o e | | 1 | | PASL THONMBSON PHOTO Neal Ball, Naps’ Great Utility Player. Neal Ball stands in a rather pecu- Har position on the Cleveland club. No one reckons that he has a chance to become a regular in the immediate future. The only thing that may bring that title to him is an injury to Nap Lajoie or a shift of Larry from second to first. But every one reckons Neal a regu- lar member of the club just as they do Larry, Gregg and Olson. Neal isn't fighting for a job. He is a star utility man. Before the gong sounds announcing the opening of the campaign he can rest assured that kis name will remain on the roster, no matter who else departs. It is doubtful if there has ever been a parallel to his case in the history of baseball. A utility role is a hazard- ous one at its best. Forced to rest upon the bench dur- ing the greater part of a season, then suddenly called upon to jump into a breach during the heat of a race, asked perhaps, to fill the shoes of a man who has been playing brilliantly, the AAARAAAANANAAA A PIRATES’ HOODOO IS SOLVED Pittsburg Team Find Long-Wanted First Baseman in “Dots” Mil- ler—Has Hard Job Ahead. The Pittsburg team of the National league claims to have found its long looked-for first baseman in “Dots” Miller, the Kearney, N. J., boy, who has been shifted from second base to first.. The Pirates have searched dili- gently for a first baseman ever since they traded Kitty Bransfield to the Phillies in the spring of 1905. In the last seven years the Smoky City ag- gregation has tried out first sackers by the wholesale, but never succeeded In landing a high class man. Among the men tried were Del Howard, Nea- lon, Flynn, Swacina, Gill, Abstein, Sharpe, Hunter, Keating and Mec- Kechnie, but none of them suited Fred Clarke or the Pittsburg fans. Last spring and through all of 1910 the Pittsburg scribes were singing “Dots” Miller. the praises of Fred Hunter, said to be by far the greatest first sacker that ever performed in the American as- sociation. Fred lasted half the sea- #on, when he was shunted to the side lines, and was released before the sea- 4on was over. Followers of the Pirates now are fans invariably demand that the utility player deliver the same high-class ar- ticle as the man who preceded him. I’s an injustice to expect a man, vir tually out of practice, to do so. The utility player who can do so is one of the rarest things in baseball. By the scme token he is almost invaluable. That’s just what makes Neal Ball a great player for the Cleveland club. The folks around the circuit are still talking about his performance last year. There was not a better field: ing second baseman in the league. A huge number of the critics and play- ers believe that Neal was the greatest fielding second baseman of 1911. Neal is undoubtedly one of the most popular players with his teammates that the club has ever had. It is doubtful if anyone ever heard a Cleve- land player criticise the “triple play hero” He's everyone's friend. He's a conscientious athlete On the field he gives the club everything he pos. sesses. Off the feld he takes perfect care of himself, asking themselves whether Miller al- g0 will prove to be a fizzle at first base. “Dots” has a hard job ahead ot him, as there seems to be a hoodoo to the position on the Pittsburg team. It is even intimated in Pittsburg that Hans Wagner would rather not tackle the place, as he believes he might suc- cumb to the hoodoo and lose his bat ting eye or his fielding ability. The St. Louis Browns send Pitcher Hawk back to Burlington. Birmingham has released Charles Bell, a recruit, to Chillicothe, O. The veteran Happy Jim Crandle will play the outfleld with Oshkosh. Stahl, Davis, Callahan and Griffith, 8ll in new berths, are making good with a rush. St. Paul has sold its glant catcher, Hub Dawson, to the Beaumont club of the Texas league. Joe Raidy, last season manager of the Zanesville team, has been given his unconditional release. Charles B. Smith will manage the New Castle team of the Ohio-Pennsyl vania league for Owner Leist. Veteran Jack Warner says Amos Ru- sie had more puzzling curves and bet- ter control than Rube Marquard. Manager Wallace of the Browns has sent a recruit first baseman named Miller to Lowell, along with ‘Wolfgang and Magee. i “If you can show me a better out- fleld than Carey, Donlin and Wilson, I'll buy,” says Fred Clarke, the Pi- rate’s manager. Clark Griffith has his eye on Tal Pendleton, the brilliant football play- er and speedy shortstop of the Prince- ton baseball team. “If St. Louls could buy Lajoie for $10,000 he would more than earn the purchase price back for them in ten days,” says Hughie Jennings, President Comiskey, of the White Sox, has promised his team a training trip to California in the spring of 1915, the year of the Panama exposition. Big Bill James, the Cleveland pitch- er, has the biggest hand of any play- er in the major league. A baseball look like & pea in the giant's hand.’ CONFERENCE IS READY =10 OPEN TOMORROW (Continued from first page.) tary of the Home Mission board; Rev. Dr. Matthew Hughes, of Pasadena, Cal.; Rev. Andrew Gillies, of Min neapolis, and Rev. Dr. William C. Shepard, district superintendent of Chicago. The bishops who may retire are Bishop Henry W. Warren of Denver. who Js eighty years old, and Bisirops David Moore of Cincinnati and Ewl Craaston of Washington, both of whom are more than seventy years cf age. The question of their retire- ment, however, depends wholly upon the action of the general conference MILLIONS OF GAME FISH DISTRIBUTED (Continued from first page.) have been taken from ‘Minnesola streams and lakes which produced one quart of eggs. In this quart, there are approximately 200,000 spawn. Crews sent out from the state fish hatcheries catch the pike and strip the eggs from them. Left undisturbed in their native stream:s. the mother pike deposits her egss nearly in the current, and allows them to drift and lodge where they will, perature of forty-eight degrees, the eggs hatch in eighteen to twenty days, and by the time the little pike are twelve or fourteen days old, ttey playfully begin eating each other. Then they are hurried from tho hatchery as rapidly as possible, Lo their future homes in the open wa- ters. 5 Male Bass are Fighters. “Bass are not gathered till the fall” said John Marty, foreman of the state fish hatchery at St: Paul. “No one has yet found a way- to handle bass spawn so they will develop. T4uc¢ bass must be left undisturbed wheis the female bass has deposited her eggs, and where the male may circu late around in the waters, on guard. He is the faithful one. He is the most savage of all fish excepting tie muskallonge, and will fight anything that comes near the eggs he is watch- ing. < “The bass fry with which Minne- sota lakes are stocked are gathered from sloughs along the Mississippi river. We take them when they are only fingerlings—catching them with nets and merely transplanting to tie lakes to be stocked. The headwa- ters of the Mississippi afford thou sands of these little bass.” Minnesota is fighting with all her might to rid the inland waters o7 German carp and suckers. These are the deadly enemies of game fish--not that they are equal in a pitched bot- tle, but because either a carp or suck- er will eat or mutilate a million eggs of the game fish during the spawn- e mately three-quarters of a milllon In the hatching tanks at a tem- | time within the ensuing month, at a dollars in maintaining her wonder- tul fishing opportunities, the state is a natural enemy of these egg-destroy- ing specles of fish and has sigued their-death warrant. ANOTHER NEW HOTEL VIODERN NEW STRUCTURE I8 TO REPLACE PRESENT ARDMORE. Work of Tearing Down Old Hostelry on Thirteenth Street to Begln Soon —New Bullding WIil Be Ten Storles In Height. Plans have been completed for the sonstruction of a new downtown hotel on the site of the present Ardmore hotel, Thirteenth street between E and F streets northwest, and the work of clear- ing the site for the structure will be started within the next two months. The hotel company was chartered In January under the laws of the Dis- trict of Columbia, and at about the same time an option was secured on the ground on which the Ardmare ho- tel stands. This property will be ta- ken over by the new owners some price of $125,000. Since the buildings affected have a frontage of 75 feet and the lots have an average depth of about 106 feet, the 7,950 square feet of ground in the property will be sold &t a price of about $16 a foot. The new structure will be ten sto- rles in height and will be constructed entirely of steel, stone and brick. The first two storles in front will have a finish of limestone, and above that level the walls will be of buff brick. It has been estimated that the build- Ing and ground will represent a total outlay of between $400,000 and $500,- 000. The plans contemplate a large lobby, cafe and dining-room on the first floor, rathskeller and buffet in the basement, mezzanine balcony over- looking the lobby and a ladles’ par- lor on the second floor. All of the re--| maining space on the first nine floors will be given over to guest rooms, of which there will be about 250. On the tenth floor will be provided a large banquet hall, assembly hall.or ball. room. A roof garden also is planned. The hotel will be known as the New Ardmore, and it will be under the di- rection of the Ardmore Hotel com- pany, whose officers include Franklin C. Jackson, proprietor of the present botel, president; R. B. Harrison, an attorney of Knoxville, Tenn, vice-pres- ldent, and H. K. Van Alstyne of Wash- Ington, secretary.
