FIRST WORKOUTS
FOR METHODISTS
Likely That a Good Baseball
Team Will be Turned
Out at BuckhannOn.

BUCKHANNoN, April Z. = With
"Biggy" Reeder on the ground and
college re-convened after the Easter
recess the first real baseball practice
of the season will be held this evening.
In case the weather does not permit
of outdoor practice, Reeder will usher
his men through the initial workout
in the large gymnasium where train.
ing was done exclusively for the south.
ern trips in former years.
Reeder has large following In this
state and the Methodists will be be.
hind him en- masse for a good season.
Reeder produced as student leader
and 1t is naturally easier to succeed
as a leader when not acting in the ca
pacity of student.
Prospects are bright at Wesleyan
for winning team. Captain Beecher
Dunn has predicted that the material
is as good, this season as 1t was in 1917
when Wesleyan was undefeated for
the year. DUN is Wesleyan's star
third baseman and has had fine ex-
perience with the New Brighton, Pa,
nine and the amateurs about Charles
ton, West Virginia.

.NEWPROBLEMS
DEVELOPED N.
TRACK OUTFIT
Long Distance Men Now
Needed for the varsi-
ty Track Team.

MoRGANTowN, April Z. = When
Coach Nat j. Cartmell first looked
over the West Virginia University
track squad he foresaw weakness in
the weight events. A canvass was
made for more meL for these events
with the esult that now Gaines,
Grove, Mullan, and Harker are all
showing real form in the various
weight events and the addition of
Hugh, Lentz and several other capa-
BILE looking men to the squad has pre-.
ceptibly frightened the outlook in this
department.
Just as this problem seems to be
solved another one which was more
difficult TO detect looms up, and that
is the real scarcity of long distance
men, particularly two mi1ers, and OF
men with ability for the 120 yards
high hurdles. Out of approximately
eighty men out for the various events,
only two are avowed two mile runners.
and a like number have announced
themselves as candidates for the high
hurdles. There should be at least a
dozen men for each of these difficult
events, and campaign is now being
launched in the student body to try
to turn out more men. At an organi-
cation meeting held in January half
dozen or more men signed up as two
mile candidates but only two Of these
have reported for the outdoor work.
The quarter mile seems to be the
most popular of all the events, there
being seventeen candidates for this
distance with almost the same number
for the 100 and 220. The Mountain
GERS certainly should be strong in the
dashes and middle distances with
such stars as Rowley, Kay, Morgan,
Hill, Rankin, Hartman, yesterday.
Watkins, Hawkins, Myers and half
score Of others from which to choose.

West Virginia Wesleyan basketball
five for the present year was Mahre
Stark former Charleston High School
lad, and an all-around brilliant ath-
lete of the Methodists.
Stark scored 1874 points in the 81
games in which he participated. He
had 43 goals from the field and los
fouls out of 164 tries, or a percentage
of &C per cent on his free throws. He
played powerful floor game in addi-
ton to his heavy scoring and it was
due to his great guarding that the
Methodists were able to hold down
their opponents so ably. The record
Of the Wesleyan five is by far the best
record of any collegiate set in the
state this season.
Stark's most fascinating work came
on Wesleyan's second long trip which
extended through Ohio and Western
Pennsylvania. Stark wone the Mus
kingum game for Wesleyan with six
beautiful lops from the middle of the
court. With the score standing Al
40 in favor of MuskinEum Stark net
ted a very long phenomenal basket
which won the game 42-41 for Wes-
leyan.
Proof OF his powerful playing in
the Grove City-Wesleyan game is
found in review of the game in the
Mercer county (Pa) Herald, Grove
City daily. The story reads:
"As to the battle itself, the play
ing OF Stark and johnson for the Wis
itors is worthy of commentator for
the plucky manner IL which they
fought. Stark, playing guard posi-
ton for the visitors, was fast. He
plays a rough guarding game, but
makes it sure. He is omnipresent on
the floor and is a good shot. He Gagged
three in the game and they were long
shots. He threw them with an ease
that showed he was used to making
his losses from a distance. There
is not much doubt thai with Stark the
Methodfsts, in State championship
contest in West Virginia, would clean

WHEN WESLEYAN
GETS Mention
But Why Pick on Us-We
Did Not Make the Re-
mark Calm Down.

That little Mr.. George Washington
or whoever It is that writes sports
for he Morgantown POST mus have
been born with hammer in his tiny
fist instead OF the well known silver
spoon In his mug. He sure does
swing a nasty. nail driver. IN Last
nights edition he hops all over us
for saying that all ready there Is a
lot of talk about tho West Virginian-
Wesleyan game which is slated for
this city early in the football season.
n Harry Stansbury can get the ath-
letic board to see thing the way Har-
~ sees them, and the way they
should be seen. The sporting edito.
also drives us another nail because
we mentioned the fact that game
be played on Turkey Day next year.
The real Joy of the situation comes
however in the ia st that The West
Virgfnian never did make any such
statement, the remark having as its
sponsor the sporting editor or writer
ON Pittsburgh newspaper. Tho
sport writer down there was discuss
ing the coming of Higgins to Buck
hannon, as we recall, and incidentally
lhetAh q lew tliIuSe dUUuL lue varsity
Wesleyan game that made the fellow
down in Morgantown go into six diff
lerent kinds OF high jerks.
If he will read the story over again
lie viii find that we stated at the
outset Here's what one scribe says"
We presumed that a fellow in this
country still had the right to an opin-
ion and to express it, and that we
had a right to quote him. We did not
even make any comment of our own
on the other fellows viewpoint.
The trouble with the bird in Nor.
gantown must be that he starts at
the bottom Of story and reads VI
and stops as soon as he strikes some
thing no does particularly favor.
That's why he put the credit line in
the wrong.

cation of Harry's program.

He threw like a girl. Cap Neal no
ticed he had a funny little twist of the
wrist. They taught him to wind up.
He showed so much uncomfortable
%reed the veterans were afraid to face
him.
j 'is 1t wrong to pitch underhand,"
he asked shyly.
They told him no. Then he cut
loose his own way-the way he had
pitched back in Paint Lick and struck
out his average II batters per game.
His control was perfect then.
Neal loaned him to Manager Bob
Coleman of Mobile, to pitch against
the Colonies. Tatum wouldn't work
for Coleman without first being intro.
duced.
| He pitched three innings as steady
as clock and stood the batters on
their heads.
Now he is the idol OF the Louisville
camp. He's natural underhand
cross.fire pitcher.
/ Cap Neal declares that there are two
good underhand pitchers in baseball
Carl Mays and Bill Tatum. Says Neal :
IT believe that the youngsters un
derhand cross-fire ball is next to ur.
hittable. I've seen thousands Of pitch
ers but Tatum absolutely is in a class
by himself. shudder to think how
near 1 came to sending him back tc
the farm without looking him over
His case should be a warning to man
ayers never to pass judgment toe
quickly. In Tatum we have picked
lup a jewel Of the rarest value"

Big Ball Game
Is Called Off

The big league game between De
troit and Boston scheduled for Clarks-
burg this afternoon was called off
shortly after noon on account Of the
chilly weather conditions and the fact
that the grounds were in poor condi-

ton will have chance to see tho
teams in action tomorrow, II the

The story OF how the most hopeless
baseball recruit reported to the LouIs-
Vile Colonies = bashful like a girl,
modest like violet, shy like a hum

one of the rawest rockies who ever

Ill at ease-distressingly green.
Cap Neal read about a pitcher at
Paint Lick, KY, who maintained an
average OF II strikeouts per game last
summer. That's all he knew. He
mailed the prenom contract. II he
had looked him over before the kid

Three and Two

With the opening of the season less
than ten days away and Long George
Kelly's once robust batting average
Shrinking to almost nothing, there
is feeling of great uneasiness among
critics who have looked to him to
seek all sorts of pitching with the
same ferpcious vigor that has always
marked his stickwork in the bushes
They fear that he has blown" again
and find a more or less convincing
argument to this effect in the fact
that in the last seven games against
have compiled some really notably
swatting records, the altitudinous
Californian had delivered only two
safe blows-one off Sam Jones and
one off Harry Holborow: Truth COM
pels the admission that Kelly has
not looked good at bat since the Bos-
ton pitcherS began to round into con-
dition. At the start of the series,
when Barow's slabsters were blow
ing" the ball up to the plate, Kelly
was a hitting fool. He made six
hits In the first ten times at bat, and
every one was a solid line smash to
some unguarded section Of the out
field. Then the Sox hurlers began
throwing curves and putting a jump
on the fast ones, and since that time
the Giant firS' taseman has been
something of a bust as a mauler.
Some of the lads are inclined to
believe that Kelly has finally found
his groove and is hitting just about
as well right now as he will later on.
We prefer to give him the benefit of
pyery doubt and to regard his pres
emit slump as temporary depression
from which he will eventually re-
cover. We do not expect him to hit
within so per cent of his Internation-
al League records, nor do we believe
he ever will be steady, consistent,
day-in-and-day-out producer. But
we arc convinced that the fellow can
hit when the spirit is in him and that
the spirit will be in evidence most
Of the time.
The curve ball pitchers on Ed Bar
rows staff are fooling him now, but
this is no guarantee that they will
continue to do so. When the hitting
mood is on him he Is Just as likely
TO hit curve as he is to drive a fast
one into the adjoining county. Dur
ing the last week or so he has pur-
posely played a waiting" game at
the plate, and many first and second
strikes have been called against him
on curves that any schoolboy could
have hit. Now and then a third
strike of the same general descrip-
lion has been called against him, and
On such occasions the ribald popu-
ACE has given him the royal buzzer
thrice repeated.
Yet at Knoxville last Saturday he
leaned against one with all the force
hat was in him and sent 1t steaming
INTO right field with the force of q
rifle projectile. Hack Nble hap
pened to be camping In its path and
double play resulted, but ordinarily
that wallop would have been good
.or at least two bases. Many another
'uclzy drive has shared similar fate
since they're going safe for Long
George and good1y proportion OF
hem were made OFF curve ball pitch
ING. Sooner or later they are bound
% 80 safe and Kelly's name will fino
It's way back into the headlines.
One great factor In Kelly's favor is
he fact that his slump has not az
iected his morale. Last summers

Some Local Sport Chatter

According to reports from various
sections Ty Cobb is getting in bad
with the fans on the small time ex-
hibition circuit by playing an old
trick, which is as much the fault Of.
tho leaders of the Detroit team and
their press agent as the Georgia
Peach. He is advertised to appear
in many Of the exhibition games put
on by the Tigers and then fails to
take part in them. Cobb is big
drawing card and on the exhibition
route people come from miles and
miles around where the game is to
be staged, pay their good money to
see Cobb in action and then fail to
see him. 1t is little wonder that
they go away with feeling that
some person has put one over on
them. But the small towns are not
the only ones to get stung once in
awhile. A few years ago the De-
troit Tigers played an exhibition
game in Pittsburg with the Tigers
and the press agent for the game
wrote yards and yards Of dope about
Ty Cobb and the fact that he would
be seen in action in this particular
game. The Pirates were not having
particularly good year and crowds
had been rather slim at the regular
games. With Ty Cobb for the draw
ing card there was a large turnout
for the exhibition game. Did Cobb
play? He did not. And Pittsburg fan
dom went home to supper with a
very sore feeling that they had been
given raw deal. Such is life when
big league star wants to mako 1t
so.
At the high school football basket
ball banquet tonight should the toast
master call upon Pierre Hill for
speech he will likely declare that he
is too full for oratory.
Another bad day for baseball prac-
tice. Hope this weather does not
hold out much longer or the diamond
stars will lose and the effects of the
good sessions during the last two
weeks.

reel. The boy pushed like country

He reached Louisville two days
ahead of the time set. His father and
the Businessman of the Paint Lick
team came along TO keep him COM
pany. They got lost so often riding
street cars the wrong direction the
boy came near being late to report.
On the ball field no human ever
looked more lost than Tatum. He was
shy about stepping on the rubber and
the canvas bags. He'd been used to
rocks at Paint Lick.
But-and here's the story.

experience convinced him that he can
hit major league pitching and he is
calmly and patiently hiding his time
till he gets properly started again.
There was time when a slump, even
a short one, seemed to send him into
a furry of duck fits or something,
but he appears to have outgrown that
fatal tendency. He Is still standing
up to the plate in his accustomed
style, is still taking fine free cut
at the ball, and when he does NEE,
1t puts a lot Of snap and drive be-
hind It.
