St Petersburg, March 23. Cold weather
again rules today and prospects for tho
Cubs-Phlltle.i game are none too bright.
However, Sloran'a crew are nnxloun to
get back at Bresnahnn's bunch for the
two defeats handed them this season.
Peerless Tat said last night that he was
not ready to announce tho names of the
players who would be retained. They aro
21 In number, ns limited by the new ruin
of the National League. Pat knows what
players he would like to have, but he
must respect all Iron-clad contracts, and
for that reason n, promising Juvenile may
have to bo sacrificed.
The same problem confronts all major
league tacticians. Roger Bresnnhan, boss
of the Cubs, said the other day ho had to
let out a pair of youths ha wanted simply
because there was no room, as he couldn't

REFORM IN BASEBALL
URGED BY JOHNSON
American League President
Sees Disaster Ahead for Both
Clubs and Players.
CHICAGO, March K.-Baseball Is In
for an overhauling such as It has never
before experienced If the suggestions of
B. B. Johnson, president of tho American
League, aro carried out. According to
the head of tho Junior circuit, there Is
need of reform along both nrtlstlc Jpd
financial lines. Included In the scheme
for a "new deal" nro the closing of the
gates for tho coming season of some 30
ball parks and the abolition of spring
training trips The padlocks would be
distributed among live or six minor
leagues, while the American and Na
tional Leagues would be principally af
fected by the new system of training.
The apparent lack of interest In baseball In
mailer towns is the reason for the first Bug.

ST. PnTKItSDUnO. March 23 -Despite
the fact that t'ne Phillies will be without
tho servlcea of Sherwood Magoe nnd -.nns
Lobcrt, two playeTS always capable of
registering run:, the team will be stronger
In attack during tho coming season. This
nlrcndy has been shown by tho mannor
In which tho players have mndc t'ltelr
few hits count In tho exhibition games.
The system which Manager Moran Is
thoroughly drilling Into tho lineup np
penrs to bo ultimately productive of re
suts The lead-off combination Is Bobby
Brno nnd D.tvoy Bancroft. Ilyine for
enrs hns been one of t'ne best lead-off
men of tho National League. Many font
predicted that the former Pirate per
former would not wear a Phillies' uni
form, but this Is all wrong decidedly so
for thcro Ih no person among the Big
squad of Inllelders who will pull Robert
away from thnt third snek.
This year Bancroft will be found fol
lowing Byrno on the batting list which
will look well on pnper and in nverages
for the Phils. These boys will be the
pacemakers on the attack and It Is nlmost
n certainty that they will be found among
tho National League's run getters. In
placing Bnncort second on the list brings
two left-handers together, with Becker
hitting third. Bancroft, however, has
shown that he can hit from cither side
of the bag.

Some time last spring Jack Johnson
proclaimed himself n citizen of Fiance,
nnd announced his nrdent desire to shoul
der a musket for his new country If she
ever got In trouble. According to authen
tic rumor, France bumped Into n wee mite
of trouble somewhere around August 1,
but Johnson wasn't around very long.
Now Johnson says he will beat Willard
to a pulp, but wo refuse to belttevc him.
If he hnd been a man of his word ho
would he charging a 12-centlmctro gun

Hard Days
Tho United States Golf Association ap
parently intends to plunge headlong In
Its course until It will soon be extremely
difficult and annoying for a bona fldo
amnteur to earn much more than a decent
living out of Scotia'n ftenzy.
Is it tho Intention of the golf committee
to make a number of prominent amateurs
play the bally game merely for fun or
exercise or recreation?
The F. L. F. Club
For president of tho Foollsh-Llke-a-Fox
Club we take pleasure in nominating
Colonel George T. Stnlllngs.
Stnlllngs has convinced the Braves this
season that the rest of tho outsldo world
looks upon them ns fluke champions and
Lucky Hubs. Ho has Bhol this dope Into
their systems until they nre frothing nt
tho gills In their eagerness to reach tho
battlefield nnd furnish a demonstration.
When ho finishes up with base ball and
tho Braves Stalllngs should secure the
chair of Uxtenslvo Psychology nt Har
vard. What he doesn't know nbout psy
chology wouldn't fill a cavity In the molar
of a chlgger.
The Case of J. Thorpe
The baseball nctlvltlcs of J. Thorpe,
provided he Is able to slip Into the box
score for a fair test, will provide one of
tho most Interesting features of the sum
mer menu.
McGrnvv took a chance on Thorpe be
cause the Indian hnd mastered to a won
derful degree every other gnmo he had
I tackled. If the Glnnt Instructor had only
I been able to rail the noblo redskin when
Jccrns wns nbout 20 years of age Ty
Cobb would have a closer rival than Trls
Speaker by to date.
But Thorpe was around 26 years of ago
nciorp no attached ins rollicking person
to JIcGraw's entourage. And It Is still
to to proven that tho raw product can be
snared at the ago of 27 and twisted Into
a big league star. If Thorpe gets by with
It he will bo tho exception proving the
rest of It.
Dut There's Still Time
Although tho season la only three weeks
nway. Colonel Ebbeta has so far arranged
for only seven opening dny dedications.
Is the Colonel harassed toy tho Feds,
by tho war or Is he merely biding tho
psychological moment?
Wo have never seen the operations or
tho devastating effects of a 12-centlmetro
gun, 'but wo have seen a ball player cut
In with a dumb play between Stalllngs
nnd Evers, nnd tho detonation which fol
lowed Is all we care to hear In tho wav
of high explosives. There are some limits
that are sufficient unto the day.
If Willard wins, the business of White
Hoping passes onto the mists. Threo
cheers for Willard.
