ROGER PEcKINPAUeH.

"A ball player can't get going in

adage.
Al least, the case of Roger Peckin-

several seasons and last season de-

over and shipped him to New Haven
in the Connecticut league. That was
in 1910. They recalled him the next
year for another trial, but decided he
wasn't ripe and sent him to Portland
under an optional agreement, recall
ing him the next season. His poor
hitting and the fact that the club had
plenty of good infielders resulted in
his being traded to New York in 1913
for Strang and Jack Lelivelt.
Peck has played short continually
since breaking into the game-except
when switched temporarily on account
of injuries to other players. New York
He played in So games his first year

there would he a boom in that class
but the boom did not develop. O'Dow+

With the retirement of Mike Glib

to be fully capable Of extending O'Dowd
to the limit, and why the Jersey boxer
does not press his claims to a match
more strenuously is something Of a
mystery. Smith is both better boxer
and a harder hitter than the champion.
O'Dowd has youth and endurance on

especially as 1t is the only one worth

Want Best Talent.

I'VE knew Babe Ruth was the play
er the Yankees needed to strengthen
their team and to give it the great
attraction we considered our thousands
of local patrons were entitled to by
their steadfast loyalty to the New York
club even in the face of many disap-
pointments.
col. Rupert and myself will in the
future be found ready and anxious to
give our patrons the best talent that
we can secure, no matter what the eX-
pense may be.
Ruth signed the contract we pre-
scented to him with evident pleasure
and promised to give our club the best
service he is capable of, He even said
that he felt sure he would excel as a
Yankee his home run record of last
year.
personally I consider the signing
up of Babe Ruth as a big feather in
my cap, for l worked hard for it, and
both Col. Rupert and myself had many
obstacles to overcome before we were
successful in our object. We hope
Babes presence on the Yankee team
will result in our club winning the
championship. At any rate, l take
pride in the fact that we have done our
best to give our patrons the biggest
attraction that was available. We shall
continue along that line"
