New Trainer of Cubs
Never Saw Ball Game
President Murphy Tells of Meeting
Between Dr. Frederick Alex
Hart and Evers.
CHICAGO, May 12. Dr. Frederick
Axel Hart, new trainer of the Cubs,
never saw a ball game, according to
President Charles W. Murphy, but has
an unbroken record of successes in
handling athletes since he left an
institute in Stockholm, Sweden. Thi>*
is Murphy'.*# version of the meeting
of Manager John Evers and the
trainer:
Evers—Ever play ball?
Hart—1 never saw a game, but T
can perform an operation for appen
dicitis.
Evers—So can I. But the patient
would die.
Hart succeeds Doc S< mmens, who
severed his connection with the Cubs
the same day he struck Manager

GRIFFIN SUCCEEDS WEBER
AS AMERICUS MANAGER
AMERICA'S. <iA , May 12.— Tlu>
Americus hall team left yesterday for
Way cross in charge of First Basema n
Hal Griffin as temporal \ manager.
Thoroughly tired of continued defeat
sustained by the Americus aggrega
tion. the directors nut this morning
and relieved Manager Harry Weber
of that office, temporarily at least,
putting Griffin in charge.
Americus has Inst seven of the nine
games played already, and while
Manager Weber ascribes defeat to
bad luck, local fans are leas char
itably inclined. It is generally sus
pected here that the salary limit rule
is not being observed by all of the
clubs of the league, and as Americus
is living within the salary limits she
is placed at disadvantage in employ
ment of proficient players.
Ill luck of the Americus team re
cently has caused interest in base
ball to flag perceptibly, although a
winn'ng streak would quickly restore,

HU YORK. May 1Alter 1 ho first week of the invasion of the Hast by the Western
clubs of the National League. *>ne thing is very apparent. The Hast, as a whole, is
stronger than the West this year, but that does not necessarily indicate tin* pennant
winner will he a product of the East.
At first, it was thought there would lx* only two Hubs in the East that could nut up any
kind of a front against the Western teams which were rated to is* strong. These two were
New York and Philadelphia, but now Brooklyn lias come through with the l»est-looking team
that has been developed in years across the bridge. Boston i* also playing good enough ball.
* * ’*
1 WANT to pause for a minute to discuss Boston and Pittsburg. Behind the Hea neater* this year is a shrewd
manager, one who is building. ‘Thief” Stallings is picking up all the likely ball players he can find around
loose, and I hen sorting them out as .
they come. He is constructing; and
out of the twisted mass of baseball
junk which he took over at the be
ginning of the season, he is going to
have a smooth-running machine soon.
The Boston Hub. although many good
hitters have resided on the team from
time to time, has long lieen the victim
of its own sluggishness. Stallings is
trying to add a little speed to his
*•1111). He realizes its value. With this
notion in mind, he went out and sign
ed Mann to play in the outfield. Stal
lings thinks the boy will make a great
ball player if given time.
"He’s the fastest man in baseball.”
the "Chief’ told us when we were in
Boston in the early part of the sea
son, and he wasn’t punning on the
name, either.
• • •
S tallings has also picked up
"Dick’’ Rudolph, the pitcher of
the International League, and once a
member of the Giants for a brief
period. Rudolph will^win a lot of
games for Stallings. Then there is a
different spirit manifested by the Hub
now. which is a reflection of the Stal
lings style. When the game gets hard,
the hoys do not abandon the pursuit
of victory and blow up as former Bos
ton teams did. No, sir. It is in
there fighting, as proved by the fact
the.N took two extra inning games
from the Pirates last week, with
Wagner in l>oth battles,
A
Bol T the Pittsburg Hub. I do
not know what to say. I have
not seen the team play this year so
far. but from the gossip in the league
and the box scores, it is evident that
the Hub is all off its balance. The
return of Wagner is going to help the
team a whole lot, but Clarke's great
est disappointment is the failure of
his pitchers to come through. Before
the season, the Pittsburg pitching
staff was regarded*as one of tlie best
in the league, if not the very best,
both by the players themselves ami
by the newspaper writers who follow
the teams. Many times ball players
will approve a man whom the gen
eral public and the writers cannot
sc v For instance. Fletcher, formerly
the shortstop of the Giants, was gen
erally rated more highly by ball play
ers than by the general public and
writers. They know his ground-cov
ering ability, and he has the finest
pair of hands I ever saw on a ball
player.

Camnitz sound like a
slambang slugging they were to ride
through the league to an early pen
nant, because even the members of
the Hub themselves concede that the
team lacks s|»eed. But the pitchers
would hold the opposing teams to one
or two runs, and the Pittsburg hoys
would pile up many with their hats,
and there would lx* a nice little ball
game for Mr. Glarke nil wrapped up
in cotton batting and tin foil to lx*
put in the moth balls. However, the
pitchers have been permitting many
runs, and the hatters have not !>een
slugging; and the race is not de
stroyed yet. •
“The Pirates condition slowly. Wait
until the warm weather sets in,” a
Pittsburg rooter whispered into my
ear the other day.
It will do the team little good 1o
round into form along in Septemlier.
It is my honest opinion that the Huh
is going to get on the move one of
these days and kick up a lot of dust.
It yet will l>o a trouble-maker in the
league, because those pitchers are
sure to liegin to twirl and the bat
ters to hit. Therefore, it pleases the
Giants immensely to see the Pirates
crowded down as far as possible at
this stage, especially as we are not up
any too high in the ladder of the
Hub standing ourselves.

Fight Referee Usually Correct
*i‘*v ^**1*
Defends Charley Eyton
Kioto.
ENVER. May 12.—Voicing their
opinions. That’s the privilege
of every gathering where box
ing h’outs are decided. Yet how of
ten have we found the great major
ity in error while taking issue with
the judge who renders the decision.
Many and many a time have I seen
the third man in the ring absolutely
correct in his judgment, and yet the
crowd howled its disapproval. Then
also have I seen the referee quite
wrong and the crowd give him greac
applause for the verdict. I:'s all the
way you look at it: it’s the angle
from which you view the content.
And yet with it all I'll wager that
the man in the ring is more often
correct than the crowd seated about
the arena. The official in the in
closure is generally one supposed ro
know the game, the tricks, advan
tages that score points and every
thing else that becomes necessary to
make him a fair and impartial judge.
For that reason he is better able to
reach a correct verdict than the out
sider, who comes only on occasions to
view the fights, and‘who nine times
out of ten is prejudiced. Of course,
when an Incompetent man officiates,
then our argument is dashed to the
ground—we are left without a leg
to stand upon.
* * *
UOW many times have you sat at
1 1 the ringside when one man’s
friends seemed in the majority?
You've seen this favorite beaten a
mile, and yet the referee, for fear
of adverse criticism, either calls the
bout a "draw” or awards the deci
sion to the man whose friends are
shouting for him and yet who failed
White City Park Now Open
to win. I’ve seen this occur time and
again, and so have you.
Just now Charley Eyton of Los
Angeles is being "panned" for call
ing the Dundee-Kilbane bout a draw.
The press reports tell us that tho
verdict was unpopular and that Kil
bane won. Perhaps so. But we
have always found Eyton quite cor
rect In his decisions. For years he
has officiated in Los Angeles, and no
complaint has been heard. He may
have erred this time for all we know.
But wait until the smoke of battle
clears away and you’ll find that his
verdict wasn’t so far amiss. That,
at any rate, is my guess.
• * *
T F the verdict was not in accofd-
1 ance with the facts, then Kilbam*
has but himself to blame. His sta
ling tactics are quite unbecoming fo
a champion and have got hi in in bad
in the East until bis last fight, when
he redeemed himself with a knock-*
out and regain some of his standinr.
A champion is supposed to carry tb»*
brunt of the battle. If lie allow*
his opponent to assume the aggres
sive from start to finish, how can he
hope to gain the favor of the referee?
Isn’t the fellow who rushes the bat
tle and makes it possible for the
spectators to see real action entitled
to something?
