THE BOSTON GLOBE-S ATURDA Y. FEBRUARY 6. I91B Written By The Trained Staff SPORTS ONE OF THE GREATEST PLAYERS OF ALL TIMES WAS BARNES WILLARD HAS STARTED TRAINING FOR BOUT WITH JOHNSON QPORT- LIGHT THE LATE ROSCOE C. BARNES. Roscoe C.

Barnes, known better to old-time baseball fans as Barnes, who died yesterday In Chicago, was the second baseman of the Boston team In 1871, and In 1876 was with Chicago. His first Important game was in July, 1867, at Chicago, between the Nationals of Washington and the Forest City nine of Rockford, 111, Barnes being the shortstop and A. G. Spalding the pitcher of the latter team. He had previously played in amateur nines.

He remained with the Forest City club until Harry Wright selected him as the second baseman of his new Boston team In 1871. From that time until 1876 he knew no club but the Boston, and. it was in this excellent training school that Ross graduated as the finest second-base player ever seen on the professional field. was a native of New York State and was 5 feet inches tali. For four seasons he took the lead as the acknowledged best batsman in the fraternity.

Barnes was not of the class of chance hitters who, when they go to the bat simply go in to hit the ball as hard as they can, without the slightest, Idea as to where it is going; but he studied the position and made his hits i according to circumstances. He was among the first to practically introduce the new well-known hits, which was written up in baseball books of 1869-70. In fact, as "a scientific who went in to place a ball was never his superior. In 1875 he capped the climax in this respect, some of the games in that season being model displays of his batting skill. But it was in his fielding that, he excelled.

One point of excel-, lance was his shrewd Judgment in cov- the infield according to his batsman; one time playing almost back of first base, then at short right field, and then bank of second base. In fact, he was a base-playing strategist, and in this specialty he had no equal. Like all the graduates of the Boston i school who were worthy their alma; mater, was an honorable and gentlemanly player, one always to be relied upon for his most earnest efforts to win in every match in which the interests of his club were at stake. The Olncinnnati management never did a wiser thing than when they added Barnes to Jim team. His sick- ness in 1877 interfered with his record, but in 1878 he rallied with excellent effect.

He retired in 1881. One notable thing about Barnes was that he could steal second on the first or second ball pitched without sliding, and did it time and again. i Back in 1903 T. H. Murnane, writing 1 about Barnes, paid him this tribute: "In the early history of professional baseball there were few great ball players, but those few could hold their own with the greatest of the present time.

Barnes was the second baseman from '71 to '76. Then he went to Chicago for two years, and then gradually quit the game. his day he stood out as the king i of second basemen, as well as the fin- est batsman and run-getter of his time. He could cover more ground than any man I ever saw play the position, and could make plays to first on ground balls in short right field. had a long reach and could pick up a ground ball when on the dead run, on either side.

He was also fast on double plays. He had no superior as a 1 base runner, and was the first player to throw himself wide of the base and hold the bag. He claimed base running was the most trying department of the game i and injurious to the player. As a bats-, man he could hit out, bunt and place the ball, and was usually good for batting average pf .460. "He was more of a sensation in his day than Lajoie Is at the present time I (1903).

He was a much faster man, but was not forced to face the curve pitch- ing of the time. He played i without gloves, as did the players of his time, and no doubt would have turned out a phenomenon under the present FOUR worlfs ecords GO IN SWIMMING MEET CHICAGO, Feb new world records were set here in the Central Amateur Athletic Union swimming events, and 15 American marks were broken. Harry Hebner, Perry McGillivray and Michael McDermott were the main factors In the meet. McDermott set a world's mark of 1:13 2-5 for 100 yards In retaining the 200 yards breast stroke title and made a new record for the 200 yards of 2:38 2-5, diping two seconds off his own record. McGillivray, in defending the 30 open swim title, set a new'mark of 2:50 1-5 over the 250 yards and created one of 3:26 1-5 for the 300 yards.

The old records were 2:51 for 250 and 3:26 2-5 for 300, both by J. G. Hatfield of England. The best previous American mark was 2:52 3-5, by McGillivray. Hebner in swimming the 880 yards, broke 10 American records, beginning at 330 yards.

-His time for the 880 yards was- 11:14 1-5, the former record of 11:29 1-5 being held by C. M. Daniels. ANOTHER ENGLISH GOLFER COMING TO U. S.

NEW iORK, Feb foreign professional will soon be located in America, for it was learned yesterday that Wilfrid Reid of Banstead Downs, Eng, and a brother-in-law to Louis Telller of Canoe Brook, will arrive here within the next two weeks to become connected with the Seaview Golf Club, at Absecon. He will suceed William H. Robinson, who has been with the club since It started. Reid, It will be recalled, had a fine opportunity to capture the American open hampionship at Brookline in 1913, but he fell down on the last play and finished in a tie for 16th place with a total of 318. Retd, through his visit in 1913, is well known here.

At home he has distinguished himself on more than one occasion. Thomas L. McNamara, former Metropolitan open champion, and Thomas Kerrigan of Dedham, passed through this city yesterday on their way to the £outh. YALE MAY YET HAVE ARTIFICIAL LAKE TO ROW ON AT NEW HAVEN NEW Conn, Feb official announcement by Capt Denegre this week that Guy Niekalls has sent word that he will be back in New Haven again before the end of February has settled that matter definitely. There have been numerous reports published to the effect that he had enlisted and would not return to coach the crew.

Many people had wondered why it is Mr Nickaus ift not In the English army, and they therefore accepted the reports that he wouni not uo any more coaching at Yale as correct. The. fact is that Mr Niekalls is too old for military service in England and this is the only reason that Yale will be able to retain his services this year. Last Fall before he came back to New Haven, Mr Niekalls offered his services three different times, but each time was refused on acount of his age. The last time he tried to enlist, he sought the influence of one of his brothers, who is a General in the British Army, and put his age down as considerably younger than he actually is.

He nevertheless was promptly told that everybody in England knew his age and that he could not get into the army. In order to be of some service in the present crisis in England, Mr Nichalls returned home the day after he finished the Fall rowing in order to take part in the recruiting work and since that time has been helping in it. Mr Nichalls is almost 49 years of age. Before Mr Niekalls went back to England, he arranged to have Capt Denegre call out the candidates for both the varsity and Freshman crews immediately after the Junior Promenade which takes place next Tuesday. Mr Nick- alls does not like indoor running and left instructions for the candidates to do as much outdoor running as possible.

This outdoor work will be supplemented by exei'cises in the gymnasium, on the rowing machines, and In the tank. Mr Giannini will have charge of this work until Mr Niekalls reaches New Haven, when Niekalls will take charge of the varsity candidates and Giannini will devote himself to the Freshmen. Mr Niekalls, last year, had the crews on the river as soon as the ice was out and this means that he will have them on the open water early in March if such a thing is possible. It is essential that Yale should get on the water early this year because of the race with Pennsylvania during the Easter vacation. Yale will have just about a month after these races before the triangular race at Princeton with the Tigers and Cornell.

This race will be rowed May 15. A race between the freshmen crews in 'which Yale will take part has also been arranged for the same date as Princeton. As the Harvard races will take place June 25, the Yale crews will have just about six weeks left in which to get ready for the Crimson. This is the most strenuous rowing schedule that Yale has had since 1912, when James O. Rodgers took charge of rowing and had three varsity races.

The graduates, who have paid Mr Niekalls for coming to Yale, are leaving nothing undone to put rowing on a firm basis here. They have just built a new boathouse for the crews at Gales Ferry, which, in addition to the clubhouses already there, will give Yale the finest equipment that any college has on a fcur-mile course. Tire only thing that Yale still lacks in rowing is an ideal place for practice here in New Haven. The graduates are now considering the feasibility of building an artificial lake which may some day supply this great need. Albert Barclay.

By TEX Sparring Partner of Jess Willard. CAMP WILLARD, near Ysleta, Tex, Feb 6--The temporary training schedule adopted by Jess Willard, white hope. I for his championship fight with Jack Johnson Is going along smoothly. A hundred or more fight fans journeyed out to the camp on the Knaublauch ranch at Ysleta, 10 miles east of El Paso, on the opening day. Mr Knaublauch, who is a banker and a fight fan, turned his ranch over to Willard for training, and no fighter ever had a better place.

The ranch house is a spacious 14-room bungalow, modern in every department, anti ideally furnished for its present use. One of the open-air outbuildings has been turned Into a fully equipped gymnasium. In the center is the 20-foot ring where Willard will put on the finishing touches for the fight with Johnson. A short distance from the camp Is the West Ysleta Country Club, which has opened its doors to us. Ysleta, by the way, wrhich may at last get Its name on the map, is the oldest settlement in the United States, having been established by the Spanish on their way north after the conquest of Mexico by Cortez.

This would date it back before the founding of St Augustine. The climate seems to agree with Willard, and as sobn as his lungs get accustomed to the high altitude he should rapidly round into shape. The decision of Jack Curley to stage the bout at Juarez seems to have been justified already, for there Is a more promising outlook. Every' mail brings orders for seats and messages of good will. Frankie Noel, sporting editor of the i San Antonio Light, informs us there wifi be at least three specials from his city, filled with rooters to see the title change The Cattle convention alone should take care of 4000 or 5000 seats.

And while I am digressing I want to say a word in appreciation of the splendid treatment accorded Willard and his party by the people of El Paso. The city has surely lived up to its traditional hospitality; the welcome sign is on every door and friendliness on every' face. The Chamber of Commerce has turned over to the management a suite of offices in its new building; automobiles are at our service, and every' one seems anxious to do their part in making our stay here a pleasant one. The temporary schedule starts at daybreak with a four-mile run on the road, followed by a shower and rubdown. Willard will repeat this at 10 for the first few mornings until his wind cats in good shape.

At 3 in the afternoon he will start his regular workout, which will wind up with eight or 10 rounds of boxing, taking on bis sparring partners for two or three rounds each.

best record on the bicycle was in 1905 when he made 67 centuries, which included 20 singles, 20 doubles, one I triplet and one qfhadruplet, or 18,708 I miles in all. i His first double in that year was on i May 20 and the last on Dec 28. The trtp- I let was'on Sept 23-24, in 24 hours, over i the Providence and Newbury-port course, and to Springfield and return, in 47h 57m. 1 He had a double puncture, which caused a loss of considerable time. On the quadruplet his pacemaker's wheel broke down in Worcester and the pacemaker had to return to Worcester i on the train.

On his return from Palmer i he had a puncture on front and rear heels while coming through Palmer, and after leaving Worcester on the last leg his chain broke six times, so that he was able to beat the time limit by only I three minutes. On the triplet, however, he beat the time limit by 12 hours, and is the only man who ever rode the triplet over the regular course in 24 hours. Mr Perreault is a Marathon runner aiso. In the B. A.

A. Marathon of 1904, when he was 39 years old, he went over the course in 2h 54m 45s and finished ninth in a big field. Mr Perreault has never but once lost a day from work in training or competing. The exception was when he rode that December double century. His training and competition have been done in the evening, on Sundays and holidays and during his vacations.

He is going in for distance and mileage riding strong this year.

Mack, immediately on cinching the pennant, allowed a majority of his veteran players to get out of the regular lineup. St'allings, on the other hand, insisted on pushing his team just as hard as if it was still fighting for the pennant. Such a system as that adopted by the Boston leader was severely criticised on all sides.

Early in July the Boston club had been in last place. It was a bitter struggle to work from last place to a oennant winner, and most fans believed that Stallings was acting unwisely in not giving his veterans a rest. Throughout the greater part of the season, three pitchers, James, Rudolph and Tyler, had shouldered the burden of responsibilities, Stallings, in working three men In rotation, had slightly defied the belief of most modern managers that every fourth day is the Droper system of working a pitcher to get the best results. After having worked his star trio so hard it was believed that he would at least give these la vers a chance to take things easy with the pennant won, but, instead, he kent using them in their regular turn, although he would often curtail the work to five innings Most fans heileved that when team went into the big series it would be stale because it had been driven too hard. The day before the end of the Boston regular season the baseball world was startled when the news was flashed over the wire that third baseman Smith of the Boston club had broken his leg sliding into second base a game Brooklyn.

Those critics who hSd conceded Boston a slim chance to win saw that chance vanish with the injury of Smith, who had been a very valuable man to the Boston club in its great uphill battle for the National League championship. The wise men who Insisted that Stallings was using the wrong system in driving his players to the very finish pointed to the injury to Smith as proof of the fact. Smith injured his leg in the usual to slide, saw that he did not need to hit the ground, tried to stay up, his spikes caught, and the leg was broken. The Braves wound up the season with a double-header, Smith being injured in the first game. In the second game Stallings put a team in the field which lacked many of the regulars.

It was just such a team as most critics and fans Insisted he should have been Using for the week past. It was pointed out that Stallings had discovered his error foo late. It was contended that he should have allowed the stars to take it easy, and that he should have Insisted that they take no hard chances on the bases. Perhaps no manager could be more severely censured than Stallings was for his methods. Even his most loyal supporters failed to see the wisdom of the system that had resulted In the injury to Smith on the evC of the World's Series.

At the time no one knew the real reason that Stallings had for shifting his system at the very last minute and using substitutes after the damage seemingly been done. Here is how Stallings later explained it: "The injury to Smith probably worried me more than any one else in the big United States. I realized that it already- had greatly affected the spirit of my team. I knew that some drastic measures would have to be resorted to in order to get the men back to a proper fighting spirit. After the first game when I walked into the clubhouse I informed practically all my regulars that they were out of the second game.

I told them that I wanted to show them in the next game that the injury to Smith would have no effect on our chances. scrub team can win a game if it goes out there with the proper spirit ia what I impressed on the boys. The team I put in the field the next game was one of the worst looking ball clubs that ever played major league ball Catchers were in the infield and pitchers in the outfield, yet that club went out and walloped Brooklyn, 9 to 2. I changed my system, as most people thought; I merely shifted at the last moment to prove to my ball players that one loss could not wreck a ball team. The way the substitute club beat Brooklyn restored the confidence that the Injury to Smith had Would you have thought of Stallings' scheme? Copyright, 1915.

Technically, Dean cornes under the rule, and fio doubt permission will have to be obtained to make the trip.
