International Xewtt ffmln By Tad *' By W. J. McBeth. N dW TORK, April 36. —Too early yet to go Into rhapsodies over i t individual pennant chances yet It float be ooofessed that Greater New j york will not have to depend on little j aid Manhattan Isle this year for all j n* baseball. Charles H. Etabets will j Sut more figure in the- National psague race this season or a whole lot of wise ones who hibernate about these diggings will be badly disap pointed. The Brooklyn magnate seems on the eve of realizing hi? ong cherished ambition—landing a neal ball team for a town qualified In every- other manner to be one ot the very best In this country. Brooklyn Is not likely to win < pennant the coming campaign. Hi.’ Brooklyn on the form she Is showiu 'his spring hae a mighty fine chare of crowding some one of the long term tenants out of the first divi sion. Outside of New York and Pittsburg It would be hard to single any one contender In the Lynch cir cuit as favorite over the Dodgers This Is said, of course, with a mind on pure baseball ability. Brooklyn to my mind shapes up stronger and better balanced in ah ■tments than the Phillies. Of the we will reserve Judgment for f Tinker at short Is bound to make g vast Improvement if his manage rial burdens prove not too heavy Counting on Cincinnati’s 1912 and I jnkking liberal allowances for Tink- ePs Individual skill Brooklyn would s ifter no way r>y aoini>arison. Defensively the Brooklyn aggrega- lon shapes up stronger than at any time since the halcyon pennant days. Manager Bill Dahlen Is well provided with battery talent, which, after all is Just about fifty per cent of de fense With the possible exception »f Jimmy Archer no better throwing catcher can be produced than Otto Miller. Erwin is a good second man. for he is big, strong and reliable if less finished than his stable mate •and Is a rather consistent performer with the hat—a fellow Is liable to do most of his hitting in the pinches.

The fact that lie has two depend able portslders who may be worked In regular turn rot only fortiOns Bill Dahlen against left-handed hitting combinations but will further en hance the value of his right-handed pitching. The manager who can al- t ornate with tho “fork-hand" stuff has an opponent guessing all the time. There is not the same oppor tunity to guage pitching deliveries. Brooklyn, too, has some mighty competent right-handed tossing tal ent. without taking Into consideration any of the recruit fllngers.

In Jake Dauber, the infield boasts the finest fltpt baseman in the National League. The other wing is almost as ably tehded by Red Smith. Smith Is a finished ball player now and one of the very best men at his position to be found anywhero. The middle of the Infield is the nfiijr quesdlonable spot of the line, apparently.

T HE season of the year has arrived when I should like to see organized in every large department store and every large business Institution what might be called Fresh Air Clubs.” 1 should like them to ap point a time and place each Sunday morning, where they could meet and take a train out. in the country—say eighteen or twenty miles—then spend the day tramping about through the fields, over the hills, following up the streams, and 1 l every way coming In close touch with the hundreds of beautiful things that Nature Is putting forth at this season of the year. The fresh air and moderate exorcise will do their bodies no end of good, and the beautiful things of nature are soul-inspiring and wholesome food for the mind. Sporting Pood -By QBOftQC E.

You will become enthusiastic about it, talk with all your friends about what you saw and how delightful It all seemed to you. and perhaps get them to Join you In the following Sunday’s Jaunt Remember, this Is for girls aR well as boyR—young women and young men; that class that Is too restless In their youthful ambition and energy to remain at home, and are very like ly to spend their day of rest in some manner that will not be as wholesome or Instructive as the way 1 suggest. Proper Dress Essential. Tho principal thing Is to be pre pared Above all things prepare the feet properly by dressing them In a sensible manner. You should have a comfortably fitting shoe, russet, soft top, with a pliable double sole; the heel not to be over one Inch high. A woman’s shoe should be one Inch and a quarter the very most—better one inch; a lace shoe and not come too high on the tinkle—just the ordinary height. By all means avoid the big. strong ugly-looking shoe. They are called the “hunting” or ' fishing" boot, and 1 have, seen more m>n cripple them selves trying to wear those villain ous things than In any other way from being improperly dressed. Wear a light-weight, all-wool wok. by no means a heavy weight; Just be ing medlupi or light weight, but all wool, so that it will absorb perspira tion. The game Is true of the wom en's footwear. Any attempt for a woman to walk with a high heel, button shoe, or one that is too short, will surely result In destroying all pleasure of the tramp and give her sore feet for several days to come. One of the host things for a girl to wear would be a divided skirt for climbing over fences, stone walls jumping the streams and brooks and for general use. For tramping a di vided skirt is very handy, not at all conspicuous. Made of light material, linen or something of that sort, not expensive. Stockings of Wool. A woman should also wear a very light weight woolen stocking. She will be sure to get sore feet if she wears cotton or silk. A man should have knee breeches. with a long stocking, or if he wears long trous ers. secure a canvas legging; it pro tects your ankles amt makes it much cleaner and better for tramping in woods and cross-country. Avoid the roads as much as possi ble, crossing through the fields. Should you see u streum "of any im portance follow it up for miles and you will find li Interesting; get on some high point, look around you ani see some higher point In the dis tance; strike across country In as straight a line us you can make Ip that higher point.

There young man win an athlete he is mendously fast up all the others the rest of you t that will last you through the week. Do not under any circumstances go prepared to kill or destroy, or do harm; no firearms of any kind; no fishing tackle. No matter how many birds, squirrels or wild animals of any kind you see, do not harm them; do not throw stones at them; remem ber that you are the Intruder, and if there Is an apology due, It is from you. There is absolutely nothing to ad mire in the nature of a human being who steals around through woods and fields with a gun, watching for an opportunity to destroy or kill. Do not even pick the wild flowers, for you will see thousands of them—beau tiful flowers, bushes and trees. Clubs Swell Rapidly. If there are only two or three mem bers for the first Sunday's tramp you are sure to have a half-dozen the next time, and your club will soon swell Into a fairly good-sized organi zation These tramps could be continued, starting out later on In the season. When the stores close at twelve, you could start Saturdays In the after noon and return Sunday afternoons. At present, however, I would reeoin- ' mend that you take with you a few sandwiches—two sandwiches should he plenty, a folding-cup for water drinking, and a pair of field glasses. Each week you will be able to add, from your experience of the week be fore, some little Improvement In the way of dress, lunch, the road you have taken, etc. Change every week. You should start early enough to begin your walk by 10 o'clock—11 at the latest. Do not encumber your self by carrying too much stuff; you should always have a good stout stick in your hand, for barking dogs some times close to your legs. And. as I said before, keep off the highways; the fields and the lane are njore at tractive. Three-Digited Brown B,egains Old Form Ex-Cub, Now With Reds, Says He’s in Fine Form and Confident of Banner Season. CINCINNATI, April 26.—Manager Joe Tinker, of the Cincinnati team Rays that Mordecai thrown, the form- r three-Angered pitching wonder of the Chicago Cube, and now a member of the Beds, is going to open the eyes of the critics, who declared he was all in. Brown has all his old-time speed, and his curves have all their elusive breaks In addition, his con trol is just as superb as ever, says Tinker. Brown wan released by the Chicago club last winter, and his services were obtained by the waiver route. When the Cubs let him go the general opinion was that Brown was all in a* a pitcher The throe-fingered marvel says the real trouble was with his knee and not his arm. During tho winter he had the injured member attended to by Bonesetter Kees^ and h&vs it is O K Brown state* that tho bad knee prevented him from putting all his strength into a throw If Drown pitches in his old-time form the Reds will be greatly strengthened in the box. The Nut spake guard: “What makes blessed day What makes him beat it down the pike so hard And strew his perspiration on the way?” “Yon follow labors not,” the guard replied. “There is no tyrant hand to scourge him on. He loves to hike across the country side— It is a game they call the Mara thon. ,r Once more he gazed upon the fields of green, And on the youth who toiled across the lea His laugh rang loud upon the silent scene; “Say, bo!“ he cried, “come on in here with me!" Statistics show that Stanislaus Zbyszko wears a 22 collar. There is an unconfirmed rumor that he wears a 5 hat. Score cards are handed out. gratis, in the St. Louis ball yards This is to prevent the management from being in dicted for obtaining money under false pretenses.

TECHNICALITY, There was a man in our town Who wore a greenish hat. Quoth he: “No law prohibits it, So whaddayathinkathat?” Kid Elberfeld, manager of the Lookouts, and late of the New York and Washington Americans, is the greatest fan in the country, according to the majority of ball players in the big circuit. The Tabasco Kid eats, sleeps and dreams baseball all the time, off the field and on it. He has also had a very long career on the diamond, and for that reason knows whereof he speaks. It happened at a Cleveland hotel during one of the series of games Washington was playing in that city. The talk had turned to the hardest hit ever made, and everyone was* having his say, the Kid alone except ed. Finally, when the other players had noticed that he was strangely quite in the conversation on a theme in which he was as well qualified to speak as any present, they al! turned to him with one accord and demanded his opinion. He pondered a second before beginning, then «iid, slowly: Never Wants Another One. “Well, boys, I’ve $’een ball players come and go, many of them mighty hitters, but when it comes to right down picking the hard hitter of them all you’ve got to hand it to the big Frenchman right here in Cleveland.

He has tossed the twelve-pound shot 47 feet 3 inches, and has thrown the twelve-pound hammer a distance of 164 feet. Many readers will say that all this is a wonderful achievement, but that it will not merit a comparison with the famous Thorpe, who is an all- around athlete; but wait, there is more to come.. Prease. too, is an all- round man. In fact, there is hardly an event in a track meet that he does not enter. He is a wonderful sprint er, a distance runner, hurdler and jumper. Here is a list of events in which he either took first or second place in the field cfa\ ex rcises held at Riverside last week: A Good Record for One Day. Prease won the 100-yard dash in 10 seconds, the 220-yard dash in 23 l-‘> seconds, and the quarter-mile in F>1 second. He also won the shot put, hammer throw* and discus and fin ished second in th^ 220-yard low hur- mile run. A total of 38 points, and all in the same afternoon, with but a few min utes to rest between times. Thorpe could not have done much more than that.
