CAN YOU Si

THE

DODO BAIL?

(BY SPIKE.) When It comes to rolling the dodo ball, Ned Nelson, the well-known onearmed wonder in charge of Towle's & McCool's alleys In Hammond, has it on any pinrnan in Lake county. This is not giving him enough credit, so we bo as far as to say that Nelson has the buldge on some of the best pinmen in the country, as he has been up against them and has won honors and medals palore.

Bowlers from various nooks and corners of the Calumet region are endeavoring to secure a copyright on Nelson's dodo, but the pinmen are

setiding them down the alleys with but

little success. More dodo balls are be

in-g used now than ever before and the pinmen are finding that it is an art to use the dodo with any results. Some of the bowlers have been able to start it down the polished surface all right, but when it gets to traveling near the

maples it goes wide as a barn. Of

course Nelson has his off day like any

other pinman, but in his usual form it is a pleasure to watch him conquer the invincible dodo. With as much ease as a duck takes to water Nelson starts

the dodo at the foul line with the ac

curacy of an arrow and when It hits No. 1 and 3 it strikes with the same trueness, cleaning the pins into the backstop as if they had been bumped

by a small cyclone.

But don't Imagine for a minute that Nelson has mastered the dodo in one or two years. He has sent uncounted balls down the alley before he even became acquainted with the trying do

do, but now he can think with appreciation that he Is "king of the dodo" in many states. Nelson has held the championship of Chicago several times during his career, but this year ran into a streak of bad luck.

corn will ENLARGE PARK TO SEAT 45,000 Sox Owner Seeks to Plan to Add 15,000 to Capacity of Plant.

A plant that will seat 45,000 people, or approximately as many as ever tried to see a ball game, will be the proud

possession of Charles A. Comlskey as soon as any one can tell him how to

build It. This doesn't mean that Co mtskey is going to give up the com

n.iratlvelv new home of the Sox at

Thirty-fifth street and Shields avenue

He is going to add to it, and he doesn t

know how.

At present the Sox plant covers more

area than any in the country. And at rresent there isn't a bad seat in the

park a seat from which it is impos

sible to get a clear view of a ball game.

On the first of January a big block of ground outside the yard on the Wentworth avenue side will be turned over

to the club, and it is there that the new seats will be erected. In fact, that is about the only place they could be, for the left field is backed up against the street. But there are objections to every plan that has been introduced. The present site of the home plate and the other bases cannot be changed, because the grandstand was built so that every seat In it would command a view of the entire diamond. Then it is not feasible to keep on building aimlessly on the new ground, as some of the new seats would have to be at a bad angle and far away from the diamond. Moreover, the Sox chief does not want to ruin the symmetrical appearance of his plant by making it lopsided. He has a plan by which he can Increase his capacity by 8,500. but he wants seats for 16,000 more. The record crowd at a city serleH In 1911 numbered almost 35,000. It was estimated that almost 10.000 more were enduring mental torture outside the park. Commy wants things fixed so that no one will have to jro through similar suffering. When some one has told hi mhow to do the fixing, he will go ahead and build an amusement park or Bard's banquet hall on the spare ground. KILBANE SIGNED ,

TINKER NOW FULL-

FLEDGED MANAGER Cincinnati, O., De6. 19. Joe Tinker, the former star shortstop of the Chicago Cubs, became a full-fledged Red yesterday, when he signed his contract as manager and shortstop for the Cincinnati team. The terms of the contract were not made public, but it is said it is large enough to repay Tinker for his trouble. With the signing of this document Joe entered into full authority and assumed full control of the team which he will try to lead to victory in the campaign for the 1913 National league pennant. While this important business was being transacted in President Herrmann's office, Tinker said he would like to have "Three Fingered" Brovn on his team next year, believing the experience of the veteran star would prove of value to Cincinnati. It is probable that an effort will be made to

secure the former Cuh, pitcher. Tinker also announced he had lines on several

promising young player who will be given consideration by the club.

Tinker will return to Chicago in time

to spend the holidays with his family, He will be back in Cincinnati ?on er New Year's. The completpn of negotiations with Tinker for the man

agement of the Reds leaves Frank Chance free to carry on his deal with

the New York Americans for the lead ershlp of the Yankees.

INTERN AIONAL

MEET CERTAIN Cambridge, Mass., Dec. 19. Harvard and Yale have completed informal ar

rangements for a dual meet with O

ford and Cambridge at the stadium here next summer. Official confirmation of the meet is expected in a few

days. The date tentatively fixed for

the event Is June 21, the day follow

London.

New York. Dec. 19. While Eddie McGoorty and his manager, Marty Forking, are spending the holidays in this township, a large cloud, resembling a $50,000 certificate, is speeding from Philadelphia. Judging from the rate of flight for which that beautiful city Is noted, that cloud is due shortly after New Year's day. It might only be fair to mention that the etheral body Is Jack McCarron. who is tutored by none other than Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, the "Woodbury of , the fistic arena." This is neither a knock nor a boost, but it goes as it lays. Jawn, by the way, is the devoted friend of A- J. Drexel-Biddle, who combines boxing with Sunday schools, and the former thinks very highly of McCarron. "To demonstrate my perfect confidence in this most absorbing student in my college of pugilistic attainments and airaln to convince the highly cul

tured assemblage of citizens that help t opurlfy the sport," says Jawn in one breath, "I, in my liberality,' bestowed upon my protege the $50,000 appellation. I could have easily made him a thirty-cent battler, but there are too many in that class."

Los Angeles, Dec. 19. Johnny Kilbane. featherweight champion of the

world, will defend his title against Johnny Dundee, the clever and hardhitting Italian boxer, who hangs up his hat at "Forty-second and Broadway." The little 122-pounders will meet next April In a scheduled twenty-round battle before the Pacific Athletic club at Vernon.. The club's regular official, Charles F. Eyton, is named as referee. The exact date of the contest has been left open pending the arrivals of the principals on the coast. Ringside weight has been agreed upon. Kilbane telegraphed from his home In Cleveland last night, accepting the terms offered by Promoter T. J. McCarey. Dundee's manager, Scotty Modtelth, O. K.'d the articles before going east last month. Dundee's only Los Angeles showing was when he decisively beat Frankie Conley. His work upon this occasion was little short of sensational and twelve hours later McCarey began the

National league bulletin," said President Thomas J. Lynch today. "I have not received formal notice from President Herrmann of the Cincinnati club that Chance is a free agent." This statement was Issue dto deny a story from Cincinnati that Herrmann had not given up his right to the services of the former Chicago manager.
