Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.—One of the old-young men of baseball got his name in the headlines of the metropolitan newspapers Wednesday —perhaps for the last time. Max Carey signed a contract to play with *he Brooklyn club next season. Some years back this would have been important from the standpoint of news, even as baseball news is carelessly measured. Today it is little more than a gesture—a gesture to a venerable antiquity and a throbbing background. Carey's best days have long since been spent. bob Carey is the dean of the old guard In the National League. He has been in the league since 1911. This will make his nineteenth year. No other active player has been in the National — or the American, either —that long. 808 OAREY PLAYED IN 108 GAMES LAST EEASON. A PLAYER WHO WORKS IN THAT MANY GAMES MUST BE CON EIDERED AN ACTIVE PLAYER. A VERY ACTIVE PLAYER. IN FACT. HE IS THE ONLY ACTIVE PLAYER NOW IN THE GAME WHO HAS BEEN IN MORE THAN J 000 GAMES NO PLAYER IN HIS OWN LEAGUE IS CLOSE TO HIM IN THIS RESPECT. BBS EDDIE COLLINS in the American Is ahead of Carey, but since he faced the pitchers only thirty-six times last season he hardly can be rated as an active player. Few players manage to stay in the game long enough to play in 2,000 games. You can count the number on the fingers of a trained seal's fin. almost. I think the records will show Ty Cobb led all the players for all time. His record was: Games. At Bat. Run*. 3,1133 11.129 v.m L-.. 1 While creditable. Carey's does not rate with the Georgian's. His record is: Games. At Bat. !?)£*: -,450 .0,331 1,343 ,808 n b a The difference between the two seems to be obvious • One has been a good ball player, the other was a great ball player. You may be interested In the following statistics as they apply to other players who are close to Carey in his league: Game!'. At Bat. Rum. Hits. MaranvlHe ....1.022 7.281 898 1.895 \t illtan’S 1.915 .97 1.91. 1.953 Roush 1.751 6.535 975 2.129 Hornsby ......1,129 6,852 1,31. 7..-L6 ana Os the pursuing four, Hornsby and Williams seem sure shots to reach the mark of 2.000 games, with Roush a probability. Maranville may not last the season. There aren't many others who are even close. Frankie Frisch, one of the veteran stars, is more than seven hundred games away, and the dope on him is that he has slowed up so that he may be moved over from second to third next season. jg ff ft CAREY is somewhat of a marvel to have lasted as long as he has, since much of his brilliance has been the product of his fleet legs. I doubt if the National League ever has seen a better base runner than this fellow. In his day he was the Cobb of life league, a constant source of worry to pitchers and a never-ending annoyance to catchers. b a tt IN 1813. CAREY'S FIRBT TULL YEAR. AS A REGULAR WITH PITTSBURGH. HE STfOLE 45 BASES. ONLY ONE OTHER PLAYER TOPPED HIM. THAT WAS 808 BfcSCHER OF CINCINNATI WHO CLICKED WITH 67. U tt tt But Besrher, gifted as he was. was no better base runner than the then ybuthful Carey; the edge he had was in knowing what pitchers ne could take a lead on and what catchers he could best afford to gamble with. When Carey learned what it was all about he became the perfect b„se runner. No player, not excepting Cobb, ever got away from first base faster or more unexpectedly, and since second base always has been stolen from first base —as involved as this may sound—Carey was virtually in a class by himself.

He also made anew qualifying record for the 500-mile race—that of 122.391 miles an hour for four laps.

Cruising In Sportland

OWNER Jim Perry of the Indians has had new honor thrust upon him to add to the prestige he received as a result of copping the American Association pennant last year and the “little world’s series” title. He has had a field named after him down in Sarasota, Fla., where the Hoosier champions will train this spring. After starting a fence around the baseball park there and enlarging and improving the grand stand and bleachers, Sarasota boosters decided the plant would look smarter if it had a name, and it has been christened “Perry Field.” Florida boosters were wise when they steered away from the name “Pennant Park” because John McGraw tried to develop some Sarasota acreage under that title during the land boom and only weeds and wind are its occupants now. a a a The Indians have tacked a game oh to their spring training schedule, it was announced today, and the Tampa team of the Southeastern League, will be played in Sarasota Saturday, March 9, during the annual pageant of Sara de Sota. an event which attracts thousands of Floridians to the city where the Tribesmen will train.

Big Ten Lead Involved Saturday night Indiana will play host to the powerful University of Wisconsin basketball aggregation as Purdue invades the stamping grounds of the Northwestern university court. Both games are Big Ten tilts and the leadership of the race hinges upon the contests. Interest in the Butler-Irish encounter has been mounting rapidly and there is a possibility that Friday night’s setto here may draw a “full house.” Indiana has been hard at work preparing for its battle with Wisconsin and the Badgers may bump into lots of trouble at Bloomington Saturday night.

BUD SAID THERE WASN’T A THING WRONG WITH THE BLOW ONLY THAT IT GAVE SINGER LIVER COMPLAINT. B B B “TT was Tommy Gibbons’ old liver punch,” Bud explained, “a left hook to the lower right ribs, and I was told in New York a few days ago that Singer was being doctored for an injured rib.

Recently, at Cadle tabernacle, a young man challenged the winner of the Kid Chissel-Ed Trovance bout by loud Introduction and much bowing to the audience. Chlssel was knocked down three times In the first round and flattened for keeps in the second. Thereupon, according to the promoter, he sought out the "challenger'’ to match him with Trovance the following week, and to his surprise and dismay was met with refusal. It was a case -of the wrong guy winning for that challenger. It is said he figured Chisse! was a cinch to beat the farmer lad —and he had boxed Chlssel before. a a a CNOLONEL LINDBERGH fooled A everybody for another upset.

Thank Y’ou, Steve! That optimistic young fellow who signs himself “Steve, Shelbvville High School, ‘22,” came through with a Valentine for Backboard today. A few days ago Steve wrote us a note wanting to bet on his old school against Technical. We took him on. Tech won. Hence the package on this department’s desk this morning. Yes—candy. B tt B We’ll Take Anderson Delphi’s due for a licking. ’ The Oracles play Anderson at Anderson Friday night and we’re picking the Staggsmen, to win by a dozen points. The team coached by Paul Lostutter hasn’t lost a game this season and really has a right to feel proud of its record. But toughter days are ahead.

He boxed with Johnny Grosso, Paul Hoffman and Pat McCarthy, while his opponent was working against Rush Heise, Tony Fuente, Jeff Carroll and Johnny Bell. Stribling appeared weak and inaccurate with his right, but his left was snappy. Sharkey and Grosso mixed with a will. Grosso reached Jack with both hands several times.

Rogers Hornsby’s Bat May Bring N, L. Pennant to Chicago Cubs Acquisition of Champion Hitter Puts Windy City Club in Favorite’s Stall.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY Unitecr Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Feb. 14.—Rogers Hornsby’s bat may mean a pennant for the Chicago Cubs. Few changes —the acquisition of Hornsby, a possible shift at third ba.se and added pitching material of a doubtful quantity—have been made in the Cubs, but the presence alone of the champion batsman of the National League may spell the difference between third and first place from 1928 to 1929. Hornsby is calculated not only to add punch to the Cubs’ attack, but to exert a steadying influence over Woody English, which will cause the young shortstop to develop into a star of the first magnitude. ~ Hornsby, who is 33, batted .387 while managing the Boston Braves last season. With the worries of a manager off his shoulders, Hornsby certainly should play as well the coming season as he did last. The only contemplated shift in the remainder of the lineup is to try Clarence Blair and Danny Taylor at third base along with Clyde Beck. Taylor, who also plays the outfield, batted .374 for Memphis. Blair batted .294 for Little Rock. Charley Grimm at first base and English at shortstop will complete I the infield. The only other infielder on the roster is Norman McMillan, who was a utility man last season. The Cubs have the same group of outfielders as last season. Stephenson in left, Wilson in center and Cuyler in right will form the regular trio, with Heatcote In a reserve role. Five new pitchers are on the squad. Outstanding among them Is Mike Cvengros, southpaw who has had tryouts with Washington and the White Sox. Cvengros, who won 21 and lost 8 for Wichita Falls, is counted on to replace Percy Jones,
