the play and he is winning a place with the fans once held by the famous Silk of the American league All umpires have their own peculiar ways of dealing with situations that arise on the diamond There is Bill Klem for instance When the pace gets hot Bill will take off his mask and storm up to the men who doubt the accuracy of his vision and say: "I want to hear another word from none of you guys" Cv Rigler will thunder be about all from you And so it goes But Byron is so different he sings The louder the harangue the softer his song until some one oversteps the bounds Then Bill swings into action with all his might There have been times when he had to fight and he fights even better than he sings Bill just loves the old songs and not even "Its a Long Long Way To Tipperary" could wean him away from "Reuben Reuben Been "In the Shade of the Old Apple and Lang as a medium of expressing his disregard for the dis approval of the ball players and fans He also quotes freely from the masters of letters when his spirit is vexed by the incredulity of the as he calls the players or the shriek ing' of the as he terms the fans Buck Wheat the star left fielder of the Superbas relates one of his little experiences with Byron which is typi cal The Superbas were playing the Cincinnati Reds one day when the mercury was trying to bubble out of the glass The rays of the sun rolled back off the sizzling earth in heat waves that stifled Players fans and umpires were peevish and Wheat es pecially so for he was in a batting slump There was a man on third base and two out with a run needed to tie the score Wheat let a ball whizz WILLIE RITCHIE the crack light weight fractured one of his ribs recently while training in New York in preparation for his return bout with Ted Lewis The injury while not reported as serious will keep Ritchie out of the ring for at least a month and has forced him to cancel his match with Lewis and engagements he had at St Louis and Memphis Ritchie has had a series of acci dents since he entered the professional boxing game He was laid up for several months with an injury before he won the championship and then after he annexed the title he had a deal of trouble with his nose and one of his heels which necessitated post poning his match with Tommy Murphy several times The latest accident may prove more disastrous than the others Inasmuch as indications are that Ritlchle is growing heavy and the layoff will not do him any good If Doyle Hit 320 the Ex ed Star Says Til Hit 490 They Must Go BYRON DIAMOND POET Had Big Afternoons largest afternoons in the whiffing line in 1915 were on May 15 at home and on June 14 at Pittsburgh On the first date he made a dozen of the Cardinals pound atmosphere In a game of regulation length and' on the last mentioned date he compelled the same number of Pirates to miss the third one or have it called on them The combat in the Smoky City lasted eleven rounds In each game Alexan der fanned all three men who faced him In one inning the second being his particularly effective round against the St Louisians and the fourth the spasm wherein he absolutely baffled the Pitts burghers Alexander also fanned three of the Braves in the fourth inning at Philadelphia on April 26 and three of the Cubs in the fifth inning at Phila delphia on July 21 On April 26 at Philadelphia ten of Braves took the strikeout count at the hands and almost a month later on his home reservation Grover Cleveland whiffed nine of the Cubs In only three games in each of which he was in only briefly did Aleck fail to fan somebody National leaguers who most frequently paid tribute to strikeout prow ess last year were Maranville of Bos ton Hichman of Pittsburgh Huggins of St Louis and Robertson of New York Each individual did the Gus Hill act seven times Williams of Chicago Mollwitz of Cincinnati and Baird of Pittsburgh each were breezed six times and five strikeouts were charged against Moran Conoliy 'and Schmidt of Boston Saier Schulte and isher of Chicago Wagner of Pittsburgh and Burns of New York The only noted hitter who refused to swell strikeout total was Wheat of Brook lyn but Zach batted against him only in three contests Maranville of Bos ton Baird and Mamaux of Pittsburgh and Huggins of St Louis each were retired on strikes three times in one game by Alec last season John cores Norris Nygaard and Will iam Hollas Win Titles Big Tournament Manager joe tinker of the cubs says he will have the best infield in the National league this season This probably will be disputed by other leaders in the organization The infielders Tinker has gathered are proficient in both batting and field ing Mike Doolan is the only weak bat ter and yet he is dangerous enough in a pinch to make him valuable with the 1 club Where he is at his best though is between second and third He is al most in a class by himself when it comes to covering ground picking up batted balls and getting them over to first like a flash Baseball players de clare there is not another man in the game not barring Evers Wagner Ma ranville Collins or Bancroft who gets the ball away from him in any position faster than Doolan wonderfully strong self so cleverly for a it to first with the which he handles it impossible to beat out a bounder to him not matter where it is batted One does not have to go into detail to explain how Saier ranks as a fielder at first It is also unnecessary to say much about his batting While not as great as it might have been in the last two years it is predicted he will gain a higher average this year than ever before because it is thought he will be on a pennant winning club As a slug ger of long hits he ranks as one of the best He is a much improved ball plav er because he has learned to take the initiative on the bases knows what to do when up in a pinch and has learned to study a play when the opposition is one ine oiiense Zimmerman has always been a referred to

One that you he was £tslc "Say" he replied "I could take a broom straw and bust those pitchers Any old stick looks good to me And as for those pitchers I could take the bat in my teeth and hit 300 all

ambled along "I can get those drives no matter where hit and when I throw them in I almost take the hands off the fielders They go from first to third en me No A statement of that sort from any other man but Kauff might turn one against him but record Justi fies his confidence in his own ability He has been playing in the north since2 910 and has hit over 300 four timesIn 1510 with Bridgeport he turned in a card of 294 and In 1912 with Hart ford he beat the leather for 321 Kauff did not play the entire season of 1912 with Hartford but worked in twenty nine games with Brockton where he had his worst run or iuck He aver aged a paltry 208 In 1913 however he came into his own and with the Hart ford team hechipped the fences and hit345 With the Indianapolis eds he hit 366 in 1914 and last year

Sundays 10 to 12 Call or write JOSEPH DflGAN person stands in the way of Gibbons and the middle weight championship of the world he is Les Darcy the sensational Austra lian lad Last Tuesday night the St Paul phantom proved his ownership to the American middleweight crown by finishing young Ahearn lorker in the most decisive manner a knockout Ahearn was the best in the east and Gibbons the best in the western part of the United States Ahearn also held the middleweight championship of Europe having won the title over there a few years ago Since his entry into the middleweight ranks the Gotham pugil ist has been a rattling good performer Among victims were Jack Dillon the Indianapolis and Jimmy Clabby the sensational boxer from Hammon Ind both of whom Ahearn defeated in easv fashion in this city The battle with Gibbons was ar ranged as for the middleweight cham pionship of the world but when this title is fought for DarCy must be taken into consideration but Ahearn and Gib bons were free to fight for the Ameri can title with European championship thrown in Several thousand fans witnessed the battle and saw just how far Gibbons outclassed the star of the eastern mid dleweights The crowd had hardly set tled back into their seats after wit nessing several good preliminary bouts before the main contest was over IT required but a minute and a half Gibbons to clinch his claim to the American championship He hung a wicked left hook on jaw and the latter was out for twelve minutes Both fighters were well paid for their short work The receipts were not as great as were expected al though a good sum was taken in The gate receipts totaled $23618 Gibbons received 31 per cent of the gross re ceipts which amounted to $8266 while Ahearn got 31 per cent of the net that is minus with the state tax of 10 per cent deducted The New piece amounted to $6377 Boxing enthusiasts are now specu lating as to how Gibbons and Darcj will go Of course Americans know very little about the Australian onl what reports state but every one ii the United States realizes he must be pretty good to knock out Eddie Mc Goorty twice and outbox Jimmy Clabby in twenty rounds Gibbons announces he will not fight again until Darcy comes to this coun try which the lad from the antipodes is planning to do but it appears very hard for him to accomplish this as the military authorities in Australia refuse to allow him to leave until after the war is over If Darcy get away Mike will undoubtedly be seen in action in a few months as the St Paul phantom likes to fight and care to remain idle for any length of time When the wizard from Minnesota decides to get back into the game he will find plenty of work as there are several eastern middleweights desirous of meeting him Among the foremost to challenge Gib bons is Soldier Bartfield the sturdy Brooklyn lad who claims a newspaper decision over Mike gained several months ago in Brooklyn 5k 5t THE Charlie White menace has bro ken out again in the lightweight division The Chicago knockout wizard started on what he promises to be another string of quick finishes when he stopped Joe Azevedo in Boston last Tuesday night in a minute and a half While Azevedo the great est fighter in the game he is a rattling good youngster and is tough but his jaw strong enough to withstand one of Charlie's famous left hooks when it landed White lately Azevedo Wells in ton and boxing followers his contest with Azevedo White was matched to meet the Englishman in a return bout in Beantown They will clash in another twelve round canter on ebruary 1 5k 5t sjt Benny Leonard the New York star whom Lightweight Champion of the World reddie Welsh re fused to meet will battle the rugged little Mexican lightweight Joe Rivers for ten rounds in New York on ebru ary 4 Welsh was virtually matched to fight Leonard but when the hard hitting New Yorker knocked out Joe Mandot recently Welsh called off all negotiations for the bout Billy Gibson manager if Leonard made many flattering offers to Welsh to fight his protege but the champion flatly refused them all After much dickering Gibsen finally abandoned all plans of matching Leonard with the Englishman for the time being at least and substituted Joe Rivers rpHERE are two sorts of 1 the sort which attracts which repels Benny Kauff be the center fielder of the he comes to terms with the then manages to make the team is an egoist Whether he would attract or repel depends on your disposition But he is an egoist To talk to Kauff or rather to listen to Kauff for you must listen would be most convincing that in the mind of Benny Kauff Benny Kauff is the center of everything and that if nothing else exists he does Not long ago Benny called at the offices of the ederal league and told the baseball writers just what he in tended to do when he joined the New York Giants At that time Benny was still the property of the ederal league but he knew that the Giants w4re bidding for his services He knew too that ho would be the great est ball player who ever joined the National league He admitted that he was the king of all outfielders and the greatest slugger who ever lifted a base ball bat do you think you 11 make the team if you are beught by the Giants?" Mr Kauff was asked The outfielder snorted gurgled and made inarticulate noises Then he recovered his com posure and his vocabulary simul taneously and burst forth in a wild panegyric on Benny Kauff "Will I make that he de manded make them all for get that a guy named Ty Cobb ever pulled on a baseball shoe make them think that baseball never was played until Benny Kauff stepped into the game hit so many balls into the grandstand that the management will have to put screens up in front to protect the fans and save the money that lost balls would cost stand at the home plate and bust them into the center fieJd stands They say that Joe Jackson hit the longest home run ever made on the grounds when he lifted one over the right field stand Ill make and do it so commonplace guys (he paper men have baseball story in keen you busy many a good story over and Byron called the third strike bringing his arm around in that justly celebrated cranking swing Buck howled his protest and Byron began to sing hit a ball with the bat on your using1 the good old air of Reuben Been Raging and disgusted Buck sneered "If you ever lost that right arm have to quit umpiring Lord William clicked his heels together and said with becoming dig nity: "Mr Wheat your powers of ob servation will cost you ten bucks Re tire to the bench or it will be twenty Johnny Evers also has been beaten by Byron The Braves were playing the Chicago Cubs on the West Side parx in unicag hairline decision for second base ron yelled Evers holding his nose and he followed the umpire across the diamond to argue But ar gue Byron He just chanted: a difference of opinion difference of opinion difference of opinion I hav to But Evers had more to say and he said it Byron shifted to Lang and sang sonorously called you out because out out because then his mood He tn ths if you it will cost vou just ten if you go away it: will cost you your pay While mine will go on you These words fit in with the tune of the Shadeof the Old Apple which Bill Evers went to the bench and kept quiet for the rest of the game Darcy Has a Wonderful String of Victories Recently Chicago Jan 29 There are new wrestling champions in three divisions today as the result of Central A A Umatches held last night at the Illinois J'A John Voores of the Greek Olympic A won the honors in the 125 pounddivision Norris Nygaard of the Danish A won in the light heavy welght division and William Hallas University of Chicago won the welter weight competition as fast faculty hold is work to scissors wonder addy Hehlr who refereed the match can see nothing but Stecker if rank Gotch and the young Nebraskan ever come together for the ti tle According to Paddy Stecker has everything He is ideally built long rangy and powerfully formed and one of those youngsters who does not re ally know his real strength What is more he has youth on his side When it Is taken into consideration that Stecker is only 24 years old and com ing in all the time and that Gotch is 37 years of age and slipping Stecker is sure to have everything in his fa vor when these two grapplers come together That Stecker has completely revolu tionized the wrestling game seems an assured fact A look at this youthful grappler would hardly convince one that he is the wonderful wrestler he is He resembles the student more than professional matman Heretofore It was the belief that a wrestler should be one of those hulking masses of humanity with big protruding mus cles that was needed to withstand the wear and tear of tussle on the canvas But this American grappler has dis pelled all these illustions He has com pletely changed the old order of things Stecker has no huge protruding mus cles but has the long supple kind which are not easily knotted and which will accomplish more in the end than all the bulky sinew In his match against Burns Stecker weighed exact ly 208 pounds while Cy tipped the beam at 198 pounds not a great dif ference in weight If we remember rightly when Gotch was in his prime he weighed about 210 pounds and relied chiefly on his cele brated "toe to win the title for him While it is a known fact that the "toe is one of the most deadly in its effect still there is a feeling among wrestling followers that the hold is an unfair one and hence Is being banned by the promoters In case he has one favorite hold the which seems to be his chief stock In trade It is even more deadly than the But in comparing it with that of the Hum boldt farmer there is no question about its being a perfectly fair hold But the best part of the Nebraskan is the fact that he is no exhibition wrestler He is out to get his man from the drop of the hat Although some of the pro moters have been trying to get this young giant to give more of an exhibi tion while in the ring he will not lis ten to them and is out to win as accounts for his many quick victories quickly and as easily as he can This to date 1 1 1 11 1 I ft I 88 7s Znf YTfniiT''
