ROGER PECK|NPAUGH
IS YANKEE CAPTAIN
Holds Unique Distinction Of
Being Only One Elected in
the Major Leagues.

NEW YORK, April 16-Roger Peckin-
paugh, the brilliant shortstop. is the
new captain Of the Yankees. Further
more he has been chosen by his team
mates, instead Of being appointed by
Manager Chance. In this he is proba bly,
the only elected captain in the big
leagues. The Peerless Leader did not
try 10 influence the election, simply call
ing his players together, outlining the
purpose Of the meeting and then leav
ing them to chose their own field cap
tain.
II like my boys better every day."
said the big commander in discussing
the meeting. They have shown me
the spirit and enthusiasm of which
champions are made. Utmost harmony
prevails throughout the ranks A few
OF my men are still inexperienced and
will make lot of mistakes before the
sea son is over. But f.they continue to
show the same ambition that has
marked their work throughout the
spring I am sure they will develop into
finished products before this race is
over. All are willing TO learn and all
remember what is taught.
II am glad my boys selected Peckin-
paugh as captain, for to my mind he is
one Of the greatest shortstops IN the
game today. 1 certainly would not trade
him for any one you could name. He Is
earnest, conscientious and aggressive.
Besides he is admired and respected by
every one and possessed OF the quick
intuition of generalship. ! think Peck

the erratic southpaw of McGraw's team

Marquard, so tie story goes. asked
Ward why the Brooklyn Federals made
him no offer. He was told that the
Brooklyn club would consider no one
who was under contract, and that it
had been understood Marquard was un-
der contract to the New York Nationals.
Marquard is reported to have said that
he had signed only day or two pre-
viously: that he had awaited anxiously
an offer from the Federals for many
weeks. It was understood generally
In baseball circles that Msrquard was
employed on a long term contract which
covered this season.
Gilmore. who left last night for Kan
sas City, declared that he would tegin

says he will sue Catcher William KILL

Introducing That Come
, dian Coach, Mr.. Nicho-
las Altrock, Working
on a Life Job.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

Nick A1trock is one Of the few
men in baseball today who has the
distinction of having been discarded
by a team only to be subsequently
recalled by the same club. Altrock
came here In 1910 in a deal which
also landed the lamented "JigEs"
Donohue in Washington, in an ex-
change with the Chicago Sox and,
after a term in the minors, was
brought back in 1872.
Nineteen years ago, Altrock was
catching for the Nicholsonville team
of Kentucky and then played with
Grand Rapids. Louisville, Oswego,
", T.. Syracuse, Toronto. Los An
geles, Milwaukee and. Boston. In
1903 he went to Chicago and then
made the history that win long
connect his name with superior left
hand pitching. He saw the rise of
the Sox from mediocrity to suprem-
acy and in tho titanic struggle with
the Chicago Cubs in the worlds Sc
ries, IT was largely through his en-
deavors that enticed the dove Of
victory to perch on the banner OF
tho immaculate hosed athletes in
1906.
After coming here in 1910 for a
short time, Altrock was sent to Min
neapolis, where he pitched under
Cantillon until he was expressed to
Kansas City.
Griffith, in looking for clever
coachers Of pitchers, settled on
Altrock and got him from Kansas
in 1912. The fans know Altrock As
the comedian, but as q strategist and
pitching professor he is invaluable
to the manager OF the Griffnen,
who not long since told Altrock he
has a life job here.
