Every Little Movement By TIM KARP Manager Frank, of the New Orleans club, of the Southern association, is one man who thinks that there isn't a man on the Boston team who can keep son Klrke out of the outfield when the season starts in 1912. Frank was in Boston last week to try and get Kirke back to Pelicanland, but was told by President Ward that Manager Kling. in talking over tne prospects of the various youngsters with him. seemed to favor keeping Klrke just where be finished last season, when he clouted for an average of .347 in twenty games. Talking over the chances of Ray Jackson.

Joe's brother, beating out Kirke, Manager Frank said he did not believe it possible for Jackson to do it. Jackson was In the Southern association last season, and in eighty three games for Memphis bit for an average of .250. Kirke was in 137 games, and finished at .308. Not only did Jay hit often, but he hit timely, and many of his clouts went for extra bases. Manager Frank says: "Klrke will hit just as hard as a member of a big league team a he will in bush leagues, for he hits any kind of pitching.

In the Southern association he went against some of the best left handers in the business, and they couldn't bother him, even though he hits from the left hand side of the plate. He hit." 9 Winner of four prizes in the Scrub Oak Mountain Climbing; contest, July 1911 It is Built for Those Who Use the Best Matheson "Silent Six" Fore Door.

The regulars of the New York National league team, gathering here for their departure to the southern training grounds in Texas, learned with interest today that Manager MeOraw and a sciuad of recruits now practicing at Marlin had adopted lawn tennis as a means of training. McGraw Insists that when the men are not playing on the diamond, they will stroll to the tennis courts and get. into action. Handball courts are also being completed at Marlin and Manager McGraw promises that there will be no idle moments for any athlete in the training camp. The regular members of the Giant team leave here within a fpw Hava NEW ADVANTAGE IN AUTO IS FOUND BY DUE YEA Flexible Attachment In Sew Form of fount ruction.

In a series of experiments which have been made recently, an advantage which has not been fully real ized heretofore by automobillsts baa been proved for the flexible attachment of the mechanism of a motorcar to the frame. This form of construction, originally devised by J. Flank Duryea, has nat; urally. been most highly developed in the iitevens Duryea car, in which it was first used, and it is with the Stev ens Duryea that the tests referred to have been made. The advantages with which "three point support" has always been credited, are that it pre serves the alignment of the driving mechanism, no matter how the chassis may be thrown out of level by road inequalities and tlius saves wear and tear on the.

whole car, including the tires, and makes riding easier. 1.0V VRIt'K CARS, Real development calls for general co operation. That was especially true of the motor car industry. Until the low priced car established itself as an article of proved merit, the automobile industry didn't even have, the good will of the nation. The horseless arriago was looked upon as a.

menace to every community. When good roads were mentioned the rank and hie regarded such agitation merely as a means to bettering the paths of the touring cars, which only the few owned. But how things changed when the nriee was hammered down within reach of the average man! Then the industry began to grow in earnest. The industry grew im favor and importance as the low priced car was distributed. With the Ford Motor Cora pany, alone, putting out 7o oars for 1912 at prices never before thought nossible.

EW TRAI.N'I.Vfr METHODS. CHICAGO, Feb. 25. President C. W.

Murphy, of the Chicago National base ball club, declares that in future he will advocate a general change in Spring training methods. Tie believesi it will be better for the veterans of the teams to do their preliminary work at home and send only recruits to Southern training fields where they could play with Southern teams. In this way, he says, the managers could pick the ''gems" whereas according to present methods they are often times overlooked because of the train lng fields being overrun with talent.

Dewey, of Wilkes Barre, will fight twenty rounds at Tamaqua tonight for a side bet of $50(1 and a percentage of the sate receipts. Plans are being made to accommodate 2.D00 fight fans, vn will reach Tainao.ua on special trains run over the Lehigh Valley railroad. i'lovided there is no interference by the authorities, the winner will meet Johnny (Hover, of this city. The winner of that bout will tackle Tommy Ginty, also of this city, and over the twenty round route the lightweight title of this part of the stale tvill be settled. Because of his showing against Knockout Brown, Bonner is the favorite with a majority of tho down valley fight fans.

Dewey has twice been outpointed by Glover in six round affairs, but he believes he can trim the local fighter in a long light. Bonner. Dewey. Ginty and Glover are the real candidates for the honor in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and a "round robin" between this quartet would attract great interest. All the fights would, be fought In the neighborhood of Tamaqua, where twenty round fights have been allowed to go along without interference.

Through liia manager, Willard Stuart, Grover Hayes, the Philadelphia lightweight, who has a record as long as Ichabod Crane's arms, has sent a challenge to Johnny Glover, of this city, through The Tribune Republican. Hayes is willing to take Glover on in this city, in Philadelphia, or in any other part of the continent agreeable and handy for Glover. Hayes has met iind defeated the best of them, his last bout being with Billy Allen, of Syracuse. Allen won the decision from Hayes in twelve rounds at Youngstown. Ohio, hut Hayes hits been DR.

Sporting Editor Gillam, of the Philadelphia Record 1ms this to say: "The fact that the clever Abie carried off the big end of the or prompts many to believe that it was another of those unpleasant surprises that Abie is said to love to hand his admirers, and subsequent events will prove that Abe is still far from being a "has been" at twenty eight years of age. "The argument is that Abe had to do something to square himself in the eyes of the public for his supposed 'lay down' to Knockout' Brown, for which the New York State Boxing commission has barred him for a period of six months." Whatever moral effect the loss of the title will have in Attell's favor is likely to be lost, because Johnny Kllbane, who copped the belt from At tell, declares he will not give the former hampion another opportunity. "I licked him," explains Kilbane, 'and I licked him good. He used every possible means to beat me, fair and foul, but I was too much for him.
