PERSONAL TOUCHES IN SPORT

Dja ever play that game O Rhum?
Most guys, guess, have played it some.
It's funny how it goes. You have a card
not worth a rap and chuck it. Zip!
Some other chap Just snaps it up an
throws. Well. iumpn' to the baseball
yard, Dick Rudolph seems to be that
card an MIsSsy laid it down. For Stall
inGs played next to McGraw. When
MuE=s discarded, stallings' paw snagged
Dick for Boston town.
Dicks right arm got to workn' fine
in Canada in 1909 with Of Toronto's crew.
Tho Giants grabbed him off next year,
but MusEsy soon began to fear ne
wouldn't ever do. So cut adrift, DICK
loated round till last year when the
Braves boss found that he could use
his slants. Dick pitched right in. took
off his coat an got aboard the sinkin'
boat. II gave the one big chance.
An chance il was. Jus take a pike
at how that team began to hike when
Dick got on his stride. Those nine big
wins that he copped straight sure size

played Surely enough 10 satisfy the
appetites Of the most eNacting followers,
An athletic Moses Ike James E. Sulli-
van does not develop in a life time, and
II viii take many a year before his place
Is filled In the hearts OF American ath-
letes That is tribute enough for a great
man.
The Federal League still has its eye
open for PLAYERS Of the National League
The latest planned raid Is directed toward
the Cubs. Tommy Leach Is the PLAYER
concerned, The Feds claim that II the
Chicago National League management
does not award an iroR-Clad three-year
contract TO the ouJdelder he will jump.
Hans Lobert is the only man on the
Philadelphia club who is talked oi In
connection with the Feds When ques-
states that he hasn't signed with the
Phules vet for 1915. But whether he is
seriously considering an offer or not is a
matter Of speculation Possibly Hans in
tends 10 go and possibly ne has NJ such
intention
Eddie Morgan, featnerweIght boxer
has landed in this country from London
Eng Morgan's advent nils the hearts
Of the fans with a longing 20 see aim in
action with johnnie ki.bane and others.
Very likely Morgan will fight the others
before he is taken seriously.
You will have to blame this on George
E. Phair:
THE WORST Is YET TO COME,
Europes fighting men are falling,
And the losses are appalling,
And tho wales Of Europe ring With /
women's cries;
But the European battle
VIII be tame as childish prstt.s
When our football correspondents r
mobilize.
There is rcauy no reason why the
Athletics or the owners Of the local .
American League club should pull for
the New York Giants To win out this
year rather than the Braves They take
H. or at least the majority Of them do
that the gate receipts would he larger .
in New York than they would be in .
Boston, but the figures of 1912 and 1913
show thar there is very little difference .
In 1912 the Red SoN and Giants had
81 6s3 paid admissions at Fenwsy Park
for the NTH game Of the series. At .
the Polo Grounds last October the larg-
ssl paid attendance at the Athletic
Giant contest was }6,5S3 This proves .
that there is not enough difference In
