Dave CASTOR and his Muckalees got
their first real workout of the season
yesterday afternoon at Muckalee park.
Eleven men were out and several look
Ell good on their first appearance. Dave
is going to put the boys through their
PAGES for the next ten days so that
he can get a line on every one of them
as quickly as possible.
The wedding out process began yes

slip to three men that had paid their
own transportation to Americas for a
tryout with the Muckalees. 1t didn
take CASTOR long to tell that they were
not ripe for professional ball as ye.
But as Dave says manager will new

chance to show what he has, if he S

training season.
Ellis, a semi-pro. first baseman, S
the latest addition to the Muckalee

LEE STREET WINS
FROM TAYLOR BOYS

Americas fans are apt to lose sight
OF the fact that the youngsters of the
city are some ball players, now that
the Muckalees and Scouts are on
deck. But every afternoon the larger
part OF young Americus can be found
at the park initiating the stuns of Dave
Gason or on some back lot trimming
their lamps" for the coming of an i'm
portant series with some rival collec-
ton of embryo Jay Kirkes.
The first real game of the junior sea-
son was uncorked yesterday at the
old ball lot. Lee street handed bit
ter dose to a team composed of boys
whose parents pay taxes on property
located on Taylor street The game
was hot affair according to the de-
scription of the warriors bold. At the
end of the last inning when the score
had been counted up it was found that
Lee street had IL runs and Taylor had
two less. Everett and Dodson were
the Lee street battery, and Horton and
Grey worked in similar roles for the
Taylor street team.

LOCAL JEWELER WILL
GIVE SILVER TROPHY
To LEADING BAT TER

Whoever the leading stick artist
with the 1914 Muckalees will be he has
a peach of a trophy waiting for him
to claim it. S. A. Daniels, the enter
prising jeweler fan, has on display in
his window sterling silver bat &c
inches long and sterling silver base
ball, regulation size, that will be the
property of the man who tops the rest
of the team in the batting averages.
The trophy is peach. The bat is
almost regulation size and the ball is
every bit as large as the balls the bat
ter must knock, where some fielder
isn't, to win it. Mr.. Daniels is a man
who enjoys good ball game and like
to encourage the boys to do their best
for Americas. He does not confine
his roofing to the ball park but makes

With the Willow

In the clubbing line, Hugh Duffy's
record of ABS for one season made in
1894 is the marke the star batters must
shoot at. Ty Cobb of the Tigers made
24S hits in 1911. Brown, playing with
Louisville in 1892 was at bat Cos times
in one season. The Phillies, back in
the late COS, made SO hits in one nine
inning game off John Wadsworth, of
Louisville.
Clarence Beaumont, of the Pirates,
got six hits in six times up in 1899,
while Ed Delehanty of the Phillies got
four home runs and single in five
times up off Terry, the Chicago pitch
er, in 1896. Buck" Freeman, the old
Washington player, hammered out %
home runs in one inning, the next best
achievement in this line having been
Frank Shuttle Of the Cubs who annex
ed 81 circuits swats in 1911.
In 1907 Hal Chase, then with the
Yankees, batted safely in q consecu-
tive games. In 1911 Fred Merkle OF
the Giants made. home run and 4
two bate hit in one inning against
the Cardinal pitchers. In 1912 the
Giants made 10 two-base hits against
trio of Brooklyn pitchers.
Twenty.fOur Innings
The Athletics and Red Sox battled
in a 24-inning game in 1906 that ended
Al in favor of the Athletics Barrett
of Detroit played in 1862 games in 1904
The Providence team in 1884 won q
consecutive games. The White Sox in
1906 won 10 in a row. Chicago scored
eighteen runs in one inning against
Detroit in 1883. Ty Cobb scored 147
runs in one season-1911. Harry Ste

mems chances to land berths at this
stage of the game, but it looks as
though Dave has signed up couple [ /
good infielders in We'll and Erb. Both
of these boys met the ball good and
square in practice yesterday and
scooped up everything in sight, even
though they both were stiff from sew
eral months idleness.
Grady Bowen, Walt Brouthers and
Pete McLain were out in uniforms and
made Manager Dave sit up and take
notice at the way they slammed the
ball around and gathered up flies and
grounders. Bowen is due to have Z
grand season at third and Brouthers
and McLain ought to make themselves
handy in the outer gardens.
CASTOR is expecting Dacey and Yer.
ner, both pitchers, to arrive today
Barber, an outfelder from Atlanta
should also come in within the mex
twenty-four hours. Reilly, a combina.
ton outfelder and catcher, will prob
ably arrive Saturday.
The Americas team will practic:
every day at 2 o'clock, and the fans
will have a chance to view them in ac
ton the latter part of next week wher
Dave will probably send them il

Pittsburg, March 1S.-The sky's the
limit in baseball salaries now. With
iris Speaker getting $4,000 year to
play with Boston or $4,000 for two
years, the fans are wondering how
deep owners must dig into their gold
bags to protect their stars from Fed
eral League raids. The skyrocket rise
in players salaries has made the high
cost of living seem cheap in compar-
ison. The average player now receives
two, three and in some cases four
times as much as the diamond per-
former ten years ago. The present
day star writes his own ticket and
pulls down big bonus just for Sign
ing.
Horace Greeley used to say Go
West, young man." to youths seeking
success. If Horace could now hand
out advice his tip would probably be,
Go into baseball, there's big money i'll

Speakers rise in three years from
the minor to the highest paid star IN
the game is without parallel in any
sport. Three years ago the Boston
Americans drafted Speaker from the
bushes and turned him over to the Lit
tie Rock (Ark) club as payment for
the use of the latter's grounds. Coming
to the Red Sox, Speaker made good
from the first. He has always batted
over 300, and two years in the world
series he lessened the Giants chances
with his wonderful batting and field
| ing. Last year Speaker finished fourth

tiers. He took part in TAI games, made
1871 hits, stole 46 bases for a batting

Well, What Are They Going to
Do With The Records This
Season? Here They Are

New York, March 17.-Each season
ball players individually and as a
team start out with the determination
Of smashing some of the old records
and establishing new ones for them
selves. Here are a few of the records
taken from Spaulding's 1914 Guide
which show the rather husky task
that confronts the players of this year
who have record-breaking ambitions.
Catchers.
In 1909, George Gibson, the Pirate
catcher, worked in 140 consecutive
games. In July 1908 Roger Bresnahan.
then with the Giants, did not have an
assist or put-out in ten inning game.
An average of 800 for the season was
turned in during 1904 by Joe Sugden
OF the Browns, in 1906, by Jack O'Con-
nor, Of the Browns, in 1907 by Frank
Bowerman, of New York, in 1909 by
Forrest Cady, of the Red Sox, and also
by George Gibson, of Pittsburg.
In Pitching Line.
In the pitching line, Charles Rad
bourne, with Providence in 1883 work
ed in 81 consecutive games and won
%. In 1883 he pitched 70 games IN
one season. record that was dupli-
Gated in 1889 by John Clarson, then
with Boston. Keefe, pitching for the
Giants in 1889, and Marquard, pitch
ing for the same team in 1912, are ned
with 10 consecutive victories in one
season.
Charles Sweeney, pitching for Provl-
dence against Boston in 1888, struck
out Fl batsmen. Amos Rusie, in 1892,
gave 261 bases on balls in one season.
In 1875 Al G. spalding pitched SO
games and got an average of S99 for
the season. In 1904 "Rube" Waddell,
then with the Athletics. struck out
34S batsmen in one season.

$1,000 Big Pay on Old Days.

"A player getting from $1,700 to ST.
800 in the old days was considered
lucky. However, gradually wages be-
gan working upward. The last sever
al years the jump has been rapid, but
when the Federal League money began
talking this year salaries simply shot
up to the clouds. The end is not in
sight even at Speakers record con-
