HYATT CUSSES FOR

The cleauest spoken bunch of ouc-

is the set used by Pittsburg in the

language of any kind and it is repellent
to his nature Chief Owen Wilson

and has never been heard swearing on
the few occasions when he did break
out in speech. Max Carey, the left
fielder, is minister, and as can be

BIC SPORT SEASON
FOR UNITED STATES

New York, Feb. 11-UTncIe Sam has
mapped out for himself the coming
season the busiest athletic season that
he has INDUCED in since John Hancock
and a number of other fellows signed a
large sheet of paper, thereby detaching
this section of the world from English
domain, and made it a nation by Itself.
Uncle Sans going to tackle his Eng
list rivals at pony polo in June; some
of his offsprings are billed to battle

lands n ferense Of Sammy's title as
tennis champion of the world; one

grapple with Sir Thomas Liptons boat
to settle the 1914 supremacy of the
seas, and Sammy's juvenile golfng
wonder, Francis Oulmet, will be called
upon to defend his title as open golf

Just now Sammy is the king of all
these sports. He's the champion. He
has stored away in his treasure vaults
all the ribbons, cups and other para
phernalia that one acquires when one
is able to wallop all opponents
But it wouldn't be a bit surprising
if one or another of the hosts that will
invade these United States this sum-
mer snatched a few laurel leaves from
the brow of Sammy.

BOBBY GILKS WANTS
UTTER FOR CATCHER

Bobby Gilks, Montgomery manager,
has opened negotiations with Presi-
dent Flynn, of the Columbus Miss
team to buy Dick Utter for a secoE 1
string catcher. Gilks has seen Dick
catch and believes that he is a valua-
BILE man to have around when the first
receiver needs a rest or goes wronS.
Dick has been notified by President
Flynn that he is willing to give him Il
chance to make good in fast company
if he wants the trial. Naturally, Dick
will take some time before he turns
down the chance to break into the
Southern league. In case Gilks will
offer him anything like he gets to
manage in the Cotton States we have
a bunch he will grab the chance.
The 1914 Spalding record gives Dick
batting average of 1856 while WITH
Columbus, and credits him with lead
ing the catchers of that compact little
circuit.

by the consent of President Johnson of

Cincinnati Base Hit.
The passing of the Cincinnati base
hit has been recommended by the rules
committee of the National league and
this action will probably be acquiescei
in by the rules committee of toe Amer
lean league and made final tomorrow
when the two committees meet in joint
session. The National league commit
tee has also recommended that the
playing rules be made uniform in both
leagues.
The changes in the rules suggest ID

were approved by the national rules
committee and will probably be incor-
porated in the uniform playing regula-
tons. The baseball writer's sugges-
ton relative to the Cincinnati base
hit is as follows:
When fielder has gained the bat
ted ball and elects to retire the base
runner instead of the batter, the play
| is known as a filder's choice. In case
the runner is retired or would be re-
tired but for an error, the batter is
