|G Power to Make Team nt With Condi BY JOHN EW YORRK, January 3.—One b N picture gallery of the major is good. For a long #fme Eddie, the great league manager. He did not care to man, but he had a yearning to get ou himself against some others with whoi he had been coming into contact | for years. As a player Eddie is no Spring quite long enough to be called a veteran, and if there is ar the Chicago White Sox who should be quite competent to guess what the |auiet when the siren volces of pro- other fellows are likely to do, Collins Collins comes into power, 100, just employer, Charley Comiskey, the Old Roman of base ball, the fight- er who thrashed all kinds of leagues n his time, finds his star In the as- iency and finds it possible to dic- to his league should be done, which is a pleasure he had not enjoved since some of the players of his team threw him down in the worid serfes of 1919. tate what Evers Is Not Pleased. With Comiskey to be reckoned upon, Colling will feel that he has a big moral force behind him, and very likely the plaving of the Sox will pick up and the teamewtll get away tfrom its condition of monotone to one of aggressivencss and alertness. As Collina comes in Johnny Evers goes out, and the veteran National T.eague player and manager, who has been in both organizations, is in re- tirement at Troy, N. Y., saying little but none too pleased with the deter- mination of the Chicago club to make a change, as Evers had come to the conclusion that he was to be carried on in 1925. He went to Europe with the Sox and returned with the Sox, without any definite promise, but he thought he would not have been ask- ed to go overseas if there had been any intent to let him go Collins has not had managerial ex- perience, but he has had plenty of time to look things over, and he knows about what he will have to face in the American League. The style of same played by Huggins and Fohl in the East {s self-cvident, and so, too, is that played by Mack. The game played by Harris in 1924 was not self-evident, because none of the other American League managers knew what he was likely to play, and tie fooled them. Sisler may have more success than he did Jast year, but he does not seem to be on the highway to it as the New Year is ready to look over the Bass ball landscape, and Ty Cobb stil} is walking the cotton fields of Georgla looking for a good luck omen and a secdnd baseman. Speaker has a team at Cleveland that will thump the ball as his team thumped it in 1924, but he can't win a champlonship in the American League unless he can pro- duce more than batters Most things consldered, this should make the start of Collins easler than it would be otherwise. He has nothing to expect that is different from that Which he has seen in the past, ana It is his part to go on and do the best that he can with that which Chicago already has on its pay roll &nd what he may be able to pick up. The “pickings” look rather scant for | the moment, because there fs nothing avallable one way or the other for a team like that of Chi- cago, which needs only a little to put it on its feet, but which is not likely to amount to much unless it can find that little.

The four Eastern clubs in the Na- tiona]l League, oddly enough, will be handled by four members and former members of the Giants. McGraw is at the head of them in New York, and his first aid, Robinson, runs Brooklyn, while one of his shortstops, Fletoher, runs the Phillies, and an- other shortstop, Bancvoft, runs the Bostons.

The forward pass, increase in vard- age to be gained for first down, with increase in the number of downs, gave the game a spectacular quality it had not before possessed and, among other things, enabled smaller colleges, through development of proficiency in the overhead game, to mect teams of larger institutions upon much more favorable terms than formerly.

It scores can be made withouf the con- stant crashing of massed bodies against massed bodies, without the gerous plling and grinding of players, so much the better for the same. There will always be rushing in foot ball because the whole tactical acheme of the game involves running grom scrimmage, If only as a mask - for forward pass operations.

He did not deliver the ball with a pitching motion as Spalding did. Base ball had progressed to the throw stage in Radbourne’s time and he used an underhand delivery, which was fairly easy on his arm, but he used himself up with such disregard for what it cost him physically that he practically pitched his arm inte uatleastiess It was Radbourne who won the championship for Providence in 1884.

He never flinched, although he endured pain that would make the modern pitcher take to the woods and call for all the doctors in the city to help re- lieve him.

There are in this city more than 100 pigeon fanciers whe are afiliated with the various local and national organizations in the breeding and racing of homing pigeons. birds in their lofts, and when it is number of persons Many of these fanciers have as many as 100 remembered that there are a large vho are not connected with the organizations who also own pigeons, it is easily estimated that Washington is the home of many thousands of pigeons. How many people in Washington realize what an {mportant part the racing pigeon contributed during the last great war? Many birds belong- ing to Washington fanciers were used by the Government in this fmportant work. The birds were sent America to thef battle fronts of France, where they were domiciled in speclally constructed lofts, moving with detachments of troops and kept in constant training for their task of carrying messages Have O Army. With them went a number of young men who, having gone into the work of breeding und training the homers for the sport they found in it, wer particularly well equipped to carry on the work with the birds “over there, Washington's pigeon fanciers are divided into about a dozemr districts There ie also the organization known as the National Capital Concourse As- zociation, which comprises the mem- bership of all the districts. Then there are several national organiza- tions, to one or more of which the majority of the accredited pigeon fanclers belong. They ure the Inter- national Federation of Homing Pigeon Fanciers, the American Rucing Plgsou Union and the Washington Pigeon Club. The racing plgeons are divided into two classes—old birds and the youns birds. The first race for old birds is usually 100 miles, and after this the distance is increased 100 miles at every race until 500 miles is reached. | During the old bird series of 1924 Washington undertook to fly longer races. One of the most importan: which Washington fanclers competed in was from Chattanooga, Tenn., which was known as the Chattanooga Combine, and birds from many cities throughout the East and central part of our country competed in it for the honors. The air line dist of this race to Washington was 5: five birds made the flight in a day. Young Bird Races Short. The races for the young birds begin with 1)0-mile flights, increasing to 50 miles, then 200 and 300 mliles. The entries in this class must be pigeons ouly a few months old: for instance, birds bred during 1925 will be eligible for the young bird races. The na- tlonal orgahizations issue aluminum bands with the year and number stamped on them. These bands are placed on the bird when four or five days old. They cannot be removed until cut, and no bird can compete in this class of races until it fs banded. Timing the races s an important matter, as cach fraction of a mile is taken Into account and each second of the flight determined. This is done by means of a sort of stop-watch ar- rangement, When each fanoier ships his birds for a flight in conjunction with his club or concourse, his birds are taken over by a committee that places little brass countermarks on the birds' legs. When the bird arrives at its home loft this band is detached from the leg and immediately inserted intd a special clock, which registers the time the band is inserted. The clock is automatically sealed and locked, and cannot be opened until reported at race headquarters, where the comi- ‘mittee in charge computes the time and distance covered. Homing pigeons have always played an important part in wars. Among the confllcts in which they con- tributed thelr share of service was the Franco-Prussian War. When bal- loons going out of Paris were filled with baskets of the birds, which, when lberated, carried messages to the beleaguered city. During the years of the success of Napoleon, Nathan Rothchild of ‘Lon- don, established a pigeon post in France and eome of the adjacent countri¢s and by means of these posts obtained informatlon as to the re- gults of the varlous moves in the Napoleonic compaign. Helped In World War. In the World War, the homers did their bit. The pigeon force of all the countries engaged included 8800 officers and men and 470,000 birds. At the close of the war the United States Signal Corps purchased 300 of England's best birds for the purpose of breeding in this country from this extremely good stock. In England there_are “ex-service” pigeons. These feathered messengers, under fire a number of times while performing their duty, have been pensioned by the War Department of Great Britain and plaged in cave of a keeper whose -duty ‘it-Is to care for them until they die. Among these birds is one known as No. 12 that was shot through one wing while carrying a message from one of the ships in the North Sea. Desplte its injury, the bird continued its flight, and, reaching land, de- livered a message that saved the town of Bridlingham from bombargd- ment. 3 Another bird, known as Flighty, that is on the pension list carried to_the naval base news of the ships that took part in the battle of Jut- land.
