Several major league teams are all to the bad without them, and you can't extract ono of the live ones from bis present employers for any money. Among the clubs that need a first bagger are New York and Pitts burg, and there are others.'.? While the New .Yolks have two professional first basemen and some eager young subs, the team is nevertheless . up against it proper. Fred Tenney, once one of the greatest players that ever drew on the first bagman's glove, sab causa, vawroKKAiraicAir' oaaox riKST SACKXB. la about through. Merkle has been, tubbing on the station for two yean or so, but he has not even yet shown that he classes with the masters of the lob. 'Brooklyn has big Tim Jordan, who hi all O. K. when right, but his knees re bothering him. . Still, the Superbas have a good minor leaguer named Daubert Daub, old boss, is not a chicken', having first based for many - years, but he is said to have the goods and to be ready to deliver them. The Boston Nationals . don't ' even know yet Just what they will do for a first baseman and are crying aloud for one. They need a lot of "other players OA that Boston team, but they surely do need a first bagger. The erudite and foxy leader Frank Chance of Chicago isn't shy on first basemen, though. He is all there him self, of course. Cincinnati is all right. Dick HobUtxell Is .the real walloping kid and an play the base besides. Philadel phia Is fairly well off with Bransfield. - The champion Pirates are in trouble, They fired their .first bagger; and now they don't know whether Flynn, the man they are trying out, will do or will uruve n nivver. iuc 01. iaiuu Nationals are all to the good, for Ed' Aim Ktutmtohv la a atar tot h nn thA bas

Harry Davis, a moat artistic and capable player, but one who is beginning to grow old. ;lcAlccr, at Washington, la perplex ax Bob Unglaub is pretty good first baseman, but is also useful in other places,' and Jimmy would be delighted to land a fresh and ambitious juvenile.

He held Cleveland down to three hits Monday. uieveianas winning streak was' shorter than usual this spring. The Naps seem to be the same old crowd after all. -. ' McQulre used fourteen of his play ers against the Sox, but could not get a run across the plate. .Tom Jones of the Tigers will be out of . the game for some time. A line drive from Hartzelle's bat broke the big first baseman's nose. ; Wonder where he was looking. Crawford will play the bag during his absence. Collins and Baker are as valuable to Mack's team as Cobb and Crawford are to Jennings. It is their batting that gives their respective teams most of their runs. . . How long will the Quakers maintain their present burst of speed? Give that gans a running stare and they are aut to keep In the van for weeks to come.Speaking of long-hit balls at the Po lo Grounds, Cy Seymour once put a fair drive Into Manhattan Field, this in the nineties. Tom Daly made a home r.. ., i ft-ia fence. 1 " handed men who are now taking JQbB on first He is not a Hal Chase in speed, but Is a " wonder on long foul : flies - and , a whale of a batter. What Is the matter with Hamilton Hyatt? Campbell is playing right field for the Pirates during Wilson's disability and Hyatt doesn't seem to figure." ' Merkle Is rather fond of touching runners coming into first base. He does this sometimes when he could keep his foot on the bag and make the catch. The latter when possible is the safer way. Mr. Merkle should make use of his long reach. Boston has not won a game since the Nationals left there, and that was one of the teams that was figured to have a chance for the flag this year. It Jack Knight keeps up his present clip Foster is likely to wait some time before getting In at short again. Moat triple plays are made on line hits and the players making them fall into them naturally. A thrown bat hit Hank O'Day the other day and kept Wagner from stealing a base..

GRIFFITH S REDS

I LIKELY OUTFIT Cincinnati Has Become a Log ical Factor in National League Race. TEAM LOOKS FORMIDABLE PITCHING STAFF IS STRONGER THAN EVER AND THE ONLY CAUSE OF UNEASINESS IS AT SHORT FIELD. Look out for Clark Griffith and his band of Cincinnati Beds this season. Watch out for them from the very Jump, aud don't let your vigilance slacken anywhere along the route. A little carelessness, a little bullheadedness, a lack of precaution in dealing with this formidable baseball outfit, and the pennant will be floating over the park near the Ohio river. The On cinnatl aggregation lacks a few num bers of . being of championship team caliber, and any slackness .in fighting the Reds will mean a jolt that will make Pittsburg, Chicago and New York howl like lions. Batting counts terribly nowadays. when there isn't much of It, and the Keds will come very near being, the best batting team In the National league this season. A little money can be found, if need be, that they will outhit Pittsburg on the official aver ages when the count Is taken. Base running? They are the best base run ning: team in the National league right now, and they are not going to lose any of their speed. Fielding? They were not as good in the field work last season as they should bav been, but this year they are going to be there with the stops and pickups almost as accurately as even the Cubs, who are the smoothest and flossiest machines in baseball. The pitching department of the .Reds held them back last season and now Griffith thinks this bas beeji corrected. Net result: The Cincinnati team comes pretty near being the one best bet in baseball today if anybody offers decent odds. '; While it Is generally accepted as a solid proposition that Pittsburg and Chicago will fight it" out, Cincinnati will be the dark horse. The batting strength of the Cincinnati team, as Griffith has doped It out, is tremendous and is sure to be much better this season for several reasons.. Be it . remembered also ; that ; both Loberf 4 aud Downey ajre . great base runners naturally and that If they come -back- to their . proper batting form this year, they will also .steal a heap of extra cushions. ' '- 7 Hoblltzei, on first is a magnificent batsman, a mere boy, and likely to hit better as be gains muscle. Egan, on second, is a splendid bitter and one of the classiest base runners in the game. Lobert and Downey, as has been said, are almost certain , to come back to form. These four men were new to one another last season and played the infield raggedly. All of them are natural fielders, and this year they will play Infield ball of the machine pattern. Egan in particular will teach the ginger and , speed and will mold them into a quartet of winners. Mike Mitchell, in right, is a fine fielder, swell thrower and one of tho best batsmen in the country. In center Griff bas his choice among Paskert. Miller and McCabe. Paskert is a neat batsman and fast fielder. Miller Is easily the master of the lot with the stick and the best base runner, but has had an almost useless throwing arm. If the wing gets well he will yet nail the regular job; if not Paskert will take it at the 'stanzas McCabe, though a fine hitter, is crude and also a slow runner for so young & man. f Another element of added power is found la left Ebb Bescher. This man. new; to the big league,' was the lead ing base runner of tha circuit last season, though he hit lig-htly. Bescher is by rights a fine bitter and should return to form without fail. T -will Via coan 4-r AMfAM fta i"!! fltll can wmt OQ aU tne feattin an(J base running strength he had In 1909. The catchers, McLean, Clark and a new man named Konnick, are all good. McLean is a corking catcher and swell hitter when in good condition. Konnick Is touted as a sure comer, and Clark showed more than common quality last autumn. ' "' Fromiae, Spade, Gasper, Rowan, Beebe and Covaleslil make up a pitching staff that is good enough to win with and more than good nough with a team of sluggers back of them. Give the Red the least bit of luck,; start them on a winning streak, and it will be almost impossible to choke them, w Pin a deep tack right here: The Reds are going to be the heavy hitters of the league, and if Pittsburg or Chicago lets go the traces for even a little time that Red team is goinsr to win the Sag. Steinfeldt In Great Shape. Harry Steinfeldt the Cubs' star third sacker, is faster than be was In 1900. Instead of going: back he Is displaying more ginger than ever. He attributes his fine condition to his workout at Marlin Springs. "Finest place In the world to train, he says. Woatarn Handicap Shoot.: The great western handicap shoot will be held in Dea Moines, May 24 to Easily Rantomberod. Waiter Beg pardon, sir, but the gen tleman at this table usually remembers me.

KLAUS TO MEET PAPKE. Pittsburger and "Illinois Thunderbolt Will Travel Over Long Route May 14. With- the .understanding that the winner will be matched to meet Stanley Ketchel -for the middleweight championship of the world, Frank Klaus of

Pittsburg and Billy Papke of Kewanee, I1L, will .exchange jabs and nppercuta before Jimmy Coff roth's club at Colma, Cat. May 14, in a battle that will be practically to a finish, as the men have agreed to battle forty-five rounds. The coming meeting between Papka and Klaus will be their second, but the previous bout was merely a trial spin, as neither man could show what be possessed lu a six round journey. In that bout, however, critics gave the Pittsburgh an even break with the one time conqueror of Ketchel, and friends of the new contender for the middleweight crown are inclined to believe that be has a good chance to defeat Papke and get a meeting with Ketchel over a longer route. Klaus never has been asked to go more than ten rounds, and for that BILLT PAPKE, TBS "TLLISOXS THCNDBftBOM." reason it Is a matter of conjecture whether he will be able totand the trrind of a battle over the derby route Most of his work has been confined to the six round game around Pittsburg. As yet be has not shownfbe public tbat be possesses the ability to assimilate the grueling administered to the campaigners in the icinlty of the Golden Gate. if Papke has all the faecessary experi ence after years of. Bard work in Cal ifornta, and this -probably more than any one, thing will win for him. v Some will argue that "youth will be served, with the youth on Klaus side, but no one can deny that; Papke is still young man in years, with the addedj advantage of living a clean life. Giv itig Klaus all due credit, it looks from here as though Mr. Klaus . had been rather hasty in matching with a bruiser of the Papke type, and for his folly be may pay the penalty .If the , dope runs to form. . However, the short end ef In the betting nve, Jthc dopesters a lotting -just recekajftinstne woigast ieison ogm, ana tue same ming may happen again. But. until after the fight Papke will - have to . be conceded the best chance. OVERALL ANXIOUS TO CATCH One of Cubs' Star Twirlors Begs For Chance Behind Bat. Orval Overall, the .Chicago Nation als' giant pitcher, wants to become backstop. So overwhelming baa the desire become that he actually begged Manager. Chance for an opportunity to work behind the bat this season. During his college days at the TJnl verslty of California Overall had some experience as a catcher, and his ambition Is said to date from those days. He and Nick Williams, now with, the OBTZX OVaBAT.T. CT7BS OUST JTITUHEB. San . Francisco club of the Pacific Coast league, composed an interchangeable battery that was the despair of all the other "rah-rah" nines and half the professional clubs on the coast " 1 Overall never misses an opportunity to don a big: mitt in practice and never is so happy as when receiving the speedy slants of Mordecal Brown. Although Chance turned down the application without consideration. Overall declared that when bis useful days as a pitcher were over It would be the mitt and mask for him. MHIISTER IS HURT - The Rev.

1 "fu"v in . - i . THOMAS GOVERNOR MARSHALL DEFEATS T. TAGGART (Continued From Page One.) It commends Senator Shively and Governor Marshall. A plank favoring a modification of the .present county local option law, so as to make the unit incorporate cities and townships, instead of counties, is also embodied in the majority report . It provides , that such modification shall preserve the present remonstrance laws and that all territories, already voted dry shall remain so two years from the date of elections. (A minority liquor plank will be submitted). The election of senators by the direct vote of the people is also favored. ; Too Busy to Bs Happy. I have a rich neighbor that Is always so busy that he has no leisure ; to laugh. The whole business of bis life is to get money, more money. He Is still drudging, saying what Solomon says. "The diligent band maketh rich." And it is true Indeed, but be considers not that it is not in the power of richesto make a man happy, for It was - wisely said by a man of great observation that "there be as many miseries beyond riches as on this side of them."

STILL THE CtUTER New Census Will Show Indiana Still the Hub of the United States.

MOVES WEST FEW MILES The center of population of the con tinental United States, which at the time of the first census was twentythree miles east of Baltimore bas been : traveling westward with each decade.: In 1900 it was located near Columbus. " Ind., about forty miles south of Indianapolis. In 1S0O it was twenty-six miles farther east and in the two previous decades it kept rather near to Cincinnati. With each decade It has moved a little farther .west but has continued to keep very close to the thirty-ninth parallel, the latitude approximately, of .Baltimore and Cincin- ' natl. V: '. ! v".:l ' With the development and spread of population in the west the wonder is that the center of population keeps so disproportionately . far to the east of the center area. It now stops at about one-fourth of the. entire distance from coast to coast The present census will doubtless carry it a little farther west and perhaps a little to the south. ? because of the new population in Oklahoma. Other . western states have made large additions to their populatlon, but they have, lost much by migration to Canada and latterly to Mexico. . . It is not l.kely therefore, that tho center of population will move out of - Indiana, or Indeed get very far from its last stopping place. - While the west is growing the east Is not standing stilt The great cities particularly are growing at a rapid rate, which shows no sign of abating. Of , the ' twelve largest cities in the r United States, by the census of J900, eight were east of the Center of population. , The prodigious growth of New York city alone, will almost balance the development and settlement of new area in the west' Therefore while the west booms along at a gait that promises to put everything behind it the center of population insists on staying at each decade, just a few miles further west of its camping ground ten years before, showing that while the whole country Is growing the old east increases In population almost as rapidly as the new west Matrimony Tarts. Matrimonr tart is' the odd nam to
