Catholic University and Maryland
State yesterday started practice in prep
aration for what is likely to be the
year on a local gridiron. Not much Diff
ference in the strength Of the two elev-
ems is to be noted from comparative
scores and apparently they are fairly
evenly matched. c. US veteran back
field gives it some advantage, though
there are other positions in which the
Marylanders are somewhat stronger.

This is based on the fact that Hickey
has been holding protracted confer
ences with Ban johnson, but the
chances are that he is aiming for
something entirely different than the
commission position.
Hickey would like to get back as q
manager Of major league team, and
it is more reasonable to assume that
he is trying to get the aid OF Ban
Johnson in an effort to get the APP
pointment as successor to Bill Carrigan
at Boston than anything else.
All managers of ball clubs have had
the experience of turning down play
ing star simply because they did not
take kindly to the player when they
saw him in action.
Here is a tale of an experience which
Miller Higgins had year or so ago,
when he turned down suggestion to
pick up Frank Gilhooley. It seems
that while the Cardinals were playing
a series of games in Philadelphia Frank
Betcher, former member of the team
called on Higgins and remarked:
Il say, Hug. what you say to letting
me scout for you? l am in business
here, and have spare time that I could
put in to advantage
Well" said Higgins. have you any
one to suggest for try-out?'
sure said Betcher. Grab Frank
Gilhooley."
.'Gilhooley? Why. that fellow is no
player. I've watched him. and ! know.
L played with him for two years. and
know, too.
We'll, you can't scout for me when
you pick a poor ballplayer like that
Higgins has since had reason to re-
greet his stand against Gilhooley, for he
is one of the best players in the Ameri-
can League.

There are enough reports emanatine
from Chicago with reference to the
Cub management to create the impress
sion that Joe Thinkers job is by NO
means secure.
man has had conference with Fred
Mitchell. who during the past two
seasons has acted as coach and scout
for George Stallings of the Braves.
Mitc.tI has the reputation of being
base ball. He knows every angle of
the sport and is given credit for hav-
ing a disposition which makes him
popular with the players.
Mitchell formerly was a pitcher with
the Brooklyn National League club. in
1905 and 1906. The next year he took
up catching, this being the only in
stance in base ball where a pitcher
made good behind the bat Outfielders
and infielders have been developed
from pitchers. but Mitchell is the only
catcher who was a major league
pitcher.
1t is understood that the Boston club
gave it's consent to Mitchell conferring
with Weeghman. Staliings is on rec
ord as saying that he considers Mitch
ell as having the making of compe-
tent manager.
Pat Moran was a coach for the Phil
manager of the team. This also is true
of Lee Foil, who was the coach under
Joe Birmingham, and then got his job.
A letter written in the home of Joe
Tinker to Wade Powers. a Philadelphia
business man, contained the informal
ton that Frank Chance will take Joe
Tlnkers place as manager of the Cubs
in 1917.
1t seems that Wade Powers mother
is an intimate friend of Thinkers
mother-in-law, who lives with him.
and Mrs Power is visiting there. Her
letter to her son in Philadelphia merely
read: Frank Chance has been APP
pointed manager to succeed Joe here
Joe left today on fishing trip
When Wade Powers was seen by the
North American representative he said :
You can take my word for it that
Tinker is out and Chance will be the
new manager. My mother knows base
ball and would never have written
what she did unless it was truth"
