Some ball players fish and hunt during the off season, some have professions and others Just do a few odd jobs and wait for the annual spring pilgrimage to the southland to begin, but the one thought In mind at the outset of this wee spasm of Joy is that comedian Huck Sawyer, of the-Minneap-olis Millers, shown herewith, has what may be some people's idea of a regular position during the time of year that he Is not cavorting as a diamond star. Sawyer, who ’took rank along with Nick Altrock and Germany Schaffer as a diamond comedian during the time he was with the Washington club, spends his winter of discontent In the movies. By this Is not meant that he Is a mere patron, as some players are. He helps make 'em. being, as it were, a regular movie actor. In the accompanying picture Sawyer is shown playing "opposite” Mies Maud Wayne. Rather a pleasant occupation, eh. fans? f Seriously, Sawyer, along with Milan, Peekaboo Veach, of Indianapolis, and one or two pitchers, make up the "young blood” among General Joe Cantlllon's otherwise veteran Millers, who were scheduled to make their annual debut against the Indians this afternoon at Washington park. Sawyer plays second base in addition to his "antics,” while Milan Is an outfielcer Otherwise the Miller lineup is about the same as It was last year. Pongo and his boys—boys used advisedly—were a little late In arriving today, not reaching town until shortly after noon, but having had an off day on account of cold weather they were all set to give the Indians the customary hard run for the kopek.

SHORTRIDGE ATHLETICS. Braving the cold wintry wind at Willard park, Hendrick's Whites walloped Roberta's Grays, 15 to 7, in the first game of the Shortridge baseball league series yesterday. The affair was a batting bee from the start. All three pitchers were wild, and the infield cracked several times. The game between the Reds and Blues was postponed on account of the cold. The S. H. S. team held another practice at Willard park. Shortridge men are pleased that the sectional meet will be held at Willard park this year. The team is well acquainted with the east side field and track, and feels that It can make a much better showing here than away. The holding of the meet here will also bring heavy crowds of rooters, and a meet between the three Indianapolis high schools will be seen within Indianapolis for the first time since May, 1915.

Red Ameg’s Stunt Once upon a time Red Ames stepped out for the Giants on the opening day of a season.and held the Brooklyns hitless for nine Innings, but Brooklyn’s heaver was almost as gtingy and the Dodgers won the game In the thirteenth Inning. Two years ago Rube Marqnard cleaved his way to • no-hit glory by shutting out Brooklyn on April IS. Hut to see two no-hit games in the first breath of the season gives fandom ■hope of seeing some extraordinary baseball. If pitchers are so good at this time of the season it is reasonable to suppose they will improve. Last year’s record of four no-hit games already has been half equaled.

Major-General Wood Is Firm Believer in Athletics

NEW YORK, April 25.-rMajor-a«nertU Leonard Wood, when aAked about the value of athletics in connection with national preparedness the other day at Governor’s island, said, "Get into the

game.”

“Athletic training.” said the’ general, “is naturally a part of militaryv training, and they go hand in hand. Sound military training involves systematic, careful athletic work, work which tends to turn out a well-balanced physical man; one capable of standing the hard strains of military sendee.

General Wood favors all-round sports, i.uch as running, walking, weight throwing, swimming, baseball and football.

The

not consider our

general does

Behoofs cover sports as fully as they might and said valuable as our sports are now to those who engage in them, they are lacking to the extent that they tend to turn out comparatively few

trained athletes.

“If, on the other hand, the boy in school as part of his training course took up all-round sport, Joining all the school teams, there would be none of that feeling of inferiority which keeps many boys back from joining in sports. There would be dozens of boys no more expert than the next one. Some who were leaders at one game would have to be followers at another; every one would take part, and the benefit would be universal. In the end such a system would turn out a body of young men tained and ready If needed for their

country's call.”

ROBERTSON, OF GIANTS. Married life seems to have agreed with outfielder Robertson of the Giants, who is a benedict of three weeks, judging from the way he has been fielding and batting since the season opened. Robertson is touted as the fastest man in the National league in getting to first. Many of hla hits are of the infield variety 'which would be outs at first with the average runner. Many of the dopesters In the east think Robertson will top the National League hitters this year.

The most important baseball game of the season will, be played today between the leading Giants and the White Sox.

Thus the 4,000 horses now in training would be cut down at once to about thirty or forty horses and the saving in oats would be, if not large, at all events of real value in the present circumstances. Brood mares, stallions and yearlings and the thirty or forty horses which- might be entered for these five races ought to be strictly rationed, and the other horses should either be turned out to grass or killed. "In view of the fact that our stock of oats at the present rate of consumption may be completely exhausted by the middle of June, It would appear to me, even in the interest of horse breeding that the course I suggest is urgently advisable. —- "May I add that I have not raced a horse this year, and that I do not intend to do so.”
