to Play Second

BECAUSE baseball players who have
- enlisted in the navy will not receive
furloughs during the coming season, the
pennant plans of the Boston Red Sox
have been smashed TO smithereens in
the last few days. Harry Frazee, Con-
ME Mack's principal customer. has been
notified that he would have to struggle
along without the services OF Jack
Barry. Ernie Shore. Mike McNally.
Chick Shorten, Del Gamer and Herb
Pennock and now Is doping out q
scheme to patch up the vacant spots.
OF course. Jack Barry will have to
step out of his job as manager for the
duration of the war. and Tip comes
from Beantown that Dick Hoblitzell VIII
be offered the position. This has not
been announced as yet. but It Is safe
to state that he will be the new pilo'
in a couple OF days.
Hoblitzel recently was permitted &c
leave a hospital In Cincinnati, where nc
had undergone difficult operation. lie
is now convalescing at his home there
and probably will meet Harry frazee o.
the Red Sox at the schedule meeting oi
the American League in New York or
February IA.
A strange part about Hobby's opera
tIon is that he decided to go through
with it to enable him TO enter ths
dental service in the army. The prohe'
of the temporary management OF ths
Boston team may cause him to change
his mind.
Hoblitzell will continue at first bast
for Boston, and Stuffy McInnis. the Ath'

to second. While McInnis has woI

O'MARA LATEST DODGER
TO ENLIST IN SERVICE

NEW YORK, Jan. o9.-oliver f.
oMara stepped over to the Brooklyn
Navy Yard yesterday and enlisted. He
makes the seventh of Squire Ebbets's
well known Dodgers TO be accepted for
national service, and the monarch of
FIatbush is beaming with pride. He
also is having another service star en-.
broidered for the flag that now hangs
in the Brooklyn baseball otlce.
The other Dodgers who have already
joined the army or navy are JEFF
Pfeffer. Leon Cadore. Sherrod Smith.
John Fitzsimmons John Kelleher and
Lou Malone. Each one of these men
was potentially valuable to the 1918
Dodgers, the three first named being
pitchers of whom it was reasonable to
expect much.

ADMITTING KIDS WOULD
COST $4,000 THIS YEAR

According to Branch hickey, of the
Cardinals, $1,000 boys were admitted to
championship games played on the home
grounds by the Cardinals last season.
1t had been planned to still further in
crease the membership this season.
The boys occupied .eats in the fifty
cent covered stand and for each admis-
sion over a certain number-equivalent
to the average pass list at other parks
a charge of twelve and one-half cents
for each boy was paid to visiting clubs.
On a basis OF last years attendance
of knotholers, plus the five-cent war
tax, the Cardinal Idea would cost the
club more than $4,000.

RISBERG AND KOPF HOLD

Two shortstops. Risberg, of the White

made more fielding mispIays than any
other major league players last year.
Risberg was charged with sixty-one
errors. while Kopf made sxty-eight. Ris-
berg was benched just before the worlds

but Nopf played out the full schedule
for Matty. inasmuch as his stickworll

for a place in the first division. Still
Risberg and Kopf were not blamed by
their respective managers for blunders
in the field. They went after every
thing.

RICE'S SELECTION OF MASTER
MOUNDSMAN BRINGS ON GREAT
DEBATE WITH THE FAN FOLK
Straw Plebiscite in Form of Mail Vote Shows
Many Favoring Cy Young and Walter john
son Over Matty as All-Time Star
BY GRANTLAND RICE

IF YOC are ever looking for an argu-
< ment or for a burning debate we have
the recipe.
Merely get in a bunch and mention
some one pitcher as being the greatest
Of the lot for all time. Then sit back
and observe the Language pour out in
solid stream.
The Test
wo found this out some time ago
when we unfurled our dope on the
greatest ball club of all time. This
lineup produced the expected amount
of correspondence. Very few slisputed
Buck Ewing's reign as catcher. Most
OF them were willing to admit that Eddie
Collins. Hans Wagner and Jimmy Col
lins were supreme around the infield.
Virtually none disputed the over
whelming greatness of Cobb, Keller and
/ Speaker.
But with all the wonder work that
| Christy Mathewson has done from 1901
| to 1915, the name of the all-star pitcher
brought on the big debate.
The Master of Mound
In naming this selection there was
a wide discrepancy. Some of the old
timers, stood by Radbournc.
a few named Amos Rusie. Eut In
the main the votes were clst for Cy
Young and Walter Johnson, with Ed
Walsh and Alexander also named.
Most of thoee however, who didn't
vote for Matty were for either Young
or johnson. Here were the main ar
guments:
For Young-Won more ball games
by wide margin than any pitcher that
ever worked. Pitched more ball games
by wide margin than any other man
was therefore the most useful. Made
his great record with two clubs. Cleve-
land and Boston-West and East--to
show he could meet any change. Worked
with pennant winners and with losing
teams, but was always star.
For Johnson--Has been handicapped
most of tho time by weak club, but
in spite of this, did wonderful work
Had more speed and was harder to hit
than any other. Would have made al
even more remarkable record IL he
Ind been with the Giants, as Matt,
was. With a strong club back of hin
