foster OPINES THAT
WAR WILL HELP GAME
Points Out that During Troubled Times
the Game Flourished.

New York, Feb. I7.-John B. Foster, who
does the secretarying. for the New York
Giants, does not believe that baseball will
be made to suffer should the United States
be drawn into the war. He agrees with
President Ed. Barrow, of the Interna ton
al League, that the game might be slim
ulated rather than hurt by such an event,
though, OF course, he hopes that this
country will not be involved.
Foster points out that war has never
hurt baseball in this country. He says
that games OF baseball played by the SOL
diers during the civil war gave the game
great impetus.
During the Spanish American war"
says John, baseball was very prosperous.
Last year Toronto, in the International
League, enjoyed a very good year. and
since the war in Europe began baseball
Is being more widely played across the
water than ever before. English and
French people are playing baseball now
by the hundreds, and the game has even
Invaded Italy
The fact that games of baseball have
been played behind the fighting lines
speaks well for the game as a diversion
to the serious business OF war. One game,
played behind the lines at Verdun, went
seven innings before II was broken up
by the appearance OF hostile aeroplanes.
Only lne beaCOdSI cities WOulQ be az
fected to any extent In case the United
States should become involved in war"
continued Foster I'm the interior the
game would go along very much as 1t has
done in years OF peace. In New York
I do not believe that baseball would
be affected to any great extent, for
there are always so many visitors here
that the game is bound to prosper
II believe that the more men are
forced to keep their minds on serious
thing, the greater their desire for mental
relaxation becomes In case of a war,
I believe that a majority of the people
OF this country would be glad to gu
out to the ball parks in the afternoon.
II It was only to take their minds of,
war.
TT is very probable that everyone
would be talking war, but no better
place could be found than in the ball
parks. From my long experience in
the game, 1t is my belief that war
or no war, baseball is due to enjoy
a prosperous year"

ST. PAUL PRODUCES
MANY Ring ARTISTS
Many Topnotchers Hail from the
Twin CITY.

St Paul, Feb. 17.-when it comes to
the boxing championship of individual
cities, It appears that st. Paul, Mimi,
has the inside track, with a good chance
TO hold it for quite a while.
st. Paul boasts more boxers Of the
top-nOtCh class than any other city in
the country.
First of all there is Michael Gibbons
the phantom" who. although extern
sively criticized by many writer's, is
nevertheless, the best looking boy among
the dle-weights Of America by a long
way. Mikes brother. Tommy Gibbons,
Is another wonderful clever and capable
boxer who is coming fast, and may some
day rank among the best in the country.
Next comes Johnny Ertle. who claims
the bantam-w eight title, and who is rec
Ognized as the bantam champion by some
OF the writer's on boxing. while others
consider that the bantam division is so
tangled up that no one boxer can be
rightfuIly credited with the championship
At any rate. Ertle stands out as a ban
tam OF the top-notch class, and st. Paul
is his home.
In the light heavyweight division Billy
Miske, another st. Paul product. has
proven to the satisfaction of fistic critics
both East and West that he has a Just
claim to seat in the first row among
the near-big fellows, such as Dillon,
Levinsky and Darcy.
And the biggest Of all st. Paulians is
Fred Fulton, giant contender for the
willard skypece. Fulton is working his
way to the top. and he will eventually be
matched with Willard for the champion
ship.
Aside from these boxers are a number
Of good boys who deserve mention. They
are Mike O'Dowd. a good middle-weight;
Billy DeFoe, a feather-weight; Bobby
Ward. a lightweight OF better than the
average class. and Buff Seidel, a strong
lS3-pound boy who has been making rapid
strides in his division.
There are a few others, but in the
list named here we have called your
attention to the best of the st. Paul
contingent There is not another city
in the country that can show a better
hand Of boxing stars.

kid HERMAN READY
TO fight FOR TITLE
New Bantam-weight King from New
Orleans a Refreshing Champion.

Chicago, Feb. 17.-Pete Herman, of
New Orleans, new king of the bantam
weights, is a refreshing champion.
In these days when champions make
speciality of picking soft marks as
opponents, getting the money before
they enter the ring, then giving Grass
exhibitions that would disgrace a third
rater. his actions are a treat.
Herman's claim on the title may be
questionable, the flock of challengers,
large and classy, and his own ability a
mooted question, but his stand regard
ing the game is to be commended. He
says that he is ready to meet them ALL
and he makes no bones as to which be
will take on first. He will fight as Of
ten as he can get matches, and he pro-
poses to do IT in hammer and tongs
fashion. so that the doubling Thomases
may come to believe that he is a real
champion.
And-he hasn't mentioned the sub
ject of money or demanded huge purses
before he will discuss matches.
Johnny CKewpie) Ertle. the ST. Paul
bantam, who has claimed the title be-
cause he won on a foul from Kid Will
liams last year, probably will be Her
mans first opponent Tom Andrews,
the Milwaukee promoter. has opened
negotiations which bid fair to be sue
cessfuL
Kid Williams, from whom Herman
got the title on a referees decision
that was not generally satisfactory. is
starting out all over to mop up in the
division and get another try at the
crown. He started out with decision
over Benny Mcneil in Kansas City.
Williams is credited with displaying all
his old-time ferocity. and showed no
ten or twelve trotters combined, and their
rewards were ridiculously small.
These two wonderful performers must
either be raced for purses ranging be-
tween 81, ,ooo and 81, 300 or remain in their
stalls. Trotting managers either fail TO
recognize their value as gate attractions,
or refuse to do so because they believe
they can get them anyway.
When II is considered that the horses
available are numerous and that a free
for-all with a reasonable purse, drawing
such entries as the two already men
toned, together with Peter. Mac, Zom-
rect, Volga. Mary Putney, Peter Scott
Donna Iona and others who have marks
ranging from 2:03 IA to 2:06 IA, could be
depended upon to draw handsomely. il is
apparent that the meets are not conduct
ed with the foresight that should be used
1t Is said that such events as the NJ.
& NJ. and the Charter Oak stake may be
| moved back to the 2:l2 class, and that
other promoters OF the big purses are
likely TO follow suit and ii seems a pity
that the managers, instead of providing
for the best performers first have taken
| the other tack.
The war in Europe has made Il irnpos-
| sible for American horse owners to ship
| their stars abroad, and there is an abund-
ance OF material for some OF the greatest
racing meets in history

JOHN M'GRAW SPLITS
A PAIR OF CRONIES
Schupp Got Wise and Now Takes Life
as a Joke.

New York, Feb. 17-one day last
summer. when the Giants were at
their worst, John McGraw split up q
pair Of cronies. He sent one of these
lads to Louisville and gave the other
one the kind OF a call down that only
ScGraw can deliver
What pair of croniss was none other
t.--S Rube schauer and Ferdinand
schuES. called the "schush twins"
schauI was sent to the Louisville
Colonels sn>l schupp was told that he
was getting his last chance. He must
either make good or IT would be back
TO the tall and uncut timber for his.
From that time on Ferdie Schupp
got wise to himself. Up to the time
4 he was handed that memorable sermon
Ferdie had taken life as more OF a
joke than anything else. The fact
that the Giants were going bad was
nothing in his gay. young existence.
But McGraw Strengthened out his
ideas of the order OF things on q big
league club, and schupp came to him
self
When Ferdie first broke into the big
league he was a "cocky' youth He
knew he had a curve ball and he liked
to have someone watch him throw.
But when he got under fire he forgot
his curves, retained his cockiness and
was often driven from the box.
1t is surprising to think back and
recall the fact that this care-free
youngster played a very prominent
part IN the worlds record string of
victories scored by the Giants That
he was sent to the mound six times
and pitched six straight victories OF
the twenty-hx scored by New York:
That he was never relieved In one or
his six games and that he won four
Of them by the shutout route: But
that is exactly what Ferdie Schupp
did, and today he is looked upon as
one OF the most valuable young pitch
ers in the big leagues
Certainly he Is the best bet hcGraw
owns, and great things may be expected
OF him during the coming season, for he
has learned how to pitch and he has
tasted the sweet fruits of victory and
fame. From now on Ferdle Schupp Will
look at pitching for the New York Giants
as a very serious business and he will
put everything he has into every game.
IL was Schupp, by the way, who start
ed the Giants on their record-breaking
string OF victories. and It was Schupp
who pitched the twenty-sixth game.
In the string OF six victories won by
SchupD he allowed the opposition but
seventeen hits and only three runs. He
allowed two OF these runs to the Pitts
burgh Pirates on September Is. and the
other lonely tally was made by Brooklyn
in the first game September T.
His six victories came within a stretch
OF twenty-one days and the games he
won were the first, seventh. twelfth, six
teenth, twenty-irst and twenty-siIth IN
the Giants great string.
Here Is Schupp's record for the record
breaking series, and 1t Is ons of which
he may be proud:
First game, September New York, I;
Brooklyn, /; two hits
Seventh game, September 1eNew York,
3; Cincinnati, 0; three hits.
Twelfth game, September 1+New York,
?: Pittsburgh. o; three hits.
Sixteenth game. September a-New

Hoyt Nav Go to Memphis

New York, Feb. T.-Waite Hoyt, the
young pitcher of Brooklyn. will in all
probability be farmed out to the Mem

this season. Mike Ronlin, the once
great outfielder. who was recently ap-
pointed manager of the Memphis
team. has been dickerlng with Nc
Graw for the services OF the BROOKLYN
youngster. Donlin is also angling for
several other youngsters OF the
Giants. McGraw will help him as
much as possible to make good in his
new position.

M'COY NOT TO BOX DARCY.
New Opponent to Bc Selected to

New York, Feb. 17.-Because Al Mccoy.
the middle-weight champion, is under
contract to box Jack Dillon at the Broad
way Sporting Club in Brooklyn, II has
lust been announced that Mccoy will not
be Les Darcy's opponent in his first bout
in this country. which was scheduled for
Madison Square Garden on March D.
Grant Hugh Browne. who now conducts
boxing at the Garden, does not want Nc
Gov as an attraction II he appears at
another club previous to the Garden bout.
This confusion in McCoy's dates may
result in a new opponent for Darcy, and

ARIzoNAs METAL PRODUCTION

The production of the copper states
for the year Of 1916, is estimated at
the 2,311 .000. 900 pounds. which at a
valuation of 81 cents per pound would
amount to $4,000. 900. OF that
amount Arizona produced s75 900 900
pounds, valued at 1882, 2,25O 900, one
third Of the total product Of the Unit
ed States. With o:her metal produc-
tion the value OF the mineral output
Of the state will run above 5000. .0O0.-
900. the greatest Of any state in the
union.
just think Of It: Arizona, with q
population sef about 250, 900. making a
metal production of $500 for every
man, woman and child in 1t. If we
take the actual number Of people en-
ployed in the production Of metals in

WILL WORK BECKY SHARP

R. 1. Hughes says the water will
be drained from the Becky Sharp and
Federal mines by next week. SO that
It will be possible to get down to
the 500-foot level and commence tax
ing out ore. The diamond drill hole,
run from the Old Town, is releasing
the water at the rate of 60 gallons
q minute.
The drill hole was run from the
500-foot level in the Old Town a dis
tance of $50 feet. The level is 500
feet in length. The cost of drilling
the hole was $500 foot, which was
big saving over pumping CT other
means Of freeing the mine Of water.
Mr.. Hughes attempted to raise the
but found this method slow and cost
ly and then conceived the idea of
drilling hole from the Old Town.
Where he will start taking out ore
in the Becky Sharp and Federal is a
big body that Ress and partners
worked On when they were compelled
to quit on account Of litigation. Some
Of the iron was running over IL ounc'
es in gold. A big quantity Of ore
was left broken in the mine when tn
leasers suspended work. Ress and
partners carried stope up so feet
and from where they quit to the sur
face is $50 feet of virgin ground.
Ress and associates have lease
on the Pewabic mine and are arrang-
ing to start work next week. The
Pewabic is effected by the drainage
Of the Becky Sharp. There is good
ore in the Pewabic. but has not been
mined owing to the expense Of hand
ling the water.
