BASEBALL BRIEFS.

New York's army of baseball fans Is
pulling for Sunday baseball
The Lawson Sunday baseball bill is
one of the most popular measures ever
introduced in the Albany Legislature.
Robbed by the umpHe!' cry the
Boston Braves, but Hub fans are no
longer fooled. They demand winning
results from Stallings and his crew.
Followers of the Giants are eager
to size up Rose Young, the new right
fielder. who is playing great ball just
now.
Baker and Bodie ought to bat in the
800 class this year, with Pratt and
Pipp not far behind them.
Dave Shean. who Wal play second
base for the Red So1, Is not a Jack
Barry. and is notoriously weak at
the bat
Hat Chase is playing first base for
the Reds in brilliant style. He seems
as young as ever.
Manager Barrow of the Red sox
will appear in uniform on the coaching
lines this season.
Fred Merkle Of the Cubs is deter
mined to remain on first base. The
veteran worked in a gymna sium for
a month before reporting and is in
first class condition.
Jake Daubert is starting OF well
with the Robins. He'll have to earn
that 5000 this year or give way TO
another first baseman.
Uncle Robbie needs a second base
man. Possibly Hi Myers will be his
final selection.
George whitted, for the first time
since he was traded to the Phillies in
1915. has signed at President Bakers
terms. Now Bender and Niehofr will
fall into line.
The ball players who have peen
thrown out of employment by the col
lapse of the International League
probably realize that they cannot get
along without financial hackers.
Detroit. April S.-Detfoit wise men
predict that II the Tigers do not win
the pennant this year Bill Donovan
will succeed Hugh Jennings as man.
ager of the team
St Louis, April S-Joe Gedeon looks
like the Browns regular second base
man. He always could bat heavily
in practice games when he played with
the Yankees. But what win he do
when he faces real pitching?
st. Petersburg. Fla, April s.-MiIton
Stock. of the Phillies, is no longer a
holdout. He Joined Pat Moran's team
here yesterday, having come to terms
with President Baker.
Arthur Irwin may not prove himself
the greatest manager in the world.
but his selection to lead the Hustlers
this season is anything but the worst
that could be made. Irwin knows the
game from every angle, and is the
tSBe OF man who easily makes frfenda

BULL M'CLEARY TO
HELP COACH STATE

State College. Pa. April S.-Edward
(BulD McCleary. 1910. will be Penn
sylvania States assistant football
coach next fall He will handle the
backfield men under the direction of
Dick Harlow, 1911. the head coach.
This combination gives the Blue and
White a coaching staff that is ex-
Clusively a product of the Penn State
system.
Never before since the graduate
coaching system has been in effect
here has Harlow been given a chance
to direct the ofrense without the as
sistance OF backfield coaches brought
in from other colleges. Penn States
alumni advisory committee and the
undergraduates are convinced that
the new coaching system will be the
most successful yet tried here.
McCIeary was a brilliant fullback at
Penn State on the teams of '0, 'OS
and 'C9. He captained States team in
1903. During the seasons Of 1910 and
1871. he acted as assistant coach here.

The only virtue no one has ever de-

'Oh. curses on these parlous times Of
war;
A fighter said one day when he was
sore.
Such times are tough for fghtin'

And as he turned to go upon his way,
He CHANGED to hear an old bystander
say:
That bird will get his ill Of fghtin'
when
They catch him in the army draft
some day"
The unpires would also like to have
a decisionless day.
But there will be no beefless days
among players on the field.

It Is understood that in place Of the
torty-seven municipal courts which
local racquetters have lost this year
on account OF the ground being taken
for government buildings, that the
Office Of Public Buildings and Grounds
is constructing twelve in the vicinity
OF the Highway Bridge. Those inter
ested might take a couple Of days
of and go down there and look them
over. One of the advantages of the
Henry Park courts was accessibility
and even those in Potomac Park were
not as popular as they might have
been had they been easier to reach.
These Highway Bridge courts will no
doubt prove to be very popular for
Alexandrians, but the chances are
that very few local players will want
to take such a long trip unless, per-
haps, some Of the "Wanderlusts"
might stop OF there on one Of their
jaunts.
The board of governors OF the Ban
nockburn Golf Club met Thursday
night for the purpose Of appointing a
tournament committee and arranging
plans for the coming season. Nothing
definite was decided upon. however,
and another meeting will be called
this week, at which time the matter
will be concluded and announcement
made in this column.

All the pitchers are in good condi-
ton. they showed that. this morning
in the way in which they cut loose.
Not one Of them has a sore arm,
which at this stage is mighty en-
couraging and indicates they will, at
least, start the season in as good
.aape as any twirling stan in the
American league.
The foxy pilot is keeping his eyes
peeled Just now for another catcher.
Eddie Charity is in the first draft
class and may be called before the
end of the season in which event
Ainsmith would be the lone backstOp
GriT would have. for Berman is too
young and inexperienced to take his
turn behind the plate in a league
game. The best he can expect to do
this year is to warm up the pitchers.
There is little chance OF Grifr let

PhiIlies there tomorrow il weather
