Mike Gonzales, who is not only a
good catcher but a good judge of
ability in other ball players, individ
ually or on masse, is of the opinion
that the Giants arc more formidable j
Loday than they were a year ago, and
he has a sound .basis for his belief.
"The pitching and catching staffs are
stronger than they were last year. The
i outfield is a trifle better than it was,
for Kauff andBurns hare at least held
their own and Young is getting better
all the time, and the infield' is a
mighty good one. Fletcher is as clev
er as ever at shortstop; Kelly and
Frisch are doing splendidly and Doyle
looks to me to be better than he was
last spring."
"Unless I miss my guesV says Fred
Toney, "George Kelly or the Giants
some day will be about the greatest
hitter the game has over known. 1
don't see any person why he shouldn't
He has a great position at the plate,!
a keen eye and a powerful swing. How
he can soak that old.ball!'
I "V-.H L-. ,,.Urn T.'ll.. r!,..
couldn't hit a curve ball "to save his
life. Now most of his hits are made
off curve balls. The National league
pitchers who used to make this big
boy look foolish with curve balls are
due for a shock this year, mark my
word.
"Another thing he has learned to
do is to hit the first good ball that
comes over. He used to siand up
there and take a couple over the' plate,
with the result that he v.'as always in
a hole. .Now he hits the first one
that looks good and he hits it hard."
A world record for the indoor 1,500
meler run was hung up recently by
Joic Ray. running. as one of the con
testants In the sixth annual games of
the John Wanamaker Commercial In
stitute at Chicago. As there never
has been any record of the time over
this distance on an indoor track, Ray's
record for the world mark stands un
challenged. Ray's time was 3:57. The Chicago
streak never won a race more easily.
He was not even menaced in his icad
and crossed the tape at the finish six
ty yards ahead of Harold Cubill of
the Boston A. A.
Ray's intention -when he started the
race was to break the outdoor mark
of 3 minutes 55 4-5 seconds, made by
A. R, Kiviat in Cambridge, Mass., in
1912. He was at no time extended,
however, and by going the first part of
the distance In littlo more than a can
ter, failed to break the outdoor record.
A majority of the Brooklyn who
staged a spring series with the Yan
kees are of the opinion that Miller
Huggin's outtit will not represent the
American league in the next world
series. Many of the players pick the
team to finish In second or third place,
and. there are a few who think four
rival clubs in the Johnson circuit will
finish in front of them. The plavers
wnrn Yankeo fans not 'to expect" too
much from Babe Ruth. While they
think he will break his own home run
record, they say his batting alone will
not be enough to bring the American
league championship to" New York.

One of tho recent arrivals from Eng
land Is Fred Jacks, one time feather
weight champion. Jacks defeated
Taney Lee. who once defeated Jimmy I
Wilde. Jacks is said lo be a second

Cy Young," said Speaker. And then,
"Oh, boy, if he'd only prove to be an

It's almost too much to hope but old
time fans can remember that it was
just thirty years ago that another

all the wise birds say "History always

For one thing ne served in the major
leagues longer than any other big
league pitcher. Beginning with the
Cleveland Nationals in 1S90 he stuck in

Among his achievements were four
no-hit games. One of these was against
the Atl'iletics on May 4, 1904. He did
not allow a man to reach first. That
same season he hurled 45 straight in

next season, on July 4, he pitched and
lost a 20-inning game against the Mack

finished with a grand average of .620.
He helped win tbroe league-pennants

Fate be with us!
The University of California, rated

jold standby, are both dickering for
j games with the Utah Aggies during
the coming gridiron season. But the

present plans mature one of the b:g
college elevens will be pitted against
the Utah Aggies in what should be
one of the greatest athletic treats in
the history of Ogden, next fall.
I Logan is not large enough to support
'such a game and tbe Logan fans havb
:sent out the S. O. S. asking Ogden
, backers to "atart" the ball rolling. Tht
ball has been .rolling here for soma
time now and unless the live wires
are suddenly declared disabled the ball
will continue to roll. And so it comes
to pass that one of the groatcst grid
iron game's in the history of the staU
may be played here next fall. The
Logan authorities are keeping the
wires hot in an endeavor to stage the
game, and complete details will no
doubt be arranged before the present
month of April bids adieu.
Both schools are rated in the Al
class as gridiron aggregations and eith
er would be able to give the Aggies
the battle of their lives. And on the
other hand, the University of South
