'AFTER A UTILITY MAN

Phillips. Has Signed Lindsay for Sub Inficldcr and Powell for Outfield. Manager rhillips, of the Indianapolis baseball team, has received word that Georgs Hcgckver will arrive in Indianapolis the latter part of this week and it may be that Ilogrievcr may decide to sign his Indianapolis contract when he comes to this city. Since Manager Phillips sent a contract to Hogrievcr he has received no word from the outfielder whether the terms offered were satisfactory or not. The popular right fielder has a habit of waiting until warm weather before he gives his views on the question of signing a contract. The Indianapolis management expects to have llogriever here again this season.and firmly believes that he will sign when he comes here thlü week. The other Indianapolis players will report here a "week from next Wednesday and on the' following Saturday the Mrst exhibition game of the season will be played. The recent cold weather has delayed the work at the park, but the groundkeeper says he will get th IWd into tlrst-class shape within a few days after the ground becomes dry. The Indianapolis club is trying to obtain good man to fill the vacancy left by Orvllle Woodruff, who has signed to play T.irh Cincinnati. Woodruff was a good utility man as ho could play either the In or outrteld and go behind the bat If necessary. Manager Phillips is on the lookout for a strong outfielder as. well as a good utility man. , Ireident Ituschaupt is now on a trip trying: to land two good men, for Indianapolis. Chris Lindsay, of Hochester, Pa., has been signed as a substitute Inflelder, but it Is not believed that he will prove strong enough to fill Woodruff's place. The club has also steiwd W. D. Powell, of Charlestown, W. Va., for a trial in the outfield. Both men have madi good records In minor leagues, but It is doubtful if they are yet fast enough for the American Association. 'ATHLETIC BENEFITS ' IN HANDBALL GAME Philadelphia Record. "Handball is the best all-round athletic port in the world, and I want to see every young man make it a study, says Michael Fgan, the world's champion. "We cannot ail be chamfior.s, but every one can derive athletic benefits from the game. I would cdvlse every man that is Interested In the welfare of his body to start In at the game and see It through. "Don't go into a court with your clothes on and play a few points In a listless, halfhearted manner, as If you were atraid of straining something. Take off your clothes, get Into a pair of trunks and slippers and tackle the game as if it meant something to you. .When you swing your arm swing hard, and when you run run fast. "Swing with an underhand motion when possible, and put the weight of the body behind tho blow. Stand firmly on both feet, bo that you can recover before your opponent has put the ball beyond reach. 'As foon as sou have hit the ball Jump light back into position and await the return. Be right up on your toes all the time, ar.d learn to side-step In a lively manner. By all means work the left hand (If you are a right-handed player, and vice versa Into as fine a grade of dexterity as the hand that you most ntturally use.) "Learn U slam the ball from any position and den't stop to pose before a delivery, as grand-stand plays are the ruination of more promising players than any other tingle caue. Now we come to the other branch of the game. "Get a handball head, and never let It get away from you. Make your' plans and carry them out. no matter how hot the game grows, Be versatile in your serves and returns. If your apponent Is standing pretty well in front, put the ball over his head, and if he is in the back of the court hit it easy and make hint run to the front after it. "If you have been serving hard put the jiext one just back of the short line and If your opponent is better with-his right hand than with his left keep the ball against the left wall. "Go Into the game in good condition. If you are tired and worn out don't play. Never play within less than two hours after a meal. When yo.u have finished leave the court immediately to- avoid a draught. Co at once to the shower and take a thorough boiling. Then a brisk rub-down, and I promise you that your eye will sparkle and you will hold your head up. Get a ball and play against a single wall until you "have mastered every .vertical angle. Then try a corner and get accustomed to the particular carom on every stroke. Uy the time that you get to play match games you will know Just what to expect and your opponent cannot dish up any new arg!es. Aside frcm these few elementary points handball has the same requisites as every other athletjp sport." FROM TRACK AND STABLE.

Xo One Can Blame the Boxers for

Desiring a Revision of the a Revisic Weights. CASE OF PRIVATION Latter-Day Professionals Arc Not Eacrer to Take Off Much Weicht." PHILADELPHIA, March 1?.-Just because a few successful professional champion boxers clamor for a new scale of weights, several scribes in the West are endeavoring to' have a popular rearrangement of the classes. No one can blame the boxers, because- they are gradually outgrowing the class which they claim to be champions of, and are not so sure whether they can hold. their own if they graduate. As for the scribes; no one should for a moment take them seriously. Not one of them ever used a set of gloves, for the purpose they were intended, and it is safe to say thej' neven trained for any contest requiring courage and endurance. If professional boxers, who are a whimsical lot, were left to themselves, there would be a class for each weight from 105 to 200 pounds. But custom, tradition and common sense is bcund to step in, with the result that there will be an adherence to "the old weights, which are and always will be popular the world over. A bantam-weight will always be a bantam-w-eight and not a boiled down feather-weight, and so on up the scale. There is a gradual shrinkage of strenuous work by the professional boxer in his training, and he now wants to compete at a weight which Is comfortable and which is not attained by self-denlal. hard work and living close to nature. Depriving one's self of the luxuries of life, living as nature intends man should live, means in many instances self-infiicted punishment, but the results are well worth the sacrifice. Scores of Instances could be related where amateur and professional athletes who started ont to reduce themselves to a certain weight did not taste a morsel of food nor drink one glass of water for twen-ty-fpur hours preceding the time to weigh in. One incident will serve the purpose. The occasion was September, lftfl. The contest was between Jack McAuliffe, who was regarded, as the world's champion lightweight, and Austin Gibbons. The scene of the contest was Hoboken. N J. . The match was the result of an argument in a New York hotel the month before. The Paterson (N. J.) contingent, who believed Gibbons was a world beater, wagered freely that McAuliffe could not beat their protege at 135 pounds, weigh-in at the ringside. McAuliffe. who was present, told his friends to take all the wagers, and that be would be at the ringside, weighing 135 pounds, if he had to be carried there on a sheet. This was exactly four weeks before the contest, and McAuliffe weighed 151 pounds. The great lightweight could not be bandied. The match was quickly made, with a purse of for the winner and $500 to the loser, and a forfeiture of $500 each If the weight was not made. Gibblus had no trouble; it was his natural weight. As for McAuliffe, beginning with the next day, it was four weeks of continuous suffering and privation. He was as persistent as he was plucky. Day after day his chief adviser, Jerry Mahoney, pleaded with him to abandon the contest. But " he was obdurate. My friends have wagered money, and they shall win,", was his constant reply. At; the hour to be weighed the grqpit lightweight had to be carried to the clubhouse, and he tipped the beam at exactly 135 pounds. This was 9 p. m. Gibbons- immediately went to the ring, while a score of willing hands had cubes of toast dipped into beef tea ready to feed to McAuliffe. His body was massaged with a liniment which was largely composed of olive "oil, while he was being fed, and- all the while the Paterson lightweight was sitting impatiently in the ring, every minute getting more, nervous. At y:35 the Gibbons contingent began to "get wise," and appealed to the referee, Jere Dunn, and McAuliffe was given five "minutes to be in the ring. It was nearly 10 o'clock before the bout started. The hour's rest and miniature banquet had worked marvels with the champion. The story of the contest is now a matter of history. McAuliffe was given the partially digested food between each round, and the police Interfered in the sixth round to prevent Gibbons being .knocked out. What McAuliffe did in his training, the self-denial resorted to and the sacrlfies made to attain the one object should be a good lesson to the professionals of to-day who clamor for a readjustment of the classes. If you are too big for a fightweight come out pluckily and acknowledge It. Try your fate among the welterweights, and don't masquerade.

And now there is talk of a polo players union. The idea for this etarted in the fertile brain of Barney Doherty, and it is his plan to have all players meet at French Lick Springs at the close of the present playin? season, to adopt a schedule of salaries which will be asked for by those of the players who sign National. League contracts. Three members cf the Richmond club are boosting the proposed alliance, and it is a certainty that nbnö'Tjf the Western or Central League players will cast his fortunes with the Doherty-Bone-Cunning-ham, sr., combination. Salaries for polo plajers in the East ranged from $12 to $25 per week, the stars getting the latter figure. In the Western and Central leagues there is little difference in the average salaries paid the players, the lowest pay for a utility man being $25, and some of the six men receive as much as $40. The. highest salary paid is said to be $100 a week, and the average is not a great way from $50. In the East, however, the plajers, when appearing in other towns, can return to their homes on the interurban or steam lines, so closely are the cities bunched. Even the star players had regular employment that kept them busy during the day, and the money earned playing polo was all velvet. The size of the playing surface of the Eastern floors is about one-half "what it is in the West, where the floos are regulation size. The skating fad has been dead in the East for. several years, and little, if any, effort has. been made to revive it. In the -West this is entirely different, as the revenue from turning the rinks over to skaters every afternoon and four nights a week is no small item to the managers, and has gone a long way toward making it possible to hold out big salaries as au inducement for the fastest players In the game to come West. A Richmond exchango contains the following: "Richmond may be thankful that it had . numerous games with the Indians when they were in a weakeued condition." Truer words were never spoken. Mrs. C. N. Smith, the assistant secretary of the Western League, has been requested by many to issue another polo guide at the close of the present season. 'The success achieved by her first attempt at the end of last season has created a great demand for another edition. Mrs. Smith has not as yet decided to undertake the work, as It Involves an almost endless amount of labor, but should she do so the books will contain not only the statistics of the Western League. ,but also -the records and figures from the Central and the records of. all the recognized players now in the East. Captam Eddie Menard, of the Logansport Central League club, will not go into the game again until his right forefinger has entirely healed. lie has been suffering for Veeks with a fracture in that finger, but nevertheless has tried to. play several times when he thought his services were required. A Lafayette polo writer had a horrible dream recently, the substance of which was that a deal was on whereby the Indianapolis' management was to trade Goal Tender William Banuon for Tibbits. Just where this story originated is a hard matter to explain. The polo writer feferred to probably needed a space filler. The idea of Merely Mary Ann'" guarding the Indian cage, and Ilannou doing the brick-wall act for a, minor league club is enough to make the average fan heartsick. The Elwood fans have certainly shown a poor spirit iu their half-hearted support of their team. The attendance has dropped to almost nothing, and the team is in no way to h& blamed. It will be remembered that at the start of the season when Manager Sebern talked of making changes ki the Klwood line-up, the fans made, a very strenuous objection. They said: "Let well enough alono. The Elwood club as it now stands won the championship last j'ear, and it can repeat the trick if no changes are made." Mr. Sebern took their advice, and now that the Gray quintet Is not to be considered as a championship possibility, both

OUTFITTERS TO MEN AND WOMEN

Smm himself and the team have been J'hammered" until they are. beginning to show the effects of it. Next year the Elwood management will act as its judgment dictates, and it will again be up to the fans to show their approval .or disapproval. Muncie enthusiasts are "feeling down in the mouth," and for good cause. The cause of the slump undergone by Petty's men is easily explained, according to a Muncie paper. The small differences said to be existing among,t.he members of the Muncie' baud is one of the reasons. The chances of Muncie winning the Western' League championship are rapidly dropping, and it is up to the players to get out of the rut. Referee John Moran Is the best referee in the Western League, but that Is saying very little. Moran has lasted two seasons, and in that time has earned the reputation of being a home referee.- Waller has proved a dismal failure, and the other two or three dozen who have at times -tried their ability to control the floor have been furnished with transportation to the rear row. The Marion management cannot be too strongly censured for its action in using Phil Jason, of the Fort Wayne Central League club, against Indianapolis on Thursday night of last week. Marion played in this city on Tuesday night and lost after a swift finish by the Indian band. Manager Fox made the statement on that night that he wras going to use Jason on Thursday night and would put Frank Warner on the bench. Can the club managers play other stars when the weaker members of their teams are In good shape? Once started this practice will be the ruination of roller polo, and it cannot be stopped too quickly. The playing of 'Gardner, of Anderson, was permissible according to the ruling of the magnates at a meeting held in Anderson on Thursday. President Norton made thestatement after the meeting that Lewis, of Marion, woud appear on the Anderson rush .line against Richmond on Friday, night. Appear he did. Several actions of the club managers in the first-division cities would not bear a close and rigid inspection. It looks a great deal like Joe Fox was afraid of the Indians on Thursday night, as he had good reason to be. 4 Captain Fred Jean, of Marion, the greatest center In polodom, is playing the best game of his life at the present time. It has been so long since Jean has had an off night that the Tans donot look for anything but a star game from the big fellow. Jean can play fast enough and good enough polo without . resorting to dirty tactics, and the stories sent out from Richmondville about the big French-Canadian trying to injure George Bone are nothing but wild fancies. The polo season, which came in like ji lamb, seems likely to make its exit after the fashion of the king of beasts. The season closes on April 9, and the great majority of the players will return to their Eastern "homes at that ti me. Many of them have signed to ( play professional ball the coming summer. - Bets on the final standings of the Western and Central League clubs are being freely posted in the cities of the two circuits. The bets In the major league are' on first, second and last place. In the Central League the supporters of Lafayette, Kokomo, Danvilrb and Terre. Haute are backing their teams vith a vengeance. . The much-talked-of referee, James Hasset, has as j-et failed to arrive, and the Western League is still struggling along with a set of wholly incompetent Moor officials. 1 . A meeting of the officials and franchiseholders of the Central League will be held to-day at the Imperial Hotel. Several protested games are to come before the meeting. President William Foor, of .this city. Is .against the loaning and borrowing of players from the start to finish and will try to discourage this action among tho Central Leagu magnates. Sunday's . session bids fair to last all day, as plans for next season will be discussed. A Marion paper is credited with" the following: "Muncie has that peculiar feeling which one experiences when starting down In an elevator." Frank "Wodtke. captain of the Anderson Quintet, has received a letter from A. H. Barnes, manager, of the Racine, Wis,, team of last season, asking if the Anderson club can visit Racine about the middle of April and play a series of games with the Marion club. Racine polo fans want to see Mercer, Gardner and Cameron, all formtr Racine players, working with the other members of the Anderson and Marion clubs. Captaih Wodtke favors the idea, but has turned the matter over to Manager Norton. It is probable that the polo team composed of women, now playing in the gas belt, may be signed to play at least one gnme In this city. It Is said that the women put up a fast game, and should they play here the Auditorium should be packed. Llwood and Marlon have Lx.th had good crowds for this attraction. The' team will play in Marlon to-morrow night. The Richmond team Is the hardest loser in either of the two leagueM. In a recent game at Muncie, In which Petty's men won by a score of 3 to 2, vthc polo writers in the "home of Henley" got .together and concluded that the lst excuse for losing was to say that Captain Farrell's quintet played "dirty, treacherous" polo.. In the same story Eddie Wiggins is accused of tripping and holding big Darney Doherty.

A mosquito holding an elephant! 4-4-Manager Frank Wilson, of Logansport, has a very high opinion of the play of Goal Tender Sutton, of the Fort Wayne team. In a recent game between Logansport and Fort Wayne in which the former club was shut out Sutton made sixty-nlni stops out of tiixty-nine chances. TMs will probably stand for some time In polo annals. It s not- the highest number of, stops in a game, but it is the highest number of consecutive fctops. William Bannon, of the Indianapolis team,, the king of goal tenders, received the following letter of thanks from the league magnates, "who drew up the letter at a recent meeting In Anderson: "Dear Sir At a meeting of the directors of the Western Roller Tolo League a vote of thanks was officially extended to you for your services in inventing a mask for goal tenders which has been tried and . found eminently successful. The accidents avoided by the use of tho same have demonstrated its great value. We, one and alU thank you for your part in giving to thi game of polo this greatly needed protection." FITZ IN TRAINING. Begins Work at Bath Beach for Prospective Fights. NEW YORK, March 19. True to his promise, Bob Fitzsimmons has started In to train. Fitz has no fight in tight, at least no scheduled one, but he expects an Important engagement before long. Some of his friends say that his next meeting will be with Jim Corbett at San Francisco.. Th latter who," by the way, is in town-will not confirm this. Hut Corbett does not deny that he is doing some light exercise himself every day, which is signiflcanL Fitzsimmons is quaitered at Rath Beach, where he has a gymnasium adjoining his cottage. At present Fitz is without a sparring partner, but finds enough work to do on the road and by punching the bag. Tha.Cornishman has sent for Hank Griffln. th colored heavyweight of San Francisco, to labor with him. It is not unlikely that Fitzsimmons may get in the ring for a short scrap at Philadelphia if it. is mado worth his while. Thpre is talk of matching him acainnt Gus Ruhlin, who would, so many critics agree, prove an excellent tryout. Then th'-rc it another report that Fitz may have it out with "Jack Murtroe In IhiiadlphU If Jim Jeffries does not onJcfL JefTries recently said that he doe not. provided lie is assured that Fitz will not knock Munroe out.
