The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-04-09

Whales had his Federal athletes out
on the north side this morning for
final practice on the home lot before
the opening of the season tomorrow
with a game against st. Louis. The
weather was perfect for the players,
who have been accustomed to some
thing colder, and the diamond is in
perfect shape. The result was a
snappy practice, during which many
fans took occasion to look over the
north side representatives.
From the work they did Tinker's
team looks like much better aggre-
CATION than the one which finished
second in the Federal league race
last season. He has strengthened the
team powerfully in its second line of
defense, in which particular he was
woefully weak during the 1914 cam
paign.
In the outfield there has been a
notable increase in efficiency, both
on attack and defense. In Leslie
Mann, former Brave, Tinker boasts
one of the best fielding gardeners in
the business, dandy baserunner and
a fellow capable of doing a bit of bat
ting now and then. Hartford, an
other acquisition, put up notewor-
thy record in the Federal league last
season with Buffalo, and Kavanaugh,
the third addition, has not been big
league regular before solely because
of injuries whenever he came up for
trial.
WickIand, ZwiIIing and FIack are
known quantities. All bat left-hand-
ed and are tremendous attacking fac
tors when facing right-handed pitch
ing. Last season Tinker lost the pen
pant because these three fellows
were not so good against southpaws
and opposing managers shot the Off
side fingers against his team with
irritating frequency.

weight, seems to have reached the
zenith of his career and is standing
still. His recent work in the ring
has consisted of series of in-and-out
performances that have, in some
cases, reflected great credit on him
and on others placed him in the light
of merely average performer.
In a ten-round fight with Jimmy
Duffy of bockport in Buffalo, N. Y,
last night White was unable to earn
the verdict of the majority of fight
critics present, He started like wild
cat, sending Duffy down for the count
of nine. The fastener evened mat
tiers in the second, however, by floor
ing White, and from then to the finish
continued to roll up safe lead on
points.
He jabbed White continually with
left and fought him off. White missed
badly ct long range, though his work
in the clinches was good. Duffy
failed to make weight and went into
the ring five pounds heavier than the
Chicagoan. This is the second time
Duty has ignored the weight condl-
tons in a fight with White.
.Matty McCue was so much better
than Ollie Kirk that the referee
stopped the fight in the eighth round
at Racine McCue made a slashing
fight that battered Kirk.

sion from Chicago Knockout Brown |
in Atlanta. Brown fought gamely,
but was not clever enough for Houck. |

SAN FRANCISCO, July 26.--wIlliam
]. Bryan said in an address last night
at the First Congregational Church that
those who are looking for the big
stick in the Scriptures would think the
writer's of Holy Writ were nollycod-
dies"
There is y phrase about speaking
softly. but carrying 4 big stick" said
Mr.. Bryan. The man responsible for
that phrase never found II in the RIblc.
and his reputation n wise man could
never depend on that alone. The
trouble is. YOU can't find n soft voice
with n big stick. II n man has n soft
voice. he doesn't want a big stick II
he gets a big stick, he loses his soft
voice"
Mr.. Bryan declared the United States
had no warrant to conceive war against
Germany or any ether European power.

he said. would be like challenging an

Since the refusal of the Cunard COM

action.
