BAD YEAR FOR SOUTHPAWS.
Majority of Left Hand Pttchers Un
successful Marquard an Exception.
Although Itubo Marrjuard leads the
National league pitchers, Eddie Plank
heads the American league and Harry
Krause was tho boat American associa
tion flingor before leaving Toledo for
Cleveland, tho majority of the left
banders nro not having what could Ix;
called a very successful season. The,
thrco mentioned stand out as excep
tions, and possibly tlioro nro a few oth
ersNap Buckcr and Venn Gregg, for
Instance who are going well.
But winning wuthpaws are few and
far between this year. Even Venn
Gregg has been going none too well,
having lost ncurly as mauy games al
ready as lie did during tho entire sen
Bon of 1011. nut two other American
league left hunders, In addition to
Plank and Gregg, have succeeded in
winning half tlveir games. They are
Itay Collins of I$oston nnd Pennock of
the Athletics.
Mogrldge of tho Chicago White Sox
nnd Hamilton of tho Bt Louis Browns
have lost moro than tbey have won.
Jim Vaughn of Washington has won
but few games, while Wllllo Mitchell
of tho Cleveland Naps has won but
two exit of tho first eight pitched.
"Lefty" George of tho Naps lost five
straight.
BOSTON WANTS HOBLITZELL
Manager Kling Hbb Offered Pitcher
"Hub" Perdue For Cincinnati Star.
The Boston club is negotiating with
Cincinnati for tho services of Dick
Hoblltzell. "nobby," it is said, is anx
ious to get awny from tho Rods. Re
cently Manager Honk OTtay gave the
first baseman a call on some play, and .
"nobby retorted by calling Hank a
"fathead."
This term of endearment is burred
by National kwguo managers, and es
pecially by CDfiy. -nub" Purdue was
suspended by the Boston club for ap
plying tho opprobrious epithet to
Johnny Kline, and now Kllng Sa will
ing to exchange Pcrduo for IloblltooU.
In case tho deal goes through Marsons,
the Culjan, will play first.

X WOODROW WILSON ONCE A
CRACK BALL PLAYER. T
"Woodrow Wilson was a fine
baselwill player, but too darned
wrapped up in reading to come
out for practice," said Governor
Glenn of North Carolina, talking
about the Democratic presiden
tial candidate.
"Governor Wilson nnd I were
college mates," said Glenn. "Wo
studied nnd played together for
two years nt Davidson college,
North Carolina. Afterward Wil
son went to Princeton nnd I
went back to tlie plow.
"Wilson was too confounded
lazy to make a star ball player.
When the team would bo called
off for practice we'd havo to go
to his room and drag him nwny
from n book.
"But when Wilson wanted to
llay hu was a star. Ue played
left field, and, while ho had an
awkward way of running, ho
covered n lot of cround nnd was
t tho best pinch hitter on the team."

BURNS TO FIGHT AGAIN.
Ex-Heavyweight Champion Will Meet
Bill Rickard Aug. 8.
Ever since tlie first announcement
was made that Jack Johnson would
retire next fall, Tommy Burns, tho
ex-heavyweight champion, has been
training quietly but hard with the
Intention of again claiming the title
when It is laid down by tho negro
Tommy never dissipates and lias al
ways taken good care of himself. De
spite the fact that ho has not had a
real ring bout for over a year, he
weighs only 103 pounds and can tint
the gloves on and go six fast rounds
with any one.
On Aug. 8, nt Saskatoon, Saskatche
wan. Burns will met Bill Blckard, a
whlto hope from Vancouver, B. C., in
a fifteen round bout Blckard is be
lieved to bo a "comer," and ho has
lots of backing from tho coast city. A
side bet of $1,000 has already been
posted, and it is in real, not stage
money. Burns Is to get a guarantee
of $5,000, win, lose or draw.
Tommy looks upon this bout as
something In tho nature of a tryout
"I have never been out of the ring, as
far as that goes," declares Burns, "so
I am not trying to 'come back.' I
have not had any tough bouts lately,
however, and It won't hurt me a hit
to tackle this fellow Blckard first."
PROMISING MATERIAL SCARCE.
Baseball Scouts Say There Are Few
Bright Prospects For Next Season.
Big league scouts engaged in beating
the far sticks report that there is little
promising baseball material in sight
although this scorns to bo the usual cry
at this time of year. They also say
that tho minor ioaguo owners want too
much for what few prospects there are.
Tho amount reputed to liavo been paid
for Marty OT00I0 and various other
players last season has Inflated tho
ideas of tho small owners, and they de
cline to talk anything but young for
tunes at this season of tho-year.
For instance, Kansas City of tlw
American association baa a shortstop
modestly priced at $13,000. Ho is "Bed"
Corridcn, who was once in the big
show with St Lou Vi. In 137 games
with Kansas City last eeflfxm Oorriden
hit .317 and stole 17 bases. They say
ho has improved elnco. then, no must
havo if Iki Is valued at 1A000.
At that rato aa Arthur Bhafer, who
has hit .2S7 In 37 gamca and stolen 15
bases should bo worth at least $30XX),
while a Jack Barry would run up into
six figures.
RECRUIT A GUILELESS YOUTH.
New Cincinnati Pitcher Fears to Talk
to a Policeman.
Charles Thompson, tho new pitcher
of tho Cincinnati Bods, Is a guileless
youth, who looks anything but a ball
player. Tliompson when 1 10 first Joined
the Cincinnati dub wondered about
for several hours- bef oro ho reached tlie
hotel.
When Hank ODoy wanted to know
why lio didn't nek a jioftceman, Tliomp
son explained that where 1m eatno
from, nobody ever spoko to a iolIco
man unless ho wanted to surrender
himself for socne misdemeanor, and
he, Thompson, had not been nilsde
meanlng any.
