BIG LEAGUE
 RACES STILL
 LOOK STRANGE

Wfth the season Of 1914 almost six weeks old, dtsis becoming obvious that |thfs will be a sreFaarkab1e season. The Ecliabss are payiag nosaftention to what |fhe dopesterss said of them, and they are playing just about as they please. The five poorest teams in the big leagues last year were the Cardinals. Reds, Browns, Yankees and Tigers, yet here is this quintet fighting tooth and to remain i'm t1e first diyts- ion. The Tigers have been leading the A1sferican league for a. month, while the Reds are actually threaten ing to knock somebody out of the lead in the National league.
 At the present time the Reds are go- ing faster than any team In the land, land Charley Herzog deserves every bit |of praise which the fans all over the country are bestowing upon him.
 Herzog started out under the worst possible conditions He took over a team which has been 3 joke for nine years, and one which was 2. failure Eurder such clever baseball tacticians as Ned Hanlon, Joe Kelley, Clark Grif- filth. John Ganzel Hank O'Day and Joe Tinker. Nothing was expected |of Buck and the Cincy fans would have been satisfied if he had been able to finish out of the cellar.
 After losing six straight games. the Pirates seemed to take heart after seeing what the Reds and the Cardln- als did to the Giants, and have start led a fresh winning streak, which is now five games long.
 It looked as if the Giants were marching right to the front a week |aEo after they took those three straight from the Pirates. but Gianr fans had every reason to expect more of them than they showed in Cincin- natl and St. Louis.
 The Detroit Tigers have not been doing well since they left New York They cleaned up the Yankees. but have been able to take only two out of seven games from the Red Sox and Athletics. Jennings will miss Cobb severely. and his loss was felt an the Athletic series, as ny Is always at his best against the Mackmen.
 Detroit may be knocked out Of the lead before they return home late in the week. They open a series with Grinth's Senators today. and the Old Fox is making good his pennant pre- dictions these days His team is not making many more hits Than the Yankees. burt he has so much speed on the club. that they win on a few hits.

 Pitcher Ray Williams for whom Manager Boultes of the Bridgeport club has been angling for several days. wired from his home in Elkhart. Ind.. that he would report here this after noon The local manager expects Will Hams will be a. help to the locals in the pitching department. where they need strength. Williams won 13 and lost B for Waterbury last year and twirsed many fine games. He was sent to the. Central league this season Ibut did not care to go there. He declares he is ready to take his turn lin the box. This gives Bridgeport six pitchers and one will be drop ped. Manager Boultes will not decide the man to be released until he sees Williams in action.
 The Los Angeles club of the Pacific Coast league Is making a. determined effort to get Arthur Shafer from the Giants. The tnf1elder refused to join McGraw.s men this season but his home Is in Los Angeles and he would be willing to play there. That club, which has been going poorly could use him.
 James A. Gilmore. president of the Federal league, is in New York today for a conference with his chief adyis- CTS. An extensive raid on organized baseball according to MT. Gilmore, lis planned.

ATTENDANCE FIGURES VERY DISCOUJRAGING
 TO FEDERAL LEAGUERS

According to impartial observers the four Federal League games play ed in Brooklyn, Pittsburg. Buffalo and Baltimore last Wednesday drew a. total of less than 4.60O persons, as follows: BufaIo, 2.000; Baltimore. 1.- 200; Brooklyn, 1000; Pittsburg; $50. Of this total attendance Organized Baseball agents say that 5000 paid admission to the various parks.
 The attendance figures in Balti- more are slowly dwindling. as in the days of the National and the Ameri- can League in that city. while the Buffalo International League club has already recovered enough patrons to break even in the turnstile count with the Feds in the same town.

Famous Specimens en- Of Of Ivory Conks
Harry Niles Was the Prize Pippin

When a ball player fails to do
the proper thing, he Is immedi-
ately a bone head!"
Inc most prominent @FbonE
head" is Fred Merkle, and Mer-
kle is the victim of circumstances
in failing to do the proper thing
upon two occasions, when his fail
ure spelled disaster.
The first was his failure to run
to second on Bridwell's hit, which
cost the Giants a pennant in 1908
but Merkle has testified that
in the dramatic moment when
Johnny Evers was rushing across
the Polo grounds diamond UNI
pire Emslie assured both he and
Mathewson that the game was
the Giants.
The second occasion was when
Merkle failed to go after a high
foul In the 1912 series with Bos-
ton.
But they call Merkle a bone
head" now because of his play in
the fifth game of the 1913 series.
when he really played good base
ball. The players who say Mer-
kle played correctly insist Eddie
Murphy of the Athletics pulled
the bone" when he ran home. but
escaped censure because he sue
ceeded.
One of the most famous
"bones" in baseball was John An
derson's attempt to steal third
with that base occupied.
FLAP" Meyers, the lathy Bos-
ton first baseman, pulled a
bone" when he raced from first
TO third on Wagner's sacrifice,
with two out. Boston was play
ing New York, and Hal Chase,
never dreaming Meyers would at
tempt such thing, was caught
mapping, hurried his throw TO
Austin, and as consequence the
ballescaped and Meyers scored.
Harry NileS was famous for
his "bone plays" and they sent
him from team to team and final
ly to the minors.
With Boston in 1903, against
Washington, with Boston one run
behind, two out and Danzig on
first, Niles hit to center. Niles
was one Of the speed-merchants
Of baseball and Danzig was as
slow as molasses.
But Niles. forgetting Danzig
ducked his head and started out

FARMER MODEST in
REGARD TO MATCH

Owing to the difficulty Of So
curing sparring partners, Frank
Farmer has changed his training
hours from the afternoon to the
evening. There arc number OF
boxers who work during the day
and are able to get out only In
the evening, and the logger Is
sparring with several of these.
The Kapowsin boy will be In
good condition when he meets
Bonds. For that matter, Farmer
is always In pretty good shape.
When he is not boxing, he IL eth
er working In the woods or chas-
ing through the timber with a
gun. which naturally makes him
physically fit.
The bright lights do not lure
him at all. He neither drinks
nor smokes, or engages in any of
the usual designations of the aver
age boxer. In this respect he and
Bonds are alike. Joseph does not
use tobacco, quaffs not the flow
ing bowl. and takes the best pf
care Of himself.
This is unfortunately not ofttn
the case with mitt men, but wien
Bonds and Farmer meet in tie
padded circle, the fans may reet
assured that they are seeing TITO
perfect examples OF clean livtng
and physically fit boxers in actidn
together. Gl
Farmer is not Boosting OF what
be will do with Bonds. The lbk-
ger never brags about his ability.

batting like a Tyrus Cobb.
Shortstop is in doubt, Fitzsim-
mons being gone, but Mike is

Danny Shea and Dutch Altman

Pitchers are not supposed to
be able to hit, but In McCorry
Mike has a HEAVIER who can wham

This is a trait that too few fight
ers possess.
