American Hides sed New.
Those were harsh, cutting words that
a baseball manufacturer recently issued
while on the subject OF covers for base
balls-and the ability Of some players
to damage those covers
The hide Of Siberian ponies was used
I'm the past for covers for baseballs.

as Cobb. Speaker, Jackson. Collins. and

And then he added this cruel thrust:

took hold of the Cubs last fall. he re-
: allied that ne had a man under him
/ who might conspire, as Brutus did
] against Caeser, TO get Rogers job
/ This idea Of having a man around who
! might rise up and crowd him out had
/ been impressed upon Bresnahan by
/ having seen a lot of it already. He got
right on the job in an effort to trade
Sweeney to some other club. At the
! several National league meetings dur
I ing the winter, Sweeney was the trump
card Bresnahan played wheneve- he
tried TO make a trade for new talent.
Nobody seemed to want Sweeney, how
ever. Bresnahan was determined 10 get
rio Of BIZ and in an effort TO receive
something In return for him, asked for
waivers He thought he at least could
get the waiver price from somebody
But not one club would pay il. There
was nothing left to do but keep Swee-
ney or release him uncOnditiOnally.
Bresnahan chose the latter course
Let Roger deny If he will, but il is
certain that Sweeuey's presence made
him uneasy about his own position.
Red SoK Got Him.
As soon as Sweeney became a free
agent Joseph J. Lannin, owner of the
Red SOx, was advised to get in touch
with him, which he did, and the result
was that Sweeney is now on the BOs-
ton American roster, listed as a second
baseman. Bill Carrigan will arise 10
point out that it was himself and not
owner Lannin that carried on the ne
gotiations with Sweeney. That viii be
perfectly truthful, but il will not be
denying that Lannin gave him the
high sign to trail Sweeney and sign
him at the best possible terms.
The Red Sox, in the opinion Of many
experienced students Of the game,
should have won the American league
pennant last year. They loafed about
two-thirds Of the time Carrigan could
not inject any spirit into the team. could
not get the men TO deliver their best
goods He lacked the necessary mag
netism, or presence. TO achieve zoe per-
cent of the possibilities of his players,
or even anywhere near 100 percent Of
them Sweeney is Of a type that. in the
opinion Of many, would stir I'D more
ambition among the men if he were in
charge OF the team
The Red Sox appear quite a bit
stronger than any other team in the
American league for the race thai lies

TENNIS players all over the

Leo Cloud, who was electrocuted at
Tucson, Ariz-, this week. While he
had never competed IN tournaments
here, Mr.. Cloud was well known to
local players who took part in the
last couple of tournaments at
Tucson and Bisbee. He was a stu
dent at the University of Arizona
and well liked. He had been show
ing improvement at each successive
tournament and experts predicted
that in another ten years he would
have been a national champion.
JOHN K. TENER, president Of the

When he got of the train Friday
night, the first thing he wanted to
know was whether he could arrange
