In the first place, there hasn’t be**n
any "pitcher’s box’’ for quite a while.
There used to be. and a guy could
wander around ic far as its limits
would let him. Hut these days it’s a
slab, and all the slabman has to do in
patching is to start with his hind foot
in contact with said slab and not take
more than one utep from It in the
process of delivery.
If Mr. O’Day meant "make the slab

what effect that would be toward re

four wide ones.

\ f R O’DAY isn't the fir-' one to
tackle the problem of making a
pitcher put it over and it seems to
us that nobody will succeed in that
undertaking without the aid of hyp
notism. Certainly some managers
owning wild hurlers with lots of stuff
would be very grateful to Mr. O’Day
if he would devise a plan to keep the
ball over the plate. Also, if Mr.
O'Day. by a juggling of the slag
measurements, can compel a pitcher
to keep his product Just over the cor
ners of the pan. Mr O’Day would bet
ter give up umpiring and working on
tne rules committee, and start man
aging another ball club.
He would have some valuable
pitching service--what?
C«) far as our research extends, only
one rule ever has been proposed
that seemed at afl likely to prevent
the Intentional parsing of a heavy
hitter in a pinch. We forget who
suggested it, but it had an air of
plausibility entirely lacking from Mr.
O'Day’e bunch, so far as understood.
The Idea was that the batter re
ceiving four wide pitches had the op
tion either of taking his base or of
remaining at bat and allowing ‘he
next batsman in order to take the
base for him.
CUPPOSK, for example, that Har-
O rv Welch once was up, with
Tommy Long on second or third and
a right-hand pitcher on the slab. Sup
pose the r. h. pitcher had been pun- i
ished severely by Harry, but had been i
"getting” Wally Smith and T1 island
without difficulty.
Then it might not be out of order |
to suppose that, with two out. the
pitcher would rather see Harry on |
first than waving litis big stick at the
plate.
All right. Four balls. Rut Harry :
decHr.es the offer, at a signal from |
his boss. Wally Smith trots on down
to first. Harry remains oi bat Four |
more balls? Maybe. Then Blslan'. i
walks and the bases are full—and j
Welchonce still at bat.

I T WILL 1m> hard for me to get back to Chicago for work after living in
the warm-hearted hospitality of Atlanta. My games of golf over the
Atlanta courses will mark a most enjoyable occasion, and big, dirty,
noisy Chicago will seem almost unbearable because my mind will be full
of the happy events in your clean, delightful little city. I can not ever
adequately express how much I owe to the generous hearts of Mr. and Mrs.
George Adair.
Interest in golf has grown very rapidly In the last few years in the
Southern States, and nowhere in the South do I think that golf enthusiasm
Is greater than in Atlanta. The natural result of so much enthusiasm has
been the development of some very good Southern players, yet it is always
a matter of surprise that these players do not go farther in the National
Amateur, whose very efficient vice president, Mr. Milton Dargan, lives here,
or in the Western, which has a deep interest in Southern players. One
would think that the Southern player had certain natural advantages in
the opportunity to play the year around, Of course the game is young in
the South, but the time is rapidly approaching when Southern golfers should
reach a higher chain plan ship standard.
At the present moment the very l>est Southern players are many shots
U’lilml the U*st players of the West and North. Of course the Southern
player must travel far to the big tourneys, and consequently comparatively
few go. The Southern showing in the 101National was better than usual,
and Nelson Whitney, your champion, qualified well up, but no Southern
player yet has gone far in either Western or National. Many times 1 have
heard the reason asked.
In the upbuilding of champions, there are. I think, the following essen
tials: First, enthusiasm and the type of enthusiasm that is the essence of
patience. Golf looks so easy, and is in reality so hard, that it is the most
discouraging game at times in the world for the player. Then comes exam
ple ami instruction, and instruction should 1h* either verbal or by example,
for young players imitate readily. I think the lx»st sort of instruction is
playing with a letter player. The next essential is a good golf course re
quiring championship play. You can learn the shots on any course, provided
its condition allows the ball to fall and run the same every time. One
must 1m» able to judge the roll of a ball, and know just what ground-behavior
can Ih* expected of it. One can learn to hit the hall in the air, hut unless
the ground is right, he loses power to judge results. A good course aids
good play and i>enulizes bad. I learned my golf on a fiat 9-hole stretch of
ground, and then 1 improved it by playing a great deal at Chicago golf—a
championship course.
A T THE present moment Atlanta has good instructors, among whom is
Stewart Maiden, one of the l*‘st in the country -oceans of enthusiasm
and a course-to-be at Fast Lake that will doubly merit the title of the
champion course of the South; indeed, it would W called a good link in any
part of America. And there are already some very good players here.
Some of you play very good wooden shots, some very good irons, and some
putt extremely veil; in fact, the more successful Atlanta golfer plays gen
erally well, but I would suggest more practice of individual shots, a steady
methodiea' attempt to round out one’s game.

CHICAGO. Dec. 30 —Charles W. Mur
phy's recent threat that eight Cub play

Hersig Insists He Is Still Presi
dent, While Schwartz Re
fuses To Be “Fired.”
N ashville, tenn., Dec. so.—
The bitter factional feeling
which has existed in the Nash
ville baseball war for the past two
weeks reached a climax yesterday in.
an exchange of torrid statements be
tween William Hirsig, majority
stockholder in the Nashville club, and
William C. Schwartz, last season’s
manager of the local team. Hirsig
emphatically declares in his state
ment that under no circumstances
will Schwartz manage the Nashville
club next season since "he has been
convinced that the ‘boy manager’ was
not the best leader the Vols could
get for 1914.” Schwartz is charged by
Hirsig of having approved of the
Welchonce-Callahan deal, repeatedly
denied bv Schwartz previously, and
published a letter from Schwartz in
support of that contention.
Hirsig also attempts to saddle the
responsibility for the Perry-Berger
deal on Schwartz, offering to produce
numerous witnesses in order to sub
stantiate his accusations.
IJTIRSIG insists that he is still presi-
1 1 ctent of the Nashville club, char
acterizing the midnight meeting of a
majority of the Nashville club’s
stockholders, at which he was de
posed and Vice President Clyde
Shropshire elected to succeed him, as
a “rump" gathering, illegal and con
trary to the by-laws of the Nashville
club. Numerous legal decisions are
offered to support the assertion that
this meeting was illegal.
Schwartz in his answer to Hirsig
explains the Callahan-Welchonce deal
by stating that the failure of tlie
Nashville club to have him returned,
after being drafted in 1912 by Wash
ington, was due to the inability of
the Nashville club to raise the nec
essary $1,500 draft price to secure his
return to the club from which he was
drafted and to no lack of effort on
his own part to have Welchonce re
turned. Schwartz published a tele
gram dated two days before Nashville
released its claim to Atlanta, in which
he asks Hirsig to meet him in Cin
cinnati, In order that they might con
fer with Garry Herrmann, of the Na
tional Commission, relative to pre
venting Washington turning the
player over to Atlanta. Schwartz was
in Cleveland, Ohio, at this time, and
offers this message as proof that the
deal was made without his knowl
edge.
CCHWARTZ also denies responsi-
^ bility for the Perry-Berger trade,
claiming that he had requested Hir
sig not to’ make any deals while in
Atlanta.
Schwartz charges Hirsig with
being niggardly in supplying him with
players of ability around which to
build up a winning club, and charges
that when he approached Hirsig last
season he begged for new material to
holster up his faltering machine, he
was denied any assistance by Hir
sig, who refused to heed Schwartz’s
warning that the club was "skating
on thin ice,” although later the Vols
took a slump from which they were
never able to recover.
Wallach Calls Halt
In Cross Training
LOS ANGELES, CAL., Dec. 30.—
Leach Cross, the New York fighter who
ts scheduled to box Bud Anderson at
Vernon on New Year’s Day. is doing so
nicely in his training that to-day Mana
ger Sam Wallach advised a let-up.
Cross is looking good, and his claim
that he is in the best condition he ever
attained for a Los Angeles fight is borne
out by bis general appearance and work
in training bouts.
"I am working out every day with Kid
Dalton and Babe Piccato, the best train
ers 1 hare had on the coast,” shid Cross
to-day. "Both are fast and swap
punches with me. I have not the least
doubt that I will best Anderson in our
second meeting Then I am going after
Joe Rivers again.”
Bud Anderson is plugging away on
the sam% old strenuous schedule at his

Bob Fitzsimmons’ ambition to shine
again in the pugilistic limelight has re
ceived a decided setback at the hands
of the New York State Boxing Commis
sion. The commission has issued an
edict prohibiting the former world’s
champion from engaging in any bouts
in New York because of his age.
According to reports, Nevada is plan
ning another heavyweight fight to a
finish. Bill Dailey, the San Francisco
theatrical man, is trying to arrange a
bout to be held during the first week
in July. He may match the winner of
next Thursday’s bout between Smith
and Pelky with some suitable opponent.
Negotiations regarding the appearance
of Gunboat Smith in Paris to take on
Sam Langford are not expected to suc
ceed, as Smith is demanding his travel
ing expenses and a purse of $25,000.
Carpentier may get Langford if the
latter accepts a weight limit of 178
pounds.
A coast critic says: “Put old Bat Nel
son’s heart inside of Joe Rivers and he
would be the lightweight champion of
the world for the next five years. ’
Weighing 146 pounds Packey McFar
land insists that he is a lightweight.
Why not admit it and let him fight Gun
boat Smith for the title?
"Battling” Levinsky will box ten
rounds with Bob McAllister, the clever
middleweight of San Francisco, at Mad
ison Square Garden. New York, on Jan

No. 2—The Old Flying Wedge
By J. W. Heisman.
I X TH Efall of 1S02, after the “V” front a standing start had been In use
for over half a dozen years Harvard came forward with somethins
distinctly, new—the “Flying Wedge.”
This play was invented by a Cambridge man by name of Deland, and
was copied far and wide until legislated out of existnece hy tbe rule re
quiring that on the kick off the ball would have to be kicked an actual dis
tance of at least ten yards.
Deland had never played football himself, but had been watching tt for
years on Soliders’ Field, and had often wondered why teams did not get
more variety into their attack.
The first time It was ever exhibited “on any stage” was in the game
between Harvard and Yale that year at Springfield. It fell to the lot of
the Crimson to kick off. ami the Blue lined up ten yards away from the bali,
aud prepared to attack the expected “V” in the usual way.
What w'.'.s their amazement to see the Harvard team line up in a crazy
new-fangled way to which there seemed to be no sns whatver. I listed of
the center getting over the ball the Crimson quarterback was guarding it.
About 20 feet to his left and somewhat back of him was stationed the right
half, and to the rear of this latter and also back further was stationed the
other half. An dthen there was an Indian file of five, and another of three,
widely separated from each other. But the queerest thing about it all was
the fact that the eight men in these two files did not com up to th middle
of the field and toe the scratch there, but seemed content to take statin*
some 20 yards back of midfield, as though they intended to have nothing
whatever to do with the ceremonies Incident to the opening of hostilities.
The Yale players stared blankly, and the Yale coaehs looked their college
color; no one of them could form a guess as to what might be coming "A
or what should be done; the stands were awed with dumb, suppressed
excitement. Tie officials themselves stared and procrastinated, and asked
the Harvard and Yale captains twice each if they were ready. It appeared
impossible that the Harvard team could be ready, but each time Captain
Dudley Dean, of "Harvard, calmly insisted that he was quite ready for the
dogs of war to be unleashed, and so at length the whistle sounded its
shrill blast.

Auburn has accepted the offer to meet

Cicotte Returns His
Contract Unsigned
CHICAGO, Dec. 30.—Eddie Cicotte,
who ranked next to Walter Johnson as
a pitcher in the American League last
season, is said to be the first hold
out of the 1914 crop. Cicotte is re
ported from his Detroit home to. have
said that although the figifre named in
the contract was not satisfactory he
would have refused to sign at present
under any circumstances because he
had not been given permission by the
players’ fraternity.
T «ONC Ethe two lines of Harvard men started forward, seemingly
: to come together at the point M. On they came, faster and faster
gathering momentum with each stride, but the quarter and the halves stood
stock stili, while the bait had not yet moved a hair’s breadth. And untii it
did move the Yaie players could not charge forward; they could do nothing
hut wait in anxious doubt and indecision.
But just before the right-hand column reached the point “P,” Dean, at
quarter, picked up the ball and passed it rapidly to the right half- Th e
latter at once shied it over to the left half, then turned and also made lor
the pointM. Meanwhile Dean, after passing the ball to the right halt,
sprang forward and tumbled under Yale’s right guard.
After the bali had been soriped over Dean’s toe, in fake conformity to the
kick-off requirement, it took but an instant for the two defiles of Harvard
players to effect a junction with the right half hack at their apex, and with
all steam up the way they hit the Yale right tackle was something to remind
everybody of what a plaful thunderbolt is like. With all that aroused
momentum it was out of the question for the defensive team to stop things
in their track, and a gooil 25 yards gain had been chalked off in favor of the
Crimson cohorts before Halfback Lake was finally brought to the sod.
tN THIS particular instance the play owed some of Its effectiveness to
1 the fact that to Yale it was a
new stunt, and they could form no gue ;
as to what was coming. But the next year everybody was playing it. iin, ‘
all teams knew what to expect. Nevertheless. ’ when well perform! the
tiling had such a terrific momentum whooped up by the time it came int"
collision with the defensive players that there was no stopping it short
of a substantial gain.
yut if you think it must have taken nerve ot fire into one of 11'*’ ’ 1 '''
“\ s that operated from a standing start what would you say to the non?
it took to wade into the flying wedge?
The fact is it was a very dangerous play for everybody concerned. au ! ‘
that was the reason why the rule makers decided to eliminate it by insisting
on an actual kick for the • pening of a game.
Much was expected of Deland in the way of new plays after tills i' :
success, but. so far as I have ever heard, he never Invented anything
great importance in the game after that.
