The Old Fort

The old fort was begun in 1858
and built at a cost OF about mil
lion dollars. Lying almost forgotten
except when viewed from the pass
ing steamers, it has been lost sight
of almost for many years, but 1T
will now come into its own and Wal
do county residents will take pride
in showing it to visitors. The old
fort was named for General Knox,
for whom Waldo county was also
named, and whose beautiful old es-
tate. Montpelier. at Thomaston. was
long ago allowed to pass out of ex-
istence. During the Civil War the
fort was garrisoned and during the
Spanish American War had some
defence, but modern warfare has no
use for it and it will henceforth be-
come a playground and historic spot
and as such will be visited by many
who have lived in its vicinity all
their lives and have never yet done

MAY TAKE COBB'S PLACE THIS YEAR
Georgian Nears End of String and Red WingO, New.
 comer Is Being Groomed As Successor

Augusta, Ga, April d.--This will be Ty Cobb's twentieth season as big leaguer. It probably will bo his last, Indeed, there is a possibility that he will not play regularly this year.
 Naturally, Cobb isn't the player he used 10 be, although he was good enough 10 hit .S40 in l45 games last summer. Cobb isn't rounding into form with his accustomed ease this spring. His back is troubling him and he is getting in but few of tho exhi- biiion games.
 1t is expected, of course, that Cobb will come around in due time and take his place in center along with lIeilmann and Manush, who are to be the two other regular outiielders.
 But Cobb will not stay in tho line- up if he finds that playing is an effort. Rcd Wingo, a Georgia collegian, who came to tho big leagues from Toronto. where he hit 1852 last year, will be pressed into service. WinGo will be sent to left, Manusch shifted to ccn- ter and Heilmann kept in right.

DENNY MCMAHON THROUGH
 AS MANAGER OF KAPLAN
Business Reasons Given by Denny For His Retirement from
 Game.

Merdcn, April 4.--Dennis Me- Mahon and Louis fkid) kaplan have reached the parting of the ways along fistiaua's stormy path and as manager and fighter, respectively, have sevcfed company. but only in a business sense. McMahon announced last night that business reasons have caused him 10 give up the fight game and in doing this he has also said good bye 10 Ferguson. tho Northford boy. who fought so valiantly against "wop" Manoleum. Of Boston.
 The story of McMahon and kap- Ian has not been written yet but wien it's author completes the tale it will undoubtedly be found that Denny was the one who started Louie on his road to success and perhaps the fcathcrweight title now held by Johnny Dundee. Though Louis will fight from now on without the wise counsel of McMahon he will always have a friend who remembers those early days when the Kid had his reputation still to garner.
 Business reasons, mentioned be- fore. have been so pressing that McMahon has found that he could not continue both. A short time ago it was announced that Scotty Mon- tieth has taken over a share in Kap- Ian and from. now on the latter will handle the Kids ring affairs.

Wingo is a brother Of Ivy, veteran catcher of the Reds. Cobb thinks he is n big leaguer now. You can appre- eiate that he must be an impressive performer when Cobb rates him ahead of Fothergill, an experienced man who hit better than 300 against big league pitching in 105 games last year.
 Winso is a left-handed hitter, a positive fielder and has as fine q throwing arm as has ever come to the big leagues. This is saying plenty but conservative critics agree it is no eS- sggcration.
 ningo fits well into tho Tyger scheme of things. He is a slashing siugges and slashing sluggers arc tho gents the Detroit management seems to demand,

PIRATES AND CUBS HAVE CLASS
Charley HolIocher is the Big ''If" of Manager Bill Killefer's Chance to Make Good Showing With Chi cagO Nationals.

Los Angeles, Cal. April 4.-Short- stop Charles Hollocher is the bir if III the chances Of the Chicago Cubs this year.
 Hollocher Is not with the Cubs. He deserted the team last August because or Illness. His salary was not paid during his absence from the lineup.
 Hollocher's failure to report this spring Is due to his grievance over fhe failure of the Cubs to pay him his salary while III.
 If Hollocher is finally satisfied on the salary question and reports. will ne prove to be the Hollocher of old |? When Hollocher is in condition, at the Top Of his game, he is probably the best shortstop in the National league.
 Status of HollOchcr
 Should he report there is a possibil- tty that his prolonged absence from the game and failure to indulge in spring training, will have played havoc with his fielding and batting.
 If Hollocher fails 10 report. then Manager Bill Killefer must depend on Shorty Adams, more or less a novice as big leaguer.
 Last season, when Holocher left the club, Adams stepped into the breach and really did very we'll. The records, however, show that many n ball game was tossed away because of his nnsteadiness In the field, due to lack Of experience.
 In an effort to fll the hole made by the defiection Of Hollocher, Manager Bill Killofcr has given every recruit tnfelder a chance 10 show his worth at shortstop.
 Job For Bobby Wallace
 One Of Bill Killefer's assistants is Bobby Wallace, one of the greatest shortstops the game has ever produc- ed. The Cub manager has delegated to Bobby the job of trying to develop to Bobby the joh of trying 10 develop . shortstop from among the recruits.
 Otto vogel, former university star. who came to the Cubs as ontfielder. has proved just so-so fin his tryout as . shortstop.
 Bob Barrett, with Little Rock last year, third baseman or second base- man by trade, is getting much atten- tipn. Wallace hopes to make him over as he has much ability.
 Tn all probability, however. Shorty Adams will start at that position and continue 10 hold it unless he blows.
 Bill Killefer banks on his pitching Co make his club factor in tho Ma tional leaguo race this year. He in- sists his stan is tho class of the league. Guy Bush, a 2i-year-old Mississippi lad, is the best of the green recruit pitchers. He has a great chance to be carried, even though this is only his second year in professional base lail.

Pittsburgh, With Exception of Glen Wright, Minor League Star, Will Pre-. sent Practically Same Lineup as in '23.

Los Angeles, Sal, April {. - Tho team that will carry the hopes ot
 Pittsburgh in ti,s National league race this year will be the Pirates of 1923 with one exception, shortstop. . Glenn Wright of Kansas City, pro- nounced by ali>~big league scouts as the best looking ball player in the minors, will supplant Rabbit Maran- vile at short.
 i Despite the fact that Maranville has Lecn on the market all winter it looks ! very much as if he would remain in the Pirates lineup, simply shifting i from short to second.
 The Pirates finished third last sea- son, four games back oi Cincinnati, the runnerup, and eight and one-half games away fro mthe pennant- win ming Giants.
 Pirates An Improved Club Manager Bill Mckechnie is confi- dent that his club will be far more formidable this year. He regards the beating of Cincinnati as an almost certainty and feels that he will press the Giants to the limit to again win.
 The manager of the Pirates is bas- ing his hopes on at least half dozen points.
 First, is the addition sof Glenn Wright to the lineup. McKechnie is confident that Wright will start right in the big show where he left off in tho minors, a star. Wright, in the opinion of the Pirates manager, should strengthen the clubs infeld at least 9 per cent.
 The experience of last season is fig ured to greatly improve the play of Third Baseman Traynor, make him the outstanding man at that position in the National league.
 Strong In Substitutes
 The belief that Lyle Bigboe will not be the victim of as much hard lhck this year and will be able 10 be in the lineup regularly.
 The hope that the shifting of Mar anville 10 second will plug up that position. For some years second base has been mora or less a hoodoo With the Pirates \
 The fact that the Pittsburgh club is better equipped with capable substi- tutes than any other team in tho National league.
 It has long been an accepted truth that baseball club Is no stronger than its substitutes. Pittsburgh has ono or more players in reserve for every position.
 My team finished third last year." says Mckechnie. "It has improved with age and benefited by experience. It should be ready 10 make the run ming for tho Giants this sumner"
