There is not much time left. So it
is safest to sit down now and WRITE
YOUR STORY.
Think of the possibilities. For less
than half-hours work you can have
free tickets to all the remaining ball
games. The ticket books will be dis
tributed before the team returns from
its Nashville trip and the winners
will have free admissions from April
% until the seasons end.
a careful study of the stories al
ready submitted demonstrates that,
although some excellent ones have
been turned in, there is still a chance
for all. None of the stories turned
in yet are so superlatively good that
any ordinary writer or any enthusi-
astic fan could not beat them. And
as there are nine prizes everyone who
can write even a half-deCent story
has a chance.
But get yours in NOW. You will
be sore at yourself If you put 1t off
until too late and then find to your
regret that the prize winning stories
were vastly worse than you could
have done.

1915 CANES On
COAST TRIALS
FOR OLYMPICS
By Thomas j. Halpin.
(Quarter Mile Champion Of the Un-
tied States and Canada.)

JAMES e. Sullivan, who is the
biggest" man in the Amateur
y Athletic Union. is making great
progress in San Francisco for the
Worlds Fair athletic meet. Accord
ing to the latest reports from that
city, Sullivan is planning to use the
games as the official tryouts for the
Berlin Olympic meet.
While Mr.. Sullivan no doubt is
well aware of the difficulties i'm choos-
ing an all-American team to meet
the rest of the world in athletic COM
petition, ii would be unfair to make
the games that will be held in con-
nection with the San Francisco Ex-
position, which will be a year before
the Berlin meet, the basis for select
ing a team to represent this country
in Berlin.
If the winners of the events at
the fair were to be chosen TO repre-
sent this country in the worlds
championship track meet, there would
be a great deal OF discussion over
the selection list.
Tryouts Held In 3 Cities.
At the last Olympic games held in
Sweden. the athletes we're chosen
from the winners of the three official
tryouts held in Boston, Chicago and
San Francisco, and yet there was
considerable dissatisfaction expressed
as the result. In a recent interview
in San Francisco Sullivan said:
When l was here four years ago.
I was impressed by the magnificent
facilities in the hig park for holding
the world events, and | hope it can
be done in 1915.
AS music, manufactures, agricul-
ture and art all will be on display.
perfect man should be shown, too
II is my hope that the pick and flow
er Of manhood will be here to par
ticipate and too look on. The union
is back OF this meet, and If we can
get the cooperation we want IL will
be the biggest series of athletic
events in the history of outdoor
sports.
Conditions Are Favorable.
One thing that appeals to me is
that the tryouts for the Berlin 1915
championships will all be available
for US. and this alone will bring hun
dreds Of athletes here. Track and
field contests can be run off here
better Than anywhere, from early
spring until late winter"
Franz Marceau, the great Dart
mouth miller, is in town over the
spring vacation. Franz is very en-
thusiastic over Roses showing in the
quarter mile event. He thinks that
Rose will be strong point winner
for the green during the coming sea-
son.

Football Game Gets Finn a Star
d q 9 @ o 9 9
Mobile Lands Davy Robertson

this spring he was sent to Marlin
early
For a time it seemed that me boys
shoulder had improved, cad that he
would again be able 20 pitch. but
when Wilbert Robinson, the catcher
coach. took him IL hand and began
working him as a pitcher the injury
again manifested itself so strongly
that Robertson was quickly shunted
back to first base and went out with
the second team playing that position.
Big Salary For Younsstsr.
When he was first signed by the
Giants his services were so greatly in
demand that II is believed he got a
big salary for a youngster. With
Rube Marquard a hold -out this spring
II was a wonderful opportunity for
the boy as a pitcher, but the last
game Of football apparently did for
him as 4 big league HEAVIER.
Robertson Is a very bright young
fellow, and he has made a close study
Of his own case. He believes that he
can repair the damage by having his
shoulder re-broken. Meantime. how
ever. he will take a course I'm first
basing from Mike Finn, as il seems
that Mikes young marvel, Eugene
Pauret, whom he sent to McGraw
year or so ago of the corner lots Of
Little Rock, only to receive him back,
has blown up.
Il is not unlikely that McGraw has
a string on young Robertson, and II
is not unlikely that the boy will
prove a wonderful first baseman, but
that one game Of football was GER
tainly costly affair TO him.
T was with genuine regret that
those who know big Bill Jacobson
heard OF his relegation to the minor
leagues, although Jake himself was
not at all downCast over being re-
turned to Mobile. where he played
last season. There are a whole lot
Of worse ball players than Baby
Dolr' holding down regular jobs on
major league teams. Stallings want
ed him. and refused to waive for
long time, and there Is reason to be-
lieve that McGraw wanted to plant
the long Scandinavian where he can
again lay hands on him. Under Finn
Jake developed into a slashing out
fielder last year, but early this spring
he had the misfortune TO hurt his
knee AMI was unable to do much.
He Is far and away the most popu-
lar youngster thai has accompanied
Allt AuldhAH DuuAiA III many a AfhN AAS
takes the business OF baseball very
seriously. and Is so determined to
learn that he made a strong impress
sion on McGraw, and IL is probably
only the fact that the Giant manager
Is already overstocked with Outfield-
ers Of greater experience that prompt
cd him 20 send big Bill back.
T HERE is a belief that Stallings'
! withdrawal ~ waivers on Jacob
son means that McGraw and the Bos-
ton leader are arranging some sort
OF a deal involving players. Stall
lings has little to trade outside of
one or two pitchers. and McGraw
seems TO be always willing to take
on hurlers. II is said he would like
to have George Tyler or Hub Per
due. but then that might be said of
any other manager in the National
League.

NJ Jew YORK, April l5.-In a way
" It was a broken promise that
put Davy Robertson out Of the
big league-a promise broken before,
and not after he came 10 the New
York Giants. heralded as a phenome-
nal left-handed pitcher.
II is said that he agreed in writing
not to play another game Of foot

father is said to have signed the con-
tract with him. II was agreed that
Davy should finish his college course.
and report 10 the Giants in mid
season. McGraw knew that the boy
had big reputation as a college
football player. and II is said that
the contract specified that Davy
should not engage in another grid
iron grapple, the Giant chief fear
ing that he might be injured. Young
Robertson very Cheerfully subscribed
TO this clause.
Demand on Gridiron.
Then there came on big class

ices were demanded. He played In

injury would prove serious. but as
time went on and Robertson still
complained McGraw became some

DaVv Is a physical wonder. with
the ideal build for a pitcher. He
handled himself like a natural born
ball player; he was wonderfully fast,
and could hit the bail. SO McGraw
began giving him a little work around
first base and in the outheld. There
was always in the managers mind,
however. the hope that Davy's pitch

the boy all last year: he got a small
