MAT BOtil$ fASEBALL HAS MANY PUBLICITY ifSTARS, SOME OF WHOM PKOMOTE ,t" IT, WHILE OTHERS JUST GET IT Temperament, Personality, Holding Out, Being Traded, Pulling Bone or Proving Flivver Gets Attention of Papers rTJYnUS ItAYMOND COBB, tho Gcorsl.. pcucli orchard, who by Ills own personality and playing ability lias kept ono well-known ball club always In the limelight and (sometimes In tho rolo ot pennant winner, la tho best publicity card In baseball. And not only Is ho tho grandest IJtllo producer of "copy" In diamond affairs and tho leading Item of Interest among baseball fans throughout tho country, but ho doubtless la tho best touted Individual In tho public mind icar In and jc.ir out, not forgetting Teddy Roosevelt or tho Kaiser. Kvcrjbody wants to read nbout 'l'y and his latest move. But thero aro many othor baseball notables who havo llttlo It any trouble In getting their names aud pictures Into print and in utartlng popu Ur conversation. And thero aro any number of traits or characteristics or peculiarities that tend to mako baseball figures bubjects. uf interest. Among these may bo mentioned personality, temperament, ability to bang tho ball, leading In tomo particular position, holding out, being traded, contract Jumping or something of that sort. A man may resort to tho plcturecquo and freakish and though, a poor player ho sometimes can get a lot of pub licity and become a drawing card. But tho greatest of all publicity cards la to pull a bono in somo Important performance. Another reverso pub licity card of noto lu to bo touted as another Ty Cobb or Walt Johnson and to flivver violently. , Next to Ty Cobb, It Is doubtful If anybody In baseball has been the center of so much newspaper publicity as Johnny Evcrs. It doesn't mako any difference whether or not the Trojan Is a great player any longer, he Just keeps getting Into print and, llko 'l'y Cobb, ho gets tho press stuff throughout tho 3 ear. His work with tho umpires still keeps him In the limelight during tho playing season and ho always lias remarks to mako during tho winter. His favorite line of comment during the hoary months holds tho Interest of old-timers especially, for it always defends tho gamo as it was against tho modern wrinkles. THE last winter season hao seen club owners contesting for tho publicity honors, Weeghman, of tho Cubs, and Krazeo getting tho greatest notoriety on account of plajcr and near-plojcr deals. Herzog Leading Spasmodic Publicity Star NEXT .to Johnny Kvers, tho player publicity honors no dojibt belong to Buck Herzog. Herzog does not work dally at tho Job, although his playing Is of tho kind that fascinates tho fans and makes htm a drawing card. His specialty Is trades, and ho always manages to llguro lit an un usual and spectacular swap that gives him the advantago and unusual news value. Also he files off tho handlo at least onco every season, and that feat always Is occasion for gossip. There are few players -who havo commanded tho publicity that lias been given Grover Alexander. But tho game's leading right-hander has something mora than performanco for space-getting. He resorts to tho lurid holdout and bonus stuff. Rogers Hornsby was a midwinter bill board and brass band flash, but Hornsby 's limelight was turned on him. He did not turn the switch himself. Weeghman did that for him and thereby started a general rebellion In tho tit. Louis Cards that has caused the club a lot of trouble and no doubt much money. Some of the greatest players of the gamo aro "form" men and get their publicity upon length of service and playing ability alone. Nap Lajole never Inspired tho fans; his work is too smooth and carefree. Eddie Collins Is aorrn player and seldom gets Into tho hectlo column except In world's aeries games, when his unusual Intelligence and ability to think quickly or bit safely In a crucial moment mako him stand out. Honus Wagner and. Walter Johnson aro genuinely modest men and get what's coming to them. In tho advertising line without Intent and without resorting to circus tCnts.. TrU Speaker Is a great player and great drawing card, but ho Is not. spectacular. Ho is Just a big star and a likable chap, and titsler Is Very much of tho samo class, though hardly as popular as Speaker. Temperament gets the publicity "big." Rube Waddell and Bugs Ray mond wero the real "nuts" of tho gamo and wero accused of having tho artistic genius unjustly perhaps. But they got the write-ups. There Is no truer type of tho temperamental cuss than Hal Chase of yore. This player apparently has settled down with experience and work under an amiable manager llko Christy Mathewson. Ray Caldwell Is among the tempera mentals of the present day. Heine tho Zlm is u bad actor and that's about all, except that he Is Mcrklo's successor, and that's worth a wholo press agent. Bennle Kauff and Ping Bodlo aro leaders of the picturesque and flashy ad gang, whllo Leo JIageo is head of tho school of dub notoriety. - - THE best advertisers lu tho managerial gamo aro Connie Mack and Jawn J. JIcGn-w. Their methods alffcr, but they get the space, and that is tho main thing. Girl Caddies May Become General This Year THE coming golf season seems likely to find girl caddies in moro or less general vogue. Tho feminine touch has been given to everything as a war measure, and why not to'golf? Tho only real handicap would seem to bo that tho presence of tho tender sex would have an lnfluenco upon the game Just like a censor. Somo hold profanity to bo as essential to golf aa the highball, and tho contention Is that tho restraints thrown about the. pastime by feminine chaperonage would deodorlzo If not cmasculato tho. sport. On the other hand, some of thoso who think golf wrong claim that the .girls would refine It, Just like copy girls lend an atmosphere of gentility to a rough-neck newspaper office. But the girls aro on the way. Attlio Oakland Golf Club, of Bayslde, Ir I., the girl caddlo has been on the Job for years, and only recently the Oak Ridge Club, -also in the metropolitan district,' camo to tho conclusion that It ought to engago girls to do the club-toting this year. To make the Job more attractive, bonuses of thrift stamps aro to bo offered. The caddlo skirt has not yet been attempted lu or about Phllly and no talk Is heard relative to the subject, according to Peter Putter and other well-known bugs of the pastlmo. Reading Is moro daring, however. Word has.it that both the Berkshire and tho Lancastor clubs will give tho girlies a whirl at the gamo of bell-hopping tho links and that other clubs In that Vicinity, are expected to give tho echemo a regular tryout. THE Chicago District Golf Association has taken tho matter up in all seriousness, and the chances are very much In favor of a ruling being made that will prohibit tho employment of any but very young boys or girls. Honorable Sumo a Lively Diversion SPEAKING of American wrestling, there is stated to be a moro vigorous . ipaatlmo, and that Is what Is known In keen Japanese grappling society aa "Honorable Sumo."

PENN SUBS HAVE EDGE ON VARSITY Three Wins and One Tie Record of Scrubs Against Regular Nine UNIT 20 PLANS MEET Roy Thomas may have a i.wcct souns ball team at Penn, but It's not the Varsity nine. If you ask any member of the scrub aggregation. It's the Scrubs. There has been great rivalry between the two squads out Franklin Field was, and so far In tho contests, the substitute players havo tho edge on the regulars. Four games, some short and some reg ulation, have been played between the respective teams and of the quartet, the Varsity has tho Ignoble record of three defeats and ono tie. But the Scrubs aro slipping and before long. It would not be surprising to hear of the regulars winning a game. When the outdoor practice first started, the scrubs were able to trim the Varsity by several runs, but In the third game they won out In the ninth by a single tally and on Saturday the best they could do was to get a tie. The Varsity members wero to sure of their ability on Saturday tliat they wanted to play the tie oft In extra In nings and the Scrubs, Imbued with the confidence that comes with the flush of recent wins, al&o wanted to play It off to a decision, but ftoy Thomas would permit of no extra sessions. Probably Roy wanted the Varsity to rest on Its laurels of a tie. Desplto the protests of the Scrubs, however, It must be admitted that Thom as has the maktn's of a sweet ball team, and no doubt he will roll said makln's Into such shape that there will be con siderable smoke In their worlc Howard Berry, the famous football, track and baseball star, was supposed to captain the nlno through the sea son, which will open April 6, but In view of the fact that Howard Is studying at Camp Dli to lead a section of the army, It Is not likely that he will be able to do anything In the way of lead ing the Quaker ball tossers. The captain of the team will be elect ed Immediately before' the Swarthmore game on the,. Inaugural day of the sea son. Dave 'Bennls, Hobey Light and Walter Bernhardt are the leading can didates for the post, with Bennls aa the favorite. N'YAWK FANS CERTAIN OF PITCHING PROWESS Tou can't disturb New Tork fans by telling them the Cubi have a better pitching staff. Upon performances.lt Is cited that last year three Giant pitchers led the National League lu tho percent ages of winning games, Schupp was first with .760, followed by Bailee with .720 and Perrltt Willi .708. Then cams Alexander with .698, whllo VauVlm stood se.enth with .689. Tyler was twelfth With .G38 and Douglas figured twenty sixth with .412. Benton and'Tesreau were rated higher In the percentages than "Tyler and Douglas.

The Dodger player states that he has been training all winter at his Pennsylvania home by tripping tho light fantastlo and that he has at least to his own satisfaction proved that dancing Is good exercise, and that Ills leg Is as good as new and will allow him to return to form. Aud Jake Is not a guy who.converses loosely Hero Is the way Jake lines It out at training camp, not forgetting to cas ually observe that something more than a bad leg held him back last year. He experienced a hoodoo hitting jear, he declares ; Never Tried It Before "You see, I got a notion in my head that dancing would indicate to me whether my legs would be affected on tho diamond. I had never tripped the light fantastlo In my life, but out home In Schuylkill Haven which, if you don't know, Is lu tho State of Pennsylvania, during tho long winter, I decided to give It a trial. So I took one lesson and progressing favorably took another. There was not the slightest pain In either leg, for which I was thankful. I think my legs are as sound as a dollar, as they say of thoroughbred horses. But, let me whisper, do you know I became a regular fiend at that dance game. You couldn't keep ins off the floor any night we had a spiel. I went In It for exercise and, as I have said, to learn about my limbs and cams out of It a regular left-hander of a dancer." So much for dancing and lts'beneflclal effect. Getting down to Daubert's part lu the scheme of things Brooklyn this season, Captain Jake expects he will be the player he was before his slump of last year. First Charlie Horse .

On tho team were sveral players who have been members of profsslonal and Hinaeur clubs but the recent ruling of tho A. A.

Watson will put on his uniform today, but will not work hard for two or threo days Watson strained his arm In throwing a curve ball lo Shaw, of the Pirates, on Saturday. Error Caused Defeat Rarely does a major league baseball team lose a game In tho final Inning under such .exasperating circumstances as did tho Athletics their llrst exhibi tion contest with Pittsburgh. The samo defensive conditions that operated to the advantago of tho Pirates would not prevail again probably lu several Les sons. Whllo there wero several con tributing causes Uio piinclpal factor In the Mackinen's defeat Is what Is Invar iably styled an Inexcusable muff of a pop fly, no higher than the weather cock on a Florida bungaow.

The blow of defeat fell particularly heavy on every member of the Phlla delphlaus. When the ninth Inning opened they had good reason to believe that they would shut out tho Pirates, who had been as helpless as a high school team beforo tho superior pitch ing of threo of Mack's rookies, while they had presented on tho mound three veterans of known reputation and abil ity. A bunt that wab converted into a hit because of a misunderstanding as to who should Held It was the sum total of the Pirates' batting prowess hi eight Innings.
