National Commission Rules

tiOnal Baseball commission Monday re-
fused the application of Tony Smith. of
the Galveston club, to be declared a

the National board the Galveston club
suspended operations August 81. 1915,
with the privilege Of reserving its play

Australian Champion Won't

Can Find Him at Home.

Milwaukee Wis, Teb. 29.-Fred Dyer.
the English welterweight who recently
arrived in New York from Australia,
states that Les Darcy can get away
from the Antipodes II he desires and
that he may soon visit this country.
That may have been the feeling when
Dyer left, but it has no doubt changed
since then, for in a letter received Dy
the writer only a few days ago it was
stated plainly that there was little
chance of Darcy leaving there until the
war ended. The boy has been making
big money over there and he does not
feel inclined to leave without pretty
snug guarantee from the American pro-
meters.
It seems strange that Mike Gibbons
does not take a boat ride over TO the
big island and tackle Darcy in a worlds
title match. II would bring Mike from
$4,000 to $4,000 for his end without
doubt, for the Sydney stadium, which
Snowy" Baker handles, would not be
large enough to seat the fans at Sl00
to $1,000 a throw and it can accommo-
date just $4,000 without being over
taxed That would be for one match
only Mike could gather in another
$4,000 without half trying, but he
seems to think IL is easier to sit at
home and wait for the St Paul club
to go through with the contract for
three matches, for which Mike is sup
posed to draw an even $4,000.

where they needed tin secondary
defence-by the purchase of some real
stars from the bushes. The Sox looked
like world beaters last year. and for
time they did beat everything in sight.
Then they dropped behind. That was
because they lacked a real wallop-be

pennant dreams.
Watch Those Tigers.
Hughie Jennings hopes to find among
his rockies" at least two pitchers
who can stand the major league gait.
If his hopes are realized these Tigers
will be the team that must be beaten
by the club that wins the penuant. No
outfit in the country has greater Of
fensive strength. Lack Of air-tight
pitching lost the 1915 pennant for the
jungle boys. Give Jennings two young
pitchers of real worth to- add TO his
collection Of veterans-and then watch
those Tigers go,

combination that ever represented the

the Browns Of 1915 with the Sloufeds
has placed under the management OF
Fielder Jones the grandest collection
of ball players that any st. Louis team
has owned. Jones has enough good ball
players to form two great clubs. His
problem is to build the most powerful
machine possible from the many cogs
at his disposal If he builds right
and Jones is a wizard in that line
the Browns will be up in the fight all
the way.
Clark Griffith, as ever, is emitting
pennant predictions. His club does not
look much better than it did last year,
when il never was I'm the running.

his men will begin hitting and that a

or course. it is not often. that such
things happen, unless they are backed
up by some corking good baseball
brains, and I want to say right now
that the famous old Cub machine of
1906 to 1910-and what a wonderful
team that was, If l do shout 1t out my
self-was the result of several acct

It was move that made the Cub

Made Study Of Chance.
Selee always liked Chance as a man
and player. but was puzzled what
to do with him. I used to see him
sit and watch Chance from the bench
and knew he was figuring. 1 knew
from what he had done In nv case
making a shortstop out of me after
watching me play only one afternoon.
as well as what he had done with
Johnny Evers, making a second base
man out OF the Troy boy when Johnny
declared he was n shortstop and would
play no other position.
Selee took nobody into his conf
dence on the Chance puzzle. He never
did. But he told me one night that he
was going to shift Chance somewhere
on the field.
~When think of what a rrent

to keen him out of n single Rames

Then I knew that Chance Drobab1v

We stayed up late that night talk

Chance had given in, got a fat In

as a success, and sure enough, just
as he predicted and Selee thought, ne
never left first base.
The move made him world famous
and got him an Independent fortune.
Chances succession to the throne
was an accident. too. It was the re-
