Fans all wonder how you are As you spear one from the air. Is the old time ‘“‘pep” still there? AN last year's dlamond lumi- naries repeat, or will a new public eye during this season's pen- constellation Hhold | the mant race? This is the burning question of the bour, and not the Mexican situation, suffragettes or Panama.” Judging from the' training camp performances, most of the old guard will be right on the _ job when a safe lick means the game . or the bases are loaded and the count is three and two. 4 »The list changes just a little every year. ‘Some veteran who has been the 4dol of the fans falls by the wayside and one of the great army of debutants a;pl into the vacant niche. Among 2—Mathewson, New Pittsburgh. 6— none who 1s in danger of being dais- placed. Cobb, the kingpin of them all, is tearing around the paths at the same blinding pace, and his batting is just as true as of old. Matty is having little difficulty in making the sluggers swing at his slow one and expects to stand them all on their heads in the next world’s serles. Plank, the wonderful portsider of Connie Mack's White Elephants, was the pitching sensation of last year's world's series and bids fair to repeat this year. Plank has been in the game longer than any other southpaw and will probably be the first of the 1913 list to leave the big show. As for the one and only Honus Wag- ner, he 18 just a little slower maybe on hard hit -ground balls, but the eagle eye and the big mitts are still at the old stand, and It will take a sulphuric fleld while he is playing his position. If Tris Speaker's record breaking ry doesn’t go to his head he should shine as brightly as ever in the Red Sox roster, both at bat and in the fleld. Joe Jackson, the Big Dipper of the Cleveland Naps, has youth in his favor, goupled with a desire to beat Ty Cobb. ‘There is little doubt of his staying up with the leaders. ‘Walter Johnson is still working the kinks out of his rifie shot whip and when the real warm weather comes will be burning them across the dish with the same oid 'snap and 'zing. Johnson's going to lead the league this yel‘r. and then some. He says so him- self. ‘Then, too, there are Eddle Collins and Frank Baker of the Athletics, Mi- lan and Joe Boehling of the Senators, Reb Russell of the White Sox, Archer of the Cubs, Demaree of the Glants, years number, Bowever, there i smash to penetrate ths Pirates’ short|Daubert of Brooklyn, Evers and Maran- wville of Boston and all the other spar- kles in the big league dlamond. ‘Will they be there? Here's hoping. Otta Knabe claims for Baltimore the best infleld In the Federal league— Swacina, first base; Knabe or Sim- mons, second base; Runt Walsh or Kirkpatrick, third base, and Mike Doo- lan, shortstop. Last season many of the Pirates took up golf, but this year they are leaving it alone and attending strictly to base- ball business. Every man on the Smoky City team’s roster wants to land the pennant this season. Leon Ames, former Giant twirler, hopes to win many games for Buck Herzog this season. Leon arises to re- mark that he is not yet all in as a big leaguer even though this is his eleventh year in the big leagues. The Boston Braves haven't done much in the way of winning games in the south this spring, but George Stal- lings isn't worrying. The Bostonians, they say, are one of the best little hets of the season. Joe Tinker says he has landed a find in the person of Max Fish, a spitball artist. Art Wilson, formerly of the Giants, also brands Fisk as a comer. Mordecal Brown says he will pitch at least thirty games for the Otto Stifels this year.

Brooklyn Magnate Includes Tinker and Murphy in His Charges. New York, April 29.—President Charles H. Ebbets of Brooklyn comes | out with a brand new story in defence of his unsuccessful negotiations with The apparent hesitancy | of the Flatbush squire in producing a salary commensurate with the skill of the veteran shortstop has been blamed by the powers of organized | baseball as the principal attribute to whatever success the Federal league has enjoyed so far. It has been stated time and again that if Ebbets had shown liberality to the former Cub idol Tinked now would be with Robinson’s team and the Federal wgue would be on the rocks.

According to Ebbets’ narrative, which * was prompted yesterday in answer to an attack upon himself and organized baseball in general by the Federal league leader, Tinker, published in a well known magazine, Tinker was not signed Immediately to a Brooklyn contract because of a known con= spiracy between that player and C.
