old timer is as good as he was in 1913.
Doescher is another wise one, with a
good wing on the south side and a
very fair line Of stuff. He has shown
that already, and so has Browning,
who has looked better to this humble
Judge than any other Cracker hurler
at his first out.
OF course, it is more or less idiotic
~ to go on making wild shots Just
as the practice season gets under
way, and before all the men have had
chance to display their goods. You
can bet Bill Smith isn't making any
fool cracks like that-but. then, Bill
has got something else on his mind,
and, as we explained above, we had
an afternoon without any practice
game.
AS a matter of fact, this dope is by
way of a memorandum to turn back
to and check up when the Crackers
of 1914 finally are settled and making
their start in the race. If you want
to use it for that, go ahead-it can't
do much damage.

Freddie Welsh proved beyond a doubt
Tuesday night that he is entitled to an
other bout with Willie Richie when he
handed Joe Rivers a lacing for twenty
rounds. Richie has been making II his
business to steer clear of the British
champion, and it's about time that the
lightweight title holder was forced into
match with the Briton.
Welsh already holds one victory over
Richie, and until Willie wipes out this
defeat there will always be a stain on
his claim to the title. Fans still re-

y HICAGO, March IA week or

thereof l had a delightful time golf

reaching the little city was MI Van
Oven, one of Beloit's most enthu-
siastic golfers, and a little later at
the l.. c. Hyde & Britain Bank
met my good friends, Mr.. Rockwell
and Mr. Britain. The first bit of golf
news that was communicated to me
was that Dan" was dead, and Dan,
be it known, was the faithful horse
that did his share of the work about
the Beloit course. His death was
deeply felt by all the members of the
club, but particularly by Frank Crog-
han, who is greenkeeper, housekeep-
err caddy master-in fact, almost
everything at the Beloit Club from
April 1 to Thanksgiving Day. Hav-
ing been deeply attached to the horses
at Edgewater when l was a boy, l
could easily sympathize with the
mourners of Dan, and l rejolced to
know that his last days had been

r EFT us have it understood that
William Andrew Smith, mana
ger of the Atlanta ball club
has nothing whatever to do with the
following meager lunches. Let is
also be understood that President
Galloway likewise is guiltless, and the
directors.
This is merely a personal line OF
dope. compiled in an afternoon which
doubtless would be better employed
scoring a practice game, only no
practice game is being played.
So here's an idea or two about the
1914 Crackers, based on the very
small and probably useless indica-
tions of a couple of exhibition games
with a presumably stronger club.
LUNCH No. Third base and
shortstop are the two sOftest To-
cations in the Cracker lineup.
No. Five left handed hitters in
the regular batting array ordinarily
is too much-unless the manager is
sweet on fork hand batters. 1t may
be too many even then.
No. 3-That makes Kircher's
chances for a job look better-to US,
anyway.
No. 4-The pitchers look like a
good bet, with the outtield close
second, or maybe first.
PEVERTING to No /, we will ad-
IN NIT freely that the dope framed
in a pair Of practice games isn't
worth much. But II looks as II we
had Onnnnh q nDnnla nf Unnl gHCOn0-
string catchers, without landing any
thing of Chapman's caliber Munich
has a good clean style, and ought to
develop. Maybe he'll do that in the
next week or ten days-that is, may
be. he will uncoil a little more.
The way third base looks just at
present, there will be a red headed
Irishman making a start at that bag
and doing his durndest to make good
with a fair chance. Also. he will
have TO scuffle around a bit
CONCERNING Nos. 2 and 3, we
lamp the following regulars bat
ting left handed in the present ten
tative lineup: Mcconnell WelchOnce,
Flanagan, Eible and Lynch. Five.
Granted that they stick, that's good
many with G. Price pitching, we'd
have six port -siders. And. according
to accepted DOPE every club In the
league would save up its left handlers
to work as many games as possible
against the Crackers.
That might be very very sad. Or
il might not. Sometimes a left-hand
hitter is more effective against
left hand pitcher than against the
opposite. II. Welchonce was that
way last season, or nearly so. But ii
is the exception, and Harry will nat
urally hit any OF 'em.
co we reach Mr. Kircher. This lad
- is rather an odd citizen. He Is Of
moderate size, very fast on his feet,
and plays pretty well in every posi-
ton on a ball club except pitcher
He has been a regular catcher More
regularly he has played the outfeld,
He hits right-handed and swings well
into the ball. His extra base wallop
in the last Louisville game was hook
ed down the left field line with about
