IN THE WORLD OF SPORT

Billy Papke, Whom Middleweights Are Sidestepping.

Since his disgraceful fiasco with old Joe Thomas. Billy Papke. "The Illinois Thunderbolt." has made frequent and emphatic denials of any crookedness about the bout that went ovef the fifteen rounds by "mistake.” Billy has declared up and down that he will Show the California public that he ean fight, and tight on the square. He picked Jim (Fire mam Flynn as his next opponent, but the bout was called Off. Then he made a date with Jimmy Howard, and Jimmy has just made it known that he will not enter the ring with the "Thunderbolt.” It looks as though middleweights were a little leary of tackling the husky representative of the Papke family in his wrath. Cost of Running Baseball Club. Few people stop to consider the cost of keeping un a ball club. The expense goes on not only in the regular season, when the gates are working for the club, but it is a big proposition in the spring training camp. Manager Hughie Jennings of the Detroits Wently estimated that the Tigers* expense a week while in training is just about Sl.OOu He remarked that that was only a beginning . —We bare the betel bill, the car to grounds, the baths and other like incidentals to consider, and this makes the figures mentioned by me rather conservative when you consider that we have twenty-four men in the camp. ‘The Detroit club is liberal. It calculates on an outlay of from SIO,OOO to SIS.UUO during the training season. While the pay of the players does not start until April 15. rhe traveling expenses. hotel tare and other incidentals give a magnificent total and one that would appal! were it not for the fact that a winning club is worth its weight in gold. ’* •This outlay is very nearly evened •p in ihe first series of the league race. Out at that time the expenses keep running also. However, it is not long before the spring debt is rubbed out "Our salary fist: Well. we nay out

about SIOO.OUO a month for"our players. Add that to the other large expenses and you have some idea of the cost of a pennant winning ball club. A club has to take in some pretty sizable crowds to get backtbe money spent And yet baseball is paying tn most towns." Playing Managers Now Scarce. There’s nothing to it but that these are baseball's big. important days and that inside of a very, few years there won’t be a single player-manager left. Clarke and Chance admit that they’ve had enough—that the double work is too strenuous for them. Both hope to go to the bench next spring. It wasn’t so many years ago that there were very few bench managers. Now the majority of them operate from the coop—to wit: McGraw. Lake. Dahlen. Griffith. Mack. McAleer. Donovan. Stallings. Duffy. McGuire. Jennings and O’Connor. By the bye. notice there isn’t a single player-manager in the American league. Manager Fred Clarke says that the slump bis boys have taken is something that comes to all ball teams, and the team that cannot stand a little backwash now and then should never be classed as the real thing in baseball. .

Pessimistic Brown Fan Musings. What s the matter with the St. Louis Browns? One St. Louis man replies: ‘They can’t hit. They have no pitching staff worth the name at present They have a first class baseman who is overanxious to make good. They have a star outfielder who reported six weeks lath. They are demoralized through failure to get together at the start and through the fact that not a. pitcher on the staff can hold down the opposition. And if there's anything else you can think of you might include that toq.” - Pitcher Vickers Wants to Catch. Baltimore may develop another Roger Bresnahan Pitcher Kobe Vickers’ dreams may materialize if rhe catching staff should get crippled. He has signified his intentions along that line and is patiently waiting for the opportunity to don the wind pad and the wire screen Like Roger, he may get his chance, and this chance may be the development of another pitchercatcher. »

The Wise Fool.

“To what do you attribute your unvarying success?" “To being picked early for the village foot Nobody ever tried to get, me to indorse a note or go into a scheme.”— Brooklyn Citizen. • The Danger. “It is always dangerous to try to get something for nothing." remarked the wise guy. “Yes: you might get what you deserve,” added the simple mug.—Phil- | adelphia Record. The Secret. “Miss Bright” whispered Miss Gaussip. "can you keep a secret?” “Yes.” replied Miss Bright also whispering. "1 can keep one as well as you can.” — Catholic Standard and Times. * 1 In the Future. - “Whom are they after in this aviator trust?” ' " “Naturally after the man higher up.” I —Baltimore American.

SNAPSHOTS AT CELEBRITIES

Edward F. Croker, New York's Fire Chief.

Edward t Croker. chief of New ' York's tire fighters, whose recent condemnation ot the metnods of recruiting men for the department attracted wide attention, is a nephew of Richard Croker, former leader of Tammany hall. Chief Croker claims that recruits are selected for their mental rather than physical equipment, with the result that the force is deteriorating. . This the commissioners deny and re- j tort that Croker subjects his men to unnecessary danger; that bis system of i fire fighting is antiquated. As to the last charge it may be stated in refutation that the board of fire underwriters are warm supporters of Chief Croker They have stood by him on more than one occasion when he has been attacked- They believe that as a fire fighter he is unsurpassed. Furthermore, they say that Croker Is the inventor of the water curtain, a device which consists in the creation of a miniature Niagara between the fire and threatened buildings by throwing tremendous quantities of water into the air to fall again between the blazing structure and its neighbors; of the tire helmet, which permits firemen to enter the worst smoke filled places with immunity, and of the searchlight, which has been so useful in many of the worst night fires. One more contention they raised—Chief Croker has never been accused of asking a man under him to go where he would not go himself, and they recall that in many instances it was the chief himself who led rescue parties into perfect volcanoes of fire. N. B. Broward, a Man of the People. Former Governor Napoleon B. Broward of Florida, who wrested the toga from Senator Taliaferro in the recent state primary election, has had a varied and interesting career. Indeed, in many respects his early life parallels that of Abraham Lincoln. Both were born in poverty, and both achieved high honors in spite of the great difficulties to be overcome. In defeating Senator Taliaferro for the honor ot representing Florida in the United States senate Mr. Broward won a great personal victory. Born on a farm in Florida, the future senator had a hard row to hoe. He labored in logging camp, as a steam-

Finally he got to be owner and cahtaiik and gained not a little notoriety by operating the boat Three Friends in aid of the Cuban revolu tionists. His first entry into politics was in ISS7. when he became temporary sheriff of bis native «-ounty by appointment. He was elected and re-elected until 1900. when he went to the state legislature. Four years later be was elected governor and next March, if nothing unforeseen happens, will take his seat in the Ofiiied States senate.
