FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1909. THE CALUMET NEWS. Sporting YfTERAN BASEBALL FANS v DESCRIBE INSIDE TRICKS Infleldcrt Might Stop Ty Cobb on Som of His Daring Plays if They Studied His Stylo Case Runners Try Many Stunts Which Might be Dangerous for Them. Traveling men are almost Invariably .-.! nt lms. hall Tan, an.l most of the-ni Hose students of Inside tricks whu.li distinguish experienced players frniii tin' amateur. Such n bunch or fiinw recently gathered In th lobby of I he Arlington hotel anil during their discussion e-xchange-d Ideas gleaned ,,,,,,, ti,. ir study of tho great American Kaino mm played on the village corner lot. and the densely ' crowded major league baseball llelds. 'It's strange," Ha Id a votr-'.in knight of the grip, "that Cobb Is allowed to P t away with that duy of going from lirst to third on nn Infleld out. I've watched him closely for u year or more and I find that 0Y1 the hit-nnd- ' ... .i 1 ...Itln,, .....1 lull. Willi UliiW coouni""' ...... ,,niv one man out, ho will Invariably make one try for third. V..W. if the Infh-ldora playing against Cobb were wise, they could Iiim nine time out of ten on thut .lay. How? Simply by making bluff to throw to tlrsf base and then holding tlie ball until Cobb was on hi uny to third, lie could bo cut down ii, :nie evorv time: but tho Inllelihrs ,lii'l think tlmt far. They have the j , 1 . n (irmly In their minds that the first ,,,m ihev must net Is the fellow who hits the ball, and so Cobb pulls oft that inst-to-thlrd stunt right along." "Another play that could bo worked with sonic ileureo of regularity with w l,i-awake infieldors," chimed In an mil) r 'w is.- one, '"Is thut of holding the lull on an Infield tap on which : man goes from second to third. In variably the runner will turn third and run 15 or 20 feet beyond the has while the throw Is bring made to first, in the hope of a slight mlseue at the initial sack allowing him to go home, Now what's to prevent tho Inflelder making a bluff to throw and then sliiM.tinir the ball to third Just as tho runner crosses that bag? It could bo done easily, but since Tom Corcoran worked It with tho Cincinnati Iteds some eight or ton years ago, I tlon't believe It's been tried In high society." KETCHEL TELLS JEFF HOW TO FIGHT JOHNSON "U Jeffries wll play for Johnson's luad all the time when they meet and in vi r mind his stomach, he will get t!i black' 'man sura as fate, ys Stanley Ketchel. . ' Kelchel thinks tho blow which knocked Johnson down in tho twelfth rmmd of their fight Saturday really hurt tho black. Most of tho specta tors thought Johnson merely faked tho knockdown t make the moving pic tuns better but Johnson himself tul inlts that tho blow hurt. It Is pointed out that Ketchel landed only one hard blow on Johnson's jaw and that one, while not nearly so hard as Ketchel is rapable of delivering, put the negro to tho Hour. Ile-cause of criticisms of the match when it was first made to tho effect that It was manifestly unfair to pit the gigantic negro against so small an opMnont, It Is said that Kctchel's weight was given out at 176, when as a matter of fact he did not scale more than ICS, according to the Information recently given out find that Jotinson Mclghcil more than 205 pounds, which gave him an Immense, If not Insur mountable, advantage.

American league pitchers broke their own record for spilling whitewash this season, there being 145 games In which ne team was shut out, including one In which both teams failed to register run. Tho high water mark for shut out games in the young league prev ious to this year was 135, but the Na tlonnl lenmirt holds the major record with 103 blanks made last season. Of these runlcss victories In the young league forty were won by scores of 1 to 0, and this number Is one more than the similar battles of last season. tr!!rlt 1 tn 4 hnttlcs havo lasted Into extra Innings this year. Tho Athletics had a run on theso low- score battles during May, and won three of them In succession, one of them from St. Ixmls and the other two from tb Whlto Sox. The two 1 to 0 gnmes won from tho Sox went thirteen nnl ttvolvn Innlncs resiHctively. on successive days, May 16 and 17. Tho White Sox have handed shutouts to their opponents twenty-five times this year, and have suffered that ig nominy only eighteen times In return. The Chicago hurlers who havo wielded tho whitewash brush are: Walsh, R times; Smith, 7; White, Scott and Hums, 3 times each, and Sutor once.

Michigan has the mo-t likely lot of materia! this year that Yost his had to work with since the 1U05 t( am. True, much of tho material Is' green, and to that fact Is due the fumbling so apparent in the first games; but the men are develop ing rapidly, and as mon us some of the star finds of tho season. Iiv.lo;i. Wol's, Horlesko, l'atteiiglll and Uogern, he- gin to know what to do at tho rigiii time, Michigan's opponent;! are g'iirx to have considerable difl'.eulty in stop ping them. Coach Yost and H il-b n have spent nearly the entire week trying to rem edy the faults that wore most glaring In the first games. Some of the de fects, such as fumbling, were duo to the nervousness incident to playing their first 'varsity gamewhich was the case with nearly the entire lino and half of the backll. Id. Tho makeup of the 'varsity has un dergone two radical changes since the opening game. Kreoney 1ms again, re gained the g 1 will of the faculty and has been placed at left half, where he will remain during tho entire season. barring an unexpected reversal r form; and I'attenglll has been used at Wasmund's jolt jit quartet back. The first change is of course pernvwient. I'reoney be'mg easily the best backlield player Michigan has had In years. there. He was one of Yost's stars last year. Archie- llahn. the groat sprinter, who spent most of his tinm In Milwaukee', was se-c.ured for the Michigan school by a Milwaukee man and was always looked upon as a Mil waukee boy. In this way Milwaukee has achieved quite a reputation as the home of athletes up In Michigan. Tho school officials nr! anxious to bring their vmi to that city to award tho faithful Milwaukee alumni with a big game and a chance to see the elev en of their alma mate r In action. Yost Is anxious to make a good show ing and will Inrtruct the man w ho calls tho signals to use all the plays which ho has given them. He has been put ting the team through some hard practice and tlu-y will bo in good shape? Saturday. Holy Cross Day.

V?& - ef' e"w! I U A "THE GENTLEMAN FROM r. f - I Sr" V?fe ! .'i Im MISSISSIPPI" TER SOON. .' ) ';:' - 5-. V I COACH YOST AT LEFT AND Fast, aggressive and well able to pick holes in an ope n 1'n ld. he is the most dangerous man on the Michigan team in returning punts or gating away f r end runs, while ,Jiis defensive play stands out nearly as promlin ntly. In cidentally, he Is fully as good a kicker as Captain Allerdice. and may bo el le gated the task of doing tho booting Tor tli'.' 'varsity. The permanency of th - change In tho quarUTbnek role Is less certain. Was tnuml has held down the Job' for two years, and while only a fair defensive player, be Is aggressive and handles tin- palyers well. However, In the opening giuoo of the season, ho was guilty of several costly errors of Judg ment, spoiling what looked like good chances to score. This week I'atten glll has been used nt y aiterback In the daily srrl mma go and also In the mid-week tussle-, between the 'varsity and the n serves. Wheth.-r the change Is of any significance or not, Coach Yost re-fuses to say. Wasmiiud is in eligible for the Minnesota game bo cause of tho fact that Michigan will play under confer no-1 rub s that day, and of course It Is imperative that a quarterback bo dev loj d before that time. Accordingly. It !. possible that Wasmuml ,vi bo given, 1ki brunt of the work until ait t t'.e iVnn game, leaving J'uttcngill . .for th , game at Minnesota.! Gome Anims'r. In Winter.

St. Nicholas. AT THE CALUMET THEA- ' Lord Kitchener, Appointed High Com - mijsionr and Commandar-in-Chief of English Forces in Mediterranean. London, Oct. 22. It may bo nald without fear of contradiction that Lord Kitchener, the latest Liritish field mar shal. Is tho most discussed of Kngiisti soldiers. When H was announced that the Duke of Connaught. fee lin:: his po sition as commanibr-iii-chiif in the Mediterranean te bo a sinecure, had re signed, the rumor spread that Lord Kitchener was to take his royal high ne ss' place. Fur oik o. rumor did not lie, although it Is evide ntly true that elaties Lord Kitchener will bo called upon to perform will be more onerous than those asked of his royal pivileees sor. The period of Lord Kitchener' command in India, was very fruitful. Kememberliig this, it is, perhaps inter esting to quede Lord Hose-berry on the now. de-Id marshal. Iord Kilcln n'T had just geuio to India when Lord ltoseberry, referring to the war ofPoe. gave- It as his belief that It would take a HciAuhs to clean out that Augean stable- "but they have se nt Hercules to tho Himalayas." There are those who would like to see the new field marshal viceroy of India; but it may be thought imrtnlitie to i.Iaoe a military man in such a position. INDOOR BALL AT ARMORY. Permission Is be ing sought by the members of Co. A, engineers, to play occasional games of Indoor baseball at the Calumet Light (luard armory, and it Is expected that tho consent of the necessary authorities will be forth coming. The absence of halls, where Indoor baseball may bo played in Cal umet Is a notable one, and because of this fact the great game suffers during the winter months. Most of the resi dents of Calumet reme-mbe-r the spirit ed contests which are played at the old armory, and the line teams which represented the Houghton and Calumet militia companies at that time. Tiny Impo that the armory mav bo secured for indoor baseball. It would prove' an ideal place for the games, from tho standpoint of tho spectators and the players, and if prope rly conducted would do no Injury to the Surldlng. To-day and To-morrow. Happy men are full of the present, for its bounty stifllces thorn: and wise nun also, for its duties engage them.
