OLD AND NEW
BALLPLAYERS
WW
McAieer Says Present Stars
Are Pampered Too Much,
OLD TIMERS WERE DIFFERENT
Took Little Care of Themselves, but
Were Always on Job Eleven Players
' Were Enough, While Twenty-five
Today Are None Too Many.
. By TOMMY CLARK.
Since Jimmy McAieer, the former
manager of the Washingtons and now
president of the Boston American
league club, came out with the state
ment that the big league clubs of to
day carry too many ball players and
that they are pampered too much the
question has been mueh discussed.
McAieer in his statement tells of the
time be was playing under Pat Te
beau in a Cleveland uniform. The
team had only eleven men on its roster
and was in the fight for the pennant
every moment of the time. Today he
says that a team has to have twenty
players on its roll to be in the fight
for a moment and then they have to
use pitchers in the outfield or outfield
ers in the infield some of the time.
He lays this to the fact that the
' men are pampered too much; that
they have ceased to be ball players
they are athletes. In the old days the
players hardly took care of themselves.
Today they keep themselves in the
best of condition, have about half the
work to do, but the manager is lucky
if he can put his full playing strength
In the field for a week's stretch.
This may be true, but baseball today
has reached a far greater degree of
perfection than in the days McAieer
speaks of. They get more pay than
the old timers, but the club owners
make many times as much as the old
owners did. So they can afford to pay.
As for taking care of themselves, the
ball players of today make the game a
life's profession or try to. The dia
mond stars of today include some men
who have a college degree. They do
not follow the profession they studied
for because they can earn more in the
diamond game. They want to stay in
the game as long as possible. While
they do not love the sport any less
than the old timers, a business thought
also enters into the game. The club
owners make fortunes by their efforts,
. why should the players not get the
; good of it? " And the managers are
willing to pay.
So as long as both parties are satis
fled the players will continue to take
care of themselves and the owners to
pamper them.
DEMAREST AFTER HOPPE.
Chicago Billiardist Anxious
For a
Chance at 18.1 Title.
Calvin Demarest, the youthful Chi
cago billiardist and "double" of Cham
pion Willie Hoppe. has announced that
CALVIN DEMAREST.
he will challenge the title holder tfjr
the 18.1 balk line supremacy.
Demarest is considered one of the
best billiardists that ever handled a
cue. Although he was defeated by
Hoppe last season, experts declare he
has improved to such an extent that
the champion will have to . be at bis
best to hold his title.
Hank O'Day's Wit Is Peculiar.
Manager O'Day of the Cincinnati Na
tionals is a peculiar man. It isn't of
, ten that be says anything which can
be interpreted as funay. Last summer,
however, be was discussing Griffith,
and finally he said: "By golly, I'm get
ting tired. - The next time he opens bis
face I'll grab him by the tongue and
ttaow him over the grand stand."
German Swimmer Feared In Olympic
The recent work of C. Bretting of
Magdeburg. Germany's best all around
swimmer, makes him a formidable con
tender for international honors at the
water carnival to be held in connec
tion with the Olympic games of next
summer In Sweden.
