STAFF OF UMPIRES IS < SELECTED BY O'ROURKE. Eastern Association President Thinks It Will Prove Satisfactory — Men Are Leary, Bedford, Curran and Mc- Partlin. After a long period of silence spent in making sure of his ground, Uncle Jeems O'Rourke, popularly known as the Bastern Association of Baseball clubs, announces the makeup of his 1913 staff of umpires for the com- | ing season. Mr. O’Rourke, whose se- | ries of offices includes that of super- visor of umps, thinks that he has as fast a crowd as can be brought to- gether for indicator holding purposes. Willlam Leary of Philadelphia, who has done a good deal of work on semi- professional diamonds around Qualker- town, mailed in his contract early last week, and the others cama In Friday night.

Barry says the impromptu contes between Jefiries and Lansford was ranged as a sort of tryout for Jeff. The big boilermaker wanted to test his fighting strength on the eve of the big battle. It took place at his training quarters at Mona Springs and was witnessed by only -half a _dozen people, &ll of them trainers of Jeffries. Joe Woodman, Langford’s manager, and the colored boxer himself were the only ones present outside of Jeff's own handle: The litile, affair _has been kept a secret all these months, | only to be disclosed by Landford’s manager, who confided it to Barry.

In the course of with major league teams, the repre- sentative of the governor of Porto Rico, who has been endeavoring to in- duce the Brooklyns and the Yankees to go to Porto Rico for thelr prelim- inary training, disclosed some interest- ing facts regarding the American game on the island. He said: “Baseball was introduced into Porto Rico by return- ing college boys many vears ago, bt it received Its chief impetus after the American invasion 14 1-2 years ago. At present there are more than 50 Teally good teams there. Every hamlet and town has its club. The capital, San Juan, a city of 55,000, has a first class league of eix clubs. Thousands aitend these games and root royally. Baseball follows the flag, and the army and navy have been largely re- sponsible for its popularity in the Pearl of the Antilles, Many old American college bascball players have settled in Porto Rico and oceupy themselves with fruit farming, coffee planting and the raising of sugar cane, The game itself iy naturally adaptable to tha quick thinking Latin-American, as he glorles in its strategy., Porto Rican playerg are following closely in the footsteps of their Cuban prethren. Naturally their teems are not so fast, as they have never had the advantagé of competition with first elass Ameri- can teams. “The mean temperature of Porto Rico is 60 degrees and the maximum 80 degrees in the shade. From Dec. 1 until April 1 the weather is ideal for baseball. On the northern coast, if a tropical shower should come up during the day, the sun dries the ground in a moment. At Ponce, on the southern slde’of the island, there is no rainfall from Dec. 1 until the following Sep- tember. In the latter city, of 50,000 inhabitants, there is a beautiful base- ball ground, equal to any league park in this country, so far as the playing surface {8 concerned, and the grand- stand was given by A. J. Grief, mana- ger of the Guanica Susar Central. It gontains seating capacity for 3,000 peo- ple, and there is every convenience for the players in the way of lockers, showers, etc. The ground also has tennis courts, batting cages, outside gymnasium 2apparatus and a quarter mile running track. The Ponce nign school baseball club has beaten every baseball team on the island time and time again, and is looking for new worlds to_conquer. They expect to come to the United States in the spring of 1914 to play with the local high school teams. A. G. ‘Spalding has been requested to offer an inter- colonfal cup for this geries of games, and General Wingate has promised to give his aid toward bringing the matches off. The New York high school boys have expressed a strong desire to tackle tha Porto Rican school. The Ponce ball players belong to the best families on the island and, 80 soon as they graduate, come to the TUnited States for the purpose of at- tending college.” his negotlations DREW LEADING SPRINTER. Declares Mike Murphy, the Famous Trainer of the Olympic Team. It is not very often that words of praise for an athlete are murmured b: Mike Murphy, the great trainer, unless the athlete is deserving to a high de- gree of such praise. Murphy, however, | has a word to say about Howard Drew, the crack colored sprinter, who was forced to quit at the Olympics. “That Loy can beat any man in the world to- day for 100 yards. He's one of the fastest amateur sprinters I ever saw,” says Mike. After Drew’s breakdown in the semi- final heat of the Murphy offered to back Drew against any 160 yard amateur in the world for $5,000 a side. The occa- sion of this offer was an athletic gab- fest in the stadium one day in which some K ority of Patching, the South African, over the Americans, despite the fact that Patching was unable to secure a place at Stockholm. Unconsciously, perhaps, Murphy dis- closed his opinion as to the great eprinters he was training was the fleetest over the century route. After the games were over Mike de- clared, too, that Drew would have done a very fast 10 3-5 seconds for 100 me- ters (100 yards 13 inches) in the final | heat of that race but for the break- down. Drew has vindicated the great trainer’s judgment by winning every race he has run in since he returned from FEurope—winning, among others, | the national 100 yard championship. Drew was born in Virginia, but moved to this city when he was a lit- His start in sports was playing football in the back lots.

Metzdorf of the high school and then went under the care- ful eye of Mike Murphy on the Olym- pic trip last summer. The tremendous improvement that he showed during the short period that he trained regu- larly for sprinting influenced Drew to | pass up football for track work. i Drew is the kind of American ath- | lete that the Hnglishmen term a “spe- | cialist,” because he starts in but one event, and yet the little colored flyer, while not a Jim Thorpe, is good at al- | most anything. He can run the hur- dles well and has done better than five feet seven inches in the high jump and 1 feet in the broad jump. At base- ball he is gzood also.” He held down {right fleld on the Yankee team that | defeated Sweden on the Ostermalms field, back of the stadium, by a score of 13 to 3. M’ALEER’S WISE METHOD. Says Milan is Better Fielder Than Speaker, So That Latter Will Not Ask for Too Big a Salary. The Boston club had a lot of troubie signing Tris Speaker, its _renowned | center flelder, last spring. It was only | a few days before the Red Sox hit the road and started east from Hot Springs, Ark,, that McAleer and Speak- er came to an understanding on the salary question. Tris did not make bones over the fact that he was a membper of the “hold out” club. Fur- thermore, he stated all along that the Boston management would give him the figura he deemod he was worth or he would hie back to his Texas home- stead and lead the simple life. Nobody but those Interested know what stipend was eventually agreed upon. However, along about April 1 Speaker signed up. The selary was never made public, Nor was the length of the document named. Locally the | fans cling to the opinlon that Speaker | signed only a one year contract, Tho reason for that bellef ls becausa Pres- ident McAleer, in g slgned statement recently, gave it out that while Speak- er was a wondrous star and Ty Cobb a marvelous all round workman, Clyde Milan had the shade on both suburb. anites; in fact, that seid Clyde Milan Was the king of the mresent day flock | of outfielders. 1T Speaker only signed for ome year last spring, there was | probably ‘method' to the madness of McAleer's mutterings. It is only natural for Speaker to be nominated the king of the fly-chasers by his own president, and skilled o workman as is Milan in the game's every department, the Texan certain- ly has the edge on him. To the en- thusiasts in this section of the globe either Speaker or Cobb is the monarch of the men meandering in the mead- ows, with Milan, an unquestioned star, traiiing. So locally McAleer's state- ment is taken to mean that Tris sign- | ed only a one year contract last spring and that prefty soon the Red Sox chieftain has got to do business with his crack center fielder all over again. Hence, doesn’t want Tris to come too high as to terms.

Johnson of Harvard Uni- versity has made a careful saudy of the castern coast of North America to | learn whether there is a reason for the | general bellef that the Atlantic sea- board is slowly and steadily sinking. In the Annales de Geographie, Doctor Johnson says that he has found noth- | ng to support the belief. He reports that after thoroughly examining the |evidence, he concluded that if there had been any movement, it hed taken place | long ago. Some instances that seemed | to show a sinking of the coast were | merely the result of local changes in | the level of high water. For example, | within a bay or lagoon that is almost | cut off from the sea by a sand bar, the range of the tide will be far less than on an exposed part of the coast, and if the bar is swept away, the local high de level sometimes rise high |enough to kil trees on the shores of jof the bay. Doctor Johnson cites many {facts to prove that the level of the sea- |board has not changed for several thousand years. —_— $100—REWARD—8160 The readers of this paper will be | pleased to learn that there is at least |one dreaded disease that s has i been able to cure in all its s and | that is Gatarrh.
