IN GIANTS CAMP

Marlin, Texas, March 5-The ar
rival of all the missing regulars ex-
cept Charley Herzog was the only
break in the dull routine of storm
bound Sunday in camp for the Giants.
Catcher George Gibson, who came
from Canada, registered at noon, and
either other athletes were delivered
by John buckingham Foster late in
the afternoon. Foster did not make
the last leg of the trip, as he was
booked through to Ell Paso.
There were ten persons in the party
that arrived just in time for dinner
last night. George Burns and Sheriff
Sallee were accompanied by their
wives, and those who arrived with
them are Pol Perritt, Bill Rariden,
Heinie Zimmerman, Arthur Fletcher,
Davy Robertson and Fred Anderson.
The Giants training party now num-
bers more than 60 persons. Herzog
is coming from Florida, and is expect
ed today.
Indications are. that this will be a
good week for practice, as the cloudy
weather has been blown away by one
Of those Texas "Northers.'
It would have been impossible to
have played in Dallas yesterday on &C
count Of cold weather, and McGraw
is grateful to Doc White for calling
off the game and saving the Giants
the trouble and expense of an I'M
necessary trip. Two more games are
scheduled there next Saturday and
Sunday, and McGraw hopes to have
his regular team whipped into fail
shape by that time.

GEORGE SLOSSON, GREAT
BILLIARD PLAYER, is
60 YEARS OLD TODAY

George Slosson, the grand old man
Of billiards, was born at DeKalb,
N. Y, SO years ago today, March 5,
1854. Slosson is the last survivor of
that generation of great billiardists
which included Jacob Schaefer, Will
liam Sexton, Frank Ives, John Rob-
erts and Maurice Vignaux. He started
his public career with the cue nearly
half a century ago, n 1869, as a lad of
Is, and at that tender age he defeated
as good a player as Maurice DAILY. In
1872 he defeated SchAefer, but subse-
quent matches between the pair gave
Jake the shade III,
slosson was the winner of the first
tournament for the 1871 title, played
20 years ago, when he defeated Ives,
Sutton, Schaefer and Daily. He, was
also the first American to score vic
tory in a public match in Europe, de-
feating Vignaux at Paris in 1882. The
statement that billiarists, like poets,
are born and not made, finds disproof
in Stosson, whose proficiency was gain
ed by long study and practice rather
than natural aptitude for the game

finding it profitable enough to go
around playing exhibition matches and
taking part in the many tournaments
that are on the schedule.
Among the free lances are such ex-

CARLISLE THINKS
INDIANS eleven
WILL BE STRONG

New York, March 5-The scarlet
and, gold of Carlisle Indian School
may wave in triumph over the foot
ball fields in the future, as it did in
the past. The gridiron game was re-
stored at Carlisle last fan under GER
tain conditions. 1t was put on pro-
baton, so to speak The season did
not begin until late, and none of the
larger colleges were met. Shortage
of material and lack of an experience
Of the aborigines.
The experience gained in the sew
eral games last season will prove
beneficial to the boys in school. Half
a dozen men or more, of the real foot
ball type, who have had some exper-
fence, have announced their intention
of entering Carlisle, and will give the
school a nucleus around which to
build a powerful team.
All the material will be needed; ex-
pert coaching and careful develop
ment will be imperative to success
The Carlisle team of 1917 will play a
schedule which will call to mind the
days of Indian glory on the chalk
lined field. Harvard, Princeton and
the University of Pennsylvania arc
among the teams that will be met
Bucknell, the University of Rochester
and Catholic University are among
the other elevens that will round out
the schedule.
It will be a severe task for the RED
men, but to talk to Captain Jake Her.
mann, the broad shouldered Sioux, is
to be convinced that the defeat of the
Indians this year will be a rec
achievement.
Leo Harris will be in charge Of the
team next fall. He has been asso.
ciated with the Indians for number
of years as lieutenant to the grea'
and only Glenn Warner. Harris was
assistant coach AND scout. He knows
football from the first fundamental t.
the newest move. Moreover, Harri:
has always been popular with the
bows He understands the Indiar
temperament, and the boys look for
ward to the coming season with con
| fdence.
Glenn Warner will devote a couple
of weeks before the season opens tt
directing the practice.
Football material gravitates toward
Carlisle when the school arranges {

is a tradition at the choot: 9Th

of all hands, was warmly greeted by
both Bill Donovan and Harry Spar

Caldwell since suspending him in St.

to the reformed pitcher and said:
Hello, Ray. GLAD to see you; you're
looking fine" To which Ray an
swered: Hello, Bill, I'm feeling fine.''
Caldwell told Donovan the same
story that he told newspaper men last
night-that he was not in Panama, but
spent the winter in New York state
and came direct from there.
Donovan and all the players are
elated over CALDWELL appearance, as
they believe he will prove a big asset
in their drive for the pennant. Bob

declares, that he needs little or no

manent place on the. team.
In discussing the baseball situation
In Cuba the little foreigner declared
that many big league players invaded
his country this winter and that the
competition between the Americans
and natives was both interesting and
keen. One of the players was Carl
Hamilton, the 1eft-hander Of the St
Louis Browns.
Hamilton, according to Aragon, has
had his salary cut from $1,000 to $1,000.
The Ieft-hander has refused to sign
with Fielder Jones and will retire
rather than stand the big cut in con-
tract
Rain continued to Tall on the good
folks Of Macon, and it is doubtful II
wild William and his men will be able
to cut up capers on the ball field to-
day.
Donovan is up against it, as the big
barn fitted out for just such a contin-
gency 1t Of little or no use to the play
ers. For some unknown reason there
are a number Of posts scattered al
over the place, and II would be dan
gerous for the athletes to even throw

let his players rest rather than have
one of them hurt.
