Hogan had only four months of professional experience behind him at that -time," - remarked Manager Hoag.

Hi bad a habit,, of tearing off weight In a hurry and very often tried to make weight at extremely short notice. Right ly handled, he can be brought as low as . 130 pounds without any loss of strength. He is a legitimate lightweight and will never have any trouble on the score, of poundage." It may be .that Hogan's next contest will be with Packer McFarland. It may be, again, that he will hook up for the third tints with Knockout. Brown. But these meetings.

As a rule the horses that have made trotting history , on American soil have been those of medium else. Great Eastern was an exception, and so was Mosul, and we have read of ' other equine giants on the trotting turf. But the rule is as stated.: Lady Suffolk, the first trotter to trot as fast as 2:30 or better, was scant 15 hands. Flora Temple, the first trotter to beat 2:20, was about 14.3 hands. Dexter,' the first horse to beat Flora's time, was about 15.2. Sunpl. on the other hand, was nearly, if not quite. It hands, If we re member rightly. Nancy Hanks was scant 15 hands. Arlon'rand Directum, . both champion trotters in their day, were about 15 hands. ' General Watts, the first entire 1-year-old to trot as fast as 2:06, is scant 15 hands. Colorado E., the great est J-year-old trotter ever foaled, prom ises to develop Into a 16-hand horse. Uhlan, king of trotters, is close to 15.2 hands high. Croscous. king of trotting stallions for many years, was close to 16 hands, while the Harvester, who in 1810 siexed the crown that the noble son of Robert McGregor had carried so gallantly for so many years, Is fully 15.3 hands In height Helens Has Nineteen. Manager Irby of the Helena club, has 19 players under contract for the 1812 season. Irby expects a couple of good players from Joe Cohn. Gene Baker, a brother of Del Baker, Is among the list of Inflelders. Del Baker's name also appears on Irby's list, but Joe Cohn stated that he will give Baker another tryout next season, as he was loaned to the Helena club. Iinndgren Would Umpire.

Mike Donlin snd Jimmy Callahan are most prominent among the "comebacks" In baseball, and it can be directly at tributed to the fact that both f these worthies mounted the , water wagon years' ago and have been riding It ever since. ; Just nosr . there are , two play ers In the National league whose repu tation 'for" Inebriety Is such that neither is apt to hold his Job very long. They are Bailee of the St Louis Cardinals and Larry McLean of the Cincinnati Reds. In speaking of this pair the St. Louis Post-Dispatch prints the follow ing! "The cases of Mike Donlin and James J. Callahan ought to tell all that la necessary about the art of coming back. The instances of both are parallel and the theme of both is pf the wayward youth who transferred his affections from the wine when it was red to the water when It was white, and not taken 'on the side.' "Both Callahan and Donlin quit major league baseball careers and left the potent stuff behind. Neither Donlin nor Callahan has for several years de scended from the throne of the sprin ter's driver. As a result, when they wanted to get hack Into harness there were no black physical marks to be rubbed off the slate. A little over weight, which never hurt a clean In terior, was all that incumbered them. So Jimmy and Mike both came back and, evidently, to' stay. 'This means that Harry Bailee and McLean need not give up all hope.". Four Coasters With Athletics. Three coast pitchers and one out fielder will be on the second team of the Philadelphia Athletics when the training ' season opens. Al Bonner, Houck and Glne are the twirlers and Hal Maggart 18 the outfielder. Most Of Mack's recruits will be taken along witn tnis team, wnua the regular team will compose the first Squad. out for $5000 a year. ga , -A i M 'COMEBACKS BUSY YEAR IN SPORTS f j ft ' f Big League Managers Discard Enough Players to Make Good Club. New York, Jan. 20. Vacation time is pretty nearly over for the baseball men. Within a month or thereabouts the club will begin to move to the southern training camps and the war correspondents will be discovering "phenoms" enough to start a new league which would put the old timers In the "has been" class for keeps. And yet one ventures to say that when the championship season begins tn April there will be just about as big a percentage of familiar faces as there ever has been. Some of the "phenoms" will make good, of course. They have to, or the game would die out. but the percentage MANY OVERLOOKED IN TRAINING CAMP CLEARANCE SALE of Hart Sckaffner (k?

' ' ' . ,;' , And yet many of those youngsters who will be turned back will have the making of great ball players. Managers, the best of them, are not gifted with infallible Insight. For . instance, it would be possible to tine up one of th Strongest teams in the country made up entirely from players who have been turned down by one or more major league clubs. Keen eyed scouts and managers not infrequently -overlook a real ball player simply because he hap pens to be going poorly at the time that he was being observed. -Here is a ltst of a few players who were discarded once or twite and are still numoerea among the good ball players of the majors: .. -, Catchers Archer (released by . De troit). Thomas (from the Yanks). Pitchers O'Toole (cut adrift by Cin cinnati and Boston). Ford (turned back by Yanks), Suggs (released by Detroit). Keefa (released by Yanks). First, base Daubert (released by Cleveland). , . .-- Moon, base Neal Ball (released by Tanks). Third base Mowrey (cut adrift by Reds). Outfield Jackson (turned back by Athletics), Cree (turned hack by De troit), Lord (turned back by Phila delphia and Cleveland). DAVY JONES BOOSTS GENE KBAPP'S STOCK Davy Jones, the veteran outfielder of the Detroit Tigers, pays high re spects to Gene Krapp, former Portland pitcher. Davy is quoted ss follows! "I look for this little KUDDer Knapp, the Detroit boy, to prove , one of the stars of the league before long. Krapp crtainly can put a lot of stuff on that ball, and he Is a wonderful fielder and fast on the bases. His trouble right now Is wildness. and if. ever he over comes a tendency to hit everybody who faces him or to pass 'em all, he win be one of the toughest propositions In the country. 'With a good catcher like Livingston down there to coach him' and steady him in the pinches, 'Rubber' ought to acquire control gradually. Probably he will not be able to throw the ball through a six-inch circle every time he tries at first, but there should be a big improvement In his aim." To Go Orer Rule.
