EVENING LEDGERPHrLADELPHtA, gift DAY. JANUARY ' i,. IQjJL 32 f HARD ROAD AHEAD OF "JIMMY" , CALLAHAN WILL HAVE A HARD BATTLE TO MAKE PIRATES American Leaguers Seem to Believe Former J White Sox Leader Will Not Make Good in Pittsburgh i TTTtLti Jimmy Callahan ninUo good ) VVI licacucrs sram to bellovo that tho I Wt many ball players who have Ca.lta.han will prove an nblo successor to Fred Clarke. Callahan' position X wilt not bo nearly as soft with tho Pirates as It was at Chicago, where, ho f failed to produce, results. This Is mainly duo to the fact that he has a poor bunch bf material at Pittsburgh to handlo and has been boosted too strongly i by the Pittsburgh scribes. Every one Is predicting wonderful things of the Pirates under Callahan, find tho fans will be led to believe that It Is a team with a great chanco for (the pennant. If tho team stnrln off poorly, It will not bo long before tho Smoly City fans aro panning Callahan, as thoy don't Ilko to patronlzo a loser In Pitts J burgh any more than thoy do In Cincinnati. Tho nttendanco falls oft in any i tiiv tvhpr tho. Irnm in rlnf In ihn flcrrir. who1 do attend tho games with a losing team nro charitable enough to boost or J be silent; hut Pittsburgh and Cincinnati are not on this list. Sin both cities there seems to bo a certain clement who Just delight In going avi to seo tho homo team play when they aro losing regularly; thoy "ride" tho homo team continually. Unless Callahan can get oft to a good start ho will bo a target for tho "roasts" of these fans, and there does not appear to bo much chanco for tho team to get off good, ns It Is one of tho weakest In tho league on j paper. Wagner played excellent hall Inst season, but tho wonderful German has been In tho gamo a long time and ' I ' Pirates Need Several If tho breakdown comes this year gation. Tho tram Is weak at third and second, needs a catcher to help out Gibson, who has started to go back, and two outfielders, unless Max Caicy can coroo back lth a much better gamo than ho played last year. The pitching staff is nothing to brag about, barring AI Mamaux and the veteran Babe Adams, who Is the hard luck pitcher of tho league. Kunthlcncr U a youngster with great possibilities, judging by tho way ho worked at the closo of the season, but Callahan needs a few moro capabla boxmen. I J Callahan May Not Repeat Mistakes of Past I Callahan has had plenty of ttmo to seo tho error of his ways at Chicago, and It Is possible may not repeat his mistakes. Whilo handling tho Sox Callahan -J always seemed to guess wrong In cases whero a play could be worked two ways. Instinct Is a great help to a manager In such cases and Callahan did not appear to havo It. As It Is something which cannot bo acquired in a short spaco of time, ho will probably still bo lacking In that ability to cxerclso snap judgment with good results. It Is said that Callahan was too easy with his players, who took advantago i at him. .Tho appointment of Kid Gleason, tho former Phllly star, as coach, with rihe understanding that his duty was to preserve order and do tho "riding" of k the players for Callahan, Is belloved to have caused much of Callahan's troubles. Tho players took a great liking to Gleason: so strong that many of them wanted him appointed manager when Rowlund was selected, and did not look up to Callahan as much as Is necessary for the good of tho team. Few of the Old St. Louis Browns Remain There are few of the famous and original St. Louts Browns living. The death of "Tip" O'Nell, tno famous outfielder, who complied tho highest major league batting avorago In the history of tho game, brought this famous aggregation back Into the limelight and a search of newspaper flics shows that O'Nell and Welch, outfielders; Hoblnson second base; Bushong, Boylo and Mllligan, "catchers, and substitutes, Hudson, Carruthcrs, Foutz and Chamber 'laln, pitchers; aro dead. Many changes were made in Comlskcy's famous team In the four seasons lt reigned supreme In tho baseball world, but tho only survivors aro Xlcliol, v catcher; King and Dovclln, pitchers; Comlskoy, McGarr, "Kid" Gleason, , .Latham, and White Infleldcrs; Lyons and Tom McCarty, outfielders. Most of these men played only with tho' 1SSS team. In 1S87, O'Nell compiled his famous average of .492. While tho largest in tho history of tho gamo, this mark really docs not compare with the .422 mado by Lajole, In 1901, or of Cobb's best marks, as bases on balls counted for hits in 1887. Lajole was also benefited by not having tho foul strike rulo In forco In tho American League In 1901. Haughton Tried Out Combinations of System Percy Haughton, Harvard's wizard football coach, says that tho Harvard football system Is not duo to his own ability but to a combination of systems. The only credit ho takes for himself Is that ho had tho patience to try out tho theories of others, despite tho fact that results were not forthcoming at once. ,, , Ho had tho confldenco that tho thorles were right, and staked his position and reputation upon them. In outlining tho Harvard system for the benefit of those present at an alumni dinner, Haughton stated that ho believed football at Harvard went through four distinct periods, the strong points of each campaign and system being picked out by him and used with great success In building up the present system. Learned From Waters and Lewis For Instance, he says ho learned from tho regime of Bert Waters and Lewis, the famous centre, that It was necessary to outfight and outguess Talo to beat thorn; from Cam Forbes, who coached tho Crimson in 1897 and 1898, tho method of concealing tho offense was learned; while Bill Reld, who r handled tho teams of 1901, 1905 and 1906, showed Haughton the necessity of paying great attention to tho smallest detail. The rest, Haughton modestly states, Just simply had to com to him after he had carefully studied the coaching campaigns In voguo at Harvard for the past 26 years. But as one well-known coach, who resides In this city, said: "You must change your systems to meet conditions, and according to tho material you have, but I notice that H&rvard always has tho big, strong, fast fellows, who know the game from tho ground up when they enter Harvard. If you have ! handled a green team, you will know what this meuns." ! Fulton Calls 0f Match With Flynn 1 Fred Pulton ha called off his match with Porky Flynn, scheduled to talre 1 place at Hew Orleans on January 28. This Is something new In the pugilistic world, aa Fulton hna everything but a reputation, and Is acting like a real J champion. Slaoo to was matched to meet Wlllard In New Orleans, Fred has I basked In the limelight and refuses to meet any of the "fourth raters," i According to tho Billy McCarnoy expose, Fulton Is in the steerage class, and should bo moving pianos Instead of challenging Wlllard for the championship ot the world. . i , Tho popularity of municipal golf courses is shown In the, attendance figures .; for the past year on the big and small golf links In Jackson Park, Chicago. The total reached 308,174. During the month of August, 45.340 tickets were Issued, I.G60 for the IB-hole course and 18,780 for the smaller courses. During the sum- wer months play usually begins about 3:30 a. m. and lasts until It Is too dark , to see the bull. Heinle Zimmerman does not want to be moved over to second base on the ' Cubs next season. Manager Joe Tinker thinks Heinle belongs at second, but i says tt.at he will allow htm to remain at third If he could win the position from tha uther nien who were trying for the berth. He added-that the candidates foe ibrd basa were Joa Tinker and Phelan. There Is not much doubt where SttaimevmAn win play, with Tinker a candidate for third. Third base will not b tww to Tinker, as this was his original position, and he often played It for -Vvm when Harry oieiniciai was Peckball season Is here again. A call for candidates for spring football prac Uu,t Tulane. University, at New Orleans, has been issued. The men report to IMw and will work for three weeks, adjqurnlng then until April.

BUSHNELL It is taken for granted that there will be no moro bowl lights at the Unlcrslty of Pennsylvania, following tho fatal acci dent on Wednesday. Likewise the ficsh mait and sophomoro classes may be ex pected to abolish nil forms of class rushes. Now the sentiment Is running Btrongly toward the substitution of Intcrclnsa ath letics for the various rushes thnt have featured the first half of the present academic cnr. It Is a curious fact that within tho last decade while tho first and hccond-yenr men at Pennsylvania hao featured moro and more the lmportnnco of their srlous rushes and class flBhts,' tho interest In tho Interclass football, baseball, track and rowing contests for the Dean's trophy has been receding. Game Called Off Within the last few j cars n good many or these dual meetings hae gone by de fault, whereas they should have been capable of Just as much Interest and a whole lot more good than tho bowl light. Only this fall the annual football gamo between the two classes bad to be called oft because there was not enough Interest In It among the plnycrs. The same fate hns befallen many of the other class sports, so that today the students agreo that Interclass sports for tho Dean's tro phy nre a failure. Tho best way to make tho two classes revive these competitions Is for the upper classes to take as much Interest In them ns tho freshmen and sophomores havo taken to make Hiiro that no eligible mem ber of their classes dodges participation In tho bowl light. So keen baa been the spirit of class rivalry that moro than ono student has been branded n "quitter'' for most of his college course for refusing to take part In the bowl fight. The time Is now ripe for the upper classes to lend their Influence to tho movement, even to Insist, that the fresh men and sophomore classes shall hold their Interclass contests every year In at least tho four major sports of football, baseball, rowing and track. It Is through these sporta that tho first and second year men get their class numerals, and If this Is not Incentive enough to make them participate something else should be done. Interclass Contests Tho surest way to secure the revival of these Interclass athletic contests Is for the undergraduate committee, which has Jurisdiction over such matters, to take the initiative and even set dates for Inter class meetings In all such sports. It would be most unfortunate If the two classes should be permitted to arrange other nonathetlc forms of contest an substitutes for the class rushes. Not only should this rivalry be restricted to supervised, athletics, but it should be ex tended to all the classes. A dozen years ago there were Intorclass contests In all the major sports which aroused not only the University but the public as well. There was a round robin tournament in football, baseball and rawing and a big meet In track sports, Their revival now would be a good thing for the students end a splendid thing for all university sports.

But it didn't get caught. And so tho auto show continues on Its merry way without any "Jinx." other than the cheerless weather It has been up agalnat so far. Tho attendance each day has been gradually Increasing. The ery top In the attendance "curve" Is expected to bo reached tomorrow, which is tho last day of the show. Today tho crowds augur .ell for the extreme in terest rhlladclphlans aro taking in tho latest fashions of motordom. The out-of-the-ordlnary exnlblta continue to draw most of tho attention o: the rrnwflR. Tor instance, there Is a booth dlsplalng Camdcn-made oil. grease, soap and other like substances. This makes a rather dull display, so a stuffed panther wrinkles Its noso and prepares to spring at tho onlookers, .A workman was wiring i tho beast today and when a small boy l - asked him what was going to happen when he turned on tho power the man replied that the panther would sit on Its hind legs nnd bark. The small boy waited till the Job was completed and was rewarded by a red light being lit In tho animal's mouth. Hence, lubrica tion. The booth of the Owen Magnetic con tinues to be one of the most popular of the automobile booths. This Is the firm that makes tho humble statement that It has harnessed under easy control the power and efllclency of the gasoline mo tor, given It the flexibility of tie Bteam engine, as -well as the simplicity and con trol of tho electric. Tho car, which has been on the market scarcely a year, has had remarkable success and bids fair to revolutionize the system of gear shift ing Just as the builders claim. One man made the remark In the Metz booth that as soon as the car came out that had no gears to shift and didn't have pneumatic tires a person might be able to take out his car with some de gree of confidence. He was promptly baled Into the Owen booth, where he was shown the simplicity of the tiny lever on the steering gear which did all the work. He was also told that tires on the Owen last 13,000 mlle&. His long beard tuined up eagerly as he looked around at the handsome cars, but It sagged again when the price was whispered In his ear. The Oldsmoblle booth contains a roadster -which has the novel seat found on several cars 'at the show. But to Its deep depths there is apparently no gentle path. In fact It is an excessively long stretch from the running-board step to the rear seat. It Is one of the few seats .that members of the fair sex show no curiosity about sitting In.
