BUSH AND COBB DUE TODAY
The Veterans and Bronchos to
Play Saturday and Sunday.
Saturday a Benefit Game.
With Cobb Bush Schmidt md Mor-

now in the spring training eamp. 1 ci-

Sam Crawford who is accompanied by
Mrs. Crawford; O’Leary Killian. V il
lefts and the Jones boys —Dave and
T Tom. Ownie Bush will probably arrive
today and Ty Cobb will probably fol-
low on his heels.
Spring training is now on in earnest
and the veterans are going into the
game with the spirit and enthusiasm of
college boys. They are all in pretty
fair shape and they are eager to get
into the game again.
They will have their first taste of the
real article next Saturday and Sunday
when they will line up against the
Bronchos at Electric park. The Satur
day game will be sor the benefit of the
Free Clinic for the maintenat ce of
•which funds are now being raised.
The Bronchos have heretofore faced
only the Colts and while they have not
been successful in taking a game from
them thev have played them almost to
a standstill and last Sunday came with-
in an ace of beating them. That the
Bronchos will double their effor.s
against the Veterans goes without sav-
ing and some red-hot baseball can le
looked for when these teams took up.

After Bronchos Held Them
Down 2 to 1 They Beat Fort
Worth 10 to 0.
What may be taken as some good
ante-season dope on Texas league clubs
is the game which was played at Fort
Worth yesterday between the Panthers
and the Tiger Cubs. After the Bron-
chos held the Tigers down to 2 to 1 last
Sunday the Tigers went to Panther-
town and after an all-night ride went
out to the lot and trimmed the Pan
thers by a score of 10 to 0. Some U:f-
fereuee from the Broncho score eh?
Looks pretty good from a San Antonio
standpoint. These games form an in-
teresting topic of discussion for the
fans who are pleased with the Bron
chos' showing. Wilson Matthews uri

THE FIGHTING GAME
Reviewed By Tip Wright From Ancient Rome to San Francisco.
By Tip Wright.
As Bendigo. Win. Thompson became
champion of England. He gained
prominence by defeating the giant
Caunt. It was at this time that men
began to be matched according to
weight instead of indiscriminately.
Bendigo was a great infighter and
introduced the uppercut. When he
fought the long armed Langan and
could not touch him at long range he
simulated weakness and Langan
walking into the trap; was terribly pun-
ished and unable to continue.
At this period the battles were fought!
ion the turf and the men wore shoos!
। equipped with spikes to give them firm
.looting. It was not unusual for fight
ers to leave the ring with blood stream
ing from their feet as the result oft
being spiked.
Tn 1849 the title went begging until
i taken up by Con Parker who crime to I
this country and died. For a time no;
one laid claim to the title. About this
time Bendigo announced his readiness
to return and defend it. Bendigo was.
nil of 40 and lame. He fought Pad-
- dock. In this fight the spikes to which
objection had been ntade were done
| away with.
। Jumping a considerable period. Tom
Sayers is next taken up as champion of
England nnd surely no better man ever
wore the honor. Sayers’ career was re-

BRONCHOS AND CADETS
HAVE A GAME TODAY
The Bronchos arc haiing a game at
Electric park this afternoon with the I
team from the West Texas Military
academy. The cadets have a pretty
fast little nine and they expect to
make it interesting for the leaguers.'
This suits Chief Leidy just right fori
if there is anything he likes it is aj
little excitement in a ball game and
the faster the cadets will go the bet
ter it will please him.
The rest of the team are also eager
for a fast game for they are feeling
good and want quick action. The
team had a good workout yesterday
and the players are feeling fine today
as a result. Some of them arc still a
little sore but the hot sun. today will
draw this out as soon as they get into I
action. y

while the Beethovens Hawks and So-

Splashes were not as frequent for the

CITY TENPIN TOURNAMENT.
Class A.
Cahill took Thomas’ measure for ‘
ed the cry that the referee had declared
the tight oyer and within five minutes
he was totally blind.
Jem Mace followed Sayers as chant
pion. Mace was a wonder. He possess-
ed remarkable punishing ability and
today wmild be pointed out ss a man
with a kick.
Tom King was the last English cham-
pion. if King lacked the- science of
Sayers. Spring an.l earlier champions
he deserved credit for gameness hon-
esty fairness and willingness.
He stood six feet two inches aud|
weighed 179. He won the champion
ship from Mace and defended it against
John C. Heenan whom he beat in 19
rounds. After this he retired giving
up the belt.
The title passed around from time to
time but Mace usually won it after for-
feiting to someone. In 1868 J. Wor
maid and Baldwin fought the first
championship battle in this country
the battle being a draw. In 1870 Jem
Mace defeated Tom Allen who had
been beaten by McCoole and in 1872
Mace ami Joe Coburn fought a draw
for the title which does not appear to
have belonged to anyone in particular
until the appearance of Paddy Ryan.

TRAINER OF SPRINTERS SIGNED
TO PUT SPEED IN BIG LEAGUERS
By Top Wright.
There's a end of reflection for base
ball managers to ehew upon in this
story. It's based on Jim McGuire the
man who developed the Boston “Sjxied
Boys’’ only to lose his job because
he and President John I. Taylor could
not agree.
When the hiatus appeared between
McGuire aud Boston the veteran was
grabbed by Cleveland to coach pitch
ers. Ere the season closed he was man
ager vice Napoleon Lajoie resigned.
When the flag fell McGuire hied him
self into Michigan where lies Albion
his home. When he had things snug
and wanted to think he hiked to a lake
where be has a caiup. aud. close to na
ture. communed with himself.
AV hat did he find! He found him
self absolute dictator of a team which
every season was touted to win a pen
nant only to blow up like a punctured
balloon. Why?
That's what he wanted to know. He
saw stars who could hit and field
pitchers and catchers the best in the
business. Yet there was nothing stir-
ring on peunaut avenue. Apparently
tho fates had things iced for the team.
Last fall McGuire went scouting far
nud wide from the Pacific to the Atlan-
tic and from the gulf to the copper
country. He gleaned en route aud one
of the cherries he plucked was Frank
Schmieder of Portland Ore. trainer of
the Multnomah Athletic club.
Schmieder is 26 and his name is
familiar to men who follow athletics
and especially those who watch the do-
ings of the knights of the cinder path.
It was Schmieder who prepped For-
rest Smithson champion Olympian
hurdler in the early days of 1908.
Schmieder learned game from Bill
Haywood trainer of the Oregon uni-
versity track team; Walter t'hristy. the
Stanford trainer nnd Jack King the
foot racer. Ntiff ced.
In addition to signing Sc hmieder. Mc-
Guire picked up youngsters noted for
their lightness of foot and their abil-
ity to slam the ball aud handle it.
Then he cut adrift tome deadwood
that dogged the wheels of his ball ma
chino. In other words he canned the
slow ones.
CHAUFFEURS OF CITY

AVbat's the answer!
Speed my boy; speed. Oodles of
speed. The good “Deacon’’ McGuire
rotund as a veteran senator just yearns
for boys who can do a hundred in even •
time.
To develop speed by instructing the
young men how to get in motion anil
how to keep going once they are start-
ed. he imported Schmieder: and you
can bet yon last yen this same
Schmieder has his little job carved out
for him.
But that's what Ibis trainer is hired
for. He knows the game aud he’s go-
ing to impart it to a bunch of major
leaguers if he has to use a hypo and
shoot it into them.
McGuire is the bell wether manager
with a sprint master. Uis action
marks an epoch in base ball. If suc-
cessful. others will fall into line.
AU of which causes me to recall that
T suggested tho advisability of engag-
ing an old-time sprinter to coach tho
players not long since.
