Saws COnViCts Run the Prisons

Pougbkeepsie, N. Y.-That wonder
lful system in state prisons by which
prisoners manage to keep one another
posted on the news of the day despite
intervening bars, bolts, and corridors,
Us illustrated by an ex-convict's state
ment giving the up-todate news In
three New York prisons. The state
ment was made by James Ryan, alias
James Root, on his release from Clin-
ton prison, and is as follows:
During Blake's investigation Of the
prisons there were numerous fights
! and dangerous assaults on both con-
victs and officials. Since the appoint
ment of John B. Riley as prison super
intendent the prison discipline has
been destroyed and there is trouble
(here:
Ne Clinton county officials and
6nvicts from Clinton county have the
run Of Clinton prison. The officers
from Clinton county call the out-of-
town officers 'carpet-baggers, which
Is the cause of numerous fights be-
tween them.
"In the tin shop at Clinton prison,
during the latter part Of May, one
man named Rooney threw a five
pound weight in young mans face,
with the result that he is disfigured
for life.
N, "On another occasion, In the early
part of June, man named Smith-a
colored man-tried to kill an officer
named Won Gorder. In all the Clin-
ton shops the men are constantly
fighting and discipline is a joke.
II forgot to mention that Smiths the
negro who ran amuck at Clinton.
caught Won Gorder around the neck
and slashed him several times while
the officer was opening his cell in the
morning.
"At Sing Sing prison not long ago
the inmates in the knitting shop sent
word to Warden Kennedy that unless
he removed an officer named Hill they
would not work Warden Kennedy
yielded and put Hill on night duty.
1t is a common occurrence for the
prisoners to send word to Warden
Kennedy demanding the removal and
shifting Of officers.
I'm Auburn prison there have al
ready been three strikes among the
prisoners In the weaving mills.
"a man named Driscoll had some
trouble with keeper in Clinton pris-
on. and as the warden and deputy
were away at the time the Clinton
county officers pulled him into the
guardroom. l have the names of the
officers who did the beating Driscoll
tried to complain to the superintend-
ent about 1t, but was not permitted to.

prisoner threw a bowl OF soup In War

The Saginaw Ducks" have recently
completely recovered from their lame
ness, in that they have acquired one of
Clos star ball players in the person of

FOUR SOUTHPAW
RECORDS FOR 1912

Some have been uncOuth enough to say
that sOuthpaws are no longer looked for
by the clubs of the major leagues. But
there are four side wheelers operating in
the American League who can hold
their own with any set of hurlers in the
country. They arc Ed Plank, Ray Collins,
Vean Gregg and Earl Hamilton. (.
Any big league manager who had this
quartet of left-handers with good
right-hander would almost be sure to win
the pennant if ne had any kind of team
back of them. During the past season
these four made great records. Only one
of them-HamiltOn, who labored for the
tail-end Browns-fell below the 800 mark.
All in all. the quartet won Seventy-One
and lost only forty-one games last year.
This is an average of .6S4 and accounts
for H. games. There are only 154 games
in the season, and, with these four men
taking care of 112 games it would leave
the manager with only forty-two games
to be accounted for. This could easily be
done by one good right-hander and one
who is not good, but good enough to
win half his games.
OF this quartet only one can really be

come.
Play Waiting Game.
The majority of managers have pre-
ferred to sit back and trust to luck that
each season might find a young pitcher
of extraordinary ability forcing his way
through the minor leagues. Then they
have been compelled to bid against many
! other clubs in the same predicament foI
such services. This is expensive and a;
the same time is not the most satisfac-
tory way of strengthening their pitching
departments.
Connie Mack of the Athletics wants
pitchers. Jennings could use a few in De
troit. Callahan would not decline any in
Chicago. Griffith has some and is about
the best fixed with the exception of the
Red Sox of any club in the American
League. StOvall would gladly welcome
the advent of string in ST. Louis Biz
mingham, in Cleveland, would not be
loath to acquire at least two. And what
Chance would do for three can be eX-
planned only by employing the limit of
an exhaustive imagination.
The same condition obtains in the Ma
tional League. Four new managers are
on the job. Evers wants some in Chicago.
higgins would meet any promising pitch
ers with a brass band at the station in st.
Louis. Stallings has intimated that if he
can find one or two fingers he will &C
complish things with the Boston team.
and Tinker in Cincinnati. feels sure that
he would sidetrack the animosity of the
rabid fans of that hard to- please COM
munity with d hurler two in addition
to those he now has. Clark, Doom and
Dahlen, respectively directing the affairs
of the Pirates the Philfes and the DOdg-
ers, are on the lookout

BY J. ED GRILLO.

Ty Cobb says he is not Il hold-out. that
no one but he and President Navin know
the figures he has asked, and that he is
confident there will be an amicable set
Element of the difference which exists.
Cobb also denied that he is party 10
any clique which has for object the
increasing of salaries of its members.
There is nothing defiant about Cobb.s
attitude, if his statement is to be be-
lieved. and under such conditions it is
more than likely that the club will eX-
perience but little trouble in coming to
terms with him. 1t stands to reason that
it would be a severe blow to the Detroit
club should it go through the season
without Cobbs services. His ability is
fully appreciated by his club, and no
doubt when the showdown comes the
club will be willing to make as many
concessions as Cobb. Cobb evidently does
not insist on hfteen-thousand-do lar
salary or a three-year contract. He seems
to want an increase over what he has
been drawing, but is not insistent on it
being the figure which has been generally
accepted as his demand. Once Cobb gets
in line there will not be much trouble
bringing Crawford Stanase or Dubuc to
the realization that they will stand in
their own light by refusing to come into
the fold.
Cleveland will have a smaller squad in
it's training camp than any other of the
American League teams. Manager Biz
mingham will take twenty-eight PLAYERS
south. which is seven or eight less than
any club Will carry. The Maps are viz
tually standing pat on the material they
finished with last fall. There have, of
course been some additions, but there is
not the overflow OF young blood with
which other teams are experimenting.
This probably because the team did a
whole lot of experimenting last fall.
From the time that Davis turned the
management over youngsters We're
brought into the team and looked over
and several of these are sure to continue
on the team.
Last season George Stovall played in
few games after he took the manage
