New York, July 21.-Major league
magnates and managers are showing a
strong preference this year for ball
players with a past
In ordinary times the big league
pilots pay little attention to pill toss
ers who have seesawed back and forth
from the minors to the big show. They
usually break their necks bidding for
the "phenoms" who spring up inthe
tail and uncut sticks, and they have
paid some fabulous prices for this
class of player
But 1917 is no ordinary year. The
majors have been slow to sign young
sters and seemingly eager to jump at
the chance Of getting players who
have had big league experience, but
who because Of age or some minor
defects have failed to stick on big
time.
The recent signing Of Bobby Wal.
lace by the Cardinals is a most vivid
example of the tendency. Bobby
Wallace, the veteran of veterans,
player whose name appeared in the
box scores before Lajoie broke into
the lmelight, is back again in the
role of utility infielder with the Cards.
His comeback marks fms TO fiji
teen-year absence from the National
League, for he jumped from the Car
dinals back in 1902 to cast his for
tunes with the Browns, who were
making their first start in st Louis
His long years of service with the
Browns and his ultimate release il re-
seemed only natural that Wallace
should step down and out, and when
he was made a member of the
Wichita western Lcague) club the
majors bid him good-by all time,
But Wallace is back and the own
ers of the Cardinals figure that he is a
valuable asset, in which they are more
than likely to he upheld by his work
whenever the occasion arises to use
him in the lineup,

Tennis To Do It's Bit.

Not to be outdone by the 'gowfers.'
the tennis players OF the country have
como TO the front with resolution to
do their bit for Uncle Samuel and tho
cause by equipping and manning
three ambulance sections for field ser
vice in France
In order to accomplish this aim the
tennis players must raise 100000 by
popular subscription and the prOcesda
of special patriotic tournaments. The
fund was given good boost In New
York recently through subscriptions
which amounted to $500, collected at
a dinner given In honor Of William J.
of Forest Hills, l.. l., who left for
France to become an ambulance driv-
er. If the response throughout the
country Is half as generous the fund
will shoot for above the 100000 mark
The personnel of each ambulance
section will include total Of thirty
seven men, and it Is proposed that
each section be manned entirely by
tennis players The equipment will
consist Of twenty-five motors, includ.
ing twenty amhulances. two trucks. a
touring car, a kitchen trailer and a
motorcycle
Players who wish to volunteer their
services should notify Paul b. vii.
