HE

That Bescher has the art Of base
stealing down to a fine point is shown
by his record of last year. Only ten
times durSszzs the entire season did he
fail in an attempted steal AS he pill
fered sixty seven sacks his base run
ming average, calculated in the new
way, would be .87O-hgures much
higher than those made by Clyde
Milan Of Washington, the American
leagues champion base runner.
Thrice ,ast year Reseher stole three
bases in games, the backstops he VIC
timized being Miller, Myers and Kelly.
The Red robber scattered his sixty
seven steals through ffty-two games,
making one steal in each Of forty con-
tests, two in nine and three in three.
The catchers whom Bescher found
the easiest to steal bases on were those
employed by st. Louis, while the back
stops whom he found it most difficult
to victimize were New York's.

Cincinnati, Feb. 22.-Bobby Bescher
outfielder of the Reds, nurses one
great ambition, to-wit: He wants to
break the base stealing record in the
National league.
Ever since he stole bases in 80 games
IL the season Of 1908, Bescher has
proved a trouble maker for catchers
by stealing bases. In this respect he
has proved a regular highway robber
and for four years now has led the
league in base stealing. If he leads
again this year he viii break all prece-
dents, for never in the National organ
ization has a single player ed the
league in base stealing for five sue
cessive seasons.
Ever since he stole ?? bases 81 80
games during his first season with
Cincinnati fans have wondered at hfs
speed. He weighs close to two hum
dred pounds, but apparently his
weight is not burden to him.

TIGERS LEAVE DETROIT
FOR GULFPoRT, MISS,
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Detroit. Mich, Feb. 22.-Manager
Hugh Jennings, Of the Detroit Ameri-
can league baseball club, left here to-
day with the first squad of players for
the spring training camp at Gulfport,
Miss.
Pitchers Mullin and Lake and Short
stop Bush were the veterans accom-
panying the squad today. Jennings
predicted that Cutfielders Cobb and
Crawford and Pitcher DUbuc would be
in the fold by March l. He declared
the club would make no further over
lures to Catcher Stanage and that
Stanage can either accept. President
Navtn's terms, or remain out of organ
ICED baseball.

Winter. Crawford is holding out for
a raise $1,000 this year.
Connie Mack says he believes the
Tigers will finish second the coming
season. The tall Athletic leader
seems to have more faith in Detroit
men than Hughie Jennings himself has.
Davy Altizer Of the Minneapolis
team is considering retiring from the
game, but he says it would be quite
easy to make him wait another year by
tacking $3.50 to his contract for 1913.
Jimmy Sheckard of the Cubs is con-
sidered to be one of the best batters
in the National league by Nap Ruck-
er, the Brooklyn star southpaw. His
resourcefulness in getting on bases
keeps Nap guessing.
Connie Mack is rather incensed that
Clark Griffith is boosting his Wash
fngton team so much. When asked
recently what chance the Athletics
had to win the coming season he re-
ferred the inquirer to Griff as being
the one man who could place the teams
correctly in the coming race.
The feeling between the New York
and Brooklyn clubs has not been made
pIeasanter by the attempt OF Nam
ager McGraw to stop the Dodgers
opening their new grounds a day
ahead of the regular schedule.

SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.
Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 22.-The Ten
nessee supreme court today held the
law prohibiting the playing of Sunday
baseball invalid owing to irregulari- :
ties in its passage.
Sunday baseball in Nashville has
been live issue for the past two sea-
sons. In 1911 numerous arrests were
made when games were attempted.
The past season the Nashville club was
thrown into the hands of a receiver
on the ground that 1t had forfeited its
charter by violating the states Sun
day baseball law enacted in 1885. It
was the chancellor's decree In this
case which the supreme court revers-
ed today owing to the invalidity of the
Sunday baseball statute.
Leaders OF the Mems Christian I'm
ion announce that they will go to
work at once to have the present leg
islature re-enact the law.

There is joy among New York High
lander fans. Ed Sweeney, star catcher
of the team, has signed for 1913, and
thinks he'll be in the best condition.
His lack of condition early last season
handicapped the Highlanders.
Sweeney caught 10 games in 1912
and threw out more bast runners than
any other catcher in the American
league. He has written Manager
Chance that he is anxious to catch in
every game and expects to hit over
800, as last year ne boosted his aver
age over 40 points above what it had
been in 1911.

CLEVELAND TEAMS ADVANCE

AND EVERY FAN Is ~IN THH
AIR"

Pensacola will today become host ts
the Cleveland baseball club Of thu
American league. That famous aggre-
cation of diamond miners will own the
city for the next eighteen days, or
more, and all in the way of getting
spring practice will have a live time
getting the winter kinks out of their
muscles and tramping down the pretty
green grass on the Maxent field
The battery men, pitchers and
catchers, will arrive this afternoon on
the 4:10 train from Flomaton. They
Will be met by a committee of promi-
nent fans and towed in the royal Jug
gernauts to the San Carlos, where, It
is rumored, they will be allowed TO
eat anything they want the first night.
Monday morning, at a. m, they go
on special diet. The first course viii
be that of jumping into their baseball
togs, the second will be breakfast, the
third a run to the baseball park, the
fourth a little chase around the
diamond and the fifth a half-hour at
kicking around a football. Then, back
to the plush and the marbled Railways,
neither of which will be seen by the
balltossers: it's a shower bath and a
bathrobe for theirs.
Then, when afternoon comes, they
will have the preference of a light
lunch, some delicatessens or bit TO
eat. Then another run to the ball
park, a run around the bases, some
more association football, and a bit OF
medicine ball, vulgarly referred to by
the ball players as dope" ball.
At the conclusion of those physique-
developers Manager Joe Birmingham
viii take a baseball out Of his little
aIligator-sl skin hand satchel and throw
| 1t out upon the diamond. After
scramble lasting two or three minutes
some player will hold the ball long
enough to count ten and the practice
will be on.
It's a regular picnic; very regular.
INTEREST HIGH.
Interest among the Pensacola fol-
lowers OF the sport is high and there
will be a goodly crowd cut every
morning and evening possible.
While the fun will not begin in real
earnest until the Toledo team of the
American association and the remain
der of the Cleveland men are here,
there will be plenty Of varied sport at
the baseball grounds from tomorrow
on.
It will not be all work for the ball
players, either Plans are already
formed by fans in this city to make
the visit of the players an enjoyable
one and the athletic diet will be pune
tuated at least several times and may
be more.
