DISSENSION IN CUBS' CAMP
SEVERE BLOW TO TINKER'S
PENNANT-WINNING AMBITION
Fining of Zabel Has Had Disastrous Effect on
Chicago National League Club at
Tampa, Florida
TUB gentleman ivho predicted that tho Chicago Cuba would never win a pen
nant Under the managership ot Joo Tinker uecaURc of Internal troubles evidently
bad nn tnsldn tip. Tlu spring training Is very young, yet dissension has appeared
In ilio Cubs' camp In such a malign form that It may destroy the Chicago National
League Club's chnnco for n pennant before the campaign has begun.
1'ltcher Zabel, who was with tho Cubs last season under tho leadership of
Ilogor Iircsnahan, arrived ut Tampa later than tho other players and was fined by
Joo Tinker. Zabel claimed that ho had permission, to complete his cotirso at Hakcr
College, Tinker 1'liea that he had no such permission. Tho result was that the
feeling ran so high that Tinker shipped Zabel to tho Los Angeles Club of the
JPaclhc Coast League.
Immediately tho old Cub3 waxed excessively angry, openly declaring that
Tinker was showing marked favoritism to the former Kcdcnil languors on the
rejuvenated Cubs' team. Naturally, this caused a split between tho old Cubs and
the erstwhile Federals, Tho result wan that In a short time slurlei were carried
from ono party to the other, and probably, as usual, lost nothing In tho transmW
klon, until a number o.' players of ono faction refused to even speak to those of tho
othor "sot." i
What Will Happen Is the Dig Question
Whether Tinker will bo ablo to straighten out tho differences that now exist
totween his old players and his acquired Cubs Is tho question that Is agitating
the minds of tho magnates In Tampa and the fans on the AVcst Side In Chicago.
It seems to bo the prevailing opinion that Tinker will never be ablo to com
pletely heal tho wounds that ho has opened In his camp, and that tho club which
looked so good on paper would, In reality, bo but a poor team because of tho lack
of harmony among tho players. If Tinker doesn't get his men together, "Weeglv
man ct nl. had Just as well get a now manager now ns later, for theio Isn't u
chance for Chicago to mako any headway In tho National League raco this year
with tho Increased strength of tho other clubs unless they can put all of their
power Into play, and they cannot do this without harmony.
Cubs Have Always Been Unruly Crowd
Even back In the halcyon days of Frank Chanco In Chicago tho Cubs were
always hard to handle. It Is true that Chanco managed them, hut no ono else
has boon ablo to curb them since, although Hank O'Day, Johnny Evers and Bros
nahan havo had a try.
Chanco was successful because he ruled with a chrome-steel hand. Ho was
tho von Hlndenburg of baseball. Ho never allowed tho least sentiment to creep
Into his handling of men. Thoreforo ho got tho results. O'Day could not even
como closo to handling Heine Zimmerman, nor could Iircsnahan, and tho chances
uro that Tinker would have had his hands full with "Zlm" nlono without this
latest trouble.
Brcsnahan's poor success with tho Cubs wns duo to his own hot temper and
falluro to handle himself as well as to his Inability to manage tho other players.
He was always In an argument with the umpire or tho players.
And Tinker is just such a man as Brcsnahan.
Harmony Essential to Any Club's Success
There has never been a pennant won In either tho National or American
Leaguo without hatmony, no matter whether It was natural or enforced. Every
ono In this city realizes that lack of harmony during tho regime of Charley Dooln
tus tho reason why the Phillies wero una,blo to win. What was true of tho Phils
then was true of them In former days, when they had their famous team, that
could do anything but finish tlrst.
Dissension ruined Connlo Mack's great pennant machine and caused him to
tear It to pieces rather than to allow It to disintegrate. As long as there was no
factionalism In tho Athletics' ranks they won pennants, but as soon as dissension
started the team bciran to hhow weakness, tho climax of which were the four
atralght defeats administered tho White Elephants by tho Boston Braves In 1914.
Athletes Sore at Local Treatment
Athleiea vZ Eoston, l-ew York and sonio of the ccllc?-ts from Cornell and
Yalo havo returned to their homes from the Meadowbrook Indoor meet at the
Convention Hall, disgruntled and characterizing certain features of Saturday
night's record-breaking affair as tho limit of mismanagement. They place par
ticular emphasis upon their commendation of tho handling of the big event from
tho. standpoint of the Meadowbrook Club, especially praising tho attendance, seat
ing arrangements, entertainment for the athletes and tho artistic excellence of
the ovent, but severely brltlclso tho handling of tho meeting by the A. A. U. ofil
clale, the handicapping especially being a target for their attacks.
Some of tho star athletes, who havo competed for years In all sections of tho
land, bore out tho writer's opinion that there has never beforo been presented
such a comprehensive program, such perfect equipment for tho athletes and so
much time and money expended to make their visit and their competition both
pleasurable, and profitable. The Meadowbrook Club spared neither time nor ox
penso In bringing a greater number of colleges und club men to this meet than
ever before traveled to any Indoor competition In the Middle Atlantic division.
The trophies wero more numerous and of greater value than usually found in
anything but the big championship competitions. On all these details the ath
letes unite in praise of Meadowbrook.
Officials Are Said to Be to Blame
Tho fly In the ointment Is the falluro of the conducting ofilclals to measure
p to their work. The task was too great for them, and completely walked away
with them. This was notlceabla In tho manner In which the program was shifted,
athletes permitted to sit In the dressing rooms without notification, while the
handicapping was distinctly poor. In fact, It Is doubtful whether athletes lu
Held and truck athletic events were over rated with less care as to tho actual
details of their ability and past record.
This was especially noted in tho shot-put, the mile aid three-mile and a
number of the short distance events. In tho mile event, Mlko Dovunny, of the
New York A. C, refused to run because the handicaps wero so heavily set against
him that he would have been forced to have broken the world's Indoor record
to win. The officials of the A. A. U. contend that Devanny did not run because
the Intercity relay conflicted with that ovent, but Devanny's friends say he
would have competed in the mile had there been a chance for him to get a place
In the second event, Howard Berry, of Penn, who could not by uny stretch
of tho imagination be regarded as better than a 4:35 mller, wus given Just half ns
Biuch, handicap aa Potter and HofTmlre, of Cornell, two of tho best college mllcrs
(a America, both of whom should havo been on the scratch. There were notable
examples where athletes who have been winning and placing In recent big in
tfoor meets from handicap moiks have had their marks doubled in this meet.
Hutchinson Was Made the Goat
Reggie Hutchinson, of Yale, a Philadelphia boy, brother of Danny Hutchin
bob, the former Penn athlete, was mado tho goat of the poor handicapping.
Hutchinson won that event with a handicap of 11 feet 6 Inches, an allowance so
great that even though Pete Maxfleld broke tho A. A. U, indoor record with CO
fet 3 Inches he was unable to get a place. An effort was made to disqualify the
Yale man on the ground that he had misstated his ability on his entry blank and
Uaat this was responsible for his long handicap. But Hutchinson did not submit
a false mark.
It has generally been the custom, and we believe the duty, of the hantll
capper to study the records of all the men In competition; and with more than
a week from the closing of entry time to ascertain their ability, he should not
trust to chance and the statements of the athletes as to their ability for allotting
handicaps.
Athletes Were Not Notified of Events
Cornell's complaint arose mainly because of the fact that Potter,
Koffmlre, Beckwith and Rogers, Its quartet of star mllers, were permitted to sit
in. their dressing rooms without notification until after the race had been run.
The same complaint was made in the preparatory school relay championships!
Tho program had been Juggled, and the Bethlehem Preparatory School relay
team como out for its event at the proper time and in proper order, only to find
that the'?vent tad already been run. Burke, the Boston A. A. mller In the HO
yard open, had the same experience, while a number failed to get into the 300-yard
open event for the same reason, the program having been switched and they had
received no notice to report on the track.
Jl is to be hoped that the wonderful work of the Meadowbrook organi
sation will not go for naught and that the collegians and clubmen who are dis
gruntled with the handling of the affair and their special treatment by the A.
A, U, officials will not withdraw their patronage next season. The local club has
set ft standard for track meets indoors that will be difficult to emulate anywhere
and it deserves the -very best at the hands of athletes and patrons of the sport!

AU. the stories about Josh Wlllaid not
XJLbelng In good physical condition for
his fight nlth Frank Moran at Madison
Square Garden. March 23, are nil wrong
I ncnt to "Wlllard's camp and after look
ing him over found that lie was rounding
Into a condition of physical fitness that Is
Just as good. If not bettor, than any one
predicted for him at this period of his
training.
I saw Wlllard punch the Img, box seven
rounds, wrestle with the Terrible Turk,
work tho pulley machine, do bending ex
ercises while lying on the floor and throw
the medicine ball In u manner that, to my
mind, indicated excellent condition. In
his boxing with Walter Mnnaliuu ho
worked at top speed and showed that ho
has becomo much moe clever with tho
gloves than ho was a year ago, when he
defeated Jnek Johnson at Havana.
His muscles show up well, and his wind
In anything but poor. Ho H able to go
through all of his work at a fa&t clip
without showing any bigns of hurd breath
ing, the inevitable sign of poor wind.
Throughout nil of his workout In the ring,
he showed that ho has ono of the great
essentials for nny nthletlo undertaking
that quality Is "pep." Tho way ho stepped
around tho ring on his toes would have
done credit to a much lighter man.
Tho champion Is really working hard
and thn results of his training are easily
seen, even to one who Is not expert. Ho
is a big man. and while It la true that ho
does carry a small amount of fat on his
stomach. It Is also true that, It Is sure
to disappear by the date set for his bout
with Moran, providing he continues to
carry out his present dally program of
hurd training.
I noticed particularly that while box
ing with Monahun after having had tho
gloves on with both Ilemple and the Boer
he did not show signs of fatigue, such
as one would bo expected to seo after
AKT SMITH
rending the numerous stories nhout his
poor condition, of his non-nggresslvo
style of training. Also, I noticed that the
big fellow has his heart and soul wrapped
up In his work and that In every effort ho
mado ho manifested a degree of serious
ness that Is bound to bring him into the
ring on tho night of tho big light in per
fect condition. Wlllard stripped down and
lying on tho rubbing table looks today to
bo la excellent shape, nnd tho same Wll
lard going through a stilt afternoon's
work-out looks to be anything but unlit
physically to defend his title.
Ho Is, of course, for from being on edge.
In fact he Is In Just that condition that It
Champion Has But Lit
tle Fat; Will Take It
Off Before Date Set
for Big Mill
' I") well Tor nu athleti to be I:; ten days
previous to his watch. lie carries Just
, enough fat to enable him to work at top
I speed right up until the day of tho fight
i without any danger of ovet training. To
i be "on edge" a week or so before a match,
I ho It boxing, wrestling or running Is all
very foolish The Idea In to 1)3 right at
the rltcht tune and not before. All ath
lete who carries Just a little weight for
i this reason can woik light up until h'is
match in perfect safety without any dan
ger of overtraining is better on" than one
who Is right on edge n week before a
contest for this reason Is constantly hi
danger of being ovenvorke'd. Wlllard is
doing his training In a nano and sensible
manner and icports to the effect that he Is
fat, not aggressive and lacks Interest hi
his wort; arc without foundation.
Ho could fight 10 or 1,1 good fast rounds
right now, so there need bo very little
anxiety over his ability to no at ton sneed
I for the entire dls'aucc a week from Sat
urday night.
Ono noticeable Indication of an athlete's
physical condition is very often expressed
in the manner In which he becomes lr
rltablc or cranky ut times, particularly
when he Is nenriug tho stage of perfect
condition. Football players, baseball
players, track men and crew men are
shaip-tempered, easily peeved and hard to
handlo ns they begin to get on edge Just
before an Important contest. Wlllard.
Tuesday, showed Hashes of temper and
onco told lloer Itodel that ho talked too
much, and In other ways he acted keen
tempered, which Is not bad at nil, for It Is
a good sign that he Is getting right.
A close study of the champion in his
training quarters, stripped for action and
down to hard work, will convince most
anybody tliut he really looUs good, and
barring accidents, will bo "right" a week
from .Saturdanlght. Ho not only looks
tUfchut ho bJJBfnst and without nny
WB of poorMUtlon. Ho Is, In my
opKpu. u great nthtc. whose ability Is
ntlln tho ttago of development.

The result was never In doubt. From

Jasper led by 15 to 8, and retained this
