Up to Players to Keep Ticket Buyer Interested All the Time Dra.tlo Legislation May Be Recom mended by the Powers. Plans are already being formulated by tho officers of tho baseball players' fraternity to malco tho big league games faster noxt season. President Fultz of tho fraternity Issued a very senslblo appeal to tho members along that lino In tho mlddlo of tho recent campaign. Mo pointed out that baso ball was experiencing a lean year and would probably liavo another In 1016, becauso of tho European war and un settled business conditions. Ho urged that tho players movo to and fro from their positions between Innings on tho run, causo no needless delays In bat ting and othcrwlso poppcrlzo tho pas time, so to speak, In order to mako It as attractlvo and, therefore, ns profit able as possible. For a whllo Fultz's words boro fruit, but games of few runs extended from two hours to two hours and a half be causo of dilatory and lackadaisical tac tics of tho performers. This has tend- President Dave Fultz. ed to disgust many of tho fans who dig Into their Jeans to furnish the wages for theso neglected persons. Tho fraternity has taken up tho sub ject again, and may recommend dras tlo legislation by tho powers of baso ball In order to spur tho lazy athletes to a moro jtoomly activity. Jako Daubcrt is an ardont booster of tho campaign for speed on tho dia mond, and is in favor of tho suggested legislation. Said ho: "It is a crlmo against thoir intelli gence and their Incomes for ball play ers to wasto as much tlmo as they do now In tho courso of nlno Innings. Baseball differs from football, lacrosse, hockoy and such sports In that all the participants aro not engaged all the time. For that reason It Is easy for a Jake Daubert. ball gamo to becomo dreary and draggy unless all aro on their toes and creating tho Impression that some thing is going to happen every minute. "Fans go to a baseball park not only to seo tho competition, but to en joy tho open air and to have their minds dlvorted. In othor words, base ball Is an amusement, with local pa triotism as an added zest. That's what tho spectators pay for, and It is up to tho men making n living out of the sport to koop thoso ticket buyers in terested all tho time." Pitt Has Star Utility Player. Coach Warner of Pittsburgh uni versity has a great utility player in Gougher, who ought to be a star next season. In the Indian game he kicked field goal from tho 31-yard line. .bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbk?' bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbvHbbbEbe Lbbbbb bbbbbbbbbbbbKTt m b uS ft BBaV U, . .1 BBBZ v fr i x . r BBB K L A y&L7 BBBBf y ibbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb! sbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbW bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbIbbbbIbbbbbbbbbbbbbbV bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbkV BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBbB BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBr V aV '' ' "' 4bBBBBkXsT h V vs BciaW BJ L . bbbbbbbbbbbbbI BBBBr) BBBBBBBBBBBfl .BBBBF'-MU; - BBBBBBBBBBBB bbbbrcwII - BBBBBBBbS BBBBk"? ii ' ,.'

' ' flKfll ' Cy Young, Once Classed at Best llio pre&cnt-day fans look upon Honus Wagner and Larry Lajoio as tho most ancient of ancients in base ball. Whlto theso boys hava been ca vorting tho diamond green for many moons, yet they nro school kids when compared to soma of tho players of tho past. For instance, look nt tho baseball career of a certain James O'ltourkc, who played tho outfield and was at ono tlmo tho star catcher of tho New York Giants. O'llourko's of ficial record began In tho year 18TG; that is, his major leaguo record. For seventeen seasons after that tho Orator, ns O'ltourko was called, was a star in tho big show, and for sixteen years Hon. James was a cen tral figure in tho Connecticut Stato league. Ho played in soveral posi tions, and ono season his son played on tho team tho Orator managed. So for thlrty-threo seasons James O'Rourko reported for duty every spring in tho pink of condition. Then wo havo Undo Adrian Anson, who for twenty-six seasons blossomed out with tho samo old dcfl that ho had tho pennant already cinched. Tho big chief mado good his predictions on many occasions. Then camo Jack aiassrock, the king of all shortstops, and old Englo Eyo Dockloy, two play ers who wcro no springers when they started in tho garao, and when they Cap Anson. passed out of it thoy wore old and a very much battered pair of vctorans. Both saw thirty-Ova years of very ac tive and hard campaigning. William (Kid) Oleason, well known to all fans of this porlod, put In twenty-flvo sea sons of very active and aggresslvo ball playing. Qcorgo Van Haltren, Jess llurkott and Hilly Hamilton havo all seen moro soasons on the diamond than tho big Frenchman or John Hon us Wagner. Somo hurlers havo stayed in the gamo so long that their arms cracklod and tingled llko a bag full of broken glass every tlmo thoy attempted to cut looso with a fast ono. Tho grand old vets of tho present day, such men as Matty, Ed flank, Cy Falkenberg and Nap Itucker, are mero urchins when compared to Billy Hart, Cy Young, Frank Forraan, Thco Hrolton stein and several others. Theso old boys heaved curves for over twenty seasons and mostly in major leagues, Every now and thon a namo will ap pear in tho box scores of some bush leaguo that has a familiar ring to it, and upon tracing It up tt will bo found to bo some grand old player whose BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBLl BBBBBBBBBfc. bHx ?'&'Mrim Wvw I I M mtmiLLJJk ill ' U3B RbbbbbbbWbbbbb ;'Ol Pitcher In Major Leagues. name was a hcadllncr in big leaguo box scores for almost a scoro of sea sons. William Hart, who was until a short tlmo ago a big leaguo umplro, holds tho record as tho liurlor who lasted longer In that position than any other pitcher In professional baseball. For twenty-eight seasons IUlllo Hart was constantly In tho limelight ns a hurl or of curves and bonders, and over halt that period was spent in tho big leagues. Tho remainder of his career no a pitcher was put in fooling tho batsmen of tho big minor leaguo teams. However, Cy Young, llko Cap tain Anson, holds tho record for con tinuous years' scrvlco as hurler and In tho big show. For twenty-two sea sons, as ovcry schoolboy knows, Den ton T. Young was classed with tho bost pitchers in tho major leagues. INTERESTING SPOBT PARAGRAPHS Tho prlco of peaco was evidently too high for organized baseball sovereigns. Dan Patch is looming up as a 2:10 siro as ho now 1ms 21 in tho select circle i San Francisco has unother pretty good thrco-ycar-old In Lady Frisco, 2:14. In splto of tho wnr tho trotters aro drawing big crowds at Petrograd, Mos cow uud Vienna. ' i Many of tho Phillies used their world's series checks for tho purpose ' of getting married. Sherman gavo war a hard name, but then ho never had to watch a I shuflluboard match. i World's scries nro a terrible nul- i sanco to club' owners. Jiut to think of going to all that troublo for a mero j $71,000. ' I Lafayotto was a friend of Pennsyl vania in revolutionary times, but thoro has been u chango in tho last fow years. It Is rightly named tho Cincinnati Exhibition company, for tho Heels cer tainly mado exhibitions of themselves last summer. It looks as it tho National leaguo and tho Amorlcan leaguo might go to war over tho subject of peaco with ; tho Federals. . Georgo Hrlckloy of Trinity is being protested ns much as a closo-strlko de cision against Ilclno Zimmerman in summer tlmo. During his vacation on tho half-mllo tracks this fall Walter Cox won 14 races, which helped some, as feed is high down East. Thoro Is a man in Pittsburgh, sixty seven years old, who still plays base ball. Joo Cantlllon ought to land him quick for his Minneapolis team. Atlantic Express now sports a rec ord of 2:07?i, and on tho day ho at tained it his throo-year-old son, Pony Express, was given a mark of 2:12- That American loague pitcher who said tho othor day that Ty Cobb wasn't so hard to fool took good care not to mako the statement In tho playing season. "Fleet will decide tho war," says Winston Churchill. Well, why doesn't England grab Ty Cobb, Trls Speaker, Clydo Milan, Georgo Burns, Larry Doyle and Cy Wllltdms nt. once? Claims First Chance to Fight Welsh for Championship. Victory Over Baylor Most Decisive Since Entering Ring Eastern Fans Are Willing to Back Him Against English Champion. Charley White fastened his right to the claim to bo tho first boxer to meet l'rcddio Welsh for tho lightweight championship over the 20-round route when In less than two minutes of tho l first round ho knocked out Mllburn Snylor of Indianapolis beforo G.000 fans at tho Atlas A. A. show at lloston. This was ono of Whlto's most do clslvo victories siuco ho entered tho ring and stamps him as tho logical man to combat Welsh for tho light weight wreath. Heaps of credit Is duo tho Chicago 133-poimdcr, becauso Bay lor is regarded as ono of tho best men of tho division. Tho quick manner In which ho was floored was a big stir prlso to tho fans, but a bigger disap pointment to Saylor, who had hoped to glvo Whlto ii hard battle and remain in tho running for tho first opportunity to meet tho lightweight champion. Whlto Is now tho idol of eastern and western fans who think that ho Is a bettor man than Welsh and nro willing Charley White. to back him against tho Englishman. Thoy havo seen him scoro six decisive knockouts in less than six months uud regard it as rcmnrkublo ns well ns un equaled. Thoy say Whlto Is tho best looking 133-pouiidcr they havo seen in years, and that If ho docs not triumph over Welsh they will bo disappointed. They havo seen Whlto stop Gilbert Gallant In flvo rounds Charllo Thomas in six rounds, Prcddlo Yollo in live rounds, Matty llaldwln In ono round and Eddlo Murphy In seven rounds. MEYERS PLAYS WINTER BALL Big Catcher Has Played With 8an Diego for Past Five Years Been at His Best During Summer. To "Chief" Meyers must bo given tho credit as ono ball player who does not get "stnlo." Movers has played winter ball with San Diego for tho last flvo years and has been at his bost with tho Now York Giants during tho summer season. Most playors who indulge in tho off season sport aro Inclined to slow up during the cud of tho regular sea son. Hut it is different with "Chlof," for ho goes plugging along at his same gait. "Chlof will catch for tho San Die go club In tho Southern California Winter leaguo this winter. Ho will also tako ono of McGraw's hurlers " i.. .- "Chief" Meyers. with him to strengthen tho team. Last year ho Induced Joff Tosrcau to go to tho coast and tho big hurler won tho winter championship for San Diego. Somo scribes in tho East say that Meyers is duo for tho "bluo slip," but watch tho "Chief" noxt spring. He will bo back thoro working regularly behind tho bat tor tho Giants, Catcner Whaling Balks. Catcher Hert Whaling, transferred by tho Boston National club along with outfielder Moran to tho Pacific Coast league, has refused to report to tho Const says ho will not go there under a;iy clrcuiuwtnnces nn1 that ba will probably consider ono ot tho of fers of tlin Kcileral leaguo. -v BBBWBBBotJbbBBBk tfm'' BBM JBF ueHM Bb aJSHhw TB8b.' ft arv y-ir - f s '' &"f' 'NSBtr'" ' .
