Janvrin's Failure to Report Halts Advance
GRIFF has a pretty fair ball club this year, but Is likely to get off to a
bad start. His team will develop slowly and is not expected to reach
its top form until the end of May. That's how it looks now, three weeks
before the opening engagement. The infield will be weak until Janvrln Is

'Harotd Shanks has been moved to second and Davis Is playing short.
This rookie Is twenty years old, weighs about 13S pounds, bats right
ha'nded and handles himself' nicely in the field. In 1917 he played out in

Return of Rice Makes Outlook Brighter
EVERYBODY; Is happy over the return of Sam Rice, the slugging out
fielder. Last year Itlce went into the army and Griff almost Jumped
off the dock. Sam was missed and his manager believes the club would
have finished higher in 1918 had he played all season. Rice is a .300
hitter and very good outfielder.
.Clyde Milan is still on the job, which means center field will be ably
attended to. Shannon, the twin brother of Red Shannon on the Athletics,
at, present is playing In the right garden, but is likely to vacate In favor of
Horace Milan or Menosky, who Is on his way home from France.
Young Milan Clyde's brother hit .407 In seventeen games In 1916
andr288 in. forty-seven games In 1917. He Is expected to do well this year
as an extra outfielder and' pinch hitter. Rice, the two Milar.s, Menosky
and Shannon should be able to take care of the outposts and drive in
some runs.
OAM AQXEW has strengthened the catching corps, and,Uriff is
highly pleased with the trade which took hint from the lied
Box. Vol Picinich, who caught for Connie Mack in 19ttl and who
teas sold to Atlanta in 191", will be Sam's assistant, while Gharrity

PETE HERMAN PRESENT
By JAMES S. CAROLAN
CHAMPION'S and championship con
tenders are flocking to this city. The
Quaker metropolis seepis to be the cen
ter around which the leading sons of
fistlana revolve.
Leonard, Kllbane and Kid Williams
did most of their fighting here, but now
it seems to be more popular than ever.
With Benny Leonard back from the
coast. Jack Brltlon located in New York,
Pete Herman again with us and Kllbane
among us for a few days, action among
the headllners Is Increasing.
Pete Herman arrived here yesterday
afternoon from his home In New Orleanr
and immediately headed for Jack
O'Brien's health studio. Herman wasn't
alone. Upon his arrival he found such
boys as Kllbane. Cal Delaney, Johnny
Mealy. Joe Tiplltz, Frankie Daley,
Frankle Blown, Jack Itusso, Benny I
Kaufman and dozens' of others working
out.
Six Former Foes
It seems strange that Kllbane should
happen to find six of his former oppon
ents working at the same time. Kllbane
twice fought Frankle Daley, battled
Benny Kaufman and Happy Davis once
nnd recently engaged Mealy and Frankle
Brown. Cal Delaney, his present .spar
ring partner, Is the slxtn. All six were
spanning In different parts of the gym.
Kllbane exchanged greetings with all
the boys, proved to be very sociable,
then excused himself to engage in a
lively game of handball.
Philadelphia Jawn was kept very
active keeping .the boys on the move.
He refereed a spirited game of handball
between Kllbane and Delaney. Kllbane
also walked away with the honors after
thirty warm minutes of battle.
Herman did his sparring with Jack
Lester. The bantam king meets Al
Shubert over the twelve round distance
before the Peerless A. C. in-Baltimore
on Tuesday evening. The champion has
been fighting himself back Into cham
pionship form.
Kilbane Works
Kllbane h mself did plenty of work.
Following his handball exhibition he
boxed six rounds with Cal Delaney, then

The unusual part of the entire

a lot of time instructing Mealy' how
to block the kind of right that sent
the home entry Into dreamland. The
other five saw Instructor Kllbane

Philadelphia Jawn, the super tutor,
was a silent witness.
The feather champion la anxious to
make It two knockouts within the week,
and Judging from his fighting with De

Mealy saw Kilbane for the first time
since he passed out at the Oiymp'a last
Monday night. As soon as Mealy spotted
the champion at work he walked over
and extended his hand.
Cheers Mealy
"You did well," said Kilbane cheer
fully. "Don't let a little thing like a de
feat discourage 'you. You can punch
pretty well yourself. I can verify that,"
Then the champion proceeded to show
the few onlookers a big black bruise
on his right hip, the result of one of
Mealy's rights crushing against it in
that first round.
"You know they all can hit if they

TWO REGULARS
Hill and Bertham Declared
Ineligible Shortly Before
Start of First Game
FRANKFORD WINS,
fi.l
By PAUL PREP
Coach Harry Snyder's hopes of bring
ing the Intcrscholastlc Baseball League
championship to Northeast this spring
were given quite a setback yesterday
when it was' announced shortly before
the game wjth Frankford began that two
members or the nine were Ineligible.
The two players to fall by the wayside
or somewhere along Lehigh avenue are
Nelly Hill, the star outfielder, who
for t(ie last two seasons' played a great
game for Central High, and Bertham,
the most likely looking candidate to try
to fill the vacancy left by the gradua
tion of "Pep" Young, at first base.
Won Regular Positions '
Hill and Bertham practiced with the
.Northeast squad for three weeks and
had won positions on th vinit.. nv..
They were all primed for the opening
game with Frankford. Yesterday after
noon, however. Henry Brachhold, ath
letic director at Northeast, discovered
that Hill was ineligible to represent
Northeast for several 'weeks, as he has
been attending the Lehigh avenue school
but four weeks.
The loss ,of Bertham was even more
unexpected. Coach Snyder was unable
to attend the game yesterday, so turned
matters over to Brachhold. Bertham
went out to the athletic field, Jumped
into ihls suit, took part in the batting
snd fielding practice only to be called
to one side and told a few minutes be
fore starting time that he was ineligi
ble. It seems that through a misun
derstanding one of the instructors forgot
to give Bertham a scholastic standing on'
the last report. He will be on the side
l.nes until tho next report May j.
Travis the Star
With these two regulars out of the
same game. Acting Coach Brachhold
found It necessary to turn to his extra
pitchers for assistance. Wilson was
shifted lo first base while Hellmlck arftl
Partridge went to the outfield. T.iV
Herb Travis, the versatile athlete of
Frankford, was In fine form and had the
Archives missing by a few inches. His
fast ball had the Northeast bovs com
pletely baffled, as they had been fed onlv
slow ones 'In practice. In all Travis
fanned fourteen and allowed but four
hits,
Travis, however, didn't confine all his
efforts to pitching. .He took a leading
part on the offensive, getting three safe
hits, one of which was a home run.
Perry and Rejnecke. of Frankford, had

To a Recruit
(A Trifle In the Manner of Mr. Klngsley)
.'i;
When alt Ihc game is young, ladi
' And all the cheers arc loud;
When wild acclaim is sprung, lad,
From each exultant crowd;
While still your pulses leap, lad,
, Where all the world's aglow,
Don't drink It in too deep, lad,
';' For some day you xcill knoiv.
For when the game is old, tad, .
A few brief years away,
You'll find the croivd is cold, lad,
That cheered you yesterday;
For those who nolo may show you
A tfdeome to Fame's Inn
Have only time to know you ,
As')ong as you can win. - .
TTTK ARK quite pleased lo report that the Hon. George Ade, a member of
the Foremost Americans Club, after a winter t.t Bellealr, is now ready;
to Play the Game of his Life over his home-made Indiana golf course. In
his final workout nt St. Augustine he had speed, control and a hop to his
fast one from tee to green and vice versa. It Is always a pleasing- thought
to know that one of the World's Greatest Institutions is back In mid
season form again.
It was only a few years ago that Messrs. Ade and Sewell ford organ
ized the Willing Ears Company, Ltd., nnd slipped us a few shares of th
preferred stock. Unfortunately, war broke out about that time and most
of the Willing-Listeners had little time for anything hut war stuff.
....
Dt7V as soon as the league of nations is settled one tray or another
and the duffers begin to flock back to the anqiant green, the
stock In this company should' be well-qigh priceless.
Many Are Called But Fciv Quit
rpHE dope that Dutch Leonard would retire from baseball In order te
devote closer attention to his raisin farm, started a discussion as to th
number of hall players who had quit the game while still in their prime.
Mike Donlin retired for a year or two back around 1906, but Mik
heard the call of the wild again very shortly and reported for work In
center field. Frank Baker also gave up the bat for theIioe and plow
handle In 1915, but he, too, yielded to the lure of the pastime and the
fragrant odor of a Lot of Money and came back in again.
Xot very many cease firing as long as they can make -the daily head-
I line once In a while and provoke the
long as hey can collect the proper stipend. Here and there some well- , ','
known player drops out for a season, but a year's rest seems to chang ' x"f
his opinion and he is sooh back again, pursuing the two-base hit or , M
striking out in a pinch. . ,jS
'THE spectacle of a star ball player quilling in his prime and re-
1
mainlnc out of the fold for good and all is loo rare to be re-
called. 11 has very likely happened in'late years, as anything can
happen once in this extremely bizarre existence, but for the life of
tfj tee can't recall if note-.
The Odds-on Array
VERT few ball clubs In recent years have faced the season as strong
favorites for the flag as the Cubs are this April.
The Giants were even a trifle stronger spring candidates back in 191T,
winning with something to spare, but the Cub outlook today is' almost as
pink and serene as the Giant outlook wnsthen.
Even rival ball Clubs admit tha,t Chicago's chance Is the best what
with Alexander, Vaughn, Hendrlx, Tyler and others to pitch them along;
the winning way.
Alexander had three'great years before he left In khaki, and Vaughn's
last two seasons have been hlstbest. If both are near tlelr top form, ths
flag race will be almost a canter for the Cubs. And even It one slips; the
remaining staff can hold its own with any In the country.
'
i.W 6a?I duo that can start out with two fine pitchers, aided and
abetted by-two or three others above the average, has a bulge
on all opposition.
Always
A little missed putt, now and then,
ilay happen to all golfing men.
Hut when it docs lo star or lout
It brings a lot of cussing out,
AS JULY 1 approaches a number of damp strongholds, one of the popu
lar verses of the day begins, "Backward, O bnckwnrd turn, time In
your flight." Ever hear It? ' '
IP PROHIBITION prohibits, howsoever, It at least will do some good la'
suppressing the Soused Quartet which Insists on spilling a cluster of
plaintive melody on or after the fourth drink.
