The blow meant the bail game if it fell safely and Chadbourne, risking everything on one su- preme effort, came in from center field and snared the ball a foot from the ground with his gloved hand. It was one of the most marvelous catches that was ever turned in at the Rainier valley orchard. Chadbourne, never a great hitter. but a great. leadoff man, fast on| the. bases and smart at the plate, v a valuable offensive man. it was in the orchard that Abourne won his greatest fame id when the Tigers open the sea: —n in Seattle it will be a strange ight to see somebody else in Chad's place out in center field.

It was a milder shock than that which came from Hot Springs when the Babe reported from the farm with 245 pounds, but it was a shock nevertheless. The Babe is at that advanced age of 30, which approaches the veteran stage in baseball, and at that stage where flesh comes easily and leaves with difficulty, Everyone seems to be worried but the Babe, “I'm 15 pounds overweight,"’ he sald a few days ago, “and Vil be overweight when the season starts, I made o mistake last year in trying to work off too much weight last spring, and I fell sick. I didn't feel right all season, “This year I'm going to use some judgment. I'm going to leave something for the sun to work on when it gets good and hot. I can play ball with extra poundage. All I need is to have my batting eye and the use of my arms until the weather gets hot. I could be a fat old man and still score a lot of runs ff the pitchers continue to walk me as they have been doing.’’ The Babe said he had an am- bition to lead the league again in batting and to make a new home-run record, “T never felt better than 1 do this year,” he said. “I haven't the mental hazard or the strain thaf I had in the past two years, There is nothing now to keep me from going out and playing base. ball every day, 1 don’t have to worry about other things, You know, I was afraid two years ago that I was slipping and I got worried when I looked over my bank balance, Now I'm fixed so that I have no worries about what will happen to us when I do sllp for ‘good, | Cincinnati Reds Fail to Impress Altho ORLA the R DO, Ma., March 19.~ Is beat Columbus, association team, 10 to 6, of May and Morris in the box di not exactly please nor did the bas running show big league brat BEAK GRAPPLERS LEAVE BERKELEY, Co March 19.
