Fred Mitchell Entirely in Charge
ITU 1 13 V have had the whole winter to think things ovei anil hae agreed that
t'red Mitchell, tho new manager, should have entire charge of the team Thev
ftlso have told .Mitchell tint their unlimited capital Is at Ids disposal As a staitor
they have set aside $100 000 to bo used (o stiengthen the jeam, and Mitchell has
been told tint If It Is not enough they will dig up tinoonn nmie These ucalthv
tpoitsmen simply must have a winner and a wlnnei they intend to get If mruipv
can buy it This spirit Is going to be n great help to Mllclirdl. ns his hands will not
be tied It Is well that the stockholdois are taking such it sensible view but th"
must not expect too much of the team this season, as It needs lebulldlug before It
will bo a set Ions contcndci for tho National l,c iguo flag
Money Cannot ling Pennants
IT IS one thing to be free with the rnonov, as a maingot's ihamo to Htruigthr-n
a team is improved fifty tier lent, but geneioslty is no gunrnntco Dial the ball
playeis purchased will make good The Chicago owncis ptobably will dlscovoi that

fall shy of the pennant winning stand ird
Success of Mitchell As Predicted
VTATIONAI, I.CAGUI3 playeis and men who played with and against Mitchell
- In the International League epiessed confidence that tho former Hctston
coach would moke good at the time he was appointed manage i of tho C11I13 These
men qualified themselves, however by Kiting tlut it wrtiild be necessary foi tho
Cub owners to spend a large sum of money to lebulld the team Now that the
owners have agiced to spenil so much monev. there appears to bo little doubt hat
he will succeed if ho can rid tho team of dissension. Mitchell has started to clean
house by releasing eleven men whoso names have not been icvealed yet

Doom's Managerial Jobs Slip By
QNH week ago Charley Dooln had so many positions offered him that he put oft
V-' accepting ono until he could learn Just what Inducement would be offered'for
each According to rumor, a managerial position was waiting for the former
Phllly pilot at ernon. of the Paclflo Coast League, Memphis, of the. Southern
Association, and Hochester. of the International League, as well as the coach
ing Job at Harvard On the same day three of these opportunities slipped away
Harvard announced that Dooln's terms were too high, while .Memphis and Ver
non, respectively, decided upon Mike Donlln and Ivan Olson as managers
Now It looks very much as If only tho Hochester Job was open to Dooln and It

Goirf Makes Dig Strides in Racquet Game
fTIHE great racquet players of the Hast .ire worried The reason for the worry
J- ls that Jay Gould, the greatest court tennis player In the world, has taken up
the game and will be ready to meet any of ;he stars in a shoit time Gould
has built a private court In his gymnasium and ls practicing daily. While Gould
i Is green, so far as squash Is concerned, his wonderful knowledge of court tennis
, his agility, speed, stroke and generalship have enabled him to pick up the game
Jn a wonderful manner. Gould turned to squash racquets because It Beemed
impossible to find an opponent capable of giving him an Interesting battle at
court tennis, and no doubt he soon will be meeting the champions at the new
pame. Gould's entry Into squash will do the game a lot of good, as It will add
a great deal of interest to an excellent game
Ski Jumping Popular in New England
SKI Jumping-, always u great. winter sport In the West, is becoming popular In
New England. This sport never has been taken seriously In this vicinity
because of the lack of heavy snowstorms, but In the West the ski tournaments
attract from 20,000 to 60,000 people. An expert timer, who has acted In this
capacity at track meets and; other sporting events, recently timed an expert
ekl Jumper from the time he !e.ft the scaffold until he completed a 165 foot leap
and. learned that he had traveled at the rate of fifty miles an hour When It
I J considered that the ski Jumper travels about fifty or 100 jards before he
1 et up speed. Is It any wonder that there are so many accidents and that less
, than half of. the leaps are perfect enough to count In a contest?

bl ranger invariably starts for his corner
thinking the lound is up Some day an

Bolstering" the Attack
There hive been many suggestions offered
ns In how the attack con be Improved
Tho suggestion Involving a rlmngc in the
prevent dl'lnnees from base lo bnsn or nn
pirt thereof will hardly be considered
1 here ate other less drnsllr wnvs that will
appeal lo the fnn An for dimple, to im
prove batting I'lrst the elimination of tho
"Plthill nnd kindred devlies (Why should
a plater bo allowed lo t hew upon the cover
"f n ball nnv mnro thin he should bo nl
lowed to dip It In a bucket of water'') Sec
onil to have the foul sttlke regulation npplv
only to tho fltst strike, thereby leivlng the
bitstmn two healthy vvnllopt for his hit
Third a rule providing n bie on bills shall
advance cich runner upon tho basc3 at tho
time
This would bn stimclent for a testing stirt
and would undoubtedly ninke for a stronger,
mnro Interesting nttnrk
To Improto bnse tunning it la only ncccs
siry to hue a -stricter enforcement of tho
bilk rule, or a new balk rulo that will glvn
the lnso runner opportunity to get a fair
lcid off first
These chmgrs aro not drastic In nny
way, they could bo eislly made, nnd tho
Improvement would bring a certain welcome
from nine fnns out of ten

pltchlng-wni j Thcro was a tlmo when
n 100 hitter was supposed to bo Just a good,

Yet list season In tho two mijor leagues,
with more thin 210 plijers, there were Just
sixteen nine In tho Amcricm and seven In
thn Natloml who finished at 300 or above
an avcrago of Just one plavor to each
club
Tho club nvengo Inst season In the
American Leiguo fnt all eight clubs was
240, In the National It was 247.
So the average hitler not the weakest.

tho controlling element of the not onal hodf

which Oulmet Is a member
A statement to this effect was made

of G Herbert Wlndelcr a former official
if the national hodt and was Intended
solely for Oulmet nnd no other This will
bo tho strongest argument of tho Woodland
Club, .which will endeavor to hivo Oulmet
reinstated as an amateur at the annual
meeting The Woodland Club rltlmstlut
Oulmet and others have been discriminated
against because they havo hid tn earn their
own living nnd do not stand as high social
as tho Old Guard in control of the U S.

The statement in part follows
