By DAMON RUNY0N. N' . EW YORK. N. T.; Jan. 29. There are today in the United States, and environs, some 25 men to whom the doors, windows, fire escapes, and every other mode of ingress to or ganized baseball perhaps the turnstiles, are barred. Organised base ball rarely, if ever, bars anybody from the pass-as-you-ester opening. Some of these 25 young men are young and others are not so young -as they used to be, but they are kin in a common cause they are the brothers of the blacklist. True, organized base ball softens the asperities of : the team by calling it the ineligible list, but it is none the less a blacklist, and those entered thereon are debarred from taming a living in any league under the jurisdiction of the baseball powers mst as effectually as if they were in It doesn't make a lot of difference. rt that, because it appears that most of those blacklisted, or declared ineli gible, are men who have either passed tneir period of baseball usefulness, or iieer displayed enough talent to get anybody wildly excited about them.- It has been demonstrated time and again that any real star who gets in bad with organized baseball can easily secure reinstatement. Only Six In American. E ery club in the National league has one ore more on the ineligible list, but only three clubs in the American have put up the bars on players, and the total in the younger league is but six. tk xTo-a, Vnwir Amprtrsng have declared one E. Elliott, a young iriflelder. In- I eligible while tne uianis nave iwsicu r Ed Hendricks, M. C riyl. iarnesi t. Shore and W. A. Torrey. Hendricks is a huge left hairier who was dug up at Benton Harbor, Mich, bj "Crazy" Schmidt, and was tried out at Marlin in 1910. He showed some promise, but when McGraw tried to send him to Newark he leaped out of organized ball and has since been pltch mg in semi-pro company around his nome town. Monte Pfyl has almost been forgotten by the fans. It was vears ago that he hopped to the Cali ;ornia outlaws, and it has been some time since he has been regarded as a sen iceable ball player, especially for a Lir league club. Young Shore is a cadaverous youth who came to the Giants last season from a North Carolina college. He pained distinction for being pounded for 10 runs in one inning of a game at Boston. McGraw intended sending Shore to Indianapolis for development, but the long youth got homesick and is now back home. Torrey has been on ihe Giant ineligible list for several i o-c w ia a vounsrster who was ;fa'Sy,2 i tv-phoid and has never returned to or- ganized baseball. ,.,,,. ' ? S" ??2zt ?. 3n fr . Tho-nnson.

WAS Tales ifct"TTHEK I first started in the baring game," says Sammy Robidoux, the & newest lightweight wonder, "it as as a kid upon a battleship. Went into the navy at 16, ana did four years on the ships of steel. Every sailor does more or less boxing, and I took a Ric-t liking to the gloves. After I'd been in a dozen or 15 fights, some sports of Philadelphia came to me with an in teresting proposition. My ship was laid up for repairs; I could easily get a rea sonable shore leave and there was an amateur tourney on at Philadelphia. See the connection? They proposed to run me in as a novice in the 125 pound class, cop all the trophies in sight and crow over some other set of dudes who were back ing another youngster. This young fighter, so they said, was a lad named Eddie Stone, and had carrried off the medals and the watches two years in succession. If he could be downed, it would be great stuff all round, and I wouldn't be the loser. Did I grab it? Would a duck dive into a bright blue river? "So, on the night of the big tourney, there was Seaman Robidoux, entered un der the name of plain Samuel Robidoux of Gennantown and I easily stopped two youngsters in the trials. Stone, for whom they were gunning, did the same, and it was nearly midnight when- we came together. When I got a good look at Stone, I saw that he was a husky little chap, about 22 years old, and with an air of breed ing and real class about him. And, believe me, he was a fighter! "We went three rounds, the tide of victory swaying back and forth, and the judges couldn't decide between us. They ordered an extra round, and I tore in with all the strength I carried. I sure was lucky just as Stone seemed to be driving me back I copped with a leavy swing, and down he went, dead to the whole world around him. One faction of people wept and wailed; the other faction shrieked for joy and paid me $200. I returned to the ship next morning, somewhat bunged up, but happy, and was busy holystoning a section of the deck ,when a voice nearby spoke briefly, "I say, boy, take a message to the conning tower, will you?" "Ay, ay, sir," I responded, scrambling to my feet. A stocky little fellow in a lieutenant's uniform advanced to hand me the message and I looked into the discolored eyes of "Eddie Stone,' my victim in the battle of the night before! "Lieut 3,tone had just been transferred to my ship, so I learned during the day. He had been a crack amateur boxer for years, and a certain crowd had long planned his downfall but it was surely tough pickings to have an apprentice sea man from his own ship rung in to trim hird! I never said one word of the affair until my time was up, and the lieutenant never talked about it, either but many a wink and smile we exchanged during the years that followed. What I want to know, though I'll ask the lieutenant now that I'm out of the service next time I meet him is this: Did I commit mutiny that night when I struck my superior officer?" A Little Sport; ENNY CHAVEZ, the bantam weight champion of the Rocky -Mnuntciin district, who is anxious to secure a match with Frankie Conley is one of the most clever and aggres sive boxers in the game. It is the opinion of several local sporting men that have seen the little Mexican box that be is one of the quickest men ever seen in the ring, and that with. proper management he would be champion of the world at IIS pounds.

Talk of another world tour by the New York Giants was revived when it became fcnown that McGraw had talked the matter over with manager Comis key of the Chicago White Sox. Last fall McGraw made a half-hearted at tempt to carry out the plan, but the matter was dropped partly because of the financial risk and partly because many pf the best players refused to go at the last moment. Willie Ritchie, the lightweight cham pion, while in Denver, did a little lob bying in favor of the 'motion pending before the Colorado legislature to le galize 10-round fights under the super vision of a state bpxing commission. He was introduced to the senators and representatives and discussed with them privately the merits of the meas ure. President C. W.

Jennings' Bowls Good Match The crack Cactus club bowling quin tet easily demonstrated its superiority over the Wigwam team Tuesday night at the new alleys by a margin .of 1S4 pins. Weak totals were rolled by both teams, because of the swiftness of the alleys. Clark was the only bowler to roll a game over 200. and only three bowlers eclipsed the 500 mark for the match. Three of the four points were won by the Cactus bowlers, who rolled their usual steady game. Clark was again the man in the pinch for ne Cactus and rolled high total, with a rUInhe''ln'dustrial league at the Cactus alleys a classy exhibition was rolled between the El Toros and William Jennings' team. The famous on agin, off agin Finnigan" has nothing on the William Jennings quintet, who may roll a grand total well above the -500 mark and then again fall 300 points.

John X McGraw, manager or theicham plon Giants, peeled right down to fighting togs upon his arrival from Chicago. The little Napoleon is through with the theatrical game for the rest of the season and will devote the next month to lining up his men for a campaign for a third straight pennant. . ' "I will never claim another flag, said McGraw, "after what happened to my predictions in 1906. The old gang that grabbed pennants for me in 1804 and 1905 loked the best bet I ever saw In baseball. We had all sorts of tough luck in 1907. Matty contracted diph theria and Bresnahan was laid out for weeks before Donlln broke his leg. Such things might happen to us before October. . .. "I think, though, that when the bell taps, I will have just about as fancy an aggregation as ever repre sented New York. For the last couple of year there has been no lack 01 speed. I have a couple of recruits that will be given every encouragement who are just as fast as Devore. treorge vj...-t,, tho ntf ielder. may 1 not be as swift, but he is a wonderful base run ner.

I could have sold Stock to George tail ings last summer for $6500, and he cost me only ?750 by draft. That shows what I think of him. Stock, in my estimation, can get from the plate to first base faster than anyone in my club." . 3IcGraw to Depart Early. McGraw will leave for Marlin Springs, Texas, immediately after the joint scheduled meeting of the two big leagues, to be -held in this city next month. He plans to beat the "B-Hk-ies" to camp by several days. The youngsters have been ordered to as semble at St. Louis on February 18. They will arrive in Texas, under charge of Wilbert Robinson, on February 20. The Giant regulars .wll leave St. Louis on February 27. Thus McGraw expects to have 10 full days in which to study the recruits before the first string men put in an appearance. McGraw has finally put one over on his old rival.

He hopes to develop a -worthy southpaw from Fred Schupp, of the Decatur club of the Three-I league. Schupp was the "Iron man" of his circuit in 1912. He worked in 51 games, winning 22 and losing 20, for a bad club. Schupp seems to be fairly steady for a young port sider. He gave only 148 walks, less than three to a game, and was guilty of but nine wild pitches. Another pitcher in whom McGraw is very much interested Is E. K.
