TONEY STORMING CINCINNATI
IN EFFORT TO GET INTO PLAY
Lawyer Advises Pitcher
to Report and Makes
fearful Appeal for Un-
happy Client

THE most tragic figure in baseball to-
L day is Fred Toncy, former Cincn-
matt Red Iron Man and winner Of more
games last season than any other Ma
tioual League twirler excepting the
mighty Alexander. And more than this,
he was the only pitcher in the game
last year to hurl a tcn-inning no-run,
uO-hit contest
TCucy now is out on bond facing re-
trial for attempt to Cvade the draft
law by alleged false swearing. on top
Of which has been piled an indictment
charging violation OF the Mann white
slave act. Tho present high point in
the situation is that Toney is making
every possible effort TO get Garry Herr
mann to allow him to play ball pending
his second trial and Hermann neces-
sarily has tough job to tackle, for
Mathewson has no more need OF Toney
just now than has Wceghman for Alex
andcr and NillcfCr.
Some interesting inside dope from
ToneyS home at Nashville indicates
that his case is certainly a complicated
if not an aggravated one. and can he
well appreciated only by going back to
last season when "A lawyer was hired
to appease Hermann after Toncy had
written the head of the National Com
lnlSSlou anu inc 'lh'lhhatl cum a letter
expressing i'm very strong language his
sentiments when an unsatisfactory con-
tract was rendered him. Also said rep
resentative flooded tho newspapers with
a touching appeal outlining Toney's de-
serving qualities and his previous scrv-
ices 10 the Cincinnati club, the general
result Of which was that the twirler
finally got a good contract
Now the Cincinnati authorities are
being beseeched in like manner Long
appeals which are somehow getting into
tho newspapers are being sent to Presi-
dent Hermann. and all signed by To-
neys legal representative. His present

BY CHARLES (CHICK) EVANS. Jr.

DEFOEE I get into the game this

lowing things will have happened TO
my set OF clubs; every shaft will be
carefully examined. and II there is one
with even a suggestion of crookedness
out II must come, to be replaced by an
absolutely straight shaft. Even in mid
summer If 7 discover n shaft varying
from the straight line it is Immediately
changed
Always I am careful to sec that these
now shafts are of the exact lengths OF
the old ones, for 1t took me years to
determine the lengths easiest for me to
play and at the same time permitting
me to get the greatest distance.
Change Your Clubs Now
Spring is the best time to make any
needed change of clubs, because 1t IS
dollars to cents that you will never
change after the season is really on.
There is always a transition period with
tho new club, and Il man does not like
To pass through it during the playing

lhgntcen games arc llStcd on the 1913
10 schedule for the Penn basketball

remembered that the Orange was one of
only two teams to defeat the champion

The Syracuse aggregation won an

League season for Penn will open on
January 4. when Dartmouth will be en-
l gagged IN the quaker gym.

means, for the Quaker management is in
