PIRATE OWNER CONFIDENT P~ 1924 WILL BE HIS YEAR "Believes Giants Are on the Wane—Expects Better Results From Quitting Hot Springs for Cali- fornia as Spring Training Site. BY JOHN EW YORK, January 4—This N B. FOSTER. will be the first spring in years that ne major league club has trained at Hot Springs, Ark., once the most sought after of any camp. The Pittsburgh Pirates trained | there last year, and Barney Dreyfuss, telling of the benefits derived by ! his players, declared they would train there again. But during the sum- mer he changed his mind. An unprecedented drought at the springs in 1923 that blew almost ceaselessly had much logdo‘ with i‘a-nd e rain up to the time the Pirates left, and the worked out was as hard as a brick court. training season there was a chorus turned from the ball lot and began taking off thei wete calloused from cavorting on that baked gad " S1O¢ | l Maybe it was Pittsburgh's sore feet that did the Pirates out of a champlonship. ~Soma of the play- ers never got started all season. There were other ailments as the meason developed, but it s certain that sore feet had a lot to do with their troubles. It was feet that helped drive Drey- fues and his players out to Califor- nia, where the soil is not hard and where the team will not beat its trilbies so flat that arches will be broken and the official chiropodist be more necessary than the trainer. Thinks Infleld Is Plugged. Dreyfuss belfeves he has put a stop gap in his infleld this year and he is going out to the coast. where there will not be too many easterners watching his club's efforts to get in shape to snow the Giants under. Dreyfuss reasons that the Glants must have passed their zenith and that the Plrates, with the injection of some new blood, finally will win 1he championship they have threat- ened to annex for the past four seasons, Dreyfuss Is certain that his infield will be better, and that his outfield will return to the position it once held as best in the league. needs pitchers, though he has picked up one in Kremer of Oakland, Calif. XKremer may not prove to be any more of a_ wonder in fast compiny than Boehler was last season, but Barney is hopeful Aonther reason why the Pirates did not win last season was that their left-hand contingent broke down. Cooper had an awful season, and Hamilton is not likely to lead the Na- tional League as a star exemplar of southpaw ar Belleves This Is His Year. Still, deep in Barney Dreyfuss’ thinking cap is the thought that 1924 is his vear. been mnestling there for a long. long time. He has fought to get a cham- plonship team, and he has had suc- cess enough to get somewhere near the top. But that doesn't satisty. He is one of the few old-timers who till think the principal ambition of a_club owner should be the winning of pennants, regardless of whether he can show a bank balance at the cnd of the year or not. “I'mt going to have one more flag before I quit” he said, shaking his head with determination. And likes iy as not he'll get it, too. (Copyright, 1824.)

BY HANS WAGNER. my next chapter I intend to present what I think should be I!Il‘ grand all-America team of all times. As a preliminary, though, I want to lay before you a list of great | base ball men, including managers, {so that you will have something to go on in case you do not agree with me. | This thing of picking out the very best players you have seen in thirty { years is no ‘easy job. I hope you will believe me when 1 tell you that I have spent one solid week select- ing the different players and then going over them again to see if I made mistakes in judgment. Often 1 have made changes. Little things crop up like a man's natural aggressiveness, for instance, or his great ability in a pinch. These things all have to be considered. I have given up the idea of going by the records, and 1 think any veteran | base ball man would agree with me. | Some of our most valuable players {in winning ball games and pennants have never had outstanding record To begin with, I laid out the fol lowing managers as having some claim for the job: John_ J. McGraw, l"‘r(-d C. Clarke, Connie ) . Frank Chance, Pat Moran, Bill ‘Carrigan, ert Robinson, George Stalli ‘““f’ Frank Selee. ey man in that lot ha claim to greatn. Most of them never got what coming to them. Take Frank Sele for instance. Very few people know that when he wus breaking down lhrnugh iliness he went tfrom Boston {to Chicago and started building. laid the foundation on ch Frank Chance later completed the job. Poor Frank died from his long iliness, and very few of the modern-day fans re- member him. [ might say, though, that I will not make Selee my all- American manager. He was great, but others are greater. To show you that I have gone into the matter thoroughly—I think a base ball man would be a busher not to try and do the job honestly—I have divided these managers into two classes. Four of Fighting Type. McGraw, Chance, Clarke and Stall- ings used pretty nearly the same system. They ere, and are, of the fighting type—extremely aggressive. They were great students of the game and of human nature. They always made a point of studying the weakpess of every player in the league. including their own players. If it was a weakness of characier or a weakness at the bat, that made no INTERNATIONAL RACE FOR ASCOT GOLD CUP LONDON, January 4—The Jockey Club has issued the official entry lists for the spring handlcap races and the Ascot gold cup event next June, giv- ing evidence that these meetings will be of exceptional interest. because of the appearance on English tracks of an unusually large number of cele- brated forelgn horse Entries for the Ascot cup are hailed by the racing experts with spectal en- thusiasm, for this furnishes the pros- pect of seeing Zev, Papyrus, Epinard and Gray Lag, in addition to several other of the world's best horses, in a mighty struggle. Sport- ing writers here are doubtful whether such a remarkable fleld has ever be:n provided for the running of the cup. Whether Epinard will go to the post. and, If he does, whether he will be able to go the two and a half miles. are already subjects of some doubt and discussion. but the racing public is counting confldently on seeing Zev and Papyrus sgaln trying conclusion Epinard. regarded here as probably the bast horse of his age in the world, is also entered in the Lincoln handi- cap and in the City and Suburban races at Epsom in the spring. An- j cther entry for the first named event that is sttracting much interest is Norlalo, & chestnut colt owned by King Alfonso of Spain. This is the first venture of the Spanish monarch on the English turf. His horse is en- tered in the name of the Duke of Toledo, under which title his majesty races in Spain. As the weights for the various handicaps have not yet been an- nounced, the experts admit that dis- cussion of the prospects of the horses at this moment is of little value, but they agree that the noteworthy e tries make the coming flat-racing se son in England one of the most at- tractive in recent years.

Now, Wilbert Robinson, Connie| Mack and Frank Selee used another | system, all about the same. They | are of the gentle, lovable type of men for whom men will work their ! heads off just because they iike them | —would not want to offend or dis- nng:lnl them. ose men were, particularly good in handling tmidyoung players or the freaks who could not get along \elsewhere. They made a point of finding what troubled a young fel- low and nuraing him along by gen- tleness and encouragement. Wilbert Robinson saved no less than four §ood players for the game by being patient and forbearing with them, and there is no telling how many Connie Mack made valuable to the Teague. Some players really are tempera- mental and get upset when ridden | too hard. They are artists at heart | and get discouraged when things | don't break right. Robble ured to get two or three fellows like that to- gether and take them off on a fishing or hunting trip, making them feel that they were members of the fam- ily. The boys loved Bobbie so that they would do anything in the world | to please him. Besides that. he al- ways gave them some good laughs. Frank Selee was that way and so is Connle Mack. Except when the game gets close you'd think Connie | Mack a Sunday school teacher on | the bench. He always s kind and gentle and rarely ever criticizes a layer harshly In front of the other. He prefers to take the boy up to h room for a nice long talk. Connle Mack was one of the few managers who could keep Rube Waddell for ! any length of time. At that, Wad- deil had Connie picking at the cover- lets some times. Pat Moran uses a system which is a combination of both those that 1| Fave mentioned. He wants fighting | players and will hop on them if necessary, but at the same time he will be kind and gentle, always en- couraging. Moran has the knack of knowing a good ball player when he sees him in the rough. He will worry along with him until he gets results. | A Bateh to Pick From. Bill Carrigan of the Red Sox also was a sort of combination of both. He was a fighter and also a diplomat. | The players were very fond of Bill, | but there was no time when anybody | had any doubts as to who was boss | of the club. Now, in_selecting pitchers, look what I must consider: Walter Johnson, Christy Mathew- | son. Grover Alexander. C¥ Young, | Rube Waddell, Bill Donovan, Si Leever. Jack Chesbro, Ed Walsh, Babe Adams, M George Mullen, Carl Ma R e, Wilbur Cooper, Red Faber, Joe | McGinity and a lot of others. Just lay all those names out and Jthen start to sift out their strength »nd weaknesses. IU's a man's job,| I'm telling you. Then look at catchers: Roger Bresnahan, Johnny K lou Criger, Buck Ewing, Jack O'Connor, George Gibson, Chiefl Meyers, Red Dooin, Ivy Wingo Chlef Zimmer, Jimmy Archer, Pat Moran and Walter Smith.

PAUL, Minn., January 4.—Fol- lowers of boxing joined with the gen- eral publio here today in paying final tribute to the memory of Billy Miske, St. Paul heavyweight, whose body was borne to its grave at Calvary cemetery, by a group of litelong friends. Miske died on New Year day after a long ilness with bright's disease. Requiem high mass was safd by Father Peter A. Roy, who eulogized Miske's home life and ring career. The boxer was termed a credit to the profession; a man who always played “square with his fellowmen, both in and out of the arena. ) The active pallbearers included Tommy Gibbons, who had met Miske in the ring but remained a firm friend. Scores of telegraphic expressions of condolence continue to arrive at the Miske home. telling the widow and three children of the esteem in which “Billy” was held throughout the country.

Joe Beckett's final downfall in a vost disgraceful battle with Carpen- tier has applied a knockout to British boxing as complete, or almost £o, as any Beckett ever received. This, brief, is the sad, sad story that Augie Ratner relates to friends when they gather to hear his European experf- ences. “There are only two good fight clubs in all of England today.” says Ratner, “and the purses they give re- flect the general falling away of in terest on the part of the fans ove there.
