BOOKS CLOSE FOR
HEADP|N TOURNEY
So Many Teams Now Entered
That Such Action Is
Necessary.

1t has been found necessary to close
the books for The Star headpin
tournament, which will end April II.
More teams than can probably be
cared for have already sent in their
entries, and as the competition must
end April il no more bowlers can be
booked. The big competition will be
larger this season than 1t was last,
In spite of the fact that the period
during which it is held has been
shortened about q month. This means,
of course, that more teams bowl each
night. Not far from 5000 bowlers, ap-
parently, will bowl this season.
The Lackawanna League bowlers,
under the direction of John O'Hara,
are to have a special night tonight.
These bowlers are always out strong
for The Star headpin tournament, and
they always make lots of good scores.
1t will be their sixth annual special
night in the big competition.
There were eight teams from the
Young Mems Association, Of Bayonne,
and two from the Liberty Club, of
Jersey City, on the job in The Star
headpin tournament on the Iroquois
alleys last night. Three of these
rolled well enough to take the silver
watchfobs offered by The Star to
those with scores between 100 and 10.
These were: George Goddard, 106;
John T. Paytcn, 102, and James Della

COLUMBUS. Ca, March tS.-All In

always interested in the success of
performers who advance to the big
leagues every spring. For this rea-
son news from the training camps o.
big league clubs is closely watched
According to advices from Gulfport
Miss. where the Detroit Tigers are
training, Ray Demmitt. formerly of
Montreal has made a big hit with
Hughey Jennings. In the past DEM
mitt says he used to swing hard on
the ball, and while with the New
York Yankees he was constantly hit
ting "batters' delights" which are
easy flies to gobble up. When Ray
was shipped to Montreal he calmly
determined to work his way back to
fast company, and accordingly, he
started chopping the ball with so
much success that he is now in an
excellent way of working alongside
of Ty Cobb and Sam Crawford, or at
least of getting the job of utility out
fielder on the Detroit team.

SHERROD SMITH WORKING
HARD TO EARN TIGER JOB

now believe that Stallings got cold
feet when he learned that Harry
Smith would pitch Beanie Hall In
the first game, just as predicted in
these columns q few days ago. At
least that Is what they are telling
Hall. Staliings offered to play New
ark on Saturday, one week from to-
morrow, but the Tigers are scheduled
to face Brooklyn at Augusta, In the
first of three-game series, on that
day, so only one game will be played
with Boston.
President Charles H. Ebbets, jr.,
of the Newark Club, wired today that
Boston and Newark had two games
scheduled. He will probably object
to the cancellation and can force
Stallings to play.
Too Cold for Practise.
Practise here yesterday was out of
the question because of the cold
weather Instead the Tigers took a
long hike over hill and dale. During
the hike Johnny Enzmann lost his
championship medal, presented 20
him on the day of the pennant cele-
bration last fall. He was very much
chagrined and will muster up a posse
today to search for the lost trophy.
Kid Mummy Entertains,
The Tigers were the guests last night
of Kid Mummy, the waiter boxer and
rubber. Mummy gave a boxing ex-
hlbition at local darkey celebration.
He boxed against Young Langford. a
local boy, and outpointed him. Mummy
is extremely popular with the Tigers
because he is unusually smart, has
Travelled considerably and has trained
many famous boxers, including Joe
Cans and Jack Johnson. He is anx-
ious to obtain job as trainer with
the Tigers.

sherrod smith watches Bases.

Sherrod Smith is likely TO catch
many runners off the initial cushion
this season. He has great move
and the runners hang close to first
when he is pitching. A southpaw nat
urally has an advantage at first base
in checking runners from getting a
lead and nipping them off the bags.
Manager Smith is coaching Sherrod
on the art of whirling and picking
men off second base, most difficult
feat for a left-hander.

schacht Keeps Harry Smith Busy.

One of the hardest tasks Manager
Smith has this spring is that of tying
down AL. Schacht. AL. is always cut
ting loose. When he is not pitching
in practise, he is handling the ball In
the infield. and he shapes UP very
nicely at any of the positions. Eddie
Zimmerman says that Schacht would
be a crackerjack infielder or utility
man, if he could hit. That is just the
trouble Clever fielders put in all of
their time fielding. while good batters
care only about hitting the ball. If
AL would bat consistently, instead
of taking chance on injuring his
arm, by making throws from the va
rious infield positions, he might be a
most valuable utility man.
