BITTERNESS OF PAST

Fight for Governorship viii Be

Administration
By FRED II. GoRMLEY

Montgomery, December 22-(Special.)
One act Of Congress this week ended all
talk of a state political campaign being
waged with economy and business as
the paramount issues and served notice
on politicians and public that prohibit
ton and local option must be given chief
consideration and that the bitterness of
old will come again to the state and will
remain until the primary August 13, 1913.
The submission of the constitutional
amendment for national prohibition
Broke up few political playhouses
and smothered those who insisted that
Alabama refuse again to permit any
consideration of the issue which has been
before the people since 1907 There were
many sincere local optionists who in
sisted that the prohibition laws should
remain on the statute books rather than
force another campaign of bitterness
There were many prohibitionists who
were satisfied to let matters remain as
they were. But now their old thoughts
have been forgotten.
The night is on. Thomas E. KiIbv of
Admission, lieutenant governor and candi-
date for governor, will support the con-
stitutional amendment. John III. Wallace.

Hard to Pick
Leading Star
In Baseballdom

Picking the leading baseball player
in named position is a man-sized
task. To draw comparison between
certain players is overstepping the
bounds Of sane criticism at times. To
say that Babe Ruth or Walter Johnson
or Grover Alexander is the best pitcher
in the game might be true, but il would
be sure TO start an argument over the
merits of his rivals.
For instance. il can hardly be said
that Arthur Fletcher or Roger IIornsby
is the best shortstop in the National
League merely because il is true that
they lead az hitters. Neither can it be
said that Meanwhile or Bancroft or
Workman is the best because he is a
fashy, fast and accurate fielder. Each
mans worth has 70 be considered.
From a strictly defensive standpoint
it probably is permissible TO announce

as hitter, but he is better fielder
than either. However. that does not
.ntitle him 20 be called the best short
stop IN the game.
Comparisons Of the same sort may
be drawn from almost every position.
Ty Cobb, OF course. stands alone as an
offensive playing outhelder. As a
fielder he is not Iris Speaker.
One might pick Babe Ruth as the
best southpaw, but that hardly pro-
novnces him the best pitcher.

Injury Forced
Roush to Play

Eddie Roush. the spectacular out

with his left hand, was a regular fell

was a highlander, but he threw his

Olson Setting Fast Pace
With Champion Dodgers
Ivy Hits Ball Hard and
Timely and Is Fielding
Most Cleverly
By w. J. MACBETH

Sometimes q new string makes >
great difference TO an old violin. And
one ball player often makes a differ
ence to a club. The Pirates might not
have gone so far and so well in the
heyday of Fred Clarke If Hans Wag-
ners mind had not been on his work.
McGraw might have been an ordinary
experiment as National League man
ager if Christy Mathewson had been
signed by some club other than the
Giants.
Wherefore, in all humility, we sub
nit Exhibit A of the champion Dodg-
ers. Ivan NJ. Olson is his name, and
he plays the short field for Uncle
Robbies club. There are better short
stops, perhaps. Hans Wagner isn't dead
not quite yet-and a stray Maran-
Vile or two keep waddlng about
Which is neither here nor there when
Ivy Olson is the topic.
Presenting he will continue to hit
as he has so far there are few better
shortstops in the business than this
same Ivy. He seems to have acquired
the knack Of the old punch. Olson,
according to the latest averages. has
just managed TO sneak into the select
800 circle. but for many weeks he set
pace that had the sluggers of the
Tener circuit distinctly worried.
Laboring Under Handicap
And Olson has been laboring under
a handicap. He's not the fastest man
in the country, and consequently not
the best subject to top a batting list.
But there Uncle Robbie has played him
this season. 4 man at the head of
the order is supposed to gamble to the
furthest extent on opposing pitching
control. lie has not the same leeway
as some others further submerged.
In spite of his exalted position in
the array, Olson this season has been
one of the most reliable swatters of
all the Dodgers. And swatting is one
of the greatest virtues Of Robinson's
men. He not only has hit well, but
has hit timely. The Dodgers do not
boast a more dangerous clouter for
pinch hitting purposes.
IL would take a lot Of coaxing and
coolies of dough, too, TO wean Zach
Wheat. Jake Daubert or Casey Stengel
from Robinson. Yet none of this big
trio has been a more potent factor in
whatever success the Dodgers attained
last year than Ivan VI. Olson. 1t was
because of his versatile genius that
the Robins nosed out the Phillies for
the pennant a year ago.
Brooklyn's great weakness through
most Of the 1916 campaign centred
around the short field position. In the
history Of baseball no team has won a
championship without a capable short
fielder. 1t looked for while as II
Brooklyn was going 10 suffer a kindred
fate in 1915. Ollie O'Mara. who started
out so well, would not do. Olson was

That is all that can be said.

He makes some brilliant plays, and
again he muifs easy ones. But he is

Binzen Wins Easy Victory
Over Clapp on the Court

lowing closely after his returns Of
Clapp's delivery. In the fifth and sew
enth games the old Yale athlete made
his bid and won by clever volleying
from fore-court, aided by Binzen's err.
rors. He was not able to maintain the
pace, however, and the Fordham stu
dent took the next game and the first
set at GO.
At the start Of the second set it
looked as though Binzen was about
due for wild streak, for, although he
led off the service, Clapp won the
game without trouble, passing his OPP
ponent with drives that nicked the
side lines. But if the spectators ex-
pected 70 see the former Yale hurdler
start a winning session they were sur
prised, for Binzen came right back
into his stride and reeled off the next
five games. His speed in covering
court was such that Clapp never had
an opportunity to move far from his
base line.
The indoor titleholder handled
everything that came over the net with
superb control, chopping off the ball
from close to the net and finding his
openings in the corners or down the
side lines.
Once moro, in the seventh and eighth
games, Clapp made a stand. He took
the seventh at love, and on Binzen's
service at that. Twice the Fordham
youth served double faults and twice
Clapp shot the ball down the side lines
for perfect placement aces. The
eighth game went to deuce, with sew
eial stirring rallies at the net, before
blnzen's opponent won with pretty
shots across the court. The ninth
session went TO the junior champion.
giving him the second set at 60.
Binzen Never Lets Up
Binzen never let up In his speedy
court covering, his determined net at
tacks and his hard hitting in the last
set, and the best Clapp could do was
to win the fourth and seventh games
The success of the Fordham Ifniver-
slty student in smothering his on
ponents attempted passing shots mn
doubtedly had their effect in SLOWING
Clapp up and making him timid abouf

Indoor Junior Champion
Shows He May Soon Break

Bnzen won in straight sets at 60,

will then face Clapp and Ralph L. Bags

Dance Spells Doubles
II was intended TO get the semi-inal
doubles match off yesterday, but all
of Friday night, several Of the most
valiant of the court gladiators being
unable TO recuperate in time to play.
Careful treatment, however, will bring
the dance hounds" around, it is be-
lieved.
Just before Binzen and Clapp took
the court yesterday there was a solemn
gathering on the clubhouse veranda
while Mrs. Fred Letson introduced the
members and their guests TO the new
wicker porch chairs, the result of the
women members industry in rafting
cigarettes and homemade sweaters
during the week. The chairs behaved
nicely.
Clapp began the service, but it
availed him not bit, for Binzen drove
the returns back with splendid pace
across the court for placement aces and
took the game at love. Clapp met with
no better fortune in the second game,
not getting a single point.
He found that Binzen's service was a
tricky thing 70 handle, for the junior
champion placed it with remarkable
skill squarely on the back hand. The
high, erratic bounds caused the ball to
curl up almost shoulder high. and
"stroking" it was entirely out Of the
question.
Clapp Appears Slow
Irresistibly Binzen forged ahead.
