Philadelphia, March 30.-Organized
against it's existence in a suit for $780,
900 damages filed in the United States
district court here yesterday under the
national antitrust laws by the Fed

If the Baltimore club wins it's suit
organized baseball will be in peril OF
attack by the national government, it
is said. The difference between the
suit filed yesterday and the one begun
by the Federal league against organ

for damages only, while the first one
was an injunction to restrain organ.

acts alleged to be in violation of the

EDDIE EVERS PAID
TRIBUTE BY WRITER

The Sporting Record, a daily bull
letin sport service published in Chi
cago, pays a glowing tribute to Eddie
Evers. Rock Island bantam boxer, in
one of the late issues. Evers is touted
as one OF the promising boys in the
116-pound division in the country, and
he is named as the challenger of
Champion Williams and Johnny Ertle.
Evers started his ring career in 1912
and since that time has fought 46
battles, losing but one TO Clint Flynn
at LaSalle on points. Nine days lat
er he came back and beat Flynn at the
same place on points. Out of 46 battles
Evers won "a. l6 of them by the
knockout route. The remaining l.
fights were no decision and draw bat
ties. Under the direction of George
Dams. Evers has advanced rapidly this
year and he will be taken east soon
to meet some of the best men in the
game.

INDIVIDUAL TITLE
WON BY CANADIAN
Sam Schilman of Toronto Beats Shaw
and Huesman in Roll on in Pin
Meet at Toledo.

Toledo. March 30.-Canada won the
individual championship last night
when Sam Schliman of Toronto gave
the Dominion its first title. Ben Hues-
man of Cincinnati ran second, while
Frank Shaw of Chicago ran third.
Their scores follow:
Schliman, Toronto ..167 POI 1864
Huesman, Cincinnati III 1856 154-510
Shaw, Chicago ..... .16S 40 1876
The winner. who used to hail from
Chicago, rolled the gamest series of
the three, although all three showed
plenty of courage. New pins were put
up and they showed lot of railroads.
Schliman almost lost his chance in the
opening game when three wide open
railroads made him the low man. He
got three strikes in the second game
and a double in the last that helped
him to the front.
Huesman rolled we'll and led at the
end of the first game by three pins. A
row of spares in the middle game
along with a cherry pick did not dis
hearten him, as he doubled toward the
/ finish. Three splits and another cherry
pick stopped him at the finish. Shaw
had four bad railroads in the last
game and he resigned toward the end
making his only two errors when he
had no chance for even second place.
Chicago made one of the greatest
killings from a financial standpoint
ever recorded in an American Bowl
ing Congress tournament, cleaning up
over $1,000 from a total of $4,000 Of
fered the winners in the tournament
that closed last night with the rolloff
/ for the individual title. While the
town had the heaviest outside entry
it was class that told, four men rolling
the top mark in each Of the four
events.

and enthusiasm of Heine Zimmerman,
his star batter and great third base
man. Heine has the ability to be as
great player as any one in the Ma
tional league, and never before has
he taken baseball as seriously as he
seems to take it this spring. So far
he hasn't had a word of discord with
the manager, something quite unusual.
At the same time he is hustling more
in the practice games down here than
he did in many of the championship
games under other managers.
The problem of picking the eight or
nine pitchers to be carried through
the season is still unsolved 1t is like
ly that it will be unsolved even when
the season opens. So far the men in
best shape for work are Mike Prem
dergast, Gene Packard, Jim Lavender,
and George Mcconnell.
Indications are that Jim Vaughn
will be much better pitcher than he
was last season. He has shown an
entirely different spirit than he did
year ago, and, besides that, is IL or
Is pounds lighter than he was at the
close of the 1915 season. Under those
conditions it looks as if the big south
paw is sure Of making good, as NO
| one has more stuff than Vaughn when
he is in shape.
OF the other left-handers, Packard
is sure to be kept. Bailey and Pierce
seem to be uncertain, as neither is in
shape yet to go at top speed. Bailey
was a great pitcher for Tinker last
year, and Pierce was about the leader
| of the west side staff.

Tampa, Fla, March 30.-That there
is a chance for youngsters to break
into the regular lineup of the 1916
Cubs is quite evident after watching
the Tinker squad in training at the
Tampa camp. If the team Of veterans
lacks anything, it is speed; and as
speed is needed these days, it looks
as if one or two of the fast young
players on the squad may displace
one or two Of the veterans.
Manager Tinker was convinced of
the necessity of getting more speed
on the team after he had been beaten
five games in row by Pat Moran's
champion Phillies. 1t was the first
time Tinker had ever seen young
Shortstop Bancroft of the Phillies in
action, and he saw one of the greatest
men at that position he had ever look
ed at, The activity Of Bancroft alone
caused Tinker to make a switch in
his own lineup, for he realized he
would have to liven up his bunch if he
expected to compete on an even basis
with the champions
Consequently he took the veteran
Mike Doolan off the infield job and
put in young Eddie Mulligan, a boy
who appears to have as much speed
at the youthful Philadelphia star. 1t
should not be surprising if Mulligan
Is the regular Of the Cubs this year,
for although he is inexperienced, hay

FOR THE SOUTHPAWS

st. Louis, March 30.--A hint that he
will use his old tactics Of swiftly
changing pitchers in crises was given
by Fielder Jones, new manager of the
Browns, at the training camp. Some

and pinch hitter, that the squad was
oyerburdened with southpaws,

You can't have too many of any
kind" said Jones. Did you ever stop
to think that the elimination of one
dangerous batter in a pinch may win a
ball game for you! If, as you say, am
overloaded with left handlers, / NAV

pitchers for certain batters. The
