WINTER BASEBALL"
SEASON is NOW OPEN

There is every indication that the
winter baseball season of 1915 Will
be fully as interesting as any Of its
predecessors. The task of explaining
how the Braves took the National
league pennant and then defeated the
Athletics in four straight offers I'M
limited opportunities to stausticians
and historians. The failure of the Fed
eral league TO come TO wreck should
DC matter Of constant. edifying con-
versatiOn. and the relations Of the
untonized players with their employers
are capable OF producing any number
Of diverting quarrels- Several teams
are 10 be rebuilt. the startegists viii
give ample advice to the managers.
The season just closed appears to
have been more nourishing TO players
than 10 owners. A number Of clubs
have lost money, particularly in the
smaller leagues. Even from the two
major organizations there are cries OF
distress. Mr.. Stallings declares that
the Athletics themselves showed not
profit but a deficit, before the worlds
championship series began. We should
not summon Mr.. Stallings as an i'm
partial witness on Mr.. Macks affairs,
but the fact remains that not a few
clubs have lost money Meanwhile. the
players union. having obtained some
concessions from the magnates, is after
mere, and the salary schedules are such
as TO inspire envy in the minds Of mere
money kings.
All in all. the season Of indoor base
ball promises well There will be no
lack Of talk, and talk is the main thing
in baseball. as in politics.

BricSley Was Main Cog
The Harvard team was built around
Brickley- The great fullback was the
main cog i'm the Harvard machine With
that cog removed. the machine seems
minus its power and its tremendous
drive To Brickley more than anyone
else is due the credit for Harvard's
great showing during the past three
years. Brickley's boot beat Yale and
Princeton last year. and it was figured
that Brickley's boot might repeat
against Michigan.
ThehHarvard team during the past
three seasons has not been drilled TO
make tOuchdowus against its strongest
foes II hasn't been drilled to smash
through the euemy's lines and smash
again until it has carried the ball over
the line Its main drilling has been
to get the ball within 20 or 80 yards
of the rival line and TO leave the rest to
Brickley and his boot.

Rarely has the Harvard team attempted
70 carry the ball over the line Of its

DOdsOn Struck Out 10.
Though everyone played well and
clean, special mention must be made of
pitcher Dodson, Of the third squadron,
who struck out Is men during the nine
innings. Dodson knows the game from
a TO lizard, and he has been playing
the game for Il years. He formerly
played with the Southern league, but
decided that he preferred army base
ball to that played by the teams in
civil life, so. for that reason, and one
or two more, he remained in the mill
tary service and made good as a first
grade pitcher and pinch" hitter.
Catcher Brown was an able assistant
to DOdson, and the two worked to-
gether like big leaguers- Fatty"
