Frankiin &t Next to We Paluce Cafe BASEBALL IS IMPROVING Uimmy Burke Says Rough Neck Base- ball Has Gone By. Jimmy Burke thinks that baseball i& getting to be a regular lady’s game nowadays. This veteran of the old times when the majority of diamond performers were so tough that vou could ecrack hickory nuts on their heads has not easily become reconciled to the genteel behavior and drawing- room manners of the modern athletes. “Handshaking players” were almost unknown in his day and the expres- ions, “Excuse me” and “if you please,” were not regarded as an essential part | of the pastimer's vocabularies. “The ! bovs all act like gentlemen on and off the field now,” says Burke. “If a man happens to make a one hand catch of a | liner, he tells the vietim that he is | sorr, d him of a hit und if a | pitcher a guy he is =0 broken up that he able to continue.

The men play but they don't g stirred up_ about it and carry th grudges off the fleld e they used to. T can remember the time when it wasn't considered a legal game of pall by some clubs unless there was a fist fight somewhere along the way. Battles on the diamond, in the club- house, and in the hotels were com- mon that nobody paid much attention | to them. There may be a few fights | now, but they are so rare that they, make 2ood gossip. “Things are much better as _ they are, though, I'll admit. 'The 'public wouldn't stand for the rough stuff that used to be pulled in the old days and the players had to cut out or their jobs would have fled. There was a time when decent women hesitated to 20 to the games in some of the cities, but now a good quarter of the grand stand crowd at every big league game is composed of members of the fair #ex. And they never see or hear any - 1hing that would offend them either. if a club should try to-pull the rough- | nieck tactics now there would be such «n indignant uprising among the fans | that patronage would fall away to al- most nothing. Clean baseball is what brings in the money at the box office and that seems to be what the mag- nates are after.” YOUNG A FREE AGENT. Decision Made by National Commission. Baseball A decision of importance to minor league players was made by the na- tional baseball commission in the claim of Player George C. Young, who asked the commission to reverse the decision of the national board's disallowance of his claim to be declared a free agent. The commission granted the player's request. Last fall the player was released by Cleveland to the Toledo_ (0. club, which desired to release Young to an- other league and gave the Charleston (W. Va) club an option on his services as a catcher. According to previous findings this option should have been exercised by February 1, 1914, but the laver did not receive a contract until ebruary 26. The commission holds that the failure of the Charleston club to tender a contract to Young Febru- ‘ary 1 cancelled. its right to his ser- vices and gave the plaver liberty to comtract with any clu> b= Zight elect. | news was construe | Dept ish.

Percy Haughton is going to drill Harvard In the forward pass. Not that the Crimson coach has been converted. He still thinks as little of the peg as ever—or says he does—but feels that his men should know how to use it and defend agalnst it. It will be remembered that after the 1918 season Coach Haughton severely criticized this play both as allen to the fundamental principles of game and worthless as an addition offen - sive football. His contention was that the play gained so little ground and lost so much through the difficulty of its op- eration that it ought to be eliminated. It is understood that Mr. Haughton led the argument in favor of its elim- ination at the recent meeting of the rules committee. The members of the committee were unwilling to abolish it. Haughton probably feels, therefore, that since this play is to remain a part of football attack, it will be necessary to maintain a defense for it and to make any practical use of it that is possible. Haughton has announced that he will take personal charge of the spring practice for the first time since he became head coach. He is going to do this partly because of the hard schedule the Crimson must play this fall, but also because he lost a number of veteran linemen and feels that he must dig up capable substi- tutes this spring instead of waiting for them to appear in the fall. In addition to announcing that the spring practice will be under his per- sonal supervision, Haughton has let it be known that unusual consideration will be given to the new candidates who report this spring, and particu- larly that they will receive the prefer- ence over football material that waits until fall to announce itself, although ! now in college. All this means that the Crimson ! will have a.record breaking list of men out for the spring work. FRENCH WOMAN ISSUES CHALLENGE. Wants to Box Any Woman in France. Inspired, perhaps, by her men’s valor within' the prize ring, a young Frenchwoman named Marthe Carpentler, who has gained some re- nown in the gymnasium where she at- country- tends a class, has issued a challenge | to box any woman of her weight for the champlonship of France. She does not claim to be related Carpentier, the French champion, al- though bearing the same family name. | As to her fighting weight, La Belle Marthe is somewhat undecided, and, with true feminine caprice, she re- | serves the right to weigh whatever she ! likes when she enters the ring. This high spirited young lady 1s not to be ! tled down Dby such a material matter | as the difference of a few pounds and i ounces. Asked how a possible ,opponent might know at what weight she wouid | be expected to enter the ring, Marthe possible oppo- nent would be allowed the privilege of looking her over any time beforehand, | from which said opponent could draw | her own conclusions as to the required | weight. This amusing challenge provoke is sure to much mirth in the French capital when it becomes generally kno At the same time is gives ex- pression to the tremendous boom box- ing is enjoying among the French. HOLDEN LIKE SCHULTE. Manager Chance is Taken Up With New Man's Playing. “That young fellow reminds me more and more. of Frank Schulte ev ery time I see him swing at a ball, sald Frank Chance, as Bill Holden, Yankee outflelder, formerly with New | London, took his first turn at bat against the Buffalo International leaguers recently. “He has the same careless, haif asleep sort of position, and brings his bat down from his shoulder with the same sudden swipe. And hits a ball just about as hard. “If he could run the bases and slide Td make one of the game's greatest outflelders of him. He judges a bat- ted ball as well as any player I have even seen in action, and staris after a He is slower on his feet than any other outflelder on my team, vet covers as much territory as any of them, simply because he knows where to go. He can throw with any of them—and he can hit. He has many of Schulte’'s man- nerisms at the plate. He doesn’t fid- get nervously around as Ty Cobb and Joe Jackson and many other great batters do. Just to look at him omne would imagine his thoughts were about 600 miles away from this par- ticular ball field. Yet when he sees the ball he wants to hit at. that bat comes swinging off his shoulder with a force and snap that sends a ball a long, long way.” WHERE WILL SEATON PLAY. Ward Says in Brooklyn—Gilmore, Chi- cago. In the scramble for the services of Tommy Seaton, the Brooklyn Federal league club finds itself Jined up against the strongest influences in the lea President Gilmore, contrary to promise to the Brooklyn club -that h it could have Seaton, has taken sides with Joe Tinker and ordered Seaton to re- main in Shreveport with the Chicago team. The Wards are highl incensed over the turn which the Seaton case has taken. Theasurer Walter Ward said the other night: “‘Seaton is our property, and Gilmore, Weeghman and Tinker have no right to interfere with his reporting to the Brooklyn club, You can positively der any reports coming from Chicago or Shreveport that Seaton will play with Chicago. He belongs to us and will play in Brooklyn.” If the Chicago crowd persists in en- couraging Seaton to carry out his own wishes about playing with Chicago, there is likely to be disruption in the league ranks. The Wards have taken the firm stand that Seaton must play with Brooklyn, CLABBY TO MEET MURRAY. Bout Comes Off Friday—20 Round Bat- tle to a Decision. Within a few days now we shall have a definite line on the true ring ability of Billy Murray, California’s latest and most spectacular contender for the middleweight championship honors. Next Friday night in Coffroth’s Daly City arena, Murray will be put to the acid test when he faces the asile Mr. James Clabby in a 20 round battle to a decision. From the viewpoint of an unblaseds, looker-on it seems as though the Cal- ifornia friends of Murray are unwise- 1y risking his ring future by sending him at this time against such a ster- ling and seasoned performer as Clabby. Murray may be every whit as good a battler as his enthusiastic partisans declare, but even at that it must be admitted that he has been fighting too short a time to acquire the polish and experience necessary to make him fit to cope with an opponent of Clab- by's class.

Albert Benoit of Willimantic chal- lenges McGraw of the State Hospital and Bullivan of the Sodality for a game of pool and also wishes to make it known that he will play anyene in Bastern Connecticut for the champlon- ship titla.

Scrimmages Will Be Played After A Short While. All the ellgible men for the 1914 varsity football team must report for their daily work to Captain Brickley and Coach Percy D. Haughton, and only those who are engaged in other lines of varsity sports at Harvard this spring will be exempted. The first session of practice will be on ‘Wednesday, April 1, and it will con- tinue untll the opening of the spring vacation at Harvard about three weeks later. Captan Brickley and Coach Haugh- ton have decided on scrimmages for the men this year, and after a pre- liminary week of work, in which the players will have a chance to strengthen their muscles, the squad of men will be split up and regular games played. Head Coach Haugh- ton will be assisted in the spring training by Paul and Lothrop With- ington, Tom Campbell, Bob Fisher and Sam Felton. % Harvard has never before had such & pretentlous spring_ workout for the football men. The first real _spring practise was held a year ago when the men went through their gridiron work under the guldance of a few second string coaches but this year Haughton and Captain Brickley are having as careful an oversight as if it were au- tumn. The plavers who will be unable to of spring are now en- gaged in other branches of sport at Harvard are Tacks Hardwick, who is | out for the baseball team; Ernest Soucy of the varsity crew. WHERE IS TOM SEATON GOING THIS YEAR? | Sire of . Him, s Chiosge Makes Strong Bid. Tommy Seaton, the pitcher jumped the FPhiladelphia league club to the IFederal will surely play with the Brooklyn club this summer. This announce- ment was made recently by George §. Ward, vice president of the club, on his return from Chicago. had a long conference with President Weeghman of the Chicago club and i- was explained to the Brooklyn official that Tinker was not trying to spirit Seaton away from the Brooklyae~ Mr. ‘Weeghman explained that Seaton was training at the Chicago amp at Shreveport to spend the training time with Addie Brennan, who was his chum on the Phillies. Mr. Ward stated that he was willing to have Seaton train with the Chicago club, as he knew that the pitcher had no intention of trying to break his contract with Brooklyn. Mr. Ward said also that the Brookiyn club would not trade Seaton to any of the other clubs. Mr. Ward expects to join the Brooklyn training camp this week. Chicago Bids. Four players, including Cad Coles, Wards who National league, an outflelder, will be added to the Brooklyn Federal league club as part of the deal by which Tom Seaton, pitcher of the Phillies last year, transferred to the Chicago Federals. This news was contained in des- patches from Shreveport, La., the training camp of Joe Tinker's Chicago team. One of the four whom Chicago will give is a young pitcher, according to Tinker. Coles was to play right field for Chicago. In his place Tinker pur- poses to use Ed Zwilling. HEAVIEST CREW IN YEARS. is Yale's Varsity Eight Averages 174 Pounds—More Force to Stroke. fter six weeks of hard work, the rowing situation at Yale has devel- oped so that the crews’' prospects can be clearly judged. In the first place, the present varsity eight is the heavi- est in years, the men averaging 174 pounds. This is four pounas more than the average weight of this year's big Harvard cre One contrast last year is shown in the fact that Crock- er, the 153 pound stroke of the 1913 grew, is now rowing in the third bge Gilfillan, captain of last year's fré man crew, is stroking the varsity at present. The experimental period has passed and the varsity men are all rowing What the coaches have chosen as thc best combination of the English and American strokes. The stroke combines great driving train_on the men than before. The work this year glves the men a much harder tryout than they have had for vears. They are sent over a 15 mile course daily. This long daily drill is to give the crew endurance for the grueling race on | June 18. The first and second boats will race on April 8 to decide the tentative makeup of the first boat, but there are likely to be many changes after that because of the large number of big, powerful oarsmen who have had little experience, but whose weight and strength will make them danger- ous competitors if they continue to improve. BAKER WILL ENTER HARVARD. Princeton’s Crack Hockey Player Will Enter Law School. “Hobey” Baker, Princeton’s crack hockey player and captain of the foot- Dball eleven last year, is going to enter the Harvard Law school next fall, ac- cording to announcement from Bos- ton. He is not the first athlete from other universities who has entered the law department at Cambridge, among others having been Stephen Philbin, | a Yale catcher; Henry Cochems of University of Wisconsin; Robert Taft, & Yale oarsman; Schoelkoph of Cor- nell, Barry and Gammons of Brown, and a number of others. Baker, were students in graduate departments eli- gible to play on Harvard teams, would be an accession to the Crimson. As it is, he will in all probability be found playing with the Boston Athietic as- soclation’s hockey team next winter. D|SCIPLIN—E_ON FEDS’ FIELD. Player Will Bs Fined $25 for Being Put Out of a Game. Before returning to Chicago Presi- dent Gflmore of the Federal league said at New York he was well pleased with the progress of the Federal league park in Brooklyn and predicted it would be finished by the start of the season. “Also I expect to see Tom Seaton pitch the opening game in Brooklyn,” continued Gilmore. “He will positively play for Brooklyn, and I know nothing of any trade being arranged with Chicago.” When asked about the discipline which will be enforced on Federal league diamonds, Gilmore said the league's umpires have been instructed to rule firmly. “We will go even fur- ther than the National and American leagues in preserving discipline. Any player who is ordered out of a game automatically fines himself 325. If he fails to pay his fine within 48 hours the player's club will automatically be fined $100. Giants Add Another.
