FOUND A COAL Mine
AND QUIT BASEBALL
Hans Wagner Finally Tells Why
He Dropped Game.

PITTSBURGH. Pa. May 2s.-Hans
Wagner has broken silence as to the
real causes Of his retirement from the
diamond. He made his first visit to
Headquarters saturday since the sea
son OF 1916. President Dreyfuss was
surprised when the shortstop walked
in and shook hands with him.
He was very friendly to the Pirate
owner. and consented to unburden
himself as to the real reason of his
quitting. Some time ago. in digging
up his proper at Carnegie for build
ing purposes. a vein OF coal was un-
earthed,N and investigation showed II
to be very valuable.
As coal is getting scarcer than ever
in this district and the demand great
er all the time, he decided to stop
building at that particular spot and
continue to dig. with the result that
he has been assured by coal experts
that there is enough black diamonds
on his property to make him a very
rich man. Said he:
Il have decided to take care OF my
caol interests personally, as ] realized
couldn't last more than this year on
the diamond, il that much even. |
did not quit because Of reduction in
salary, and Mr. Dreyfuss and are as
friendly as we were at any time, anu
that means a lot to me. | am sorry
the BOYS are at the bottom, and wish
could neIp them out. May be | will
some day.

FOOTBALL TRAINING
GREAT FOR SOLDIER
Briekley, Rookie in Harvard Re-
serve Corps, Says So.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. May 2S-"This Il
surely a strenuous life" said Charles
Brickley, the famous Harvard football
player, after he had finished his first
week as a rookie in the Harvard Re
serve Officers Training Corps.
Eight hours a day Of military tao
tics for three months Will serve to At
me for real service with~Unele Sam.
1 have certainly Uut on weight the
last six months, but, at the rate ] am
working now. will soon be minus
that excess.
Il think the training that football
players receive under any OF the rec
ognized football systems fits them the
more for war service than training in
any other sport would do. The foot
ball man must have his brains in his
rule, a strict observer OF discipline, &C
custohed to do as he is told without
questioning. and is used to respond
in the pinches.
above all, the footballer is an
everyday recipient OF knocks and
bruises. He naturally expects them.
and some of the players feel out OF
sorts when they haven't an injury or
two. to nurse through a season.
think I'm going to like this training
and hope to enter the PlattsburE camp
in August, providing I am not quail
fed by that time to get a commission
in any army that is to tight abroad.

STATE MEET TO START
EARLY IN THE MORNING
First Event Begins al 1890
O'clock on Memorial Day.

Maryland State College has changed
the time Of starting its meet Memorial
Day. The plans originally contem-
plated an afternoon start On We'd
nesday the athletes will be gotten to-
gether at 1890 a m.
The entrance of the county schools
in the Maryland State meet will make
the list OF events considerably longer
than was at frst thought
When the meet was set for May 5
the county school events were cut on
the program. Since the change Of the
date to May 80 the county school boys
asked to have the events put back.
Practically all of the Washington
high schools are sending athletes on
Wednesday for the schoolboy events.
Central. Technical. Western. Business,
and Eastern win be represented.
From out OF town. Baltimore Poly.
Baltimore City College. and the Tome
School are expected to furnish the op-
position.
Director Of Athletics H. C. Byrd. OF
State. declares the meet will be the
largest ever held at College Park in
point Of numbers and events.

LEADERSHIP AT STAKE
IN GLANT-PHILLY GAMES
National Leaguers Open Big Series
IN New York Today.

NEW YORK, May 2s.-The FIRST
struggle Of real Importance for first
place quarters in either OF the major
leagues will be on in New York today
when the Giants and Phillies tangle
In q double-header.
Pat Moran has just led his one-time
champions into the lead-off station,
and McGraw only recently dropped a
peg. The fact that the Giants have
been donated the Tener flag by most
devotees of baseball by virtue of their
driving power makes the series take
on considerable significance.
II the Phillies can attach the long
end Of the series they will be in a
strongly fortified position when they
leave New York. But II they drop
the majority the chances OF their
holding the, glory niche will be shaved
on considerably.
Grover Cleveland Alexander doubt
less viii hurl one OF the contests for
the PhillieG- The Phillies have not
shown as q goood club against the
Giants when playing in New York.
Their. forte apparently is to win
gamess in the trick park at Phila-
adelphia- However, a battle may be
looked for, because II means q hard,
long struggle TO get back II the
Quakers slide even q little bit while
here.

JOE WOOD ENTITLED
40 ANOTHER CHANCE
Battered by Yanks After a Years
Layof.

NEW YORK, May 2s.-After a year
81 idleness. Joe Wood pitched his first
game for the CleveIands on Saturday,
and the Yankees collected eleven bin
giles in eight frames. Wood probably
was afraid to extend himself, and
therefore Is entitled to another
chance to prove that he can pitch as
we'll as ne dad in 1912, when he won
thirty-four games and lost fve.
Woods skill that year enabled the
Red Sox to win the American League
pehnant and the worlds series from
the Giants, but he has been ailing
ever since. In spite OF his ineffec-
tiveness, howeve he has demanded
. higher salary.
The Red SoK sold him to the Cleve-
lands last spring for $4,000. and
Wood signed a new contract for big
money, feeling sure that he would
be q winner.
Perhaps hot weather will help
Wood, but there are many baseball
men who believe that he has seen his
best days.

Double Bill Due With Champs
Griffmen and Red Sox VIII Stage Four Fine
Fights Here in Next Two
Days.
ny LOUIS A. DOUGHER-

timorean is playing good ball and the
quartet is not weakened to any extent
by his presence.
Sam Rice has begun to hit and his
wild running on the bases is becom-
ing marked every day. The oppoa-
ing pitchers have already begun
watching him once he reaches nrst
base. Rice is not q clever base steal
er, but he IL q fiend Of stretching his
own hits or taking extra cushions
when those behind him swat the pill
Milan's hitting has fallen OF q bit.
but the Tennesseean should come back
with q rush. He has not been well
for a couple Of weeks, but Is now
himself once more, which means
superflne playing in every way.
Smith In DangerO1s.
Elmer Smith is always dangerous
with the weight OF his wagon tongue
swung to meet the apple. The Milan,
Ohio, boy Is not facing many south
paw pitchers. but he is clouting the
right handlers satisfactorily.
The best thing about the Grinmep
now is their hghting spirit Fans
always rally behind the fighting.
scrappy outfit and, II for no other
reason. washingtonians should turn
out to hearten the bunch during their
coming long stay at Georgia avenue.
Manager Griffith says he IL satisfied
with his position in the race at this
time OF the campaign, for he is but
few steps behind the first division.
A couple Of short winning streaks can
bring the Griffs right up into the
select four leading the race.
