EITHER HAND
By Bill Bailey.
C hicago, ill., au*. i».—Th«
White 8-ox have a young out
fielder who is dewtlned to be
come one of the curiosities of the
American League.
Edward Rausch is his name and the
thing that makes him wonderful Is
the fact that he heaves the ball from
deep right with hia left hand and from
deep left field with his right.
We've all heard about the ambidex
trous ball players Away back when
Anson was a recruit there were a
couple of fellow's who pitched with
either hand. But it Is doubtful wheth
er there is one fan in a hundred who
ever gazed upon a youngster who
could throw as well with one hand
as with the other.
Manager Callahan didn't know that
he was getting a curiosity as well as
a ball player when he purchased
Rausch from the Evansville club of
the Central League. The youngster
reported on Friday. The Sox were at
morning practice when the youth re
ported You thought It was too late
In the season for morning practice?
Manager Callahan is still in the hunt
tor whatever he can obtain and is
determined to finish Just as high as
possible. Which aooounte for the fact
that the men were being drilled in
everything pertaining to baseball.
Sent to Right Field.
As was remarked, the Sox were at
morning practice when the youngster
reported. He w'as handed a eult and
told to go out and chase fly balls He
did He went to right.
“Who’s the youngster?" want the
querv.
“Oh, that's young Rausch," from

Kid Gleason. It's the duty of the
•lstant manager to work with the
men. and (specially the youngsters,
at the a m. drill.
"Left hand thrower?" it was
queried.
"It w'ould seem so,” was the an
swer of Gleason. It also was apparent,
for the youngster was shooting the
balls In on a line from right field
and he was employing his left hand.
Pretty soon he went to left field and
played there awhile. One of the fel
low* shot a line drive out there. And
then everybody stood about In amaze
ment. For the youngster returned the
ball with his right hand. And he shot
it In on a line. too.
"Hey*” howled Gleason. He didn’t
want any mistake about It. and he
did want some information. In trotted
the youngster.
"Are you a right or left hand throw
er?" queried the assistant coach.
"Don’t make any difference to me,"
answered the youngster. "When I
play right field I throw wKh my left
hand. When Tm In left I throw with
my right."
"Don't make any difference to you.
eh?" queried Gleason.
“None at all. Why?"
Oh. I Just wanted to know." It

HOW 8WEET.
(By Joe Tinker.)
How mceet to bo a manager and lose
a lot of sleep
To pull a bunch of boneheads from
the bottom of the heap—
To patch a broken-down machine and
get it running fit
And then to see the owner throw a
monkey wrench in it!
It*s bad enough to run a team that
plays in Cincinnati,
But this here interfeience stuff
would drive a fellow batty.
In other words, Mr. Tinker Insists
that he is the only man who has a right
to tinker with his team.

JEFFRIES IS
L OS ANGELES, Aug. 1$.—Pro
moter T. J. McCarey, for the
past ten years president of the
Pacific A C., Is positive in his belief
that Jeffries was "doped" when he
fought Jack Johnson.
"Jeffries could walk right Into the
ring to-day and make a 100 per cent
better showing than he did at Reno,"
said McCarey to-day.
"I was watching Jeffries when he
come into the Reno arena. He
lurched down the alsl$ like a drunken
man, bumping his shoulder against
the moving picture stand. At the
ringside one of his best friends, Clar
ence Berry, reached out to shake
hands, but Jim didn't appear to rec
ognize him.

“This fellow used to coax Jeffries
away from the Monoa Springs train

he would keep Jim standing knee
deep in the mountain streams and
cause him to neglect his training.

H ARRY VARDON and Edward
Ray, two of the foremost
golfers In the world, are now
on the ooean on their way to America.
Wilfred Reid, another high-class
British professional, is with them. It
has been thirteen years since Vardon
came to this country and made an
almost clean sweep of everything.
Then came Duncan In 1911, and he,
too, made an excellent showing. It
is my prediction, however, that Var
don and Ray will find a country of
golfers vastly superior to anything
that they have pictured. Since 1900,
the year of the previous invasion, our
country has taken tremendous strides
in golf. Progress has been made not
only In the addition of thousands
of new clubs, but also In the standard
of the game. A few years ago 80
was considered very good indeed, but
now It Is merely fair and the 80
golfer takes no special credit to
himself.
Wiill Arrive This Week,
Harry Vardon and Edward Ray, our
two most distinguished professional
visitors, will be over here this week.
Previous to the open championship,
which will take place during the
third week of September at Brook
line. near Boston, they will play ex
hibition matches all over the East,
and after the open they will Journey
Westward.
Fine players ae they are, I tklnk
that they will have a difficult road
to travel, for not only will our pro
fessionals give them a run, but there
are some of our amateurs who may
be able to quicken their pace a lit
tle, I hope they will like our courses
and our golfers. Truly, we have a
country-wide array of courses on
which much money and time have
been spent.
Our golfers are fin# players, and
good sportsmen, and the coming of
the British visitors will do us a tre
mendous amount of good. Thousands
will watch their -lay and be benefited
by many an Idea caught as they watch
the execution of difficult shots by
these masters of the game. Their
scores will serve as an Indicator by
which we can know exactly what
progress we have made in our own
game.
Their coming will introduce into
this country professional exhibition
matches—& prominent element of
British golf of which we know but
J OCK M’NEIL, the daring motor
cycle racer, who waa thrown
from his machine while travel
ing at a speed of 80 miles an hour, Is
still unconscious at the Grady Hos
pital. The attending physicians have
little hope for his recovery.
It was McNeil's own carelessness
that caused his fall. He reported at
the track yesterday afternoon under
the influence of liquor, and after much
wrangling with the other riders he
Insisted on taking a whirl.
He borrowed Morty Graves* stock
machine and Immediately after start
ing ascended to the white boards at
the top of the track. The white boards
are perpendicular and It takes a speed
of at least 80 miles an hour to hold
the machine. \
The first time around his motor
broke through the boards In two
places, but McNeil refused to come
down. The next time around he rode
right into one of the holes that he
had smashed on his fir*? trip, and
was thrown 60 feet In the air. He
came down face first.
An ambulance was called and he
was rushed to Grady Hospital, The
extent of his Injuries arei

little. We have not much of this
now and there Is no doubt we need
more. It is something of which a
country can easily have too much,
but It can be of the greatest benefit
to all players who wish to Improve
their game* It will give to them
throughout the country an opportuni
ty to see the best shots played by
the heart players, and this practical
exposition Is of more value than all
the lessons and books of Instruction
In the world.
Of course, all professional golf Is a
money-making affair. For an exhi
bition match of 86 holes, occupying a
day, I understand Vardon and Ray
are asking $600. This seems an enor
mous amount of money to ask for
the privilege of seeing a golf game,
and It Is difficult to see how they will
be able to get many clubs to stage
such an expensive exhibition. The
best way would be to charge, say, a
dollar for admission, and let the club
stand for the rest. Most people would
gladly give up that much to see these
world masters of the links.
