LAST YEAR PROVED FERTI
Many Recruits Made Goo(
Heavy Batters Drawn fron
the Minor Leagues.
Speculation .?? rife amont?' the "fans'
to th-- .rop of young *tar pitchers that
he raised in the season of 1 *>*2. A gal
of beauties was deve|oj>?-d last year, an
Is doubtful whether the coming camp
w,ll bs abl? to Introduce such a large n
I c\.ept|nrially brilliant twirlers. !
?ral of those win. came Into promin?
_ Ihs last race did not have an opi

however, to lead the most ?inobservan!

Th? last season vvas more fertile t
?hat of mo. when King 'ole. of the C\

th? Yankees, no? to mention Bill Steel,
the Cardinal?, and Bobble Keefc. of
?'?neinnatl Reds, bti a mark for their fl
ye-mr In fa?t company which In the agg
gat*, is llk.-iy to stand the assaults of tl
without falling. Buhe Marmiard's na
may properly he added to the list,
though he came to the Giants In 1908,
did not hit his stride until last season a
may b? regarded .is one of the deveh
ment? of ML (?th?r pitchers who got
?tart last year and showed signs of prom
arm Rube Beaton, of the Cincinnati Re
and George Tyler, of the Roston Braves
Although the work of Marquard ?a
about the most spectacular of the seas?
since he helped the ?itants to win a pe
?ant, yet his previous service in the leagi
although somewhat limited, precludes h
from be;ng ?ailed the find of the year. Tl
honor is about equally divided betwe
. Alexander and Gregg. The Clevela
twirler had a better TOOOTt\ than Alexand.
winning: 2S gaines and losinc 7, which w
nearlv identical With Marquard's, whl
w.as 2i --?on and 7 lost Hut Rube was twii
1np for a pennant winner, while ?^?regg w
?.n ? team which tinistied with an av era
of .KB, therefore the palm must be awar
cd to Vean. Alexander won titra mo
game? thsn Gregg and suffered six mo
defeats, being the fourth In the list
leading twirlers. Alexander came to tl
Phillies with Chalmers from the New Yoi
State league. The latter was the star
?hat organization, and Grover was tak?
along as worth a trial. 'When Pooin pitt?
him aealn.-t the At hi.-tics in the ante-se;
son series. h< ?liscovered that he had a re
twirler In tow Almost any one would a
* e at this derision aft? i seeing Conn
Macks crew consistently beaten by
twirler. Alexander therefore promptly a
tia.-ted more attention than Chalmers Tl
iatt?r was troubled try a lame arm for
sreater part of the season, but be won
urines out of 21 and is looked upon to 1
as effective as Ahxander this year.
Catdwetl Of the Yankees, while his recoi
ti same? won and lost was not exception;
still displayed a flue assortment of curve
which earned th?- respect Of all the playe
tn the lliSf.H0 Rill Steel, of the ?"ardi?al

St. Louis in the pennant race for a tim
w ritte Bobbi. Keefe pitched great hall fi
tii? Reds, being particularly effect b
ran tho Qlaota Tyler, of the Bo?t?
'raves, showed the earmarks of a goc
southpaw, winning seven out of hevente?
pames with a tail-end nine behind him.
i i Toole. Ben?on and O'Brien did vei
little work last v.;,r. just managing I
break into fast company and show the
worth. O'Toole. the fff&OM wonder of tl
Pirates, won three games and lost two. II
was troubled with a lame arm and was n?
at his best. O'Brien joined the Red So
'?Ate In the ?eason. winning four games ot
of five start?. He earned the distinction r
being one of four pitchers to shut oui th
Athletic? la?t season, and his work will fa
watched with interest this y?-at. Danfortl
another promising youngster, Joined th
Athletics In geptembei and won thre
tames out of lour, doing his t? st work a
a relief pitcher. KVapp. of th?- Naps, wa
wild, hut reva-alftd marked ability.
Outside of the pitching department, iher
mere a number of finds in 1911. Joe Ja? k
son, of the Cleveland Naps, was easily th
biggest of the year, hut 'Stuffy" Mclhnli
of the Athletics, was a d?-v ?-lopment of las
season. Gainor. of the I ??troit Tigers

of th? Chleago White sox; Qeocge Jack
son, Jay Kirke and Bcotf*f lngerton, of th
Boston Bravea, all wun laurels. aVnOthe
auch Invasion of star talent this year wil
crowd some of th? vet? rans Into the mino
leagues.
Ratting champions >f the miii..i league?
attracted considerable attention from th?
big league scouts la*u year, and as a r.? il
many of them have been signed op to b.

?wo champion? in Hues, of the Nottl.vv.si

over the ?omlnK national championship as
to whether or not the National Association

He said that, despite a storm >?f vitupera

the proper cours?- to be pursued, anil that,
while tilings ha<l been tempestuous for a

Boxing Commission to Investi?
gate Attell-Brown Bout.
MAJOR DIXON NOT PLEASED
Bridgeport Club, of Connecticut
League, Now on the Base?
ball Market.
The State Athletic Commission, which
controls and regulates boxing in this state.
will investigate the Abe Attell-'KnockoUt"
Brown bout at the National Sporting Club
of America on Thursday evening. Major
John J. Dlxon. who. with Frank O'N'eil.
makes up the hobtall commission, was au?
thority for the statement yesterday that
seme questions would he asked at the next
meeting, on Wednesday. Major Pixon said
further that he saw the bout himself and
was not favorably Impressed.
Brown defeated Attell on points, but
many of those present did not hesitate to
say that the featherweight champion was
far from his best and appeared to take
lesa Interest In the outcome than was ex
psctod. Pome affirmed that h* was "stall?
ing. ' and so much unfavorable criticism
was aroused that Major Dlxon feels that
some action must be taken. He would not
say alone what lines the Investigation
would b* conducted, but It It? I'llte likely
that a number of witnesses will be called.
Fugen? McGMtfl announced yesterday
that the Bridgeport baseball club of the
Connecticut I ?cague will be placed on the
market. bSCfMM of the Intention of George
J. ?"orbett. secretary and treasurer, and
Tohn H. Freeman? president, part owners,
to retire from the game. McCann, the
other owner, says he will continue tn run
the club until other arrangements are
mad*, and will eiart the Connecticut
LM-ftM season on time.
Kauff. an OUtflsldOT of the Bridgeport
te?m of the Connecticut League, sent In
his signed contrsct with the Yankee? yes?
terday. He had a batting average of .294
for III game? last season, with a fielding
average of .NT. "tVnlverton has decided to
give Zarh Krbardt. the former lnflelder of
tlie High School of Oonuneree team, an?
other trial. He was with the Yankee? last
fall and played in several exhibition games.
He ha? been signed to go to Atlanta with
the recruits. Erhardt Is now studying at
? olumbla University.
?"*onnie Mack, tlie astute manager of th?
Philadelphia Athletics, world's champions
for two years, thinks the Yankees under
the direction of Harry Wolverton are to he
feared in th<* American l?eague pennant
mi? Which begins on April 11. He says:
"Wolv*>rton has a fin? personality and a
way peculiarly his own of Retting along
with ball players. If a man doesn't hustle
you can depend on it that TVnlverton will
. -?nie down on him a* hard as any man?
ager, hut he Isn't a bulldozer, by any
means. He has enough executive ability to
make him a first-class manager. He was a
tiptop player and knows every angle of the
game Me has fine material to begin with,
and his aggressiveness will help a lot."

Plan To Be Considered by New

WOULD AVOID CONGESTION
Atlantic City Anxious to Hold tin
Championship Tournament
This Year.
The advisability of changing th? yea,
gramme for It? next championship toixtga.
ment will be considered at the
eotniji
meeting of the New Jersey gtat? Oolf x?.
? r-fsetatton. According to Fred H. Themas
i It? president, the meeting will be neto a?
No. Tl Broadway next Tuesday after**?*?
j The reason for the proposed changa u
condition? 1? because of the unwieldy faia,
that congested the courses on the first diy
of the last two tournaments.
At Kng?ewood s year ago ?he*?? wen 1U
starters In the qualifying round, with th?
recuit that the committee found It trap.),,
iible to start the first match round thru
?ame ?fternoon, except In th* ehampio-jah?,,
?et. That m?ar.t that In all other divUior^
the final rounds on the last day had to t?
limited to eighteen bolea.
Word has also been rea?a?t\#?a* that the
Country Club of Atlant!?* Hty tn *u-*??ajajj
to handle the tournament this season. Thro
far it has always b??en th? Judgment at
tl.? New Jersey officials that if. would ha
better to keep the tournament nearer tee

?hat when golfers make up their mlMg
to take a f?w days off for a competition
they seem Ju?t as willing to travel ?w*
hundred And fifty mile? as fifty. There ar?
at present twenty-three clubs belonging (s
the New Jersey State ?"Jolf Association.
The latest challenge in the proiea?;or4i
golf world to cause considerable talk it
that of the two Britishers, Georpre Dun**at.
and Tom Bal!. The challeng- of thee?
