ON SPORTING MATTERS

A later start for major league base
ball teams has been advocated again,
AAgnHtes have gotten In line to sup
port later start. II IL beyond the
realms OF possibility to expect the
fans TO SILVER through spring games
when the weather Is more seasoneble
for football. Considerable money
could be saved by later starting not
only In regard to a curtailed training
season but in operating parks, EN-.
ployes, and players.
Tho excellent appearance OF the
Central stadium for the track games
Saturday brought forth much favor
able comment from the discerning
ones. The track was in excellent
shape, the jumping and vaulting pits
were pleasing to the eye. ChAlked
lines separated the alleys on the
track with mathematical precision.
A master hand had been at work.
When the jumping started, Ground
keeper Fitzgerald, who used to keep
Clark Grifnth's diamond in perfect
condition, appeared with a rake to
massage the pits. Fitz beamed. He
had been waiting to show on and had
gotten away with It to perfection.

There Is no denying that sport is in

The startling fielding Of Sam Crane
featured the defensive work OF the
Grffmen yesterday at Cleveland His
stop of Chapman's wickedly high bounce
in the fourth was masterful. while he
almost got Speaker after going into
deep short for his safety. So far as
fielding is considered, he is the reA
thing. His hit was a swinging bunt
that Coyeleskie couldn't throw in time
10 catch the speedy runner.
About fifteen thousand fans turned
out to see the game. and they all en-
joyed Nick Altrock's antics before
and during the contest They rooted
constantly for the Indians. but were
quick to bawl Umpire Mccormick
for his poor decision in the seventh.
Johnny KiIbane, American feather
weight champion, with his wife,
George Chip, the middleweight, and
Jimmy Dunn, the champions man
ager, occupied seats beside the press

Sam Rice had two assists, an Tn
usual thing for an oUtielder. In the
third. he grabbed Coveleskie's appar-
ent safety and got him at first. In
the sixth, he took Coveleskie's fly
ball and doubled up O'Neill at first
with a perfect throw.
Graney and Evans contributed the
best fielding Etunts for the Indians,
both cutting hits on from Smith and
