The players living In the west -will
assemble at St. Louis, and it is ex
pected that most of the veterans will
be ordered out with the very first del

New York. Jack Murray and George
Burns are about the only regulars who
reside in this part of the country just
now, but there are a number of re
cruits. Then there are several youngsters
living in the south, who will probably
report at St. Louis. They include Davy
Robertson, the slugger of the Southern
league, who is expected to take his
place as a regular in the Giant out
field at once.
There will be five catchers In the
first training party, unless one or more
are released before February 15. They
are Meyers, Wilson, Hartley, McLean
and Elmer Johnson, the latter a recruit
from Cuba. Long Larry McLean Is
about to leap out in vaudeville, but he
will surely be a member of the first
bunch. It Is quite unlikely that Mc
Graw will carry all those catchers very
long, and, while he finished with four

to three this season.

In New Orleans three days next spring,
thus resuming relations with the fam
ous Southern city that were shattered
st-me years ago. Last spring, when
the Giants were coming up from the
south, headed for Mobile, the New
Orleans club found Itself with an open
date on the exhibition schedule, and
offered It to McGraw.
On account of the trouble they had
there when they started to play the
Athletics a spring series, the Giants
were supposed to be in very foreign
with the fans of New Orleans, but
they drew well in spite of bad
weather, and then McGraw decided to
make as long a stand as possible there
in 1914. New Orleans will take the
place on the Giant schedule formerly
held by Mobile, where they used to
spend several days. Mobile took the
place of Atlanta.

The Giants will again nlav at Mo

there. Mike Finn, former scout, and
farm agent of the Giants, has gone to
Memphis, and McGraw would like to
get a date there. Harry McCormlck,
late pinch hitter, and now manager
at Chattanooga, is after the Giant
date usually assigned to Birmingham.
This has always been the most In
convenient stop the club makes, but
one of the best paying. Harry will
have to show John Foster something
to get that date.
Last season both the first and sec
ond Giant teams more than paid ex
penses on their trip north, which is
believed to establish a record in base

Billy Evans' Baseball Problems
Written Especially for This Paper by the Famous
American League Umpire.
SEVERAL years ago a very interesting play, which
created considerable discussion, came up in the In
ternational league. Plays which create argument
and discussion are always unnatural plays, and this one
was no exception to the rule. The contending clubs
were two of the leaders in the race, and, since the result
of the play determined the winner of the game, the con
test went to protest. i
In the ninth inning, with, .the home team a run be
hind, things started to happen. With two out, the
home team managed to get men on first and third. A
hit would at least tie the score. The batter responded
with a safe drive $o left, on which the man on tbird
jogged home. The runner on first went to third on the
hit, while the batter managed to reach second on the
throwin. In going from first to third, the runner originally on first had ne
glected to touch second. The umpire had noted the omission, and so had the
shortstop of the team in the field. The latter called for the ball and touched
second, the umpire thereupon calling the man out who appeared safe at third.
This out retired the side.
The umpire allowed the run to score, which tied up the game, and the
home team managed to win out in extra innings. If you had been umpiring
Oat contest gentle reader, would you have allowed that run to score from
third on the dean hit to left by the batter?

Answer to Yesterday's Problem.
THE run couate. Tie play was discussed at the same meeting of um
pires that took Mp the Ainsmith play. It was unanimously agreed
that no matter where the runner was at the time of the third out, he
was entitled to score. It was contended that, with the bases full and the
batter receiving a base oh balls, all runners must advance, which would send
the man from third home and score the tally.
The base on balls gave the man from second no rht to overrun third
base, bat his third out, eien though it was madt before the run was over the
ptate. had no bearing on the score. That run was forced over pure and simple.

AMATEUR GOLF CHAMPION
WILL COMPETE IN ENGLAND
Boston, Mass., Dec 17. Francis Qui
ment, the American amateur golf cham
pion, of Brookline, who made such a
sensation in the golfing world last
summer, by defeating the English pro
fessionals, Harry Vardon and Edward
Ray, will compete next summer "in the
British amateur championship tourna

one more effort to show the
fight fans that he can deliver the
goods. The Michigan bearcat is
matched to meet Charlie White, of
Chicago, before the National Athletic
club, of Milwaukee, Dec 19, over tfie
16 round route, at 133 pounds and if
he can defeat the windy city lad and
convince the fans that he is right for
a big match he will go after Willie
Ritchie again. In his match in Mil
waukee with "Battling" Nelson, the
Michigan exchampion showed that he
could hit as well as ever, but he tired
toward the end and he found that the
Hedgewisch mayor was still tough
even though his hands were battered
to pieces.
White has been doing exceptional
work of late, his one drawback being
with Johnny Dundee at New Orleans,
but it was merely one of those no
decision arguments and soon forgotten.
On form Wolgast should have it on
White, but from the improvement
shown by the Chicago lad of late I
look for him to give Ad the hardest
kind of a fight. Unless Ad can land
some of those famous left hand hooks
he is liable to find himself outpointed
at the end of 10 rounds of milling.
A vlstory for White over Wolgast
would mean much to the Chicago 'boy.
It would bring him into the big money,
as matches with Leach Cross, Joe
Rivers and such boys would be in order
and it is a pretty good bet that Johnny
. ANDREWS.
KJlbane, the featherweight champlo'n,
would be willing to match up with him
at the lightweight limit. White and
Kilbaae would make a good match and
would attraet a lot of attention. Johnny
finds that he cannot get Into the big
coin with the present flock of feather
weights and he is willing to take a
chance at a little heavier game.
The quick defeat of Bombardier
Wells, the British heavyweight cham
pion, by Georges Carpentier, the French
title holder, in London, puts an end to
the championship aspirations of the
Englishman, for no dub over there will
want to take another chance with hint.
"Wells has been a peculiar fighter. He
has shown remarkable cleverness in
some of his battles and great hitting
power, but his weakness about the
midsection became known to all the
fighters and that was one mark they
played for until they could get his
guard down so as to leave an opening
for a hard smash to the vital point.
Wells had everything in the line of
cleverness for a boxer, but he lacked
the strength and stamina for a cham
pionship fighter.

"H
BY Britton, since when did you
begin fighting heavy
weights?" The above ques
tion an many other of a similar nature,
are blamed for the poor work of Packey
McFarland, in the Britton fight at Mil
waukee recently. Battling Nelson, an
cient enemy of McFarland, who was at
the ringside, hurled the taunts at the
Windy City welterweight. McFarland
has been dubbed the title of "beauty

the ring without a mark.

Chance of the Yankees always insists
on berth "13" when he travels, Charlie
White, the Chicago boxer, reconsidered
his determination to call off his pro
posed fight with Ad Wolgast, at Mil
waukee, December 19. White, on look
ing over his records, discovered that It
would be his 13th fight of 1913.
Aimed at champion Willie Ritchie,
Packey McFarland, Britton, Welsh and
Eddie Murphy, a number of notable 133
pounders, are getting up a union to
force Willie Ritchie to defend his
crown at the legitimate lightweight
