IS f r VI ATHLETICS L ,- .rt-iT-N T l-.m ATHLETICS LET AS TEMPERATURE GETS FALL IN CAMP AT Manager Mack Orders Young Players Out; in Open Air Despite Cold Weather By CHANDLER D. RICIITER JACKSONVIIjM!, Kin. March 18 mitR weather forecast was correct and ft 1 today th Athletics' battery candidates started practice trim mo utcrmomeicr not much above the freezlnc point and tho Bind blowing n gale. Tho sudden change could not have como at a more Inoppor tune time, as tho pitching stnff was rapidly rounding Into form nnd tho men jeers beginning to show the benefit of tho drilling they had received from Manager rtck nnd Ira Thomas. Mack was bitterly disappointed, hut took an optimistic view of tho misfortune. Connie says that the rest may do the men d lot of good, but ho adds that It would pa bad If the cold spell continued for more than a day or two. "We could not expect to havo wonder ful weather nil tho time," said Mack. "I admit that this cold spell caino at a mighty bad time as tho boys needed a few more good days to put them In first-clans Irim. Many of them will havo to Mart 111 over again and It means a loss of about two weeks. Terhaps a few of the pitchers will benefit by tho rest, as they havo been coins too hard, but sovornl needed moro work now that they have worked the sore ness out of their arms, -while Murphy nnd Jerkins also needed good weather to Irlnff them around. "I guess wo were pretty lucky to get as much work dono as we did before the ridden change. That Is why I kept tho boys at It hard aftor tho rain yesterday. I t Is all in mo game unu, wmio u nuns, nifss wo can survive It. ns wo nro not counting upon winning the pennant Just yet" When asked If thero was any chance lor mo praciico to ue uunuu uil ciiureiy for a few days, Mack said that he would keep them out In tho air ns long as poa Bible and that tho outdoor excrclso would be good for them, even If It did get too cold to work as much as tho squad has for the last four dnys. Little was accomplished In tho practlco yesterday afternoon and tho high wind itiffencd up soveral of tho cripples ; they probably would not havo been ablo to work much today oven If tho weather had been favorable. Hack called tho men together for n. meeting prior to tho start for tho half park and much of tho tutoring which should havo been dono nt IJarr's Field was dono Indoors. Catcher Bill Murphy awoke this morn ing with plenty of ginger nnd declared that he 'did not feel Btlfr. "When Bill put his nose out tho front door ho groaned. Everything appears to bo breaking against the Iilnghamton youngster. He has been stilt and soro since the first day nut, and also has been Injured twice In the prac tice games. Murphy Is not worrying any and declares that ho will bo satisfied If ho Is in good trim when tho regulars arrive. believes that tho battlo for tho first as sistant to Schang will not start until tho regulars appear, nnd Is conlldcnt that he will land tho position. "Chief Myers worked out for batting practice for tho first tlmo yesterday after noon, and while he did not attempt to put anything on the ball, showed great speed. Manager Mack Is confident that he had a worthy successor to Uendcr In tho Raleigh recruit. Ho also has great confidence In Myers" Judgment and la allowing lilm to condition himself ns ho sees fit. Myers Is the only pitcher In tho camp who Is per mitted to train himself. Connie Is not pushing Wyckoff or Hush, but they are re quired to do 'a certain amount of work, whereas Myers Is working only when ho so desires. Tho lanky lad is sure of a regular turn on tho mound nnd Mack be lieves ho will bo In shnpo for tho inter league games with the Braves and Dodg- M After striking out three times ngalnst Weaver In Tuesday's practice game, "Mi" Crowell found his batting eye yesterday. In the abbreviated game, he stepped to the plate three times and whaled out two triples and a double. The drives were made pit Myers and Jack Nabors, two of thtt best hllrlprfl In Ihw nminrl ntnl ffhn I tBrunonlan clouted one to each field. Jt was a treat to see Wally Schang cut ting the ball loose to the bases yesterday.

This Is of more than passing Interest to Phllatlclphlans, ris It was freely predicted that Joo Tinker would havo his hands full with his mixed team of Federal League players and tempernmentnl members of the 1916 Cub. team. The stories of both parties coincide. It nppears that tho trouble, started when Tinker fined Zabel for falling to report on time. Znbcl claimed that ho had received permission from Tinker to finish up his scholnstlo work nt linker College In Kan sas, but that tho manager was In n bad humor tho day he turned up and plas tered on a flno anyway. Zabel did not like this nnd an argument followed. Tho members of the Cubs sided with Zabel, nnd clnlmcd that Tinker was playing favorites with his Federal Loaguers. Within two days Tinker shipped Zabel to tho Los Angeles team, of tho Ta clllc Coast League. This action did not help mnttora nnd widened the breach between manager nnd players. Things havo reached Buch n stago that somo of tho players do not speak, except when It Is absolutely necessary, according to tho Information received here. Milco Doolan, tho former Phllly player, Is said to bo tho only Federal Leaguer who Is welcomo around the old Cubs. Both visitors declare that Tinker tins some wonderful material at hand, nnd bo llovo ho would como closo to winning tho pennant If ho changed his method of handling the men. Great prnlso was showered upon Flack nnd Zwilllng, two FedornI Lengno youngsters who havo been conceded rcgulnr places In the outfield. They declare, however, that Tinker Is banking too heavily on Brown, Bailey and McConnell, of the Fed. pitching staff. None nt those hurlers look ns good as somo of tho Cub pitchers, who apparently are being pushed in the background while this trio is being groomed for regular duty. Claude Hendrlx Is said tn bo In great shape and should havo n splendid senson, but Tom Scaton has shown nothing. Scaton has had a sore arm and has not been able to let out. It Is claimed that Sea ton's arm Is gone nnd that tho reports circulated last winter concerning Tom's condition were true. ROOKIES AND REGULARS MACON. On.

I do not agree with Rome of tho experts who say that Jess Wlllard Is virtually Invincible. Ilut this must not ho construed to mean that Wlllard Is not a wonderful fighter. What I wish to Imply Is this nny big man. no matter how clever or fast he may be, can be knocked out, nnd by a smaller man. I have seen both Wlllard nnd Moran In training nnd In a fight I saw Moran beat Coffoy twice. He showed mo enough to bo convinced that a good man of 180 pounds or over can beat Wlllard, Still, I do not wnnt to go on record nt this time as saying that Moran Is going to win the light next week. Wlllard Is in good condition now. He'll be perfect by the time he enters the ring and I look for n good battle because I know from personal observations that Moran Is a real fighter. I think Moran has a great chance to win. Everting Ledger Decisions of Ring Bouts Last Night OAYKTY Andr HI vers defeated Ken turky Kid, Jimmy Mhlto beat Joe Miller, Young Joey vton from Young Leahan.

BREWER IS PICKED TO WIN PREMIER HONOR IN DASHES Schoolboy,With Record of 9 4-5 Seconds for Century, Has Not Reached Top Form ALTHOUGH Brooko Brewer Is stilt only XJLn schoolboy, nnd has not yet reached top form, to most of tho critics ho looks like tho man who will carry off most of Amorica's sprinting laurels this spring nnd summer. It Is a good thing that he Is showing so much promise, because I toward Drew, heretofore rated na our premier sprinter, looks to bo going back. Throughout tho Indoor season this win ter Drew has failed to show his old-tlmo form. Brewer has been In tho limelight for tho last thrco years, during which tlmo has has been n Btudont at the St. Albans School, Washington, D C. Ho first nt tracted attention when ho beat Don I.lp plncott nnd Jimmy Patterson, tho two Pennsylvania sprinters, In Indoor meets. Lnst spring ho rnn 100 ynrds In 9 4-5 seconds nt tho University of Pennsylvania Mlddlo States meet. This performance was made In one of tlia heats, but Brower did even hotter tlmo In tho final, nnd under competent timing. Later ho tested himself ngalnst A. A. U. men. when ho finished third In tho 100-ynrd tryout for tho San FranclRco games. Brewer possesses two of the qualifica tions of a great sprinter wonderful vi tality nnd plston-llko leg action. In build nnd stylo of running ho much resembles Arthur Duffy, the ono runner who nil critics ngree did a bona lido 100 ynrds In 9 3-3 seconds. Brewer Is a good starter, though not ns good as DulTy. Ilut ho can run his races through to tho tape, nnd Is almost ns good nt tho 220 yards as tho shorter sprint, which Is moro than could bo said of Duffy. JUNIOR INTERCLUB TENNIS SHOULD HAVE GOOD SEASON Prominent Players Consent to Aid League. Matches Will Be Played in July, So as Not to Interfere With School By WILLIAM Tun Junior Interclub Tennis Lcngue will play Its second season this year. Merlon, Philadelphia, Germantown nnd Cynwyd will all have teams. It Is hoped that Bcllletd and Huntingdon Valley will nlso be represented. Thero Is nothing quite ns cheering to Philadelphia tennis enthusiasts ns tho great Interest In Junior events and the growing number of both Junior leagues nnd tournaments. The Interclub Junior Leaguo was the pioneer organization In the city. Since then tho Interacademlc Junior Lcngue has been formed, nnd It Is hoped that next season will see tho be ginning of a Junior Interscholastlc Lcogue. The regulations under which the Junior Interclub Leaguo plays are ns follows: First. Boys Bhall bo under 18 years of ngo on May t of the current year. Second. The tenm shall consist of four singles nnd ono double. Third. A sculqr mnnnger shall bo ap pointed at each club to take charge of all matters pertaining 'to the Junior tcamB at that club. Theso' managers will meet and drnw up and ratify tho schedule. Fourth. The clubs shall play two matches with each club, home and home. It Is believed that tho senson will open July 7 tind continue with thrco matches a week. This would mean only running two weeks It Is a wonderful opportunity for tho boys of theso clubs. They should take every advantage of It. Among tho boys who will be eligible will be Hdward Cas sard, Philadelphia Junior champion; Hoy H.

It Is well for his futuro that ho has been brought nlong stowly. Ho ought to bo nt his best this summer, and Just a littlo better than Drew, Loomls, Morso or Smith. T. TILDEN, 2D Schuylkill Valley doubles title with Tll tlen i Searing Wilson, of Cynwyd, Phila delphia Junior indoor champion, nnd many other boys of real ability. Tho men of tho various clubs have promised to help tho youngsters as much as possible. Thero will be quite as much rivalry between tho men In charge of tho Junior events as tho boys themselves. This will especially bo true when fiermnntown meets Cynwyd. It Is sincerely hoped that tho boys themselves will tnko n hold of this league and mako It move. No matter how hard the men In charge may work. It will de pend on tho boys whether or not this year will prove n success. riaylng the matches In July will prove a flno thing, slnco It will not Interfero with school work. The boys will have nothing to Interfero with their matches and can get plenty of good practice be foro the senson opens. So wo may with confidence expect tho Junior Interclub Lcngue to prove an equal success with tho Mon's Interclub, which always brings out ns good tennis ns wo ever find around tho city.

NEW PICTURES FROM THE BATTLEFIELD The Battle Front at Verdun PHOTOGRAPHS from the battlefield at Verdun have - just been received in America. These pictures are new and fresh from the firing line. They are the work of French military photographers and show, as no description can, the havoc of artillery and the conditions under which the opposing forces work. Some of the scenes pictured have since been converted into "plowed ground"; they have suffered a rain of the terrific shells both sides arc now using. Two pages of the Intaglio Section of next Sunday's Public Ledger will be devoted to these pictures.
