WHEELER STRIVING FOR
four LETTERS WHILE AN
ATHLETE FOR old YALE

Nate Wheeler is after the record
set by Fudge" Heffeltinger Of winning
four "Y's" during his Yale career and
he promises to come close to equalling
it before the close Of the present
school year in June. In fact, he is
practically certain to win his insignia
on four regular Yale teams before
June, establishing a record that has
not been equalled in recent years at
Yale.
Wheeler represented Yale in the in
tercollegiate golf tournament, winning
the individual championship, thereby
getting his first y" for the year. On
last falls football team Wheeler was
used at both quarterback and half
back in nearly all. Of the games Yale
played.
Following the close of the football
season Wheeler figured in nearly all
the basketball games played during
the later half of the season.
Still another sport will claim his at
jumpers at Yale and will train for the
track team in connection with his golf
play during April and May. lie has a,
mark of 81 feet in the jump event and
will figure as one of Yale's most like
ly broad leapers to capture a point or
WI in the event at either the Harvard
OF Princeton meet or at the intercol-
legiates.
In case he is successful he will have
been enrolled on four Yale athletic
teams during the year. a record only
attained by Heffeltinger.

DAVE FULTz IS
IN WAR C0L0RS
President of Players Frat
Threatens Battle on
Commission.

New York. March 2S.-Organizcd
aseba finds itself facing another
pretty little wrangle today. President
Dave Fultz of the Baseball Players
fraternity has donnrd his wan paint
and promised the great fathers nf the
diamond sport Il battle to the finish.
President Dave is nettled and i'm
censcd over the National commissions
construction Of section is of the Gin
cinnati peace pact. Ful,z yesterday
promised to carry an appeal TO The
commission and if redress is not
granted, organized baseball may face
a strike on the part of the Players
fraternity. According to the COM
MISSIONS ruling, section is would not
conflict with the old method of re-
turning drafted players. In other
words a drafted PLAYER could he re-
turned to Glass A clubs without Class
IA clubs being given Il chance to get
him. This, Fultz says, is entirely
against the intent. Of the clause as
adopted.
The Southern association put up an
awful howl when the players were
granted this request, and it may be
probable that the commission was
somewhat influenced by the attitude OF
the Southern association.
Another loophole for trouble was
seen today in a finding of the National
commission dealing with side agree
ments between clubs and players.
which agreements were banned at the
instance of the fraternity. The COM
mission revoked the clause invalidat-
ing such agreements.

The Times
Sporting News
Is Reliable
BELIEVES
He WILL REPORT
Manager of World Cham
pions Declaes His Team
Can Win Again.

Connie Mack, manager of the cham-
pion Athletics, has little doubt he will
again win the pennant in the Amcri-
can league and the championship
from the National league. He is not
talkative. but these are known to be
his opinions of his chances in 1914:
Picking the winner OF Il base bali
championship before the season starts
is just about as easy as trying to
hut the chances arc. largely against
you. Every club has q quantity Of
material which it takes south in the
spring and nj one, not even the man,
aSer himself. knows just how the re.
cruits will perform in fast company.
They may appear to be world heaters
in early practice and then"blowup"
when it ZONES down to the real task
in the championship race or they may
have the goods and the manager fail
to realize ii.
For instance. | have several young
sters with me in Florida who bear the
earmarks Of ball players, but 1 would
he foolish to claim that l hav another
Eddie Collins or Eddie Plank. Time
alone car tell the truth and all we can
do is to try to develop whatever latent
talent the youngsters possess and hopel
that there is enough material there to-
furnish real players.
So far as the Athletics are concern.
cd ! have not much doubt but that we
will again lead the chase at the end
of the season, although 1t Is not a GER
tainty. We Won the worlds cham.
pionship in 1911 and were looked up
on a sure winner in 1912, yet we did
not even win the pennant in our own
league. That shows the uncertainty of
baseball and l believe in proceeding
along the lines of fighting for every
game. One counts just az much as
another and If the men try to win all
their games there is no room for eN.
cuse at the end.
Whether my players will stand uE
under the strain Is a question which:
I cannot answer. Personally. I hope
and think that they will, but 1t must
pitchers-Bender and Plank-are no
longer youngsters and "Father Time"
will take his toll when he is ready.
Should they go along as we'll as last
year / cannot see how we are to be
beaten, despite the strengthened con
dition of our rivals. I have practically
the same team as last year and we
hope that Coombs will be able to help
us out this season. Last year he was
i'll and could not play. But his ply
sicians say that there appears to be no
reason why he should not recover his
strength and form.
My infield. of which I am justly
proud. remains the same n I don't
know how 1 would improve upon it
even If l so desired. McInnis. Collins,
Barry. and Baker are all young play
lers and should grow steadier with
a succeeding year. They work to-
gether in perfect harmony and UNDER
stand one another so we'll that / do
not have to bother with them at all.
] look for a hard race this year.
with some probable surprises, but cx-
cept for accidents or illness l feel rea-
|sonably sure that the American league
gonfalon will again float at Shibc
Park in 1914.

CONNIE and O'DAY Joke
AS BATTERY, But ARE BIG
SUCCESS AS TEAM PILOTS

Tha playing ability is not neces-
sary in order to be q good manager
Of a baseball team has often been
asserted. and now Connie Mack and
Hank O'Day are put forth as shining
examples to prove the contention.
Connie Mack was only q mediocre
the bat. Now he is considered the
greatest leader in the game, il not
the premier manager in the history
Of h national game. Hank O'Day,
as a pitcher, was a pretty good base
ball player.
Connie and the new leader of the
once famous Chicago Cubs were bat
.ery mates many years 6 AS d
battery there was nothing in the
makeup to stamp them as a pair noted
for genius or prowess. As q matter
of fact, when O'Day and Mack were
due for the heavy work, the oppose
ton had little to worry about. The
last year Hank and Connie were to-
gether was with the Washington club
in 1889.

The catching staff also appears to be

of the best catchers in the minors, and
on the playing managers recommen-

can get the right start, there is every

Despite tho fact that he has called
