Henau Tty*-0 Htiv \O TALENTFOR 14 Twenty-two Players Have Already j Signed Lookoiit Contracts for Next Season. C -MIATTANOOGA, TEN A D« I: Manager "Moose” McCormick already has at his disposal 22 athletes from which to pick his 1914 team. Of this total ten are reserved from the 1913 aggregation while twelve are athletes signed by the former pinch- swatter of the Giants after stepping into the breach left vacant by one Norman (Kid) Kiberfeld. Prom the standpoint of positions the men ate divided as follows: Pour outfield ers. six infleldera, four catchers and eight hurlers. The pitchers are. Kroh, Sommer;. Howell, Grimes, Lorenzen, Sllne, Gross and Hardin. Catchers, Graham, Street, Giddo and a semi- j pro whose title McCormick ha not i yet announced. Inflelders, Coyle. Flick, lialenti, Graff, Gillespie, and Brandt. Outfielders, McCormick, Ja- | cobson, King and Johnson. \\7 HILE the statement that 23 mein \ brought to Andrews Field for the spring work-out lends the impres sion that McCormick faces difficult problems in elimination in practically every department, such is far from being the case. On the other hand, the Lookouts, taking into considera tion the period of the year, are better fixed than ha ever been the case ! since 1911, when Billy Smith had his J aggregation of plutocrats signed be- j fore tiie new year dawned. In fact, in only (he outfield and the heaving department: does McCormick face th* necessity of indulging in se rious thought in making final selec tions. * Take n glance at the receiving ma terial. With Street, Graham, Giddo and a semi-pro signed it can be stated with all but absolute certainty that “Gabby” and Pat will fill the two position?. Both are capable and heady men and are dangerous hit ter?. There seems no chance of any aspirant crowding either of the pitchers mentioned out of a perma nent berth.

The members of the team who made e world’s tour will Ieuv*» for the ific Coast immediately on their ival at New York In March, while er« will report onrliei THE heavers, as before admitted, * preseiii a real problem. Kroh, Sommers, Howell. Grime? and Sline appear to have the in ode track upon the five regular berths, hut nothing is definitely settled. Hardin, Loren zen and Gross are all highly recom mended. The first two were secured from Detroit, while tlie latter Is a local semi-pro. The first quint named gives Mui Vi mick two southpaws and three right-handers. It is an admit ted fact, however, that “Moose" ex pects to get further material from McGraw, so tlie matter is delightfully unsettled. The infield is already pretty well defined, with Coyle on the initial sack. Flick on the keystone cushion. Balen- tl at short and Graft' on third. Brandt or Gillespie will be retained as util ity man with the chances favoring the former, if he lives up to expecta tion-:, because of his youth. In the outfield the problem resolves .itself absolutely into a tight between j Jacobson and King for center.

MADISON. WIS.. Dec. 13.—Anoth er wave of reform surpassing that of 1913 was instituted here to-day by faculty representatives of the confer ence in their annual meeting at tie W. C. T. U. One of the most drastic measures adopted *.vas the elimination of croquet from the intercollegiate athletic pro gram and the substitution of chess as a major sport. For some time croquet has been viewed with disfavor owing to its brutality, but to-aay's action was due directlv to the deplorable ac cident in last Saturday's game, when Harold Fuzzlethwaite. captain of t ie Minnesota team, was carried from tho field with a broKeri stay. It was also decided to substitute the game of authors for tiddledewinks, as the latter game has a tendency to heat the blood and render the participants tornetful of their dignity as college athletes. Wisconsin received a heavy blow in the expulsion of Archibald Umph. the clean-up hitter of the Badger debat ing team. It was discovered that He had once participated in a debate with his father over the size of his month ly allowance. According to Rulo 5, Section 7, the said debate has made him a rank professional. Shortly before the close of the ses sion Professor Pussyfoot formulated the following resolutions, which will be placed before the Ancient and Hon orable Order of Mollycoddles for ap proval : "Resolved That students be per mitted to take no part in the conduct of intcicollegiate games, but be re quired to take seats in the stands witn the spectators, while the faculty members play the games on paper. Resolved. i hat the undignified cheering which has marred intercol legiate sport in the past be restrict ed, snd that no spectator bo permit ted to applaud anv louder than a whisper under pain of expulsion from the park. "Resolved That no student be al lowed to participate ;n intercollegiate athletics whose collar exceeds No 14, or who:.? chest measurement exceeds 24 inches.” The meeting clcsed with a stirring address by P;'o*ccsor Erasmus Biloe- v a ter in "Th* 3ubiuqation of the Red Corpuscle.” The repo’ l that Charlie .Murphy in tends to star: ;t ball leag”o in Scot- j land must have been due to a mis- I print.

JASHVILLE, TENN., Dec. 13.— k That clean-up campaign in augurated by Bill Schwartz ia , not panning out as the howling and | hurrahing success which it was in tended to be. The Boy Manager’s ; widely advertised marked down eale j of shopworn bail tossers, after start* , ng off with a whoop, wfith the sale ; of the baseball pitcher Fleharty to Venice and Catcher Eddie Noyes to i Galveston, has sorted bagged down at , the knees, which causes many wrin- | kies to infest the erstwhile placid ! brow of Mr. Schwartz. It’s something to put on the block | a bunch of old-time stars and yelp i for bidders. and something else ! igain to gain the attention of a few j purchasers, as the Vols’ boss can tes- l tify. Bill can stand any sort of lung test that can be devised, so it isn’t that he isn’t yelling loud enough, but the Southern League moguls j don’t seem to be jostling each other to pay real money for any of the Schwartzmen Looks as if Bill will have to dump all those slated for ihe discard into a big sack and ped dle them out at the Atlanta meet ing much after the manner of those pussy-footed and persistent foreign ers who have fuzzy looking shawls to j dispose of at fancy prices. Even though he isn’t having any ! luck at getting rid of the 1912 Vols, Schwartz keeps on talking in glow- i ing terms about next season and 1 smiling mysteriously about where they are to come from. But you I don't hear the Boy Manager making i any phonograph records about where I next season’s crop is to come from For that might crab some of the | present arrangement with a prosper- ■ ous major league dub to hand some j of Its surplus material to the Vols for { ripening. Schwartz is pretty sweet I in the idea of having a big league club build up his team, jut as the St. Louis Browns did for Montgom ery for the past two seasons with I most excellent results. * * * 7 E haven’t got the money to rush out and bolster up the club when we begin to crack by buying high-priced major leaguers who are on their way out, like Atlanta does every season,” says Bill. “Fact is, we haven’t made any money to carry on that sort of thing for some time p;ist, bumping into all kinds of trou ble on this Sunday ball proposition and winding up by having to pay the costs in the case, which amounted to enough to make a big dent in the national debt. Why, at the end of last season we were In such a fix that we weren't able to draft any players from the class B and C leagues. “Now. that arrangement we had with Brooklyn did us practically no good at all, for what they were will- mg to give us were players passed up by Newark and if they can’t make good in the International J-rion’t see how they can make good in the Southern, which in my opinion is the fastest of the minors. We tried < incinnati a while, but the players Herrmann sent clown here, like Mc Manus and Dalgren, only cost us a lot of time fooling with them and aid the club no good at all. Next season we are going to have a club made up of hard-hitting fel- ows, fast and heady on the paths. Ir J tan I intend to start with a set of new faces—new to the club and new to the league—if possible. E have hopes of landing some high-class pitchers and I ought to be able to " nF or two dependable twirl- ers from the recruits I will start with.” • ♦ • T N th© box Schwartz will have back 1 Forest More, secured in the mid die of last season from Chattanooga and Boland, who came to the Volf when the Akron Club disbanded and showed worlds of “stuff,’' but rather poor control. Next «eason he should make one of the star slabmen of the circuit. There was 3am Hendee. the giant Iow'a coal miner, who started off like a cyclone and blew up with a bang, yet down in the K1tt> League he had a great season and Schwartz figures he is about ripe for fast company. The same goes for Leslie Johnson, a recruit from West Tennessee, who was farmed along with Hendee to the Kittles and proved one of the leading heavers in that league. Snyder, another Kitty fling er who finished the 1913 season with the Vols. will be given a chance, and and a big left-hander named Roger* who was recommended by Hub Per due has been signed. Bill is hoping for great things from this boy, who was covered up with Henderson last season until he could wear the rough edges off his work. This crop of heavers won’t win the bunting in the Southern, bun Schwartz has his weather eye peeled for several fancy slabbers who, if they are landed, should make the Vols riflemen one of the most depend able hurling crews in Judge Kava- naugh’s circuit. One of the pros pects is Ben Harris, a Nashville boy. who for the past two seasons has been with Denver in the Western League. Ben don’t seem to be able to get friendly with the peculiar cli mate out there and Is anxious to get back down in Dixie. His work has always been of high grade and the Nashville boss ie willing to par’ with a large chunk of money if his release.can be bought.
