TALES OF THE DIAMOND
Humorous and Otherwise.
BY Billy Evans.

Forest Cady is now rated as one OF the
best catchers in the majors. An injury
to Leslie Nunamaker, another member of
the Boston catching staff, made it pos
sible for Cady to attain his present prom
fnence in the base ball world. He had
the ability to take advantage Of the OPP
portunity.
Early in the season Bill Carrigan and
Nunamaker We're regarded as the two
regulars on the Boston catching staff,
with Cady and Thomas acting as bench
warmers. ready to jump in at the chance.
Nunamaker had Joined the Red Sox the
previous year. and had displayed enough
ability to win him a place alongside Bill
Carrigan as a regular. Both these re-
ceivers were going along SO nicely in the
early spring that it didn't look as If Cady
and Thomas would ever get a chance to
show.
Peculiarly enough, Cady and Nuna-
maker were roommates. Often during a
game in which Nunamaker was doing the
catching Cady would remind him to keep

INSISTS ABILITY COUNTS

NEW YORK. January 25.-After having
been postponed from time to time for the
last two or three months. the case of the
national base ball commission and the
New York base ball club against the Ma
tional Film Company and the Commercial
Film Company came up again yesterday.
in the Morrisania court, before Magis-
trate Butts.
The defendant companies are charged
with infringing on the rights of the Pathe
Brothers in that they bought the moving
picture privileges Of the world series.
The examination was taken up with the
testimony of John J. McGraw, manager
OF the Giants. At the conclusion Magis-
trate Butts held that McGraw had failed
to establish as a fact that the pictures he
claims to have seen exhibited were taken
and exhibited by the defendant COM
panies. The court therefore instructed
him to see the pictures in question and
De prepared to testify this morning.
During the cross-examination of Nc
Graw he was led to express his views on
newspapers. publicity. popularity and
ability: He said that ability was the
only thing that counted and won lasting
popularity. and that he never cared any
thing about publicity. and did not pay
much attention to what the newspapers
said about him unless they roasted
him. In that case. he said, he looked into
the matter and found out whether the
'roasts" were justified or not
These expressions Of opinion were start
ed by the attorney for the defense asking
him If he did not pose for pictures on the
base ball field, to which the witness re-
piled:
Yes. I do; but only under protest. I'm
too busy to stop and pose. but I do 1t
sometimes. because taking pictures is the
way the boys make their living, and like
to help them out
Mr.. Lever then asked:
But do not you get some compensation
for posing In the publicity obtained for
you by printing these pictures in the
newspapers and the popularity that comes
from that"
No: don't get any compensation that
publicity or popularity
You don't think, then. that having
your pictures printed in the papers does
you any gOOd?'
Il don't pay much attention to the
them as thoroughly as you do. 1 am out
on the field to do my work. and do it.
| do not allow the papers to tell me how
1 should do it,
Don't you base your popularity on that
very tact?''
That the press makes It: No, 1 do
not
At this point Magistrate Butts asked:
Do you take IL INTO cOnSl0eratlOn When
YOU get what may be called 'rOasts' from
the press?
Yes. consider plenty Of them
Mr.. Lever then resumed the cross-ex-
animation.
You don't believe. then. that publicity
helps to make you POPULAR"
My ability to turn out a good team
makes me popular
After a few more questions McGraw
was excused. but. before leaving the wit
ness stand he turned to Magistrate Butts
and said:
He's not going to make me admit that

LANGAN OR WALSH
LIKELY TO GET lob
Seems Certain That One of
These Two Will Be Athletic
Director at Georgetown.

From present indications the next grad
uate manager at Georgetown will be
either Jimmie Walsh or Johnnie Langan.
Both of these men at the present time
have full charge Of the athletic asso-
citation. Walsh has had considerable ex-
perience In the line of handling the
teams. because he was the manager of
the 1911 foot ball team He is being
his friends.
On the other hand. there is not a more
popular man on the hilltop than Jack
Langan. He has all the qualities neces-
sary to hold such a prominent position
in the affairs at Georgetown. He has the
confidence of the whole student body,
and it would not be one bit surprising
to see him land this job.
1t was learned on good authority also
that Frank Gargan will surely be on
hand to coach the foot ball team at
Georgetown next year. The man who
stated that Gargan would be at George
town next fall is member of the eN-
ecutive board which selects the coach
He said that Gargan will surely be one
of the coaches next fall, but whether or
not he will be the head coach is not yet
decided upon. Every man at George
town appreciates Gargans efforts. Dur
ing the two years he has been at the
Blue and Gray institution he has had
success with the teams.
1t was officially announced at the hill
top last evening that Georgetown at the
beginning of next fall will have physi-
clan to attend to the training and care
taking of all the sick or injured athletes.
For some time past the men have been
going to whatever doctor they cared to
or saw fit. AS II result, the athletic asso-
citation at the hilltop has received bills
from at least seven physicians. There Is
a ruling at Georgetown which says ANY
man injured taken sick while taking
part in athletics shall be cared for at the
expense of the athletic association. The
doctors bill during the past fall easily
amounted to 500. OF course, there were
a great many injured men during the past
fall and that is the reason why so much
money was expended

BY J. ED GRILLO.

The suggestion Of changes in the play
ing rules as made by Johnny Evers of the
Chicago Cubs, printed in another col
umn OF this issue. is, to say the least.
worthy Of consideration. It will not hurt
the game In the least to place a further
handicap upon the pitcher, who of late
years has had things pretty much his
own way. This would happen il Evers'
suggestion of three balls instead of four
were adopted.
Another strong feature of the changes
proposed is the rule which would send a
second and third, heavy hitter should
be purposely walked. This is feature of
play which is never popular with the pa
irons Of the sport. 1t seems unsports-
manlike. and the penalty which Evers
suggests would come pretty near to put
ting stop to this practice.
1t Is. however. not likely that any Of
these changes will be adopted. In re-
cent years the rule makers seem to have
concluded to leave well enough alone. and
no changes which are material have been
made. Evers' proposition will open up a
discussion which should prove interest
ing and bring out a lot Of other proposed
changes. though in the end 1t will prob
ably be decided to leave the rules as
they are, for the game has prospered
under them.
Though George StallingS will start in at
Boston this year with a team of which
little can be expected, the impression is
growing that he will make a much bet
ter showing than have any of his recent
predecessors.
There has never been any question
about Stallings' ability as a manager and
as judge of ball players. incidentally
his players, which. of course. counts for
much. Stallings is sure to have a good
hitting team. and If he can be fortunate
enough to get a pitcher two he may
prove the surprise of the race. Had New
York retained Stallings Farrell's team
would not have had such disastrous sea-
sons the last. Stallings was building
up quite a ball team in New York when
he was forced to sever his connections.
Charley Murphy contends that Erers
and Bresnahan are drawing the largest
salaries in base ball. This announcement
Chance drawing $4,000 per year from
New York. But there Is evidence that
not all Of Murphy's players are satisfied
with the amount he pays them. Jimmy
Archer, the star catcher, Is not satisfied,
and neither is Safer nor Cheney, two play
ers who have made good. It is this latter
pair that Murphy is trying to trade to St.
Louis for kOntechy and Sallee-a deal
which, however, Is not apt to go through.
When Bresnahan signed with the Cubs
it caused some surprise. for 1t was be-
lieved that either Pittsburgh or Cincin-

up his reputation of the room. Any time
Nunamaker would hit safely Cady would
always remark that the room was now
batting so and so.
On the first trip of the Red Sox to
St. Louis Nunamaker was unfortunate
enough to break finger. 1t was a very
unfortunate thing for him. but a very
fortunate thing for Cady and the Boston
club. When after an examination by the
trainer it was evident that Nunamaker
would be unable to play. he yelled to
Cady. who was warming up bit. pre-
paratory to entering the game:
There's your chance to make good: be
sure to keep up the reputation of the
room.'
Just watch me, Nuny.'' answered
Cady. with a smile. From now on we
change places"
Cady certainly made good his threat.
which was made half as joke and half
in earnest. From that day he shared
catching honors with Carrigan. He got
his chance and made good. 1t was quite
a trick to turn, for there isn't club in
the majors who would not jump at a
chance to get Nunamaker.

PRIEST SAYS BLOND
ESQUIMAUX ARE IRISH
Descendants Of Band Of Monks Who
Came to America in the Sixth
Century, He Declares.

st. Louis, Nov. 2e.-Rev. C. F. o'Leary,
pastor Of the Catholic Church of Notre
Dame, who recently returned from a
visit to Ireland, is convinced that the
blond Esquimaux discovered by viIhjai-
mur Steffansson are in reality descend
ants of early Irish settlers.
1T is my belief" said Father oLeary,
that st. Brendan and his monks settled
In America in the sixth century. Many
historians believe this. Brendan was a
great mariner. as well as a great stu
dent. and with him missionaries were
going out by the scores from Ireland to
Germany, Italy, France, and other coun-
tries.
The Norwegians formerly called
America the Lesser Ireland and we
have the evidence of Brendan's discov-
cries in the sea which long was named
for him Mare Brendanicum."
Father O'Leary when abroad visited
the famous St Brendan's Mount. on
which the monastery stood. and studied
the old records. The expenses OF his
trip to Europe were paid in part with a
fund which his parish presented to him
on the occasion OF his fortieth jubilee
last spring.

he is legless, is one of the crack shots

While out with his brother John shoot

the matter in hand-squirrels. VIII asked
