that the step from the minors to the

Leader for Dozen Tears
I have been managing ball clubs
for the last 12 years. I started out
aa a player, and I bad my fling,
short as it was, in the major leagues,
having played with New York, and
Washington.
But 1 wasn't satisfied to stick in
the game as a player, and when I
got my first offer to manage the
Springfield club in 1906 I felt that
my big chance to make good in base
ball, had come. Ever since that time
I ha'Ve been ambitious to manage a',
major league club to manage a
pennant winner and lead it' into a
world's series. ...
Experience Big Help
My experience In the minors has
been of great value, and I can toy
without ' boasting, that I was suc

and I have never had a team finish
worse than third.

young fellows and directing the play
of a team in the field. I wouldn't

cold cash right now, for it is my
stock in trade.
Gets First Chance
As manager of the St. Louis Car
dinals I am going to get my first
chance to make good in the majors,
and I hope to succeed. It is my be
lief that baseball is played much the
same up here aa it is in the minors,
and the big dlfferenoe Is the differ
ence in the ability of the players,
both physically and mentally.
Getting the rightplayers and get
ting the best there is in them is the
big task of a manager. This I hope
to do in St. Louis, and I am proud
to say that the Cardinals look like a
good ball club to me as they stand
today. I know I could have inherit
ed worse ball clubs than, the one I
have now.
Prospects' Are Good
I'm not going to make any predic
tions for my club this year. I have
always' figured that actions, not
words, count ' most heavily. And I
hope; to get action, and lots of It,
out of my team. I think tha pen
nant race In the National league Is
bound to be interesting and hotly
contested from start to finish. It
will not be a walkaway for any
body. I will say that I believe the Car
dinals are good enough to win a
first division berth, and that some
day we can present St. Louis fans
with a pennant.

Federal Tax Scope on Baseball
t t .
Foul Ball Retrievers Exempted
p.y : , ; . .
Tt federal tax on amusements which Is to be levied on baseball
patrons this season is of wide application. All fans who pay their way and
in this manifer keep the whole pot boiling, are assessed, of course, and so
are, most of those who see sanies, but don't play, the season pass holders.
Those who will be assessed include according to'the official interpretation
of the scope of the tax: ....
Ministers.
Soldiers and sailors.
Stockholders In the club who are not officers or directors.
Players' wives and relatives.
Relativeirand families of club officers.
According to this, club presidents cannot admit their own wives and
relatives without collecting the tax on their passes.
There are, however, some exemptions to the rule, and these include:
Newspaper reporters assigned by their offices to the games.
Telegraph operators on duty In the press box.
Officials of the club, umpires, players, managers, etc.
Orphans admitted tthe game in a body.
Retrievers of foul balls or balls hit outside the park.
Newspaper boys admitted free to the park to sell papers.
Employes' of concessionaires, ushers, groundkeepers, sweepers.

L
the sport at New Orleans, under the aus
pices of the Business Men's Racing as
sociation, became a thing of the past.
followers of the game are centering their
attention on uib nm di''"B iuocuub,
which will last over a period of SO daya
Not' In many years In this country
have racing enthusiasts been required
to abstain from actual participation in
the sport of kings as has been the -case
recently, but it is sare to say tnat the
series to come will be of the continu
ous nature, which will warrant the
scheduling of meetings throughout the
year In one section or another. It Is
stated that every private stable within
a mile of the Oakland track is housing
some string of the horses which are to
take part Jn the race series which opened
last Thursday.
High Cost, the $80,000 horse, was
among those which came off the cars
into Oaklawn last week. 1 This horse
was taken on the track for an airing
the second day after arrival, and the
third day was breesed well down the
stretch.
In the racing seen at Havana one day
recently two of the races were account
ed for by descendants of the one-time
famous Waterboy, son Sf Watercress
Zealandla. First of these was scored
when the atrociously named Miss Jaxbo
(out of Melissa), a 4-year-old, galloped
off with the -mtle claiming affair. The
second victory for one of the .get of
Waterboy was, teen when Jack Frost
won the mile and 20 yards affair from
a fairish field in the good time for the
class of 1 :41. Each was the choice of
the talent.
DEMPSEY WILL

Six Fights and Possibly More
Will Be Work Cut Out
for Him.
Chicago, March ij T S.) Jack
Dempsey is going to be a busy battler
In the next 30 days. He wiU engage In
no less than six fights, and possibly
more. Dempsey and Manager Kearns
came In from Joplln, Mo., where they

the affair called off because Bob was
no match. March 9 Dempsey will show
in Memphis against Jack Dillon. Two
days later will find him battling In Hot

Battling Levi nek y will face him in Mil

the jump to Denver, where on March 18

that. Bob McAllister will be his oppo
nent at Junction City, Kan.. Joplln, Mo.,
has booked Dempsey and Carl Morris
for a return clash, and April t or 10
will see' Dempsey and Billy Miske In
action. This match has hot been closed,
but there Is little hitch. St. Louis and
Milwaukee want It, so Kearns Is hold
ing for the highest bidder.
The string of fights shows that Demp
sey Is passing up no one, not even the
tough Mlske.

YANKS DUE
TO PUT UP
BIG FIGHT
Miller Huggins Believes' He Can
Build a Winner, Pitching
Staff looks Weak.
MEW YORK. March J. L 7?. &.)
Where are the'Hu.cklesa Yankee
going to land this year 5 "V
They are still owned by two of tha
most willing spenders In the big show, '
and they still stand out as a club which
on paper shows a certain amount of
class. But they are hard to figure.
Under BUI Donovan the Yanks flssled. v
They started, looking up from tlma to -time.'
but always threw a shoe at the
psychological moment and their chances
went glimmering. -
Will Be Watched ' "
This year Bin Donovan will have noth
ing to say about their destinies, for .they
are now under the supreme command of
midget Miller Huggins. the little wltard '
who brought the Cardinals out of tha
ruck in one short year once' ha waa
given free rsjln. , . .- .'
So. after all, the hapless Yanks are
going to be watched with a great- deal
of interest, and. unless Huggins' ability
to get the last ounce of work out of a
ball club has been underestimated, tha '
Yanks of 1918 are due to at least make ,
a wonderful fight for a first division ..
berth. .
Everyone to Get Chasee s.
Huggins, of course, will have to get
acquainted with his ball club. 1 Aside
from one or two players ha baa never
seen any of them perform. But that
isn t Worrying him.' He believes he-can
build up a winner, and he believes In -
drastic changes to take tha hoodoo off
chronic loner. He proved this When
he made Ms now famous Trade with the
Browns. He Is no respecter -of persons..
Is Huggins. Every player In the squad
will get a chance, and there isn't much
sense In trying to predict who will' play
the various positions not with Hug In
the saddle, n, .
Pratt Skoald Help .'- V
Derrril Pratt should help make the
Yanks. He was secured to play second ; -base,
and probably will be found there
In April. Pipp, Pecklnpaugh and. Baker,
make up the rest of Hug's "tentative"
Infield. Hug has High, Hendryx, Mar
sans. Miller, Lamar,' Camp and Vide for .
the outfield. Fair looking material,
we'd say. For backstopplng work the
Yanks have Walters, 'Ruel and Hannah,,
the latter a veteran minor leaguer from
Salt Lake. Walters has already made
good, but the others are question marks,
The pitching staff looks weak. Love,
Mogrldge, RusselL Fhawkey. Caldwell '
and Plank are experienced, but Plank
Is practically through. The young pitch
ers are Brady, Knrlght. Monroe, Mc
Graw, Piercy and Thormalen. This Thor '
malen looked .fair -last - fall and -may
come out a winner. Extra infield mate
rial on the Yank roster Is represented
by Zlnn Beck, who is no chicken; Few-.
ster, a rookie second sacker. and Aaron .
Ward,- a shortstop. None of 'em have
set the world afire as yet. : -,' :
But with his seasoned slayers to del
pend on largely Hug may spring som)
surprises. He may coax the- Yankees '
Into a fight for a berth among the first
four. He should finish no worse tHad
fifth. s-. A ,
Boston Bed Sox Let J
Veteran rlayer yut
Heinie Wagner, veteran shortstop. e
the Boston Red Sox, will not play wtttk
the team -this year. The recent aequlste
tlon of Johnny Ever is said to be the
reason for the dropping of Wagner.
President Frasee of the Sox, " believes
that Evers will be able to play as well)
as coach, and that Wagner will not be
needed. .
