Windy City. Ford had become discour-
aged before Sweeney put in an appear
ance. When he did get his old mate
standby the club had fallen into the
ruck and there was no incentive TO take
liberties with the good old whip. The
KiIties were out OF the race.
Mr.. Ford was guilty of another very
foolish move. Just about the time ne
began to round into some sort of form
he took unto himself wife. That Is
generally considered rather bad form for
any athletic. And for this very reason
Mr.. Ford is more than likely to pluck
himself out OF the diamond morgue the
coming season and get back into his old
time stride-one of the very top-notchsrs.
There Is no reason why Ford should
not shine for many years as one of the
brightest stars or the mound. He has
youth, strength and skill at his command
He Is the only pitcher living who can
break the ''spitball'' either to right OF
to the left at will and call the turn
so that his catcher is waiting for the
proper slant. He has terrific speed and
a hop on his fast ball that Is the equal

Novel English Races.

Many novel and interesting races are
Introduced to the sport-loving public of
the world every year, but perhaps the
unique one was that originated last year
and tried out at Nunhead, England, a
short time ago. 1t is called the half
bushel handicap.
\ dozen half-bushel baskets are placed
on top of each other and the competitors
carry them on their heads. The distance
which the men have to travel with the
baskets varies. Viewing the competitors
coming towards the finish line, one would
imagine that a number of leaning towers
from Pisa had suddenly become stirred
into action.
The baskets make a heavy load on the
head and il requires considerable ability
to keep them balanced while walking the
course. Once the pile tumbles to the
ground, the competitor has no chance of
a prize. as 1t takes too much time and
trouble to get the dozen baskets piled
up again for another start.

ME Mack's Athletics. worlds champions
o. 1911, will on that day invade Boston
and clash with i'm McAleer's Red SoX

The American League schedule has
been drafted, but the dates have not as
yet been made public, nor will they
be until the list has been ratified and
adopted at the annual joint schedule
meeting of the major leagues, to be
held in New York next month.
One year ago the Nationals opened in
Philadelphia and Boston played the
Highlanders in New York.
No club in the American League will

Good One on Morley.

Morley was one of the most ambitious
players on the Knoxville club last sum-
mer. Like Ty Cobb. his ambition was
to reach the major leagues as early as
pc ssible and he never let an opportunity
get by to advance his cause. He tried to
play more brilliantly each succeeding
day, but, like all ball players, he had his
of days.
When the major league scouts began to
swop down upon the Appalachian League
last season Morley decided that IL would
be best for all concerned TO imagine that
a scout was in the grand stand every day
and play ball accordingly. However. that
very day that Morley exhibited his worst
form, making several errors and strik-
ing out two or three times most in
gloriously, Scout Gilkes, of the Cleveland
Americans, was witness TO the per-
formance.
Next day Morley was told that Scout
GiIkes had seen his action the day pre-
vious, and Morley became alarmed i'm
mediately. Not knowing the scout at
sight. Morley walked up to a bunch Of
baseball enthusiasts after he had been
told that the scout had seen him perform
tine day before, and also unaware that
Bobby Gilkes was one of the bunch, Nor
ley approached the Knoxville shortstop
and said:
Always my luck When i play my
worst ball some scout must be present
to see il. I'll make up for 1t this after
noon"
Don't worry. young man. A good play
er does not play good ball every day."
replied Gilkes.
Morley said nothing in reply. but when
the scout had left the group and gone to
his hotel. Morley said:
II don't know who that guy was, but
he talks good baseball"
That was Scout Bobby Gilkes. of the
Cleveland Americans" was the reply.
However. that same afternoon Morley
played the best game Of the season, and
suffice il to say Scout GIlkes Immediately
recommended him to the Cleveland team.
