Hugh Jennings' List
Will Total Twenty-five
Detroit, Mich., Dec. 28.—The squad
of players the Detroit American
League baseball club will send to the
spring training camp at Waxaha
cliie ,Tex., will number twenty-five,
according to announcement by Presi
dent Frank Navin. Ten pitchers will
be in the squad. Including Foster, a
recruit from the Three-Eye League,
and Finnegan, purchased from the
St. Paul American Association team.
Seven infielders, five outfielders and
three catchers ■roill make up the re
mainder.
The uncertainties of the effect of
the draft on baseball, Navin said,
made it advisable to have a large
squad in training.

International League, in a state

and emerge stronger than ever from
the crisis that now besets minor
league baseball.
Mr. Barrow declined to discuss re
ports that he would be identified next

but admitted that he was consider
ing two good offers from major
league clubs.

BEYOND THE MIST
We may not see beyond the Gate—
The mounded portal of the sod;
Nor know what phantom dreams await
Beyond the final fall of clod.
No football comes—no given sign.
No beckoning—no backward glance—
Where love's red roses guard the line
Beyond which life may not advance.
We may not look into the sleep
where lilies lean across the day—
Joy broken there—how long or deep
Where life's lost winds kneel down to pray.
For knowing, we might find the sting
To take all heart from brave, true life,
Or Death to be too dear a thing
To give one another day of life.
Yes, the lure is strong. An Englishman now in this country, after
service in the front line trenches, reports that he saw a pal one afternoon
under shellfire deeply engrossed in a volume ntitled, "How to Putt"
AS FOR 1918—
1917 managed to maintain a fair share of its sport under the red
shadow of war.
How about 1918?
This is the year that will be the big test Sport, through war's mighty
preparation, could move along.
But how sport will hold up when the long casualty lists begin to arrive
is another affair.
It will keep going, but at what speed is not to be estimated this far in
advance of the spring drive.
KELLEY'S PICK
Some time ago at a baseball gathering a heated debate arose as to who
might be the greatest outfielder—Ty Cobb or Tris Speaker.
But Joe Kelley, who had no axes to grind, finally spoke out bluntly
and to the point.
"The greatest player I have ever known (and I've seen most all of
them) sits here." He slapped Willie Keeler on the shoulder.
"You may have your Oobbs and your Wagners and your Lajoies. I grant
them .ill wonderfully great. But Willie Keeler is his heyday for mine.
There was a man who knew what to do with a bat. He could make a
base runner out of a truck horse. He always protected ths runner. And
scientific? Say, there wasn't anything he couldn't do with the stick. He'd
bluff the infield in, then tap the ball somewhere over their heads. He
could hit to any field on any kind of ball pitched within reach. And when
the outfield played back in their regular positions he could drop a bunt and
beat it ninety-nine times in a hundred. He had the swinging bunt down
to a science and could pull the ball past the pitcher toward the second
baseman every clip.
"There has been only one Keeler. He was the greatest of them all."
Not one other of the old Orioles, save Keeler himself, denied the bold
statement. And the Orioles are nobody's "yes" men. If they had not
agreed with Kelley the presence of Keeler would not have deterred them
from expressing dissent.

class sport.
Prolniblc Lineup
Present indications are that when
the whistle blows for the opening
flve years, but that now, as a result
of the war they were coming around

not for the few specialized stars.
"Get everybody into the game. Is
the slogan that the colleges should
have now," said Dr. Sargent.

be found at forwards; Herman at
center, and Sheaffer and J. Roberts

Has Fifteen Games
Gettysburg, Pa., Dec. 28.—Coach
Leathers had the candidates for the
basketball team working hard for
several weeks prior to the Christmas
vacation. Captain George Baker and
L. K. Scheffer are the only two letter
men on the squad from last year's
successful team.
•Wells, a letter man of two years
ago, who was ineligible last year, is
out for the team and will likely be
found at his old guard position.
Herman and Campbell, two substi
tutes of last year, are fighting for
one of the forward positions. Zeigler,
of the freshman class, is showing up
well at guard. The serious problem
is to get a satisfactory center. There
are plenty of candidates, but no one
so far has done consistent work.

at the opening of college January 3

PITTSBURGH TO
PLAY AT CAMPS
Plans Under Way For Early
Season Exhibition Games
With Major Teams
Pittsburgh, Dec. 28. —If plans
which Barney Dreyfuss, president of
the Pittsburgh club, is now working
on mature, the officers and men sta
tioned at various cantonments in the
-South will have an opportunity to
witness a series of exhibition games
between the Pirates and an Amer
ican League club, yet to be selected.
These games, which are almost cer
tain to be arranged, will give the
men in khaki the last glimpse of two
major league teams in action that
many of them will have for a long
time, and in addition will, Dreyfuss
believes, do a great deal to aid the
movement to organize teams and
leagues among the soldiers on a
sound basis.
The tour was suggested by Army
officials, who broached the subject to
the Smoky City magnate recently.
Anxious to do something in his pow
er to help entertain the fighting men,
Dreyfuss instantly acquiesced and
began to lay his plans. He opened
negotiations with one or two Amer
ican League clubs, and it is expected
that within a day or two an an
nouncement will be made of the
route which the teams will take. It
is planned to hold two games in each
cantonment visited, the Pirate
youngsters to meet the camp team in
a morning contest and the regulars
to hook up with the American Lea
guers in the afternoon.
A delay in the completion of the
plans has been caused by the fail
ure of the Pittsburgh club to select
a training camp for 1918. A num
ber of towns in Florida have, put in
bids for the team, and "Cap" Neale,
the Pirate scout, is now in the South
looking over those camp sites which
appear most promising. He will be
joined by Manager Hugo Bezdek in
the near future, and upon Bezdek
will rest the choice of the town to
be favored by the presence of the
Corsairs. As soon as it is definitely
decided where the team will train
the proposed tour will be mapped
out in all its details.
Incidentally it is reported from
Pittsburgh that a number of deals
for players are brewing there. Bez
dek, who now is In California, Is to
start for Pittsburgh within a day or
two for the purpose of closing the
deals. No intimation is given as to
what players are included in the cal
culations of the Pirate president and
magnate.

New York, College athletic condi

legiate Athletic Association, which
will face probably the most momen
tous situation of its history. Re
ports from all sections of the country
will be presented, and the prospects
for a continuation of intercollegiate
sport discussed. The attitude of the
association will be influenced to a
considerable degree, it is expected,
by advice from high government of

athletics to war service.
Among the addresses to be de
livered are:
Timely Topics
"Athletics for the Service of the

president of General Education

These addresses will be followed
by discussion on "What More Can
the Colleges Do to Win the War?"
As a forerunner of the annual
convention of the National Collegiate
Association, the Graduate Managers'
Association met lust night to con
sider recommendations vital to inter
collegiate sport during the war. One
proposal given consideration was the
curtailment of the football schedules
for next summer, especially the pre

Peck coached the Culver Military

with one exception. The Culver lads

when he left to join his battery pre

The British-Canadian recruiting
mission in Chicago yesterday Issued
an official appeal to baseball players
to enlist because of their natural
adaptability to grenade throwing.
"Baseball players can do better at
grenade throwing than any other
men," says a bulletin issued by re

dinary men for this service, but this
is an age 6f specialization, and ball
players are better fitted to become
grenade throwers than any other
closs of men."
