Simpson Has Trio of Sarazen May Not Be Games or Its Cage Allowed to Compete Schedule This Week In British Tourney

Coach George Reynolds started the week off with a hard workout for his Simpson High quintet in order to get them into line for their games with Palos Wednesday night. Coach Rey- holds was not very we'll pleased with the showing his team made against Jcnes Valley and Shades-Cahaba last week and with three hard games scheduled for this week he is trying to get the Purple Tornado into bet ter shape.
 Simpson meets Palos Wednesday night at the Birmingham Athletic club. Palos has a good team this year and has been winning practical- ly from every school she has played. Simpson will meet in Palos the first strong team of the season and fans are anxious to see how she will acQutt herself against formidable foe.
 Senn. who was sick last week, should be in working condition for the game and may help to bolster up the Simpson team. He has not shown any of his last seasons form yet. His shooting is off badly. The rest of the players are in good condition and with a hard workout today should be right for the game.
 Simpson will probably meet Jeff ferson County High Thursday night if final arrangements can be made. They will play the Alabama Fresh man team Saturday night

Jockey Club Recalls $l, 100000 Preferred

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Jan. 15.-Reduc- tion of the capital stock of the Ken lucky Jockey club, which II promotes the s5o,000 Kentucky derby every year at Churchill Downs and operates the Latonia horse racing course, was announced at meeting of Jock ey club stockholders here today. The original s1,000.o00 preferred stock represented by the reduction has been recalled, it was said. The track at Lexington, Ky, founded in 1928, was sold to a Lexington syndicate headed by T. c. Bradley, which will conduct races there this year.
 Date of the 1923 Kentucky derby has not been decided. The second Saturday in May, which would be May 12, has been the traditional day for the classic. However. this will conflict with the Preakness stakes, the annual Pimlico, 3-yearold event, it is said.

In 1892, when I found myself on the bench as the result of the 12-c1ub consolidation I felt as if the bottom had dropped out of the world. At the same time I felt confident of my own ability to make good eventually. For one time I had no inclination to jump to some other team. I bided my time as best I could and kept practicing all the while. I also watched the other players closely. I tried to imi- tate their good points and to avoid tEeir bad ones. This was excellent training for me, though l didn't real ize it. Always 1 have regarded bench treatment as such good training that l have kept good ball players there for several months and paid their salaries so that they could absorb a lot of baseball observation, An ex- ample of this was George Burns. He had our style of game so pat from weeks of observation on the bench that when he went in as a regular he was almost a finished ball player. He never went back to the bench to stay.
 HanIon Named Pilot
 The Orioles, at the time I joined them, were not doing so well. We were losing game after game and the attendance was hardly large enough to pay expenses George Van Haltren was the manager and Harry Won der Horst the owner.
 MT. Won der Horst decided to change managers, and finally sue ceeded in securing Ed Hanlon, then with Pittsburg.
 Ed Hanlon had wonderful faculty of organization. 8 trait that he had never had a chance to fully develop until he came to Baltimore. His pol Icy always was one of construction. I find it general impression that Hanlon was more particularly noted for his ability to develop inside base ball. It is true that he dotted on that, but if I were to decide between the two I would say he was greater organizer and builder than field general. Everybody realized his abil- lty as a field general but few ever gave him credit for his really master full work in building up team.
 Hanlon Make Shifts
 Within a few days after his arrival Hanlon began making shifts. He took me from the bench and put me ar second base. I was oyerjoyed and naturally thought him the best man ager l ever had seen.
 In my new position I played my first game against Cap Anson's Chi cago club. The Cap remembered me from Cedar Rapids. l was more than anxious to make good that day, and l did. l had perfect fielding aver age and got three clean hits. This made an impression on Anson. He ns. forgiven me for my freshness and cockiness-rather liked it, I think. Anyway, after that game he offered to trade Jimmy Ryan for me. Ryan was an outfielder on the Chicago team. Hanlon refused, much to my

New York Outfielder
 Spends Night in Tree

KINGSVILLE, Tex, Jan. 15.-Ross Young. outfielder of the New York Giants. has narrowing tales to tell of a night spent amid the branches of tree top. after becoming sepa- rated from a hunting party on an im- mense ranch in this section.
 Young started out with Clarence (Tillie) Walker, outfielder, and Ray Leslie, first baseman. both of the Philadelphia Athletics, but lost his way while beating about in the brush in search of game.

By daylight searchers found Young in an exhausted and much scratched up condition.

delight. That was an important mo- | ment in life. If l had gone to Chi eago I would have missed those happy days on the OrioIes-might have missed my chance to progress. Refused To Go To Mobile
 But Hanlon was wise manager in ways that I did not appreciate. He thought me little inexperienced for second base and made a deal by ond baseman of reputation and ex- perience. was benched again. Han lon offered to farm me out to the Mobile, Ala. club, but I protested so violently against going that he con sented to let me stay on the bench. I finished the season as general utility man. I played every position except 1 pitcher. catcher and first base. If remember correctly, I played in 72 games and did pretty well. Expe- rience was building me into a real big league ball player. Hanlon was watching me closely.
 During the winter following that season Hanlon, having felt his way, began the construction of what was to be one of the most famous base ball clubs of all time-what is known now as the old Baltimore Orioles, the team that did things. In a way this team really revolutionized baseball, brought out its possibilities in ways never before thought of.
 Mnde Good Trades
 Hanlon began making trades-big trades. So uniformly successful was he in these deals that he got the name of Foxy Ned" To begin with he swapped Third Baseman Tim O'Rourke to Louisville for Harry Taylor and Hugh Jennings. The for mer played out the season and retired to take up the study of law. Harry Taylor is now a justice of the su- preme court of New York, and Is To- cated at Buffalo. If he Is as good a judge as he was first baseman and a hitter they won't get away with many inside legal plays on him.
 First Met Jennings
 Hugh Jennings and I became pals immediately. We have been ever since. He is now my first lieutenant in the management of the Giants. Jennings was a red-headed, freckle- faced kid and fresh, like myself. We took to each other the first time we met, both of us having the same ambitions and aspirations. We were allowed to room together and this
  change ideas was of great benefit to both of us. Hughey and I have been pals all our baseball lives. We be- came separated when he took the management of the Detroit Tigers, but the moment he retired from that position I offered him his present job so that we could continue ot be to- gether. His friendship and loyalty have been an Inspiration to me. And want to say right her that his help in handling the Giants has been in- valuable. To those who watched closely that help could be seen in the last two worlds series. Eventually I vas placed at third base regularly and Jennings at short. I played that position the rest of my days as an active player.
 Overcome Faults
 In our room at night Jennings and I used to discuss ways of playing our positions. Often we have gone out early In the morning to practice

Dogs Finding Many BLUES WILL MEET
 Birds at Running of Y. M. (. A. QUINT IN the National Trials SATURDAY CLASH

GRAND JUNCTION, Tenn, Jan. 15. Although weather conditions were perfect and birds plentiful, none of days running of the national cham pienship field trials showed especial ly brilliant work.
 The first brace consisted of the pointers Piekensvil1e Nat, owned by Dr. w. H. Hutchings of Detroit and handled by Ed Farrier of Leto- hatchie. Ala, and Sergy, owned by Dr. 0. D. Stickney of Atlantic City, N. J., and handled by Robert Bevan, Thomasville, N. c. In less than seven minutes Pickensyille Nat was on point and Sergy backed. Both dogs acted perfectly when the birds were flushed and the handlers fired. Nat found six bevies and several sim gles, but his work as whole lacked the championship calibre.
 Sergy also found six bevies, but was away off in pose and failed to handle his game well. Both dogs finished their three-hour heat in fair form.
 In the afternoon brace the pointer Comanche Rap, owned by William Zeigler, Jr., of New York and han diC0 Dy JOSCpA VI diiCt NOAlCotSo WlAiA Don Proctor, pointer, owned by H. k. Fellows of Springfield. Mo, and handled by w. H. Martin.
 Rap, after flushing bevy on his first cast. got beyond control of his handler, and was declared out be- cause of his failure to remain on the course.
 Don Proctor handled only few of the many bevies found and slowed up considerably before the end of his three-hour heat.
 The second days braces include trials between Zeigler's pointer, Ringing Bell, and Maids Eugene, a setter owned by c. l.. Carter of Phil adelphia, and the pointers Fortissimo Veritas, owned by Miss Marion Du pont of Montpelier Station. Va, and Muscle Shoals Jake. owned by J. C. Foster of Fort Worth, Tex.

 on certain kind of grounder that had been missed the day before. I have had Jennings hit as many as 60 at me until I overcame what we had considered a fault. In turn l would hit to him. This, mind you, was in addition to the regular prac- tice. We tried much harder to per- feet ourselves in our profession than ball players do nowadays.
 Among other faults we decided that We had overlooked our chances to get an education. Baseball had taken us out cf school. I decided to take a course in St. Bonaventure college. Allegheny, Pa, and had no difficulty in persuading Jennings to go with me. We were not financially able to pay for an education. but we agreed to exchange our Knowledge of base bali for cur college education. The college authorities agreed to this and our tuition cost nothing more than helping to train the school team.
 Took College Courses
 We kept this up for four years. At the end of each ball season we would pack up oar things and go to St Bonaventure. That is how both of us got what education we have, though Hughey later went to Cornell and took course in law. Those college days, ty the way, were the pleasant est of our lives.
 It was then that my youthful mind began to appreciate what 1t is to have an education. or. rather, to have 8 trained mind. I was determined to be in position tc appreciate the princi- ples of progress in any profession After learning the difference I have ever since made an effort to get col lcge players whenever I could. often have wished that some of my players had the persistence that Jen- nings and I had. We could have some wonderful teams if the players would try to educate and inform themselves during their off months. But, in this Aggression, l have got away frcui Ned Hanlon's constructive polciy.
