tno ouuiuiu jii wuitting uiueri wmio mo
task before Mack Is to construct a re
liable pitching stall and develop a third
baseman to take tho plnco of "Itun
Uomo" Baker.
Just hero It Is not out of order to tako
nolo of William Kopf, Baker's probable
successor. Kopf's work was brought to
the notice of Connie Mack In 1912. Though
ho. showed up well, Mack, who then had
Billy Orr as a prospective utility Infleldor,
allowed the Toledo club, of tho American
Association, to uso Kopf In 1913. Ho was
turned over to Cleveland at tho end of
tho 1913 season, but Manager Blrmlng
hanwJJd not think a great deal of "King
BrAjrV ' tho namo ho used In Toledo.
4ifio result was that Mack exercised
the option he had on Kopf lor 19H and
tocyk him South last spring, After a
battlo with Orr, Instlng throughout the
training .'cason and well Into t'ne Amer
ican League campaign, Kopf finally beat
out his rival for tho position of substi
tute Inilelder.
On a number of occasions last year
Kopf waa put In at third and second
'bases, when Baker and Collins wore In-
i disposed. He showed up brilliantly In
the Held In thoso contests and hit nt a
fair clip. 1,1 ko tho majority of ball
.players, Kopf will do far better at tho
bat when ho Is allowed to play steadily.
He naturally Is a left-handed hitter, but
asalnst southpaws he bats from tho reg
ular side of tho plate, and to all appcar-
, ances Is Just as good batting right-handed
as left.
Kopf Is only 23 years old, Is remarkably
fast and Is as agile and quick In his ac
tions as Eddlo Collins. Ho will bo able
to take caro of third base in a way which
will make tho fans forget Baker, so far
as the fielding end of tho game is con
cerned. His arm is strong and ho Is ac
curate In his tossing to first.

PATTERSON MAY BE MAN
TO SHOCK FATHER TIME
Perm's 1913 Collegiate 100-Yard Champion and Record
Holder Is One Athlete of Ability Who May Shatter
Collegiate Mark of 9 4-5 Seconds.
James C. Patterson, president of. tho
nenlor class nt the University of Penn
sylvania, is ono sprinter In America who
is conceded to bo swift footed enough to
equal the record of 9 3-5 seconds for tho
100-yard dash. Howard P. Drew, of the
University of Southern California, has run
tho distance In 9 3-5 seconds, equaling tho
mark of Dan Kelly, of Oregon. Drew Is
very likely to show wondorful form this
summer.
Patterson when conditioned Is a con
sistent performer, and his greatest ath
letic feat was to win tho 1913 collegiato
100-yard dash championship, at tho snmo
tlmo equaling tho record of 9 4-6 seconds
for tho dlatnnco shared by B. J. Wofers,
It. C. Craig and W. A. Schick. Patter
son last year was far from being condi
tioned for the colloglato championship
race, and as a result ho did not ap
proach his sensational 1913 performance.
In the first heat of tho hundred ho was
beaten by Seward, of Michigan, and Stan
ton, of California, In 10 seconds flat. Even
In tho hent for tho third, fourth and fifth
men Patterson was outsprlntcd, and did
not qualify for the finals. The time was
but 10 1-5 seconds. It would have been
easy for him at a tlmo when properly
shaped. Patterson attributes his defeat
last year to overstudy and a lack of
proper training, and is of the opinion that
ho will bo far hotter this time. This
means tho gr-at lied and Blue flyer will
bo out to equal, If not break tho collegiate
mark of 9 4-5.
When a student at tho Baltlmoro City
Collego the lltho youngster repeatedly ran
tho hundred In 10 seconds. At the George
town University outdoor games In 1900 he
ran his first hundred in 10 seconds flat,
and on tho same day turned tho furlong
In 221-5 seconds truly wonderful work
for a schoolboy. After that tho times
wore fow and far between in which tho
sprinter did not run tho hundred In oven
tlmo.
In tho 1913 collegiate meet Patterson
was on edge for tho sprint. Ho wu the
third heat from his toughest rival, A. O.

Keller, of Cornell, and Olson, of Dart
mouth, In 10 1-5 seconds. In tho soml
(Innl he showed a turn of speed which
proved to be a forerunner of wlint was
to bo witnessed In tho final, as ho broke
tho worsted Just 10 seconds after tho un
flashed.
Don Upplncott. Patterson's teammato,
now captain of the Penn clnderpath
squad, was the only other sprinter on
that dny to comploto tho dlstnnco In
even time. Don turned tho trick In his
heat and semifinal. Tho final race will
bo long remembered. Cnptnln Bod Wag
ner, of Hopkins, had tho pole position;
Pnttcrson was In No. 2 lnne; Bond, of
Michigan, No. 3; Keller, Cornell, No. 4:
I.lpplncott, Penn, No. 5, nnd Ingersoll,
Cornell, tho rim. At tho sound of tho
gun tho Held broke as ono man. Tho W
yard mark found little difference between
tho six fastest college sprlnterB In Amer
ica It was not until the last 10 yards
that Upplncott, Patterson and Keller
showed supcrhumnn strength, nnd they
moved up Just n peg ahead of the other
contestants. Tho Jump at the tape found
tho threo leaders so closely bunched that
only tho oflklnls could ponltlvely deter
mine tho order of the finish. When the
bhout went up thnt Patterson had won
nnd had equaled tho record of 9 4-5 sec
onds, the Joy of the Penn nthletes nnd
the supporters knew no bounds.
Last year Jim's work was disappointing
to his friends, but not nt all surprising
when It Is known thnt ho was far from
being conditioned. Tills year Jim hasn't
tho heavy study strain to worry him, nnd
tho 191ii colleglntes will find him ready
for tho race of his career.
With all the experience In store, Pat
terson this year should make his senior
year a memorablo ono. Ho has planned to
do great things, and, If condition hns
anything to do with his efforts, ho will
accomplish the feat of not only winning
tho colleglates, but of hanging up an
other record. Jim Is not boastful. On
tho contrary, he Is of n very retiring dis
position when It comes to discussing his
own nthletlo ability. Ho simply Is brim
ming over with confidence, and that Is
tho quality that counts.

According to Mr. Kipling "Tho Colonel's
lady nnd Julia O'Grady nro slaters under
tho skin."
In tho samo way the spirits of John
Franklin linker and of Ralph Waldo
Emerson nre not as far apart as one
might Imagine tho spnee to bo between
a home-run hitter and u poet-philosopher.
Emerson, when he decided to quit the
game, expressed tho Idea as follows:
"Qood-bpe, proud world, I'm going homo;
Thou art not my rieuct, einrl I'm not
f n we;
Long through the weary crowds I roam,
A rtucr-nrfc on the ocean brine,
i Long I've been tossed by the driven foam;
1 .Hut noto, proud world, I'm going home."
"Goad-bye to Flattery's fawning face;
To Orondctir, toltft its toise grimace;
To upstart Wealth's averted eye,
To supple office, low and high;
To crowded halls to court and street,
To frozen hearts and hasting feet;
To those who go and those who come
Qood-byc, proud world, I'm going home."
Baker expressed the same Idea In a
slightly different way. But evidently tho
two might well have been "brothers under
the skin."

Tho championship of the Scholastlo

final games of the organization will be
played. Northeast High School tied Cen
tral High School for the lead yesterday
afternoon by defeating Southern High
School. 27-23.
Next week Central HUh School will play
Southern High School and Northeast IIIsK
ttchool will encounter West Philadelphia High
School. In the event of both Central and
Northeast v. Inning or losing their games, a
post'SCASon contest will be necessary to decide
the championship.
However. If Southern High pulls the un
expected again and beats the Crimson and
Cold, as the downtowners did In the only two
frames In their "V" column, a lctory for
.North. ast over West Philadelphia will give
the hth street and Lehigh avenue quintet the
title. Oa the other hand, a Central High win
and a Northeast defeat will decide the cham
pionship In the former's favor, and will bring
a close to ono of the closest and most lntereat
Ine; basketball race ever held in this city.

This Is no chairing mntter. Messrs.
Ford and Ade are to bo congratulated for
having devised one of tho greatest of all
boons to humanity.

ica. The families of theso golfers num
ber nt lenst 3,000,000. In nddltlon there aro
outside friends to tho number of 10.000,000.
So tho Willing Enrs Co., L'td., appeals
directly to at least 13,700,000 folks!
In nddltlon, when the company Is fully
organized It will furnish employment to
700.000 men, nnd possibly a great many
more, as most golfers will wnnt at least
two Willing Listeners around. So that
means over H.000.000 people men, women
and children, affected by this miraculous
organization.

From the Seat of War
Brave kings and emperors and counsellors,
Who gravely boio response unto the

"Why haven't baseball conditions been
i,reatly Improved for the player?" H. L.
X. desires to know. "Isn't tho player get
ting moro money thun he ever got be
fore?" Many of them are. But how about those
600 players who will bo cut adrift by May
through the Inability of club owners to
Dtnnd the heavy tax? Are conditions im
proved where those getting good money
recelvo additional knlo at the expense of
thoso barely making a living?
