Royal ROOters Are
 TWenty-ssVsn Years Old

YNHE Royal Rooter movement in Bos- A ton dates back twenty-seve years, but it was not until 1908 that it at tained great proportions.
 In 1887, during the days of the old Temple cup series, Boston and Balti- more came together in what proved to be the final series for this trophy. A band of Boston rooters organized them selves and followed the team to the Oriole City after the Beaneaters, as Se- lees team was then known, had drop ped two out of three games in the Hub. The rooters came home rather deject- ed, as the Boston team dropped two straight games to Baltimore. But the movement that had its beginning in this series has been revived with every winning team that Boston has since had. and the Royal Hooters are now known from one end of the country to the other.
 The membership has changed greatly between championships in Boston, but the power and influence Of the organi- zation never waned. Two years ago the then owners of the Boston Red Sox, McAleer and McRoy dared to of fend this body of enthusiasts, and the slight resulted in public letter of criticism by Mayor Fitzgerald, the boy cotting of the final game at Boston by the rooters and thousands of fans, and it helped in a. great measure to end the McAleeF-NIcRoy regime in Boston.

 has to- be learned, and the only way to learn it is by fighting. The white hopes, too eager to reach the top where the big money is to be had, do not fight their way up by the slow process that means permanent advancement. They skip too many of the other aspir- ing sluggers aiming to climb the ladder by touching only every eighth or tenth round.
 Take Jess Willard, matched to fight Jack Johnson. Willard has the physical development that should make him a wonder. but the only wonder about him is that concerned with why he should wins the fight four out of five fight fans will regard it as frameup. There is nothing in Wi1lard's record to Justify the belief that he has any chance against Johnson if the negro is one half the man he was when he whipped Jeffries.
 Another thing that the big white heavyweights lack is the fighting spirit. This is true of Willard. It goes double for big, good natured Carl Morris, and Jim Coffey showed a lack of aggres- siveness in his recent fight with Smith in Madison Square Garden, New York. Men familiar with the fighting game know that a, Knockout is seldom the re- suit of one blow but that the sleep in- ducing punch follows blow that rat- ties the opponent and causes him to drop his guard. Then the aggressive tighter, the one with the fighting spirit, wins the contest with a blow that might have been ineffective a, moment

THE GREAT CHARLEY NICHOLS

JACK DOYLE. now scouting for the
 White Sox, was catcher before he was a first baseman, and he caught the renowned Amos Rusie. He therefore spoke with authority when he descanted on the relative ability of Rusie and the greatest modern speed merchant. Wal ter Johnson.
 "Johnson's fast ball is faster than Rusie,s,'' said Doyle. 'tyet Amos had a faster and wickeder curve But in holding Rusfe and Johnson up to view as the speediest pitchers there's one bygone pitcher who is overlooked. mean Charley Nichols. Though not as fast as Rusie or Johnson, he was good and fast. and his speed was all the more effective because sent up with an easy motion.
 Nichols was the best pitcher 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 Bos-

At the price play CTS are now bringing he could sell two of his stars for that and the value of the entire team would probably be $250.oo0 to $so0.o0e. That shows a pretty good profit. especially when one considers that in expending the s75.O00 an, item of $25.0po went for Johnny Evers. As a trader Manager Stallings seems as successful as he is as bench manager.

PIE WAs rfAULBETsCFI's DIET

T1OES an athlete have to observe the rules of diet laid down by the mod ern trainers in order to be in shape for grueIing football games, or can he eat anything he pleases and stiH be in good physical condition2
 Athlete trainers and physicians will no doubt say that a strict observance of the usual diet rules-with pastry and coffee taboo-is necessary to make an athlete physically able to stand the hard knocks received on the gridiron.
 Yet the University Of Michiean's great halfback. Johnny Maulbetsc1l, violated them all and is still proclaimed by most sport writers to be the great- est line p1unger of a decade. Maui : betsch did not eat with the other mem bers of the team at the training table.

were dangerously close, which was not often. Had Coffey been as aggressive as the Gunner he would have gained an undisputed victory, probably K. O.. AS 1t was, about two-thirds of the sporting writers credited him with a victory. and the others called it a draw.
 A good big man ought to whip good small man. The fighter who allows his opponent ten, twenty or thirty pounds is taking desperate chances, and unless he is much better man he is due for a trimming. This brings up the challenge of Mike Gibbons, a middleWeight, to whipped Billy Maxwell, who outpofnted Charley Weinert, who trimmed Jim Coney. Now where would Gibbons, a nidd1eweight, get off if he tackled Jack Johnson?
 If Gibbons will whip the C1abbys and the Chips and the other niddleweights in a decisive manner perhaps he will show that he is a F1tzsimnons or a Kid Mccoy and that he can go out Of his class and annex victories. Ger tain1y a clever middIeWeight never before had such a chance to gain fame and money by whipping men weighing forty or fifty pounds more than him self.
 Al Palzer, gigantic Iowa, farmer who attracted some attention a few years ago but quickly returned to obscurity, is trying to come to the front again, but his case Io1zs hopeless. His notion of blocking was to put his face in the way of the othe7 mans blows, a system that

before. It is the last blow that counts
 In his early fights in New York Mor- ris almost knocked his men out, but after landing a stiff blow he stepped back and waited until his opponent had his guard up before resuming hostii- ties. He was too gentlemanly to strike a man who was at a disadvantage This characteristic cost Morris many decisions. It was commendable trait in an amateur boxer but 1t was dis astrous to a professional.
 Morris and Jim Coffey are matched for go in New York in January, and it will be interesting to learn if Morris has changed his tactics The number of fights he has recently won by the he has. However. if he still adheres to his old time methods he will be at no disadvantage with Cofey, for the Dub- lin giant-who did not come from Dub lin at all, at a1l-shows a like strain of courtesy. In his fight with sGunboat Smith he had that spider legged scrap per on Queer street several times, but he would not push his advantage. As result the Gunboat person rallied and in the tenth and last round came very near putting Corey out.
 Smith entered the ring weighing nearly thirty pounds less than Cohey. The announced weights, 179 and 19a, gave Corey nineteen pounds, but Smiths weight was wrongly given. as he weighed but 169. Cotfey also had the advantage in height and reach and was therefore able to keep out of Smiths way when the Gunboat's blows

James Gaffney's Players
 Cost Him Less Than $75.OOO

$10, 900 to $15,000 for his midget twirIer.
 Schmidt, the huge first sacker of the Braves, went to Boston from the In ternational league. He had a great figured as much of a hitter. Carney bought him for a trihing sum. Ganney could get about four times the old price for Schmidt now.
 MaranviIle, regarded by many as the best shortstop in the old league, came from New Bedford, Mass, in the New England league. The selling price Of Maranville wasn't one sixth of the price that Ganney could get for him today.
 Connolly, the slugging outf1e1der of the Braves, came at a bargain price; so did Catcher Whaling, who hailed from the Northwestern league. Gewdy, the best young catcher in the National league, cost but a few thousand.
 Mann, the fast outfielder of the Braves. was one of the few players who cost real money. His purchase price was about $5,000. Josh Devore was purchased for a few thousand. Red Smith. whose third passing has been a great help to the Braves. was pur- chased from Brooklyn at a reported price of $1,500. Herbert Moran. the outfielder, who came from Cincinnati, is said to have cost the Braves. about $2,500.
 Davis, the young spitban pitcher that Manager StaIlings touts as coming wonder, was purchased for song, as were several other of the Boston re- cruit pitchers. Otto Hess the oldest member of the team. cost but little.
 Whitted and Gather went to Boston via the trade route, being an exchange for Hub Perdue. the pitcher.
 George Tyler, the southpaw mainstay of the Braves, went to the Braves sew eraI years ago from the minors. The price paid for him was around $2,00o.

That is considerable bonehead work, isn't ite Seventeen men and two umpires and even several thousand fans were guilty.

 With the bases full and only one out in the ninth inning a short fly was hit out to Niles. The fans heaved a sigh of relief when he caught the ball, but it immediately turned to a roar of sur prise when they saw Niles stick the

CHICK EVANS, three times western
 amateur golf champion, has picked the eight best golfers in the world. Of course the list is not official, but it car- ries weight as being the opinion of a man who has seen all the great golf with them. dn discussing his list. MT. Evans says:
 ."The degree of difference between the best eight golfers that have se- lected is so small in most instances that they might as well be- grouped. The fact is. almost any one of my list could beat the others at some favor able time. We know that the winners of championships are frequently beaten up to and after the decisive meeting.

Although he has never won the British amateur cham pionship, he has been sernif1na1ist four times, completely outclassing every one until he reaches the limit of his phys ical endurance. To see him swing at the ball is a delight, for the action is the very synonym for rhythm.
 "Lawrie Jenkins is the present Brit ish amateur champion. I played reg ularly with him at Troon for nearly a month and know his game well. It is a delightful combination of fine golf shots.

Historic Bones on the Diamond

GPEAKIrJG of "bones,s which is fan
 vernacular for stbonehead plays,'' or poor plays. did you ever notice that the successes of the winners are ef the losers and that the latter have prominence of their own scarcely in 9erIor to that of the former? Some players will always be remembered for the mistakes that they made rather than the brilliant plays they were wont to hgure in
 sThe bad that men do lives after . thernS the good is oft inferred with their bones.' So let it be with ball players
 The @bonehead" play has as unique niche in popular fancy as the bril- liant play. Sometimes the difference between star play and a bone is re- naarkabiy slight. By that mean that many a bone play would have been a circus play if itihad gone through. and vice versa
 Of course you have all heard of the. celebrated John Anderson. one of the oldest and best known members of the ancient order of bonehead heroes. lawns fame will never die. Although there have been many others since who were able to duplicate the feat that made lawns name one to conjure bones with, it is doubtful if his star win ever fade. John Anderson was the first ball player who ever succeed ed in stealing second with the bases full
 More recent is the performances of Merkle that is too well known to re- peat, his failure to touch second base in that game against the Chicago Cubs at the Polo grounds. Sept 23. 1908. which cost the Giants 8 pennant. Mer- k1e was the victim of circumstances more than anything else. as what Ner-. kfe did in that game has been done hundreds of times by players in all leagues. aferkle was unfortunate that was all
 Yet it was probably the greatest bone in baseball.
 Harry Niles was another player fa- nous for his tendency to pull bone headed plays. While playing with the Boston Red Sox against Washington back in 1909 Harry was at his best The Red Sox were one run behind, two out and Danzig on first Niles hit a terrific drive toward center field and with his head down he started to tear around the bases Niles was a very fast man, and Danzig was not, and Harry, forgetting that there was a rum ner ahead of him, whirled around the bags and pulled up at third. Danzig in the meantime had halted at second, Niles having gone by him like streak of lightning. When the smoke cleared away Niles was declared out for pass ing a runner and Boston's chances to win had hic4xered.
 Last year it was Ivy Wingo of St Louis who starred Ivy's bit of bril- liance was an infringement in a way on lawn. Anderson's stuff. Ivy stole third with the bases full.
 In 1907 the entire Washington and Chicago teams were guilty of one huge bone. Harry SchIady, then captain of the Washingt tons, now manager of the Buffalo Feds, had retired to the clubhouse to change his trousers, which he had torn in sliding to base. Before Larry returned his side had been re- tired and Chicago was at the bat. The Washington team took the field and the game went on-that is. all but Larry, who was covering second for the Sena- tors. With only eight men in the field they proceeded to retire the Sox.
