COLLEGE rLA i EK JNOW BIG
FACTOR IN MAJOR LEAGUE
BALL, SAYS UMPIRE EVANS
New York, April 12.—During the next
three months the college baseball player
%\ ill hold a prominent position in the
I] ring sporting programme. His record
w i;i be followed elostp. by university
alumni ami with even closer scrutiny by
tin; professional scout, for major league
CJvb managers ace fully aware that oc
casionally a star may be plucked from
th • varsity diamond, t4, layers of the cal
ibre of Eddie Collins and Christy Math
evrson are found but infrequently. There
always exists, however, the possibility
of securing players who, if not capable
Of ma.ioi league speed at the outset of
thtir professional careers, can quickly
bo coached and trained to the point
where they are a decided acquisition to a
big circuit club.
1'nder professional coaching the stand
ard of play in college baseball has risen
rapidly during the past few years. Vet
eran.- big leaguers hav* aided the nat
ural player by advice and instruction.
Little hints on how to hat; take the ball
tof a quick throw and. other points of
technique in the game quickly bring
players with natural qualification; with
in the range of major league possibili
ties. All those connected with the pro
fessional game today realize that the
college baseball team offers one of the
last recruiting grounds at the disposal
of the big league magnates. Billy Evans,
the American league umpire, a college
graduate and close observer of every an
gle of baseball, said recently in discuss
ing this phase of the same:
"The college ball player has become a
; l'ig factor In the major leagues. Ten
I years ago a collegian was a rarity in a
; l»ig league line-up. A few years ago
major league scouts, In search of prom
i. mik material, iravc the college games
' very little Consideration. At a big game
! last summer between two strong col
j b ge teams, exactly 12 major league
j wills " iv in attendance. Quite a te.s
I tii n»nial to the value ptaced on the eol
"g«- player by the men whose duty it
1 is to pick up future big league stars!
■’I'unnie Mack is the pioneer In the
exploiting *» f the college player. The
; i»iOurceUil lead* of the world s cham
pions saw the worth of the college player
b'l.g before any other major league num
ber looked on tie- varsity athlete seri
” cly. f once asked Mack why lie was
aiways so anxious to look over the prom
| ising college players. His reply was brief
i i" • characteristic of the famous leader
<c tin Athletics. ‘T like players who can
think. Four years of study certainly
, cUit to improve a felloe's intelligence
M it hasn't, it doesn't take me very long
to discover the fact. Another reason
■ why i favor the collegian, is because he
<oires to me free from any other style
J of play. It Is much easier to get players
* cot ustomed to your way of thinking who
! i\e never been drilled in any other
system. Another point in favor of the
< t ’legion is that he knows pretty well
j 1 he host rules for keeping in condition.
I I have no use forplayers who fail to keep
in shape. He also has been taught the
real value of discipline by his professor

JOHNSON AND TENER BOTH OPTIMISTIC ’
OVER PROSPECTS FOR COMING SEASON
New York. April 12.—On the eve of
the major league baseball season execu
tives and magnates of the American and
National leagues predict prosperity. Or
ganized ball, ignoring the invasion of its
field by the newly formed federal group
of owners and players, reiterates its faith
in the loyalty of Its followers and the
standard of the game as played by its
clubs.
Both President Ban Johnson of the
American league and President John K.
Tener of the National league, outlining
the prospects of their respective organi
zations for the 1914 season, express the
belief that organized baseball will re
ceive the confidence and support accorded
it by devotees of the game in past years.
In fact optimism, harmony and enthu
siasm appear to be the words of the
hour of the major leagues, as represented
by their presidents a few hours be
fore the initial contests of the new base
ball year.
President Johnsqpi, as the spokesman
for the junior association, states:
“The American league, which enter
tained the largest aggregate number of
fans In its history during the season
of 1913, looks forward to another year of
loyal support from the public—support
earned by the constant efforts of its club
owners to give patrons the best there is
in America’3 national game. The con
fidence thus established by 14 years of
square dealing with the public is a tre
mendous asset in case any.' hostile or
ganization becomes formidable, which we
do not anticipate.
“I think the quality of baseball to he
played this year will equal or excelt that
of the past. The Philadelphia Athletics
naturally command the greatest respect
because of their pennant and world’s se
ries victories, but several other cluos
must be given serious consideration by
those attempting to name the winner in
advance.
Washington and Boston are clubs of
known strength. Chicago appears to
have found new Mien of exceptional value.
Cleveland has not been seriously crippled
by the Federal league Invasion, but ac
cidents to Chapman and Deibold will In
terfere materially with its success in
the parly part of the season. Detroit has
developed two or three players of splen
did promise. Chance is Topeful of mak
ing a splendid showing this year, and
I ain encouraged over the prospects of the
New York club. St. IjouIs has one of the
best pitching staffs in the league, and
n little hitting strength behind this pitch
ing will make the Browns dangerous
against any club.”
I President Tener, as representative of
the National league, expressed similar
sentiments as follows:
“At the very best, baseball predictions
are no more than precarious judgments.
So many unforeseen and uncertain ele
ments enter into a baseball championship
that it is futile to estimate the relative
playing strength of eighc clubs and at
tempt to forecast their position at the
end of the season.
“Generally speaking 1 am well pleased
over the outlook in the National league,
and for organized baseball everywhere,
for the season of 1914. 'I have not re
ceived a report from a single club owner
that has contained a pessimistic tone.
“I think competition will be keen in
our organization this season. With the
probable exception of one club, I believe
every team in the Rational league is
stronger this year than in 1913, and, if
I am not mistaken, this condition will
naturally produce a good, even stirring
fight for the pennant.
“From my contact with the general
public, I am led. to believe that interest
in organized baseball never was greater
and Its confidence never so strong. It is
this enthusiastic interest and unques
tioned confidence in organized baseball
that leads me to state unhesitatingly
that I expect a year of financial and ar
tistic success for organized ball in gen
eral.”
SOUTHERN STARTS
RACETUESDAY
Atlanta, April 12.—The Southern asso
ciation will open its fourteenth playing
season Tuesday. For the first time the
I organization has a schedule calling for
the playing of 164 games. The number
of contests usually has been limited to
140. Games for the opening day are
scheduled as follows:
Nashville in Atlanta.
Memphis in Chattanooga.
Mobile in Birmingham.
New Orleans in Montgomery.
Only three of last year's managers will
retain their same directorships. William
Smith of Atlanta, William Schwartz of
Nashville, and Carelton Molesworth of
Birmingham are the old managers. John
Dobbs, manager of the Montgomery club
last season, will direct the New Orleans
team this year, Robert Gilks. former scout
for the Cleveland American league club,
succeeding Dobbs at Montgomery. Mich
ael Finn, late manager at Mobile, will
occupy the same position with Memphis
this year. Briscoe Lord, a former New
Orleans player, will direct Mobile. Harry
McCormick, formerly of the New lrork
Nationals, will manage Chattanooga.
All of the opening series will consist of
four games. The home teams, then, in
each instance, will go to the visiting
dubs* cities for a series. A prize W’ill be
given by the league officials to the city i
showing the largest paid attendance at
the first game played in it.
Pennant winners during the history of
the organization have been as follows: ^
1901-1902, Nashville; 1903-1904, Memphis;
1905. New Orleans; 1906. Birmingham; 19*7.
Atlanta; 1908, Nashville; 1909, Atlanta;
1910-1911, New Orleans; 1912. Birmingham;
1913, Atlanta.
In addition to the various qhanges in
managers, the personnel of the teams i.i i
i/h^ctically all cases will show several new
playeis. The league officials believe the
contest for the pennant will be close
throughout. l/ast year's pennant race \
aroused much interest by its closeness, 1
and it was not decided until the day the :
season closed.
Selma, April 11*.—-{Special.)—Capt. Artie 1
Riggs, w'ho will assemble the baseball
club that will represent Selma in the
Georgia-Alabama league during the com- 1
ing season, has readied Selma, and has 1
started on his work of assembling the(

who will try for position on the club will '
also reach Selma during the week, and 1
by next Saturday it is expected there will 1
be about 30 men here. The schedule com- ^
mittee of the Georgia-Alabama league ‘
will meet during the coming week when i
the schedule for the season will be adopt- l
ed, hut until this committee convenes and ]
tile schedule Is adopted it is not known

Captain Riggs during the coming season 1
will act as road secretary and treasurer i
for the Selma Baseball association. A <
manager for the dub will be selected j
from among the players Just before the
opening of the season* Captain Riggs has
promised to put a first division club in 1
Selma, and baseball followers are high- j
ly pleased over the prospects of a good i
olub here. 1
On ills way to Selma, Mr. Riggs stopped
for several days in Memphis, where lie 1
hud several conferences with Manager i
Mique Finn of the Turtles. He arranged i
with Manager Finn for two of the mosi ,
promising recruits of that dub who wil

PLA^ S FOR BRITISH
GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP
CAUSING DISCONTENT
New York, April 12.—Golfers are not
aklng kindly to the arrangements for the
•laying of the British open championship
it Pnastwick in June, at which several
American players are expected to com
•ete. It Is not the foreign entrants, but
he home professionals, however, who are
>rotesting against the long drawn out
ichedule which requires two weeks of
•ractice and play to complete. There
appears to be reasonable grounds for
hese complaints as outlined by English
•rofessionals, for, as they point out, to
ompete in the tournament will require
i lengthy absence from their clubs at a
►usy season of the year, as well as a
leavy expense account.
According to present plan the qualifying
ounds will be played on courses other
han the championship course and practice
Lays have been allotted for both qualify
ng and championship courses.
An English professional, writing on the
ituatlon, said: “The expense entailed for
i 14-days* stay at the ‘open* Is one that
am not prepared to go Into, but It must
>e remembered that our professional Is
lot altogether too flourishing at present,

STARTSTHiS WEEK
Chicago, April 12.—The race for the
baseball championship of the "big nine"
will begin this week, Illinois meeting
Northwestern and Ohio playing Indiana.
Tlie Illinois, with a week’s sojourn in
the south, have attafnea a form which
is likely to make them dangerous.
Northwestern apparently has developed
slowly but this week will have the ben
efit of a practice daily with the Green
Bay team of the Wisconsin-Illinois
league.
Indiana and Ohio are unknown quan
tities. The game next Saturday be
tween the two at Columbus will be the
first on which calculations can be made.
Ancient diamond foes will meet tomor
iow when Michigan and Notre Dame
clash on the latter’s grounds.
Eight of last year's team will be in
tho Purdue squad. Purdue will get a
good try-out In their games with De
pauw and Rose Polytechnic this week.
SPORT SQUIBS
Dean McClonahan, chairman of the fac
ulty board of athletic control at Princeton
believes that the recent gift of the Palmer
stadium paves the way for a complete
and modern athletic and sport equipment
at the New Jersey university. He said
in discussing the outlook:
“One of the most gratifying features of
the splendid gift is the fact that it is to
be used to obtain an increase of the rev
enues of the university. This increase
will be in the form of a rental to he
paid by the athletic association to the
university.
“The additional revenue from games
will in time permit the athletic associa
tion to increuse its athletic equipment in
the form of a baseball grandstand, a
greatly needed baseball,cage, hockey ring
and so on, unless some otli^r generous
alumnus or friend meets these needs be
fore the athletic association can do so
itself. It is hoped also that In. time the
stadium will permit us to lower the price
of admission for undergraduates to all of
our athletic events."

with men on bases, drop tlie ball, either
by intent or accidently, while in the act
of delivering the ball to the batter or
In throwing to first base. Umpires were
instructed to enforce strictly the new
rule preventing a coacher at third base
from touching a base runner. A runner
trying for or rounding that base, who,
eifher through accident or design, comes
in contact with the • coacher, will be
declared out.

"Owing to Mrs. Tenor’s illness I will
be unable to go to New York at this
time. Express my regrets to the gen
tlemen who will officiate at our games

You Are an Individual
With Your Own Individuality
THE average mail is supposed to have so
many dollars, is supposed to live so
many years and days—and so on ad infin- I
itum. '
—But YOU have YOUR OWN individual- I
ity, and when it comes to clothes cut by
machinery in dozen lots to an “average”
pattern, YTOU can’t be fitted.
—Select an exclusive pattern from
Slaughters’ imported fabrics and have our
skilled cutters design a suit to fit YOU—
and please YOU. We sew the fit and the
style IN—and it stays.
