George McQulllan's Record/as Phlie Comeback

WHEN it comes to pulling off come
 backs you gotta hand it to oP George MacQuilIan, better known in the circles he adorns as Big Mac'' When the six foot twirler joined the Phillies last year and amassed round dozen of the victories which gave his club the National league gonfaIon it marked his third appearance in the uniform of the Quaker hirelings.

 George was born in Brooklyn thirty one years ago. He was a hero among his companions of the Brooklyn kid hines, and at the age of nineteen he was offered a job with Paterson, then in the Hudson River league. The Silk City soon set the seal of it's approval on George, and in 1905 Big Mac'' was offered a job with the Jersey City Skeeters. He wasn't quite ripe for the Eastern league and in June was sent

to New Bedford, where Rabbit Ma ranville afterward got his start. In the New England city George won fourteen games against seven lost and in 1906 he was recalled to Jersey City. His work for the Skeeters won for him his first chance with the Phillies in 1907. On. his first trip up to the big show George. was used in only four games and was then sent to Provi- dence. He led all the pitchers of that fast league, winning nineteen games and losing only seven, and in Septem- Der he was recalled to the Phillies. In the meantime George had also played winter baseball in Cuba under the name of Mack.
 In 1908 Big George was the star of the philadelphia twirling staff, win ming twenty three games and losing seventeen. In 1909 George did not do so well, and the great reputation he had achieved in his first year in the big show began to go7glimmering. In 1910 he was seriously i'll for time,

Kelly Not Rowdy as Fan Thought Says President Tener

PRESTDENT TENER of the National
 league tells a good story about the late lamented Mike Kelly. At the time Tener and Kelly played on the old White Sox team, once, when the Chi cago team was travelling east, Tener received permission to stop over at Pittsburgh to transact some business.
 One day late he resumed the trip to New York Accompanying him from Pittsburgh was one of Tener's closest friends. This friend came of a fine family and rather looked askance at the average ball player, excepting, of course, ~his@friend Tener. On the Pull man they started to fan.

Veteran Players
 I Liked by Fans

nFNRoM time to time club owners of
 the leading minor leagues are urged to develop young players instead of accepting castoffs from the majors who are just a bit shy of the prowess for the big circuit" says Expert liar vey Woodruff. They are told their fans will appreciate this development of young talent more than seeing the veterans perform who are going back or the tried material which has not quite arrived.
 These pleas find their only accept ance in lean times financially, when the magnate sees little money rattling in the cash box. Then he makes a vir- tue of his necessity. The pennant race in the American association this year is an example.
 'Tp marked contrast to the lineups of last year the club owners, anticipat- ing crowded stands and bleachers, have loaded up more than for several years with material from the major leagues and with the stronger players from the defunct Federals. The result is ap- parent in the contests already played, which are quite finished as compared with previous performances.
 Regarding the young talent argu- ment, the fans may like to watch a young player if he is travelling well. but they certainly make more allow ance for a veteran with whose name they have become familiar in major league box scores than for youngster breaking in- A misplay by the new conner puts him on the suspicious list.
 Several mfsplays by the veteran only cause comment on his bad day. providing, of course, he eventually comes through, for successful per (o~ fS 111f ka r. not the purpose of this comment to as -sert that either theory is correct. What the fans really want, however, is self evident"

and even after his recovery he was apparently minus his old ambition, self confidence and pep" Red Dooin. who had succeeded Billy Murray as pi- lot of the Phillies, decided to get rid of him, and he figured in the deal by which he, Moran, Grant and Hum phrey were swapped for Lobert Pas kert, Burns and Becker. The change to Cincinnati seemed to aggraVate his condition, and he won only two games for the Reds in 1911. He was sold in midseason to Columbus. He showed up fairly well in the American asso- citation in 1911, and in 1913 he began the season like a phenom. He had won twelve games for Columbus and lost only four by August, when he was traded to the Pirates. Last year the Philltes got him at the waiver price, and for the third time in his career Big Mac donned the garb of the Phillies MacQuillan has few equals in the big league in the matter of con- trol.

we went over to the table and join ed them. I introduced my friend, and they made us welcome. It happened my friend, who had such an i'll opinion of Kelly, sat down next to him. Mike immediately began to spin, diamond yarns in his inimitable way. The beers came, and as don't drink decided. to leave my friend to the tender mercies of Kelly. t-f-
 what heard the next day amused me. The beers came too fast for my fiend, and he was unable to. get around under his own power. So Mike bundled him in a cab and took him to the Hof- man House and put him to bed. When I met my friend next I said to him, I don't see how you can stand for this fellow Kelly He laughed and said he agreed with me that Mike was one of the best fellows in the world"

MINOR HEIR AND GEORGE GANG
 IN A GLASS BY THEMSELVES
t. by American Press Association.

NOR nearly four years the record for
 a team pacing a mile to a wogan, made in 2:O2 by the stallion team, Minor Heir and George Gano, at Co., lumbus, O., has withstood all on- slaughts, and this team of stallions, an uncommon thing in horse racing, still stands as the, premier pacing pair of the world.
 As almost every horseman knows, a team of stallions is a dangerous thing to manage. Two stallions in the same field or the same box stall in a stable will usually fight to the death, and very few stallion teams are on record. M. W Savage of Minneapolis, owner of the horses, risked $7O.OOo in horse flesh when he decided to drive the pair as a team. Minor Heir cost MT. Saw age the princeIy sum of $45.o00, while

 well, Kelly is all right" answered Tener. T would just as soon be with him as anybody. You don't know him.
 Well, I see him on the ball field. Everybody knows he is a rowdy and brazen enough to stoop to any trick to win a game. He's a roughneck, all right I don't see how you can tolerate him.
 Tener, and finally the conversation shifted to other subjects. On reaching New York Tener rejoined,, the White Sox in company with his friend. After dinner that night they went to a. cafe to play billiards. Much to his surprise Tener saw Mike Kelly, Tim Keefe and several other noted ball players sitting at a table drinking from steins.-

he picked up" George Gano at a bar gain for $25,0O0.
 Early in July, 1912. MT. Savage and his trainer Edward J. McCarr, started the task of training the two sta1lions to drive together. Neither had ever been driven in double harness before but little trouble was experienced when the horses were harnessed on either side of the center pole. Constant watching by EMcCarr prevented any se- rious action by George Gano, who usually made one or two 1unges at Mi nor Heir on the other side of the pole.
 Finally everything was~in readiness for the attempt to break the record. The first trial was made at the Minne- sota state fair Sept. 2, 1912. The track was slow and a mile in 2:041a was the result. The record then was

Snowy" Baker Is
 Ring Games King

"HEREVEFa boxing in Australia be-
 comes the topic of conversation, Snowy Baker also Is mentioned, for Snowy, or more properly speaking, Reginald Baker. is the biggest single figure in the boxing world of the antip- odes.
 Since Hugh Mcintosh passed out of the limeIight as the great Australian boxing promoter Baker has taken his place. In the last few years every boxer who has gone to Australia has been under the management of Baker. He owns the stadium at Sydney, where the most important bouts in the south ern continent are held, and also has stadiums in Brisbane and Melbourne.
 The Sydney stadium covers an area of three acres, the Melbourne stadium covers one and three-quarter acres, while the Brisbane amphitheater is somewhat smaller, covering just one acre. Bouts are held in these stadfurns every Saturday night and are well at tended. It is said that the governors and ministers of the Australian cOrn- monwealth frequently attend the bouts, which seem to have higher status in Australia than they do in the United States. Sir William Hughes, the Aus tralian prime minister, who is now in England, attends the bouts every week when he is at home.
 Snowy Baker is usually thought of simply as a fight promoter, but he is also a clever boxer and wrestler, and one of the j"strong'' men of Australia. In connection with his stadium he runs physical culture school for the cultivation of strength among his fel- low Australians.
 Baker has done much for the sport in the land of the kangaroo. The men under his management are said to save their money and lead clean lives. Most of the boxers piloted by Baker have made money and have invested it well. Les Darcy is said to be worth $50,OOO, most of it invested in valuable real estate

 Speed is pleasant to behold It does not seem humanly possible to get the ball to the catcher as quickly as John son, Morton and Bush do. The fire ball honors of the Johnsonian circuit surely are theirs.

HORSE JAILED IN
SHED TWENTY YEARS
HUMANE SOCIETY AGENTS RE-
LEASE ANIMAL FROM CHAIN
BOUND SHACK.

FELICITY, O.-Squealing with de-
light a black horse, said to have been
held in captivity in shed on farm
near here for 20 years, was released
a day or two ago by Agents Anthony
Brothers and Louis Drummon of the
Ohio Humane Society.
The agents say the owner, who is
said to be one of the wealthiest farm
ers in Clermont county, his property
being estimated at 100000, admit
ted having caused the animal to be
confined within an isolated shack on
his farm.
For more than an hour the two Of
ficers wrestled with the problem OF
severing the bonds which held the an
imal captive.
There were numerous iron chains
about the shack, all being welded.
The agents we're forced to file these
before they were able to release the
horse. The animal had practically
lost the use of it's legs.
AS the horse was led into the open
air its eyes bulged in an alarming
manner, and the agents say that a
good-sized fist could easily have been
lodged in the nostrilss of the horse,
the expansion, for the moment, hav-
ing been so great.
With much difficulty the horse tried
to use its legs. 1t acted like a train
ed animal in a circus which had been
taught to keep time with two-step.
The legs were raised unusually
high at each movement, then were
lowered as though the horse was
afraid its hoofs never would reach
the earth.
The owner was silent spectator
to the liberation of the horse. He
had little to say to the agents. When
asked why the horse had been sub
iected to such i'll treatment he an
swered: 81 had no use for the AMI
NAL"
The shack was so bolted and barr
ed that the only way to enter 1t was
through a three-foot opening. This
was used, it is said, in giving the ami
NAL food and water.
Complaint that the animal was te-
ing i'll treated reached the Ohio HUI
name Society, and the two agents
Immediately went to the farm. first
stopping at Moscow and at Felicity
from which places they obtained III
formation tending to show, they as
sert, that the horse had not been out
of its shack in 20 years.

EQUALIZATION REPEAL
FAVORABLY REPORTED
GETS THROUGH SENATE COM
MITTEE BY CLOSE VOTE AZ
TER LENGTHY HEARING.

ATLANTA.-Fight over the repeal
of the tax equalization bill came from
two angles today-the opponents of
the bill in the house and the senate
finance committee, which, with slim
attendance, favorably reported the
repeal bill by the close vote of to O..
There are 10 members of the commit
tee, but only thirteen were present
at the meeting this morning when the
vote was taken. Most of the absent
members are known to be against re-
peal. Senator Pickett of the Elev-
enth district declared he would sub
nit a minority report against the
Stovall repeal measure. Chairman
Akin of the committee expressed the
opinion that the measure could not
be brought up again in this legisla-
ture under the rules, because of its
defeat last year.
The action of the senate committee
followed lengthy hearing on the bill
together with the house ways and
means committee yesterday after
noon. When the house met leaders
of the movement to repeal tax
equalization renewed their fight to
have their measure set as special
order. They succeeded in having the
refusal of the house to set reconsid-
cred by vote of go to "a, which
means the question as to whether il
shall be made special order is sill
open. After securing reconsideration
Sheppard, of Sumter, moved to post

matter until Monday, which was car

Opponents of repeal are confident
| the other side will not be able to get

speaking on personal privilege, de
clared that he meant no reflection or
