BATTLE FOR PHILLIES' HOT CORNER POSITION BETWEEN STOCK AND BYRNE IS FEATURE
- rjg- m f.jwm&n ""'
STOCK AND BYRNE TO FIGHT
HARD FOR THIRD-BASE JOB
IN PHILLIES' LINE-UP IN 1916
Youngster Apparently Has the Advantage and
His Victory May Mean Dropping of Vet
eran Out of the Big Show Limeglare
WHEN Hobby Byrno's finger Is completely healed there will begin one of the
hottest fights for tho thlrd-baso position Hint over took placo on tho Phillies'
club. Milton Stock, who renlly looks now to have the call on llyrnc, In fighting
to become a recognized regular on the championship team of l'at Mornn, while
Hobby will fight for his baseball existence.
If Byrne wins out for the placo this year. Stock, as a matter of coutse, will
be retained, becauso It Is only n matter of time when he will, barring Injuries,
vet the place permanently. On tho other hand. If Moran should chooso Stock as
his regular for the season, Byrno would bo on the road to baseball oblivion. Nat
urally, Byrne will bo needed this season oven If he Is beaten out for his regular
position, but n victory for Stock would mean that ho probably would bo release 1
next year.
This time last year thero was no doubt about Byrne's playing third, and It
wall only through Bobby's Injury late In tho campaign of 19115 that gave Stock
tho clianco which had previously been denied him.
Youngster Has Itoom for Great Development
The advantage of having Stock In tho game as a icgular Is that he continues
to develop; while Byrno, though a young man, probably has passed tho zenith of
illg'carecr as a major lejiguer,
Byrno Is still fast, accurate In his fielding and has a sufficiently good arm
to make tho plays at first with timo to spaio. But Byrno is not tho hitter that
Stock should bo this year, and novcr did as well with tho stick for" tho Phillies as i
Milton on tho final sprint of tho local National leaguers for their first Hag.
Stock Is tho best trainer on tho Philadelphia club. He docs nut use tobacco
m nny form, novcr takes a drink, not even u glass of beer, and keeps regular
hours throughout tho season. Ho Is a great reader, and puts In most of his tlmo
during the playing year with his books while ho Is not on the ball field. He 13 of a
decidedly retiring disposition, but Is full of llfo and ginger on tho ball field.
Stock Has Done Well This Training Season
Stock has been showing up splendidly In St. Petersburg and in the games at
Tampa with tho Cubs. He has been hitting the ball, and whllo on si few occasions
he made wild heaves, that was at a time when he had not fully recovered from I
the soreness dovclopcd during the first few days of practice. ,
Naturally, Stock has tho advantago over Byrno in tho matter of training.
Bobby, who had his finger hurt In St. Louis recently, has only been at tho
Phillies' camp two dayB, and has done nothing but the lightest kind of work.
Furthermore, It will be some time before he Is able to go at top speed. By that i
tlmo It may bo that Moran will think ho vvoll of Stock's work that ho will keep
him In regularly when the season begins ns long us he continues to show the pace
he Is now setting.
Meredith in Danger of A. A. U. Investigation
Is Ted Mcredltn nt last to feel the heavy hand of tho Afnatcur Athletic Union?
Tlila would seem .IkHy as a result of information received from tho most reliable
bourco In Now Yor. that Meredith, Pennsylvania's marvelous middle dlstanco i
runner; Joe Loomls, William Moore and Bonga Dismond. the last tho colored I
quartcrmller of the University of Chicago, aro to bo hailed before tho Registration I
Committee of the Metropolitan Association of tho A. A. 17. to explain about their
expense accounts for competing in meets In New York In the past three months.
Tho chairman of the Metropolitan Committee Is n great stickler on the
o.tpenao account proposition and spares no one, either great or small. This was
Indicated early In the winter when he caused Abol Klvlat. one of tho great
distance runners In the world, and Hairy Smith, a famous tciwnller, to bo ruled
out of amateur athletics for demanding and accepting exorbitant expense accounts.
Tho Metropolluia official Is now said by men closo to him to bo gunning for
even bigger gnmc, and bus raked over tho expeiibo bills submitted by tlicho athletes
ofHate. According to the charge, Meredith, Loomls and the others havo not Item
ized their expense hills In a suitable manner, and the committee believes they have
received far more expense money than they should bo allowed.
Meredith, Looinln and Mooro have been In great demand by promoters of
games held In New York, Boston, this city and other points. The example of
Ijootnls Is especially htrikltig. He mude flvo trips during tho winter to New York
for competition.
Confusion in "Pro"' Basketball Circles
Somo time ago tho Pennsylvania State 1-eaguo of Basketball Clubs made
overtures to the Kntorn Basketball League for an agreement whereby each
would respect the contracts of tho other, for at that time Trenton was hot on the
irall of Inglls, Sulls and Lenry. thrco of tho State League stars.
Tho executive head of tho Eastern Lcaguu would not enter Into a peace pact
at the time, declaring that ho would havo to havo the sanction of tho league. Now
It looks as If It will bo war between tho two organizations. Billy Kummer Is on
tho Jasper rcservo list though no one knows why and Kummer Is now playing
with, the Frecland Club of tho Stnte League.
Eastern League otllclals declare Kummer Is not eligible to play with tho
I'reeland Club, but no reasons uro given why ho Is not eligible. At any rate,
there will be no peaco pact. It doesn't matter In the least to the Statu
League now, for the season has been successful. If tho managers decide to allow
three professional players to a team In the 1016-1017 season, instead of two as'at
present. It would not be surprising to hee tho best of the Eastern League
material In the mining legions next winter. A peculiar thing about the Eastern
League rcservo list is that Dunleavy, released by Greystock some tlmo ago. Is
till on the roster of that club. This prevents nny other club from signing him.
Da dm tin's Election Overthrows Harvard Precedent
Judging by the details that aro leaking through Into this city, tho recent
election of a. football captain at Harvard In which Harry Dadmun, the big line
man, was chosen leader, was anything but a peaceful and harmonious gathering.
Not that there was any open and outward demonstration in the election, but It
in said on good authority that there never was such a great amount of wire
pulling and so much of un undercurrent of feeling.
As a matter of fact, the defeat of Dick Harte, the Philadelphia boy, who was
u star at end, Is a great catcher, track athletic star, hockey and tennis expert,
was the greatest kind of a surprise both at Cambridge and hero, and It took tho
smashing of all precedents to bring about the election of Dadmun; In fact, tho
revolutionizing of Harvard football In much tho same manner ns I'enn's has
heerr Accomplished except tor the fact that It was done without publicity.
Dadmun came to Harvard from Tufts College and Is what Is known ns a
"transfer"; that Is, an athleto who entered Harvard from another collego of
standing. Never before In the history of Harvard has thero been a captain who
previously played on another college, this being an unwritten law among Crimson
football men.
What makes tho upset all the more impressive wns the fact that in winning
the captaincy Dadmun also upset the theory that the leader must either come
from one of tho well-known pep schools or bo a member of an old und prominent
family. Dadmun defeated for the placo Dick Collldge, who comes of an old lino
nf Harvard men and athletes; Dick Harte, of un old Philadelphia family, und Joe
Harris, ono of the most prominent men socially In that section of Now England.
As a matter of fact, Penn'u election was also a precedent. In electing Math
tiws, the Ited and Blue chose a man for tho first timo who lives In the West.
The new leader Is a Chlcagoan. Only twlco In history has a Bed and Blue leader
been from any other State than Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey or Maryland,
the nearby States, and In both cases the leader came from other Eastern sections.
?o it seems that Penn 13 not alone in shattering traditions.
Bowling Tourney Produces Dizzy Statistics
A Philadelphia bowler with a penchant for figures has Just produced some
astounding figures based upon the national bowling championship now being
staged at Toledo, O. He shows that If one ball was used by all of the participants,
that ball would travel 287,550,000 feet, or 57,510 mlle3, two and a third times
around tho earth, figuring a distance of 150 feet from the bowlers' position to
tha pins and return.
This Quaker City espert goos even further, for after a great deal of figuring
ha has produced the aggregate number of balls and dlstanco traveled If in a
straight line, the number of pins toppled, their total weight and the amount of
wiergy displayed, A set of pins weighs 82 pounds, and, as It is calculated they
will bo handled 900,000 tlmow, the cumulative weight would be 28,600,000 pounds.
Tlia pin boys will return to the bowlers 1,620,000 IC-pound mlnerallte bowling
ills, or 25.920,000 pounds of dead weight. This represents a tremendous amount
.. labor, yet la done In the name of sport and pleasure. Tho five-man teams and
ndlvlduals wculd roll a ItJ-pound ball, If but one were used, 1,970,000 times and
it would travel the distance mentioned above, 57,510 miles. This record will be
far in excess of anything ever before produced in bowling.

Uy CHANDLER 1). MCIITER
MIAMI, t-'In.. March 23 The Athletics
regulars nrrivrd hem this morning rcmly
for tlio opening rtnnio of tho scries with
tho Boston Braves, who tiro looked upon
ns the favorite In tho National Longue
race this season. Tho Mnrhnien linvr
had but one game In preparation for this
series, and barring the battery mr-n, none
of the Athletlci havo been training for
moro than three days Therefore It Is
not llkol that tho Mackmen will upset
the dope by trimming Mailings' team.
Por tho first contest of the series with
tho Braves Harry Davis, who In hntulllng
tin- regulars while Manngcr Mack looltR
after the Ynnlgnns In Jacksonville. In
tends to uso three pitchers, working eneh
man three Innings This program will
be followed for three days, ns Davis does
not believe tho pitchers aro In good
enough trim to Rtnnd more than tliroo
Innings at the prcs'ent time. Jon Bush
probably will otnrt the game. Ho will
be relieved by Crowd! after three Innings
nnd Tom Shcclian will work tho last threo
sessions.
These three liurlers appear to bo far
abend of tho ret of the squad as far ns
condition Is riinccrnrtl. though Crowelt
probably will not bo permitted to use nny
curve halls, Tho lilg collegian is still
troubled with a lama linok, which pains
hlni when he snaps u curve but does not
Interfere with fast hall pitching. As
frowell lias ns line a fast ball as ono
would rare to too nt this time of tho year.
Acting Manager Dnxls believes that ho
will trouble the Braves.
Players Look Good
Cliief Myers, Jack Nabors niicl BUI Mor
rlnctto pitched ngainst Ft. 1'iorco. All
uppearrd to havo plenty of ".stuff." but
unfortunately tho game wns too easy to
get a lino nn their real ability. Myers
looked the best of the trio and appears
to be rounding Into form much hooner
than expected.
Manager Stalllngs of the Ilrnves has not
decided whom ho will uso against the Mack
men, but It Is safe to predict that whoever
goos to the mound is going to bother
Davis' men The Athlotlcs have had sueh
a small amount of hatting practice, and
virtually none against curve ball pitch
ing, that the Boston hurlcrs, who han
been hooking tho ball for three weeks, aio
likely to have llir Miirkmcn at their mercy
for tho nub's in this city.
I'erlinps when the teams meet again In
Jacksonville next week the Boston pitch
ers wll llnd tho Mackmen a linnMilttlng
aggregation. Davis has decided to uso
Pick, tho rtlchinnnd recruit, as lead off
for present with Bubo Oldrlng following
him. Mi'Iunls, Thompson. Malone, WnMi,
Crano and the battery men will follow In
order. Thcie Is a lot of natural hitting
ability In this lltic-up, or r.ilher thero will
bo after tho men havo had more prac
tice, but It looks very much as if one. or
two men who inn club and run are
needed
Macks Win First
Tlio first game of the season resulted In
a victory for tho Athletics, but when one
conslilcr:i the work of their opponents not
much ciedlt is due. Tho Fort I'lorro team
was little better than tho uienitto Inde
pendent club of I'hllndelphln. although Its
thrfo hurler. appeared to have fair abil
ity. Tho llnal score of 19 to 0 shows just
how hard the Mnckuien walloped the ball.
Thu fielding of Mark's reconstructed
team wns tho most encouraging fenturo
of the contest. However, Malone, who is
battling Larry Lajole for the second-hasa
position, made several brilliant plays and
also pulled off two pieces of heady Inside
stuff on the youngsteris. Behind tho bat
Dill Meyers, the Davenport youiigstet.i,
gave a brilliant exhibition. Ho caught
one foul fly off tlio grandstand and picked
another nut of tho crowd almost directly
ojipislte third base. Ilo also handled a
low-bounding throw to tho plato in tlmo
to stop a tally.
"Stuffy" Melanin robbed Frank Mc
Nlchol out nf a double with a great one
handed catch nf a line drive and took
several low throws In great style. "Shag"
Thoniphon also robbed McNIchol of n hit
with a great running catch In deap right
centre. He made two or threo other lino
plays. Incidentally. Thompson drew four
basss on balls and mada two doubles and
a single out of seven trips to tlio plate.
Tho game was scheduled at the request
of State Senator James P. McNIchol and
the proceeds went to charity. McNIchol
wants Muck to bring the team to Fort
Pierce for three days next spring, nnd
Harry Davis has promised that It will
be done.

'IIAlll.OTTi;SVII,U:, Va Mnrrh 22
Tii tho continued indisposition of Clyde
Milan and the utter Impossibility of Chick
Oanilll to work tin- kink out of his arm.
Clark OrlfTlth attilbutei tlio failure of
the Nationals to rlnc higher dm lug the
season of 1015.
After a winter's onhn deliberation and
planning to stiengthen the most vul
nerable parts of his machine, the Wash
ington director today unburdened bhnvctf
of his Ideas' ns to what caused tho situa
tion that to many was disappointing.
"It's all mer, of course, but a man who
does not profit by experience Is not mak
ing the most of his Job," ipioth the man
ager. "At times last year 1 was actually sorry
for Milan, a? I know that ho was working
under a handicap that few people realized.
Hip health was so bad that at times I
considered replnclng him, but ho was so
anxious to stick that I kept him In hoping
against hope. Ho deserved till tho credit
In tho world for his efforts, for a less
ganio man would havo quit without so
much provocation In every department
of his work the handicap of ill health
dragged him down, nnd tho team conse
quently huffered.
"This spring," continued Griffith. "Milan
has had tho benefit of his stay at Hot
Springs and, if appearances count, he
should bo tho Mllnn of 1013 and 1014 when
wo go to the scratch next month.
"Kneh spring since ho has been In
iKUseball nandll has been troubled with
his right arm. 1 lining tlio winter tho
elbow stiffens and thero has been no
treatment that would take out tlio kink.
Wo used nil sorts of liniments und Mike
Mai tin rubbed It until it was nearly blue.
Hut there-vns no Ube.
"I had u letter from Chick today and
he tells mo that during tho winter ho
has exercised tho joint every day sinco
last fall, and believes It Is cured. I
hope It Is, for hlh sake. If (landrt Is
ready In April bo will be a valuable man
for Cleveland, but If ho has tho same
trouble as last year It will be mldsuni-'
mer before ho can show real class.
"Ordinarily when a man's throwing nrm
Is injured It Interfcics with his fielding
alone, but with Cnudll It was his batting
that suffered also. Ho could not get the
healthy swing that carried hlni along so
well In his first season with us. Ho com
menced to choke his bat, but this stran
gling i.tylo was never meant for n man of
Clandll's strength nnd natural swipe.
"Whllo ho rloscd with a good season's
batting marks for us. you will find that
the records bear out tho assertion that
his hitting was around .200 until nearly
July. Then he came fast, us tho arm
Improved, but It was too late.
"With such an ailment the older a
man becomes the more likely Is It to
Interfere with his playing, so I decided
to lean on Joo Judge. At that, I hope
(Innilll will have u good year at Cleve
land, as he a still far from being an aged
man."

DONT take the
word of your friends.
DON'T take the word of mil
lions of men from every section
of the country who are saying:
"There is no cigarette likeMurad."
DON'T take the word of the
experts who tell you the tobaccos
in Murad are the highest grade
ever used outside of a 25 cent
cigarette.
