Sport writer's are much at variance
with one another on the prospects, u
all are agreed that Williard's chances
are about the same as those of a

A good following has the eX-cow

heavyweight, although he is being
severely criticized from many sides
because he turns down many offered
bouts with aspirants whom he should
remove before he tries the brig smoke.
willard answers these allegations by

Willard yearns to be beaten up by
Jack Johnson. The dusky champion
is perfectly willing to administer the
beating, but there are a number or
folks that think that Willard ought to
tackle Langford first.
If Langford did to Willard what

Record in Handling Players
Gives Wolverton Managership

Special Correspondence.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 13.-Fan-
dom of the Pacific coast was sur
prlsed when Harry Wolverton, man
ager OF the unsuccessful Sacramento
aggregation, was made dictator of the
San Francisco baseball club by Henry
Berry, the new owner. The surprise
extended among the players of the
Coast league as well. Wolverton had
not been reckoned in the running.
His difficulties with the Sacra-
mento team, however, were financial
and due to poor support by patrons.
Berry didn't count this against the
mar who has demonstrated that he
Is a real baseball leader.
Always he has shown that he
knows how to get the best out of his
material. and almost every team he
has managed has either won a pen
nant or been a contender. His popu-
larity extends to many leagues be-
sides that of the Pacific Coast.
Wolverton made his debut in ma
jor league circles in 1895 when he
was drafted by the Chicago Nationals
from the Columbus Vlub. After two
years he was sold to the Philadelphia
Nationals, where ne played third
base for five years and captained the
team for the last two years.
In 1905 he was with the Boston
Nationals, and in 1906, because of
salary disputes, jumped to the Will

CBy HUGH H. FULLERTOND

Gene Packard, pitcher Of the Kan
vas City Feds, is known as the left
handler with control Behind that
control is a story that proves hat ball
players are made more through early
training than anything else.
There are three of the Packard
boys, two left handed pitchers and one
an i|nfielder, all out in professional
ball 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
ers. Almost as soon as they could
throw he had them out teaching them
the art. To do this ne evolved one OF
the best ideas / ever heard OF.
He took three indoor bascballs, put
a string through the centers Of them,
attached a rubber band to the Olds 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, one shoulder high.
Then he had the boys pitch ut these
balls, first calling 'high,' low or
waist and keeping them at It until
they could hit any ball he called, and
hit II either inside or outside. They
learned control that way and in spite
Of being left handlers they never for
got the lesson.
In the present generation Of ball
players we find moro and more Of the
sons Of the old-time ball players com
ing along to fiji the shoes Of their
fathers. Besides that a number OF the
veterans Of the game today, while still
active, are training their o M to the
game.
Billy Purtell, the speedy little in
fielder with Detroit, and his brother,
also a player, were trained by their
father, once a big Lacquer.

President FuItz of Players
Fraternity Makes Plea
to Members.
HERMANN SAYS RULE
ALREADY is IN VOGUE
Cites Practice of Throwing in New
Ball After One in Play Has
Been Fouled Off.

NEW YORK, June 12-ln an
endeavor to speed up base ball
games in the big leagues, Presi-
dent David l.. Fultz OF the PLAY
ers' Fraternity today addressed
letter to the directors OF the fra
ternity asking the cooperation OF
all members to this end. The let
ter says, in part:
There has been good deal of
complaint this season regarding
the length OF time it is taking to
play big league games, many OF
them consuming approximately
two hours, and some a great deal
more A number OF players have
expressed their desire to cooper
ate with the rest in an endeavor
to lessen the playing time as
much as possible The consensus
OF opinion seems to be that by OBJ
serving the following points the
players could materially shorten
the time consumed:
First. by hurrying to and from po-
sitions: second. by avoiding unneces-
sary arguments with umpires, and third.
by pitchers consuming as little time as
possible in preparing for their delivery.
Fultz Makes Suggestion.
1T also has been suggested that the
trouble could be helped by uniform
rule" requiring the umpire 10 throw in
another ball when a foul goes any dis
tance from the field of play, but this, of
course, is not within our jurisdiction.
This is bad year financially for base
ball: the fans are not as enthusiastic
as they nave been in the years gone by:
1t is unquestionably up to the play
ers to make the game as attractive to
the public as possible. and we all know
a longdrawn-out game. especially when
the result is determined in the early
innings, loses much of its attractive
ness.
CINCINNATI. June 12.-Chairman Au-
gust Hermann of the national base ball
commission. when shown David l..
Fultzs statement to players, praised the
motive Of the Base BAH Players Fra
ternity president, but said that Mr..
Fultz was not well informed on the
point in the statement.
The American League adopted a rule
more than a year ago requiring the
umpire to throw another ball into play
when foul goes any reasonable dis
tance from the playing field" said
Chairman Hermann. This custom is
likewise being observed In some Ma
tional League games. at Cincinnati, for
instance. Here another ball Is tossed
into play even when foul hits the
screen in back of the catcher"
