KIVALS ON BASEBALL DIAMOND ARE TRAINING FOR INITIAL TILT AT SOUTHERN CAM
BENNY KAUFF AND TY COBB
IN TRAINING FOR BASEBALL
.; GAMES TO BE PLAYED IN TEXAS
Famous Detroiter Has Never Started Work
- Before Spring1 Season Great Competition
Expected Between Star Outfielders
TWO hews Items of not moro than nvo lines, which nnngarod on sports pages
throughout tho country a fow days ago, presage one of the most unusual
.spring training series over staged In tho South. One slated that Hctiny Kauff
had started training In a gymnasium for tho coming season, adopting tactics
''similar' to thoso used by prize-fighters, to condition himself. Immediately nn
announcement was made that the wonderful Cobb had also gone Into training.
Cobb Is always In good condition, and In other years seldom went to tho train
ing camp until a few days beforo tho Detroit squad started on Its barnstorming
trip North! but tho threats of Denny Kauff to outshlno tho famous "Georgia
Peach" havo stirred tho American League star, and ho Is determined to bo In
prlmo shape this season.
t,, There Is method In the madness of both Kauff and Cobb In training hard
beforo their teams depart for the South. But llttlo has been said of tho series nr
langcd In Texas between tho Tigers nnd Giants; but It Is tho purpose of both Cobb
and Kauff to star in that scries. Tho "Georgia Peach" U anxious to show
Kauff up as a counterfeit, while Honny wants to convince the fans ho Is Cobb's
equal. As a result, ono of tho greatest spring sciles ever contested should tako
j" place when tho Giants nnd Tigers clash.
Tigers' Pitchers Want to Show Kauff Up
As a rule, managers nro very much against pitchers cutting loose In tho
v South; but It Is safe to predict that Manager Jennings, of tho Tigers, will havo
hone or two hurlcrs In prlmo shape to show Kauff up, and ono of them will bo
Harry Covalcskio, a southpaw, who, In the past, has boon almost unhlttablo for
a left-handed batsman.
In tho Federal League Kauff Jilt fcouthpaws just as well as he did right-handed
pitchers, and ho faced somo great portsldo twlrlers. Georgo Dauss is
another pitcher who Is effective against left-handed batsmen, though ho Is u
right handcr, nnd Jcnntngs probably will havo him in first-class shape. Neither
will be allowed to pitch himself out, but both will be permitted to put, by far,
more on the ball than Is customary at this time of the year.
If Kauff is as popular with his fellow-players In New York as he was
with" Brooklyn despito tho talcs about his conceit and bragging the Giant
hlirlers and players will do their best to aid Kauff In this great Individual duel
between tho two most-talked-of players in tho national game at tho present
jr; time. It should be a wonderful duel, nnd it Is a pity It cannot be staged in
lliitho North, unless both teams aro pennant winners in their respective leagues
Inland compete In a world's series.

n Pcnn Must Beat Yale Tonight
jj ' Penn's basketball flvo meets Yale tonight nnd It must win, or nil chance of
iililandlng tho Intercollegiate title will be lost. It Is possible for Pcnn to loso tonight
lli'and still finish in a. tie for first place; but It Is generally believed that tho Red and
J" Blue team will go to pieces against Cornell if tho Klls win tonight,
jjjj Tho defeat at tho hands of Princeton was a blow to followers of the Hed
"'and Blue, but It was not entirely unexpected, ns the Tigers have been virtually
Jj;un beatable on the homo floor this season. While Princeton has an excellent fim,
Jlt is likely to be beaten at least onco moro this season away from horn';, ml
iiijthercln lies Penn's great chance. Cornell has moro games to play than any "'.her
n;iteam In the league, and it Is fortunato for tho Ithacans that the sotiedulo
11, was arranged In this manner, as tho team Is Just finding Its stride now. Had
I'lilCorncll played moro league games earlier In the season, It Is likely they would
j!;now bo out of the race, as tho team played poorly earlier In the year.
I'M
JIJI Red and Blue Players Should be Rewarded
!J Penn will fnco another heavy team tonight, and one which Is credited with
Jono of the two Intercollegiate League victories over tho Red and Blue this
Jjwlnter. Tho Ells took advantage of its superior weight and a smaller floor than
it.iWelglitman Hall and completely smothered tho light Penn forwards. This
mibroke up tho Penn passing and mado tho light Red and Bluo youngsters helpless.
!i" Yale is likely to bo greatly surprised at tho differenco in Penn's play on
""the largo home floor, and whllo a hard game Is expected, the Red and Blue should
Jljwln with several points to spare. Thero Is still a great chance for Penn, but
(even If tho championship should bo lost, Coach Jourdct and tho players deserve
t.great credit for tho successful season. The regulars deserve their varsity letters
n'lfor tho splendid showing, although It Is a rule not to award tho varsity "P"
!!J!to the basketball five, unless It wins the championship.
Orton Says Meredith Will Star Outdoors
New York critics claim that "Ted" Meredith Is going back, and that tho
famous Penn flyer wilt not bo able to repeat his remarkable performanco of
winning tho quarter and half In the Intercolleglates this year. Coach Orton, of
the Red and Blue track team, Insists that Meredith will have tho greatest year of
his' sensational career when tho outdoor season starts, and Meredith himself bc-
i Uoves that ho will be better than ever. Lack of training Is given as tho reason
',', for tho frequent defeats of Meredith indoors this winter.
I, "Meredith Is not winning these Indoor races because ho has mado no attempt
to get in perfect trim," says Orton. "I bellove that Meredith must bo right to
repeat in both events In tho Intercolleglates and I don't think too much indoor
work is good for him. He Is running In these meets merely to accommodate tho
parties conducting them. "When the outdoor season starts Meredith will go Into
active training and will be stronger than ever. Ho will open tho eyes of tho
athletic world this season."
First Real Bifj Tennis Tournament Here in Winter
When tho school boys began their tournament yesterday on tho court of tho
i 1st Regiment Armory, the first real winter meet was begun In Philadelphia. Not
only will the boys complete their tournament, but tho men will compete In
singles and doubles and tho women will havo similar events.
This tournament is being conducted In conjunction with tho local sportsman's
how. It was begun earlier than the show because tho fact that there could bo
only one court placed In the armory makes It necessary that play continue all
through the day and a part of tho night, to completo the various ovents.
The court at the armory Is laid out on canvas. The lines are painted green.
!' Tho background is good and the overhead lighting makes night playing not only
possible, but also as good as It Is In the day.
Is It possible that Charles Weeghman, new owner of the Cubs, who operated
tho Federal League Club In Chicago, Is trying to deceive the public In order to
scare off wealthy men who might want to start another baseball war? In a
statement issued recently by Weeghman, he told of his tremendous losses In the
Federal League venture, but the books of the club which were taken Into court
during the suit Instituted by J. L. Sherlock against Weeghman show the losses
for 1914 -were only $27,000.
T,hls Is a large sum of money to drop In one season, but not anywhere near
what has been claimed. In his recent announcement, Weeghman evidently
included the cost of his new park In the losses. He stJJI has the park and the
Cubs will play on it In the future, so this can hardly be considered a dead loss,
The figures given out by Phil Ball, in St. Louis, also were greatly exaggerated.
Perhaps this statement, was also given out for the same purpose.
Alfred So Oro again has lost the world's three-cushion billiard title. Charley
Ellis, of Cleveland, came from behind In a sensational rally and beat the cbam
plpn in the final night's play after the Cuban had gotten a large lead. This is
about the sixth time De Oro has lost the title, but he always has been able to
regain It. If Ellis is successful in defending tho title against August Klekhefcr
in April, it may be a long- time before De Oro regains the title, as the Clove
lander is improving rapidly and Is but a youngster. The three days' plays at
AWnser's was spectacular, despite the fact that neither man averaged one.
Safety play kept tho averages down, but served to make the games sensational,
as many remarkable shots were made after safety plays.
For tho third time this winter "Hub" Perdue has been unconditionally
released. Whenever baseball news ia lacking in St. Louis, the Cardinals sell
Perdue to somo minor league, club. Perdue Immediately refuses to Join that
team and he is unconditionally released, but somehow or other the Cards con
tlnue releasing him after having given him the "unconditional" long ago,
', Reports from tho training camp of tho New York Americans Indicate that
' Manager Donovan has discovered a remarkable ball player in an 18-year-old
semi-pro from New York, named McGovern. This lad Is not any bigger than
; Stuffy" McJnnls, but Joined the Yanks as a first baseman. In the batting
practices, to date McGovern has amazed the veterans, Donovan Is anxious to
' tee what he will do when the pitchers start using all their stuff and the curve
balls aro breaking sharply.

JOE TINKER WILL STAKE HIS MANAGERIAL
REPUTATION ON RESULT OF 1916 CAMPAIGN
Greatest Problem Will
Be to Cut Down
Squad to Require
ments of League
By CHANDLER D. RICHTER
ARTICLE V. -
LAST summer when Joe Tinker was man
J aging the Chicago Federal League
club he Issued a challenge to the winners
of the National nnd American League
pennants on behalf of tho Chlfeds. Tho
fans contended that the challenge was
merely a little press agent yarn of tho
independent league, but Tinker Insisted
that It was his lioneM. belief that his
Chicago Fed team was stronger than any
in tho country.
Immediately after being appointed man
ager of the Cubs and the consolidation of
tho 1915 Cubs and Wlinles had been con
summated Tinker proed to tho fans that
he at least was slnucro by placing on
the market more than half the 191D Cub
team, which was good enough to lead
the National League up In August. At
the time Tinker declared that he had to
nnd room for his Federal League stars,
who he felt ccitain would piove s-'ronger
than tho 1915 Cubs.
As manager of the Cubs Tinker will be
gien a chance to prove to tho baseball
world that the Federal League was not
a Joke league from a playing standpoint.
From a financial point of view tho league
was surely a frost, but It is barely pos
sible that Tinker had a much stronger
team than followers of organized ball are
willing to believe.
If Tinker's Federal League team was
ns strong as he claims, he should win the
pennant In tho National League race, as
tho addition of such pl.iycrs as Zimmer
man nnd Saler to tho infield, Archer to
the catching staff, Williams and Schulto
to tho outfield and Vaughn, Lavender nnd
a few others to the pitching staff are
surely a wonderful help.
When tho two teams had consolidated
Tinker surely had a wonderful aggrega
tion on paper, but as he Is gradually cut
ting down the squad, the Cubs do not look
nearly so formidable ns they did at tho
tlmo the deal was made. Tinker was a
wonderfully bright ball player, but Is yet
to prove, himself a capable manager, and
many of baseball's brightest men are In
clined to the belief that Joe will be a
hindrance Instead of a help to the team.
Knows the Game
Tinker knows the game from beginning
to end, Is a splendid man personally and
apparently thero Is no reason why he
should not be a success; but he seems to
go wrong every time It 13 necessary to
exercise snap Judgment. Poor Judgment
and failure to control himself caused
Tinker to fall at Cincinnati In his first
trial as a innnager. If he has mastered
self-control, the Cubs will be a hard team
to beat, but If ho has not, there Is no tell
ing where they will finish.
Thero are a number of temperamentnl
stars on Tinker's payroll, and they will
not make Joe's path any easier If. things
break badly In tho early part of trje sea
son. One thing In Tinker's favor Is his
fighting spirit. He will not quit under
fire, and come of the temperamental stars
may not be able to get away with as
much on him as they did on Hank O'Day
and Itoger Bresnahan.
Baseball men do not believe that Tinker
.will have a strong enough combination
about second base unless he Is In shape
to play short with Doolan shifted over to
second. They argue that Doolan is going
back and cannot hit, while Yerkes Is below
the major league standard. It Is con
tended that Tinker could stand a weak
hitter In one of these position, but that the
rest of the team cannot carry two weak
hitters and Blow runners, as will be the
case with both Doolan and Yerkes in the
line-up.
Last spring It was contended that Pat
Moran had too many slow runners on his
team, and that It would be a second divi
sion club because Its offense, barring an
occasional home run, would be worthless;
but Moran de eloped a powerful attack by
constantly crossing his opponents. Tinker
has many brainy ball players and may do
likewise. He Is at least willing to stake
everything on his Federal Leaguers, and
has proven conclusively that ho was
serious when he claimed the Whales were
worthy opponents for any team in organ
ized ball.
Tinker's greatest task will be In cutting
down his squad to comply with the 21-

MANAGER JOE TINKER
player limit, but still Joe does not seem
to bo satisfied and Is even at this time
dickering for two or three players who
nro on tho market. At tho present time
tho Cubs have so many pitchers of recog
nized nblllty that Tinker will have a hard
time making his final selection, although
unfortunately thero aro no real stars on
tho staff; but the new leader Is negotia
ting for Packard, tho star southpaw of
the Kansas City Feds.
Unless tho sale for Packard Is consum
mated tonight, ho will revert back to Cin
cinnati, which team ho Jumped, but Man
ager Hcrzog told tho writer when he was
In this city last week that ho did not want
tho southpaw star on his team, although
he admitted he Is a great pitcher.
Tinker Is not anxious to pay an enor
mous price to Harry Sinclair for Pack
ard's rclcaso and probably will try to ar
range a trado or purchase with the Reds.
There nro two other players who are
wanted by Tinker, which indicates that Joe
Is not nearly so optimistic as ho was a.
few weeks ago.
Quartet of Feds
The Cubs are banking upon a quartet
of Federal League pitchers to show great
form, but In this they may bo disap
pointed. Hendrlx, Brown, Prendergast
and McConnell are the twlrlers Tinker In
tends to carry from the Whales of 1916,
but aside from Hendrlx: none of these
men are likely to be much of a help, It
Brown's knee la strong, the grand old
veteran may prove valuable ns a pinch
pitcher, but so far as regular duty is con
cerned the day has passed for the famous
hurler.
Tinker has much better pitching mate
rial from the 191G Cub team than ho will
get from his Federal League aggregation,
Cubs This Season Will
Place Hope for Vic
tory in Players Got
ten From Federals
and with two high-class pitchers In Archer
and Bill Fischer, formerly of Brooklyn,
ho has two excellent coaches, If they aro
allowed a free hand.
Last summer Bresnahan worked hit
pitchers poorly, and as a result tho staff
went completely to pieces In mldsenson.
With Hendrlx for a headlincr, there Is no
reason why tho Cubs should not have a
great pitching stnlT. Jim Vaughn, tho
giant southpaw, will do much better work
for Tinker than ho did for Bicsnahan, and
the same is true of Jimmy Lavender, Phil
Douglas and Zabel.
Great Prospect
The latter looked like a great prospect
at the start of tho 1915 season, but fre
quent rows with Bresnahan, which re
sulted In his suspension, spoiled his work
Douglas Is nnother pitcher with a great
future before htm if he keeps in condi
tion. Tinker had Intended to release
Douglas and had mado alt arrangements
for his transfer to a Pacific Coast League
team, but has decided ho will gtvo him
another chance.
Behind the bat the Cubs will bo stronger
than any team in tho National League, In
eluding tho Phillies, even if Killelfer Is
In shape. Fischer nnd Archer aro both
far nbovo tho average and Arthur Wil
son, another high-class catcher, has been
sold to Pittsburgh, where ho will bo first
catcher, with tho veteran Gibson as second-string
mnn.
Tho make-up of tho Cub infield depends
entirely upon whether Tinker Is In shape
to play. If Tinker plays short, Mike
Doolan will bo moved over to second, with
Zimmerman on third nnd Saler on first.
This would make a powerful combination,
but with either Yerkes or Zclder on sec
ond tho infield would bo weakened almost
50 per cent.
Tinker has decided Hint Zwilling and
Flack would be regulars In tho Cub out
field, whllo It is virtually certain that Cy
Williams must play the other position.
Zwilling has not been seen In this city
since lie was a recruit with the Braves
four years ago. while Flack has never
played here. Both may be stars, as
Tinker claims, but local fans refuse to
believe that either classes with Williams.
For outfield utility duty. Tinker Intends
to carry Mann, of tho 19H Braves, and
"Wildfire" Schulte. The latter Is the sole
survivor as a player, if Tinker remains
on the bench and Brown falls, of the fam
ous Cub machine of 1906, Archer not hav
ing Joined the team until later.
If tho Cub team does not flnlBh one.
two or three, Tinker will be voted a fail
ure as manager, as ho surely had the
material at hand to develop n wonderful
team at the time tho clubs were merged.
Already he has made several moves
which were severely criticised, but time
alone will tell whether ho really pulled
a "bone" In allowing several players to
go to other clubs.

THE Franklin Engine has no water to carry
it is freed of the 177 parts of the com
plicated water-cooling system, and free of
all the annoyances that go with water-pumping
mechanism.
If you want a clear idea of just what it
means to get rid of these 177 water-cooling
parts, step into a local repair shop. Look at
the honey-comb radiator, with its 5000 cells,
its pipes, pump, connections a complex sys
tem of small-bore water passages, inviting
trouble from leaks, from mud and sediment,
from freezing and boiling.
Have you over thought how much gaiollno you
waita in keeping thoso 177 parts on the job?
Or how often you have to give it n drink, how
many timet it needs blanketing, the antifreezing
mixture you have to buy for it?
One man said he knew from experience that it
is easier to build those parts than to take care of'
theml . '
Look at the Franklin Engine! The only moving
par in the Direct-Air-Cooling System is the air
suction fan, and that fan is itself part of the fly f,
wheel.
