Youngsters Cut Loose.

Some of the youngsters have been
cutting loose, and Manager Smith
feared that they might develop sore
arms. He threatened to follow
Hughey Jennings's training methods
while the youngsters Payner, Erhard,
Dion and Thompson held the infield
for practise. Jennings takes the in
fielders' gloves away from them, so
the other fellows will not throw hard.

Getz Going Great.

Gus Getz's fielding was one of the

been playing ball all season. Nothing

handle, and at bat Gus showed the
pill for more than one ride.

international League Fast.

I think the International comes as
close to being a big league as any or
ganization in the country. The only
difference between the majors and
the International is that most of the
big league clubs have couple of
stars apiece. The rest of the players
are no better and no worse than the
International Leaguers.
If every big league club was COM
posed of men like Cobb. Wagner. La
joie. Speaker, Eddie Collins, Baker,
Wheat, Johnson. Rucker, Mathewson.
jackson and the other celebrities OF
the national pastlme, I would say
that the majors were faster than the
International League. But these stars
are so widely scattered that as a
whole there is little to choose between
the majors and any of the first di-
vision International League clubs.
Newsrk's Showing Proof
think the showing that the New
ark club has made against Brooklyn
and other major league teams proves
how little difference there is between
the leagues. Those Brooklyn fellows
would like to beat us as much as we
would like to trounce them. You
will have a chance to get line pretty

| league calibre in the exhibition games

Tigers Should Repeat This Year.
/ think we will be as good as ever
this year If things break right. I
look for George Bell to pitch better
ball than ever, and with Bell on the
mound and Curtiss going good along
with out other twirlers, there is no
cause to worry on that score. Like

and we are the club that Baltimore

consecutive year that Princeton has
captured the college title. Princeton

o,Day,s Run and hit Play.

4 report sent out by some young
scribe from the training camp of the
Chicago Cubs down in Florida caused
n ripple of mirth among the Tigers
today. The story said Hank O'Day,
successor to Johnny Evers, has sub
stituted a run and hit play for the
old hit and run. 1t is very nice for
an experienced baseball player to
help protect the runner If the player
himself is not in a hole, but nine
times out of ten the batter can judge
better than the base runner what the
pitcher is going to shoot over, and
for this very reason he should give
the signal, making it a hit play in
stead of a run and a hit, which 1t
would be if the base runner gave the
signal.

Combination.
tFrom star Correspondent of the New
ark Evening Starr
COLUMBUS, Ga, March 4.-Man-
ager Harry Smith. OF the Tigers, was
so much impressed with the work of
Zach Erhard yesterday that he or
dered the youngster to work out at
first base in the drill to be held to-
day.
Smiths order does not necessarily
imply that Thompson and George
Smith are not capable of filling the
bill in the exhibition games, out
Harry is anxious to find the young
ster's weakness, if Erhard has any.
SO far Zach has shown remarkable
!. skill at every position. Just Tor
few minutes he practised around the
initial sack. and he mystified and
supplied the handful of spectators by
switching his glove to right hand and
throwing as gracefully and as ac-
curately with his left wing as he had
been doing with his right arm.
Erhard Has the Markings.
Tt is Manager Smiths opinion just
now that Zach will make good
utility man if he can TT or field in
regular games, as he does in practise,
and the chances are that he will, for
he has the actions of real ball
PLAYER. A 1eft-hander who could fill
in acceptably at first base would suit
Harry Smith very much. and even II
Erhard failed to stick this year he
could be farmed out for future de-
velopment. He is one of the best
prospects of the group of recruits,
and every youngster in camp is show
ing more or less baseball ability.
Erhard Two-Handed Thrower.
Zach Erhard, as has been told, can
throw with either arm and his field
ing short and second base has been
so uniformly good that the opinion OF
most of the men here is that Erhard
is a marvel. He bats left-handed and
can ,bunt as scientifically as any of
tine regulars, which is big asset,
Manager Smith figures that the less
he has to teach a youngster the more
valuable that man is to him right at
n time when he has other things to
worry about besides utility f1elders.
TooIey in Form.
Another player who is also showing
in great form right now is our old
friend Albert Too1ey. Bert makes the
infield look like a big league COM
bination. His speed and dash give
life and zest to the workouts, and it
mas pretty sight to see Eddie Zim-
norman, Tooley and Getz working
together. George Smith handled the
bulb at first base for the regulars
Yesterday. Smith gives promise of
developing into a good professional
wher the rough edges are worn off.
Weather Ideal in South.
The weather here yesterday was
ideal for baseball The sun shone
down warmly all day with very little
? wind to bother the players. The fear
that the Blizzard up North would
hit Columbus was groundless. At the
same time reports OF the fire in the
Newark grand stand at Wiedenmay-
er's Park caused much concern

TOO MUCH FOR
THE NATIONALS

The All-Americans jumped into the
lead after Saturdays game at Moiliili
field. A rafting good Saturday crowd,
but not as good as that of the opening
Thursday, saw Slst contest in which
King" Co:o of the Highlanders pitch
ed against Jim Vaughn of the Chicago
Cubs.
The Americans put man across in
the first when Walsh and Lewis hit
safely in succession. the former COM
ing home when Miller juggled Chap
mans grounder.
The All-Nationals pulled even in the
first of the fourth, Carey getting to
first on Boone's error, and stealing
second. The next two were out on in
field grounders and then Fred Snod-
grass came through with a hit that
brought the run across.
The tie was broken in the other
half of the frame when Chapman
found one to his liking and put it over
the fence. Two hits and an error
meant another run for the Americans
in the seventh. in the eighth pass,
a sacrifice and a wild pitch put Lewis
on third and he scored minute later
on Chapman's sacrifice fly to right.
The Nationals didn't get within sniff
ing distance of the plate in the last
four frames.
The game was high-class baseball.
but not as exciting as that of Thurs
day or Sunday Both pitchers were
rather generous with passes and both
contributed a wild pitch. Cole had a
lot of stuff and was only touched for
three singles, which came in the third
fourth and fifth innlngs.
