OlAlNlJAKD HIGH TRIBUTE TO HANS IS PAID BY VETERAN WAGNER SPORTSMAN MANY A GOOD BOUT IS SPOILED BY FUSSINESS OF THE REFEREE than the Pennsylvania ironworker.

Wagner is the idol of the fans, honored in his home town, really an uncrowned king. Many a less clever workman has been ruined by praise and glorieti in the flash of the limelights. We have seen other great ball players who went bad at times, were subject to accidents, were ambitious to change their social standing, at times tried to undermine their managers and led the younger players away from true discipline. We have seen great players jumping contracts, criticising their fellow players, figuring that everything that came their way was on the level. Yes, and we Have known some grand gooi fellows that were fine ball players, but there never has been a man as Boston, April 13.

As a consistent performer on the professional ball field Hans Wagner of the Pittsburg club stands out above all other ball players, writes Tim Murname. For 14 years he has been a phenomenal ball player in fielding, hitting, base and working for the success of his team. Always full of enthusiasm and ever ready to hit the ground to reach a base, never for a moment letting up, twist- ing his body, out of shape to gather in grounders, and willing to take throws from the catchers, with never a thought of saving himself, no man ever put his soul into the game with more pleasure By WALTER C. KELLY. Cleveland, April 13.

Well, gentlemen, while we are on the matter of referees, and their various styles of working- in the ring, I have one point that I desire to call your attention to, for I have been asked about it repeatedly," said Bug Slattery. "The question is, has a referee the right to coach boxers in tlw ring, pointing out openings to them and continually urging them on? Now, for my part, I declare emphatically that all such doings on the part of a referee are not only unfair, but contrary to all rules and precedent. The idea of a referee tellifig one fighter or another when to strike is ridiculous, and for the NEW CHAMPION COMES OF ATHLETIC FAMILY Chicago, April 6. The one most interesting place for all ball players In is the big bat factory, which Is said to be the largest establishment -Of Its kind in the country and where nearly all of the bats usei by professional players are made. When a ball team visits Louisville every player visits the factory and buys all the way from a single bat to a couple of dozen of them, and there is no player of prominence in either big league who has not his own model ready and waiting for him when he comes.

No one can realize howbig a business the bat-making industry is until he takes a stroll through the big establishment and watch all the men at work. About 100 men are kept busy all the year round making these sticks, which retail all the way from the 10-cent price paid for boys' bats to the $2 paid for some of the big leaguers' clubs. Something like 8,000 tiozen bats of all grades and sizes are turned out by this factory every day, says the Journal. This means 2,496,000 dozen bats in a year. Thirty-Five Year Old.

The business was started 35 years ago and has grown with the game until it is now one of the big industries of the city. The busy season for the bat-makers is in the winter, of course, for they have to have their product on the market before the spring season opens, when the ball players begin their summer's work. The wood used for the manufacture of the best bat is second growth ash put in the forests of the near-by counties of Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. Great care is exerlcsed in the selection of this stock, for only the best grained wood is put into the big leaguers' club. The least flaw In the grain or a Ingle little worm hole makes the bat "worthless for the ball player.

An in-ported wood from Cuba is being used quite a little at the present time and is is called the "majagua wood." The bats made from this wood are a little heavier in weight than the ash sticks and it is a little tougher, and, as a general thing, lasts a little longer. The price is also a little steeper. For this reason many of the players want tbe Cuban wood, for they are like a lot of other people In the World. They C3 money is better. Six Bits Extra.

The majagua bats cost J2 each, but me ciuD owners ouject very eirenuous-ly to many of these sticks being purchased by the ordinary ball players. Only tfte stars get away with it as a general thing. The price of the ordinary- ash stick is $1.25. In the course of a season the costs of sticks for a ball club is quite an item, so the $2 club will never be really popular with the magnates. It takes only a few minutes to turn out the model according to th player's direction.

The players are as fussy about their bats as a woman is over her spring bonnet. The least little difference tn size is noticed at onoe and a fraction of an ounce difference In weight Is enough reason to throw out good stick. The expert bat maker who handles all of the -work for the players calling at the factory knows his business to a nicety and every little whim of the 5 layer is humored. He takes the measurements of the model and works with scales in front of him so that he can jtaJce care not to vary In the weight of the stick. PARI-MUTUEL BETTING ONE HOPE OF RACING San "Francisco, April 13.

When George Horine of Stanford, in competition, in the running high jump, led over the bars at 6 feet 6 inches, breaking the old and setting a new, world's record to his name as an ath-lcto that will go down into history an! stamp him as the greatest high jumper that the world has ever known. The performance, without doubt, has made certain Horine's chances for a place on the American team for the Olympic, games at. Stockholm. Tho record smashed by Horine ha been the buttress of high jumpers' attacks for nearly 17 years. "On Sept.

21, 1895, at Manhattan" field -in -New York, M. F. Sweeney, a member of the New York Athletic club, established a record of 6 feet 5 inches in a dual meet with the London Athletic club of England. The international meet was won by the New York club, and since that time Sweeney's jump has been considered one of the most remarkable athletic feats ever performed. That it was remarkable has been amply proved by the very fact that it has etood all tests for 17 years, and there is every possibility of Horine's mark standing many years longer.

Never has there been such high jumping as Horine has done, both this season and last year, and, in fact, them 4o step along, but when two good boys are tryin their best, nguring for every blow and to win, though at the same time guarding against return blows, they should not be I would like to have seen some referee interfere with a fighter of Tom O'Rourke's or Parson Davie's, or Sam Fitzpatrick's when they were in the game. These men were real seconds, and they could not be bluffed. Half the chaps who act in this capacity today appear to lack the moral courage to stand up for their rights if they know them at all. "A fighter may keep on hitting as long as his hands are free, no matter how close they may be together. If one fellow is holding on, the other may keep on hitting, and the chap who holds should be cautioned.

The only difference in clean breaks and straight rules is that in clean breaks, when the men are ordered to break, they must get back without hiting. "Some referees do not take the pains to stu'dy the rules, but go in and take chances, interpreting the rules in their own way. They begin to holler 'break away' before the boys are clinched, and as a result they prevent what would be the best part of the contest the infighting or mixing at close range. Now, by that I don't mean that a. boy-should "be permitted to hold with one hand and hit with the other.

That is not allowed and should not be tolerated. A fellow is frequently seen holding with ime hand and bringing down the other with a whack over the kidneys. It is a foul blow and should be stepped. "I have seen George Siler, the late 'prince of work many a time and he never interfered with, the bnys more than to give his orders quietly, and he was obeye'J. The same is true of Charley White when he was at his best, Johnny Eckhart, MalachfHogan and other men of recognized standing and ability as third man in the ring.

These referees knew the game in every detail, and they handled a contest in a manner that pjeascd, instead of boring the spectators. It is an undeniable fact that an overbearing, bulldozing referee can spoil an evening's sport for the men who paid their good money for the privilege of enjoying it. And the queerest thing of ail is that some of these persons, who are apparently men of intelligence otherwise, fall to see that they are making themselves obnoxious by their bull-headed blindness and conceited refusal to accept suggestions made by both fighters, managers and newspaper critics." LIVING UP TO TRADITION tCopyrlsht: 1912: By John T. McCutcheon.J youse causod poor 9 1 1 "Was she sick "Sir?" "How long was life of me I don't, understand why any fighter should stand for it. "Every fighter who enters the rins has his rights and he should know them.

A man who assumes to act as a second for a fighter should be fully versed In the rules, and he should also, know his rights, and knowing th rights of his protege, he should see that they are not interfered with by the referee! or any other man. "It is all right to say that the referee is boss, but thB.t does not necessitate a boxer permitting himself to 'be abused in any particular. A good second would pull his man out or the ring independent of consequences if he was being imposed upon unreasonably and persistently. It is all right if a referee sees one or both boxers loafing to urge paid $20 eacli a day, while the 'catering privileges were worth something too, "The trouble with W. G.

Yanke was due to the fact that he not only owned the strongest stable and was a heavy bettor, but he' also had an interest in three books. Judge, Price, Jack Follans-bee and myself, as stewards, did not charge Yanke with dishonorable methods, but we did" not relish his extensive operations in the poolroom. We told him that lie must either give up the hooks or sell his stable, and as he refused to do either, we askod him to operate elsewhere "We ruled olt Jockeys Wulsh and Howard because we had proof of their connection with a syndicate formed in this city to beat the poolrooiiis. We received our information from agents here, and It wasn't long before we got the goods on the riders. This action served to clean up the sport at Juarez, where, it must be remembered, we had to deal with inexperienced jockeys, the poorest quality of horses and numerous sharpshooters, who at first believed they could do as they pleased.

"It was an odd fact that during all the riot and disorder in Juarez the race track was not molested. The federals and rebels In turn came out to see the horses run and also made their bets like gentlemen. We had more Mexican patrons, by the way, than in former years. There will be a new hotel in El Paso next winter and we hope eastern racing men will pay us a visit. "Me brudder said to eive ut to "Ah, this is very sad.

What grandmother's untimely simple, as true, as great for such a length of time, ever at his and evidently in just as good condition today as ever, as Wagner. What an asset to a ball club. I have seen him daily at Hot Springs at the1 same hotel, the first man in uniform, morning and afternoon, when ordered out for practice, and the last to stop throwing the ball around. Taking all kinds of chances in the field and on the bases, even in practice. Men usualy meet with accidents when trying to let up, especially while running the bases, and seldom meet with Injuries when going through with their slide.

A man should practice as he plays the most important games. Aggressive, but never offensive, Wagner holds the respect of the umpires and his fellow players, not to speak of millions of fans. In his makeup Hans Wagner sticks to the old school, simple and comfortable. When the weather is fine and the team must be out for morning practice Wagner is up with the lark, and, with a companion or two. Is off to some fishing or hunting grounds at sunrise.

One day this week Manager Clarke declared all work off for the day, as there was a light rain and the grounds In poor condition. A small army of ball players sat around the hotel disgusted with the conditions, but Wagner and Miller were missing. They had left early In the morning and returned just before supper with bags full of game. They had gone 12 miles into the country, and Wagner modestly remarked: "The finest shooting you ever saw, boys; we had a great day." Wagner loves the woods and the streams, really a child of nature, and temperate in all his habits. He takes his automobile around the National league circuit and spends a great deal of time roaming about the suburbs of large cities, All this accounts for his physical condition.

Baseball is a sport with Wagner, and, being a ture sportsman, the Pittsburg club has a remarkable asset In this modest German, and the American fans will continue to enjoy the phenomenal stunts of a wonderful performer. WARMING IjP. Miller Huggins tells a story of a recruit pitcher in Cincinnati who' asked the manager for a chance to show what he could do. "All right, go out there in the field and warm up," said the manager. Half an hour or so later the manager had to jerk the twirler from the box and send a hurry call for the recruit.

"Well, are you warmed up enough ta go in and finish the game?" he was asked. "Sure," replied Mr. Recruit. 'Tv-i been sitting in the sun ever since you 1 sent me out there." HE OUGHT TO KJfOW. Hank O'Day has Instructed his players not to kick on the umpire's decisions, for It never gets them anything, according to the veteran arbitrator.

VIRGINIA NOTED MEN of the Ashbys of the Valley of Virginia, and also of Turner Ashby, the Murat of the southern cavalry. Proud am I to meet you and so are these distinguished gentlemen." I know the Virginians and I know them well. My residence in Washington taught me to know their hospitality, and the traditions of. that they never allow to be questioned, and they would rather have a hand cut off before they would tell you to leave their soil. As a class of people they are social kings.

The humorous side of this unsophisticated country sheriff in trying to stop the game, presented itself, and I could not but take ad-vantage of it. The introduction went on from man to man, one man so and so from so and so, another man that was introduced was supposed to be Senator Morgan from Alabama, the next-was a senator from Ohio, until finally we picked a man who slightly resembled Joe Blackburn from Old Kentucky, the latter man played Blackburn to a dot. First the Fairfax county sheriff had to take a snack of old bourbon from old Kentucky, and Joe took from his hip pocket a flask of old rye, and remarked: "Let old Virginia and Kentucky drink together." And Sheriff Ashby took a good swallow. The game was going on and the audience was cheering at all good plays. Funny story after funny story was told to the sheriff between and why should he leave this distinguished company that he was In? So he laughed so much that he jarred all the crumbs of the pumpkin pie out of his beard.

Trie game was nearly over when the sheriff said: "Well, gentlemen, I will not hunt up Manager Sullivan, but 1 reckon I will let the game go on since you all desire it, and if the governor of Virginia himself were here and desired to stop it, I would not." As the last inning of the game closed, tho chivalrous Ashby took one more drink of Joe Blackburn's Kentucky whiskey, and bidding us all good-bye thanking us for the honor conferred upon him and happy In the thought that he had spent the afternoon with the distinguished; men of the nation, left for home. But you can bet your life that we never attempted to play any mora Sundays over in "Old Virginia." WHEN MIQUE DONLIN WAS ACTING MANAGER ever since he has been at Stanford. Born at Escondido San Diego county, Feb. 3. 1890.

Horine has inherited all the traits and loving for athletics that conlie naturally to him from a line of ancestors who always were classed as the best in their lines on the athletic field. While George Horine Is a high Jumper, his relatives confined themselves for the most part to broad jumping. If athletic instinct and athletic superiority is hereditary, George Horine has inherited moretfian his share. -On- his- molV's side the Stanford lad inherits most of his athletic ability. His great grandfather, Isia Webb, was -a example of formed' and symmetrical athletes of the early days In 1830.

Isia made good In the broad jump and his son, Horine's grandfather, followed in his footsteps and also was a wonderful "long jumper," as the broad was called in those days. The jumping trait followed the family and Elmer F. Webb, a brother of Mrs. Ella Horine, mother of the present world's champion, established a mark of 21 feet 2 inches at Plymouth, which for those days was a wonderful performance, and even today it takes a good man to get over 21 feet. Those feats go to show where Horine gets his but it will be noticed that not one of his kin went in for the high Jump, all confining their attention to broad jumps, excepting his father, who in his youth gained considerable reputation as a sprinter.

TWO HUGE NAPS. Paddy Livingston and Larry Lajoie both tip the beam at 195 in playing condition. There is a big difference In fhe height of these two men, for Lajoie is several inches taller than Paddy, but he is- not much livelier on his feet at that. SHERIFF IN MET SOME Chicago, April 13 In 1890, when Washington lost its league team by the revolt the brotherhood, it entered the Eastern league, with the writer as owner of the club. Wo omi-clpded we would test tha Sunday law in the Old Dominion, writes Ted Sullivan.

The grounds were across the Potomac, near Alexandria and there was an immense crowd from Washington on thisday to see the opening Sunday. The game started, and in the middle of the second inning the county sheriff appeared, and as he was lately elected, he wanted all to know who he was, and wanted to arrest every one connected with the game, from the manager down. First he was looking anxiously for Manager Sullivan; a friend of mine heard about it and posted me. So eight or nine of my friends rehearsed the reception for Mr. Sheriff when he appeared.

As all the details- of the plan were understood, out comes Mr. Sheriff from the crowd, to see mc. Some one in the distance pointed me out, and I was oblivious to what the sheriff wanted. He was excited, and his long, red beard bore crumbs of a pumpkin pie. In his hurry to get to the ball grounds he had failed to utilize a napkin, and the crumbs of the pie were nestling in his long, flowing beard.

Approaches Politely. He approached with the proverbial Virginia politeness and said: "You will pardon me, sir, but are you not Ted Sullivan, manager of the Washington baseball club? I am Sheriff Ashby of Fairfax county, Virginia, and I wish to Inform you that this violation of law and desecrating of the Sabbath will have to be stopped." In the sweetest vtoe possible, I turned and extendedmy hand, saying, "Sheriff Ashby, I am not Mr. Sullivan, manager of this" baseball club, bur I am Senator Tim Sullivan of New York, allow me to introduce you to some of the great members of the house and senate, they wished a little diversion this afternoon and came over here to Old Virginia soil where even the trees bid the stranger wel-Rama. xe you not a blood relative New York, April J. Winn, manager of race tracks at Juarea, Mexico, and Louisville, is at the Waldorf-Astoria.

Mr. Winn made several interesting statements regarding the turf in this country. "Racing in Kentucky has been saved from utter ruin by the pari mutuel system Of betting," he declared. "The Churchill Downs track at Louisville, for instance, has enjoyed greater prosperity than in the days when bookmakers held sway. The attendance has increased, and as the revenue, from the mutue.l machines has exceeded' the original estimate, we have been able to offer more valuable stakes and purses than In former years.

"The mutuel betting has rid the Ken-tuckey turf of many undesirable hangers-on, the cheap touts, shoestring gamblers and the small owners, who always look for favors in the betting ring. This form of speculation has been approved by some of our best citizens, and I believe if the system could" be adopted in New York state, for instance. It would be a. huge success. You cannot make the average person believe that bookmakers do not win all the money.

It isn't true, of course, but it is a fact nevertheless that the bookmaker has become unpopular and his presence In the betting ring has injured racing. The mutuels, on the other hand, guarantee honest racing, because you cannot play a horse to lose under that system. "In spite of the rebellion in Mexico, the recent Juarez meeting netted a profit of $50,000. This was the first money we made since the track was opened three years ago. The track cost and the first meeting was an even break.

We made the mistake of hanging up too much money for stakes the following year and finished $70,000 to the bad. Last winter, though, we cut down expenses and still distributed $200,000 among the successful horse owners. Our attendance averaged about 1,500 dally at $1 a head and we derived a dally revenue of $1,800 from nine bookmakers. Fifteen messengers also up to the ninth inning, it being the only game; up to that time they had a chance of winning and Donlin was feeling mighty pleased until one of the St. Louis players hit a hot liner to Keister, who was playing short for the Orioles.

Keister fielded the ball cleanly, but threw It about 10 feet over Donlin's head (Donlin was then playing first base) and two Browns scored, giving them the game. Donlin, who never had any use for Keister, was like a maniac, and to show Keister how he liked him, wouldn't let him play next day, but put Harry Howell in at short. Howell always was considered some fielder as well as pitcher, and he put up a sensational game, making one-handed stops and wonderful throws. With Baltimore one to the good, Harry heaves one higher than Keister did the day before, and lost the game. Donlin's rage was indescribable and to add to Mik glanced at the Baltimore players' bench, and there was Keister holding his sides with laughter, tickled at seeing, his substitute being the cause of the game being lost.

Chased From Ground. Donlin couldn't restrain and he hot-footed to the Orioles' hut Keister divined his intentions and beat it for the gate with Mike in hot pursuit, being a second too late to atch Keister, who bolted through the exit. Donlin stood at the gate, and shaking his fist at the retreating Keister, yelled: "If you come near the bus I'll knock that tin pan out of your head," (Keister having at one time an operation performed when a piece of his skull' was removed and a silver plate In serted.) Keister never came near the bus after the game, riding alone on the street car, and keeping out of Mike's sight untitlfe had calmed down shortly after. Donlin returned with the team: jumped to the National league, taking McGinty and Jack Dunn and others. Kelley Jumped to Cincinnati, bringing Seymour and Donlin there.

If Pittsburg first base recruits fail to show class Fred Clarke will find that Donlin will come mighty close to filling that gap at the initial corner caused by Clarke getting rid of Kitty Bransfield to please Honus Wagner. fr Cleveland, April 13- Mike Donlin, figured In the baseball trade rwfeereby he was traded by the Boston Nationals to Pittsburg for Vincent pajnpbell, taring's to mind the many escapades of Donlin since his ad-vent jtnto major league ranks. I The first day he joined the St. Louis chib, fresh from the bushes, had a run In with Ms manager, Pat Tebeau; a tew days later in a row with Jess Burkett, be almost broke Burketf jaw, then while with Cincinnati his (trouble with Joe Kelley, then managing Cincinnati, started the three-cor-mered deal whereby Donlin went to York. McCormick, who is now (training with MaGraWs squad at Margin Springs went to Pittsburg, and Pittsburg sent Jimmy Sebring to Cincinnati; this trade was not, as many fans supposed, an even exchange of players, for McGraw paid Cincinnati a large cash bonus for Donlin in addition to letting McCormick go to Pittsburg, as McGraw had Donlin with him while at Baltimore and was for two aeaaons using every metliod to again have the big left-hander with him.

One of the most amusing of Donlin's "3a Ventures occurred while he was with McGraw at Baltimore. McGraw had his so badly that his leg was put in a plaster cast and Wilbur Robinson, who 1 was next in 1 line to take charge of Muggsy's bunch while McGraw was out of fighting condition, was laid up sick in bed, and as the 'Orioles left next day on a 14-day trip, McGraw empowered Donlin with the managerial duties. Hike's Crasy Day. It never feared Donlin one bit, but oh wihat a trip! To begin with, Joe McOlnty, he iron man, didnt' like the umpire's decision on a called ball, and to let him know how much he relished his bad decision, he walked up to the arbitrator, and, to make sure that he coundn't get away from him, put his spiked shoe on umpire's foot and then spit tobacco juice in his face, which almost caused McGinty being expelled for life from organized ball. Then In a gsme at St.

Don-tin's bunch were In the 1 lead one run she sick? A couple of "Yes, sir." "So Jimmy's home with his grandmother now? "No, sir." "Where is he?" "He's waitln' "Sir?" "What did she die of?" "Don't It say in de letter?" "No," Jimmy has not mentioned the disease. Was it.
