He should know as he is the one who keeps the ball out of the cage. Badel figures that his team is as strong on the defense as the Seeders and that there is not so much difference In the attacking power of his forwards. "Lose no more games in this cHy league." is the slogan being put forth
by the followers of the Seeders who
have the championship practically cinched. A heated argument will result when the Quigleys take on the Greeks in the first game of the evening. The . Quigleys are determined to break into the win column again and would just as soon win from the Greeks as any team. There is no doubt that all teams are showing improvement as the seaBon goes on, the Quigleys having perhaps shown the most progress. This game starts promptly at 7:30 o'clock.

"NO TRAINING BEFORE MARCH 1" EVADED BY BASEBALL PLAYERS Advance Guard of Ball Tossers Begin to Go to Southern Camp Menke Tells How Managers Evade Training Rule 1915 Season Opens Shortly.

BY FRANK G. MENKE. Sporting Editor of The International Newsservice.
NEW YORK, Feb. 11. It seems just a day or two since we heard the echo of Hank Gowdy's fourbag smash in that world's series battle, yet here we are right on the eve, as one might say, of the 1915 baseball season. A week or ten days more and the advance guard of players in the
American, National
and Federal league will be trekking southward for the purpose of working sundry kinks out of their systems. The main squads will be well along on their way before March 1, in most cases. What's that? The "no-training-be-fore-March-1" rule? Sure, there is such a rule. But rules, like eggs are made to be broken. Laws, like automobiles can be dogged. And that's what the organized baseball ''folks are going to do, too. The "no-training-before-March-l" rule was adopted by the magnates last winter, when they were all excited about that economy stuff. They were in a
Frank G. Menke.
mood at that time, where they would have hiked off a couple of their legs If some one had told them such an action would result in economy. This rule was adopted by the magnates as a means of saving training camp bills. Managers Howl. , ' The magnates thought by adopting the rule they had accomplished a needed reform. But the managers didn't. They howled. Most of the managers said that March 1 wasn't early enough to begin training. Furthermore, some one argued that if the American and National league club didn't go into training until after March 1 it would give the Feds a chance to grab a lot of early publicity by sending their teams south during February. Then the magnates took a tumble to themselves and word was passed along the line that "rules is rules; dont let rules stand in your way too much."
There is nothing in the wording of the new rule, as we interpret It, that bars a manager from sending his bat
tery men to some place south of Mason and Dixon line two weeks or so before March 1, just so long as he doesn't send the men to the regular camp. Because there is no rule against this, it is a fairly safe wager that some of the pitchers and catchers will be working out in the south Quite some time before March 1.

By correcting the weakness in team work and with an even break in luck, Jt Is believed that Earlham will be ble to defeat State Normal Friday hlght at the Coliseum. Coach Whiteside put the men through a rigid workout last evening. This will be the last game of the Reason for Logan, the speedy Quaker forward, who has been forced to retire on account of grades. The rest Yf the lineup will be the same as that lsed against Franklin the first part )f the week. The Quakers have won Jut two games this season and are Jnxlous for the opportunity to retrieve the hard defeat of last Tuesday, when Ihey were nosed out by a two-point margin.

Coffey arrived in America from Ire- j
land a little over four years ago. He was a green and raw-boned youngster, 20 years old, and with a very vague idea of how he was to earn his salt. He landed in Boston, but soon moved to New York, where in the spring of 1911 he got a job on the front end of a Broadway trolley car. Jumbo Wells at the new Polo A. A. took an interest in Coffey and tried to show him a little about the boxing game. A little later he was booked for his first fight, glad of a chance to try his luck, and many flocked to see the fun when

it was learned that a "wild Irishman" was on the bill. Nick Muller was Coffey's first opponent, and Coffey went into the battle with no science to help him, hut a great deal of zeal. The house cheered their heads off when, at one point, with a horrible swing, he knocked down both his opponent and the referee. Since that time Coffey has greatly improved his boxing. Mike Gibbons and Packey McFarland have shown him a lot, and he studies the fine points with care.

BATTERY LOOKS GOOD
Brubaker Expects Strong
Quaker Team. Ray Brubaker, coach of the Earl
ham baseball team, predicts that Earlham will be blessed with an unusual amount of excellent battery material, after watching the men perform for three nights. No strenuous work has been attempted, but as a Judge of fu
ture lights Bru puts forth the assertion
that If the rest of the team shows as well as the battery he will have no cause to worry. '
The application of Roy Peck to um
pire games has not been acted upon, but Brubaker Is strong for the arbitrator, and considers his application
the strongest that has been received to date.
