MADISON
HAS BEEN

Milwaukee. Wis. Feb. s.-The
American Bowling congress has with
drawn its sanction from the state
bowling tournament. now in progress
at Madison. and thereby brought con-
sternation to a group Of h 500 state
bowlera. who are thus debarred from
competing in the national bowling
tournament soon to BIO held in Buff
falo.
The state tournament provisions
are that the state tournament must
he under American bowling congress
sanction, and such sanction was
granted on conditions that the bow
lers be all members Of the national
organization. Az only thirty com-
petitors were members. and the rest
refused to Join the A. 3. C.. the eanc-
ton was withdrawn.
All those disbarred bowiere are also
barred from the Milwaukee city tour
nai1ent.

lRy Tim

Boston. Feb. 3.-There are at least
10000 able-bodied baseball players on
the market today willing to draw
down just as large IA salary las their
bali club will stand. About onc hum
dred of these come under the head sOf
stars; then ONE the second -ratets,
and last, the minor leaguers. meaning
speedy youngsters who show promise.
While the Federal league has been
with the majors for some time, they
have really secured very few Of the
stars from the big circuit. The Bos-
ton Nationals have lost Catcher Rari-
den, the Highlanders have lost Ford,
a glass arm pitcher, who worked
about three games a month. and I
can't see where Brooklyn lost, for Joe
of that team. The Athletics have
practically signed up their champions,
while the Phillies rave lost two play
ers, in Second Baseman, Knabe and
Brennan, a young left-hand pitcher.
Chicago Fails to Lose.
Going west, Pittsburg has lost Hen
bricks, Detroit has lost Willett, a very
ordinary pitcher, while Cleveland met
with a big loss in Falkenberg and
Blanding. The Chicago clubs are as
strong as ever, while the same might
be said of the two st. Louis clubs.
Cincinnati lost Tinker and Brown, but
the latter has lost his usefulness,
while Herzog will fill up the place left
vacant by Tinker.
Certainly none of the major league
clubs has been materially weakened
by the loss of. q ball player. and they
will start the 1914 season fully as
strong as ever
Up to date the major leagues have
not dropped q single drawing card.
What they have lost is several young
players who might have been de.
veloped or disposed of to the minor
leagues for a. neat price. Then, too,
conditions have forced the clubs to
pay $4,000 or $4,000 each for in
creases i'll salary. and 1 figure that by
the time the season opens each ma
lor league club will be stung by the
Federal league to the extent of $25,.
900.
Naturally the ball players who start
out with the Federal league realize
that once passed up they are out OF
organized baseball for good, and to
keep the interest keen in the league
race the Federals must naturally fig.
ure on making several changes during
the season and will have to pass up q
large number of players who fail to
make good. These players, finding
themselves out Of employment, will
not be m too friendly to the new.
conner. and this will naturally affect
the Federal leagues standing when
trying to seek new talent in the
future.
1t is a well known fact that most
of the major leaguers who have &C.
cepted contracts with the Federals
took the chance after receiving con.

1t was all right for the players to
form a combination to look after

of Attorney Dave Fultz they went too
far when they tried to regulate and

The catchers of today have it much
easier than those who held the fast
ones in days gone by. I used to get
behind the bat myself on many occa-
sions. and l know only W well what
agony a man suffered. after he had
caught a game years ago. We did not
have the facilities that our present
day catchers have.
Our hand covering consisted only
OF a buckskin glove. with the fingers
cut off. The balls came to us as
though they mac been shot out of a
cannon.
Many times our hands would be-
come SO bruised that we had to stick a
piece Of raw beef inside the glove.
The baseballs used in those days
were not like the one in use today.
They were of much coarser construc-
ton. As near as I can remember they
made them from pieces Of suspender
rubber, wOund tightly a few times,
then covered with a piece of leather.
The ball was ready to play with after
it was stitched with coarse string.

When a catcher Of today is injured

and wait for his injuries to heal. In

he was relieved of his duty behind
the plate and sent to right field to
finish the game; the nan in right

In my time we did not have the use
Of a mask, but had to keep a piece
of rubber between our teeth. MANY
times we were struck in the face with
a foul ball. and the loss Of teeth was
generally the result.
