SPORTS. o3 P :A \ AIMS TO REVIVE PRESTIGE OF THE HUB IN BASE BALL Junior Circuit Will Hold Its Annual Schedule Meeting of 1924 There in Pursuance of Policy Formulated by Ban Johnson. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, December 17.—In pursuance of the custom of having the schedule meeting each year in a different city, the American League will hold its 1924 meeting in Boston, probably some time in February. Two years ago the meeting was held in Washington. At that time a big trade was intimated by which the Yankees were to be assured of winning the championship. The trade did not come through, but the Yankees won anyhow. It was another of those cases in which a base ball manager was more lucky in not making than in making a trade. Last year the league held its schedule meeting in Philadeiphia, | After the event a dinneér was heild in an ice rink, and the distinguished guests sat on the cold floor and were so frozen that they could not make their speeches.

While not unduly pessimistic they readily admit that France will not finish first, but find solace in the thought that tie Olympic games are the greatest manifestation of international sports in existence and that the vanquished do not necessarily emerge from them with a loss of prestige. “While we would much rather win the Olymplc games than finish among By CHESTER HORTON __| the also rans,” said Frantz Relchel, general sccretary of the French com- mittee, “we feel that great benefit will be derived for athletics in France by the mere presence and participa- tlon in all branches of sport of the | 1o 4,000 or 5000 athletes—th: best in e S mismaial af gult 1y their lines of endeavor in fifty-twp | Telaxation.

This we will try to do.” In the winter sports, which are to be held at Chamonix from January 20 to February 5, the opinion was gen- eral that France would only place behind the Canadlans, Scandinavians and Americans in hockey, skiing, bob-sleigh and curling. They are out- classed in speed skating and only hold out the hope of getting points in the figure skating, where Mille. Yvonne Bourgeols, vho incidentally is one of France’s upper ten rackets in woman tennls, has more than an even chance of winning. French rugby experts were san- guine that the team representing France in this event had a good chance of winning, especlally if Great Britaln maintains her present decision of not being represented. In assoctation foot ball every one admitted that France stood no show. England stands alone in this sport and the French team has been regu- larly defeated by the Belgians and Czechs, while the teams representing Italy, the Scandinavian countries and Spain, have won more matches from France than they have lost to them in the international clashes of the past few years. With the advent of polo in June, teams from the United States, Eng- land and even South America are regarded here as likely finalists, as France has no combination which can place any of the foregoing in danger. In track and field events, the win- ning of which was conceded by all to be the real zim of all countries enter- & the Olymple games, France is not expected to total up many points.

Hans Wagner's name appears on every all-American star base ball team for all time, and what the old-time star doesn't know about base ball doesn't amount to much. In this, the story of his career told by him- self, he tells you what he knows —the skill of men and teams and plays, the development of the American national game, all the ins and outs that the base ball fan of fiodnr wants to know about. He gives pointers to the youngster and the coflege player and he tells the old hand where he can look for new delights by watching for fine points that most of us overlook. Hans Wag. ner's story is more than this, however; to it he has brought his sound philosophy and knowl- edge of men, so that the diamond, as he talks of it, becomes as broad as the whole world. And with a simplicity that makes ab- sorbing reading, he has accom- plished what many skilled writ- ers fail to achieve; he has given a living, full-length portrait of a man—himself. CHAPTER 7—The Base Ball That Blew Up. BY HANS WAGNER. Manager Barrow, I think, took a sort of fancy to me. I must have made him laugh. He knew that I could hit that base ball— sock the old onion, as they call it nowadays—and let me do a lot of things. I played in about every job, except pitch. He had heard about my pitching in Akron. He did let me pitch in an exhibition game once. I was always willing and cager to do anything. I was a big, husky boy and simply loved to play base ball. * While I was playing with Pater- son they got up the first idea of playing night base ball. You see, that idea is not new at all. Barrow and McKee made ar- rangements for our team to play the first night game at Wilming- ton, Del. They had the place all illeminated with big electric lights and it looked like it might be a success. When darkness came on and the crowd got there the prospects didn’t look so good. The light was too dim to see a line fly and it was impossible to make a good catch in the outfield. To hit an ordinary base ball would have been out of the ques- tion. They had made up a sort of base ball like the indoor base balls they use now. It was even hard to see that. The public was disappointed from the start. As the game went along they got worse and worse and gave everything the razz. The players began to take the thing as a joke. Wilmington had a pitcher named Amole who was quite a kidder. He had been ¥lanxxing to get me all evening. The second time I was un he pitched the big white looking base ball at me and when I smacked into it the Wwhole thing exploded and came near blowing up the place. They had got a torpedo and ut it inside one of those balls just to have a laugh on me. Thev certainly did get one. I'll never forget that thing flashing and going off like a cannon when I slammed it. The crowd didn't et any laugh, though. Instead they got sore and made a rush on the box office to get their money back. ‘What Stallings Wouldn't Give. Before that McKee and Barrow and the Wilmington fellows had counted up and divided the money. Tll never forget the way those fellows scooted down the strect to escape that crowd and save what little money was taken in, By the Associated Press.

I merely mention It to emphasize the fact that a slice may have its uses and that the duffer who suffers from unintentional slicing wauld do well to_ascertain the cause or causes. Having learned how to avoid siic- ing, he also will learn how to make use of It—if he perseveres sufficiently. At any rate, having rounded the wood on my drive in the morning round, I laid my brassie within ten yards of the green, chipped a mashle close to the pin and took, a four. In the afternoon, after an identical drive, my second shot was into the rough and my third short of the green. However, T sank- a mashie fourth and thus twice demonstrated, to my own mind at least, that par on_the hole could as well have been four as to have been five. (Copyright, 1023, The Republic Syndicate.) TTHE duffer has small use for a sliced ball. Neverthel the slice is useful— if vou can make it when you want to, and then only. As good golf as I ever played was that on the fifteenth hole at Cardross n 1922, when Harry Vardon and I opened the extended course. I had had charge of the comstruc- tion of the fifteenth hole. There had been those who.had felt that it had been made unnecessarily difficult, and T felt an interest in convincing the critics that the par 5 ought really to be bogie 5. The hole is a dog-leg, measuring 520 yard The first stroke Las to be playqd along the side of a wood, for a diS- tance of about 200 vards. The second stroke must be played ot right angles to the first, with the pin more than 300 yards distant from the corner of the wood. On both the morning and after- nwon round I plaved a brassie from the tee. On each occasion the ball flew straight down the falrway until it_reached the corner of the wood, when it took a distinct slice to m; But, according to Bill Killifer, who succeeded Mitchell as the Cub's lead- |er, *1t made him.” Killifer was not so clear, however, | when pressed to tell how he made 'lhls ordinary outfielder into a great | third baseman. 9 | "I den’t know,” said Killifer. “He had_the actlon of an infielder; we needed one so badly that I was des- perate, and I just plagted him there.

That was the end of night base ball. I had almost forgotten that torpedo ball until Barrow re- minded me of it while I was dig- ging up old incidents Ed Barrow was a smarter base ball man that I realized then. He must have seen that I would land in the big league some day so he set about to get a good price for me. There were scouts around there every day toward the end of the season. There were five of them on the bench at one time. George Stallings, who was managing the Philadelphia club, came over to take a look at me. He and Barrow were close friends and Ed had tipped him off. i On that day I was playing the outfield and, in trying to show off, made two long throws to the plate. I got them entirely too Jong and both throws went into the grandstand, making the spec- tators scatter. Stallings must have been d ed. “Well, what will you give for him?” Barrow asked George. “Give for him," Stallings re- peated with a _shiff. “Why, I wouldn't give that big bum his carfare from here to Philadel- phia.” That is why, I reckon, I did not join the Phillies. And I don't blame Stallings at that. T cer- tainly was heaving 'em wild. Then there came a lot more scouts. Prominent among them was Harry Pulliam, then con- nected with the Pittsburgh club, of which Barney Dreyfuss was the owner. Harry Pulliam, you know, was later president of the National League. In case you do not remember that far back, Barney Dreyfuss first owned the Louisville club and when the twelve-club league was cut down to eight he took the whole club to Pittsburgh, where he is now. Puliiam stayed around there watching me for five days. Some days 1 would play good and at other times I would be bad.

Barrow asked him to w He then telegraphed Mr. Kerr, who said that he also would give $2,000 That, of course, made it neces- sary for Barrow to sell me to Pittsburgh unless Louisville made a bigger offer. This was telegraphed to Kerr and as he never answercd the message Barrow sold me to Louisville for $2100. The funny part of it is that I went to Pittsburgh later on, after all There has been a good deal of talk about how I was sneaked to Louisville and all that, but the deal was made just as I have told it. Barrow kept his word. If Kerr had answered the tele- gram he might have got me. Personally, I didn’t care where I went. Al I wanted was to play base ball, the bigger the league, the better. In the same deal that sent me to Louisville. George Smith was sold to New York for $250. What do you know about that? George was a great ball player. He was later manager of the Giants. It was about George, I believe, that John McGraw had his first run- in with Andrew Freedman when McGraw first became manager of the Giants. The American League war was on and McGraw went out to get some players. He was particularly anxious to get Smith and signed him at a big salary, something like fi six thousand dollars.. That a lot of money in 1901. Just the same Barrow sold him for $250 and New York thought they had paid a good price.

They are even pay- ing big sums like that for minor leaguers\who have never been tried out in fast company. It was at Louisville that I first met Fred Clarke and all the fa- mous players with whom I later became acquainted. Fred, you know, was manager at Louisville before he went to Pittsburgh. What's more, he was one of the greatest managers base ball has ever known. red was first made manager while the team was on the road. Just to make it bad for him he pulled a bone in the very first game he played as manager. It was some play on the bases; I have forgotten exactly how it went, but that doesn’t matter. Fred came back to the bench and refused to sit down, he was 5o sore at showing himself up be- fore his players. He walked up and down in front of the bench and never said a word. The play- s kept looking around and also t quiet. They knew their new manager had pulled a bone, but they knew better than to roust the boss right off. Everything was dead quiet, but everybody knew what everybody else was thinki y ed turned to the men on e bench. “Go on_and say it,” he said. “Go on. I know you think I'm a boob, so go on and tell me I'm one. Yes, I pulled a bone.” He then sat down on the bench and the gang started to laugh. They told him, all right. 3y that action Clarke made himself strong with his players. He never four-flushed. After that they would tell him if he pulled one. And don’t you forget that he would always tell them, too. There were no more secrets on that bench or any other bench that Fred Clarke ever managed.
