J OK WOOD, erstwhile pitcher of the lted Sov, after being counted nut , by baseball manngers throughout the majors, has come back with bells on, so to speak. Hut he has not come back as a pitcher. It Is possible that the managers were right Joe's pitching days nre over. If Wood himself believed that he did not nllow It to Interfere at all with his plans. Ho told Leo Kohl, manager of the Cleveland club, last winter that he was willing to pay his own expenses to training camp and then after he had got Into condition talk over the mailer of a contract. Previously Tohl had been in doubt ns to Wood's ability und had not offered him a contract. Naturally thero was nothing che for Kohl to do but accept Wood's train ing offer. e Wood went to camp and he got in condition. He is only thhty ears old, consequently he knew that his ntnletlcs were not over, even If his arm had become glass. He was always a good hitter for n pitcher and when he was tried out ns nn outfielder he hrmed that he Is clue to make one nf tho best gaideners tn the 'business. So fnr this season Wood has played a splendid game In Ihe field and his stick work has been of material assist anco to the Cleveland club. Wood's come-back is due to his bulldog tenacity. He has the Hiltlsh temperament of not knowing when ho Is beaten, hence It Is hard to beat him. It was this spiiit that bt ought him from the ranks of a has-been pitcher to nn outfielder of ability. Wood was'alwas a fighter for games. This was demonstrated by his fine lecord during the season of 1912, when ho was one of the main factors in the Red So pennant victory, and In the world's i-ciies the biggest factor in his club's win over the New York (.Hants in nn eight-game contest. , Wood s live feet eleven Inches tall, weighs 150 pounds and Is In fine condition. With this powerful ph.vslque he is sure to become better as the season advances, and when It wanes he will be reeognlml as one of the most useful outfielders In the game, tn i-ny nothing of being n pl.ier who refused to quit. Very few men have been high-grade pit' hers and then returner to the game In another c.ipaclly. The most notable example of this was the cae of I 'rank Lsbell. who, after having once been a pitcher, became one of the bet f-econd basemen in the business. His fielding and batting throughout the f-eaon of 19011 materially aided the While So to capture the American ! League pennant and subsequently to take tho world's t-crlm from the Cubs. j More College Contexts Advocated fTIO STIMt'LATI-: college athletics, tho Harvatd Alumni Itullctln advocate tho pl.ing or four contests between two colleges Instead of pitting the I four class teams ngalnst each other. The Idea Is to permit more general ' participation In the games than Is possible when only one contest Is staged. .. part or this editorial says: "We have recently remarked upon the desirability of seizing the present moment for improving the conditions of college athletics. Humors of what may bo done here and there keep floating about, but ns .vet we have learned of no constructive cooperative plan for bunging about a truer relation be tween athletics nnd the other inteiests nf college life. "Imagine, for example, that two colleges Miould agiee not to abandon a crowning match at the end of the season In football, baseball or rowing, but Instead of having such a match plued between university teams should nnango that the best class team In either collego should play the best class team In the other. Thus, instead of having one eleven, nltie or crew, on which the ejes of all the world nre fixed, there would be four. In any one nf which It would bo an ecjii.il honor to win a place. "The candidates would natmally nppnar In largel.v Increased numbers, the pleasure ami profit of organized games would be wldelv extended, the series of class contests throughout the season would piovlde plenty of do mestlc excitement, with a healthy opportunity at tie end f..r the entile college and the alumni themselves to Join in .suppcu ting the cock of their walk when matchccl.agalnst the coi responding bird from another pit." Crfii'f Due Penn and Joe Wright TWrt'CII credit Is due to the crews of the Knlverslty ot Pennsylvania and XA to their able instructor, Joe Wright, for the fine showing made bv the lted and lilue shell athletes on Carnegie Lake. Princeton, Saturday after noon. The athletes from Philadelphia, chowed wonderful smoothness In their race, and there was no doubt that nt the finish they had something in te serve which would have insured victoty if the contest had not been a runaway one, ' The Chllds cup went to the lted nnd Blue eight-oated crew for the fifth time in the thirteen contests that have- been staged since 1ST1L Although the course was one nnd seven eighths miles, after the llrst half mile the only contest was between Columbia and Pilnceton, 1'enn by this time having demonstrated that as far as first place was concerned nothing but a l'-boat could prevent It winning. It was n grilling contest, this one for .second plate, finally the Oiange and Illnck was nosed out by the Morningslde Heights bojs by an eighth of a length. Penu's showing Indicates that the crew which two weeks ago defeated the Navy on the Severn Is probably the best in the country today The standing of tho West Phlladelphlans In the eves of the towing world is duo almost solely to tho udendld work of Joe Wright. He has done as well with the crew forces as l.on Jourdet did with the basketball team during the last two seasons. , New Plan to Boost Tennis for Women rptin latest plan to boost tennis for women was conceived by Mrs. Hope - Doeg, of Santa Monica, Cal who was formerly Miss Violet Sutton, of tthe famous Sutton sisters, racket wielders de lu.xe. Mrs. Doeg, who.' by . uiu uj, is me "my nuiium proicssionui in uie world, advocates u national i tennis tournament for girls to be held here in Philadelphia In connection with the annual women's championships, which are staged on the courts of the Philadelphia Cileket Club at St. Martins. I Mrs. Doeg believes that children should be given a tennis rark.t on ball when they nre four jears old, In order that they may become accus tomed to the "feel" of the racket. In this way t-he thinks the youngsters will, after they become older, have no difficulty In learning and perfecting the various strokes, because having begun at that early age, wielding the racket will have become second nature to them, A summary of Mrs. Doeg's arguments for tennis for girls follows: Kirst. It is a good, active exercise, but not too strenuous. Second. It teaches one to be quick and graceful In footwork. Third. It develops plenty of strength und muscle. Fourth. It reduces the weight If one is inclined to be too heavy and makes the figure graceful. Writers Prevent Baseball Crime ! "DAN JOHNSON and John K. Tener can thank the baseball writers today , J- that they did not perpetrate a baseball crime at Harrison, N, J yes- teiday. The Phillies were to have been compelled by the moguls of organ- ized baseball to meet tho Urooklyn club nt the Newark paik In a Sunday contest, thereby putting the national agreement In the same class as other well-known scraps of paper. I There Is no doubt In the minds of both writers and fans, that the heads ot oigauized baseball xvere determined to Invade the tetrltory of the Inter national League, on tho theory that they could make up a portion of the $10,000 u year which they have to pay for the park at Harriscn, and Incl dentally they thought they could get away with It. They wele obviously of the opinion that every one would fall for their game and that New York and Philadelphia fans with lots of spare time and change would fall over each other In their efforts to get to a real major league Sunday contest In the East. But they figured wrong; n.ot the first time, by the way, that ' they have failed In foresight. Baseball fans want the game played on the square, an they also want every one connected with baseball treated as they should be. When Uie various writers rose up In arms and showed up the tricky plan of Johnson and Tener the fans' eyes were opened, and it Is likely that If the Phillies had met Brooklyn yesterday on the New Jersey lot there would not have been enough fans present to pay for the day's expenses. But the question still remains. What Is organized baseball going to do with that park at Harrison? On Saturday a corps of workmen wer busy putting things into shape for a baseball game, although the Phillies Brooklyn game hail been called off. Whatever they do, these rulers of the national pastime should nov know clearly that they will not be supported by uny one if they attempt to Prutslanlze the. rights of the International or uny other league.
