NEW YORK, Jan, 2D.—The Braves.
The rough-and-ready, cocky, confident
Braves—will remain a factor in Na
tional league baseball battles until
George Stallings steps clear out of the
way. The trail of bleeding hearts and
broken hopes they left in the path ot
their brilliant dash to a world’s cham
pionship in 1914 is something that
cannot be forgotten in ba ie'tall.
No matter how weak the Braves
may look at the start of a.iy seasonj
always something will have to be said
of this club’s potentiality.
The Braves will not start this season J
with a bad baseball club. Wise swap- !
ping of ball players, and careful appli
: cation of improved Stallings methods
to young ball players makes this club
(among those present, if not consid
ered as a pennant winner.
The Braves were left sadly battered
when Hank Gowdy and Walter Maran
ville joined the nation's colors. And
when young Schreiber followed in
their footsteps it looked an even I
deeper hue, for he was touted as one
of the best youngsters in the minors.1
Gowdy’s place has been admirably
filled by the acquisition of Art W'ilson
from the Cubs. Wilson is fully as good
a catcher as the famous hero of the
1914 world’s series. He is not so good
a hitter as of yore, but he still is ca
pable of compiling better than a .250
average. The trade that sent Charley
Herzog to the Braves completely takes
care of the hole left by Maranville’s
departure. Herzog is much the same
sort of a ball player as the departed
star, but he will give more weight to
the Braves' infield, simply through his
experience, lie may hit for an aver
age as large as Maranville’s and he
may not.
For the rest of his infield Stallings
will have Ed Konetchy, Rawlings and
Red Smith. Konetchy and Smith are
the hitters of the inner works. The
infield is well-balanced.
The outfield this year is a better one
than the trio with which Stallings fin
ished last fall. Rehg, Powell, Kelly,
VVickland, Massey and Bailey are a
sweet bunch to pick from. Indications1
are that Rehg, Powell, Kelly and Wick
land will be the regulars.
Stallings weakened his pitching staff
some in, trading to bolster the, of
the machine, but he still has intact a
great hurling corps. Hughes, Nehf and
Rudolph would look good attached to
any National league staff. In addition!
he has Ragan and Allen as expert-'
enced reserves, and Crum and Scott
as the youthful members.
The team lines up stronger than
last summer. There is more compact
ness, a look of harmonious ball play-;
ing. The team should finish better
than it did last fail.

Cincinnati as a Contender
NEW YORK, Feb. 2.—The Cincin
nati Reds and the Cincinnati fans are,
in the throes of a winter campaign for
the National league pennant.
Cincinnati never saw a world’s se-j
ries. A8 a matter of fact. Cincinnati I
has only come close to the top of the,
heap since baseball began to send hus
bands home to their dinners late and
break up domestic bliss with its argu
ments. Cincinnati has found itself
possessed of the batting champion of
the National league, a shrewd manager
and a'fine ball park. So Cincinnati
has It all figured out that the Reds are
a dark entry.
Cincinnati does possess a splendid
baseball club, and, blessed with a man
ager of wholesome ideas and horse!
sense, is going to make trouble in the!
first division. As a new' club, it must1
be pointed out that the start of the;
season will have a great deal to do j
with where the Reds finish.
As matters now stand, Cincinnati!
! may suffer a very heavy blow, for it!
looks very much as if Fred Toney I
would have to spend a year or two ex
plaining w’hy he claimed exemption |
from the draft. If he kicks off the
enthralling loops of the rope which
seems to have entangled him, stock
of the Reds will soar, for the huge
right-hander is one of the best pitch
ers in the business.
Some idea of the strength of the
Heds may be gathered from the neat
ness with which they executed the
Cleveland club last fall in a post-sea
son series for the championship of
Ohio. Most of that strength holds over.
There is no reason why the Reds
shouldn’t begin right where they left
off.
Manager Mathewson figured he
would have an improved infield to be
gin w'ith in 1918, through the acquisi
tion of Morris Rath, but that youth
proved to be attached more strongly
to whipping the kaiser, and he joined
(he colors, Russell Blackburne, twice
sent back to the minors as a failure,
has been obtained, and may take thej
second-basing job ofT the hands of'
Dave Shean.
Built in the infield are the immov
able visages of Hal Chase. Heinie Groh
and Chortstop Kopf. They're good
enough for any ball club. Outfielders
there are worse than the trio com-'
posed of Sherwood Magee. Tommy
Griffiths. Karle Neale and Eddie
Rousch.
The catching staff is excellent, with
Toni Clarke and Ivy Wingo to bear
the brunt. The pitching staff, pro
vided it retains Fred Toney, Mike Re
gan. Pete Schneider and Hod Eller,
looks well in comparison with other
staffs. Mathewson believes in Gerner
and Bressler he has picked up two
brilliant youngsters, Gerner comes
from the International league strongly
recommended. Bressler has been up
before, his first time with the Ath
letics. Connie Mack picked him from
the college diamonds, but decided he’
couldn’t be moulded into a major]
league flinger.
The Reds should not finish lower
than they did a year ago. With their
tremendous batting strength and with
the cockiness that goes with their suc
cess they are bound to make a strong
finish. That they will win a pennant,
however, does seem to be stretching it
slightly just at this period.
Decision Fights Will Aid Sport
NEW YORK, Feb. 2.—New York
state still yearns for a law that will
legalize ltoxing and really make it a
decent spot. Some law that will give
the sport a standing in the largest
community in the country is being1
eagerly sought.
Assemblyman Marty McCue, a for
mer squared circle inhabitant, is one
of the strongest supporters for a bill
and he has framed another for pres
entation to the legislature.
Back in the days of the Frawlev
law, when some of the greatest fightsj
in the history of the game were pulled
off under the ten-round no-decision'
farce law had been spread on the
books, there was too much chance for!
petty graft. There also was too much
< nance tor stalling mixers to mane me
unpleasant for the suffering public.1
The law died a natural death. Any
new bill that passes and is expected
to have a life of more than just a few
short months must combine other fea
tures. And that is the goal for which
legislators are striving.
Whether or not the law will have a J
decision feature can’t he predicted. It j
hasn’t that embodied in it as it now
stands, blit there are certain members j
of the New York state legislature who
believe allowing decisions would make
the game cleaner and insure a depar-|
ture from the old complaining days.
It used to be that a champion could
stun for a no-decision bout, condition
himself for a long period of footwork,
and then bend his efforts in the ring
solely toward saving himself from pun
ishment. So long as a decision could
not he rendered against him it was
certain he could not lose his title, even
though clearly defeated. Freddie Welsh
was outpointed in New York ringsj
time after time, but it did him no
harm so far as his championship stand
ing was concerned.

CHOCOLATE BAR DAYS
AT OREGON COLLEGE
‘Vhocolate bn'- days,” when contri
butions are taken to buy chocolate
bars for the Oregon boys in the serv
ice, is the latest plan of college girls
at the Oregon state agricultural col
lege. Women of the home economics
department of this school are also>
supplying boxes of food to the college
boys who have gone, at a remarkably
small price. They have sent 200 boxes
filled with war cake, fruit, nuts, con-!
lections, popcorn balls, oatmeal cook
ies and salted peanuts to t.ue Oregon
men at the cost of 20 cents a box.
The candies were all made of sugar
substitutes, such as honey and corn
syrup.
A card index of the 1,000 University!
of Washington men now in the army
and navy is being compiled by girls
at the University of Washington in Se
attle, so that the former students may
be supplied with the college daily pa
per. This file of college boys in serv
ice is in working order at many of
the colleges. Promotions, changes of
addresses from camp to camp, etc.,
are noted in order that weekly letters,
in addition to personal mail, will be ‘
sure to reach them.

The government says that there is

SHELDON OPERATING
HIS NEW AUTO SLEE
Robert Sheldon, the king of ante
men, who was never blocked on the
trail, has started from Fairbanks for
f'hitlna on a trial trip with his new
auto sled For two months Bob has
been working on this auto sled, and
he thinks he has perfected one that
will make traveling between Fairbanks
and the coast during the winter
months a very simple matter.
This auto sled is Sheldon’s bug. and
is fixed on runners driven by a drive
wheel from behind, which grips the
snow. This sled draws several trailer
double-enders, on which the passengers
and freight are carried.
