OLD TIME PLAYERs GAME.

eST0ELICATE and dainty, indeed are
 the athletes Of today" says the veteran Jake Stenzel one time Pirate '-They hop out of the game on the least pretext: their managers and club own CTS uphold them in retiring from the fray as soon as they suffer the slight est damage, and a cut finger is amply sufficient to secure weeks vacation on full pay. Rube Benton, who had a finger broken by a liner in Chicago and two days later was pitching a game with bandages on his shattered finger. is about the gamest fellow I've , heard of recently. Most of them would have laid eff two weeks and then told the manager that the hand was still tender.
 Back thirty years age things were very different Players prided themselves on their nerve and often had to be actually forced out, of the game before they'd stop. Best evidence of the diff ference between then and now: Tn the old days a player couldn't leave the the game unless disabled, and the clubs carried only twelve or thirteen men. If aApitcher or catcher broke his hn- ger it meant that he would have to play right field awhile instead of pitching, or catching. Show the man ager a broken finger and it meant an assignment to. the right field for the next afternoon instead of a vacation. The player expected 1t, too, and would have felt insulted if he had been told to take ayoff instead of getting into action.s

A GOOD many managers have tried
 to teach batting to their recruits. but without much success. A good hitter. like a first class performer in any other line of sport, must be his own teacher to a great extent No champions are made such by instruc- tton. A dub can be greatly improved by competent teaching, but he cannot be made a high class performer.
 Golf professionals make a lot of money teaching greenhorns the rudi- ments of the various swings, and strokes. but the real tournament cham pions, though they may profit by such instruction, are not made by it. So in the great batting game the delight of all athletes.
 A foxy manager may be able to change some g1arfng fault in the style of a recruit and put him on the road to success, but he cannot give him the judgment of a Wagner or the eye of a Cobb. A batter must have keen eye by nature to become a real slugger.
 A fast ball does not make it's jump until it is about four feet from the plate. This is only about one-fifteenth

Pitcher Alexander
 Real Sportsman

s<HTNHERE never was af pitcher who
 was a better loser than is Alex ander.'' is the bouquet that Manager Pat Moran heaves at the pitching star of the Phillies
 ''The majority of pitchers crab and peeve when they lose, and, if 1t hap pens to be the fault of their team mates. they howl like wounded sea lions 4
 :"But Alexander is different. To lose hurts him, but no one knows it. After a defeat he's just as good natured as after a victory If the boys boob away a game behind him Alex never says a word If the boys come up and start to tell him how sorry they are he just laughs and tells them to forget it-that such things are all part of the game.
 Alexander is the most popular man on the team, not merely because he is a great pitcher, but because he has a wonderful character-because he's a man clear through

of the distance from the pitcher to the batter, and the ball travels the entire distance, including the windup of the pitcher, in about seven eighths of a second. so the batter has only the smallest fraction of time in which to make his final decision as to whether he shall swing at the ball or let it go- Judgment in such a matter cannot be taught.
 It can be gained only by constant study and practice the part of the batter himself, and then only if he has a keen eye naturally. A great many players can never become good hitters simply because they have not the eye.
 They can hit slow or inferior pitch ing because they have time enough to decide what to do before being called on to do it, but they are helpless be- fore the higher class performers in the box. Other players, with good optical equipment, do not become good batters because they have not the mental boise and intelligence to work hard at the difficult game.
 Hitting at bad balls Is one of the worst vices known to the batting

TANKS WELL SUPPLIED WITT
 YOuNGSTERS

RILL DONOVAN is we'll supplied
 with playing material from which to choose his team next spring. There are forty-seven players on the reserve list of the New York Americans at the present tfne,s and it is not likely that Donovan will make any changes for awhile yet-in fact, he is pretty sure to look over most of these players in the spring.
 He has twenty-tvo pitchers, six catchersA nine inf1eIders and ten out fielders on the roster.
 Incidentally it is rumored that a deal will be made during the winter which will give the Yankees a hard hitting inf1elder, but there are other clubs in the league anxious to obtain such a player, Chicago being one of them. so the competition for any play CT who is on the market is going to be decidedly lively.

tion- Unlike some coaches. Haughton makes 8 point of having nothing di- rectly to do with his squad for the first few weeks of the season. He 'ieaves the work of elimination and in struction to subordinates specialists in the several departments of play. Haughton generally stands along the side lines at this stage. There are some who say that he sees more in perspec- tive than he would if he went close up against his problem.
 That the Haughton idea is sound1y founded is indicated by the tendency at other camps. At New Haven, for instance, Frank Hinkey is holding much more aloof from detail than he did a year ago. One of the handicaps of the Yale coach last season was a mass of small, duties which took up his time and attention This year Hinlzey has an experienced squad of coaching Heutenants and is leaving de- tails in their hands.
 For this season at least Speedy Rush will find it difficult to escape the burden of detail. It took Haughton some time to huild1up his coaching sYs- tenn at Cambridge, and it has not been until now that Hinkey has been free. Each man has had to choose his lieu tenants and instruct them. Rush will

Requires Three Assists to Retire
 Base Stealer

CILAUDE BERRY. catcher for the
 Pittsburgh Feds. tells this one:
 "One day while was catching for the Dallas (Tex.1 team runner on first started to steal second. I begged toward the base, but our pitcher Walkerr-had moved out of the box aft CT he delivered the ball and walked right into the throw.
 s-The ball hit Walker on top of the head, and as Walker dropped to the ground the ball bounded high in the air. The runner had reached second by that time and, not seeing the ball in play. raced for third, but our short stop saw the ball, caught it as it came down and whipped 1t to third in time to put out the runner.
 'sThe official scorer credited three men with an assist. He gave me an assist because had made the original throw. He gave one to the pitcher be- cause his head had dedected the ball to the shortstop, and, of course, he gave one to the ehortstop for making the throw to third"
 Berry, by the way, is believed to be Che only catcher now in the big leagues who jumped into a grand stand after . foul ball and caught it. He perform cd the trick when he was in San Fran cisco in, 1908.
 Berry's other claim to fame Is that during the season of 19O8-s in CaIifor- nia-covering a straight stretch of twelve months-he caught 334 games, while with the San Francisco team That means he worked nearly every day for a year.

Yale's Chances
 Look Satisfactory

NORTHERN critics seem to think
 that Yale and Dartmouth will have the best teams this year, basing their opinions on the general showing of the squads in practice and the work of the men left from last year. Just how Harvard can be figured out. though. is hard to say.
 The crimson will prove stronger than either Princeton or Yale expects, not wfthstanding that Brickley has been lost As a matter of fact. it is very questionable if the absence of the two or three players who finished last sea- son will be especially noted. Right now Haughtou has two of tho best backs in the country around whOuz to build his offense. They are NfahaI and Enright. The former is well known of course, as one of the greatest rum ming backs of last season, but the lat ter is not so well known because he was hidden member of the fresh man team in 1914.
 Enright, though, in the fall Of 1911 was hailed as the best scholastic bacA of the year, playing with exceptional brilliance for Exeter.
 If either Yale or Princeton thinks it's games with Harvard will be something like mere formalities it probably will be treated to rude surprise.

ORGANIZED BASEBALL SHOULD
 TAKE HINT FROM FEDS.

TT might be well for some of the clubs in organized baseball to follow In the wake of the Federal league and drop some of the players who, under long term contracts, are violating the rules of the clubs and are not keeping themselves in playing condition.
 Regardless of how ironcIad a con tract may be, when one party to it re- sorts to practices which fneapacitate him from doing his duty that contract can be broken. Without mentioning any names, there are several persons drawing salaries from ball clubs in this league just now who are not doing themselves or their clubs justice. They are Iaboring under the mistaken i'm pression that because they have long term contracts they can do as they pIeAse. but there is sure to be an aETalc- ening one of these days.

CRAWL STROKE THE FASTEST. GGETNHE crawl stroke u1ldoubt tedly is the
 fastest method of human propUl- sion through the water that has so far been devised.'' says Duke Kahananolli7, li7, the worlds champion swimmer. Thea Australians have been credited with in venting it. That they got their ideas from the south sea islands is now vir- tually certain.
 My own crawl stroke differs in sew eraI ways from the Australian crawl, the main differences being in the posi- ton of the legs, the working of the feet and the cupping of the hands My driving or pulling powers are from my shoulders. The leg action helps to keep the body on the surface of the water, and it also tends toward the of speed.

have to go through the experience un- Hess he is extremely fortunate in his first coaching selections.
 As for Pennsylvania, the trouble there for some years has been that every one has been trying to mix up in the detail and no one has been in charge. What this season will bring forth, is still to be seen, but it is evil dent that with their various commit tee members the Quakers are aiming at an arrangement which has been tried and found wanting in other camps.

GREATEST FIND OF SEASON.

TN the opinion of George Davis, him.
 self a great ball player for many years, George SisIer of the St. Louis Browns is the greatest ball player of the year.
 The versatile collegian undoubtedly is the find Of the season. He ought to be a lot better in the next campaign than he has been in this - Sisler will wind up the Aseason with good record, showing him to be a player of great ability. Right now there is not a club in the league that would not be willing to pay a fancy price for him.
