OME of the blfj league hnscbull dubs
weeks age. nml will step Inte the
st en the sideline". Injuries hnve weakened seven tennis thus fur, nml mere,
is no telling hew tnnn ethers will he affected before the hairier drops.
It seems this jear that the plnjers either were mere unfortunate or took
tee man t bailees 'in the ehlbltlen games. The earlv se.inu eentests mean
nothing outside the gate reeelpts. and usuall the athletes de nothing but
spend the afternoon in the 111 U ball p.uks. The? get a
little prai tli p, but tlmt is all. Nothing else matters except
the lime the train le.ivcs for the next town.
This jenr T.v Cobb was giving nn exhibition of dating
base ritii'nlus and sprained bis tinkle. Steve O'Nell
stepped n foul tip with the end of one of his lingers and
new nures n split digit. Max Flntk. of the t'ubs, was
bit lit the head In a pitched bull and is laid up with a
tracked skull. Tils Speaker Injured his knee in practice,
and doe Weed also is hobbling around en one feet.

Cleveland and Pctrelt apparently are the hardest hit in the Ameiknn
League, and, St. Leuis and New Yerk In the National. Fla k and Terrj inn
easily be replaced, and the lied Sex nnd Washington nie net leuntlng en their
stnrs. Dugan and Walter .Inhnen are net in geed phjvluil shape, but were
net Injured en the held of bittle. Jumping doe Is reieverlng from stomach
trouble and Jehnsen lentiaeted a mild ease of flu down in Titmpa.

THEY say every cloud has a filler lining or something like that, and per
haps the disasters are all for the best. Nobedj can claim the New Yeik
clubs are top-heavy and will walk away with the 'penn.int. The Ciniits'wiU
lese only Frlsch, as (irnh will be In the opening game mid Tem.v will be rendv
in a week or se, but the Yanks will have the tough time.
All is net well with the Amerliiin League champions tills ,ear. Mutiny
has bceken out in the ranks, and some of the players hau epc'iiK defied the
manager. M. Hugglns. Carl Mes was fined 'M) for throwing the bull ever
the grandstand In Mobile, and ether athletes have net
acted as if they cared w nether the wen or lest. The
war correspondents, who toured through the Seuth with
the team, lefer te it as the Kuppert and Husten (irnnd
Opera Troupe. There aie tee manv stais and tee manv
temperaments. Unless order is restored nnd the players
get down te business, the Yanks will be in a bad wnj
this scas-eii.
The ball club leeks geed en paper nnd should win the
pennant. If they are beaten the pla.v ers can blame no
one but themselves.
Cleveland Is quallfjlng as the hard-luck ball club.
Last spring Wnmbsganss broke his wrist, nnd Lunte, the
utility inheldcr, sprained his nnsle before the opening
game. That made it neiessarj te drag1 Higgs Stephen

Cennie Mack Seeks Services of
Infielder for Veteran
Out-Gardener
MAY GO TO YANKEES
I.nwtmi W. AVIlt, otherwise known
ni "Whltey," 1r nbeut te be sold down
the river.
The tow-headed outfielder, who has
tel'ed for Cennie Mack for six long
seasons nnd qualified ns the veteran of
the sound, is en the mictien block, nnd
will be nwnrded te the highest bidder.
Several clubs arc nnxieus te get him,
nnd the bidding is fast nnd furious.
Ne favoritism will be shown, however,
nnd Cennie says it will be every man
for himself. The best offer will be
snapped up, nnd Whltey will be meas
ured for n new ial'rend ticket.
"Don't think for n moment flint Witt
ii through ns a ball plncr," said Con Cen
nie Mnck this morning. "He Is an
nble nthlele, a geed outfielder nnd has
many sears, of nctlve service befere
him. I knew I am allowing n nlunblc
man le leave us. but It must be done.
"I need nn infielder mere thnn nn
extrn outfielder. In ning Miller. Mf
Gowan, We'sh and Tilly Wnlker, the
outfield Is well tnken enre of. I want
nnether bnrd-hlttlng infielder, nnd hope hope
te get one.
"Waivers were asked en W itt n week
nge nnd nearly every club in the lengue
claimed him. Yesteidny I withdrew the
wnivcrs nnd notified the clubs tlmt he
wns en the mnrket and would go te the
highest bidder. I don't wnnt money.
I wnnt n geed Infielder."
It would net be at nil surprising if
the New Yerk Yankee klikcd in with
n cry geed offer bifore long. Miller
HuUglns needs nn experienced outfielder,
nml Witt would lit in nlcelj until ltuth
nnd Mcusel nerve their sentences. A
dinner like this is tee geed te be
passed up. , , .
.limmv Mitchell is nn experienced in
fielder. but It is doubtful if Onnle will
Inke him. He piebnblv would listen te

Mnnager Mack is might v sweet en this
