PLENTIFUL,
TOO MANY LEAGUES
Present Season Has Developed
More Good Performers Than
Any Previous.
By HUGH, S. FULLERTON.

J 1t seems that the team that needs
an outfielder develops a pitcher, and the
team that needs pitchers and has a
strong infield finds two or three corking
infelders. 1t has been that way TO a
large extent this season.
The fact is that the major leagues
have developed more good young play
ers this season than they have in the
last ten years. The reason is double
the Federal League came in, developing
number of corking players from raw
material, and they forced the major
leagues to hold young players who de-
veloped in spite of the managers.
At least two out OF three of the men
who are now hailed as finds" would
have been sent back to the minors al
most without trial had not the Feds
been in the field. They were held be-
to let them go-and when their chances
came they made good.
The new players who have developed
this season prove that If they are given
real chance the minor leaguers can
prove equal to the needs of the game.
The New York Giants have Robert
son. a transformed pitcher, into a
smuggling outfielder and have made a
formidable player of Stock. The Cubs
and label. Philadelphia brought Mayer
and Martin to he front. Cincinnati,
which is club in the formative period,
has produced Won Kolnitz, Gonzalez,
Twombley. Douglass and Niehoff.
Boston Braves needed an oUtfielder
and some pitchers this spring and pro-
ceeded to develop everything that was
not needed. Stallings has mads ma iOr
league players of Collins, Crutchcr.
Schmidt and Whitfield, while tn. Cards
have developed Doak. Beck, and Dolan,
Pittsburgh has brought Joe Kelly and
Kantalehner to the major League
standard. while Brooklyn shows O'Mara
and Kunzman as likely to stick.
The American League has produced
even more good men: there are Berg
er; MAYER. Faber. and Breton of the
White Sox: Rehs and Johnson. OF the
Rumbler. Of the Browns with several
added possibilities: Acosta, Of the
Senators: Kavanaugh. Cavet. Main,
Coveleskie. Boehler. of the Tigers;
Cook. Boone. and several possibilities
on the Yankees.
The Federals seem to have had mora
luck in developing youngsters than
they have in taking from the major
leagues. 1t looks as if they could have
developed a league of major league
strength by paying strict attention to
getting promising youngsters much
more quickly than they could by taking
from the majors.

LET OTHER FELLOW
WORRY, SAYS JIMMY
Federal League chieftain Tells
Club Owners to Get What
ever Players They Need.

PITTSBURGH. July 23-Swingins
around the circuit To confer with the
owners of the different Federal teams,
following the all important decisions
of the Illinois appellate court and the
johnson and Chase cases. President
James G. Gilmore arrived here this
morning.
Enthusiastic over the latest legal
victories of the Feds. President Gil
more spoke freely of the outlook for
the baby league.
There is nothing TO prevent US from
securing those players we want now
he said. We have the money and
We shall go out and get the men,
That's all there is to It. Frankly, that
is one of the reasons why I am max
ing my rounds. shall confer with
the team owners IN all the cities where
we have a franchise, and my advice
to them will be Go and get the men
you want We already have about fif-
ing with National and American
League teams under contract for 1915.
II is not likely We shall ask any OF
these men to come with US this year,
however.
Still we shall place no obstacle in
signing the players they want to re-
port Immediately II they so desire. Be-
fore the season closes we will have all
the men we want for next year signed
I'D to contracts that will hold In any
court in the land. AS it is. we are
content and willing to let the other fell
lows do the worrying"
Gilmore admitted that there would
likely be two changes in the Federal
circuit next year" He casually remark
ed that Federal teams should do well
in Cleveland and Cincinnati. and that
Detroit will easily support another team.

Adams Considered the Best
Chance for the Berlin Nine
teen-Sixteen Meet.

Uncle Sam is already on a silent hun,
for man 70 take Jim Thorpe's place
In the field OF athletics, and It Is a con-
siderable hunt. too. Jim Thorpes and
Martin Sheridans don't STOW on straw
berry bushes. and nobody knows 1t het-
ter than the same U. 8.
There are several youngsters that
have been uncovered. and any one of
them might walk of with the all
around championship when the cream
of the world meets in 1916 In Berlin.
II Plat Adams, of the New York Ath-
letic Club. should decide to train for
the pentathlon. II Is believed he would
place on the books a better performer
than the great Jim Thorpe. Adams
performances In the field events are
better than those OF Thorpe, but he
falls down badly in the two track
eNents-20-mcter run and 1500-meter
run. Adams throws the javeln close
to 16O feet. jumps % feet inches In
running broad jump. and has thrown
the discus 40 feet These are the five
events which make up the pentathlon.
II Adams decides to try for the Ameri-
can team 10 Berlin. 1t will no doubt
be in this event. as his favorite events
standing high and broad jumps-have
been eliminated from the Olympic pro-
gram.
Charles c. Cock. of the Chicago Ath-
letic Association. is probably the next
best man in line. He Is a very good
fprinter and broad jumper. He was
member OF the last Olympic team. nav,
lrg won the 200-meter run in the centeil

Game Today in Departmental League May Decide Title SPC

By GRANTLAND RICE.

The Grand Old Pastime.
When you've figured out cinch
With a double-coppered clinch
That it couldn't happen so,
Merely twist the situation
Upside down, and with elation
Quickly kick in with your dough
When you've figured to hair
And you know the logic's there
And the picEing's over ripe,
Merely twist it upside down,
Promptly play the other down,
And you're planted for a pipe.
These may sound like harsh, not to
say cruel, words, but We have the
papers and the proof.
George Stallings told US one day, as
We have mentioned before, that he

passed to emerge from the rut was
Pittsburgh. In two months time the
worst looking cub, then, had wiped
out a margin of I15 points against the

So far as We can figure 1t, this is the
first time on record that a tail end
club emerged from last place by beat
ing out club that had led the league
for a month. 1t is almost certainly the
first time on record that n tail end
club gained 715 points on leader with

him.
No wonder the Brave leader feels
that he still has a chance to wipe out

Several folks along the highway have

hurts baseball. We put the query up to
Matty. There's no question" ne said
but that in my own case golf has help
ed me wonderfully. In the first place
it has kept me in much better condition
through the winter and has also kept
me more fit all through the sson
Working nine innings in the hot sun
isn't any strain at all after one has
got used to a thirty six hole trip up and
down hill around a course.
There's still another help" he said.
Starting early in February and finish
ing late in October, with an everyday
schedule of work. one is bound to get
stale on baseball. One gets used to think
Ing of no other game. 1t begins to get
on ones nerves. BY turning to golf l
get interested in a different game and
get a chance to forget baseball once or
twice a week. This has kept me from
feeling any sign of staleness. Last sea-
cally no golf, and. as | remember it, l
had won eleven games and lost seven.
This season ] have played quite bit of
golf, and so far l have won sixteen and
lost four. That ought to be the answer"
