ONE YEAR BROUGHT ABOUT GREAT CHANGE IN POSITIONS OF PHILLIES AND
CONDITIONS REVERSED A.S
' PHILLIES AND ATHLETICS
PREPARE FOR 1916 SEASON
Megan's Team Were Dubs One Year Ago, but
Champions Now, While Mack's Pennant
Winners Are Tailenders
BASBDALTj will be omclally under way for Philadelphia tomorrow when tho
Thllllea leave for the training camp nt St. Petersburg, Fla. Ono year oro
Manager Moran took virtually tho same niiind to St. Petcrsburi;, but at that
time it looked like a hopeless second division aggregation. The Phils were
royally eroded in the 'Southern city, but tho fans took no more than a passing
Interest in Moran'n team because they did not think It would amount to much.
This year they are returning to St. Petersburg an champions of tho National
League, and It Is safe to predict that tho reception given the tnon will not be
forgotten for somo tlmo to come.
Tuesday tho Athletics will depart for Jacksonville Ono year ago tho Mack
men arrived In Jacksonville as champions of tho American Lcaguo and heralded
far and wide as tho "famous Mack machine" Tho team finished In last place
In tho American Lcaguo raco. Was thero over a greater example of tho un
certainty of the great national game?
As ono looks back upon tho events of tho year, it Is easy to understand
lust how this Btrango reversal of tho dope occurred, but skipping over tho
events of tho summer, a most unusual condition exists. It Is this uncertainty
that has mado baseball tho national game.
What Will the Next Six Months Bring?
What will happen during tho next six months? Will tho Athletics shock
the baseball world Just as tho Phillies did, and will tho Phils disappoint the fans?
On form thero Is llttlo chanco for another completo reversal, but one can
nover tell what will happen In baseball. Tho Phils nro taking a veteran aggrega
tion to tho training camp. It Is reasonably certain that there will be no "dark
hsrsea" in tho squad who will win positions from regulars. Tho team can
bo but little stronger from a playing standpoint, nnd must win tho pennant If It
I to bo won on team work and an Improved brand of pitching.
Tho Athletics nro in tin entirely different position. With but few exceptions
every position on tho team will" bo open. Recruits will be tried out nt nil
positions but first haso and centre field, nnd If they do not measure up to the
mark thero will bo moro recruits on hand when tho team roturns from the
South. If any ono were to predict that tho Mnckmon would even flnlsh In the
first division, ho would bo laughed nt; but stranger things havo happened.
Minor Leagues Reorganizing Throughout the Country
Minor leagues which blew up last season aro reorganizing throughout the
country, und by April 1 It Is believed that thero will bo 50 ready to oporate.
Prosldont Tenor, of tho National League, recently predicted that at least 40
would take tho Held, whereas only 116 finished in 1915. Since Tener Issued his
statement, tho Canadian, Nebraska State, Texas-Oklahoma, Vermont nnd Arizona
State Leagues havo decided to try It again.
Tho baseball war cut down profits of tho major league teams, but tho tmall
leagues were tho real sufferers. Last spring It was predicted In these columns
that tho Federal rnlds would forco tho small leagues to close their gates because
in tho majority of cases the salo of players Is tho only source of revenue to a
Ty" minor leaguo club, as tho gato rccelptH
majors feared to purchase minor leaguers. It Is estimated that 5000 ball players
wero out of employment last summer. Many promising youngsters ontored
business, but tho luro of tho diamond Is proving too strong and they are gradually
falling In line.
Browns Made Wise Move in Buying Campbell
Phil Ball,' new owner of tho Browns, is tho llrst president of a major lcaguo
club in St. Louis to appreclato tho value of it winning team In the Missouri
city. St. Louis is ono of the best baseball cities In tho country If a good brand of
ball is provided, and will prove ono of tho greatest money makers in either league.
Sail realizes this and Is spending money lavishly to get a winning toam.
Tho purchasing of A'in Campbell was a master stroke. Critics aro in
clined to ridicule the Idea of Ball buying a high-priced star when he was already
well equipped with outfielders, but It was a wise move, as It will glvo Jones
somo excellent trading mntorlal. The Browns are weak In tho Infield nnd
there wero no star Federal Leaguo lnfielders on tho market. There are several
good men In the American Leaguo who will bo forced to play substitute, and
dheof-theso can bo secured In a trade for ono of the Browns' extra outfielders.
A trade of this sort may completely upset tho dope In tho American Leaguo race.
. The New Ty Cobbs Are at It Again
The Ty Cobbs are burning up tho training camps at tho present time, while
all pitchers are dubs. In a few weeks when the pitchers start cutting loose and
tho curve balls begin to break, the Ty Cobbs will merely have their names In
tho Yanlgan line-up, while the old guard will bo whaling out the base hits.
The easo with which youngsters get their hits In the early spring practlco
before tho pitchers aro right really acts against them. When they face good
p'tchlng later In tho training season, they aro helpless and lose confidence.
Mack discovered this long ago and that Is why he sends his twlrlers South before
the regulars when ho Is building a new team.
"Slim" Love Is Tallest Player in Baseball
"Slim" Love, tho southpnw recruit pitcher purchased by the New York
Americans from Loh Angeles, of tho Pacific Coast League, Is tho tallest man
playing ball today. Love stands C feet T& Inches in height, which gives
him the edge on Carl Wellman, Grover Laudermllk and a few other giants.
'"Wild Bill" Donovnn Is trying to develop Love's drop ball, believing that he
will bo a marvel If ho can perfect thW delivery. Lovo has an excellent fast
ball and with a fast-breaking drop would bo Invincible pitching from tho
raised mounds now In vogue In tho major leaguo parks.
Creehan Predicts De Oro Is Through as Billiard Star
John Creehan, the oldest billiard critic in tho United States, declares that
Alfredo De Oro Is about through as a three-cushion billiard expert and will never
regain his title. According to Creehan, the lead De Oro had over Ellis, starting
the last night of tho three-cushion match at Alllnger'a Academy, waa equivalent
to 300 points at the balkllne game, but that tho now champion discovered
that Do Oro waa not the De Oro of old, and gained confidence which enabled
him to win out in a sensational finish. Creehan believes that In the future
other players will have more confidence against the Cuban and will not be
"beaten before tho match starts," as has been tho case.
Central High Clinches Scholastic Basketball Title
Central High School clinched the Interscholastlc Basketball League title by
smothering West Philadelphia High yesterday. Thero was little to the game,
lis the Crimson and Gold completely outclassed the West Philadelphlans. Had
it not been for tho great work of Mearkle, West Phllly's star forward, tho score
would have been doubled. Mearkle threw 21 foul goals out of 24 tries, which Is

A Pittsburgh scribe la Indignant because a New Yorker insinuated that
Bill Hinchman, tho Phlladelphlan who starred In the outfield for tho Pirates last
season, was no longer a "spring chicken," The Plttsburgher declares that Bill
haa not passed the 30th milestone yet. Those who have known Bill from
childhood merely grin. We will not venture a guess at Bill's exact age, but he
waa a. mighty big boy 15 years ago. After all, what does It matter as long as
Bill can play as well as ho did in 1916?
,
s When tennis fans gather to discuss the dope and talk shifts to players
who aro exponents of bark-hand play, Teddy Pell's back hand is always used
an a basis for comparison. As a matter of fact, ono of the city's best players,
Aleo Thayer, haa a back hand that is every bit aa good as Pell's, and some
think it ia better. Like Pell, Thayer is weak in fore-hand strokes.
The match played between Thayer and B. C. Hall, of Moorestown, In the
second round of tho indoor championship at the 1st Begiment Armory last
nlg.bnovaa a mixture of good and bad tennis. Both players ascended to great
heghw and fell to correspondingly low depths. The first Bet, which went to 30
fames, -was the longest ever played in a local tournament and equaled in
nsth ,tne ramous first, sei or. me maicn Deiween aiciougnnn ana Jrooks for
e Davl3 Cup two years ago.
It Is generally agreed that the men's singles event will eventually resolve
,elf into a duel between Willis E, Davis, the California State champion, in
the tipper bracket, and the winner of the semifinal between W. T, Tllden, 2d,
and Wallace F. Johnson in the lower half of the draw.

MORAN MUST K. 0.
WILLARD TO WIN
IN BIG CONTEST
Height and Reach Will
Prove Big Handicap
for Contender
BOUT WILL BE SLOW
By GRANTLAND UICB
ChnrleB Francis Mor.in is n game. In
telligent citizen. Moreover, he Iuih ot
tached unto his system u wallop of unusual
potency.
IIo is honent, onrncit and llltahlo, or. as
R P. A. might put It. "aBlfablo."
But considering his weight, powor,
speed, leneh nnd pklll in comparison with
.Tchb Wlllard's, only a vl Irt Imagination
can depict Moran in a victor's role for the
night of March 25. v
About Willard
To move along tho highway nf logic,
you can find It out In this fashion:
Willard, with nn nlmost impregnablo
Jaw, that long, prodding left and a stnnch
defense with grcntcr reach, greater
speed and more skill Is almost suro to
outpoint Moran over the 10-round route
In the first fight Jim Coffey had landed
three blows to one until Moran Itnoclied
him out. In the second fight Corfoy was
leading by the same wide margin until
tho old haymaker arrived n. tho vicinity
of his Jaw.
Moran can hardly outpoint Willard If
both last the 10 rounds. He Isn't the out
pointing kind. With both men on their
feet at tho flnlnh it Is 5 to 1 that Willard
will have the lead In points.
The Knockout
To win," therefore, Moran must Unock
Willard out. Ho must knock out a man In
10 rounds that no ono has ever, been able
to knock down : a man that Johnson
couldn't knock out In 25 rounds; a man
greatly Improved In boxing sclenco and
defensive tactics
Thero Is always the chance, of course;
hut no ch.ince we'd caro to back with any
kale For Willard. unlike Coffey, can take
a carload of punishing blows without wilt.
Ing. He will be hard to hit In any vul
nerable spot, but even if reached it Is un
likely the punch will be a wrecking affair
The New Willard
Wo saw Wll trd give battle In the hal
cyon white hope days of Carl Morris ct al
He was about as sad a sketch as tho ring
has shown. Then ho had little but mere
bulk.
Wo saw Willard again In his first work
outs for tho Moran engagement. But It
waBn't the samo Willard. The now Wil
lard was nearly 25 pounds heavier. But
he was also faster, with an SO per cent.
Improvement In his lighting style.
He Isn't any Corbett, Fltzslmmons or
Jeffries yet In ring speed or ring skill.
But ho Is far beyond the range of the
old lumbering giant of two years ago.
How can Moran slip by that left of
Wlllard's? That 80-Inch reach, tapping,
prodding, always In the way of an ad
vance? For the Willard left and the
Coffey left nre not tho same. The Kansan
haa jolting power In these lefts beyond
any other boxer, now that Johnson has
passed on and out. A few of these planted
on Moran's frontispiece are likely to have
a blurring, dazing effect, however game
the blonde might be.
As to the Fight
Ordinarily the chance for a good fight
between boxers of the Willard-Moran type
would be poor.
Moran Is slow. Bugged, hard hitting,
game but slow.
Willard, no speed marvel at his best.
Is a slow starter. Bach respects the
artillery carried by the other. Thero Is
liable to be a strong drift toward de
fensive fighting which Is poor stuff for a
10-round exhibition.
This alone can make the match a good
one the realization on the part of both
that they are on trial; that over $100,000
has been paid In to see what they have
to offer; that they are to get $70,000 for
30 minutes' work over J2Q00 a minute.
Realizing this, it should be up to both
men to start from the gong and go to
It pack all the action possible In those
30 costly minutes In an attempt to win
as decisively as possible.
Will they? tWe don't know, The ten
dency to play It safe with no referee's
decision awaiting Is a strong one. It la
the system that Freddie Welsh has been
following for a long time.

"Keating can lick Meehan. He seen

'Jack what do you think o' that awful

lick another boxer, the other boxer cer
tainly Is a bum.
And He Has Confidence
"I says to Jack, 'He's a awful rough guy
and this funny stuff he pulls Is done to
get the other guy sore and get his goat.'
An' Jack says, That fat stiff can't get
my goat in a million years,' which shows
that Jack has lots of confidence.
Take It from me, Keating will knock
Meehan outa th' bulldln' If they ever mix.
I know the dope. Meehan ain't got no

nnd ho probably will bo seen thero again
boon. His "whirling punch" mado a big
lilt, but It took the spcctatois somo time
to get onto it.
"You picked a pretty rajr nnmo for that
punch when you labeled it tho 'whirling
punch,' " says Johnny. "But I think you
made It appear too ladylike I don't want
to butt into anybody else's business, but
if you will allow mo I'd like to change It
to the 'Texas Tommy twist.' I llko that
namo hocauso I got tho Idea in a dance
hall in 'Frisco a couple of years ago.
"1 was watching tho dancers and saw
how the fellows giabbed their girls by
ono nrm, turned them oyjund and grab
them again after they completed a circle.
Tho Toxas Tommy was the real dance at
that time, and soon I was doing It. 1 liked
it very much, and was n. regular patron
at the dances for many months. And I
tell ynu I could whirl the girls about as
nifty as tho next one.
Tries "It" on Gibbons
"Last year when I was In Minneapolis
I did considerable boxing with Miko Gib
bons. Mlko was protty big for mo. but he
was fast nnd could hit like the kick of a
mule, and my workouts with him Im
proved my dofeiiHo. Ono day whllo we
were boxing wo clinched. Unconsciously
as wo were breaking away I grabbed his
arm the same as I grabbed tho arms of
my dancing partners In Frisco and ho
turned around. As ho faced me again
ho was off balance, and I pasted hlm ono
right on tho chin. Wo wore heavy gloves,
but tho blow almost floored Mike. 'Hoy,
what are you trying to do?' gaBped Mike
'What did you hit mo with and how did
you do It?"
"Well, I practiced that twist again and
Mike fell for It every time. He got to
using it himself afterward. It's a swell
stunt to pull, and I havo scored many
knockouts with it. You are the first to
write up, so I want to put you right on
the proper name for it. It3 tho Texas
Tommy Twist." "
All right, Johnny, It's your own stuff
and you have the right to name It what
you please.

SPECIFIC ACTION
WILL BE TAKEN
ON SUMMER BALL
Intercollegiate A. A. May
Not Make Pro of Student
Who Accepts Board
FACULTY TO DECIDE
Every Intercollcglnto nthlctlc associa
tion In the country Is looking forward
with tho keenest interest to tho annual
convention of the Intorcolleglnto Associa
tion of Amateur Athletes of America on
Saturday. This Is because It promises tho
only specification likely to bo taken this
year to solvo tho "summer ball" problem.
And, curiously enough, vthe I. C. A. A. A.
A. Is supposed to dovoto Itself to track
and field athletics, not baseball.
Tho Executive Committee of this body
has drawn up certain amendments to tho
eligibility code, which If adopted by tho
association will not necessarily debar a
man from athletics because he has played
summer baseball. Tho I, C. A. A. A. A.
recognizes tho fact that thero aro condi
tions under which a collego man may
legitimately play baseball In tho summer
nnd oven accept free board without being
branded as n professional for tho remain
der of his life.
Tho proposed changes In tho amateur
code will specify these conditions, and
among other things pass a rulo by which
tho proper faculty athletic authorities
may first npprovo the conditions so that
a Htudent's nmatcurlsm may bo safe. This
rulo Is not suggested primarily in tho In.
terosts of the summer baseball player, for
It Is Intended to cover tho caso of tho
track man who also plays baseball. But
if It Is approved It will furnish a prece
dent for tho authorities to legislate di
rectly on the baseball question.
In tho meantime tho basoball authori
ties of all our big universities will feel
their laxity In not either organizing an
Intercollegiate Baseball Association to
deal with tho question or calling a con
ference. It Is hard to expect the I. C. A.
A. A. A. to solve all the alleged evils of
college sports.
The greatest high Jumping contest of
tho year will be seen when the A. A. U,
championships are held In New York on
March IS. It will bring together A. W.
Richards, of Cornell University, the
Olympic champion; Wesley Oler, of Yale,
Intercollegiate chnmplon nnd record
holder; Joo Loomls, of Chicago, and Harry
Barwise, of Boston. Those four men nro
all able to do 6 feet 3 Inches or better.
The record Is only 6 feet 2 Inches, mado
by Sam Lawrence, tho old Harvard
jumper, in ID11, so a new mark Is almost
certain.
As a further Incentive to good Jumping
the management will provide a cork mat
for the takeoff. Not only will this per
mit tho jumpers to wear spiked shoes, but
the natural resiliency of cork ought to
further help tho men, but since cork run
ning tracks were criticised for the easo
with which they make record breaking
performances possible there Is likely to?
bo some criticism If the high jumpers
make new marks under this condition.
