NOT SPEEDY ON THE BASES
Manager Jennings Deplores Lack of
Speed by Catchers In Getting
Around Diamond.
Speaking of his regular backstop,
Oscar Stanage, Hughey Jennings re
marked recently: "It's about the hard
est task In baseball to get a catcher
that can run the bases. Roger Bres
nahan Is the king of all catchers run
ning the bases. Hut he learned to
skip around the sacks before he be
came a catcher. Roger, you know,
broke Into baseball as a pitcher, then
became an lnllelder and turned to
catching when he wont to work for
John .1. McGraw. I used to be a catch
er myself, but I think the reason they
make such poor huso runners Is be
cause they do fo much bending and
squatting on their knees. This de
velops the muscles In their legs and
shortens their stride when running.
Just look 'em over and see if I'm not
right. Few of them ever attempt to
get up speed on the base lines. As a
rule you have to bat 'era around the
diamond, like pitchers."
Beck of Boston has made eight
home runs, seven three-base" hits and
16 doubles.

HOW ST. LOUIS MANAGER WINS
KAISER ENTERTAINS AMERICANS ON HIS YACHT
Winning Teams Are Always Hustling
for Every Little Point Team
Work Necessary.
BY JOHN O'CONNOR,
(Copyright, lm, liy Ji:,.!i It Howies.)
Keeping every player on bin toes
every minute of every game Is what
wins and thin regardless of our own
showing so far this reason. Whenever
phynrs begin to touch their heels to
the ground, either fleldlttg, hitting or
running the bases, they aro getting
ready to loso n lot of ball ttnnies.
All the winning teams I have played
with, or managed, have been teams
that kept hustling every minute for
every point. The study of heel and
too was the most Important. Pernoni
outside the business do not realize the
Importance of this. A base runner,
for Instance, who moves off first with
his heels down, loses nearly three feet
In reaching second because he was not
on his toes and jumping when he
started. Inches count In modern base
ball and men who lose feet are bad
ball players no matter how good they
are.
To win every man on a team, not
only those on the fluid, but the coach
era, must know what Is to be done.
In this experience and familiarity
with each other' stylo of play helps
a lot. If one man does not know the
habits and Btyle of the others he Is
likely to destroy all team work and
ruin the best laid plans of the others.
It Is the duty of a manager, as I see
it, to try to keep up this enthusiasm
provided he can force the pace of the
men without damaging them other
wise. His position Is a hard one. He
must know his men Intimately, and
understand their temperaments. He
must handle each man separately, yet
avoid all favoritism and partiality. He
must be strong enough to squelch cer
tain men, and support others. I am
speaking of the duties of a manager
Impersonally. Every manager has the
same things to contend with and his
duties on the playing field really are
the lightest of all.
If a man'a heart is not In his work
and If he lacks confidence In himself
and his club he cannot win. What
winnlug I have done In the past la
due to this hustling, aggressive style
of play which I learned chiefly under
Tebeau and with the old Cleveland
Mi
Jack O'Connor.
team. Perhaps we carried aggressive
ness to the extreme, but It won, and I
would like to see more of It on these
more recent teams. Good team work,
aggressiveness, gumencsa and a little
hitting ability will carry a team a long
ways and with good pitching will
make it a winner.
PLAYERS EAT FAR TOO MUCH
Overeating Has Done More Harm to
Baseball Than Anything Else,
Says Manager Griffith.
Every careful baseball manager
watches his players closely In regard
to what they ent. It's easy enough
to tell when a player has been drink
ing, but it Is hard for the managers
to tell, unless they see them eating,
just when a player has overeaten.
All managers agree that overeating
Is a mighty bad thing for a ball play
er and will do almost as much toward
hurting his game as anything else he
could do. Some players want to put
on weight and think If they eat a
whole lot they will gather in the de
sired few pounds. Tbey might put on
the weight, but with every ounce they
put on they take ao much off of their
quickness.
vereatlnir has done me '"m to
the world in general, and ball players
In particular, than almost anything
else I know of," says Manager Grif
fith. "It Isn't very often that you run
across an athlete who doesn't know
when to stop eating, but sometimes
you do, and then you have to watch
him like a hawk. It' a very bad
habit."

CITY'S NEW TIPPLE
Buttermilk Adopted by Chicago
ans as Best Hot Weather
Drink.
It Is Chasing Mint Julep From Bar
and Haa Relegated 8undae to
Rear of Drug Store Deal
er Busy,
Chicago. Buttermilk the drink
that Is muking Chicago famous.
If you don't live strictly on a but
termilk diet during the hot weather
you don't belong, and dairymen, doc
tors, drug-store keepers, club men,
caterer and restauranteur have as
much as agreed upon it.
According to people who devote
much of their time to the laudable
labor of selling thirst quenching Bev
erages, buttermilk has for the last
five years steadily Increased In popu
larity as a hot-weather drink until
today It is the most sought after of
all, having surpassed such rivals as
the once-favored ice-cream soda, the
mint smash or the entrancing julep.
When the thermometer hovers be
tween 88 and 95, buttermilk becomes
the cup that cheers and never ine
briates, no matter how plenteously
Imbibed. Drink experts say bo. They
say that this once more or less de
spised liquid ia now called for more
frequently than any other in country
clubs, In drug Btores, in hotels. In
restaurants and In buffets.
It Is served in the country clubs In
stead of highballs and other possibly
attractive but certainly heating mix
tures, being put up in long, cool-appearing
cylindrical bottle. It Is ad
vertised in drug stores "from our own
churn," and la outselling the soda and
sundae. It 1 made by private fami
lies from "lacto-bacllH" tablets, which
are placed In unskimmed milk. At
hotels and restaurants It Is served Ice
told In bottles made especially for
buttermilk.
And why? Because for a long time
physicians have been pointing out
that It is the best hot-weather drink.
They have said that It Is the most
easily digested, the most cooling, the
most healthful. They have declared
It even an excellent hot-weather food.
And besides that, there are compara
tively few people, It Is said, who
don't take to buttermilk naturally,
like a duck to water.
"Buttermilk?" queried Manager
Marsh of the Borden Dairy company.
"Why, we are selling more buttermt'k
r Ik tit now than ever before. It is the
Chicago summer drink, and we are
in a position to know. It is being sold
everywhere because 'most everyone
has a nicked to spare and 'most every
one likes buttermilk. Almost every re
tall store where they sell soft drinks
Is calling for buttermilk In large quan
tities this summer. And then a whole
lot of It goes to private homes, too.
It's a great drink, Is buttermilk the
ideal drink."
"The sales of buttermilk Increase ev
ery year," said Manager Bowman of
the Bowman Dairy company, "and this
year there Is more of it sold, I believe,
than ever before. Of course, there Is
more sweet milk sold than buttermilk,
but sweet milk Is used for cooking and
buttermilk is purely a drink. Within
the -last six years there haa been a
steady Increase In the consumption of
sweet milk, but buttermilk has certain
ly kept pace wltb It,"
Out at the Lake Zurich dairies the
foregoing statement were agreed wltb.
"Why, It's remarkable the quantity
of buttermilk that Is being called for,"
said James Davidson, manager of the
dairy. "We are shipping more of It to
Chicago this year than ever before. If
It isn't the favorite hot weather drink
for Chicago, I'd like to know what on
earth is."
Others said that there was only one
summer attraction In this city that
could compare with the lake breeze
and that was
Buttermilk.
Young Horse Thief.
Suffolk, Va. Ralph Hezeklah Hln
ton, nine years old, possibly the young
est horse thief ever convicted, was
found guilty in Justice Deberry'a court
on the second offense.
Owing to his youth there was no
prosecution for the first horse stolen,
but when he disappeared with Thom
as Smith's horse he waa pursued and
captured after a four-mile cbise by
Hurricane Branch and a posse.

the Douglass Chamber of Commerce

Acting as an "International commit

before their governments the propo

birds In many states, the destruction
cf American bird life must go on a
long as any foreign country continue
to offer a market for the sale' of the
scalps of the birds of the United
States, according to Mr. Dutcher.
"Americans need the help of the
great world powers as every other
people need our help to check the de

our common prosperity and health,"
he says. "Owing to the high prices
offered for the plumes of white herons,
birds of paradise, humming birds, al

European markets, these birds have
been slaughtered almost to the point
