The Pacific Northwest was the
happy hunting grounds of scouts Tor
major league ball teams last summer.
Making the rounds OF the spring train
ting camps, 1t seems as II one were
back along the Sound country. One
sees so many familiar faces among
the recruits and recent additions TO
the major league forces.
Whether they grow them up there.
whether the climate brings ont what
il in them. or what not, the fact re-
mains that the little old Northwestern
has furnished the majors with more
recruits and more promising ones this
season than any league in the country.

teaches them himself. or possibly he

With the Tigers getting set for their
trip north preliminary to starting the
1914 baseball season. only one thing
II needed to make the club one OF the
leaders In the American league PEN
nant race. according to Tyrus Cobb.
the worlds greatest baseball player.
That one thing IL enthusiasm--the
wins games In the ninth inning.
II believe that Detroit has a very
good chance to have q winning team
this season." said Cobb today. From
what have seen Of the youngsters
there Is material for some great
pitching this season. The whole
pitching stan Is composed OF young
men who have their baseball great
ness before them. Imagine calling
men like Hall and Dauss veterans as
We have to! They are just beginning
to show their worth In the big league
Il like Burns. Purtell and Kav
anagh In the in1eld. They are all
youngsters with lots of ambition.
These men are fellows whom you
couldn't possibly keep out Of base
ball. II the baseball player had to
pay for the privilege OF playing, these
lads would be baseball players. They
love the game and they can't keep ont
of 1t. These are the men who make
the greatest successes. You can talk
about your players who are out for
the money alone and their value. but
1t doesn't compare with the value or
the players who are out for the game.
These young fellows have the am
bition and they will work their hearts
out trying to make good while man
who Is in the game for the coin alone
is more likely to get discouraged and
quit. Give these new men little BIT
to be enthusiastic about, and they
will make things hum.
II arm hoping that It will be pos
sible for Manager Jennings to keep
the club intact this season and not
be trying out youngsters ut various
positions as he was forced to do last
year. To take q man out OF his posi-
ton and put another in II. throws the
entire team OF It's stride. and the less
of 1t there Is, the better. or course,
In season such as Detroit had last
year. II IL Essential to try out young
sters when the opportunity presents
itself.
THE Athletics look the strongest
to me in the 1914 chase. However.
don't by any means concede Wash
ington second place In the race. The
Nationals are too weak hitting team
to be conceded any place like that.
OF course, Walter johnson II . great
power to the club but he can't do
everything for them.
"There will he four cluha that wifi

interest will center on the struggle
for second place this year with De-

JOHN NORRIS IS DEAD
AFTER LONG ILLNESS

NEW YORK. March 2l.-John Nor
ris, widely known newspaper man, bust
ness manager of the New York Times
and leader OF the American Newspaper
Publishers association s campaign for
free paper and wood pulp, died late to-
day at his home in Brooklyn. He had
been in poor health for several months.
John Norris, born in Philadelphia,
son of a union soldier who was killed
in the battle OF Gettysburg. was grad
uated from Girard college and soon aft
erward entered the newspaper profess
sion, joining the staff OF the Philadel-
phia Press, aftcrward going to the
Times and then to the Record, OF
which he became successively city edi-
tor and manager. Coming to New York
he was for several years personal rep
resentative OF Joseph Pulitzer, owner
of the World. In 1900 he became busi-
ness manager of the Times.
Mr. Norris, who had for some time
been chairman OF the print paper and
wood pulp committee Of the American
signed in June, 1908, from his post with
the Times to take charge Of the cam
paign made by the association for free
paper and wood pulp, That fight was
won on July %, 1911. when the Cana
dian reciprocity bill was passed by the
senate. 1t was provided that one sec
tion of the bill, relative to the impor-
ration of wood pulp and print paper,
should 90 into effect as soon as Presi.
dent Taft affixed his signature, and was
not to be subject to the condition i'm
posed on other sections, namely, that
Canada must reclprocate.
