SPORTS. ?j;riffith Still Hopes 'WILL GIVE ONLY CASH “FOR MARYLAND CLOUTER Former “Home-Run King” Also Must Agree ng "in Advance to Play Here—Ideal Train : Conditions Prevail in Tampa. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. T AMPA, Fla, February 28—Frank Baker today continued as the chief topic of conversation in the camp of the Nationals. From the time early yesterday morning that the Washington delegation ar_ri\-ed at Tacksonville and read in the Sunday papers the dispatch from Cincin- nati to the effect that Manager Huggins of the Yankees had accepted an offér of $30000 from Clark Griffith for the release of the former home- st king little clse has been talked about.

La., February 28.— A positive denial that Frank Baker 1 had beem sold to Washington for $30,- {000, as announced in a dispatch from |Cincinnati, has been madeb y Manager Huggins. The little pilot admitted that there had been conferences in regard to the transfer of Baker to Washington, but he intimated that it would not be in the form of a sale if any deal is made. Huggins plans to play Baker at @ sfrictly cash basis. and will be con- tingent upon Baker agreeing to play with Washington. Information from the capital last nigit was to the effect that Baker, who was communicated with in Bal- tlmore, had no_knowledge of his re- pérted sale. There is little doubt Baker would welcome the opportunity to play with the Nationals, provided hig_salary terms were met. and it is assured he would be satisfied in this respect.

February 28.—That Frank Baker is fully expected to play with the Yankees this year was stated by Col. T. L. Huston, half owner of the club, and Business Manager Bar- row, in branding as untrue the story sent out from Cincinnati quoting Manager Miller Huggins as saying the Marviand clouter had been sold to_tfte Nationals for $30.000. “Col. Huston met Baker Saturday night as the former was returning to this city from Dover Hall, Ga.” said Barrow. “They discussed the matter of Baker's plaving this season at some length and Col. Huston has informed me that it was practically definitely the Iotter arrival of Olaf Erickson, Outfielder Goebel, Eschm: a short- stop, and Infielder Deeby Foss, who { spent the winter here.

When the home team went to bat in the Jast half of the fifth the score stood to 1 in favor of the visitors. The first two men went out. Rain was threat- ening to break any minute. The next man walked. This was followed by three successive singles, two runs going over the plate, making the score 5 (o 3, with runners on second and third. The next batter tripled, scoring both runs, making the score 5 to 5, and still a runner on third. Rain had been falling hard while the last two batters were up. and as the runner who had _tripjed reached third there was a_ downpour. The umpire was forced to call the game and was unable to continue it. What was the final score? Was it a legal ball game? Legal Game, Score a Tie. The final score of the game was 5 to 5. It goes in the records as a legal game. Until the change in the rule made in 1919 it_would not have been a legal game. The rule covering the situation now says that if the side last at bat shall, before the completion of the fifth inning, equal the score made by the opposing team in five complete innings, then the game shall be de- clared as legally drawn.

There was a bandstand erected over where the _ pitchers’ box should be and the grass he ook such a pride in last spring had been completely obliterated by the trampling of thousands of feet. It was a hopeless task for one man to “attempt to repair the damage done, even under the direction of so ca- pable a supervisor as Fred Harvey- cutter, so the energetic Miguel got by with the officials of the city, which owns the fair grounds and the acres surrounding it.

February 28.— The vanguard of the New York Americans. under the direction of Manager Miller Huggins and Scout Robert Connery, started training here today. The squad included fourteen recruits. Arrival of most the regulars is expected within a few days. Babe Ruth is due Saturday. Six of the veterans, Huggins said, have not sent their signed contracts to headquarters. They are “Rip” Collins, Bob Shawkey, Wallie Schang, Roger Peckinpaugh, Wallie Pipp and Jack Quinn. Pitchers Mails May Make It code for the season of 1921 Puzsled an to Kick-Off. There still is, in spite of explana- tions that have been given, a distinct misunderstanding on the kick-off rules. Dozens of letters come during the season complaining that ‘“the op- ponents kicked the ball off and then, although no defender of the goal touched it. the kicking side came down and secured the pigskin behind the line and that the official allowed a touchdown.” In this the official is absolutely right and the rules have so stated for years. It is also believed in some places that when a punter, standing back of his line of scrimmage, kicks the ball, and there is a man behind him, that although that ball be kicked directly across the opponents’ goal, the man who stood in the rear of the punter may run up and get the ball. How- ever, the moment a punt crosses the goal line it becomes a touchback. Another point that never has been satistactorily settled is the infliction of penalties for fouls occurring while the ball is dead. For instance, Sev- cral letters have come in to this effect: The man makes a touchdown and is thrown behind the goal line. He turns around and hits the tackler, the foul occurring after the scrim- mage is ended. Now. the question the committee must. settle is whether the touchdown should be taken away and half the distance to the goal line given and the player disqualified. Other Tmportant Questiona. A considerable number of questions arose last season as to the rulings relating to “roughing” a man who has made a forward pass and ill4gal interference, including what is com- monly known as “clipping.” As to suggestions for new rules or direct changes in the present code, there is a feeling that the game is now so well understood by all sec- tions of the country that anything |like radical legislation would be a | serious mistake. and Walker Easy for Tribe BY FAIRPLAY.

He was not used in the American League sea- son until Speaker tried him out against the Cincinnati Reds in an ex- hibition game. The Reds got one hit in the four innings that Walker worked. After that Tris used him in several regular league games and the youngster showed well. Rickard to Pick Fight Spot. From Tex Rickard's sick room came ja tip today that the date of the Dempsey-Carpentier fight would be named tomorrow, as per agreement. The day will be July 2. It was also agreed that the place should be named, and in tomorrow’s outgiving some spot will be noted, such, for in- stance, as the American continent, or South America, or some comprehen- sive stretch of land. In this way, it is | believed Rickard will avold putting himself definitely on record. There is no doubt, however, that Rickard intends to hold the fight somewhere next July. Probably it will be in some outdoor arena, since he sald the other day that he expected an attendance of 100,000 persons. In the meantime Dempsey is going abroad for some exhibition bouts, and Carpentier is also going to show him- self throughout Europe. Both - had much better be fighting. (Copyright, 1921.) GIANTS ASSEMBLE FROM NINE STATES AND CUBA NEW YORK, February 28.—Mem- bers of the New York Nationals’ 1931 8quad wers en route today from nine different states and Cuba to their spring_training grounds at San An- tonio, Tex.

Other members of the squad started from their homes in various parts of the country and will go di- rect to the training camp. It was reported that Goldie Rapp, the infielder purchased from St. Paul of the American Association, now is considered a certainty for the third- base job, and that Frisch would be detafled ‘to the second sack, with which he is more familiar. Jess Burkett, once the king of bats- men, was on the special train in charge of the recruits. Among them was his son Howard, an infield pros- pect.
