THIRD BASE COACH VERY
IMPORTANT, SAYS TINKER
Man Who Watches Runner at Corner Of
Diamond as Valuable as Real
Player in Game.

Hoffman hadn't taken that chance at the
right time we might have wound up in a
tie or been beaten.
of course, some may suggest that We
might have won any way; that the next
batsman might have hit a home run II
the runner had been held at third. but
the only safe basis on which to figure
base ball dope is results. One can never
tell what might have happened, but al
ways knows what did happen and can
make plans for the future.
II believe a great deal Of the recent
success of the New York Giants is due TO
McGraws efficient coaching at third base.
The New York club might have won two
straight pennants without his advice. but

can And 1 usually succeed in drowning

No one doubts this latter statement, for
Roger certainly can make a noise when
he wants to. In this respect he is the
antithesis of John king. John usually
talks, but his remarks are pianissimo and
addressed to the batter or umpire. Bres-
nahan's voice can be heard all over the
lot. Although Tinker and Chance are
gone the Cubs will hardly be known as
a quiet bunch of athletes as long as they
have Evers, Bresnahan and Zimmerman.

Not in years has the weather been SO
unfavorable for base ball as this spring.
Though the season is not a week old the
losses suffered by majority of the clubs
because of their enforced idleness reaches
up into the thousands.
Incidentally interest in the sport is suf-
fering, at least temporarily, by reason OF
the lull in the playing of games. Weather
conditions have played havoc with the
local club this spring. It's first bad break
came when the exhibition game at Gin
cinnati on March 80 had to be called off
owing to the floods out there. That
game would have netted the local club
about $1,000, if not more, had fair
weather prevailed.
But one game, the opener. has been
played and three good days have already
been lost and it is no certainty that any
games scheduled here before the team
takes it's first trip will be played. OF
course. the postponed games will be
played later in the form of double-head-
ers, but every game that is postponed
proves loss to the club. not to speak of
the effect this doubling up of games may
have on the teams chance to finish well
up in the race.
That the st. Louis Browns added
another mighty clever pitcher to their
string when they secured Weilman, the
giant left-hander. is being proven by the
splendid work the youngster is doing.
Welman has won every game he has
pitched this spring and the chances are
that he will show a lot of Improvement
as he goes along. He is monster in
size. being six feet five and half inch
es in height and weighing around -
pounds. Wellman is the only one of the
Brown pitchers who is showing good
form this spring, but it is only a ques-
ton of time when Hamilton, Allison and
the others will get into form and Sto-
vail will then have about as clever a
pitching staff as any team in the league.
McGraw's Giants are not apt to get the
flying start in the race this spring that
they did last year. Boston and Brook
lyn, the two teams on which the Giants
have Toasted for several years, seem to
have been improved enough to give the
Giants real argument this spring. at
least. and this will do much to make the
old league race more interesting than 1t
has been heretofore. 1t is, of course,
not likely that either Boston or Brook
lyn will be able to be prominent in the
race during the entire season. but they
will do much to give some of the other
teams an even break with the Giants if

they can continue to show their present
form for the first month. or so.
The old hidden-ball trick has been put
under the ban by President Johnson of
the American League. Empires have
been instructed not to call base runners
out when they fall a victim to this an
tique play, because in the opinion of
Johnson it is not good craftsmanship.
One might be led to believe by this rul-
ing that the intellect of the ball players
is on the wane. for the rule protects those
who are not alert. 1t is but seldom that
the hidden-ball trick is worked in the
major leagues, and when it is it always
affords a lot of amusement for the spec
tators and chagrin for the player SO
trapped. What is more, the play is per-
fectly legitimate and cannot be turned
on player who is wide-awake nor
against team which puts live men on
the coaching lines.
Ty Cobb has banished himself from
base ball. His failure to report this
spring places him under the base ball ban,
and even if he should come to an agree
ment with his club 1t would be necessary
for the national commission to reinstate
him before he is eligible to play again.
There appears to be no change in the
breach which exists between the great
player and the Detroit club. Both have
made their ultimatum and it is not like
ly that either will make any further con-
cessions. The club is sure to stand pat
if the team can win an occasional game
and secure as good a position in the race
as it held last season, when it finished In
sixth place.
Though Cobb is an attraction, his indi-
vidual efforts, great as they were. failed
to pull the Tigers into the first division
last year. and it is this argument which
President Navin uses to back up his
stand against paying Cobb the enormous
salary he demands.
The Detroit club without Cobb is nat
urally weaker than 1t has ever BEEN and
while the club could probably afford to
pay him the $1,000 per season he asks,
it is matter of principle not to do So
according to Navin, who Is backed up by
the other clubs of the league.
Luck is not with the New York Amer
leans. Not only has Chances team lost
the two games it has played by a single
run, but Chase has joined Chance on the
hospital list as a result of being hit on
the arm by pitched ball. It is believed
that one of the bones in his arm is frac-
tured and that it will be some time be-
fore he will be able to resume his posi-
ton. This robs the team of two of it's
best players Last year Wolverton had
all sorts Of bad luck and, barring a few
games, never had his team intact. which
was really responsible for it finishing in
last place.
