COMMERCIALS TO PLAY
BENTON HARB0R TEAM
Locals Are Handicapped Through In
ability to Hold Regular
Practice.

The Benton Harbor Independents
will be the Commercial Athletic clubs
opponents in a basketball game to-
night While Manager Talcott of the
local quintet has had no word of the
Benton HarbOr teams ability. he looks
forward TO a tight game on account
of the South Bend five's lack Of prac-
tice this week. The gymnasium has
been used for other purposes and as
a result the team has had no chance
to even throw goals.
The team will probably line up
with Fauber and Cassidy at the for
ward positions, PaXson, Winkler and
Stevenson at the guards and Steely at
center. This is practically the lineup
that romped away from the St Jo-
seph Young Mems association two
weeks ago and il is thought that ii is
the best arrangement Of the available
material
The game will be called promptly
at s o'clock and Clyde Haeske will
referee.

COLLINS PICKED
BY COBB As TIE
MOST DANGEROUS
Eddie Has a Habit of Cracking
Out Drives at riticaI Times
Says Detroit StaT-FearS
Walter Johnson.

DETROIT. Jan. 3-Ty Cobb says
Eddie Collins is the m 81 dangerous
batter in baseball. Here's how the
Georgian figures it out:
The first time ! saw Eddie Collins
play, which was in 1906. when ne was
appearing with the Athletics under
the name OF Eddie Sullivan and was
still IN college, he did not look like
hitter. Today he is probably the most
dangerous in baseball as his work in
the last worlds series showed. ] con-
slider him to be far more valuable to
team than Jackson or even Baker.
He Is a wonderfully scientific batter
and takes advantage Of every flaw Of
the defence, driving the ball at holes
in the infieId when a baseman goes to
cover and frequently OutgucSsing the
Outfielders by placing his drives. Col
Inns also has developed great form, as
is shown by the speed at which he
pushes out the ball. He is not physi-
cally robust, yet he gets his whole
body into his swing in such a way
that the drives go from his bat like
a rifle shot. He busts them as hard
as any man in the league, l believe.
Harry Davis, once weak with the
stick, became a dangerous batter un-
der Connie Mack. Harry was no bat
ter at all when he joined the Attn
letics. but now he is one OF the best
on the team in a pinch. Jimmy
Walsh was known as a sucker on a
curve ball at first, but under Mack
Lee got so he could hit curves better
than fast ones, although he is not
great batter yet. And so the Athletics
go.
This batting strain year after year
Is too much OF good thing, especial

THEY CAN'T BELIEVE
THIS IN RED TOWN
Early YingIing, Former Central Star,
Glad He Has Been Sent
to Cincinnati

CINCINNATI, Jan. 3.-Earl Wing
ling, the left-handed pitcher who will
be purchased from Brooklyn, motor
ed down from his home at Lebanon.
o., TO Cincinnati, when he heard that
that city was to be his future baseball
home. Yingling astonished all whom
he encountered. This amazing young
man actually said he was pleased with
the deal and would gladly come to
Cincinnati.
He did not say that he refused to
stand for the deal.
He did not state that he would play
in New York or Boston. but not here.
He did not give notice that his sal
airy would be S77,700.
He did not say that he must have
part of the purchase money.
He did not announce that he was
going to Join the Federal league.
What's the matter with him, any
how?
Mr.. Yingling is a distinct accession
TO any Club-a gentlemanly athlete
who is am bitious and has the goods
as well. He was the only National
league pitcher who was constantly
used as a pinch hitter last summer,
and he surely pinched 'em some, 3S3
for the season.

Is UP TO CASHION
TO SAVE HIMSELF
Griffith Will Let His Twirler Use His
Underhand System This
Season.

E-anager Griffith's decision to allow
Carl Cashion TO pitch in his natural
way, which is an underhand delivery,
recalls the experience of Overall who
was a star for the Cubs for years.
overall was originally brought from
the coast by the Cincinnati club. He
was an underhand and side-arm pitch
er, but Ned Hanlon who was then
managing that team. tried to change
him to an overland deliverer and Ov-
erall proved a failure. He was traded
to Chicago where Frank Chance al
lowed him to pitch as he had before
he joined Cincinnati, and the result
was that Overall developed into a
star.
Cashion won his first game for the
Nationals. 1t was a contest with Ed
Walsh in which Cashion was very eff
fective. He was an underhand pitch
er then, but an effort was made TO
teach him to pitch overland, which
has not brought about desired results.
Griffith is going 10 let him pitch in his
own way next season and it would not
be at all surprising if he developed in
TO a valuable pitcher.

MURPHY SERVES
NOTICE ON MEN
Will Take Case to Court if They
Desert the Cubs and Sign
With Any Team in the Fed
eraI League.

CHICAGO, Jan. s. Charles W.
Murphy, president of the Chicago Ma
tiOnal league baseball club, Friday
served notice on the ball players I'M
der contract with the club, that he
would take legal steps to prevent them
if any players should desert to the
Federal league. Letters were mailed
TO each man on the club roster noti-
flying him that he was expected to full
fill the contract held by the club.
The Chicago club" Murphy wrote,
not only has a moral but a legal
right TO your services. This is TO in
form you that this right will be pro-
tected to the fullest extent of the law.
IF necessary, we Will upon the
advice of counsel, fight from the low
est civil court in the land to the
highest. One thing is sure and that is
no player who jumps his contract and
that includes the legal option to re-
serve his services and all other parts
as we'll, will be allowed to play else
where.
"In other words. if the Chicago Ma
tionaI league club is raided by per-
sons having the instinct Of pirates, the
law of the land will be invoked for
its protection"

FASTENERS ARE SORRY

Followers of Football Think He is
One of the Games Great
est stars

Eastern football fans are giving
vent 10 their regrets that Harvard
didn't schedule a game with Michigan
for the 1913 season so that they nigh
have seen Jimmy Craig.
1T is matter of regret that Jimmy
Craig will not be in the lineup Of the
Michigan eleven when il comes easJ
next fall. We would like 10 see this
man. who made the Michigan team
what il was this fall. in action" says
Sportsman in the Boston Globe.
Craig is the biggest man in the west
as the football heroes are seen
through eastern eyes. The fact that
he could make a position on Walter
Camps All-American team with
BriCkley and AIahan makes aim ap-
pear even more wonderful To eastern
than 10 western fans. Neither pro-
phet nor football player gets as
much honor on his own field OF play
as in distant parts Of fandOm.

SChoOI-JuniorS Have Edge
on Senior Players.

Fast. hard fought games featured
the opening round of the interclass
basketball tournament held at the
high school gymnasium Friday after
noon. The juniors downed the SEN
iors % to p, while the first year
men walloped the sophomores % to
seven.
The junior-senior contest was the
star attraction &C the afternoon. Both
teams played consistent ball. and
rushed the game at all times. Fer
nandez, Berger and Egan were the
shining lights of the tilt in the scor-
ing line. Egan is a new man TO bask-
etball circles, but played a sensation
al game at forward, the second half.
Berger alternated between forward
and guard and was equally good at
either position. Fernandez was in
dividual point winner Of the day,
scoring six baskets and four free
throws.
The neutrality-suspicious. contest
was too one-sided to be very inter
esting. The 'freShies" completely
outclassed the "sophs" in all phases
of the game and deserved a victory.
Capt Sousley Of the freshmen was the
star of this battle. The little man
was good at counting, scoring three
field goals and two fouls.
