The naming of Ed. Barrow as man- ager of the Boston Red Sox means that the non-playing manager idea has passed away. Barrow will be in the Connie Mack class, for he will not wear a uniform. If all Americans were as peace- loving as Jess Willard seems to be, they would be serving sauerkraut as the chief dish on the White House menu. They say Jim Flynn is going to write his autography telling of his life in the ring. It looks as if Jim Corbett is going to have competition at last. Alexander the Great will pitch his first game of ball for the Chicago Cubs in the 1918 campaign against the St. Louis Cardinals at St. Louis on April 16th, the opening day. The Cubs want to get off with a good start. TTT YY TTY TY YY YY TRY 5c. Poet Cigar 5c. 3 Look for Silk Thread on Tip of Each Cigar, NN YY S.

Speaking of McGovern, it might be said that Terry was one of the old | school of successful scrappers who | believed in and followed the old motto, "Come easy, go easy," in the matter of money, Quite a difference between these and the thrifty cham- pions of to-day. One hardly ever sees articles now- adays referring to the wonderful managerial ability of Fielder Jones. They used to be exceedingly com- mon, Edward Barrow got right on the job» as manager of the Red Sox. He | had lined up and signed several balk- | ing iballplayers within forty-eight hours, and it is also said that he was the man to block the plans Frazee had for sending Larry Gardiner, Herbert Pennock and Tilly Walker to the Athletics. LACROSSE'S DYING KICK. Decision of Montrealers Not Carry on Means Finish. The announcement from Montreal that the National Lacrosse Club was not likely to be reorganized for the coming season caused considerable surprise in local sport circles, as the National Club has been the mainstay of lacrosse for many years, and #s suspension would probably mean the death of the national game in the east. Lacrosse is practically gone at To- ronto and in many other cities, but it was holding on grimly at Mont- real. If the Nationals drop it, it may be all off. to Boxer is Suspended. Jack Reed, heavyweight boxer, of Toledo, Ohio, has been barred from Minnesota rings for six months. He was matched to fight in the semi- wind up to the Greb<0'Dowd bout in St. Paul Monday night, but failed to live up to his agreement. Basketball Popular. College spirit is rampant at the University of Virginia. Nearly 500 attended a recent basketball game there--one of the largest crowds to patronize this sport in the history of the institution. It shows how Vir- ginia appreciates intercollegiate competition, Handsome Sum For The Red Cross, So far more than $80,000 has been received by the United States Golf Association from clubs that held Red Cross tournaments on July 4th last. As there are several hundred J the grand total will reach $100,000. clubs yet to report, it is expected In The World Of Sport MANY NEW FEATURES IN THE GAME LAWS ' 1 North CarSlipa First to Pro- . hibit' ng of Water= Fowl From Airplane. Several new feature® in game pro- tection have been introduced during the past year. The firsi>game law placed on the stattite Books of any state through the medium of an initiative petition was adopted in Arizona. Hunting game with flyiflg machines has been made illegal in North Carolina by a law prohibiting shooting water fowl on any of the waters of the state from an airplane, Cat-license bills introduced in Massachusetts, New York, New Jer- sey and elsewhere, seem to have fail- ed uniformly, but in two states brief cat laws were passed. Massachu- setts passed a law prohibiting pos- session of cats on Muskegat Island or the bringing of any cat to the is- land, and Michigan declared cats fol- lowing on the track of game birds or small game, public nuisances, and de- creed that the owner who permits them to run at large after notice from the Game Commissioner shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. Can Coveleskie Come Back. Two pitchers of the Detroit Amer jeans have signed 1918 contracts, The men are Harry Coveleskie, the veteran left-hander, and Joe Finner- an, a right-hand recruit from the American association Finnerman is touted strongly as a comer, and Manager Jennings has given eskie another chance to prove that he is not in the "has been" class, If Not Cobb, Then Heilman, Miller Huggins' object in going west is to bring one of the three Detroit outfielders to New York. There may be denials, but that stands. His first objective is Tyrus Cobb. If Navin absolutely declines to consider the Cobb proposition, Huggins will endeavor to Harry Heilman from the Detroit roster. That also stands, despite any subsequent denfals. And Foid Is So Dear, Too. It takes six years to make a ham- mer thrower, according to Martin Sheridan and other authorities. But if one thinks of becoming a hom- mer: thrower, he must begin dieting at the age of ten and aim to weigh 250 pounds when he is twenty-one. He will need that foundation for six years strenuous training. To Make Early Start. Harry Sallee, Lew McCarthy, Bill Rariden, Heinle ¥immerman, Al De- maree, Jeff Tesréau, and Rube Ben- ton, of the New York Giants, will leave New York on March 3rd for Hot Springs, Ark., where they will stay for a week before leaving for Marlin. Wants His "Bit, Grover Alexander has nothing on Cyclone Yellsky, a Cleveland boxer, A few days ago Yellsky's manager sold his interest'in the fightér for a dime----ten cents. Yellsky then de- clared himself a holdout on his new manager, unless he received a cut of the ten cents. Will Deal Go Back? Charles Deal is not slated for the minors yet, although Louisville has mentioned him in the collection of men it expects to secure. The Cubs could not get him out of the league if waivers were asked. Besides, Manager Mitchell needs him for the infield. Shocker Weds Actress, At Detroit, Mich., Urban J. Shock- er, who two years ago pitched for Teronto in the International League, was married to Miss Minerva C, Davenport, a former actress, who re- tired from the stage some time ago. Shocker will take his bride with him 'the Browns' training camp when hé starts south next week. lero denn Tennis Coaches Needed. With lawn tennis steadily gaining favor throughout the tountry, it is being called to the attention of these interested in the game that there is need of competent professional coaching. The Toronto Baseball sent out contracts Club has to all players un- der reserve. . * * Baseball Briefs | First Baseman Sheely, who played with the Salt Lake City team last summer will be a candidate for the first sack position on the Cleveland Indians this spring. The report that Christie Mathew- son planned to add Jimmy Lavender to his Cincinnatti pitching staff seems to have been a false alarm. Matty apparently is doing nothing to keep Jimmy from the minors. : Clarence Roland, plans to take about thirty-six players to the train-| ing camp in Texas. This is about the | top figure among' the major league | clubs. 3 John Henry and 'Art Wilson - will battle for the position of first catcher for the Braves. The contest shapes up as a decidedly open oné as the] teams prepare to leave for the train- | ing camp. : The physician who has been at-| tending pitcher Phil Douglas declar-| es he will be unable to play with the | Covel- | ,& gun and is now in training at Camp Cubs next season.

Manager Griffiths thinks | that four twirlers are enough, { Norman W. Plitt, a young pitcher} purchased by Brooklyn : from the| Portland, Me., club of the Eastern | League, has sent in his signed con- tract to President Ebbets. | George Dauss, the Tigers' veteran pitcher has sent his signed contract to President Navin. Ernie Johnston, the Browns' util- ity infielder, has signed his 1918 contract, The condition of International League players generally, held up by the league's case of suspended ani- mation, may be bad enough, but con- sider the sad fate of the Buffalo play- ers. The affairs of this club are in tthe hands of a receiver and he can't dispose of any "assets," ineluding players, without a court order. Paddy Martin, 'who trained with the Leaf's last spring, has shouldered Upton, Last season Martin was with New London.

Some statistician has estimated that the two major leagues will give up $600,000 in railroad fares the coming season. The total mileage of each league is about 85,000 miles, which means an average expense for each player of about $1,700. Outfielder Paul Smith, purchased from Montreal by the Boston Red Sox, has been accepted for military service at his home in Mount Zion, 111, and probably do his training at some army cantonment this spring, instead of at Hot Springs with Kd. Barrow's team}. Ea aa hi ut the « Box Battled Hard. Regarding the Dental-Kitchener game, the Toronto Daily Empire says: --Willard Box played for a portion of every period, but his speed did not count for a great deal because the puck could not be carr- ied. He did not show any sign of his recent illness, but on the small rink and under the incessant back check- ing he only got going in spots. He tried gamely and battled to the last, His team lost, but a tribute to his fidelity and unselfish sportmanship should be paid for his seal in attemp- ting the struggle.
