SHECkARD SOME JUMPER.
Fans Experienced Difficulty in Keep

Whenever the subject of war in
baseball crops up which happens fire.
qucntly these days-one can't help
thinking about the case of james
Sheckard, former Chicago cub.
1t was during the dark and gloomy
days when the American league was
WaGing its bitter fight with the Ma
t!onal. Players were jumping right
and lcft-ncarly every day bringing up
a new sensation. First one league
would smile and then would grit its
teeth on the following day, because
of some slip which seemed fatal at
that particular time.
Jim Sheckard jumped on eight sep
aratC and distinct occasions. He holds
all worlds records in this respect.
Shccll was wonderful fielder then,
and much sought for His experiences
were most unique. The two clubs he
alternatcd between were Brooklyn
of the Nationals and Baltimore of the
Americans.
Fans would pick mp the newspaper
one morning ana read the following:
"Shcckard of Brooklyn made two
hits against the Giants yesterday. lie
has decided tY remain with the Ma
tiunulS"
ON IN, owing dan the newspaper
would say
"Sheckard OF Baltimore, who has
signed with the American league,
made a sensational catch Off his shoe
strings lie has decided To- remain in
the younger league
Then he would he with Brooklyn in

SUCCESSOR FOR THORPE.
Gilbert Richie, Southern Champion,
Groored for Jim Place.

\ \ worthy successor to the title Of
Jim Thorpe as the foremost all-around
athlete has, according to Secretary
Beudetto of the Southern Amateur
| Athletic Union, been discovered in the
person of Gilbert Richie Of the Bir-
mingham Athletic club of Birming-
ham, Ala, the present holder of the
southern all-around championship. Ac-
| cOrding to Beudetto, who is said to
know good athlete when ne sees one
/ Richie. who is a big boy, is yet TO be
developed lie is - years old. and
gives every promise of making one of
/ the best all-around men in America.
lie is already being groomed for a
place on the American team which Will
represent the United states in the
, Olympic games at Berlin in 1916. Al
though Ritchie's specially seems To be
with the weights ne has developed
enough in the past 10 be considered u
contender in the next national all
around championships If the Amateur
| Athletic Union. He has steadily in
creased his marks i'm the Southern all
around events, and his club is cnthus-
| iastic over The prospects of sending
him North TO compete against the
country's best in the premier titular
contests.
In 1911 Fred 9. Thompson OF Los
Angeles, representing Princeton Uni
versity, won over a strong field at Chi
, cago. Last year the Indian Thorpe,
, afterwards disqualified as an amateur,
won the title and was declared the
greatest athlete the world had ever
produced. and now it is ihc aim of the
Southcrncrs to lay claim To the honor
with Richie. AcCordn" to Secretary
Bendetto. a glance at the records COM
piled show that Richie Is spccdier than
Thompson i'm the century dash; better
than Thorpe in the half mile walk;
gets greater distance than both
Thompson and Thorpe in the sixteen
pound hammer goes higher than
Thompson in the pole vault, and faster
than both men at the ohc-mile run.
He was selected on two occasions to
represent the South in national cham
pionships at Pittsburgh and Chicago
and each time came within small mar
gins of winning junior events and only
last year was beaten in the nifty six
pound weight 10y a fraction of an inch
10y much bigger man.
He is credited with doing 5:11 for
the mile. which beats the time of
Thorpe of 5:26 and Thompson's record
of j:iI The records show that i'm Rit-
chic's first efforts in the Southern ALL
around nc won the mile IN $50. and i'm
1911 he covered the distance i'm go
Is, and now comes through with 5:l7.
which is indeed remarkable. His weak
est point is in the high hurdles, and if
he can he made to improve his work
over the sticks he will probably attain
the position So eagerly desired by his |
Southern admirers.

offering private training camps t.

order that the teams of the various
countries may reside in the desired Sc
Clusion, with their own cooks and
training tables, and with an athletic
field adjacent, the committee has Sc
cured a large plot of land in tn"
Gruenwald pine forest, almost at ,lc
doors of the Stadium, and is now ap-
preaching the participant nations with
an offer to pay II portion of the cost
of erecting and furnishing the houses
and its help in disposing of them after
