You Cannot Win at Playing sPOnies

BETTING on a horse race is an ab-
 soIute1y certain losing proposition. A racing expert connected with one of the New York papers made this adnais- sion unconsciously while boosting him. self as the greatest tipster in America,
 The expert in question, in reviewing his own labors for the year. stated that in s71 races he had picked the winner 272 times lie stated with a showing of pride that he picked more winners than any other tipster in the country. He trots out facts and figures to show the truth of his assertion
 Taking his statement at face value. it will be seen that the best race tip stec in the country would have lost "a wad of money during the year had he bet on his own tips.
 Assume that you bet $10- on every one of his tips. He passed out 371 tips. That would have called for an outlay of $s,710. In the 871 starts you would have been returned a winner 272 times. But how much would you have won?
 Taking the odds placed on twenty five horses which this expert tipped we find that the average odds was but 6 to 5. Naturally in making his selec- tions the expert choose the horses that looked like the best bets. Usually he selected the heavy favorite-the horse that looked like a sure winner. And whenever a horse looks like a sure

reer last season, though we hope not Is G. Napoleon Rucker of the Brooklyn Superbas. Maps arm was fn very bad shape for most of last season. and his many friends arc dubious whether he can ever come back.
 Perhaps no club has as many vet erans who started to skid back all at the same time as the Giants had to put up with last season. A full half dozen of McGraw's staIwartg-in fact. the nucleus of the club-aM started to skid together. The list included the entire Big M combination---HEat theWspa. Marquard Merkle, Meyer and Afur- ray, as well as Larry Doyle.
 A1atty did his share early in the sea- son, but he could not hold the club up aided only bg Tesreau. and his wares were far from hit proof in the latter part of the season.
 And then there is dear old 1Etque Doniin. We almost overlooked hlIn- 1GiQue could only compile an average of ITS, which could no longer keep him in the league. George WIltse also fn- ished his worthy big league career last season, though Hooks had just been holding on for some time Another fa-
 mous old timer who will be missed is Germany Schaefer, who was passed uu | by Clark Griffith, while Mike Mitchell is another old war horse whose bic league days have ended.

CLEVELAND once more has been
 put on the map in amateur skat- ing circles. The showing of Cleve- lands ice artists in the international championship races at Saranac Lake, N. r.. showed that the sixth city has skaters who are the equal of. if not better than, the speed merchants from Montreal. Toronto and other sections.
 Ben O'Sicky, the eighteen-year-o old lad who has been winning with much regularity in Cleveland races was the sixth city's leading representative, se- curing second place in the events. Benny gathered a total of 90 points in the races at Cleveland and Saranac Lake and but for an injury to his side in the first nights races in Cleveland might have given Wheeler better run than he did The Cleveland star hn- isted first in the 440 yard dash, second in the two mile and one-third mile and third in the three-quarters and half mile.
 Cleveland also secured tie for third place in the events by virtue of the strong showing of Anton OSicky, Ben's brother. Anton was tied with Cody of Toronto for third position, each. hav- l ing 80 points. The Cleveland lad. who

|COOMBS MAY SURPRISE
 WITH REAL COMEBACK

fifty six innings without 9 run being tagged on him. To complete a fine season. Jack won three games against the Cubs in the 1910 worlds series.
 Coornbs continued a marvel of the twirler's art until the 1911 worlds se- ries, when he suffered a severe injury. He had beaten the Giants early in the series and had the fifth game almost won. the score being 8 to 0 and the Giants had made only two hits up to the seventh inning, when something snapped in Jacks anatomy. The score was tied on Coombs in the ninth in ming. and the Giants won off Plank in the tenth.

winner the bookies won't lay any sort of odds against tho animal.
 Out of twenty-five average tips the majority of his horses were quoted at even money. Several were 2 to 1 shots. Some were quoted at 6 to and one at 8 to 5. Some others, which were over whe1ming 4avorites, were quoted at only 4 to and to 2. Tota1ing all the odds, it makes to the average odds on those twenty-five horses that this expert chose. Those Twenty-Five horses and the odds represent pretty well the type Of horses that he chose all year long and the sort of odds that prevail ed on his selections.
 Now. getting back to the main point
 Had you bet on all the borses that were tipped you would have won 272 times. That meant you would have won 12 on each horse, or total Of fa.- 264. Of course your stake of S10 on each of the winning horses would have been returned The returned stake and your winnings would have made a total of $5s9s4 that you got back for your outlay of $ss71o.
 In other words, had you Wagered S1o on every one of the horses that the greatest racing tipster in the land pick ed out you would have lost during the year a total of $2.72e-the diTereucs between the $s,T1O that you bet and ,the $5,es4 that would have been ue- turned to you

they are coming to this realization very rapidly.
 Even the Federal league. whose very existence depends on it's paying con- tract jumpers bigger salaries than they cam get by fulfilling their legal obliga- tions, has announced that it will no longer pay the bill for ball players joy rides and that the men who draw sal aries in the Fed ranks this season must deliver the goods or make room for others who will

 his fling at high life and big salaries,
 but his heyday was a rather brief one,
 and he is going to pay the fiddler for his fun Baseball salaries must come
 down if the game is to be perpeuated. and the magnates are inaugurating Q sane policy which is sure to pinch some of the greedy performers who snatch ed all in sight a year or more ago. Along with those who should suf-

 should be hurt. For instance, there's Billy Sullivan. the veteran Chicago
 White Sox catcher. He has been giv- en his unconditional release not be- cause he had served his day, but be-
 cause he had served his day as an ac- tive baseball factor, and the Old Roman
 did not feel that he could carry him along as a pensioner.

CONSIDERING that golf was prac-
 ticaI1y new to this, country twen- ty-f1ve years ago, the present status of the game stands for a growth abso- lutely unriyaIed by any other sport. even baseball
 A statistician has figured that today, within fifty miles of the New York city hall, there are 112 golf courses repre- santing an outlay of $1o.000.o GOO. and 30. .00O individuals.
 The number of golf and country clubs in the United States would prove astounding if totaIed. for practically every town Of 5000 persons or over has at least one.
 The money invested in golf courses would probably far surpass the sum Involved in equipping the forty-fve or Atty baseball leagues in this country. And this phenomenaI growth has all

BASEBALL SLANG BEATEN.

BASEBALL fans are slangy in their
 baseball talk Their slang is pie turesque and finely descriptive, but for real unadulterated slang you must give the trapshooters the palm. Listen to this from well known gunner:
 es, sir. I toed the firing line, put the iron to my shoulder, drew a hum dinger from the box and killed 1t. The second saucer was a lazy boy, flying straight away, but went to sleep and the pigeon nestled in the grass. The next mud pie sailed to left quarter, but the old pea shooter simply knocked the fuzz off. The fourth diclxy bird was smothered as soon as it was matched. Then cripple huttered out and died. Next came a right wheeling streaker, and pufverized it~

Welsh Likes to Fight the Hard filters

ssWOULD rather fight the hard hit-
 ters instead of the clever fel- lows F' said Freddie Welsh. the light weight champion recently.
 You can always make a great show ing with the hard hitters Everybody thinks you're going to get your head knocked off when, as a matter of fact. you never were safer. Only the rank est dulxe in the world will take your title away Another thing, the hitters draw crowds. Take Leach Cross, for Instance People pour in to the fights to see him knock somebody cold. How often does he do it? Rarely On the other hand you fight clever fellow like Shugrue or Dundee and they'll run, pop. run, pop, and so on. You can't get near them. and they won't stand for a. mix
 The best lights I've put up have been against the dangerous hitters- I know just what to do. just how far to draw away from their killing walIops. and when counter they are so shown up that the crowd is delighted.
 1T don't mind what. they say about my fighting. Neither do care how they decide They all decided against me in Akron in my bout with Grifths. That doesn't bother me. It's the diff ference of opinion that stimulates the game GrifHths is youngster- He was fighting before his friends. and they were naturally carried away with his efforts even though most of those ef- forts were leads and hooks that un- questionably blocked. But I'd rather be che champion Of the world being banned than an aspirant for the honors being boosted. I served my time in that boosters' club. nine or ten years of it, and know just how Grimths felt about If.

"Any time difference of opinion arises it means another fight. That was the tenth fight had had since winning the championship in September. fought seven fights in five weeks. and I aver aged $5,o00 a fight. started off again in New York with Beecher, and the Akron fight brought it up to .S5.O00, in the week.
 .sThe Ritchie bout will be my best and biggest fight. We will draw be- tween $25,000 and $30.o0O-
 eI want to go along two years more. I'll never be knocked out and I'll retire champion. I appreciate the fact that me in the futures and I'm going to re- tire the kingpin long before even be- gin to slip. Just as soon as T get all that there is in sight I'll be ready, but I'll slip down well within two years.
 'T won the title because I was patient, silent and a stoic. It's natural with us Welshmen to sit the thing out I'll never forget watching the men of my race squatting around, smoking their pipes They're all miners. They're used to squatting down in the coal mines for hours at time, with hardly room to move, picking away at the coal with short little hacks. Then when they come up out of the mines after the days work and want to rest they squat down until they're almost sitting on the ground. In this fashion they form a big circle, all smoking quietly. For hours they will squat there mo- tionless, each alone with his thoughts Along will come another miner. Down he squats. and the only welcome he gets is Hello, Bill.' He joins into the spirit of the thinking. I inherit thai spirit and 1t was that alone that. gave me the courage to wait patiently for my whirl as a worlds champion.''

CONSTANT PRACTICE WAS CAUSE
 OF CUBSS SUCCESS.

T1HE success of the great Chicago club
 baseball machine was due to con- stant tuning up, according to Johnny Evers. Tn particular the inheld. even when it was going at it's best, put in many hours of morning practice.
 s'The four of us entered into a pact which stipulated that the first one of us to quit during a morning. practice had to treat the other three to luncheon sor cigars;'s writes -Evers. Strange as 1t may seem, 1Steinfe1d. who was the veteran of the quartet, was the hardest to make quit. Chance, being the man ager, refused to quit until some one else did. This forced Tinker and my self to enter Into a little agreement on the side.
 ''whenever we began to feel the strain of an hour and halfs work we would throw the ball low OF high to Chance, making him stoop to dig 'em out of the dirt or jump to pull them down. If they got past him he had to run after them. He got on to this. However, and when he found the throws coming badly he made us work all the longer.''

PITCHER GENE PACKARD TAKES LESSONS FROM HIS FATHER.

f~IlCt7EH GENE FACNAhD LANES LESSONS FROM HIS FATHER. GENE PACKARD, pitcher Of the
 Kansas City Feds. is known as the left handler with control' Behind that control is a story that proves that ball players are made more through early training than anything else. There are three of the Packard boys; two left handed pitchers and one in- fielder, all out in professional baseball and all coming along rapidly.
 The father of these boys was a ball player, and he determined to make ball players of his boys-preferably pitch CTS. Almost as soon as they could throw he had them out teaching them the art
 He took three indoor baseballs, put a string through the centres of them. att tached a rubber band to. the ends of the string and tied one end to the limb of a tree and anchored the other to the ground
 The three balls hung. one knee high. one waist high. another shoulder high. Then he had the boys pitch at these balls, first calling ''high,'' low or waist" and keeping them at 1t until they could hit any ball he called, and hit it either inside or outside. They | learned control that way.

 aa9E policy of economy inaugu-
 rated by both major leagues
 since the close of last season
 A has hit everybody connected with the sport to certain extent, but 1t has been particularly hard on the veteran p1ayers@those men who have been on the ragged edgeg for sea- son or more. but who have managed to hold their berths through senti- 'n7eflt With the club owners determined to cut expenses wherever possible to keep their own heads above water, there is small room for a display of sentiment, and some of the old timers are begin ming to drop out of the ranks. A cold business policy has replaced the senti- ment which formerly Characterised the policy of most of the magnates.
 Today 1t is a plain question of what player can do. not of what he did in the past It is a question of delivering the goods or making room for men who will be more useful than ornamental 1t is bit hard on some of the old timers. and yet, after all, the players themselves are entirely to blame for the present state of affairs
 The greed Of the athletes forced the club owners into expenditures which they never could afford, but which they were forced to bear for the time being or suffer the destruction of their busf- ness. The shortsighted ball players never stopped to think of what the ultimate consequences would be, but
