 1909

Scorers to Do So.

New York, April t.--B. r. Johnson,
president of the American league. has
issued instructions Ia his official scor-
ers to charge pitchers with earned
runs
For many years before this method
of keeping track Of pitchers effect
iveness was dropped treason UNI

an earned run against a boXma;l
whenever a batsman. making "A safe
hit, got around To the plate through
the medium of stolen bases sacrifice
hits or safe drives.
According to President Johnson's
order the new earned run" must be
charged against the pitcher every
time player completes the circui.
by the aid of base hits. sacrifice hits,
stolen bases. bases on balls, hit bats
men. wild pitches or balks, before
chances to retire the opposing team
have been offered and missed.

DETROIT TEAM
BOLSTERED UP
Tigers Will Be Much Better This
Year Than In Year 1912

The Detroit baseball club of 1913 is
bound to be much stronger than the
club which represented Detroit in 1912.
Any number of reasons can be given
for this belief and, summarized, they
are:
The players, individually and coll
iectively, arc in much better condition
now than were the players at the be-
ginning of last season.
The best players of the 1872 team
have been retained; the new players
are superior to the ones who were let
cut.
"rhe pitching staff will be stronger
10y more than 80 per cent.
The catching staff stands much
higher than the catching stan of 1912
The iniielders are in better condi-
ton.
Del Gamer. unless further injuries
heset him. will be back, as he was in
1911.
The outiield has been strengthened
over last year"
There, You see, is a team stronger
in every department.
Mulin today weighs rs pounds,
against approximately 1875 pounds last
spring. Dubuc has years experience
with him and his arm has recovered
from its 1912 soreness. Willett is in
good condition. and Joe Lake declares
lie is in better shape now than he has
been for years. Klawittcr, Hall, Dauss,
Boehler and the other pitching pros
poets are PROFESSIONALLY better twirl-
crs than the youngsters twith the eN-
ception of Dubuc) who were with the
club last spring.
Wit was a star with the team in the
early weeks of last year, yet little OS-
car stands good chance of being
beaten out of his job by Charlie Deal.
| Deal is hitter of "a pronounced type,
ana Is also a wonderful iniiclder. Bill
Louden will do better with his hitting
this year. while Harry Shanlcy prom
Uses to break into the shining class
before many months,
Davy Jones has gone from the out
field but Bobby Neach, Ray Powell
and Hugh High have come. Either
one of the three is as fast as Jones.
not one has Jones disposition. Ncach
ia better hitter than Davy, while
either Powell or High is Days su-
pcrior on the base paths. without
question Davy Jones was one of the
most valuable players ever on De-
truit team, but Davy was older by far
| i'm years than either of the new out =
felders. Naturally, then, the younger
man Is preferable.
StanagC will be the same Stanagc of
pennant years. Rondeau stands on an
cuual footing with almost any catcher
in the American league, and the
t'rcnchman promises to develop into q
sincere rival to oscar Stanage for the
| position of first string catcher on the
Detroit team. Gibson or Mckee. either
of them, is the superior of either oil
the young catchers who were with De-
troit last season. Each il good
thrower and a good hitter but Glib
son Is a much faster man OH his feet
| Gibson weighs about 1876 pounds, and
he will give almost any man on tho
team race for sprinting honors.
There's the team.
And YOU cant blame Hugh Jennings
for permitting his enthusiasm to mas
ter him at times.

dead yet in the mine undoubtedly were
sufYocated Some OF the rescue par
ties declared 1t their belief that party
OF the entombed miners had reached a
room and had sealed 1t in time to keep
the gas from overcoming them. The
work of rescue will continue unabated
until all Of the bodies yet within the
mine shall have BEEN recovered.
The interior Of the mine presents a
most gruesome spectacle.
The rescuers, ae they proceeded,
stopped only to determine that the men
they found were dead, lay them aside
and make note Of the entry at which
they were found. For hundreds Of feet
into the mine lay the dead bodies
awaiting the arrival Of rescuers who
are not forced to use oxygen helmets
and to whom time is not SO precious.
Two hours is the limit Of time a res
cue shift is permitted to remain within
the mine, and as happens occasionally.
when they have overstayed that time
allotment, another shift. Is sent to find
what has happened to them. Men con-
Quoting the rescue work are in constant
fear that harm will befall the men who
are risking their lives to save any man
who yet lives within the mine. Most
jealously Mr.. Roberts and his assist
ants guard their helmet men, who are
none too many. When q man emerges
from the black cavern Of death and
doffs his helmet, II hte face has become
a bit pasty, or II hfk hand is trifie
shaky he is hurried away to the emer-
gency hospital for heroic treatment,
and after an hour, isspermitted to Join
the crew again.
