SUIT BRINGS RESULT
Sheppard Got No Money, But New
Running Track 10 COMING.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-As a result
OF the legal action brought by Mel
Sheppard against the former owners
of Madison Square Garden, the hust-
ling track and field athletes will have
a brand-new board floor to run on
when they strip for the annual winter
sport carnival OF the Mfllrose Athletic
on January "a.
II was In his last effort as a COM
peting athlete that Mel Sheppard was
severely injured while running on the
Garden track. 1t was a 3o0-yard dash.
and Mel, while booming along up the
back stretch. stepped on a piece OF
board that was defective. and his foot
went through.
Just how Shep missed breaking his
leg Is beyopd the comprehension OF
those who saw that fall. He got of
with a very painful leg hurt. and at
once brought suit against the Gar
den management. and against the
New York Athletic Club, holding the
games, as well.
The. n. Y. A. c. was held not re-
sponsibIe, and the owners of the Gar
den went into bankruptcy. so Shep-
pard's suit was not productive, as far
as Peerless Mel was concerned, but Il
has done something for the athletes
who are competing today.
The new owners OF the Garden,
hearing of Sheppard's experience, de-
termined to take no chances, and the
new running track Is the result of
their quick action.

VERSATILE PLAYER
Ross Young Can Play inhsId or
Garden With Equal skin.


NEW YORK, Jan. 11.lThouEh q
young player taken to Marlin by the
Giants next month goes southwark
with very little chance Of landing 4
job, there IL one. youngster who win
be closely watched, and If John Nc
Graw takes fancy to him Clarence
Mitchell, of Cincinnati will mud that
he has . rival as an all around man
in the league. The rookie In question
Is Ross Young, secured from the
ton ~
Young has the happy faculty OF be-
ing able 70 play both the inield and
outleld. and the records show that At
various times last season he played
second base, shortstop, third base and
the outneld ana covered each position
well. Perhaps under the tuteIase OF
the Little Napoleon he may improve
on his talents, and learn to pitch,
catch, and play the initial bag.
Another prominent feature Of
Young's work. is his ability to swing
bat to advantage, and this In al
ways a welcome attribute for Q man,
recruit and veteran alike.
The Western Association season is
divided into halves, and the consoli-
dated averages for the two halves OF
the 1916 campaign show that Young
clouted the ball for q grand average
of 1852. In 137 games he went to bat
539 times, made 103 runs, 1e5 hits for
q total OF 249 bases and stole a sacks
during the year.
A player who can NIL in readily at
almost any position is OF course q
valuable man, as the Cincinnati club
has discovered in the case Of Mitchell.
This player at different times last sea
son played first base. pitched, covered
the outneld and acted as pinch hitter.
In one series against the Giants he
did all four and made plenty OF trouble
for McGraw's men in doing so.
Then there is George Sisler, Of the
Browns, rated as one Of the greatest
players in the game. A man OF this
type would come in handy to the
Giants, and Young may rest assured
that he will be given every oppor-
tunity in the world to show what he
can do,
