Foster Goes Further and
Says Donohue Only One
in National League;
Braves Will Win No
Championship This Sea-
son.
BY JOHN Il. FOSTER

Copyright, by The San Antonio Light.
st. Petersburg, Fla, March 22.-
Twice in making the grand tour of
Tampa Bay in company with the
mighty army that makes the grand
tour daily, some by water boat and
some by gasoline boat, opportunity
has offered to see the Braves, erst-
while the Boston Nationals. They
sadly need a new nickname. Mr..
Fuchs, who vice-presidents for them
and who is here at st. Petersburg
gazing through the netting enwrapt
in silent admiration at his addition
into the great national game, knows
that they need new name. but he is
bashful about suggesting it. He is
fearful that he will step on the tail
Of tradition and he doesn't want to
queer his job even before he has busted
himself into it.
The Braves will not win the champ
ionship of the National League as they
stand. They lack the pitchers. Oh,
rare phrase, this lacking the pitchers
stuff. How it repeats DER and DER
down here in the training camps of the
Florida seven sisters where they are
bravely striving to put ball players
into condition.
The Braves will please for a while
that portion of the Boston public
which cheers in Harvardese. Jocko
Conlon, once captain of the Harvards,
is playing short for them and the
Boston critics are playing Conlon for
all that he is worth. That is lauda-
BILE because Conlon is a home product
and seemingly playing ball for all that
he is worth, although he must realize
at some time in his growing career
that the way to play ground ball is
TO get in front of it and rot play
it on one side.
Better Than Young Rabbit.
CoDlon has an air of making good
at the start, Jim O'Leary, the veteran
Boston baseball writer, says Conlon
looks better now than the Rabbit did
wlten he began. The Rabbit. of course.
is Meanwhile. Everything in recent
years at Boston has been standardized
on the Rabbit.
Naturally James is loyal to Harvard
and Boston and yet one fancies that
the atmOnphere has exhiirated because
Conlon for the moment hardly seems
on par with the Rabbit in his
juvenile days or on the way to reach
the Meanwhile height of success. To
begin with, he can't get back as far
and get them and he can't get over
toward second as Maranville can when
he is playing his best.
Yet. with Conlon at short and Ford
at second. the Bostpns will begin the
season with two eminent collegians
and, with 'Stuffy" McInnis at first.
the infield will be quite New Eng
land affair. Smith is playing third
and doing it very well.

SPEED KINGS QUARREL
Wood Suggests Dodge Qualify to
Challenge Motor Boat Championship

Miami, Fla, March 22.-Suggest.
ing that Horace Dodge of Cleveland
properly qualify before he challenges
the worlds speed boat championship,
Gar Wood of Detroit last night wired
Charles +. Hopkins at st. Augustine,

ing that he would then race Mr..
Dodge for money, chalk. marbles or
fun"
In his telegram Mr.. Wood stated
that he knew of Mr.. Dodge's recent
challenge only through press reports
The telegram was sent following one
received stating that Mr.. Dodge re.
fused Mr.. Woods offer for a race for
100000 side bet because he was
not a gambling man. Mr.. Wood said
there was no element of gambling in
volved in the offer" because i felt sure
of the outcome"

The Bostons are not new to st.
Petersburg. They have been in this
greatest human bazaar of North Amer
lea before. Never have they seen so
many tourists in port for a holiday
as this year.
Mardi Gras is on and the specta-
tors were from Maine, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, Minnesota, Ohio,
Michigan, Illinois and Canada. The
trail north is thick with them.
A gray-headed grandmother, knit
ting needles in hand, merrily clicked
away on the socks she was making for
George and told her neighbor in tones
that the world could not very well
avoid hearing that she had been down
to see the Bostons practice and had
a lot of things to tell her boy. when
she got home about the way them big
bugs play baseball.
The Braves hardly know what to
make of themselves. Last gear when
they left st. Petersburg some brilliant
but erratic literature sent broadcast
the statement that the Bostons were
the coming champions of the National
League and they promptly finished in
eighth place, there being no lower
depth of depravity to which they could
descend in baseball way.
No More Stuff Like That.
This year, if anyone here puts that
jinx on them, they are going to re-
fuse to leave the Town. They will
stay until they are flat on their backs
before they are heralded as champions
to come. However, the question arises
as to whether anyone is going to be
wild enough to do that sort of thing.
There are some wild men and wilder
baseball fans in this part Of the
United States. but they will have to
be wilder than they are now TO sug-
gest pennants for Boston this sea-
son.
If they keen On batting as they have

New York, March 22.-Cecil Rhodes
won an empire for Great Britain but
he unwittingly cost England ire
mendous amount of prestige in sport
when he established the Rhodes schol-
arships which sent scores of Ameri-
can college men to Oxford. In spite
of their limited numbers, the Ameri-
cans who have won this coveted edu-
cational opportunity have taken a
prominent and, in some cases, a DOM
inant place in British intercollegiate
athletics.
Already this year. Stevenson, the
great Princeton hurdler and quarter
miller: HUM, another Princeton run
ner; Dunbar of Worcester, Brown Of
Washington and Reese. of Nebraska
have been selected for the Oxford
track team which will compete against
Cambridge. The Oxford crew which

as is shown by Oxford this year

adverse comment if it had occurred
between two intercollegiate rivals in
this country.
