— WRESTLERS ‘ARE VERY QUIET Wat Men, Usually Quite Busy at This 8eason of Year, Are Missing— Yussif Mahmout Coming. ‘Where are the wrestling champions? The baseball and football seasons are past and we are now in the period of the year devoted to bowling, wrestling and basketball. But the wrestling champions of foreign lands are not with us, as usual, This time two seasons ago we would have had two or three French title- holders, four or five from Italy and several from Turkey, Bulgaria, Ger- Yussif Mahmout. many, Switzerland, Scotland and other Jocalities. But now the only one who is roaring in our midst is Stanislaus | Ebyszko, the ever-present Polish claimant. If the wrestlers were wise they would hustle up and make hay while the sun ! shines. For the bogy man of thei ring, Yussif Mahmout, will be back &s soon as the war is over and then things will go hard for the dub mat | man. Yussif spares none, and if, by any miracle, he should be beaten, there is the awful specter of Frank Gotch in the distance. It’s a shame for major football teams to be kept apart by minor dif- ferences. The first basemen in the National league made 146 errors during the en- tire season. Every time Ty Cobb made a bingle last season it netted him $39.65, ac- cording to figures of Herman Wecke. The only thing that looks bad for fthe Ball Players’ Union is the fact that the club owners are not opposing it. Manager Stahl has sold Hugh Brad- ey, the Red Sox first baseman, to the Jersey City team of the International Beague. President Garry Hermann of the Cincinnati Re®s has re-engaged Train- er Dr. George Hoskins for the 1913 Beason. In an effort to develop a pitching |staff for the Cincinnati team Hank 10'Day tried out seventeen twirlers last imeason. Manager Callahan says he will stand pat with his 1912 line-up. “Buck” Wear wer and Rollie Zeider are sure of thety regular berths. Frank Chance has been hit on the ead thirty-nine times in actual games. obody can say how often he has been t below the belt. Almeida and Marsans, the Cubans twho played with the Reds last sum- mer, are managers of rival clubs in Havana this winter. ‘Walter Johnson, star twirler of the Washington Senators, says his team will win the pennant the coming sea- son if it will hustle a little. Mike Kahoe, the Senators’ prize mcout, says the Athletics look fine. | [He also declares that Connie Mack's wutfield will have bells on it. Harry Wolverton, the deposed man- pger of the Highlanders, made an offer of $65,000 for the champion Oakland team of the Pacifie Coast league. The Louisvilte club of the Ameritan | pssociation sold a box for the opening | game of the 1913 season, and claims | the record for an early advance sale. They say that Joe Birmingham, the§ new manager of the Naps, is the daddy | pf them all as a kicker. Joe was a great goal kicker while at Cornell. | Pitcher Marty O'Toole had a bad vyear, but he has not lost heart. “I| guess I've d down that high-priced reputation,” said Marty the other day. Owner Navin of Detroit says that if | the players demand half pay for the | spring training trips, he, for one, will 4 not give his team any training at all per pair. See the new patterns.
