ball club. That is, he hasn't been for
long. He has converted any number
of jokes into real classy aggregations.
In twenty years he has never finished
worse than fifth in any company. and
has had the satisfaction of winning a
great many minor league pennants.
Everyone is willing to concede that the
Big Chief is a minor league marvel.
They win not go so far when a ques-
ton of big league class hobs up.
The only way to judge a man is by
his record. Let Stallings' speak for it.
self. Stallings took hold of the New
York Americans in the spring of 1909.
The previous year, under the direc-
ton of Clark Griffith and Kid EIber-
field, a sorry mess indeed had been
made. Guff, broken hearted, threw M
the sponge in midseason. The team
started out like worlds champion.
stumbled, collapsed and finished the
most horribly outdistanced last ever
seen in the American league. 1t was
far more discouraging season than
the Wolverton regime of sad memory
for some of Harrys woes may be laid
to the most prosecuting train of hard
luck known to the game
Wen, Stallings took hold of that fer
ribIe wreck in 1905. Frank Farrell had
absolutely no outside resources He
mad just one claim in the minor league
an option to pick from the Atlanta
team, That option brought Russell
Ford to the Hilltop. BY dint of schem-
ing and hard work, Stanings gathered
together, little by little, some sort of
halfway decent representatives. Cree.

added Immediately. Though the team
was harassed by the unfortunate at

year that Stallings was barely nosed
out of the first division. He finished a

good fifth.
The next year, Fisher, Caldwell. VOL
ter and Daniels We're shared. Again
the Stallings aggregation was buffet
ed about by sickness and injury. and
though the Big Chief was dropped
like hot coal three weeks before the
end of the season, the team finished a
bang-up second, right in the hunt till
the last three weeks. That is the first
year the Athletics made a show of the
field.
Stallings, almost broken hearted,
went back to the minors for the sec
ond time from the American league.
Ban johnson willed it; Ban is absolute
in his batliwick. once before he had
put the bee upon the Georgia planter.
That was some ten years ago after
Stallings had taken the cratic Tigers.
of Detroit, to second place in a whip
ping drive. Ban believed or imagined
that George was trying to sell out the
American league. He never forgaye
him; if he has no one has learned of
it.
johnson Ran Him Out.
They do say that Ban johnson forced
Farrell to get rid of Stallings. Frank
signed the big Chief to two-year
contract without consulting the car.
He didn't know that Stallings stood so
badly in the graces of the big poo
bah"
So Stallings has taken two strikes
as major manager. He's back there
again at the plate with a new bat,
new umpire and against a new kind of
pitching. Tom Lynch, the king of
umpires,' admires the ability of Stall
ings. George will get none the worst
of the decisions. If he whiffs it will
be his own fault. He will have lots
of opportunity to foul off a lot anyhow.
for he has five years contract, if CON
tracts are any good in the National
league. For reference in that line CON
suit r. Bresnahan late of st. Louis.

OS ANGELES, Jan. 6.-To the
victor belongs the hurrahs.
1t was a sight for the gods
to see Luther McCarty, the newly
crowned heavyweight champion of
the world, standing up in his auto
mobile outside Promoter McCareys
town office and bowling with all the
gravity he could command to the
plaudits of a crowd that stood ten
deep around his car.
When it comes to looking grave
or dignified, however Luther is a
rank failure. He likes the adulation
of the multitude too well to be
able to conceal 1t. His face was
Wreathed in a smile of delight as he
bowed north, east, south and west
to the cheering throng.
All this time Billy Mccartney.
the white champions manager. was
inside the office discussing the pos
sibilities of the future in the
matchmaking line with McCarey.
Here is what Mccartney had to say
when he left the august presence:
Il expect his next match will be
with Bombardier Wells for the
championship of the world. We will
give Tom McCarey the preference
if he can secure Wells services.
McCarey has been especially good
to US, and we want to show our
appreciation. If the Wells McCar-
ty match is arranged for July 4.
McCarty will be back here before
very long He wants to put in the
spring and summer near Los An
geles, and it would suit him nicely
to have the July date with Wells to
look forward to-"
FaVors Match With Wells
rMcCarey thinks well of the
Wells McCarty proposition He did
not appear too enthusiastic about
it, as it is rule with fight pro-
motors not to become historical
over an attraction while one of the
fighters is still footloose. 1t is very
likely, however, that McCarey will
place himself in communication
with Wells at the earliest oppor-
tunity.
1T would be a match that would
be of worldwide interest, of
course said McCarey ION account
Of its International significance.
Personally, l would like to see it
come to a head. I recognize that
boxing had its origin in England
and that the English have improved
upon the game and kept it clean
and wholesome. For that reason. in
my opinion, whenever a good man
develops in England he should be
made welcome among US and given
chance to show how he COM
pares with American fighters.
But in the meantime there is no
reason for the heavyweights to re-
main idle McCarty will be away
on theatrical tour and it viii take
Wells some time to get here. In
the months that intervene between
now and July the other heavies
should fight it out among them
selves l think that Palzer. who
has shown himself such game
fellow and such a fair fighter.
should be given every chance to
come to the front. / would like to
see matches in which Palzer, Jeff

ers would figure And it would

"HEY'VE gone to arguing again
- over the proposition Re
solved, That it's harder TO hit
the BAH in the Southern league than

Glass IA leagues
Exhaustive (and likewise eX-
haustine) investigation of league
records brings to light some in
teresting facts. Three of them
worth remembering are:
I. That in the last nine years 7
per cent of the Southern league bat
tiers have hit 800 or better, per
cent of the batters in the American.
National and Chem Eastern, and
10 per cent of the batters in the
American association.
2. That in 1911 an average of IA
men batted 800 or over in leagues
of the South; that an average Of
te batted 800 or better in leagues
of other sections.
3. That if the players sent from
the Southern to the big leagues, who

would be .2so and his batting av-

CIVILIANCLOTHE5 FOR CLASSA
ENLISTED NFUNSTON'S 5 Plan
Department Commender Recommends That Soldiers with
Special Privilege Cards Be Allowed to Discard the Uni
form on Occasions

Enlisted men of the army stationed
on Oahu who have qualified as Class
A, under the new plan of separating
the ..sheep from the goats, inaugural
ed by General Funston, will likely
have the privilege of wearing civilian
clothes when in the city. This ap-
plies only to privates and non. com
missioned officers of the department,
who carry special privilege" cards.
The commissioned officers will con-
tinne 10 wear the uniform at all times.
Glass A men are those who have
shown by their behavior on and off
duty that they are worthy of the trust
that the special privileges grarted inn
plies. They are excused from retreat
and check roll call, and are al liberty
to come to Honolulu at any time with
out pass, the card that they carry be-
ing their authorization at all times.
General Funston believes that these
men should be accorded the privilege
of wearing civilian clothes when on
pass. and he has sent communica-
tion to the war department, recon-
mending that the existing regulation
be changed so as to permit certain
men in the Hawaiian department to
discard the uniform when on pleasure

That securing a divorce would be
q shorter route to his impending Sec
|ond marriage than going through the
lengthy process of proving that his
wife disappeared from his home IL
years ago and that he has not seen
her since, is the belief of G.. G. Bit
ting, assistant United States district
attorney, in the case of Komoda, a
Japanese, who holds that, since his
wife disappeared in 1902, and that he
has every reason to believe that she
is dead, he is legally divorced from
her and free to marry the picture
BRIDE who arrived in Honolulu some
time ago.
The case was referred to Biting
for his advice by Federal Immigra-
ton Inspector Halsey and Attorney
Joseph Lightfoot, who is representing
the Japanese. The picture bride,
upon her arrival in Honolulu, was de-
tanned at the immigration station as
is the custom, but was later released
on parole, and 1t is said that she has
secured employment az Wahiawa,
When Komoda appeared at the immi-
grafton station to claim his bride, it
was found that he had wife living
in Honolulu in 1902, and in Septem-
ber of that year she disappeared. A
systematic search on the part of the
husband failed to reveal her identity,
and nothing has been heard of her
since When these facts we're learned
by Inspector Halsey, he refused to
permit the marriage on the ground
that the japanese was not legally di-
yorced through his wife's absence.
He recommended to the Japanese
that he secure divorce in the usual
manner Biting upholds that the
Japanese is not legally divorced and
says thai he would better get di-
yorce than go through the tedious
process of going into court and prov
ing the facts surrounding the disap-
pearance of his wife, Biting fur
ther said that thus far the Japanese
has made no showing towards this
other contention further than his
statement concerning the case to his
attorney, and this is not deemed suf-
ficient.
