Charlie has a staff of six stable boys and two doks, old Bubbles, | the veteran, and young Bubbles, nine | mouths old. .

The Detroit club is using a play | this year that looks good when it is | Successfully pulled, yet a great many | experts question its logic. : | It is the hit and run play with a| runner on second and one out. The] Tigers have tried it a number of times already, but haven't met with much success. ! With a runner on second, that run- | ner makes a break .for third with | the pitch. Of course that pulls the! tiird baseman over to cover, and it i8 up to the batter to hit through | the territory vacated. Opposing catchers will simply re- BOrt to.the pitch out to break up this | Play it the Tigers continue to use | it. The fact that a runner can score | from second on a single or an er- | Tor, is what causes most of the base- | ball 'experts to question the sound- ness of the 'play, i IN THE BIG SWIM. oy a } The following players have been | listed with baseball clubs in either | he National or American Leagues | #0d will be figuring in the big games Li's summer.

Then he gets u nd puts his face against the gr& ng and looks out at them, "The thing I like about Morvich is that he's such a nice horse; not like what Man o' War was like. Lord, now, there was a cranky horse; frac- tious, I calls him. He was nervous and petty in the stable and nervous on the track and a regular nuisance At the barrier. "I've seen a lot of hosses in my time around race tracks and it seems to me that Morvich has got more belly to him than any of them, even Man o' War, What 1 mean is like this: If a hoss is nerv- ous and mean, it's because he hasn't got the confidence he ought to have. | Now, Morvich is good and he knows he's good, and still he's just as kind as an old pony. If I go up to the stall and call him to the window, he'll let a stranger pet him, And when we go on the road with him, to take him to Kentucky for the Derby, that horse will just flop right down in the express car 4nd go to sleep." YANKS' NEW Ball Park Will Be Ready by Next Fall, Construction of a new stadium for the New York American League Club, a short distance from its pre- | sent "home" at the Polo Grounds, | | was begun today. | If the Yankees win the American League championship this year the stadium may be occupied for the world series. The park, furthermore, may be used for football games this fall'if it is completed in time. The eventful capacity of the stad- ium, which will have a three-deck stand surrounding the playing field, will be 85,000--greater than that of any ball park ever built. To begin with, however, temporary wooden bleachers will be used to supplement the concrete grandetand, and will be retained until the attendance war- rants completion of the plant. This may require several years, The park will be in the shape of a horseshoe, similar to the Polo Grounds, extending 700 feet along | 157th street and 700 feet down. The distance from the batter's box to the centre field "will be 470 feet, and from the box to right and left flelds 257 feet, making it more difficult than most parks in which to hit home rums, BENNY LEONARD'S BROTHER HAS FISTIC AMBITION. Benny Leomard's younger brother Joie is nineteen years old, weighs 132 pounds, and is two inches taller than the lightweight boxing cham- pion. Benny hopes Joie will be his successor as title holder. He is to make his debut in a short time. HUNTER BIGGEST GOLFER. | Stands 6 Feet, 514 Inches Tall and | Weighs 225 Pounds. A Who is the biggest golfer in Am- | erica? | The question can be answered without danger of refutation or fear | of offending any claimants. He is J. Monroe Hunter, new professional of | the Milwaukee Country Club, who | spent a day in Chicago, looking for some long driver willing to enter a| driving contest. Hunter is six feet, 5 1-2 inches tall and weighs 225 pounds.
