CONNIE MACK'S PLAYERS WOULD LIKE TO FIND ANOTHER CAMP FOR SPRIN
-.(MF-W---M-
ATHLETIC PLAYERS ARE NOT
SATISFIED WITH TRAINING
CAMP AT JACKSONVILLE
' " " -"''-' I
Mack, Davis and Thomas, However, Differ With
the Members of the Team No More
Barnstorming for White Elephants -
THE only person who seems nt nit satisfied with Jacksonville and with the
results of the training trip la Manager Mack, and ho la not very enthusiastic
about it. Ha declares that Jacksonville Is an Ideal training camp, but that a
serious mistakes has been made again by scheduling games en routo for homo.
After" last spring Maclc declared that hereafter tho team would remain In Jack
sonville until two days beforo the opening of tho American Lcnguo season, but
he was prevailed upon o change his plans.
It Is quite a temptation for a manager, who Is half owner of a ball club, to
pass up tho profits derived from these spring exhibition games, and Mack felt for
tho tales of overflow crowdj In minor league cities. Ho realizes that he has mado
n mistake and that tho team really needs at least a week or moro of morning
practice. Ho declares that next season ho will not bo tempted, and that tho Mack
men will remain In Jacksonville (If Jacksonville la the training camp) until two
days before tho American League opening. It remains to bo seen whether ho la
the first manager in tho gamo to follow this plan.
Manager Mack declares that ho la perfectly satisfied with tho work dono In
Jacksonville, and believes ho did tho proper thing In scheduling games with
Boston and Brooklyn In Miami and Daytona, though It was certain that tho
tegulars could not have moro than two days' practice prior to theso Interlcaguo
contests.
Slack's Opinion Against the Players
There are two sides to tho argument,, and It Is Interesting to seo whether
Mack, Davis nnd Thomas, thrco wlso old Veterans, or somo 20-odd players aro
right. Tho playors contnd that tho games with tho Braves and Dodgers should
not havo been played until tho team had been practicing nt least 10 days and
had played n few exhibition games with easy teams, so that they could gradually
work up to tho hard games.
They did not relish going to Miami and Daytona to bo shown up by tho
Boston and Brooklyn hurlers, who wero In mldscason form, and they also bcllovc
that It will be somo tlmo beforo they aro ablo to hit major lcnguo pitching con
sistently, because they wero no", gradually worked up to that stago.
On tho other hand, Mack says that It will do tho mon n world of good, as
rood pitching will look easy to them as soon as they strike their proper stride. Ho
believes that tho average major lcnguo team does not faco good enough pitching
In tho training camp and Is not prepared to faco major lcaguo pitching
when It comes North to Btart the pennant raco. Record scores In training games
against minor leaguo teams, with youngsters cracking out threo or four hits a
day, does not do a team any good, according to Mack, and, judging by tho gradual
Improvement of tho team In nil departments, ono Is Inclined to agree with him.
Mack Believes Lawlcr Would IIcJp Killofcr's Arm
Manager Mack says that ho thinks that Martin Lawyer, tho Browns trainer,
who was with tho Athletics a few years ago, could bring KUIcfcr's arm around
In good Bhapc. nnd has offered that suggestion to Manager Mornn, as ho feels
certain that Lawler would bo glad to help tho Phllly star If his arm Is not right
yet.
Mnck does not have much faith In tho nvcrago trainer for such ailments,
"but declares that Lawler convinced him that ho could "bring n player's arm
back" if there was any chanco at all. Mack is inclined to bellcvo that Ktllcfcr Is
too young and strong for anything but a serious accident to causo his arm to
loso Its throwing ntrength for good.
Parnham Showing Up Well in South
Rube Parnham's great showing for tho last week ha3 mystified Connto
Mack. Ho says he watched the youngster closely at Jacksonvlllo because his
.on Earl had recommended him as the best prospect In tho North Carolina
no, barring Myers, but did not see Rube show anything that oven wnr-
a major league trial.
days boforo the Mackmen departed from Jacksonvlllo, Parnham cut
a side-arm curve ball that was a beauty. Mack has him work'Ing out
irnlngs In Charleston. Ho may not spend the season with Raleigh If
make other arrangements. It will bo recalled that Grovor Alexander
1st lost in the shuffle at Birmingham In 1011, because he did not let
it unTm he was placed dn tho Yanlgan team for the barnstorming trip North,
'and, despite Fogel's denials, 'was to havo been returned to Syracuse at tho start
ofvtho Benson.
Callahan is Shifting- Pittsburgh Pirates
Jimmy Callahan has returned to his new home In Pittsburgh with a band of
baseball athletes who he insists are going to put up a mighty battle In tho
National League. Jimmy is trying out a few Bhlfts In his strenuous effort to
find Just, the proper combination for a winner.
Tho most glaring change fs tho effort of the White Sox leader to play
Jimmy Smith at short and use the antique Honun at second baso. Callahan
aeems to think that Smith will not do at second, whllo he is equally assured that
Hans Wagner can play second as well as he has been playing at short during tho
early part of the present and the latter part of tho last century.
Wagner has gotten in good condition at Hot Springs, and apparently Is back
In his .300 hitting form. He has been taking most of the throws at second and
making himself generally useful around the keystone sack.
Wngner Not Moved on Account of IHs Arm
It has been stated In some quarters that the reason for shitting Wagner to
iiecond base was because his arm was going. But such Is not the case, according
to Hans nnd Callahan. Whllo Wagner does not shoot the ball across tho diamond
fast as he once did, his fielding is fast and clean enough for him to toss from
shortstop to first base In pienty of time to get his man.
Possibly the slilftlng of "Wagner will be a good thing for the Pirates in the
long run, because the time seems to bo near when Wagner will lose somo of his
throwing power, and when- that time comes he cannot play the shortfleld post,
lion. Consequently, if he gets accustomed to second base, whero the throws
wo shorter and do not require as much speed in making them, Pittsburgh will
be heeled at that station for some time.
The other big Bhlft that Callahan is making is the playing of Balrd In the
outfield. Thus far this player has been making an excellent showing in tho
garden, and It appears now that he Is also most sure of taking caro of one of
those positions along with Hlnchman and Carey.
Grey stock Is Favorite for Basketball Honors
The fastest basketball game of the season Is likely to be pulled off this
evening at Cooper Battalion Hall, when tho Grey stock, champions of the Eastern
League, clash with the Paterson Club for what the contenders say Is the
world's championship. There are a number of teams who dispute the claim of
tho Eastern and Interstate Leagues to produce a world's champion team; never
theless, the Greys can give any team in the country a run for their money in
the cage, not excepting the fast five that represents the Olympic Club, of San
Francisco.
In the contest tonight Joe Bailey's team will start a, decided favorite over
the trans-Delaware opponents. The quintet that won the pennant for Greystock
Will ba ready to go in the cage in perfect shape. Lawrence will Jump centre,
Ray Cross and Allle McWilllama will play guards, and Mike Wilson and Lew
Bugarman will take care of the forward positions.
The Phillies' management Is preparing for a grand opening of the baseball
season, at Broad and Huntingdon streets, next Wednesday afternoon, when
iforan's folk clash with the New York Giants. Already a small army of men
is at work getting the stands and bleachers in shape for the opening contest
pd putting the playing field in good condition.
Syracuse will have two old pals for football coaches next fall. They are Bill
Hollenback, head coach, and Bill Horr, assistant coach. Horr entered Penn in
!?05 wth Hollenback, but he left this city and entered Syracuse, where he was as
much of a success as Hollenback was here.
Fielder Jones states that he has a very fast team, but that they are
going to lose many games because they don't know how to utilize their speed
pn the paths. There Is another trouble, too. They will not get on base often
enough to any high speeding If they perform as the St, Louis Browns have
for the last few years,

American leagues nro not flowing In
tho samo direction. Tho big split In tra
dition has como In the National, whereas
it haa only started In tho American, and
that In only ono source.
Flag Makers
From 1D01 to 1914 a matter of 13
playing seasons thero wero only threo
Hag towns In tho National League.
They wero Pittsburgh, New York and
Chicago. They won nil 13 pennants, with
flvo for New York, four for Chicago nnd
four for Pittsburgh. The Draves smashed
tho Flag Itlng In 1014, when they came
from tho barren lands and captured tho
pennant.
Tho Phillies continued the upset last
year, and to make It moro pronounced tho
only three regular flag contenders were
Philadelphia, Boston and Brooklyn all
Jokes In tho old epoch from 1901 to 1914.
The Giants finished last. Cubs and Pirates
both floundered far out of reach. The
old order was gone.
Even More So
To mako It more complete, this upheaval
from tho old-fashioned days, tho three
leading N. I, favorites for 1916 aro Braves,
Phillies and Dodgers.
Ono club from this trio Is almost sure to
win, with only the Giants having a none
too robust chance of smashing through.
Pirates and Cubs, by the Insiders, are
already counted out. Boston, Philadelphia
and Brooklyn, for the tlmo being, have
picked up whero New York, Pittsburgh
and Chicago left off.
And whllo they may establish no thirteen-year
reign, such ns SIcGraw, Clarke
and Chance did with their machines, they
have put away two flag years slnco 1913
and nre again doped to do most of the
righting for the year ahead.
Not Yet Here
The American League has had almost
tho same proposition to face. Philadel
phia, Boston and Detroit have ruled the
American League as New York, Chicago
and Pittsburgh ruled the National.
From 1902 to 1915 a matter of 14
campaigns Philadelphia, Boston and De
troit have won 13 pennants. The White
Sox broke up the combination In 1906, but
with this lone exception tho Big Three
have ruled, tho gonfalonlo highway.
In the last 14 years Philadelphia has
achieved C pennants, Boston 4 and De
troit 3.
The Difference
But, unlike the National League, thero
has come no big upset to bring other clubj
to the top.
The Mackmen dropped down to the bot
tomless pit last fall, but the two clubs
that fought out the Jubilee were Boston
and Detroit. And tho two clubs picked
for 1916 bra the same two, with only Chi
cago conceded a good chance to crack
the combination.
Chicago has a chance, but It Boston's
pitchers fall to drag the lied Sox across
the odds are that Detroit's .-uggtd attaclc
will land first money and so keep one of
the Big Three In command of the league.
The Three-Town Rule
Just why It Is that three cities In each
league should rule affairs for so many
years Is beyond the limits of any present
comment. But the facts are that It has
taken the American League longer to
break up Its Flag Trust than It has taken
the National.
The three N, L. rulers caved In to
gether In 1919, hut In reality Pirates and
Cubs faded out after 1911, when they
made their last stand and were driven
back by the Giants.
How much longer Boston, Detroit or
Philadelphia Is to rule the younger league
Is a matter of doubt. But the end Isn't
bo very far avtsiy, whatsoever 1916 pro
duces. The White Sox now have the stuff
to get going. The Yankees are bubbling
up swiftly out of the old rut, and the
By GRANTLAND RICE
Browns, under Fielder Joncs.nro suro
to bo a factor by another year. So hero
at least are threo clubs to tako up tho
chasa when Detroit nnd Boston begin to
slip, whenever that may be.
Flap; Destinies
It may be hard to explain why a few
cities havo gathered In most of the game's
glory, and yet there Is this to figure on.
In almost each Instance It has been a
matter of a great manager nnd ono star.
Pittsburgh had Clarke and Wagner for
her combination. New York had Mathew
son nnd McOraw. Detroit had Jennings
and Cobb,
Tho Athletics had Mack and a flock of
stars. The Cubs had Chance and enough
talent to win under average managing.
A fine lender Is, of course, a flying
start. And tho job gets easier when ono
has a man llko Cobb or Mathowson or
Wagner or Collins or Speaker to build
around.
But thlsjdoesn't explain all of It, for
the Yankees have had stars and managers
that Included Clarko Grlfllth, George Stall
Ings nnd Frank Chance.
And there are yet no pennants from
another day waving above tho Yank tepee.

In other words, ho Is not In It for his
health. Ho has his caglo eye on n well
upholstered bankroll, however, nnd woe
bo unto tho Intrepid guy who tries to In
tcrfcro with his plans I 3Ir. Fulton,
through his official megaphono nnd pri
vate secretary, Mlko Collins, has nrranged
to tako on theso threo stepping stones nt
ail average cf pome $8333 per step. Ho
will rccelvo ?2G,000 for his work.
The Grandoldopc
Hero Is tho plot: Fred will put on nn
act with A. Belch tho latter part of this
month nnd his guarantea Is (6000, If ho
Is successful, mark you, IF ho Is success
ful, he meets Jim Coffey n couplo of weeks
later. Ho gets J8000 for this, nnd IF ho
gets by with a knockout or shows his su
periority over tho ltoscommon lad, Fred
wllL ho Introduced to Frank Mornn. This
Is supposed to bo tho real test. Mr. Fulton
gets n purso of $11,000 for this, nnd It
will bo easy sailing thereafter IF he
hatiRs It on Francis Charles. Seems
filghtfully slmplo, doesn't It?
Fulton 13 tho most beautifully ndver
tlscd Impression wo havo Been In many
n day. Last December ho flashed across
the pugilistic horizon llko Ilallcy's comet,
boldly declared that ho was tho best
heavyweight In tho world and challenged
Wlllard. Jess, who was Just DYING to
havo a real hard scrap with somo one,
quickly snapped him up, and tho per
formance was billed as an added attrac
tion to tho Mardl Oras In New Orleans.
Then the scribes throughout tho land
began to delvo Into Fulton's past and un
earthed tho following:
tic Is a feet JVj c7ies tall.
lie weighs 220 pounds when fn
contrition.
Ills reach is one inch longer than
Willard's.
lie has a record of many ring vie-
torics, the majority hy knockouts,
but nothing appears in the official
record.
He began life as a plasterer and
likes the trade, lie keeps his dues
paid up in the union so ho can go
back to work when necessary.
lie is eatd to have floored TVd'ari!
fit an exhibition lout in Hochcstcr,
Minn., last summer. Keiiveiiiber HE
IS SAID to have floored tho champ.
Benson No. 6 Is Fred's bid for fame.
He has affidavits from the leading citizens
of Bochcstcr to prove he knocked Jess off
his pins, and ho Is confident ho can do It
again.
He Flattens a Ham
But, not so fast. NOT SO FAST. Mr.
Fulton endeavored to PftOVU that he was
the real noise when ho took on Agile,
Astounding Andro Anderson, n well-known
ham from Chicago,, nnd flattened him in
five rounds In Milwaukee. And ho did it
with his mighty left. Then tho match
with Wlllard was mado. Tom Jones sat at
tho ringside and Immediately labeled Fred
the most recent whlto hope, nnd IN
SISTED that he meet Wlllard for the title.
The press ngents got busy und Fred began
to train on the vaudeville stago at $1000
per week He trained hard for two weeks
and the histrionic graft played out Then
he worked out occasionally In BUI O'Con
nell's gymnasium. In Chicago, at two bits
per throw. Tom Jones had whispered
Bdmethlng In his ear.
When the promoters down In N'Orlenns
called off the big scrap Fred was Indig
nant. He had been made the goat, and
he would once more PROVB that he was
tho best heavyweight In the world. Ho
looked around for the BEST opponent In
the business, and, after careful study, se
lected poor old Porky Flynn. He beat
Flynn In 20 rounds acordlng to the ref
eree but experts at the ringside said that
the decision was given with reverse Eng
lish. This did not help Fulton very much.
so he took on another agile youngster
named Jim Flynn and flattened him In a
couple of rounds. This caused quite n
sensation, as Flynn had been boxing only
16 years, and only a few opponents had
made him take the full count.
He MUST Meet Wlllard
After that laBt GLORIOUS victory Ful
ton threw out his chest, looked over the
field, and could see nothing but Wlllard.
He MUST meet the champion. He will be
deeply grieved, to say nothing of being of
fended. It Jess treats hm with silent
contempt. So, onco more he got busy,
and matches were made with the stepping
atones.
As has been said before, Fred haa a
wonderful record. He has knocked out
Arthur Pelky, Jim, Flynn. Andre Ander
son, Kid Hooslt. from Wheresthls, nnd
many others, and explains his record of
achievements on his four-sheet letterheads.
He got by with this until one day Billy
McCarney took his pen in hand and, In a
letter to Billy Itocap, Sports editor ot the
I'uuLto Ledoer. said that the record was
all bunk. He cited many discrepancies In
the wonderful record and asserted that
Carl Morris could trim hint with a
sprained ankle and a busted hand. This
caused more talk. It Isn't at all clubby to
rattle the family Bkeletpn.
But Mike Collins. Fred's manager, did
not lose faith In his mastodonlc marvel,
lie did not reply, so far as we know, to
McCarney's diatribe and continued serene
ly on his way.
Tom Jones also believes that Fulton Is
the best ot the heavyweights, outside of
Wlllard. We had a little talk with Tawm
in New York a couple of days before the
Wtllard-Moran hippodrome and Tawm
spoke as follows:
