Waterloo Grappler Challenges
Victor in Brondell- Slaymaker
Bout Tuesday.

Carl Brown of Waterloo, Iowa, one
of the leading welterweight wrestlers
of the middle west, has extended a
challenge to the winner of the Harry
Brondell-Jesse Slaymaker match,
which takes place next Tuesday night
at the Illinois theatre. Brown,
through his manager, George Hitch

pletely recovered from his recent in
jury and is now prepared to take on
any opponent at his weight He is
particularly keen for a bout with
either Brondell or Slaymaker, and has
notified the Illinois Athletic club that
he will take on the winner of the com
ing bout.
Brondell, who has begun active
training for his match with Slaymaker,
states he has no fear of the Waterloo
grappler
''If l win over Slaymaker next Tues
day night, l will be willing to go
against Brown" says Brondell. 81

NO SUNDAY BASEBALL
FOR BROOKLYN FANS

Baltimore. Md. March 26.-When
the directors of the Federal league
met yesterday to go over the playing
dates arranged by the schedule COM
mittee it was expected that the spirit
of cooperation that prevailed a Tues
days session would result in speedy
action upon the schedule and early
adjournment.
President r. B. Ward of the Brook
lyn club came out emphatically
against his team playing Sunday base
ball and the schedule makers arranged
the dates In the west accordingly.
The ball players must work the
same as the banker to maintain their
standard and to improve in efficiency"
said Mr.. Ward. IF they fall behind
they are dropped. That's why they
should have their rest as anyone else.
I'm not straight-laced. but 1 do be-
lieve in proper observance OF Sunday,
and because of my belief my players
will have relief from duty"

/ been a regular fielder with the Braves.
Tinker has not yet filled the first and
second base positions, though there
seems to be a lot of promising mater
ial for these places. Bill Jackson, the
tall, swarthy boy who performed in the
Northwestern league last year, and
Fred Beck, who has been in the big
leagues before. are the likeliest can
didates.
If anybody beats little Johnny Far
rell out of the job at second base it
viii be because that person is a star.
Farrell is the smallest fellow on the
team and Just about the fastest on
the infield in handling a ball. He is a
scrapper all the time and thus far has
displayed exceptional hitting ability.
His strongest rival for the job is Har-
~ Fritz, the high school athlete from
Philadelphia.
In addition to the men mentioned
there are some classy recruits who are
not out of the race for regular jobs
by any means. Kavanaugh at short.
Stanley at third. and Coles and Flack
in the outfield, are all good men.

which has been training here since
early in the present month, begins TO
look like a major league organization.
When the training season started Joe
Tinker didn't know exactly what he
had in the way Of material. Now he
knows that he has a team OF the very
first order, and he is mighty well
pleased.
II Tinker had another star inf1elder
the Feds would have an organization
that might defeat either the New York
Giants or the Philadelphia Athletics.
Any team with pitchers such as Hen
dirk, Brennan and Seaton and infield-
ers such as Tinker and Rollie Zeider
cannot be classed as a minor organiza-
ton.
In addition TO these stars. Tinker
has for catchers Wilson and Block.
both Of whom are major leaguers and
would be this year II the Feds hadn't
come across with more money than the
older organizations could or would pay.

look like-and what will they do when
they begin cavorting on the greens
next month?
The Giants pitching staff sizes up
as the very best in the league. Math-
ewson, Marquard, Demaree and Tes-
reau constitute quartet that seem
to have enough skill and power to
grab off about 20 per cent of their
games. In addition to this quartet the
New Workers have a few new fling

EXPECT GIANTS
TO COP PENNANT
If McGraw's Athletes Win
Again Smash Will Go AL
Big League Records.

| 1t looks just now as If the New
York Giants will grab off the 1914
pennant in the National league, there
| by turning the trick that no team in
modern baseball has been able to turn
winning a pennant four times in q
/ row.
The Phillies, looked upon as being
able to give the Giants real fight all
the way to the wire, have been shot
to pieces by the invading Federals.
With Seaton and Brennan now per-
forming in Federal uniforms, the
Phillies' pitching strength is at least
80 per cent weaker than it was at the
close of the 1913 season.
The actions of Second Baseman
Knabe and Shortstop Doolan in going
over to the Federals has wrecked the
inner breastworks of the Phillies and
Manager Doom has no one among his
recruits that looks able enough to
jump into the vacated boots and per-
form in real style.
The Cubs are not looked upon to
furnish any real trouble this season.
The Cubs in the old days stacked up
as one of the best aggregations in
baseball history. But the going of
Tinker, Chance, Evers, Brown, Reul-
bach and a few of the other stars has
reduced the outfit to little more than
a second division organization.
Pittsburgh and possibly the Boston
Braves are the only teams that loom
up just now as strong enough to
heckle the Giants. The Pirates seem
to have been greatly strengthened in
the infield by the trade with the Car
dinals but the showing of the club
depends quite lot on what the pitch
ers will do. If the hurlers can strike
a steady stride at the start of the
season and keep it up, Wagner, Viox,
Mowry ct al, may be counted upon to
do their share in the uplift work.
The Braves are a problem. The
acquisition of Evers has strengthened
the team materially and on paper
they look like one of the very hest
little aggregations that has worn
Boston uniform since Lots wife took |
another squint and was transformed |
into a bag of salt. But what will they |

Then there are three fellows in the
outfield who would surely have been
holding major league jobs this season,
although two of them were in the
minors last year.
Austin Walsh, the Chicago youth who
was in the Observation-Disclosures league
last year as a leading hitter. is ready
for big league job because of his
hitting ability. If he were in either of
the major leagues the chances are he
would clout at a 800 clip this season.
Al Wickland is another hard hitting
fellow, although small in stature. He
showed well while performing for Gin
cinnati last fall and is a natural ball
player through and through. A lot of
outfielders who are not as good are
holding jobs in the major leagues.
The other regular outfielding job
will be held down by Alex Zwilling.

ment of the game than either of the
other two. He was drafted last fall

Keokuk, Ia, March 26.-The sche-
be out for sure some time this week,
it's release being assured as soon as
President Justice makes the final re-
vision Of the important chart. Re-
ceived several weeks ago from the
schedule maker, it has now been
approved by three members of the
schedule committee, who report that
it is satisfactory to them and to the
teams interested.
The schedule is going to be some
what more expensive to the various
teams in travelling expenses, as the
distances are necessarily greater.
The admission of MarshalItown into
the league adds very greatly to the
length of the trips the teams will
have to make and this will make the
total mileage GREATER.
The arrangement of series at
home and abroad in the case of each
city appear to be very fair all around.
1t is considered to be one OF the
best schedules the association has
ever had.
With the opening of the big league
schedules but three weeks away, in
terest in things baseball is on the
increase. Two weeks hence will see
the leader of the Indians in the city
getting things ready for the annual
reception of likely and unlikely base
bail material Abbott is expected on
the 9Th of April. He will go over

ceived and will prune down the list
that is to report. Travelling ex-
penses will then be sent out and rail-

that the pavilion had not been open
