n YEW YORK, January 30
M The Chicago White Sox
1 Y are figuring on putting
some speed into their out
field in the 1881 base ball season
by taking on Young Eichrodt as
a running mate for Reynolds.
Eichrodt played with the New
Orleans club in 1880.
This Chicago team seems to have
had more near-high-class outnelders
than any other In the American League
Each year it has brought in some young
man Of much promise, only to ind that
he could not keep the pace.
Eichrodt Is a Chicago boy and If he
makes go of it in that city, his popu-
larity at home will be overwhelming
Cleveland found this player and sent
him to Nashville. He might not have
been quite ready for use on the Cleve-
land team at that time. but because
Cleveland had so many good outfielders
it finally permitted him to 60 to New
Orleans, where he has been for the
last three seasons. Not much attention
was paid to him by the scouts because
all of them thought he belonged to
Cleveland.
Hit Well for Pelicans.
In 1890 Eichrodt batted .325 for New
Orleans. That means he should be q
good 300 batter in major league COM
pany. and he may do better than that
He Is better than ordinary fielder
and that is what Chicago needs. The
SOx have engaged some players, who
could bat, but who were below par In
fielding.
Eichrodt's base running record in
1880 was Fl steals and he was second
IN the Southern Association in batting
in runs. The latter display of skill is
perhaps the most interesting of all, be-
cause men who can hit the ball with
runners on the bases are worth more
than batters who can do 20 points or
more better In the batting averages.
With Reynolds and Eichrodt, the out
field of the Chicago team can cover
more ground than 1t has in the past

'GROVE HELD GOOD

EbIing, AS Trainer, Says
Free Arm Means Long :,
Service for Bob.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, January 20.-If
- old doc" Ebling, the bone and
muscle member for the Philadel-
phia Athletics, knows his ath-
letes, Robert Moses Grove will
continue to be terror to opposing bats
men for years to come. He thinks the
lanky left-hander is improving all the
time.
DOC" was busy packing liniments,
salves, bsndages and electrical appa-
ratus for shipment to the AS Spring
training camp.
We won't need much of this stuff
for Lefty" he said why, the only
first aid given Grove last year was a
bit of adhesive tape now and then to
cover the cracks at the end of his fore
finger. He should go right along pitch
ing and winning for at least Is years,
maybe longer. l wouldn't be surprised
if he sets up a record for length OF
service on the mound.
Il don't remember the time that
Grove had a sore arm. Watch HIM
work and you will understand why he
escaped muscle cramps that bother
other curvers. He is loose jointed; gets
his entire body into his serves. No
jerkiness. no rigidity in his movements,
but full sweep of arm and body that
gives that speed to his fireball. He's a
free -sWinger and his arm will last.
"A pitcher like Shores throws with
his arm exclusively. That's why he had
sore wing frequently. EarnShaw hasn't
the free delivery that marks Groves
pitching, but even so. big George is
loose enough to escape serious arm
trouble. Barring accidents, Grove ought
to be better this season than last, and
he may not reach his peak for four or
five years"

rs entries for the tourney up TO noon
today.
Columbia officially denies the report
that the big club near Chevy Chase
Lake is in the field for a national
championship in 1882. Chairman
George P. James Of the Golf Committee
issued yesterday an emphatic denial of
the fact that Columbia may bid for
