HOW IRA THOMAS
 KIDDED GHAPPELL
Philadelphia Catcher Made
 High Priced Chicago Re- eruit Strike Out.

Larry Chapel1, the uch-advertised outfielder of the White Sox. made his American League debut against the Athletics. There was much interest in his initial appearances, because Of the many tales about his swatting ability. as well as the fact that he was about a week overdue in reporting q for his Chicago premier. Ira Thorn as of the Athletics had the time Of his life that afternoon kidding aSnuua- who he knew quite we'll
 ChappeH was unfortunate enough to face Chief Bender on his first trip to the plate as an American Leaguer Few pitchers know more aboutsworax- ing a batter thanSthe foxy Indian He knhw full well that a big majority 5of the crowd were present to watch Chappell in action. He also knew that they would be delighted to see him take all kinds of liberty with the Chiefs offerings. This, of course, made Bender just as anxious to dis pose of ChappeIl, as Chappell was to hit safely. Chappell, of course, was a bit nervous, as any fellow would be under the circumstances, while the experienced veteran Bender was as cool as cake of ice in winter time.
 A group of photographers were clustered around first base as Chap pel1 stepped to the plate. They were anxious to get some good action pie lures of the new recruit. If it was close play at first they wanted to get it. However, they preferred to get Q picture of .ChappelI rounding first on a triple.
 Why are you boys waiting aroun u first base 2" yelled Thomas from the Athletic bench.
 We are all anxiousSto get the first good photo of Chappe1l reaching first, answered one of the boys who knew Thomas.
 You're standing ins the wrong place." said Thomas with smile :; you should be clustered around the home plate.''
 It is an easy matter to shift up there, in case he makes a home run, 2 replied the photographer.
 Don't worry on that score" said Iras CT just thought you would like to get picture of the third strike ,' On the very next ball Chappen made Thomas good prophet by taking q healthy swing for the third strike.

HoT STOVE LEAGUE IS SIZZLING, WITH WINTER
 LEAGUE ON TO COOK

E This has been l great month for the Hot Stove baseball league. The Fed era1 League pot has been boiling right merrily Another big baseball pro- said or written but which appears to have the backing of several magnates interested in National, American and International league ball, is on the stove cooking, although it will not be ready to serve for several months yet This is a proposed Winter League, which, if the scheme works out, will be launched next November, and will have season extending over about five months.
 As the scheme has been doped out. the teams will be composed of star players of the major and kbig minor circuits, who will thus be given a chance to earn salaries the year round, although the Winter League pay will necessarily be smaller than that contained in the envelopes hand ed out during the regular season. The scheme was first proposed about a year ago by a wealthy Havana en- thusiast, who offered to build a fine plant in the Cuban capital, where the people are now baseball mad.
 At that time the major league mag mates dismissed the proposition, de- claring that continuous playing might be injurious to the men. Another ob- lection was that the Havana magnate insisted that his club be made up of Cuban players, many of whom are gents of color, who are barred from the major leagues. It is understood that the baseball pIutocrats are now inclined to favor the project, as the attraction of continuous season might serve to hold many p1ayefs against the Establishments of the Fed eral League.
 The circuit of the proposed Winter League would certainly include Ha5- vana Other cities considered would be Key West, Santiago de Cuba, Jack sonville, Tampa and Pensacola, Fla. Mobile Ala, New Orleans, and possi- ble San Juan, Porto Rico The Cub- ans would certainly give enthusiastic support to such a club, and if the Havana team happened to be among the pennant contenders they. would mob the box office
 The baseball season in Havana is now on in full blast, and big crowds witness the contests between the Ha- vanas. the Almendares and the Fes. the three professional clubs of the Cuban capital. Havana would be necessary to such a league, and the project seems now to hinge on wheth- CT the American magnates will with5 draw the color line. The Cubans be- lieve that many of their negro players are world -beaters, and they would not support a club that banned Africans.

Today in Pugilistic Annals.

lS6S-Johnny Summers, the Eng usn Welterwefght, was born in Eng land on this date. Summers began nght1ng when he was seventeen years old, and scrapped his way up through Ine a vaI1ous divisions to the possession of the Lord Lonsdale belt syn1bolizfng the welterweight championship of Great Britain. Summers first visited America in 1907, remaining about a. year, when he defeated a number of good men in bouts at Philadelphia. Boston. New York, Baltimore and other cities, but was defeated by Matty Baldwin. On returning to England in 1908 he was defeated by Jimmy Br1tt the California boxer but the Following year he twice whipped Britt the last time by a knockout. Sum- mers was defeated by Freddie Welsh, and then went to Australia, where he stopped Hugh Mehegan Back in England in 1911 he was knocked out by two Americans, Harry Lewis and Dixie Kid. A devout Catholic, Sum mers on several occasions opened his fights with praver.

BOXING NOTES

Jimmy Duffy, the Buffalo light weight whom Bert Finch terms the eastern champion, is out with a paths- tic appeal for a match with some of the 133 pound stars, especially Charlie White, Ad Wo1gast or Willie .Ritchie. ssAl1 of the stars have been side-step- ping Duffy, writes Bert, "but we are on their trail and will not stop until one of them has been landed. Jimmy has beaten nearly every 1ightwe ght of any note, outside of the few stars left. and now he wants the big ones. He will meet White, Wolgast, Rivers Rftchie any place, any time and for any reasonable purse, and will give any one of them a side bet if desired. There is no bluff about it as we will put up the cash any time they want to come across, for side wager. The Buffalo clubs have tried hard to get these stars to, box Duffy, but they have all had engagements when ap- preached" If Jimmy is unable to make connections with the shining g stars he will have no trouble in hook ing up with Pal Brown when the lat ter returns from. Australia, for Pal is one of the same kind-a1l business when it comes to fights.
 Bob McA1lister, the Pacific coast middleweight, or rather light heavy weight, gave himself a big boost at the expense of one Battling Levinsky the other night when he proceeded to outpoint the tall and slender Phila- delphian in ten rounds. Levinsl<y had been picked to beat the California star without much ceremony, but he found that Robert was some shucks when it came to doing the tango and other fancy dances about the carpet. Lev insky put up a great battle, but he found that his speed was not equal to that of Robert and no wonder, for Battling had fought three times with in the week previous to his bout with McAIlister. Probably Dan Morgan will allow Levinsky to rest long enough now to get his bearings for the next match and possibly train a bit. There

 It is said that Charlie Ebbets, the Brooklyn owner, had a conference with Joe. Tinker, in Chicago, which lasted almost two minutes, long enough for the shortstop to express this spring. But Charlie. though spurned is hopeful. Two minutes is a lot of time for the busy Tinker to spare for picayune $10.000 bonus
