THINK FREE PASSES
TO BOYS WILL HAVE
BAD EFFECT IN ST. LOUIS

Buying the Cardinals has been the
civic sport of St. Louis. James C..
Jones makes it good by giving every
citizen Of st. Louis a chance to share
in the purchase Of the Cardinals. The
plan, with all it's attendant features,
is so novel that there is no unanmity
of opinion as to it's feasibility, writes
John B. Sheridan in the st. Louis
Globe-DemocrNt.
Many Of the experts think that CIV
ing a free ticket. with every share OF
stock, good for a boy under 16. would
demoralize the boys as far as base
ball is concerned. ''4t would teach
the boys to look for something for
nothing" said moralist, land tend
to turn out thousands of pass fiends
every year. have never seen boy
who got his baseball easily who cared
about it. Give aSboy a season pass to
baseball games and you destroy his
interest in the game. Let him rub
ber' through or over the fence and
you make him a fan for life. Any
thing that a boy gets easily never
does him any good. Mr.. Jones is by
way of spelling boys by being too good
to them"
CLUB owners whose cn1eI interest Is
in the gate will look askance at any
scheme which tends to show free
tickets broadcast in the city. Presi-
dent Tener cautiously says it might
be agreed to, but does not actually
commit himself. Baseball club own
ers are not inclined toward new
ideas, even when there is no good ar
gument against them. It remains to
be seen how they will act toward the
st. Louis plan.

GIANTS TO QUIT
CAMP MAR. Is
FOX LONG TOUR

Marlin, Tex, March 17-John J.
McGraw has finally decided to take
his regulars away from Marlin for
the remainder Of the spring, when
they leave here for San Antonio on
March %. A new schedule of games
arranged by John B. Foster for the
first team has made possible the
change from the original plan that
called for the regulars to remain here
until March 80. The new dates book
ed are Waco, March 26 and 81; Dali
las, 28th, and Forth Worth with De-
troit Tigers March 10.
On March 81 and April the Giants
and Tigers will play in Dallas. Both
teams then will play games in Okla
foma, Kansas City and indianapolis
and then the Giants will go to Boston
to open the championship season with
the Braves on April II.
The second team may remain in
Marlin until March 80 unless Mr.
Foster succeeds in arranging games
to be played on the way home.
Yesterday afternoon was devoted
lars and the second team. Only five
and half innings were played, but
in that short time the second team
piled up 16 runs, while the regulars
scored only three. Most of the runs
were scored while Pie Way was
pitchins:, the winners making nine
runs off him in the second inning,
every player making a run in the in
ming. A tumble by Fletcher after two
were out gave the second team their
start.
Anderson's pitching for the four in
nings he was in the box for the VIC
tors was revelation. He used for
the first time in his pitching career a
"knuck1e BALI that he said he prac-
tised all winter.
Jim Thorpe followed up his big
batting streak Of the last fewdays by
hammering out triple and three
singles in four times up.

Jim Corbett Beaten
on st. Patrick's Day
by Bob Fitzsimmons

st. Patrick's Day is one Of bitter
memories for James J. Corbett, for the
well known Thespian recalls that it
was on the festival oft he. Hibernian
saint, just twenty years ago, that Bob
Fitzimmons robbed him of his title at
Carson city. One the same day, as a
preliminary to the main event, Dial
Hawkins, the California lightweight,
broke into the pugilistic hall of fame
by putting Martin F1aherty to sleep in
the shortest time on record.
Another famous fistic celebration of
the day was the bout between Young
Critic and Ike Weir, which was pulled
off at Chicago in 1894. Critic, an
Australian. prepared for the affair by
getting gloriously soused, and he had
to be boiled out in a Turkish bath
few hours before the fight. In spite
of that he went in and gave the Bel
fast Spider an awful drubbinR.
In the third round Weir was on the
floor. apparently knocked out, when
the cops hoped into the ring and
ring and broke up the festivities. The
police were Irish, and very fond of
Weir, son of the ouId sod, and to
see him given a beating was not their
idea Of proper observance Of the day.

Zachary D. Wheat, long distance hit
ter Of the champion Brooklyn Robins,
has tentatively agreed to sign 1917
contract and is coming here on Sun
day to discuss terms with Charley
Ebbets
: Wheat agreed to a conference after
Wilbert Robinson had advised him
that the offer the club had made him
was fair and that Brooklyn fans
would sorely miss him If he retired.
The coming of Buck will fill the
boys with renewed confidence as was
indicated by their enthusiastic talk
here yesterday. With him in line, the
players are now demanding that the
last of the holdouts, Casey Stengel,
be brought to camp. and in compli-
ance with the wishes of his men,
Robbie will despatch a telegram to
Stengel similar to the one that he
sent to Wheat. =,

SHOEMAKER WINS
POOL TITLE AGAIN,
BEATING REONOLDS

New York, March 17-For the
fourth consecutive time J. Howard
Shoemaker is the holder Of the ma
tional amateur pocket billiard cham
pionship. In the final match of. this
season's tournament at the New York
Athletic club last night, he vanquished
his old-time rival, Edward F. Ray
nolds, by 1875 to 101. Compared with
the skill which each Of the contestants
has shown on past occasions, the con-
test did not live up to expectations, but
il it was lacking in mastery play, the
deficiency was more than made up in
it's closness.
In the two previous tournaments
Reynolds, who was then, as now, a.
contestant in the final game against
Shoemaker, hardly got under way be-
fore his opponent had the contest nail
ed safely to his standard. But last
night it was different. While Shoe
maker was Whit off stroke. Reynolds
moved along merrily in the early
frames. and there was never more than
a few points separating the men, until
the century mark was reached.
Then Raynolds had the misfortune
to find his own stroke failing him, and
he was unable to take advantage of
lHe opportunities WHICH presented Tor
at least holding close to his antagon-
list.
Both men confined their attention to
cautious rather than brilliant billiards,
and the repeated safeties made the
match drag bit The fact that Shoe
maker fought shy Of the smashing into
the pyramid was proof that he did not
consider his stroke as trustworthy as is
usually the case. Reynolds, = too,
avoided the breaking up Of the worries
except when there was a clear-cut OPP
portunity to pocket ball. fl

JIMMY CALLAHAN,
PIRATE MA i. GER.
IN GAME Is YEARS

James J. Callahan, boss of the
Pirates, will have a birthday celebrat-
ton tomorrow, as he was born in
Fitch burg, Mass, March Is, 1874.
Jimmy has made living out Of the
pastime for nearly quarter of a
century, starting with semi-pro club
in 1893. He was with Springfield,
Mass. in '95 and Kansas City the fol-
lowing year, breaking into the Ma
tional league with the Cubs 20 years
ago. He switched to the White Sox
in 1901, and stuck with Comiske,"
as player and pilot, until the close -
the 1914 season, with the exception of
five years spent in managing an in
dependent tean1/in the Windy City.
He started. as a pitcher, but later
in his career played Doth infield and
outf1eld. Callahan has made excel
lent progress in getting together a
good bunch of youngsters, and it be-
gins to look as If the Pirates would be
in the running this year

YANKS ASKING
WAIVERS ON 2
BATTERY men

Macon, Ca, March 17-Wild Bill
Donovan has performed his first oper-
alton in cutting down the big squad of
Yankees here. He announced yester-
day that waivers had been asked on
Catcher Ben Shaw. and that the play
er had been claimed by the Pittsburgh
Nationals. It also became known that
waivers had been asked on Dan Tip
pie, the $4,000 pitcher, who has failed
to report to the club.
Shaw was drafted by the Yankees
from the Macon club of the South At
lantic League last Fall. He had been
recommended as . good catcher, and
to some extent he lived up to the
recommendation this Spring. But he
came to Donovan with a sore arm
early this month, and Wild Bill could
find no place for him on catching
staff that already included Walters,
Nunamaker and Alexander. AS soon
as the time limit expires Shaw will
be sent to Columbus, where the
Pirates are training.
The request for waivers on Triple
is the elimination of a hold-out that
failed. Triple has. probably had his
last trial with the Yanks. He made
such a poor showing last Spring that
he was turned over to Baltimore
where he had a fairly good season.
This year he demanded an increase
in salary. When it was refused him
he held out on the club until week
ago, when he sent in his signed con-
tract. He is now three weeks late
in reporting, and would have little or
no chance to win place on the pitch
ing staff

CAN'T GET PARK
FOR 3RD YALE VS.
PRINCETON GAME

New Haven, March 1.-THE basel
ball arrangements Of Princeton and
Yale universities are confronted with a
situation so complex that there is
small probability that it can be solved
to the satisfaction Of either institu-
ton. The question relates to the
playing Of the third game between
the Orange and Black and the Blue
this spring. The agreement between
the two arrangements provides that a
third baseball game shall be played
on a neutral field, irrespective of the
outcome of the two first games, one
Of which shall be played at Princeton
and the other at New Haven.
For years Yale and Princeton only
played the third game in case each
team had won a game and the third
contest was necessary to decide vic
tor. This third game, when necessary
was Invariably played at the Polo
Grounds, New York. In recent years
sowevef, since the~New. York Ameri-
cans have been using the Polo
Grounds. there is continuous ball on
found it necessary to play their third
Z
Grounds or seek another field.
l. Last year Ebhets Field Brooklyn,
was available for the use Of the two
colleges, and in fact this park, can be
used on alternate years as the field for
the playing of the third game between
the two teams. However, every Other
year the Brooklyn team is in the east
and using its park, just at the time
when the third game between Yale
and Princeton is played.
There are two fine parks within the
metropolitan area, either one OF
which would be an ideal place, for the
playing Of this game, but the peculiar
legal conditions surrounding both
make it impossible to rent these
parks for baseball purposes. These
are the parks Of the former Federal
league clubs in Brooklyn and Newark
Princeton and Yale would like to
play their third game this year on
June 23, which falls on Saturday. Eb,
bets Field is unavailable on that date.
Brooklyn playing there on that date
and SO is the Polo~ Grounds, as the
Yankees are scheduled there on that
date. Both collegesN would be willing
to go to Philadelphia and play the
game at Shfbe Park, which will not
be in use on that date, but it is hard
1y likely that the Philadelphia club
management would agree to such a
proposition. For years major league
clubs have been working under an
agreement whereby the renting OF
their parks for outside enterprises Is
discouraged, although not absolutely
prohibited.

CALDWELL EU.,LS
! IN FIFE FORM AND
YANKEES ..EJOICE

Macon, Ca, March 17-Seasoned
and expert pitchers were on the crest
in the battle Of the Yankees yester-
day. A snappy and cleverly played
en-inning scrap took place, which
the second team won, to 2. The
second team won by stronger hitting,
and the propelEng bat of Leslie Nun
amaker was conspicuous. It drove
IN two runs and was associated with
a later three-run rally.
Caldwell and Cullop pitched for
the winners, Mogridge and Shawkey
for the regulars. Caldwell and Cullop
were the more efficient pair; they
were in fine form and gave displays
Of head work and manual s1.ill. They
had control. change Of pace, and out
guessed the batters.
The fielding was first class by both
teams. Peckinpaugh, at short
handlsd grounders with exceptional
ease and skill. A smart play was
made by Gilhooley. one worthy OF
moth as showing the adaptability and
quick grasp bf this player. The reg
ulars had a man on third and the op.
posing field was playing close. Gil
hooley~ deity tapped a fly over the
infeld in a safe spot.
Baker showed some gray matter
by pulling up on the path and delay.
ing his finish long enough to prevent
a double play and thus permit a tally
to cross the plate. He didn't show so
much when he idled at first and was
caught mapping by the artful CaId-
well. Baker made two hits. So did
Hendryx, Bankston. and Nunamaker.
Bankston appeared to better advant-
age than heretofore. His fielding was
good, though they say he is a slow
outflelder.
Bob Shawkey has not been up to
the mark his last two times out He
was wild again yesterday. He was
raped for three safeties in the fifth
inning, and in addition gave a pass
and made wild pitch.
The New York club asked for
waivers on Ben Shaw, the catcher,
but the Pittsburgh club would not
waive. Therefore, Shaw will become
a, Pirate. In case of a railroad strike

nah and take the boat there for New

few CHANGES ORDERED IN

New Regulation to Prevent Injury Prohibits Cut

New York, March 1.-THE Foot
ball Rules Committee went into lses-
sion at the Biltmore yesterday after
noon for its annual consideration Of
the playing code. The result Of the
committees deliberations will be
made public tonight. It is under
stood that only minor changes in the
rules were discussed.
The nature of these changes, it is
believed, will not affect the structure
Of the game The committee is
known to regard the present code as
highly satisfactory, and went into
session primarily for the purpose OF
further clarifying the code.
The suggestions OF George Foster
Sanford, the Rutgers College Coach,
were considered, and it was said that
the committee had decided favorably
