WHY. CANNOT. HURLERS .BUNT?
Miller Higgins Unable to Understand
Reason for Twrlers' Failure to
Advance Runners.

Miller Higgins, manager of the st.
Louis Nationals, is in the market for
course of instruction or some in
ducement that will make his pitchers
good hunters. Higgins, who formerly
led the league as a sacrifice hitter,
cannot understand why the average
pitcher pushes the ball hard enough
to make an easy out or pops up dinky
fly when trying to advance a man.
When it was suggested that he offer
a bonus, he smiled. 1--we tried it," he
said. 1--WE even called them out to
special practice, but the pitchers won't
get the knack." .. ...7
Higgins believes this is due in great
measure to the obsession fostered from
the sand lots up through the minors to
the big league that the pitcher is not
supposed to hit. - "

MEYERS MAKES A HIT
Indian Catcher Doing Real Come
Back With Brooklyn.
Not Only Has Chief Improved in Bat
ting. but Work Behind Bat Has
Been ReveIation-TimeIy Hits
Have Helped Win Games.

Chief Meyers has come into his own.
Discarded by John McGraw as
through looked upon by Polo
Grounds fans as a once great catcher
who had slipped back UNNECESSARILY,
the chief has accomplished wonder
full comeback and is an idol in Brook
Ign.
1t is an admitted fact that player,
grown stale, will often stage start
ling change in form when he dons the
uniform of another team, and this is
exactly what has happened in the case
of John Tories Meyers, the college
bred aborigine.
Theochief has had a rather pic
turesque career. A graduate of Dart
mouth, he took q three-year post-grad-
uate course in baseball in the minor
leagues and came to the Giants from
st. Paul in 1908, costing the club &c.
600. At Marlin in the spring of 1909
he jumped into the limelight as q
long-distance hitter and was received
by the New York fans with open
arms. Personality, a quality in which
so many players are lacking, stuck out
all over the chief, and for six years
he was one of the most popular play
ers who ever wore Giant uniform.
1t was last year that Meyers gave
the first indication that he was Slip
ping, and there we're few regrets on
the part of the fans when the Indian
was sent to Brooklyn and Bill Rariden
was signed to take his place. In ITO
games last year he hit the ball for an
average of exactly .232, and it ap-
peared that he was about ripe for the
minors.
Then came the transformation, not
only in his batting. but I'm his CATCH

That rainbows are often seen across

Ing. Meyers doomed up in great form
behind the bat when the Robins open
ed the present season, and he has
maintained steady pace ever since.
The result is that he ranks second on
ly to Uncle Robbie In the affection of
the fans across the bridge. He looks
like a different man today, and his
timely hits have broken up more than
one game for the league leaders. Just
now he is suffering from bad cold,
but II hasn't affected his playing to
any noticeable extent.

This popular summer hotel is still
crowded with tourists and during the
past week several new arrivals reg
istered here many of whom will re-
main until about September 10th
September is the. ideal month for a
vacation and here on the island at
this time one can get complete rest
and relaxation. September is getting
more and more the month when many
come for their vacation and this year
the indications are that many will
be at the hotel. During the past
week sailing and boating were the
principal forms of amusement. Near
ly every afternoon a party from the
hotel would be out upon the waters
of the bay. Those who enjoy this
pastime have had ample opportunity
this season to indulge in this pleas
ure. The perfect weather nearly
every day has allowed for bathing,
boating and fishing. Many of the
guests here attended the dancing par
ty given at Hill Crest Hall, Saturday
evening under the auspices of the
Chebeague Improvement Association.
The raft and diving board which has
been provided for all by the associa-
tion is much appreciated by the
guests. Croquet and tennis are still
popular sports here and several inter-
esting games have been played the
last week.

NATIONAL TALKS ABOUT LATE SALES
 OF BALL PRAYERS

New York, Dec. 14-Four full hours were put in by the moguls of the Ma tional league in annual winter session at the Waldorf hotel. yesterday after noon. Concluding this session it was announced for the benefit of palpi- tating public that a committee had been appointed to draft resolutions on the death of Nick Young, and that provisions had been made to relieve the, distress of John B. Day, former president of the New York club.
 It also was announced that the pro- posed measure to restrict the sale of players after August 1 had been re- fered to committee, and that pro- vision had been made, placing all players under contract to club among the players limit, regardless of whether or not they are actively engaged in the services of the club.
 Those who professed to be in 'the know charged that the league mo- guls were merely marking time pend ing the beginning of the American league meeting in Chicago today, in order to see just what President Byron Bancroft and his colleagues are going to do with certain issues that the two leagues are facing jointly.
 In other words it appeared that the National 1eaguers were merely making a counter play to Johnson in his ac- ton of calling the conclave Of his league two days after the other fel- lows swung into action.

REFLECT FARNUM /.
 CAPTAIN OF BROWN
 FOOTBALL ELEVEN

Providence R. l., Dec. 14-Mark Farnum of Georgiaville, R. I, was last night reelected captain of the Brown football team for next year Farnuin will be senior next year. He enjoyed the distinction this year of being the first junior to ever lead the team. Other candidates were Marshall who played regularly this year at left end, and Jemail. the reg ular left half back. It is understood that Jemail withdrew his name as a candidate at the meeting, which was attended by the Is letter men, and Marshall alone opposed Farnum.
 Browns captain played right guard on the eleven this year, although he began the season at right tackle. He played in all the games in the sched- ule and his work especially in the Harvard and Yale game stood out prominently. Physically. he is the biggest man on the squad, standing six, feet two inches, and weighing 22O pounds. Farnum prepared for college at Dean Academy, where he made a reputation as school boy athlete.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

Matt Wells, former lightweight champion of Great Britain and we'll known to American fight fans, was born in London 30 years ago today, of Hebrew percentage. Matt won the amateur championship of England four successive years, beginning in 1904, before he turned professional. He made his first trip to America in 1910, and took part in a, number of bouts in New York and Yonkers.-On his return to London he fought Fred die Welsh. early in 1911, .and,, by des feating the Welshman in 20.round battle, became the lightweight cham pion of England. tf '
 After that Matt spent about a year on this side, fighting no-decision bouts with Abe Attell, Leach Cross and Knockout Brown in New. York, defeating Pal Moore in Boston. and Boston, and knocking out Billy Dono- van in Toronto. Back in London he lost on foul to Hughie Mehegan and then lost the Brit>h lightweight title to Welsh. In 1913 he,went to Austra- lia and lost, to Mehegan and Harry Stone. Welsh returned to America last year, saying he had been refused for military service because of bis tin ears, but in subsequent bouts ha didn't display his old class.

WILCOX, BEST RUNNER
 IN HARVARD, TO LEAVE
 COLLEGE FOR BUSINESS

Boston, Dec. 14.-At the completion of the midyear examinations West more Wilcox, TT, Harvard's crack athlete, and probably the best quarter miller ever to represent the Crimson will, it is expected, be lost to Har- yards track team.
 According to reliable reports em- anating from Cambridge, Wilcox has decided that he has devoted enough time to collegiate pursuits and will enter the business world with as little delay as possible.
 The decision of Wilcox is caus'ae Coach Donovan and Captain Eddle Teschner considerable worry, for Will cox is a sure point winner in the "440," besides being bne of the fastest performers in the country.
 wilcox recently won his "H" in the Yale game after spending three sea sons as @ backfieId football substitute He has great speed, but his lack or weight handicapped him.

DILLON TO TACKLE
 MtSKE ON TUESDAY

New York, Dec. 14-John P. Dunn, announcer at the Broadway Sporting Cub of Brooklyn, yesterday made public the fact that match had been arranged between Jack Dillon, the Indianapolis light-heavyweight and Billy Miske of St. Paul. The men will box 10 rounds at the Broad day clubs show next Tuesday even- ing.
 Dillon's last appearance in local competition was against Tim O'Neil, the Chicago heavyweight, who man. aged to stand off the aggressive Hoosier boxer for 10 rounds. Miske left the city with a suspension from the Boxing Commission hanging over his head. which he received for fail ing to go through with a contract with the management of the Bread way s. A., which called for his ap- pearanea in two bouts His consent ing to box Dillon, it is believed, will automatically nu11ify his suspension.

New York, Dec. 14-President Charles H. Weeghman of Chicago has not yet given up hope of landing George Stallings of the Boston Braves to manage the Cubs next season. Sta1lings denies that he is consider ing any such proposition, while Fred Mitchell of the same club is confident that he will get the job just as soon as Weeghman and Haughton can come to terms.
 Frequent rumors of friction be- tween Manager Stallings and Presi- dent Haughton of the Boston club seem to indicate that the Chicago owner may be able to put through the deal. Stallings' contract has four years to run, but Chicago is wiling to talk over the manager, contract and all. if Haughtoh will give his conseE. If Weeghman fails to get Stallings a deal will undoubtedly be arranged whereby Chicago will get the Braves coach, Mitchell.
 Several baseball deals were con summated yesterday by the various baseball men from all over the coun- try who threng the corridors at the Waldorf. Chief Bender, the veteran pitcher of the Athletics and later with the Phillies, will next year go to Toronto as manager, Last season Joe Birmingham, formerly of Cleve- land, was manager, but he quit be- fore the end of the seasen,
 Another Philadelphia player, Cra- vath, Pat Meran's famous heme-run hitter, will probably be seen nc more in the major leagues Cravath's home is in California, and he is anx- ious to join one of the Pacific Coast league clubs and eventually become manager. The Phillies are willing to let Cravath stay out on the Coast if they can get suitable right fielder to take his place. Yesterday there was talk that Frank Schulte might go to the Phillies from Pittsburgh, but Manager Jimmy Callahan wanted either Stock or Whitted in return for the right fielder. Manager Pat Moran, it is said, will net part with either of these players. He was willing, hew- ever, te trade Wilbur Coed for Schu1te.
 Charley Deoin, formerly manager of the Phillies and later with the Giants, had been appointed manager

GEORGE TYLER, VETERAN TWIRLER OF BRAVES, IS
 27 YEARS OLD TODAY

This is Tyler's birthday-not the Tyler, southpaw twirler of the Boston or something. but the great George Tyler, southpaw twirler of the oBston Braves. Born in Derry, N. H., 27 hurler got his baseball start on a semi-pro team in his native town, after having pitched for school and college hines. In 1909 lie was given a trial by the Lowell club of the New England league, but he was too wild to be of any use. The next year Tyler had another try at it, and by that time he had gained sufficient control to make his useful. He wore a Lowell uniform until the latter part of Aug ust, winning 1s and losing 6 games when he was sold to the Braves
 He joined the Boston club at once and pitched four games in the last few weeks Of the 1910 season, win ming two of 'em. George was still pretty wild, but he had a lot of stuff, and the Braves kept him on the payroll, although it was not until 1913 that he began to really make good. In. 1912 Tyler was traded to the Giants about 40 times-in the rumor factery-and he was swapped about the same number of times the following year.
 Rube Marquard was the man Bos- ten was to get for him, but somehow the trade didn't "take,'' and Tyler fingered on in Boston until 1914. when he was one of the ''big three" who pitched the Braves to a pennant. In 1914 Tyler had 16 victories to i 4 defeats; in 1915, 10 wins and nine lost, and this year IT victories to 10 defeats.

AFTER CARRIGAN
 10 COACH HARVARD


 Bill Carrigan has been asked to consider the proposition of baseball coach at Harvard. The Crimson baseball moguls have told Bill that they would like to see him coach their team. having heard that he is through with big league ball, -~and thinking tha the might care to accept the easier collegiate berth.
 They have offered him more money than any other baseball coach at Cam bridge has been shown. They show ed him how it would be possible for him to coach the Cantabs and yet not be away from Boston for more than the few days included in the annual spring southern" trip. the annual jaunt to New Haven and, pos sibly another one-day hop to New York, for the Yale game or games.
 The manager of two successive world champion outfits did not scoff at the Harvard offer. But he said that he could not accept it, though fully appreciating the compliment.
