Boston, May 20—"You ought to pay to get Into the park Just like the rest of the spectators.” This cruel re mark was made by Inflelder Noah to Outnelder Fh^m in the days of the Ark League and It has been repeated, with variations, by some bxsemen, short- atop, pitcher or catcher, at least once every month of every season since, to the deep disgust of the various out fielders to whom it has been addrese- fd. The inflelders and the battery men ^vho say such unkind things know that :hey are stretching a point, but there jisually are folks who believe that a good hitter makes a good outfielder, and that all there is to the defensive end of the job is catching fly balls and throwing them after they are caught. When ii lomes right down to ’acts, there are probably fewer out- flelders of real class than there are inflelders, catchers or pitchers. One of the reasons for the shortage is the fact that the pitchers wha have proved •'«'v rouldn't pitch but who have de- ^uiiHtrated that they could hit, have crowded out who might have become capable outflelders. but whose batting ability was a joke. A te^u must have some hitters; hence, men who can’t do much else have been given outfielder positions because there are less fielding chances out there than anyw'here else, But placing a good hitter In the outfield doesn’t convert him Into a good out fielder. Some of the men stationed in the gardens, for batting strength have become proficient fielders, but they are in the »mall minority. Outflelders are born, not made, as a general rule. Amanager or a club owner is fortunate indeed when he possesses men who can play the out field well and bat, too. Among the clubs In the two leagues who count themselves lucky in such possessions are Detroit, with Cobb, Crawford and Davy Jones. Chicago with Schulte, Shepard and Hofman; Philadelphia, with Magee, Tltuc and Pasket, and the Boston *:ed Sox. with Speaker, Lewis and Hooper. Manager Pat Donovan who was once a classy outfielder himself, probably gloats internally every time he thinks of the three who are playing regularly in the outfield for him. And it is en- ought to warm the heart of any man* nj'T to watch daily the work of a man ike the peerless Tris Speaker, who i^ mtering on his third season as a cen- re fielder for the Sox. and who will re- nain their centre fielder until his hair las turned to silver grey. Right at the start. Tr'is ha.s the de- lirable combination of efficiency In le’ding and efficiency in bat'ing. In iddition to that he has something that ' posses.=;ed by the chosen few-ability o "go back” on a fly ball. This is -pally just about the most valuable as- an outfielder can have, and It is one of the things that mark the difier- t-nce between a good one and a weak one. You fan almost count on your Angers Its poss-essors. Among them, besides Speaker, a.-e Milan. FYed Clarke, Schulte. Tommy Leach, Sheck- *^d, Titus, .Tosh Clarke. Goode. Craw ford and Artie Hofman. It doesn't make a show of himself in its pur* suit. •‘With a good pitcher working,” re marked the speaker the other day, "a pitcher possessessed of control, play^ Ing centre field, or any outfield position is a cinch compared to playing it w^hen you have no confidence in the man in the box. You can’t play a batter intel ligently unless j^our pitcher is doing his part intelligently. A pitcher who knows where his deliveries are going helps an outfielder immeasurably. “The fact that Frank Baker, for instance, hits to right field most of the time doesn't signify that he is going to hit there all the time. He’a going to hit to left or centre if the ball is pitched outside to him, and the knowledge of his habits won’t help me a particle unless 1 know what my pitcher is going to hand him. “Signs are practically worthless un less the pitcher is able to carry out his part. An outfielder i» up in the air when he feels that a pitcher isn’t sure w’hether he is going to give a batter a ball on the inside or out side or high or low. But if the pitcher has a control and knows what he is about, the outfielder can move around w’ith some degree of intelligence and play his position as it should be play ed. For example, suppose that Larry La- joie, w'hose hardest drives are to cen tre and left, is at bat. It won’t get me anything to play deep centre or move to the left if the pitcher is going to serve up one on the outside. For Lar ry is likely to hit that kind of a ball two or three miles into right or ri&ht centre. If the pitcher hand» him one Inside, the chances are he will hit it to left field. If the pitchef doesn’t know where he is going to pitch I might as well plant myself w^here the ground is hardest and just wait for the crack of the bat. "It certainly is a fact that some bat ters are easier to play for than others. Why, it’s next to impossible to lay for some of them. Take Ty Cobb. You’ve seen him hit like a shot down the third base line, pull a ball a mile a minute into right, or lift it away over centre fielder’s head. In cases such as his, you might as well play one place as another. You can’t tell where or how far Ty is apt to send a ball. "One of the most discouraging parts of an outfielder’s work is ‘chasing.’ With one, two or three men onJ>ases, and the score close, some one nits a ball past me, on the ground or on the fly. I turn my back to the diamond and start running as fast as I can go. My one idea i» to recover that ball and get it back to the infield before every body has scored. I know that every thing depends on my speed, but still I don’t know just how’ far the runners have gone or how much chance I have of stopping any of them. Neverthel^Si I must keep on going. The drive may have been ticketed ‘home run’ the min ute It was hit, but usually I don't know w'hether or not it is one until I have recovered it and thrown it back. You see the w’ork may be entirely useless or it may be the opposite. Whichever it is. I’ve got to do it, If I w’ant to hold my job. If there’s one thing a manager or fan hates to see, it's an outfielder loafing after an ex* tra base hit. “A strong arm isn’t the only thing WORLDS TWO GREATEST WRESTLERS Theforemost wrestler* in the world, George Hackenschmidt, the Russian Lion on the left and Frank Gotch, ^e American champion on the right, who have been signed to meet In Chicago, before the Empire Athletic Club, on Labor Day.

(BY BERT E. COLLYSR.) I Chicago III., May 20.-T—The siting of articles between Frank Gotch, champion wrestler of the world and Hackenschmidt, the "Russian Lion,” admittedly the contender for "the title, proved a select morsel for the sport ing ing fans hereabouts. According to the agreement which w^as reach ed after months of w'rangling and much side-stepping on the part of Gotch, the champion is to receive from the Empire Athletic Club of this city which will stage the af fair, Labor Da}', $20,000 as his share of the purse, $1,000 for training ex penses and fifty per cent of the pic ture privileges. Truly a princely por tion even for a champion. According to the promotors, it is expected that the match will prove more attractive than the Johnson-Jeffries bout, while from a box-office viewpoint, a new record is almost sure to be hung up. The final details, the signing of articles, the posting of a $5,000 for feit by each party as well as the club, was not without pyrotechnics, which at one stage of the negotiations augured none too well for the clinch ing of the match. However, the dip lomacy, thoughtfulness, not to men tion pugnacity of Jack Curley, man ager of “Hack” to whom the lion’s portion of the credit must be ac corded for finally nailing Gotch down, well attested. Curley, after w’as months of bullying and country-wide chasing of the champion, finally con ceded the unprecedented demands of Gotch even to the $1,000 for training expenses, which is donated not by the club but by Curley. Coming directly on top of his successful .handling of Hackenschmidt to wi’honi he guaran teed $20,000 for twenty weeks in this country, it cannot be said other than that Curley is entitled to the in^pres- sario laurel wreatt. That Gotch was reluctant to sign up was admitted even by his staunchiest admirers. In fact, ^ora those close to the man from I^m- bolt it is learned that he had grum bled that he would never sign for this match to take place earlier than Labor Day. Tho reason for this was that the champion had been palpably unfit for a match other than with third or fourth raters. Even for I for being the possessor of indomita- these, many of whom he met during bio courage. the past winter, there are those who On the other hand there are those stand sponser for the statement that in each and every one he had a "shade,” an ace or whatever one might choose to call it—the product of a manager who is past master in the art of lemon-selecting. There is yet another point that is Illustrative of Gotch’s very, very, in most feelings anent this match—his demand for fifty per cent of the pic ture privileges. In this, exports here abouts, those who know the wrestling game backwards as well as through the usual channel, point out that Gotch feels that in Hackenschmidt he is meetin.g his master and this not withstanding his having secured a decision over .he “Lion." The point raised by the experts is that, if there had not been a considerable doubt in the mind of Gotch as to hi^ abality to down Hack,’ he never would nave held out for the pibture^. For if Gotch w'ins, the pictures^will be practically worthless, that is, com pared to what they will draw^, in the event tliat Hackenschmidt is return ed the winner. There is still another point in favor of this argument and one that was and is well known to Gotch, and t.hat is that when the Ldon wrestled the champion before, he (Hackenschmidt) was a sick man, sntfering from an acute blood disease, which caused him to break out in large blotches and seriously retarding his training operations. On the night of tho memorable strug.arle, Gotch and Hack mauled each other for two solid hours. At the end of that time and without having gained a fall, the Ri:ssian .^n,ve up the match from ex haustion. It was, however, a differ ent Lion that invaded this country during the past winter and who so easily trimmed all comers, topno^h- ers alike, and who left at the con clusion of his contract with Curley, disgusted because Gotch would not keep his many-time promises of sign ing up for a match, which led to thif' now-famed expression of Hack, who In tones indicative of contemtp, said; “Mr. Go—tch Is an awfuful-li—ars.” Of of the questions sure to be thrashed oiit by the experts through out the country, is gameness, for this is surely going to be a potent factor in the forthcoming match: Dealing first with Gotch, it must be said that he has been given credit who do not take much stock in this well press-agented eulogy. The writer for one believes "and has maintained that Gotch is not a game man. I have in view his wrestling experience dur ing the klondike, when he wrestled many men at Dawson City—under the T he 7 roubles of Ih^Big Vmpiresi (By W. S. FARNSWORTH) While travelinjg with the Yankees on their first Western trip this spring I met Umpires Tom Connelly and Jack Egan, two of the most competent indi cator holders in the American League, and for that matter in the country. It is seldom “His Umps” will talk about his troubles, but Connolly and Egan gave me a lot of interesting dope con cerning the jobs and players in gener al. The life of an umpire is a to^gh one, believe me. Many a fan has sd.t up in the stand and wished he could secure such a position. They figured it pret ty soft to ride ai^und the country wit nessing all the great diamond battles. But if they only half realized the hardships connected with the position they would never have another long ing for the |ob. While a baseball team i» securing the “breaks” and winning, the players find the going smooth, but when that antiquated lady. Dame Fortune, is strutting around with the opposition, the players’ life is far from being rosy. And it is just the same with the umpire. For daya he may not be called on to make close decision and he and the players get along like brothers. But for weeks he officiates in battles where for inning after inning, he has to de cide eyelash plays. The players of both teams continually pounce on him and argue with him, the home fans roast him to a brown. It i» then that the Job gets on his nerves and makes him him long for home the farm. The umpire is practically exiled, too. He cannot mix with the players after- the game and go out and have an evening of sport. If he wants to go to a theatre he must travel by his his lonesome. While he may have many personal frlend» on the teams, it would never do for him to be seen in compa ny of a ball tosser. The fans would say that he w'as favoring the player if he did.

That, of course, or rather the angle, is as Kipling would put it "another story Gotch’s g^meness was questioned very seriously when he essayed to be a fighter and very pertinently when he met and was trimmed to a frazzle by poor old broken-down F. and whiskey-soaked Frank Slavin. The writer was one of the time^ keepers at the ringside on the occa sion of their meeting. It was said 4:hat one of the detaila^(insisted upon by Gotch was that Slavin was not to mark him (Gotch) up. There was also a peculiar betting angle con nected with the affair, w'hich has never been satisfactorily explained. Slavin, who in' his day, w as" a past master in the art, whaled Frank un mercifully. .Gotch stood a mauling for about tw'o rounds, then he deliberate ly picked Slavin up and threw him over his head. The police stepped in and stopped tho affair. • There are other instances too nu merous to mention when the yellow tinge has crept out prior even to going on the mat with some secon- class man. In a word, Gotch has been the best managed athlete in years. As to the courage possessed by Hackenschmidt, there can be little or no doubt. He was a foreigner, came to the champion’s bailiwick, w^as palpably unfit to wrestle, in fact, ac cording to a local physician, should hav'e been in a hospital, yet he bat tled Gotch, unfair tactic and all, for two hours. In his own words, “I went as far as I could.” There is yet one more thing about Hacken schmidt that is he is the fairest and most gentlemanly athlete who has invaded these parts in many ye^ars. Should he return to America in the fall in as good condition as when he left a few weeks ago, the writer pre dicts he will win in straight falls from the champion. Edward W.

The sickness of aviators is said to ^be very like mountain sick ness, only it comes on much more rap idly. The sensation is experienced at a height of about 4,000 feet and agkln In the descent. One thing M. Dustre endeavored to impress upon his hear ers was that a sound heart was before all things necessary for those ascend ing to great heights.

San Francisco, Cal., May 20.—Some of us would like to know if the Aus tralian critics think any better of Bil ly Papke than they did before he downed the rising young Antipodean fighter. Dare Smith.’Papke’s ring wqrk was ridiculed by the experts down “yonder” from the very beginning. They renounced the “Illinoie Thunder bolt” a false alarm the first time they saw him put up his hands. By the time Dave Smith had won from him on a foul and hwd-headed Cyclone Thompsoa had made a punching bag of him, the Australians Were puzzled to imagine how Papke had ever made any headway with his fists in his own country. They considered him the PTOrest apology for a world’s champion they ever had laid eyes on. It was rather humiliating for some of us who had seen Papke at his *best and who had warned the Austral ians to be on the lookout for a high- class exponent of the Queensbury pas time. But it’e a long lane that has no' turning, and now that Papke has come back to his own, as it were, all nec essity for apologies or explanations is dqne away with. ^ Of course, if Papke had kept up his to the very last in Australia and if it had become necessary to say somethins: in defense of the good reports of him sent thither in the first place, we could have fallen back on the fact that Billy has been an Uncer tain proposition from the time he first stepped into a ring. The champion “in and outer” some call him, but that car ries with it a suggestion of chronic crookedness an(| I don’t think that Papke is sinner enough to deserve a reputation of that kind. The fact re mains, however, that Billy’s record is (By CHARLES ~E. COURTNEY, the Famous Rowing Coach of bor- neii College.) Ithaca, N. Y., May 20,—Jt was only a few days before a big Poughkeepsie regatta. Cornell had an ordinarily good crew squad, but there was one of the men who I did^not believe w'as in condition for his race. Calling the medical examiner aside, I said: “Doctor, there is something wrong with that man. I don’t believe he is in condition.” I consider him perfectly fit to go into the race,” said the doctor. “I have examined him carefully and there is nothing the matter with hini.” A few days later the man rowed in the four-oareh race. At then end of the first mile, he collapsed, and -the crew did hot finish. Of the 500 and more^un- dergraduat&s who have rowed in inter collegiate races since I have been con nected with the Cornell navy, this was the only man who ever showed signs of collapse in a Cornell boat. Never be fore or since have I allowed a man to compete against my own better judgment. There are unmistakable signs that always appear early in the training of a man who te out of condition, and that man should never be allowed to row, whether the stethoscope shows him to have a weak heart or not. Just what these conditions are, I can not explain. It may be that while row ing on the machines, the lips get a lit tle white, or the face fiushes peculiar- ly. Every year at Cornell scores of men who register for the navy are dropped early in the training, not because they might not make good men for the crew, but because the light winter work on the machines showa th^-t hard rowing would be dangerous to their own health. The elimination takes place long before training can have any injurious effects and there is almo^ no possibility of an unfit man getting into a Cornell race. For the young man in condition there is no more beneficial exercise than rowing. It not only develops him phy sically and gives him a stronger con stitution, but It counts in his mental and''moral growth as well. Each year some 250 Cornell under graduates register for the crew. The eliminatien process extends over a period of fi'^ months. This number must be cut to 28 men—-three eights in rowing.
