"SPEEDY" RUSH, TIGER COACH, HANDS OUT TIMELY POINTS ON SPRING TRAINING
SOMETHING FOR
HALF HOLIDAY
Crack State League Team to
Meet Local Independents;
Line-up
By l'cter I'. Carney
(Editor National Sports Syndicate.)
In most localities there seems to be
an unwritten law that makes Satur
day a holiday. Very few stores can
afford to grant such a holiday
throughout the entire year, but em
ployes of banks, mercantile and in
dustrial llrms do enjoy it weekly.
From May until .December the lover
of outdoor sports can always lind ten
nis, baseball, football or trapshootlng,
but after December outdoor sport in
' most sections of the country ceases to
be popular, at least to the city fellow.
There is one exception. In late years
trapshooting has become an all-the
year-'round sport, and many clubs
hold weekly shoots. Of course, sport
lovers who have not yet become ac
quainted with trapsnooting spend
their Saturday afternoons and other
spare moments at clubs, theaters, or
indoor sporting events.
The Boys on the Farm
But how about the young man who
lives on a farm? Winter time is
really his joy season, for during the
spring, summer and autumn he has
very little time for pleasure. How
ever, when ho does seek recreation ho
holds to the outdoors, lie kills time
In the fields and woods. Hunting Is
his favorite pastime. Nearly all farm
ers have done more or less shooting,
but at the present time in many States
game laws are so rigidly enforced that
"open" seasons are very short, and
in other localities game Is scarce,
hence clay birds are pleasure pro
ducers.
Where the people of the farm do
not live near a gun club, they find a
good substitute in the hand trap. With
this device, some shells and targets,
the young man can give the whole
family an afternoon of pleasure. Be
sides, once a trapshooter he becomes
a part of a short so fascinating that
it has captured the fancy of over
600,000 Americans, and trapshooting
also improves the participant's accu
racy and quickens his judgment so
that when it is his fortune to go afield
in a game country his bag limit is
assured.
Report Few Changes in
Baseball Schedules ;
Two Leagues Make Cuts
Philadelphia, March 10. Judging
from the various major and minor
league baseball schedules made public
to date there is to be little change in
the general playing scheme for the
season of 1917. A majority of the
leagues have selected opening and
closing dates which correspond close
ly to those of the last few years.
The chief changes are to be found
in the schedules of the International
League and the American Association.
In round ligures these two organiza
tions have cut six weeks off their reg
ular seasons in order to provide dates
for the lnterleague series of forty
eight games to be played at tlie close
of the pennant races in the two asso
ciations.
The National and American Leagues
will open on Wednesday, April 11 and
close oii Thursday, October 4, which
will permit the first game of the
"World's Series being played on Satur
day, October 6, if Eastern or Western
teams are competitors, on Monday,
October 8, in case the series proves to
be an intersectional contest. In other
respects there are few novelties—the
Pacific Coast League having the long
est season, while one or more of the
Class D leagues will stage the shortest
pennant races. The list of opening
and closing days as announced to date
from official or semi-official sources
are as follows:
National League opens April 11,
closes October 4; 154 games.
American League opens April 11.
closes October 4; 15 4 games.
International League opens April 17,
closes August 5; 112 games.
South Atlantic League opens April
19, closes August 11; 100 games.
Western League opens April 18,
closes September 3; 140 games.
Southern League opens April 12,
closes September 15; 154 games.
Texas League opens April 5, closes
September 3; 154 games.
Pacific Coast League opens April 3,
closes Ootober 28; 208 games.
American Association opens April
11, closes August 5; 112 games.
Blue Ridge League opens May 1,

LOUISVILLE LANDS THORPE
Louisville, Ky., March 10.—A spe
cial telegram from the traning camp
of the Louisville American Association
club at Athens, Ga., to-day asserted
that James Thorpe, star athlete, will
be a member of the team and play in
the outfield the coming season. It
was stated that Thorpe was acquired
as a part of the deal when Pitcher
Middleton was sold to the New York
National League club. Thorpe played
last season with Milwaukee. He is
now with the Giants.

SATURDAY EVENING,
COACH"SPEEDY" RUSH FAVORS
SPRING FOOTBAL
Gives Chance to Pick Material Early j Famous Tiger Instruc
tor Shows Advantages of Gridiron Game; Says "It Is
a Man's Sport"
Head Coach John "Speedy" Rush, of l
Princeton University, Is a busy man
these days, with spring track and foot
ball training- well under way, but he
knocked oft and last night came to this
city to attend the Princeton Alumni
dinner, in the Harrisburg Club.
While here he was the guest of his
old class and roommate, R. Pal
mer, of this city. While at Prince
ton Mr. Palmer was a star football
player, being selected as an All-Ameri
can end, two years. The two old
Princetonlans discussed many things
reminiscent of their school days.
Although Coach Rush was very busy
socially, he granted an interview, tell
ing of the spring football training,
which is taking up much of his time
at present. (Spring training is one of
the latest phases of the griddron sport,
only having been tried out by some of*
the larger colleges and universities re
cently.) When asked the advantages
of spring training Coach Rush said:
Spring Training
"I think it is the greatest thing
in the world, and since we have start
ed it at Prlceton It will be continued.
The main advantage of spring training
is that It gives the coach an idea of
the material he will have to work with
the next season. It also accustoms the
players to handle the ball, and eliml-1
nates the teaching of fundamentals In
the fall practice. As soon as the men
become hardened in the fall, scrimmage
may be held and greater progress Is
made."
"What does spring training consist'
of?" was asked. In the main it con
sists in teaching the men the funda
mentals of the game, such as falling
on the ball, passing, punting and great
est of all, forming interference," said'
Coach Rush.
When interrogated as to what he
thought was the most important fac
tor in winning football games Coach
Rush declared that good interference
does more than perhaps any other
thing. "Any person can carry the ball
with good interference, but the best of
men cannot carry it far, no matter
how good a runner he is, without In
terference," said Rush. "I'm an advo
cate of good Interference and in coach
ing I always lay a great deal of stress
on this department of the game." |
STEELTON BLANKS
CENTRAL BUNCH
Lower River Lads Hold Local
Tossqps Scoreless From Field;
Frank Scores 17 Points
Blanking the Central High School
quintet from the field last night, on
Felton Hall floor, the Steelton High
School five captured trie game and tied
the local lads for third place, in the
Central Pennsylvania Scholastic
League race. The final score counted
31 to 17.
The Steelton lads showed superb
teamwork and displayed unusually
clever guarding, covering so closely
that the Central players did not even
get a chance to sh\ot even from the
middle of the floor. All of Central"!
points were scored by Frank, from the
fifteen-foot mark. His work was sen
sational, shooting 17 out of 25.

LES DAItCY TO GO WEST
New York, March 10. —Announce-
ment is expected from the much
heckled Les Darcy that he intends
living up to the agreement signed for
him by Tim O'Sullivan, calling for a
ten-round bout the night of April 10
with Mike Gibbons at Milwaukee. Ed
die Kane, manager of the St. Paul
phantom, expects to make a special
trip to Goshen, N. Y., where Darcy is
hibernating, and get the final word
from the Australian.
Les, having been stopped in his en
counter by Governor Whitman's de
termination to prevent Darcy's appear
ance In a New York ring. Is a sad
dened young man. His intention to
show New York what a scrapper he
is has been laid away for the time
being, and he is preparing to make a
study of timetables regarding trains
that will carry him to the free and un
trammeled West
TECH FIVES VICTORIOUS
In games played last night at Mid
dletown the varsity and reserve lives
of the Technical High School, defeated
the first andi second teams of the Mid
dletown High School. The former won
by the score of 22 to 21 and the lat
ter hung up a 26 to 1G score on the
JMMdletowa scrub*
"How are prospects for a good team
at Princeton next season?" he was
asked. "I am up against it for next
season, as only one man who started
the Yale game last season will bo
back. Tlie others will have all gradu
ated by the time football gets under
way. It will be especially hard to
turn out a good team next season, ow
ing to the fact that the Freshman
team, which every coach In larger col
leges depends upon to draft playors. Is
none of the best. The Freshman team
last season was one of the weakest
which has represented Princeton for
some years and lost the majority of Its
games. For this reason good material
Is scarce.
"Princeton has always been handi
capped in football and other sports
because of the small student body.
Yale and other large col
leges, which teams we have to compete
with, have student bodies twlco or
three times as large as ours and there
fore have more material to draw from.
This is one of the greatest setbacks at
Princeton," he said.
In discussing the ability of players
In smaller colleges, Coach Rush said
that he believed some of the best foot
ball players In existence to-day are
players on such teams. "They do not
get a chance to shine so brightly, how
ever. because they do not have the
team behind them to give them a start.
A player must have interference to at
least get a start or he cannot advance
far with the ball. Good teams behind
a player have made many a star, while
many others would! have been stars had
they been playing behind good teams.
Lack SerlounneaH
"Another reason why small college
players do not make a better show
ing Is because they ao not take the
game as serious as players In larger
colleges and universities.* Nor do
they train, or practice as consistently.
To play football a man must train and
practice well, or he never attains a
very high plain. If he Is a good play
er with natural ability without train
ing. with training he wil be just twice
as good. What is worth doing at all
Is worth doing well, and football can
not be playedi right without training.
"I'think football is one of the great
est games In the world to-day, not only

as a physical but as a mental develop
er. Football makes a fellow use his
head and. it prepares tllm for battles
which he will have to nght in the fu
ture. It teaches him to rely on him
self in after life. To my mind there
is no athletic game played in a clean
er or more sportsmanlike manner. It
Is played in a spirit of fairness to ail
and it teaches a man to be square in
his dealings in later life.
Kootbnll In .llnn'H Game
"One of the greatest things the game
does, however, Is that it makes a man
physically fit, and in these strenuous
days a business man needs a strong
body as well as a strong mind, foot
ball develops both to* a marked de
gree."
"Football is a man's game and it
takes a man to play it. Weaklings and
those physically unsound cannot and
should not attempt to play the game,"
said Coach Rush.
Coach Rush ' inquired about the

iNOW FRED FULTON
i IS HOLDING OUT
Wants .SIO,OOO to Box Moran;
Short Time Ago Was Willing
to Fight For $5,000
New York, March 10. Just a short
time ago Fred Fulton, the elongated
plasterer, of Rochester, Minn., was
willing to take $5,000 to go to Cuba
and there box Frank Moran a 40-
round bout. That was a couple of
months back, though, and Frederick
hadn't put the crusher on Tom Cowler'
and Charley YVeinert, and didn't have
theflne press stuff that is his now.
Now Fred, of Rochester, wants no
I less than SIO,OOO to box Frank Moran
ten rounds in Madison Square Garden.
And he wants an option on 40 per
cent, of the house besides. James J.
Johnston was deaf Ins a clam when
that proposal was made to him.
"I'll give you SIO,OOO for two lights,"
said James. "Tho first to be with Carl
Morris and the second with Moran."
"I'll take nothing less than $15,000
for the pair of bouts," answered Fred.
"For Morris alone I'll demand $7,500
for my end with the 40 per cent, priv
ilege, and for Moran singly, SIO,OOO
and the percentage."
"Oh, you will, will you?" returned
James J. "What a considerate little
fellow you are, Freddie, I'll tell vou
what you do. Go pack up and beat it
frorrt here as far as I'm concerned."
"But I have eight fights practically
arranged in the West," said Fred, "and
they'll net me something like $27,000,
; and they are not against anybody who
is tough."
"Then hie thee to the soft ones and
the twenty-seven thou," said Johnston.
Then he advised his caller not to slam
the door when he went out.

THE DUFFER'S SPRING SONG
Spring is upon the road,
And over tho fragrant loam
The traps are whispering to me
And tho bunkers are calling me home —
llome In tho summer's clime,
Home where 1 waste my time
In the sanded deepa
AVhere the golf ball creeps
And the duffer must spend his prime.
11)17 BASEBALIJ
(As she may be writ for tho coming October review.)
' The 1917 race was a close battle all the way between the Reds and the
Cardinals. The Reds took the jump in the infantry drill, but the Cardinals,
through their expert work with sabres and bayonets, began to forge ahead late
in July."
"The Cubs were strong in the cavalry department, but weakness In the
Infantry soon threw them back into the second division. Accidents also
played a part in the Cub slump, as their first sergeant was badly injured by
leaning heavily upon the sharp point of a bayonet."
"The Giants were a big disappointment through lack of team play in their
daily drill. It seemed Impossible to weld the two factions, composed of Zim
merman, Scliupp, Holko and Hcrzog, on the one part, and Robertson, Burns,
Benton and Fletcher on the other."
"The big feature of the American League race was the all around effi
ciency of the New York Yankees. They not only proved to be star performers
with the rifle, saber, bayonet and machine gun, but through the untiring leader
ship of Captain T. L. Huston soon had the heavy artillery under way. The
captain spurred his men forward by offering a bonus of SSOO to each man who
at morning practice would drill four hours for 100 consecutive days. Tho
Tanks had their usual bad luc-k, when three of their best bomb throwers de
veloped sore arms and two of their adjutants had bad cases of Charley Horse.
But, in spite of this, they took a. big jump on the lield. The big disappoint
ments were the Red Sox and the Tigers, who foolishly wasted most of their
spring training at batting, throwing and fielding, and so got a bad start when
the season opened and the first drill was pitched—that Is, called."
AND THEN AGAIN—
There are now in this country something over 80 leagues, comprising over
10,000 professional players.
If these different leagues would all take up the scheme of military drill
and training which Captain Houston's enthusiastic support has launched
there would soon be ten regiments of the best trained athletes in the world
ready for any call.
The bulk of these range in age from twenty-one to thirty-one, and moct
of them, through necessity, are in the finest possible physical shape. They
have the stamina for long marches and the eye for target work. And in
of slowing up their baseball play, this military training would help break tho
routine of practice and play and would be in the nature of a mental and physi
cal diversion.
CAP HUSTON'S PART
Captain Huston is not only a citizen of exceptional ability, but one also of
exceptional enthusiasm and determination.
He has tho habit of finishing what he starts. As a main sponsor for this
preparedness scheme among ball players he can be counted upon to see it
through. And while it wouldn't mean a cent's extra revenue to him, the cap
tain -would as soon have the Yankees win that military award offered by Bun
Johnson us he would to have them win a pennant.
Sir: They have cannon balls one can shoot fourteen miles. Why can't
they make golf balls one can drive that far? NIKKO.
They can, if one could use a cannon for a driver.
"Darcy tried to enlist in Australia and they wouldn't let him." says a pro
moter who should hire a hall and issue free passes to the marines.
Benny Kauff, known as the "Ty Cobb of the Feds," finished 104 points
back of Ty last season, which, you might say, was a tip-off on the Feds. Then,

ranging 60 points beyond Kauff. Do your own figuring if any further sequel is
desired.
