That this will be true in baaeball particularly is the prediction of many man high op in tbs game, and It baa been pointed oat by followers of box ing that the Instruction being: given the soldiers in all of Uncle Samuel's : training camps will develop thousands of devotees of the manly art who have never before been interested. ; Will Gala Popularity Husky Youngster, Who Had Trial With BeayerSj U Now Catcher on Chicago National Staff; Football, which has been growing by leap end boiinds withia the past five - years, may not fain many active par ticipants through the formation of training camp elevens, but It will cer . talnly gain in popularity. The pathway to success for present day baaeball in the United States was opened wide, with the close of the , Civil - war. . Hundreds of soldiers re turned from, the battlefields on which, the blue and gray armies fought thejr many great conflicts, hardened through the rigors of service in the open and demanding some form of sport compe tition, .or, at ' least, recreation, upon which to center their interest and in which those who brought youth back with them could find active exercise. Hat Shown Development From the ending of the Civil war to the present day baseball has been gain ing in popularity. It has suffered sev eral : rude shocks owing to Internal strife, but as an attraction which gained . v and held public interest it has developed , wonderfully. " With thousands of Uncle Sam's sol dier boys equipped with baseball, box ing and football paraphernalia, while In the service, thousands of young bloods coming on who will demand red blooded recreations and pastimes on a larger . seals than ever before and the coun try at large weary of death dealing , conflicts and grateful for the chance to relax, sports should thrive on a " greater scale than ever. . Sports Will Bf Boosted " - Sports will be encouraged In every way possible by the government, too. President Wilson, Secretary of War Baker and many of our lawmakers at Washington have openly expressed the opinion mat neaitn giving sports should be encouraged and continued throughout the length and breadth of the land, even . in war times. . , And when war ceases to be the wprld's greatest game, as It Is today, the gov ernment will turn its attention toward the building of a sturdier and healthier race of Americans. It isn't that Arner- , leans are not stalwart and red blooded : today. A big per cent of them are, but the percentage can and should be in- . creased and sports outjof doors seems to be the answer. Card Star Covered A Lot of Territory If. fielding figures told the absolute truth, the baseball manager would not have to casti a lamp on a promising re cruit. Ail he would need to do would - V be to glimpse the fielding figures and . get the answer. The same goes for batting, but batting is somewhat differ ent than fielding, at that, and anywky, we were about to discuss the fielding of a certain player. The player in question is none other than the well known Roger Horns by, shortstop de luxe of the St. Louis Cards. Mr. Hornsby made more errors tnaa any other -National league short ... stop, except Billy Kopf of the Reds. during 1917. Yet Hornsby is rated as - the greatest shortstopper in the western-! - -.nan or tbe National, if not the great est J n the entire circuit. ' The- secret of Homsby'a greatness, therefore, cannot be found in the figures. - if you judge him, by the error column But If you judge him fairly you will lamp the number of chances be accept " cd and you'll get a different answer. , - The great shortstop goes after every chance, no matter how hard it la. Many or these he accepts ana tn many cases he Is charged with an' error on balls that-other players would never touch. That's the kind of a shortstop Hornsby la. And figures don't show it by a long . - , snot. . - Edward F. ("Ned") Fgan, known 7 as the. "King of the. Bush Leaguers." who won eight pennants in the bunch grass leagues in 15 years, mentions two for mer Portland players In a series of ar ticles entitled "Twenty Years Among the Bush Leagues. . They are - Earl Marriott, a young inflelder from Hum boldt county, who had a trial with the Beavers at Vlsalla in 11S, and Teddy Corbett, who pitched for Portland in the coast leaguen f"407. -Falter at Third Base Tt often happens that a baseball play er finds a place for himself by the mer est accident, writes Egan. : "I have sev eral cases of this, but about the oddest I ever saw was that of Marriott, a catcher now with the Cubs.

"In mr opinion. remarked the kid. rsoently, "Benny U the greatest of all lightweights because hs combines speed with punching power, without losing his punch.- Abe AtteU Example ' "Abe Attell, In his young Frisco days. as a rreat puncher, you lr remember. He could hit like a young pUediiverr and in his early days none of his opponents ever stayed the limit with him. Then, when Abe won bis place in the spouigni and left home to meet the -classiest men In his division, he had to resort to speeq to heap away from their punches, and was soon rated with other great marvels of cleverness, such as Gana. Grlffo and Driscoll. but he lost the old-time win ning punch. This was because Abe sac rificed everything else for speed along the hits and-get-away line. "With Leonard it is different. Hs la fast as chain lightning. As fast, in my opinion, as any of the old-tiros visards ever were, and he can hit harder, much! harder. This Is why I believe bs ranks as the greatest of them all. and I think you'll admit there Is something to the argument." Can Feist aad Hit , Leonard is truly a marvel of spaed. He can feint and hit so quickly that the average lightweight he meets IS aasuea to the point where he loses all thought of his defensive tactics. Benny shifts with squal celerity, too, and although his light hand is considered ins most ei-i fectlve, his left is a good one to Veep awar from. Leonard Is suU winning aamirers wherever hs roes. He Is still knocking put opponents whenever he can and he recently told a friend that when he reaches the point where hs can no longer put over the good old sleep pro ducing wallop ho will be ready to step aside for the next man In Una The little Mew Yorksr doesh't have an op ponent for a return match.
