EVENING LEDGER-PIIIkADELPniA, WEDMSDAY, MARCH I, 1910-
EfPARIXEY IS REPORTED TO RE A PHILLY HOLD-OUT, BUT HE PROBABLY WILL SIGN UP
PAT MORAN MAY NOT PERMIT
EPPA RIXEY TO REPORT AT
CAMP BEFORE HE SIGNS UP
. Southpaw Reported to Be Hold-out, but
Friends Declare That He Is Ready
to Join the Phillies Again
Wllit Pat Moran permit Eppa tiixoy to dodjjo tho spring training trip and
report In Juno In poor condition? Klxey was still a student nt tho
University" of Virginia when ho stencil with tho Phillies, nnd for two years wan
permitted to ilttend college until tho end of tho term Instead of Joining tho
team. Each season ho was expected to report after tho close of college In perfect
trim and ready to tako his regular turn on tho mound, but ho failed to do It.
Last year Moran Insisted that Itlxey report at tho training camp. Ho re
ceived" much valuable coaching In tho South and had tho best season of his
career; but oven this was not entirely satisfactory. Itlxey has been one of tho
greatest disappointments In years from a Phllly standpoint.
The giant Virginian apparently has everything necessary to mnlto him n
great pitcher, but ho cannot seem to learn anything. Itlxey Is unusually bright
In other ways, but does not pick up baseball knowledge as well as tho lot recruit
who had not hod tho benefit of n collcgo or high school education. Still ho
Insists on trying to dodgo tho training trip, which after nil Is tho best school of
baseball.
Rixey Ilcportcd to be a Hold-Out
Itlxey Is reported as a holdout, but Washlngtonlans who know tho Vir
ginian well, Insist that tho "hold-out story" Is merely a bluff to enable tho
southpaw to remain In tho capital until June. At tho present time Itlxoy Is
teaching at the Episcopal High School In Washington ami docs not want to
leavo. as he prefers tho work to baseball.
If Moran is willing to increase his salary to such an evtent tlmt ho will
bo receiving moro than the amount he loses by giving up his position, RKey says
he might bo tempted to report at St Potcrsbui- Saturday. It Is not lellccd
that Manager Moran will give In to ItKey, nnd It ho does ho Is storing up trouble
for himself for tho future.
If Itlxey thinks moro of teaching than of baseball, let him rctlro from tho
game and devote all his tlmo to It. Willis It Is admitted that n ball player can
not last forever and must proparo for the future, thero Is no reason why a
business which pays as much money as tho national pastime should bo used as
a side Issue by a man who owes his roputntlon nnd success to It.
Must Sign Before He Reports at Camp
It Is certain that Illxoy will not bo permitted to teport nt tho training camp,
even to talk tho mattor over with Moran, until ho has signed his contract or
accepted terms. Managor Moran intimated that ho would relcaso ItKey un
conditionally, suspend or sell him If ho docs not report at tho training camp,
and It Is hoped that he will go through with It.
With a powerful and well rounded staff, RKey Is not a necessity on what ho
has shown in the past, and though he should bo developed into a most valuablo
hurler, ho would not bo missed, as he probably never will star If ho Is going to
plaxo other Interests ahead of baseball.
"Pass Out" Checks for St. Louis Fans
Schuyler Brltton, president of tho St. Louis National Lcaguo Club, must
be Interested In tho summer garden and saloon across the street from Robinson
Field. He has decided to Issue "pass out" checks, such as are used by theatres,
to enable spectators to come In and out of tho park at will. This Is ono of
tho most ridiculous moves ever made by a major lcaguo president, nnd tho
National League would do well to instruct Brltton to rescind tho order. Baseball
la a continuous performance, excepting for the brief Intermission between double
headers, and If a fan tires of an exhibition he should leavo tho -park. There were
too many disgraceful scones In St. Louis a few years ago, due to tho sale of
liquor In the park, for the owners to encourage persons to leave tho park and
go to tho beer garden across the street. Everything else that a fan could wish
for can be purchased lnsldo tho park, and there is no need for "pass out" checks
Managor Mack declares that tho St. Louis Club will make a serious mlsUko
If it allows tho fans this privilege. He says: "There is no need for 'pass out
checks in baseball, and It should not be permitted Baseball is a continuous per
formance, and if a fan is not satisfied with tho exhibition let him leavo for good.
This passing in and out of a ball park nt will is going to cause trouble, in moro
ways than one."
Pete Hustings Aided American League
A-faremInda us that wo overlooked two of tho greatest achievements of
Mack's career In tho development of pitchers, and asks if wo havo entirely for
gotten Berthold "Pete" Hustings and Rube Waddell? Neither of these men was
mentioned In yesterday's comment because they wero developed moro than nlno
yeara ago. '
It might bo well to mention that Pete Hustings did moro for tho American
Lcagno in Philadelphia than any other player, barring Waddell, nnd has never
received a bit of credit. Hustings was picked up by the Athletics after Boston
had released him after tho training season of 1902. Ho was Just out of collego
-nnd absolutely green. With tho aid of Mike Powers, Mack developed Hustings
Into a star in a remarkably short spaco of time.
Waddell Got Credit for First Pennant
Hustings carried tho pitching burden for the Mnckmen during tho first half
of the season, and If It had not been for him tho team would have aeen so far
back, that tho sensational work of Waddell, who Joined tho club In mldseason,
would not havo carried tho team to the top. Waddoll received all tho credit for
the winning of the first pennant Philadelphia had won in 21 years, but Hustings
was the real hero of tho season. That ono season made tho American League In
Philadelphia. Prior to that time tho Phillies had a great team and were out
drawing the Slackmcn, but after mldseason of 1902 tho Phillies dropped Into
last position and tho Athletics at lost drew the fans. Hustings retired the
following season to practice law In Milwaukee and was for years president of tho
WUconsln-IHInois League.
Cornell Out of Basketball Running
Dartmouth's surprising victory over Cornell at Ithaca eliminates Sliarpe's
team from the championship running. Cornell must win every game, Including
contests with Princeton und Penn, to finish on even terms with tho Red and
Blue and Tigers. If Cornell has slumped bndly enough to permit Dartmouth to
defeat it, there apparently Is little chanco for tho Ithacans to beat both Penn
and Princeton.
The failure of tho Cornell five to carry off tho championship was a distinct
surprise to followers of tho collegiate game. Coach Sharpo had eight veterans
from hla 1914-191C team available, but instead of improving tho Ithacans went
back. Too much individual play, which Sharpo could not break up even by
switching the line-up, was responsible for Cornell's downfall.
Jones, who has played regularly at guard for the Penn five throughout the
season, Is to bo benched In favor of "Joe" Connolly, the former La Salle star,
unless ho shows a decided Improvement In his work during practice for tho rest
of the week. Until the Princeton game Jones had shown signs of Improvement;
but hla poor work and constant fumbling Is generally believed to have been
the main cause of Penn's defeat at the hands of the Tigers, as the team became
"rattled after Jones went to pieces.
-x t
Cleveland fans are greatly excited over tho purchase of "Chick" Gandll from
Washington. If Gandll could show his 1913 form he would be n wonderful
help to the Indians, but when the warm weather sets In It Is likely his legs will
&o back on him again. Qandll Is still a good hitter, but from midsummer on Is
virtually useless, and Washington will not miss him with Joo Judg3 to tako
care of first base.
George Chip or Mlko Gibbons would havo a chance "literally to coin
money" ir either decides on a trip to Australia, according to a dispatch. That
would be a delightful pastime, but one grave difficulty In the way of literally
coining money Is that Governments have a stern way of objecting to that
operation being added under the head of "popular Indoor sports."
s
- liana Wagner, the Pirates' veteran Inftelder, may be the greatest all-around
man. in baseball, but Wilbur Robinson, manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, looks
to be further all around.
Frank Baker, former Mackman and home run king, will have another
chance against the Glanta now that he Is a member of Bill Donovan's Yankees,
either In a world's series or an Intraclty series next fall.

re You Satisfied with

Value in Your Carl
STEP Into a Used Car Dealer's ahop and see
the depreciation in cars.
Too much machinery, too much wear
and tear for it is the mechanical complexity
of the average car that drives its upkeep cost so
unreasonably high, and cuts down its value so
quick.
The motorist who takes efficiency as his
measure of value, rather than quantity of
mechanism, should know the Franklin Car
the most advanced type of motor construction
in the automobile world.
Think what Franklin Simplicity means to
the man who owns a Franklin.
