KISSIMMEE SPURNS FEDS.
Florida Town Does Not Want In
dianapolis Team to Train There.

NEW YORK, December 25.-The In
dianapolis base ball club, winner of
the Federal League pennant last year.
is having hard time obtaining train
ing quarters for the spring. J. Edward
Krause, president of the club, recently
announced a change in the clubs plans
for early training and stated that in
stead of fitting the coliseum at the
state fair grounds near Indianapolis
with heating plant, shower baths
and other necessary apparatus. the
board of directors of the club has de-
cided it would be better to go south.
President Krause. who owns and oc-
cupies for a certain period of each
year a plantation near Kissimmee. Fla,
thought it would be a fine arrange
ment to take the Fed champs to that
hamlet. and he communicated with the
chamber of commerce there. but he
was rudely disappointed when that or
ganization refused to send any assur-
ances that his champions would be
welcome. Mr.. Krause thought that he
would be able to spend few weeks at
his plantation and at the same time
keep a watchful eye on his ball toss
erS.
Kissimmee did not desire the pub
licity that would accompany the tenn
porary location of a professional base
ball club in its midst. and Mr.. Krause
is now trying to make arrangements
at st. Petersburg OF Jacksonville. Last
year the st. Louis Browns trained at
st. Petersburg, but picked Houston.
Tex, as the training grounds this year.

A basket ball team made up Of several
Georgetown alumni will challenge the
present Blue and Gray varsity quint for
a game to take place some time in Febru-
ary. The idea of such a contest was
broached some time ago. but some doubt
was expressed as to whether or not the
alumni could get together a five capable
of giving the well trained varsity men
hard game. Prof Maurice Joyce of the
Carroll Institute stated that he would
undertake the task, and the following
players will probably represent the gradu-
ates: Jim Colifiower and Downey, for
wards; Rice, center; Schlosser and George
Oollifower, guards. These men will be-
gin to get in condition right away, and
claim they will do whole lot better
than anybody expects
AS matter of fact, it would not be
big surprise if the alumni team were to
win from the Blue and Gray. OF course.
1t is difficult for a team to get together
in a short while, or to get the players
in good condition., but it must be re-
membered that these men at one time
formed one of the greatest basket ball
teams Georgetown ever had. Many have
styled Fred Rice as the greatest center

Judged on what the eight teams OF
the American League show on paper.
the next pennant race ought to be one
i of the most interesting and hardest
fought in the history of the league.
The change made in the Athletics by
the sale Of Collins and the releasing
of Plank and Bender is sure TO create
the impression that one of the other
teams will have a chance next year. a
condition which has not been preva-
lent for many q day.
That Boston team which demon
strated last season that it could beat
the Athletics Is sure to cut decided
figure In the race. In eact. the Car
rigan outfit is pretty sure to be In
stalled favorites in the coming nag
race.
But the race is not going to be easy.
The acquisition of Eddie Collins by the
White Sox makes that team con-
tender and there is no getting away
from the fact that the Detroit Tigers
must be given serious consideration.
There also are reasons for believing
that the Nationals have better chance
than ever before. The return of john
son to the fold, together with the fact
tnaC Ine young are ali sure
to show improvement. helps the defen-
sive end of the aggregation a lot, and
with the possibility of Henri Rondeau
adding offensive strength the team
seems in a fair way to be more for
midable than it ever has been before.
Wally Schang's weakness in tipping
off his signs to the pitcher are blamed
for the defeat of the Athletics in the
world series. Schang broke into base
ball under George Stallings at Buff
falo. Stallings knew all of the young
ster's weaknesses, and just as soon as
it became apparent that his team would
have to play the Athletics for the world
title he sent his scout over to watch
Schang.' The report came back that
Schang still changed his position every
time he wanted curve ball to be
pitched, and 1t was this failing which
the Braves batters allowed to guide
them and enabled them to bat Mack's
pitchers hard.

Tommy Long, the outfelder who for
several years has been on the Wash
jngton clubs reserve list, though he
has played all this time with the At
ianta club, sent in his signed contract
TO Manager Griffith this morning. Long
had splendid year at Atlanta, hitting
well and showing marked ability as an
outfielder. But it is not likely that he
will be given a chance with the Ma
iionals next spring, though some other
major league club may use him. Sew
eral clubs in the American and National
League have refused to waive on Long
and it is likely that Manager Griffith will
turn him over to one of these clubs for
The waiver price.
Long is good hitter and fast man, but
he is too weak thrower to be of value
to most teams, hence Griffith is not apt
to carry him
The acquisition of Sherwood Magee to
the champion Braves gives that team
one of the best hitters the game has ever
developed. A good hitter was what
Stallings needed TO help his chances to
repeat in the next race. Joe Connolly
was the only one of the Braves to hit
over 800 last season and he was not
played regularly because he is lamentably
weak against left handed batters. Ma
gee will fill big hole in the Boston out
field and under Stallings probably will
play the best ball OF his career BY add
ing Magee to his outfit Stallings will
greatly strengthen his teams offensive
strength and materially increase his
rhances for winning another pennant in
1915.
According to a dispatch from Chi

that he has heard nothing from Penn
State College in the way of a PROPOSE
tion to coach its foot ball team. and
that SO far as he knows there is no
foundation for the report that negoti-
ations have been entered into with him
to obtain his services for the next three
years. Brickley said he had not been
approached by any one representing
Penn State, and, as a matter of fact,
had had no direct offer from any COL
lege for his services as a foot bah
coach. He, however, had received of
fers indirectly from several other insti-
tutions, but had not made up his mind
yet as to what he would do regarding
them.

OPEN GOLF TOURNEY.

NEW YORK, December 25.-Proba-
bly, never before in the history of .he
game in this country has so much
early interest been displayed in a ma
tional open golf championship tourna-

Hills and Baltusrol clubs are keen for

city Golf Club and the Wilmington
Country Club are ready to handle the
open or either of the other champion
ships should the United States Golf
Association so decide.

Baltusrol Golf Club, learned that the

time it would conduct itself in a dig

vantages of this club are too well
known not to be appreciated by the
golfers in general. He also contends
that in a way the club is entitled to
the championship. Furthermore, Kel-
ler does not think Fox Hills ought to
try to get two big championships the
same season.
While all eyes are turned toward the
two clubs in question it may be as well
not to overlook Garden City. A promf-
nent golfer said last night that he had

LOST IN TREES.-Of all the
shots in golf the most dishearten-

strikes a tree and is lost forever

In some way or other a ball

the human eye cannot detect it,
unless it comes his way or drops
straight down.
While trees have little place on
a golf course, and then only along
