Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—Young Mr. Caldwell is going to crawl into a big league uniform next June and try to Burbank what has been a most creditable football career into something approximating baseball greatness. Others have tried it without making any great headway. Including James (Red Eye) Thorpe, a pioneer in the odd business of capitalizing the collegiate touchdown on the professional base lines. The Giants took Thorpe following his Olympic triumphs at Stock-

holm in 1912, and tried to make ft big leaguer out of him. They kept trying for seven years before admitting it couldn’t be done. Plainly, it is one k thing to smash the ends and another to smash the old t ( omato. Caldwell may prove an exception. There have been excep-

lions. Christy Matthewson of dear Old Bucknelt for one. At college he was more famed as a drop kicker than a pitcher. Subsequently he developed into one of the greatest pitchers of all time. a a a But these exceptions are rare. Caldwell Ls known more for his football exploits than his baseball gifts. At the moment he is a much sought after young man. No fewer than six big league clubs are dickering for him. I am reasonably sure that at least five of them never beard of him as a baseball player until he leaped into headline prominence last fall. ; a a a STILL Caldwell was, and still is, I suppose, quite a ball player as the earnest young college youths go. Asa freshman he hit .362 and as a sophomore .356. He didn’t get a chance to show much as a junior on account of a broken ankle. This year he is a senior. Caldwell always has hit in the clean-up position for Yale. This shows what Joe Wood, the veteran coach thinks of him as a hitter. For the most part the young man has played second base. This year he will play first. They say his arm is not as robust as it migln be, and for that reason first base is more likely to be his spot. a a a Caldwell is a six-footer, weighing 195 pounds, and is as trimly set up as a racing sloop. He came into my office yesterday towed by one Eddie Collins, a fellow' townsman of Cumberland, R. I„ and who appears to be functioning in connection with the young man’s affairs in a capacity similar to that which yielded mutual opulence to Messrs. Grange and Pyle. *fAROM the young man, I learned that the biggest day he ever has had on the diamond was when Yale played Harvard two years ago. In that game he got three hits out of four, including two doubles, and handled ten chances in the field without a bobble, nine assists and me putout. It was after that game, It develops, that Joe Wood who played professionally with the Boston and Cleveland Clubs, made the comment that Caldwell looked “a hell of a lot like that fellow Hornsby.” WOMEN’S MEET STARTS Pit United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 9.—The Central A.
