Arthur Shafer Sure to Play Shortstop for New York Giants Next Year RECRUITS WHO MADE GOOD IN MAJOR LEAGUES This is the third of a series of Articles on “Youngsters Who Have Made Good in the Big Leagues.” By Sam Crane.

It is a feature that in- ' variably appeals to McGraw, who wants speed, speed, speed, and then more speed. The youngster has a splendid throwing arm, covers no end of ground and can throw from any po sition that he gets the ball. He does not have to straighten up to shoot the ball across the diamond and gets it away wonderfully quick. He was playing splendid games at the time he was called home. and. without doubt, would have "made” the team and played in the last world’s series had it not been so his affliction. Shafer was used quite often by McGraw the last season as a pinch hitter when the manager wanted a good waiter at bat. And the young ster surely is that, won many a game by getting the opposing pitcher "in the hole.” His fellow players on the Giants consider that Shafer has as good an eye, if not better, titan any player in the busi ness. “He can size up a ball to within a half inch of the plate,” is what McGraw said of his "find” last year. Recommended by Snodgrass. Shafer joined the Giants in 1909. having been strongly recommended to McGraw by Fred Snodgrass, who had seen him play in college games MEN WHO CAUGHT SLAYER OF KETCHELL ARE SUING SPRINGFIELD.

Dickerson says the re i ward was offered on condition that the slayer was brought in dead. He de- > Clares be said he would not give ten ’ cents for the murderer alive. The plain ' tiffs huVe several witnesses they say ivill swear the reward was offered for the slayer, dead or alive. Walter Uipley. the man who killed i Ketchel. was captured by Hogard and other farmers the night following the shooting and is serving a life sentence in the Missouri penitentiary. REPORT DENIED THAT KING WILL QUIT TURF The London Sportsman of October 30 . denied in positive terms that King George is to retire from the turf. The report was published in some English papers and found its way to America. Tiie article in The Sportsman says: "The king is very keenly interested in his stud ami stables and his interest has increased rather than diminished since he first saw his colors carried. There has never at any time been any incli nation on His part to abandon a sport which he enjoys, and it is little short of scandalous that! gnorant busybodies should vamp up rumors of the sort. Nothing but a malignant hatred of the turf can have inspired the invention of such a grossly untrue fabrication.” I GOVERNMENT WILL BREED HORSES FOR ARMY'S USE WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson and officials of the bureau of animal industry ami the war department conferred tod-y re garding the work to be done under the $50,000 appropriation for improving tiie standard of horses available for use in the army. .

The young ster was phenomenally fast when he reported in Marlin, Texas, but he could not be made to look upon baseball as a serious proposition. He was just a “kid” in 1909, and lie had not gotten over his youthful frivolities in 1910. Hut he gave such splendid promise that Mc- Graw held on to him, knowing that he would settle down in the end. Fred 1 Tenney, who was a Giant when Shafer first joined the team, was a great admirer of the "native son.” and fully appreciated wha*. was in the boy, and when he be came manager of tiie Boston Na tionals he made a deal with Mc- Graw so Shafer in exchange for Shean. Shafer got wind of the trade, and while he didn't refuse to join tiie Bostons, he spoiled the deal by accepting an offer to coach a Japanese college team of baseball players. lie made a big success of it. and. notwithstanding his youth, he was complimented by being called “the father of baseball in Japan." Reioined Them Last. Spring. He returned from Japan early in 1911, but refused to report to tile Giants, still fearing he would bo sent to Boston. He straightened out matters with the New York club, however, so that he reported to McGraw in Marlin. Texas, last spring.

Forward Pass Has Revolutionized Game, But Needs Further Development EXPERTS CLAIM NEW FOOTBALL RULES EXCELLENT By \V. .1. Mcßeth. GAME that is a game—that is the general verdict on foot ball as placed under the A 1912 rules. The gridiron sport pleases first of all the spectators; it pleases the coaches, the players and the greet student body. It took a great .leal of tinkering and experiment to resurrect the blood tingling autumn pastime from the debris of popular disfavor following the crusade which wrecked the good, old-fashioned game of six years ago. The new game seems to have been well worth the wait and the trouble. The old game came Into disfa vor because of the dangers incident to it. And these same dangers had a discouraging influence on the el ement mo.st directly concerned—the student body. Form getting right down to cases, it was a test of muscle and brawn, and not a com petition of skill. It was smash, smash, smash through the line all the time, witli now and then an end run or a variation worked in just to keep tiie opposition on the anxious seat. Naturally, a human battering ram would pick out the weakest spot in the line on which to center an attack, and woe betide the object of the charge. Speed, under the old rules, was a natural advantage, hut not neces sarily a vital issue. Brute strength fame first, last and all the time. The primitive qualification of class was stamina to stand up under punishment; power to grind through a wall of human resist ance. Under such conditions the game naturally devolved into a sur vival of the fittest. None but a giant might play with any amount of safely. Weaklings had no place on the gridiron. Speed and cun ning combined counted for hut lit tle unless supplemented by excep tional physical power. Bad Features Eliminated. The game as played now seems to have eliminated all the objec tionable features of the old style of play, and at the same time retained all the more desirable fundamen tals. It Is quite true that foot ball was never meant for invalids. It is a game that requires certain physical perfections. But no long, er is bulk and beef the first requi site. Speed counts as much as brawn and the agile, light fellow, if perfectly sound, has a better chance to shine than the big, slow thinking giant. Modern football Is more than ever a game of skill. The forward pass was mapped originally to open out the game through the necessity of scattering the defense. In this it served itg purpose to some degree. Yet the forward pass at first was looked upon with great disfavor by the coaches. There were too many re strictions attached, and penalties for its failure to be properly com pleted made it a rather question able weapon. This year these re strictions have been eliminated and the play has Immediately come into great favor. It is very spectacular and appeals to the general public. Here’s the Vomngest Marathon Winner / i ’W' T Thomas E. Harris, of 61 Cleburne avenue Atlanta, is only six years old. His pic ture bears out our statement that he’s a handsome, manly little fellow. And his ownership of a Georgian Marathon Racer proves that he uses good .judgment in the selection of his fun-making possessions. Thomas wanted a Marathon Racer. Old er members of his family would have been glad to buy one for him, but they are not for sale. For The Georgian controls the fac tory’s output for this section. And we want to give them away—not sell them. So he investigated our plan for free distri bution of these little cars to live boys and girls, found it mighty easy, and now ex periences the joy that comes to all red blooded people in the ownership of a prized possession that has been EARNED.

Undoubtedly the forward pass has revolutionized football, but it has not yet been developed to Its greatest worth. The further it is perfected the greater will be the possibilities of unexpected scoring, which adds the spice of uncertainty and makes competition all that is to be desired. Wonderful indeed has been the progress under the new rules so far this season. It looks as if the present code is here to stay. 13
