Mack tiuiN that he la not o for advanced In training as ne waa after the first week of spring practice at Shlbe Park a year ago. , In other word. Philadelphia was a warmer place in lll than Lake Charles Li this spring. Hut, iu Justlee to Lake Charles and IU enterprising and up-to-the-minute citizens, it must not be overlooked that the famous norther which pushed the mercury down toward the freezing point in the last few days is general all over the South, excepting, of course. In Miami and Ht. I ctersburg, Fla which are Immune from northers, Icebergs and anything else suggesting the polar zones. ' TI1EREFOUE Mr. Mack is viewing the weather bust here philo sophicallu. He feels that there mutt be an end to everything, even in the South. So he hope for balmy ceather this tceek. No Games on Three Days This Week THERE will be no game this uftcrnoon, but the bold Athletics will rehearse both morning and afternoon to lit themselves for further exhibition engagements. If you are Inquisitive and want to know the dates arranged for this week just hearken to this: , , Tuesday nnd Wednesday. Athletics against the Texaco team : Saturday ana 8nnday, regulars against Yanlgans. By resorting to the law of elimination one finds that no games will be played today. Thursday or Friday of this week. The Whites, or Yanlgans. arc still maidens. They have yet to break into the wlnuiug stakes, but they came mighty close to It yesterday. A little more of a punch would have pushed them to victory, but as It was they fought to a tic. The game developed some Intensive pitching nnd some moving-picture field ing, also some cold winds.

Two feuch events have been booked. Oer mantown nnd Bridgeport have arrnnged twin bills and the Trenton management is trying to do the same. Double-headers are not new to coge tons, as they have witnessed Eastern League clubs play two gomes In one night before.

McCann. who is big nud strong for his use also has a fine batting style and is getting his share of hits in every gnme. One of the leading young pitcher rookies with the Athletics is Edwin Rom mel, who won twenty-two games nnd lost fifteen for the Newark International League team last season. This tall, lmprcsslve-lookluB addition to Mack's staff Is laboring under a physical handicap. He has just recovered from the Uu and is at least eighteen pounds under weight. Edwin's fighting weight should be around the 185-pound mark, which cor Itctly presupposes n chunky-looking lad. Rommel believes he will build up to his " ormal mark by the first of Muy.

Walter Hagen Wins Battle of Nerves Over Jim Barnes WALTER HAGEN, open golf champion of the Vnlted States, udded another count to his belt over Jim Barnes, professional American champion, when he tank a nerve-racking four-foot putt on the thirty-seventh green at New Orleans yesterday to win the match and u .$1500 purse. It was one of the greatest battle-of-nerves matches ever witneFsed on nn American links. Barnes's raednl score was five strokes better. In his defeat was no loss of prestige, and to the contre.ry, It is now likely that the two greatest American golfers will be rematched for another large course In the near future. Seldom have more sensational shots been seen nor a more thrilling finish.

TTanen 3 Barnes 1 Hagen I up, thirty-Mvcn holes. It was the old story of the golfer far up with the feared opponent creeping up rapidly and the ninn iu the lead slipping. Barnes was four up when he won four out of the first five holes in the afternoon round, after they had finished all square iu the morning. Three fives and a six set back Long Jim to even terms. From this point the heart-throbs began. Barnes began a master assault to carry the tide which seemed to be sweep ing him back. A beautiful putt on the twelfth gave him the hole with a "birdie" four. Thirty yards back of bunker guarding the green on his drive to the thirteenth, Barnes dazzled the throng of nearly two thousand spectators by spinning a mashie niblick shot to the green. It popped along in a couple of bounces right to the pin and then dropped for an "eagle" two. Barnes was two up and five to play. Hagen, the home-bred champion, smiled. He played the next perfectly when Barnes was erratic and was only one down. A beautiful twelve-foot putt on the thirty-fifth gave Hagen a "birdie" und put the match on even terms again. BARKER seemed to be badly ratzlcd by this "stickiness" and unruffled play of his great rival. The tall Cornish man took more time than usual at the thirty-sixth tee. JIc took careful stance as he gated doxen the green aisle toalled in by the spectators. Hut a tcide ball with tremendous force hit one of the scurrying gallery far dottm the line. The ball bounced back to the fair and Barnes teas home in two. Hagen Is Undisturbed and Comes Through Strong BUT Hagen, who had made n bad slice off the tee, played a beautiful shot to tho green and this recovery seemed to get under Barnes's hide. He was faced by a ten -foot putt for the match when Hagen had played three. Barnrn foozled his chance for the match by putting less than four feet and they halved. When Hagen stuck his tee shot to the extra bole on the green, the fans nodded their heads. It was an old-timo finish between these two great stars, strongly reminiscent of their battle for honors nfter a triple tie some years ago in the metropolitan championship. Barnes wns shaken up again yesterday and needed two to make the green. ' At that, there was nothing on bis second shot and Jt didn't holu. Instead it just reached a dip in the green and Jim saw his chances rolling as the ball gilded down that Blope, a good twenty feet from the cup. His only chance was to hole ' It or stymie Hagen, and be made a brave effort to do one or the other. Absolute silence reigned" In the closely packed gallery as the little twack of utter on ball sounded. The ball came on up all the way but was two fret out unl failed to stymie Hagen, also by a narrow margin. The open champion walked tisM up to the four-foot putt and holed it. ne heaved an audible sigh of relief as he tinted smllinr to shake the hand of Barnes. Denarii. Crltrrlon I Trautwtln.

They had a Labor Day parade hero on the morning of September 1, 1002, and Instead of playing the usual morn ing and afternoon games a double-header wns put on In the afternoon. Theu the Chicago players dressed nnd got Into the old-fashioned two-horse bus which was to take them out to the park the veteran Cubs refused to let the rookie ride In the buB with them, but made him ride alone on top of t.ie vehicle. When tha players lined up for prac tice, Selee sent the little fellow to short. Trifle Buttcr-Flngered Evers never hud seen a big league ballplayer until thst Lnbor Day after noon, tie naa u prcny urn toot butter fingers In his first big league game, but managed to get eight of his ten chances. At bat he made one hit, drew a base on balls nnd struck out. Doc White, the left-hander, who later pitched for the White Sox while Evers was at the height of his career with the Cubs, was the first big league pitcher that Johnny fnced. Dusty Rhoades. who later starred with Cleve land In the American League, was Chi- i.. nUM.- In 1iIk enme. In tue second game of the double-header Evers batted against Chick Eraser, who later became a member of the Cubs. It is interesting now to look pack to Evers's first big league box score and note that he broke in as a "hortstop. Joe Tinker played third bnpc in the same game. Later, when Johnny was " -j . ..eennrl nnd Tinker to short, the combination became the most famous in the National laSCl . Rtrr Thomas nnd Charlie Doom played with the Phillies mat day. Not Auspicious Johnnie's start with the Cubs wasn't what might be called brilliant, as he made eight errors at short in the series with our Phils. When the club moved on to Brooklyn. Selee shifted Johnnlu over to second base, where the young ster showed to better advantage. In these early days Evers got little encour agement from his fellow Cubs. They could not take this boy seriously, and Johnnie by his aggressiveness, zeal and ambition simply bad to fight his way Into their good Braces. But Selee, with his uncanny ability to judge talent, recognized the true worth of this fighting youngster.

MERION IS EAGER TO START The Pickering Valley Hunt Club hockey team took undisputed pp.session of first plncc in the Quaker City Ama teur Hockey League and sent the pre vious leader, the Cynwyd Club, Into second place by beating the latter tho ironls to one. Philadelphia Cricket Club moved into a tie with Cynwyd by de feating the Aviators, seven goals to none. ' , Cynwyd's defeat was n surprise, con Adoring the fact that Captain Bal ou, Hill, Bnker nnd Henrlques were all in the regular llne-op. Hill scored the vnwyd gonl with ten seconds to go in he first period. Thereafter the better ihyslcal condition of Captain Dan New mil and his men showed its bcnchU in onccntrnted tenmplay.

Charlie noffner has dropped but two golf matches sinco he has been in the South, and this may be the reason fof the latest rumor, to the effect that Hoffner will go nbrosd with Barnes nnd Hagen to compete for the British champion ship, t But no one In Philadelphia seems able to verify or deny fhe truth of this rumor, so we will play the spotlight over Hoffner's record aown South, as mentioned above. Tho local star finished second In the Georgia open to Wilfred Iteld'a 74-74-148 with a 75-74-140. In the Florida open, Hoffner was tied the first day in second place. He shot a 72 tho next morning and went into a' tie for first place with Jim Barnes, Jock Hutchin son and Wilfred Beld. But in the aft ernoon the local player was all off with his putter. Hoffner had n fine chance at every hole to cut off a stroke, but every time he needed two nnd three putts, winding up with an 80, At that lIoffner finished no worse than fourth, and two strokes worse than Barnes.

All that Jim hits to do is stand up before Benny Valger, the flashy New Yorker, In the star bout of the regular Olympia's weekly show. The engage ment Is to lsst.or exactly SI minutes, five of which will be taken up by inter missions of equal time. Such an assign ment for any of our best boxers 1b no cinch, for young Mr. vaiger Is one of the leading glove wielders in the game today. Murphy has prepared for to night's session. He has put himself In tho very best of shape with the advice of Professor Adam Ryan, nnd Adam is confident that Valger will not be so flashy when they get together. What mukes the meeting quite Interesting la the fact that Murph doesn't believe In waiting anv time In picking out punches, lie just naturally bores in, whales away with both hands and .the nther fellow has to keen stenninc oil the time.
