COAST MAGNATE
 SAYS CONTINUOUS
 BASEBALL COMING

San Francisco, Jan. 4.@"Every city of any importance will be represented by two ball clubs before many more seasons roll around z says 'sHen'' Ber- ry, new owner of the Seals Not only that, but Hen" says he expects to live to see the day when each city will have two clubs in the same league and continuous ball will be played in every city on the circuit And ''Hen'' is no spring chicken either.
 Continuous baseball is almost a ne cessity of this ago. the new Seal own CT continued. "Fans do not fancy go- ing without baseball while the team is away on a long trip. With two teams in a city they can see their favor te pastime every day in the week. in- stead of tending to weary them of the game continuous baseball will awaken their interest the more.
 s.It certainly seems strange to me to see cities like Washington and Gin cinnati represented by but one ball cIub.''

Cincinnati, Ohio. Jan. A. - When Charlie Herzog. manager of the Reds left for Virginia yesterday he was troubled with a sore wing. It all happened on account of Charlie get ing vaccinated in a hurry. Having fo depart into the wilds of Virginia tIe lair of the hookworIn, foot and mouth disease, etc, etc, Charlie de- cided it would be best to have a rned- ico pump some virus in his arm Be sides a sore arm, the infection must have given the Canteloupe King lots Of nerve. for, before boarding the trazn, he chirped:

 Late reports were to the effect that Charlie hadn't busted anythtng-not even his bank roll.

LACK DOYLE CLAIMS
 KID" NICHOLS WAS
 MOST USEFUL. PITCHER


 Jack Doyle has some interesting comparisons to make of famous pitchers, and those fans who used to delight in Charley Nichols pitching when his great jump ball was work ing will be interested in what the old New York and Baltimore player \ of : ssnickss's time has to say about him Jack caught the fast pitching of Amos Rusie, batted against Kid" Nichols and has observed closely the work of Walter Johnson.
 Johnsonss fast ball Is faster than Rusiess," says Doyle. yet Amos had 8 faster and more wicked curve But in holding Rusie and Johnson up to view as the speediest pitchers, there is one bygone pitcher who is over looked. mean Charley Nichols Though not as fast as Rueie or John son, he was good and fast, and his speed was all the more effective be- cause sent up. with an easy motion.
 Nichols was the best pitcher I ever saw to take another pitchers game, and for that reason there never was another pitcher who was more valuable to his team than he was to the Bostons.
 "By taking over another pitchers game T mean going in when that other pitcher was in bad, and he could do that effectively, even if he had pitched the day before. There haven't been any more useful pitch CTS than Mick"

OF,
 FLAG COSTLY
 TO NEW YORK

New York, Jan. .4.--whffe everybody is Highly pleased with the changes in Yankee owneship and wishes the new corners all kinds Of success, the Giants are not being lost sight of. McGraw has been putting off a Cuban tr1p In an effort to strengthen his ball club, and is re1ent1essly on the trail or Hans Isobert-
 If McGraw can get Lobert he has a fine chance of getting back into the National league pennant fight. If Boston wins him the 1915 pennant might as well be awarded to the Braves. The recent publication of the earnings of the Giants in 1910. 1911 and 1912 shows what a big proport1on of the Giants profit was derived rom worlds championship spells.
 The loss of last seasons pennant cost the Giants something like $7S,0oO in net profits, as no one believes that the series would have ended in four games had it again been fought be- tween. the Giants and Athletics. Mo Graw knows just exactly what he is doing in carrying fifty ball players He is going to look over every good prospect, and if he can get half a doz- en youngsters who bear further watching he will feel satisfied.

WHITE sOX NEARLY
 LOST COLLINS BECAUSE
 OF HIS WIPES MISTAKE

Philadelphia, Jan 4-The story is that Comiskey came near losing Col- 1ins because his wife refused to be- Heve that Ban Johnson and Conts- key wanted to talk to her husband. Collins home is a, few miles out of Philadelphia, in Lansdowne, Penn. Mrs. Collins answered a ring on the telephone.
 .'Hel1o. said the voice. ''This is MT. Johnson, president of the Amer lean league want to talk to MT. Collins" Eddie was out at the time.
 t'Quit your kidding" promptly re- piled Mrs. Collins, sweetly enough. You're one of those practical jok- CTS who are always calling up. If Edward finds out who you are, he will put a stop to it.''
 Bangi went the receiver. In a few minutes, the telephone rang again.
 E q want to speak to MT. Conins,' ,'' said the voice.
 'sWho is this?'' asked Mrs. c. CT suppose that it is President Wilson this time g
 Ut is MT. corntskey, president of the Chicago club,'' replied the speak
 "Did your friend. MT. Johnson. who called a few minutes ago, lose his voice?' asked Mrs. Collins. s'Stop your joking
 Bang! went the receiver again.
 i've got a good mind to cut that telephone off altogether if they don't quit that said Mrs. Collins.
 Again it rang.
 'Weil?'' she said, ''who are you this time? ?''
 "It is Connie Mack" replied the speaker. ''Is Eddie home?''
 Mrs; Collins recognized the voice of the Philadelphia manager
 Dfd MT. Johnson and MT. Conis- key really teIephone?" she asked sur prised.
 Yes answered Mack.
 Eddie is at a friends house, but I'll get him right away''
 If Mrs. Collins had had the teIe- phone cut off, Collins might still be a member of the Athletics Messrs. Johnson, Comiskey and Mack wanted him to meet them for the big con- ference.

FORMER NORWALK PLAYER JUMPS TO
 FEDERAL LEAGUE
lWorcester Post. )

c4Tbert Whitehouse, the heavy hit ting outfielder of the Portland New England League club, who finished second in batting in the circuit with an average of .344 last season, has Jumped to the indianapolis Federal League club. The outlaws were after Whitehousa last season, but the youngster refused to make the leap becauses of his lack of experience in the professional ranks.
 Whitehouse confirmed the report that he had jumped to the Indian apoIis club, while speaking over the phone with a. reporter for the Post today He refused. to give out the terms at which he signed. Tom Fleming, the outlaws scout who in- duced Art Laytgne, the Lynn catcher and a worcester boy, to jump last season, closed the deal whereby the Portland s1ugger became an outlaw.
 Whitehouse started playing base ball on the sand lots of North Brook field, a suburb of Worcester. He played senni-pro ball in and about his home town and two: years ago joined fast team in NorWa1k. Conn The Boston National club gave him a trial and he worked in one full game behind the bat for the Hub team. Owing to a surplus of catchers of ex- perience he did not get a. real trial. Ear1y last season he was signed by lessee Burlett for the Worcester team. <
 Whitehouse reported in Boulevard Park with the rest of the rockies and instantly jumped into favor because Of his willingness to work and his ability to hit the ball He came to Worcester as a catcher, but as Bur- kett was short an tnfie1der, he was worked on third base He played a few games with Worcester and his hitting featured most Of them. Bur- kett was afraid to experiment with him and sent him to Hugh Duffy of the Portland club
 Duffy put him in right field, and the youngster made good with a vengsance. His hitting helped the Pine State team to keep up in the pennant race andf or the greater part of the season he led the league

Snappy Snapshots Of Interest To Those Who Follow Sporting
 Events

Bugs Reisig1, the former 1.iew T1a- ven pitcher, has joined hhe walking club which hikes every Aundiay from the New York city haM to Coney IBl- and. It's just like Bugs to go 10 Coney Island in winter.
 1t is believed that the rule requiring each major league club to carry only 21. men will never be enforced. Too many promising youngsters would be Fiederals. Most of the clubs are car ryfrlg players bound by iron clad con- tracts. These men cannot be cast aside and if the clubs wish to exper- imeTpt with new material in order to keep in the race they will have to keep a. big squad.
 Owner Corniskey of Hhe White sox cannot be accused of being a. tight wa)d- He has spent large sums for players but has not been @able to get a pennant winner since 1906. The purchase of Eddie Collins for S50, 900 makes a, total of $107, 800 Coqnislzey has poured out dn the last few years in an. effort ito capture stars. Yet Con nie Mack picks up youngsters for nothing who afterward prove better players than the high priced arti- cles.
 The Pittsburgh F'ederals are said to be after John Hummel, the forunt.r HoIyole player, at present with the Brooklyn Nationals Hunrnel is wis iting friends in Springfield. Mass.
 There was considerable consterna- tjon among baseball fans when it was learned that Lee Magee's real name is Leo HoeFnschenneyer This was brought out when the St.-sLoufs Ma tio1rals brought proceedings to restrain Magee from jumping to the FsedesraLs. Magee probably doesut mind being sued but he hates to have the public get wise ito his real name

ANNIVERSARY OF
 RING BATTLES

1s60-A notable benefit was held on this date at the National Baths in London in honor of the reconci1ia- ton between Bendigo, the champion, and Ben Caunt, the ex-cham pion. Bendigo and Caunt had fought three times, the former winning the first battle, Caunt the second, and Bendigo the third. After the last bout, which ended in a row, the men be- came bitter enemies, but after five years they were induced to end the feud and shake hands publicly at a big benefit. At the conclusion of the festivities Bendigo offered to defend his title against anybody, and, much to the surprise of the assembled sports, the def was promptly taken up by an unknown named Tom Paddock who flourished a big wad of bills to prove his earnestnes In the subsequent fight the challenger lost on a foul, but he gave the clever Bendigo the worst mauling he had ever received
 1S92-Bil Dunn knocked out Frank Craig in srd round at stam- ford, Conn.

i$y Wagner.1
 The Atlantic league president says the outlaws who have been using the name of the organization in an eff fort to form a circuit in ConemctHcIt, have no aarthor1ty to do so. He has heard the vague reports about a. cir c11dTt& to be foruned of the largest cit ies in the Eastern association and New England league but thinks they took the name of the Atlantic league to conceal the fact tfTet they were working for the Fsedera1s.
 1t is probable that Danbury will go off the baseball map dnaSm1Ich as the Hat town was mot as paying propoSd- tion in the Atlamtic league last sea- son. The franchise will probably be transferred to Schenectady, N. r.
