No matter what they tell you about baseball going back, and not being as spectacular, as It need to be In the good old days, yon Just tell them that baseball." as a whole, is a mighty Improved game over what it was ten. aye twenty years ago, and you'll not be more than a mile wrong. Certainly, In the old days they had some twinkling stars Individual 'men. Who stood? hut over their fellows like Colossus straddling the world. But for all this, the ballplayer of today, taken as a whole, are much the superiors of the fellows of the old days.

There never was a club of ballplayers who could outplay Frank Chance's dun of last year. They knew everything that Is known of baseball. Hitting, no team could dd It with more grace and cohesive ness than did last year's Cubs, and they were Just aa superior In "every other deportment of the game. Let us have a little look at some of the stsr players of the olden' dsy and of the present day. Some Old Stars.

Just twenty years before hte Detroit Tigers of 1907 won renown for the city of straits they had a wonderful ball club In that city. They were a grand batting team, those old boys, but what they didn't know about fielding and other points of the game would fill a new Carnegie library. Like all pennant-winning teams, the old Detroit Sluggers hsd a wonderful catcher tn Charley Bennett. No team ever won any great baseball honor with out a good catcher. Bennett was a wizard, and he left thegame long before the time of his usefulness had expired via the accident route.

Bennett had both his legs cut off while yet In his prime, and Is now a cigar merchant In Detroit. Those old Tigers had Pete Conway, Charlie Getseln and Lady Baldwin as pitchers. They could no more approach the Cubs pitchers of last season than could a wet hen outrun a lively Jack-rabbit Brouthers was the greatest batter of that team, and McGraw assured the writer last winter that Brouthers was the greatest batter the National game ever knew. McO raw's word Is worth much consideration on this point, as he was a great batter himself and knew baseball men better than any man the fBy John P. Brady.) CHICAOO.

March T. The itWI Mft romances of the Indian during the last ew years have caul much comment. The Onondaga, Tom Longboat, haa proved himself the greatest Marathon runner In America, while several other copper-skinned youths have become sen-at Ion on the track. The Carlisle foot ball team delivered the roods all season, and proved themselves masters of the white man's game. These were the best achievements per formed, and for them the red man has been deluged with praise which.

When the athletic career of each rare Is con sldered. seems overdone. Iesptte the tendency to overrate the prowess of an Infertne mm. rimnf I the alamour and sentiment that, surround the history of the. Indian from the earliest times history In which athletic ability Is one of the chief attributes of the leaders of the race and the aboriginal Is found to bo as Inferior In physical qualities as la mental.

Hundreds of veers of nomadic exist- nee. In which strength of limb, keea Sight, and powers endurance were ner. essary for self-preservation, did not and could not develop the physique of the Indian beyond a certain point. The slow growth of the brain did not keep pace with that of the body, and there was a bait. I Then ths white man came.

Apparently Inferior Inl physique to the red man. unable to undergo the same fatigue at first, and seemingly In every way at a disadvantage, brain power came to his aid and enabled him to win out. The second generation of white settlers in America discounted the Indian In endurance. The white man was able thus early to beat the Indian at his own game. The latter never could handle the bow as could the archers of the.

middle ages, lie never could use the rifle with his White brother, and as woodmen the cou-rsurs de bols and the white trappers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries hadhlra beaten In every way. Centuries of running and long-distance tramps -are supposed by many peculiarly to have fitted the Indian for Marathon races, and Longboat and Deerfoot are cited as proof of this contention. But these are the only two great Indian runners known to later times whose performances have placed them In a class where the white man seemingly has no chance. These redsklnsj Deerfoot In the last century and longboat In this, beat all competition with ease. In the case of the former, though, the reason of his superiority over any of his opponents probably lay in the fact that these latter were few and far between.

Long distance running was not as popular then as It has become since the Marathon races were revived. In present times Longboat has more opposition than eerfot had. but the latter day Indian good only at distances over fifteen miles. Alfred Sliruhb. the English runner, can race him off his feet at any dis- IihM thla mwA -I- that Corey, the Chicago long-distance man.

easily could take the Onondaga's measure at over the twenty-fire-milt route. Longboat Is more of sn athletic acclt dent than anything else, and cannot last long. The peculiar temperament of the Indian Is his Nemesis, and It will not be long ere he Joins the ranks of the has beens. lie Is one of the hardest propositions to manage that a trainer ever tKk hoi of. With the red man's erase for whisky Is added a morose temperament which almost precludes the white man understanding him.

When he first i broke Into the racing game he was picked up by a Toronto M. C. A. club, and for a time appeared to be a model of deportment. He was apparently docile, and the members the asnociatlon were happy In the fact that for once In their lives they Tim Keefe Was Great Pitcher, While Ewlng Was the Star Catcher of His Day Bergen a Wonder.

Peerless Mike. Stovey and Brodle were the gardeners for the team, and they didn't let many weeds grow under their feet, either. The same Boston team, with Jack Stlvetts as an added pitcher, won the honors In H3. They also added two great fielders that year Tommy McCarthy and Hugh Dufly. Puy and McCarthy were as great a pair of fielders as ever donned spiked shoes.

Both were fitters, and what they didn't know about baseball wasn't worth learning. Boston Wins Pennant. The same Boston team captured the" honors In 1893. and they were surely a great team, but none of these great Boston teams could compare with Chance's champions, of last year. Baltimore had Its first great team In 1894.

That season they had Dumpling McMahon and Hawke. and Kid Qleason and Charley Esper as pitchers. They were only fair stingers. Wilbur Robinson was their catcher, and he was a great, hulky. brainy backstop.

They had a great fighting Infield In Brouthers. Reltx. Jennings and McQraw. and a fine outfield in Kelley, Keeler and Brodle. Stilt, for reasona pointed out In The Tribune the other day, the writer does not think them the equal of the great Clflcago Champions of last year.

In It 5 and 1S9S the Baltimores were the pennant winners again. They were the famous Orioles then, and as ballplayers never had superiors, unless It was the Cubs. Beaneaters Again. In 1S97 Boston came back to its own and won the National League honors. Boston had a great bunch of pitchers that year In Lea-is.

Klobendanx, Nichols and Stlvetts. Lewis later became an Evangelist, while Klobendanx, was so tar-titurn that he was forced out of the k-ague when he was racily the Ie8t left-handed pitcher In the game. The grand Martin Bergen caught for Boston that season. They'll tell you of their Klings and their Buck wings, and their Bennetts and Kellt-ys as throwers, but Bergen had them all lashed to the mast in this department of the game. Poor Bergen was a melancholy soul, and one winter he destroyed himself and his family, thus abruptly ending tlie career of one of the greatest catchers the game has ever known.

In 1898 Boston won the pennant again. This season they added the services of the great Victor Willis, a great, lonr, sliver of a man. who knew how to pitch mighty baseball, and did pitch much of that very sort. Brooklyn Turns Trick. In 1899 Brooklyn got most of the great Oriole stars and landed the pennant.

They had a fair lot of pitchers Jn Jay Hughes. Roaring Bill Kennedy. Jimmy McJames and Jack Dunn, and two good Backstops on Jimmy Mcgulre and Duke Farrell. In -900 Brooklyn won again, and With practically the same players, except that they had been strengthened by the addition of the great Iron Man McGlnnlty to their pitching staff. In 1901-2-J Pittsburg had the best team In the league, and fie had good men In all departments, although their pitchers were not world-beaters.

In 1901 and 1GS the New Tork Giants won the honors, and since that time the Chicago Nationals, the team the writer believes to heve been the beet aggregation of balltossers the world has ever known, have been annexlonlsts of the honors. ever (By BYRON CLARKE.) CHICAGO. March 17. The most remarkable ballplayer I know of Is Billy Ulse. He Is a Chicago boy and the first time he played on a professional team was la '91.

Old Jack Remsen was the manager of tho Fort Wayne (Ind.) team at that time and Billy went to the Hoosler city to pitch for him. Billy was a great favolte there, for besUes being a good ballplayer he was Jolly, good-natured boy. Gise staid In Hooslerdom only one season for when the Detroit team came to Fort Wayriej to play an -exhi bition game, the manager was so attracted by Billy's tlaylng that he signed him at oncef. and took him iM.mc to Detroit tu play second for tiifci team. He made good there, for he was a fast a strong batter and a whirlwind on the bases.

During Billy's second season at Detroit he was hurt and was out of the game for a long tlmw. When at last ho recovered he refused to go back to the league, preferring! to play with the) Franklins In He had a good J-ib In the: Windy City and felt that It was better for him to stay In Chicago and superintend his son's education than to play tilth the more Important team. Under Billy's tender guidance the so was raided In the way he should go and became an excellent ball-player. The son Is now playing with his father on the same team and handles himself In much the same way. being a fast, snappy player.

I Although Billy Is an old man and plays on tho team with his son. he still retains much of his old-time skill. Taught by Father. "Poo Anson was taught the game by his father and played on the same teaut out In town, long before he broke Itit.i big league company. In those days there were a bunch of Ansons playing on amateur teams, but none of "Pop's" children jrr grandchildren has given promise of following In the old man's footsteps.

Jim O'Rourke. the bid left fielder on the Boston team, is now. the whole thing in baseball In Bridgeport, Connecticut. Although Jim Is pretty highly ratel In a financial way and Is the owner as well as manager of the team, he still stays In tho game. Jim's son, "Sonny Jim," as he Is called, also is playing on this team.

Young Jim graduated from the Tale Law school a few years ago and it was Intended to make a lawyer out of him. but he had too strong an Inherited desire for baseball to give up the game entirely. Young Jim plays second and sometimes pitches, and. as the old man the "O'Rourke battery" makes a strong drawing card. Jim must be at least 60 years and tho fact that he Is anactlve ballplayer and a good captain of the team shows what a ballplayer ran do If he only takes care of himself.

Ewing Was Star. Buck Ewlng. the old catcher of the New York team, was the beat catcher of his day. A better thrower never stood behind the bat. In these "days of Johnny Kllng, Bresnahan and the other good throw-en we think that we know what good throwing Is, 'but one must remember that there were "giants In those days" also During the season! of lift! no one stole second on Buck until the middle of August.

This record Isn't due to poor base either, for there were just as good base runners at that time as there sre now. Mike Kelly, George Gore, Williamson. In fact, the whole Chicago team were fast men on the bases. George oiore was the fastest man In the league, and no one has b8 ten his time for a circuit i of the bases even to this day. His record.

which has stood for to long. Is 14 flat for the round trip. The first man to Buck during that steal second on year was Fred Pfeffer. and he wan proud of his feat as If he had been elected alder man. While the Chicago team was on Its way to New York every one was bragging about the number of bases they were going to steal.

To hear the bunch talk Buck's record of preventing any one stealing second on him would not last a minute. Gore, who was a tricky player as well as a fast one. declared that Buck would have him-arrested for grand larceny when he counted up the total bases that Ore www going to steal on him. i I I Mike Kelly added his little brag, and so did all the rest of the crowd. Pfeffer managed to steal a base In the first game and told the rest of the team that they were a bunch of dubs for not going and doing Ukwls.

of course, this was merely chaff, for there was the best of feeling among the Chicago players at that time. Fred was called safe after a long sllle of about twenty fet and was covered with as much dust a glory when ha arose, Spurred by Pfeffer'a success and his Joshing the rest bf the team made desperate efforts to steal, but their attempts were all In vain. Mike Kelly. who was one or tno doi men in ma country on stealing bases, derided ti do or tile and he died at second every tlmelhe tried to -get there. Anson kept Wiling Mike to try.

and try he did. sliding head first, then feet first, and going through all kinds of contortions, but he couldn't make It. Even Gore, with all his i.ecd. kept his reputation for honesty unsullied, for he didn't steal even a slngte base. The high priced star of today would have hard work equaling the record of Buck that year.

Roger Conner, who played first base for New York for so long, was a great hitter. Whenever he came tn bat tho fielders backed up. for they knew that he would give them a run for their money. He -ould be depended upon to line out hits that landed against the fence most of the time and often went clear over It. Roger not only was a good ball-player but a gentleman as welt, and no one ever heard him kick on an umpire's decision.

New York never has had a bet tee player since he left In 1881. I Dan McGsnn. who has played the base since Roger left. Is not In tho same class with him. Dan can put In a kick as well aa any one.

In fact, this Is one of his strong points. Now he la kicking about going tn Boston. Reliance Show Should Be Good The boxing night of the Reliance Athletic Club, which Is to be held next Friday night Is beginning to attract the attention of the fans, who have an opportunity to look ever the list of events. The three six-round events that are on the list for this month's show are the best lot that has yet. been offered.

In each contest a star performer Is pitted against a good fast comer and the reversals of form mayr be-plentiful. The management ln'rematchlng Dale Gardner and Terry Keller has acted only In response to the many requests made to them by the fans that the two be again put on that they might fight It out and deride a winner. The last contest between the pair waa of such character the last two rounds that every, fan In the building stood on his chair that he might not. miss a blow and the cheering for Keller at the end of the bout was deafening. Tom Woods, who will meet Irick CuU ten In the semi-wind up, Is one of the best of the short distance performers and coming as he does, with the reputation that he gained in Ban Francisco by beating Paul Martin and such great boxers, he will prove a great drawing card, for the fans are always anxious to see new faces If they are such that the followers of the game may feel they are sure that he will not prove a bloomer.

Dtck Cullen appeared tn Oakland once before when he boxed six rounds with Fred Ward. Ward gained the decision over Cullen but when It Is taken Into consideration that he outweighed the loser over ten pounds It tm little wonder that he was beaten, at that he ran such a close second that Ward was uncom. fortable all the way. I Antone Lagrare Is the other new face. He will appear With Frank MrOurn, who haa In his past starts at the Reliance Club proven that; he Is sll that the law allows In the short distance fighter.

La-; grave Is the pride of San Francisco's butcher town and will have a large following to root for him. The show avill be opened with the usual three-four round preliminaries, Day? "No." and a grunt, nobody was troubled by that. This stats, ef affairs, howsver. changed dramatically. Longboat was billed as the star performer at a big meet and refused to race.

Ha gave no reasons whatever, but Just simply wouldn't run. Borne trivial circumstance had offended Mm, and all the Intractability of his nature came straight to the surface. He developed an Inordinate dislike for his trainer, who was doing everything possible to win back ths Indian's affections and respect. But Longboat showed all the determination of his race, and cut loose from his Job and broke training In a long spree. Ht cams under the Influence of a former half-breed pal.

and for a time It looked as If his athletic days were finished. From this predicament he was rescued by the Irish Canadian Athletic dub of Toronto, and his manner of living Immediately changed. For the last six months he has been a good Indian. He has to be. He submits to discipline without a murmur, and haa shown no Inclination to return to his old habits.

Evidently he Is treated as an unthinking being, and takes kindly to the luxury of having the white man think for him. War Eagle, the big Blackfoot wrestler, was another athlete whose surly temperament practically drove him from his game. He was the Creature of his whims, and never could be successfully handled by trainers. When wrestling in Chicago some time ago: he threw his opponent In ths first bout with comparative ease. He seemed completely to outclass the other, and looked like a certain winner.

In the second session he came Into the ring and deliberately lay down, practically refu Ing to wrestle, and allowed his competitor to turn his shoulders over without a perceptible struggle. The third bout was a repetition. Explanations being In order, the redskin's trainer declared that the ugly nature of the chief was responsible for the whole of the affair, and he did not want to wrestle the first place, and had to be forced to enter the ring. It either was that or else the Indian is a mighty poor faker. Some red men.

have gained considerable fame In baseball, the greatest undoubtedly being Bender of the Athletics. The majority ef the Indian balltossers. though, who have reached the front ranks of the game are not of pure Indian blood. Nig Clarke of Cleveland has more or as, much white blood. In him as he has Indian, and was a clever student at college.

Foot ball Is the game at which the aboriginal makes his best showing. But even In this branch of athletics, where the player can let the coach do most of the thinking, the Indian has not shown as well aa he should. The player at an Indian school often gets from eight to ten years of college football, and can be taught to play the game well enough to compare favorably with ths best men of the country, hut his football ability la that of a copyist, like that of the parrot In talking. (Of all the famous Indian football players turned out since the sport has been played In the government schools not one haa attained any prominence as a coach. In fact, there is no record of any redskin ever getting such a position at any college In the country In the red man's own game, lacrosse, he -has been outdone' by the.

white race. 1 There Is no Indian team playing the game that can defeat a third rate twelve of whites. Of course there are good Indian players on the best lacrosse teams but they are always wedged in between whites, where they can be told what to do. Kven then they are not what might be railed brilliant successes, and are never known to shine through their town initiative. athletic sports.

Ae a fielder. Brouthers was truly a mutt. A great big slattern on ground balls, and he was as helpless on the bases as a primary school kkl would be In the ring with Jeffries.

But very often Charley strikes a snag When he Is engaged In ladling Out the brand of uplifting material that a parent usually passes on to his offspring.

One of the main stumbling blocks In the path of Mr. Comlskey when he springs his advice Is the merry and alto-gather Irrepressible Nick Altrock. the outftsndtng pitcher.

The wrestling tournament of the Olympic Club, which Is to be held on Thursday evening at Golden Gate Coramandery Hall on Sutter street, near Fillmore.

The startling news came from Cleveland. to Pittsburg fans tonight that Tommy Leach, fart outfielder and former third basemen of the Pittsburg team, was dickering with the California League and would likely be seen on the coast. Leach Is probably the fastest; man in the big league. Last year his salary was 13300 per year and he has been offered $4000 for the coming year, but refuses to play on the Pittsburg team for less than 17500. He was offered the management of the Cincinnati team at that figure, and when the deal was about to go through Pittsburg, weakened and demanded the three real stars of Cincinnati for Leach, which killed the deal.

Leach has declared he will never play ball for Pittsburg unless that: salary, which was snatched from him, la made good.
