JOE BUSH MAY
OPPOSE BRAVES
IN GAME TODAY
A t h hletics Confident of
Showing Better Form
in Boston Trays
HUB PLAYERS IN SHAPE
BY CHANDLER D. RICHTER

JACKSONVILLE Fla, March 3l.-The
Boston Braves were greeted with chilly
weather this morning upon their arrival
here for the first game of the hnal inter
league series of the training season Man
ager Stallings, who is never very aniable
when Mack and his players are near. was
very much peeved. lie raved quite bit
about the miserable weather and the con-
trast to the climate at Miami, where the
Braves have been training.
Boston is the best conditioned team the
writer has ever seen at this time of the
year. The men are playing in midseason
form and though two days of the pre-
vailing weather will put the Mackmen
back considerably, IL will really be well
come, as it may tend to throw the Braves
off their stride This would aid the Phtltics
considerably and prevent the Braves from
getting of to a start As every one in the
Mack training camp is pulling for the
Phils to win the National League flag
there is no gloom here because the
weather was such that only a short work.
out was held this morning.
There has always been a great deal of
discussion relative to the conditioning of
a team in the spring, Some managers
declare that a team should not train
where the weather is extremely warm, as
tho return to the North affects a finely
conditioned team more than one which Is
not quite up to form.
In discussing the subject Manager Mack
says: II don't take any stock in that
theory. My experience has taught me
that a team which enjoys remarkably
warm weather will show the effects of
cold weather slightly quicker, but a team
in the condition that the Braves are to-
day needs one or two warm days to bring
them right back to where they were be-
fore the reaction sets in.
another team will be slow coming to
form, even after this warm weather sets
in a major league team which has pen
nant aspirations cannot be trained too
well, and Stallings Is fortunate in having
his men in such good shape. l know If
my ball team was a pennant contender
nothing would please me more than to
see the men in the condition the Boston
players are at the present time. I'll take
a chance with cold weather of the North
and get a team on edge every time | get
the weather and have the men"
The Braves will be rather surprised at
the improved condition of the Mack
mer and unless the Dodgers skidded
badly over night before meeting the re-
constructed regular team, the National
League favorites are going to have hard
battles on their hands this afternoon and
tomorrow. The Mackmen apparently are
striking their stride and while they are
not banking upon winning both games
from the Braves, all are confident that
at least one Of the contests will result in
victory.

As to Grit Value


Courage in sport is often spoken of aa
a rare quality. Whereas 1t is one of the
most prevalent qualities in the game.
There are few in sport who are without
it, for we have found, on a pretty broad
average, that one man is about as brave
as another or would be under the same
conditions.
Efficiency in sport is not only n rarer
quality than courage, but 1t is also to a
large extent the producer of courage.
The entry who has made himself efficI.
ent can, most of the time, start without
fear of failure-that is, courageously.
Competency
There are times when courage as an in.
stitutlon is overplayed. The best instruc-
tors in the game start in to make their
men competent, knowing that most of tho
time competency will bring courage along.
You have heard lot about Yales bull
dog pluck" Yale last fall against Har-
ward went in ready to die, If necessary, to
redeem the Blue.
Yale undoubtedly started with all the
grim courage she could carry, But of

WALTON REELECTED TO
LEAD PENN STATE FIVE
Season Closes With Eight Victories
and Three Defeats

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, March al
Penn States basketball team has re-
elected I. E. Walton. of Atlantic City, cap
tain of the floor five for the next season.
Captain Walton has been a varsity player
for three years, playing guard for the last
two years. States offensive strength was
due largely to his remarkable floor work,
and he almost equaled the forwards In
the total number of goals scored from
the field.
Under walton's leadership this year
Penn State made a remarkable record,
winning eight of the eleven games played,
and capturing second place in the
Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Basketball
League. Two victories were registered
over both Lehigh and Lafayette, and
Bucknell, Juniata, Westinghouse Club and
Carnegie Tech were also defeated. State

The Case of the Cubs
One cant very we'll blame Mr.. weegh.
man and Mr. Tinker for n spring feeling Of
depression.
When it was first announced that the
Chifeds, Fed flag winners, were to be
amalgamated with the Cubs the opening
thought was a runaway pennant race for
Cuband.
For the Chifeds were good enough to win
n pennant And the Cubs had such eminent
additions to offer as Jimmy Archer, Vic
Safer Heinie Zm, Jim Vaughan, Jim
Lavender, Cy Williams, Frank Schultz and
others of slightly lower ilk.
And Then
No wonder Mr.. weeghman and Mr..
Tinker felt buoyant, not to say exhilarated.
The combination looked like money in the
bank.
And then came seven games with the
Phllies. which left the standing about as
follows:
Phillles-won Z, lost o; percentage,
1000.
Cubs-won 0, lost Z percentage 900.
Not that any March series has any
direct bearing on summer or autumn
affairs
But when one team plays seven games
with ball club in its own circuit and
loses exactly seven games, there is GER
tainly little left to cheer about for the
time being. II is enough to make one sit
down and ponder for the moment, at least

SCORES NEWSPAPERS
 FOR PLAGUE SCARE
New York Hospital Superintendent Blames Press for Frightening Pub lie Into Panic With Eurid Stories.

In making an appeal at Trinity M. port for the Sceuey hospital in Brook lyn of which he is superintendent, Rev. Dr. James E. Holmes took occa- sion to criticise the newspapers l especially the metropolitan dailies for the panic which ensued during the past summer over infantile paralysis Dr. Holmes blamed the newspapers for enlarging on the epidemic and printing gruesome details which, he maintained, only threw the public in- , to a mad panic without aiding in alleviating the trouble.
 Undue publicity he maintained. l. caused stringent rules to be adopted by health officials forbidding people from leaving the city and in the country districts paralysis fugitives were turned back. Lurid stories of threw New York into a panic and diseases far worse were overlooked in
 the made rush to escape the new
 1nalady In this case, said the
 speaker, "safety first'' had adverse
 results and proved harmful instead of aiding the victims.
 Dr. Holmes spoke in the highest terms of the noble service given by the hospitals corps of nurses during the epidemic. There are no nurses in the corps and not one f1inched when asked to serve in the isolation ward although at the time when they were asked to volunteer all were in deadly fear of the epidemic. The Sceuey hospital is a Methodist institu- tion but draws no creed lines when help is needed and hundreds of the patients were without means to pay for treatment received. This made no difference and none seeking aid were turned away.
 pr. Holmes estimates that the hos pital has expended s800,0O0 in the way of free treatment and besides working to cure the sick engages in other relief work such as finding homes for orphans, placing tubercu- lar patients in camps for treatment and also helps discharged patients to secure work. Subscription cards were distributed among the congregation and there was a generous response. Payments towards the local fund for the benefit of the hospital may be made in installments covering a long period.

THREE RACERS FINED $50 AND COSTS EACH
One Had Motorcycle -Other Two
 Were OVerdriVing Horses

Fifty dollar fines were popular with Judge J. T. Meskill today and unpop-
 ular with three occupants of the l prisoners pen in court. A speeding 1 notorcyclist was taxed this amount as
 was each of two men who were found l guilty of over driving their hired l horses.
 This last named case was one of the | most fragrant ones of animal abuse l that has been brought to the attention | of the authorities in some time and l the cold blooded manner in which one of the drivers at least went about it made it even more inexcusable. When
 arrested he told the policeman that he was speeding the horse that he might get his moneys worth.
 Racing Hired Horses.
 Officer A. B. AtWater was the prin-
 cipal witness against the drivers, Pe- ter Turene, who had a horse from Whites livery stable, and Roso Ar telia, who had rented his horse from Finnegan's livery stable. With these two men were six others Corodo Mar chetti, Stanley Marchettit, Artelie Be- locki, John Bellini, Rosco Bolocki and
 
 with breach of the peace, but the more serious charge was pressed against the men who were driving. Officer At water testified that he was standing at the corner of South Burritt and West Main streets at 1:30 this morn ing when he heard the galloping of horses and the wild shouts of men. A few minutes later he saw two teams drive over the Black Rock bridge and come racing down the street, the oc- cupants yelling and bowling like a band of COmmanche Indians on the war path. He stopped Turene, but Artelia got away and drove down a side street. Officer Patrick Quirk, who had been notified of the episode, later arrested Artelia as he was driving in to Finnegan's stables. Officer AtWa- ter testified that when he spoke to Turene about racing his horse he re- piled that he had hired 1t and wanted to get his moneys worth. The officer said that both horses were well wind ed and sweating profusely, showing that they had been driven hard. Mi chaeI Sullivan testified to hearing the wild riders and Officer Walter Malona of High and Broad streets he had heard the clattering of hoofs and the shouts of the men. William Corrigan, Gerald Crean and William Kelly, who happened along at the time testified to the exhausted conditions of each horse. As there was no direct evidence against any particular one of the oc- cupants they were discharged on the

 Saturdays accident occurred at the corner of Stanley and Church streets and each driver is inclined to blame the other. When the two cars collid- ed they struck in such a manner that each machine turned completely around twice, hitting each other each time. MT. Stearns, driving his new Studebal1er touring car, reported to the police that he was driving west on Church street and as he neared Stan ley street he sounded his horn. As he 1oomed up and struck him. MT. Stearns thought the other car was go- ing about twenty-five miles an hour. Torrance Riley was with MT. Stearns and suffered minor body bruises.
 MT. Keeley's story is reversed. He said he was driving north on Stanley street at about ten miles an hour He said he blew his horn, but did not hear the other car. He said it ap- peared to him that as MT. Stearns crossed Stanley street he speeded his car up to twenty-five miles an hour in an attempt to get ahead of him. He miles an hour, he said, and struck the rear of the other car. Both machines were badly damaged. The car MT. Keeley was driving is owned by Nich- olas Glover and was being repaired.

DR. STROSSER HURT
 IN AUTO MIX-UP
Physician Painfully Injured in Collision at South Church Corner

Two automobile accidents, each of which narrowly escaped being serious, were reported to the police Saturday afternoon and this morning. In each instance the principals were well known men. In Saturdays accident those involved were s. H. Stearns, father of Dr. George Stearns, and Frank Keeley, brother of William Keeley, @ well known garage man. This morning Dr. Herman Strosser was one of the principals and Rudolph An ders of Devon was the other.
 Dr. Strosser Injured.
 The accident this morning occurred at the South church corner. Dr. Strosser and stopped his automobile and was standing on the running board about to alight when MT. Anders' car crashed into his machine. The doctor was thrown violently to the pavement, sustaining a bad cut on the head that required medical attention. Although the local mans car was not injured, the finders machine was badly dam- aged, the radiator and lamps beins
