chased from the Brooklyn Feds.
Meyers starred for tho University of
California before he becamo a profes

Meyers jumped to tho Northwestern
League, made a hit as a first baseman
and went to tho majors. Meyers played
for the Braves nnd tho Bed Sox before
ho hopped to the outlaws. Tho first
stacker hit .232 and stole thirty bases
for tho Brookfeds last year and hlte ,303
and stole thirty-two bases for Baltimore
tho year preceding.

A Daring Critter.

pressed In this column their predic
tions of tho coming pennant race, &

thing new. But here's his proposi
tion: "In picking the standing of the dif
ferent clubs In tho American League
this coming season, I notlco that
nono of your correspondents seem
to think that tho Washington club
has a chance to finish in tho first
division. They may bo right, but
I think differently, and if you know
of any ono who would like to make a
little bet on the proposition, I have
$100 to wager against 11,000 that
Washington wins the pennant."
Now go to him, boys
First Bet Recorded.
Tho first bet that has come to our
notice Is in. A has put up five Iron
men against B's five that the Orlff
men win tho opening game of tho
season.
Of course. A hns a wee edge In his
bet. Griff will. In all likelihood, send

will be a new team with their ma
chinery Inclined to go bad In pinches.
But there's tho bet as it stands.
DojrMen Are Rallying.
Washington lovers of thorough
bred dogs are rallying to the sup
port of the coming bench show of the
Washington Kennel Club with might
and vim. It will probably be a
three-point show, which Is some
thing Wushlngton has never yet
stnaed.
The Capital boasts of some of tha
best dogs In the country, particular
ly in the bulldog. Boston terrier, and
collie classes. But owners of all
kinds of Jogs aro entering this lBlt
show and. according to Secretary
Watson, it will easily bo a three
point show.
Belnsr a three-nolnt show means
that a number of thoroughbreds will
be shown here simply because those
threo points will make them cham-
plons in their classes.

Griffith Takes His Players
to Charlottesville.
Charlie Comiskey, owner of the Chi
cago White Sox. was Inveigled Into tell
ing the other day of those olden, widen
days when he was manager of tho St.
Louis Browns, Just about the time that
Clark C. Griffith, the Washington tutor.
a .
was getting Into the game.
Comiskey told how they used to train
in those days, and It Is poalblo that his
tale explains why Griffith takes his
players to Charlottesville. Instead of
Dallas. Tex.: Macon. Ga or to San
Antonio, all places where the sun shines
hot enough to fry eggs on the pave
ment. "Times have, changed since I was a
ball player." said President Charles
Comiskey, of tho White Sox. "I re
member our spring training at St. Louis
when I was with tho old Browns. I
often think of It. especially when I con
sider the de luxe way In which playors
cf today lie handled In the South.
"Our senson onened about Anril 12. so
wo all reported at St. Louis on March
Li) all thirteen or fourteen of us.
Rookies weren't so numorous then; wo
were practically all veterans. Then wo
would get our oldest uniforms on and
run around the uark. This was plnas
inc work, especially when tt was biting
cold.
"If there happened to be a snow
Hurry and a heavy wind some of us
would cut our old overcoats off, Just
about the knee, nnd run around wear
ing them. I had a glove, being n llrst
sacker: so did tho catchers. But tho
rest of tho players used their bare
hands alwavs, and the hall would
sting. I can tell you. on those cold
mornings.
"Go South for training? No. nothing
like that. Wo did our work right In
that ball yard. Once In awhile we man
aged to havo a gamo with a pick-up
nine there weron't enough of us to
make two completo teams. But wo
never took nny short trips for exhibi
tion battles then.
"How well I remember the first tlmo
tho Browns plajcd In the South for ex
hibition purtoacs. It was. I believe, tho
spring of UJ. Our Browns and Detroit
of tha other league wero the big rival
then, and wo stnged-a series of battles
at Now Orleans. Detroit had Thomp
son. Brouthcrs, nnd players of that
caliber. Wo had Robson, Gleason.
Latham, Curt Welsh. Nat 'Hudson,
Bshong, nnd Cnrruthers nmonir others.
"That wrh a wonderful event- going
away to thu South In tho spring. To
day It Is ntiythlng but unusual.
"I was obfced If wo had any trainers
and rubbois when wo worked at St.
Louis In tho spilng. My answer was
no: It was too cold, anyway, to le rub
bed down then."

trol the crowd. The thousands waiting
to pay their nuney to moo tho richest
limited round contest In history, fought
and scrambled to get nearer the doors.
Receipts Pass 9145,000.
Moro than $145,000 has already been
taken in from tho seat sales, and with
the disposal of the final batch today,
the profit which even tho most dubious
now admit Tex'PJckard will realize, will
he boosted another notch. From the
first it was estimated Tex would hava
to spend at least 1100,000 In putting the
fight over.
While tho big, crowd was fighting It
self to exhaustion about tho Garden,
fight followers pouring Into town from
outside points, and tho big scrap was
furnishing the sole topic of 'conversa
tion In hotels, clubs, and bars, Wlllard
and Moran loafed or went through easy
workouts at the training Quarters.
Tho hard work for both rrton is finish
ed. Wlllard went a halt dozen fast
rounds yesterday afternoon. He Jabbed,
hooked and slashed away in earnest,
and then promised the much mauled as
sslstanta a rest from further extreme
punishment.
Moran will spar several rounds for
the movies today. He will also bo film
ed tramping through the snowdrifts

Betting Is Light.
Betting has been extremely light to
date. Wlllard money is most In 'evi
dence, and tho champion appears, like
ly to carry most of the public support
in the ring. Such betting as is evident
is based mostly on the difference of
opinion as to whether Wlllard will
knock Moran out. From five to qne
that Jess will not put ovov a slehp pro
ducer, offered a few days ago, Wlllard
backers had to talk hard for two to
one today.
Other fight promoters have Jumped In
to grab otl some of the money that will
come to town with the crowd attracted
by Rlckard's fight, and a raro selection
of bills are being offered. Two world's
champions will battlo before the Har
lem Sporting Club tomorrow night as
an appetizer to the big mill of Satur
day evening. Freddie Welsh, light
weight champion, will take on Frankie
Whitney and Johnny llbane, feather
weight tltleholdcr, will meet, Barry
Donahue.
Although Wlllard and Moran will
go only ten rounds and there will be

NEW ORLEANS, March 23.
Lengthy Laz Garrett had the
worst case of blues in th6 In-,

days. Then all of a sudden 'he
chirked up, appeared on the
field with the joy-light in his
eyes nnd demanded to pitch,
Eutting so much steam on the
all the catchers could hardly'
hold it.
He hadn't had a letter from his
young bride in West Virginia
during that blue spell and was
fearing all sorts of dire calami
ties. Finally he discovered that
he had been asking for mail in
his old room after he had been
moved to another room at the
hotel.
He asked for the right number
and got a flock of letters, and
the sun shone again.
