" 'G__rifféShy Pitchers for Pra M’BRIDE AND ALTROCK MAY HAVE TO GIVE AID Only Seven Hurlers Available to Serve Them to Batters—Mogridge Comes to Terms. Praise for Goebel. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. AMPA, Fla.,, March 1.—For the first time since he has been leading teams southward—a matter of a score of years—Clark Griffith this spring finds himself shy on pitching material for the all-important business of providing practice for the batters. Griff's clubs usually have been noted for strength on the mound, and there is much basis for the belief that the Nationals of 1921 will be no exception when the curtain is hoisted on the championship season, but for the preliminary work here there is a decided dearth of twirlers. All told, there are eleven hurlers on the roster—by no means a large squad—and of this number four must be eliminated from immediate consideration for the purpose in view. Jerry Conway, the left-handed semi- Pprofessional, for i ance, has shown no inclination to leave the snowbanks and frigid breezes of Holyoke, Mass. for the balr phyrs of Florida, and Kirk Outfielder Miller Has Reported to Pittsburgh Bing Miller, the Little Rock outficlder whom Mamager Grif-- fith claims ax h.s property, haw reported to the Pittsburgh Pi- ratex and ha< gone to_Hot Springx, a dispatch states.

He was singled out by McBride for a Jog_around the half-mile traock, and Nicholas Altrock accompanied him, figuring it would improve his wind, although, considering the high aver- age your Uncle Nick maintains in the conversational leagye it never would be suspected he was deficient in this respect. Mogridge Gets in Lime. Acceptance of ‘terms by George Mogridge has eased to no small ex- tent President Griffith’s mind regard- ing the prospects for his pitching staff. Mogridge originally sought $1,000 more than he was paid by the Yankees last year, and cited the fact that with them he could figure on a whack of the world series prize money, which is divided among the teams finishing one, two, three in each league. Griff was not impressed with this argument, and it was o after the hurler had pared his ";Q-, mands 'way down that an agreement was reached. Mogridge wired Griff last evening from his home in Rochester, N. Y. of his change of heart, and is ex- pected to get here within the next iwo or three days. Mogridge has a fine turn of speed, a good assortment of hooks and exceptional control for e lefthander. All he lacks to make him a big winner is a change of pace. Much of his time here he will be re- §:!|lred to spend in developing a slow DALLAS, Tex., March 1—] Tris Speaker, three catchers and ten pitchers of the Cleveland Indians be- gan spring traiping here today.

HOLYOKE, Mass, March 1.—John Henry, former catcher of the Wash- ington American League nine and later of the Boston Braves, and last year base ball coach at Cornell Uni- versity, is critically ill at a hospital here following an attempt at suicide yesterday. In a fit of despondency Henry took mercuric bichloride, “Buddies” to Greet Gowdy. GALVESTON, Tex, March 1— Having played ball almost continu- ously since last season in the Florida Winter League, which disbanded only @ fow weeks ago. Deeby Foss is mak. ing the other members of the base ball squad resemble truck horses on a comparison of speed. Foss has such a natural knack for hitting that he is expected eventually to land high up. He has a rifle-shot throwing arm, and is better than a fair fielder. except on bunts. He gets the balls he comes in for all right, but has a tendency to throw wild after gobbling the short ones Tucker is having a fine time with the straight-as-a-string offerings of McBride and Altrock, whaling the ball to the distant stretches of right fleld. He gets all of his 190 pounds behind the ball with a swing of the most approved form, but how wel) he will be able to connect when the flingers start dishing up hooks re- mains to be seen.

At a meeting held Sun- day the arbiters clocted James ¥. Hughes president and W, Richard ‘Woodward secretary-treasurer of the organization. The association plans to register all local -umpires, so that a list of available ones can be given to any desiring officials. By this {means,” it is hoped, the catoh-as catch-can system' now in_ vorue. for o!.;t:lt‘lnlng umpires will be done away with.

F RANK BAKER, the former home-run king, whom Manager Griffith of the Nationals has been trying to obtain from the .\'e\\: York Yankees, has not definitely made up his mind whether he will play ball this season or not. He has promised Col. Huston, part owner of the Yankees, that he will give him a decision within the next two days. Baker made known his position in a phone-conversation. He was reached at his home in Trappe, Md, and declared that there were some matters relating to his business affairs there that had not bee ciently adjusted to make it certain that he ‘would be in harness this “It looks as if I would play with the Yankees. if I %et back in the game,” said Baker. “I would be glad to play in Washington, but the pres- ent outlook is that Griff and Huggins will not be able to get together on a deal. RBut if I make up my mind to play, I am willing to wear either a ‘Washington or New York uniform. “My children probably will remain in Trappe, and as far as getting home suffi- is concerned, I could make the trip as frequently from New York as from ‘Washington.” He sald he would not go to the Yankees' camp at Shreveport, La., until March 10 or 12, if he finally de- cided to pilay. Baker paid a_ compliment to the Washington club, and said he felt sure that it would be in the fight for the American League flag. CARPENTIER’S DENIAL SCORCHES THE CABLES BY FAIRPLAY. N miles of cold green ocean water. EW YORK, March 1.—From Descamps, Georges (farptnl_jcr'a man- ager, was received today by a prominent sportsman, a cable which probably would have burned any wires not lying under miles and The message came in reply to one sent from this city inquiring as to the truth of the report that Carpen- tier had agreed to meet some opponent—not named—in Berlin, in March. Georges has not agreed to box in between, says Descamps, and nothing would tempt him to box there; not even for a million dollars would the French champion display his skill for the entertainment of the boches. Any one who started the report is further invited to say it to Carpentier's face. Then see what would happen to him. Voila! Beautiful Boxers. Johnny O'Donnell, the St. Paul lightweight, is in the hospital of his bome ‘town recuperating from an operatoin to correct cauliffower ears. Not only will the pperation cost him money, but he will lose additional coin through the loss of several bouts for which he had signed. No prize fighter wants tin ears or other dis- figuring marks these days. In.the old days a fighter accepted such things as sort of a badge of his calling. Bat Nelson displayed his marks as proudly as a French soldier displays his war-won decorations. Tom Sharkey’'s ears were models of busted beauty. But times have changed. When Jack Dempsey was threatened with a caulifiower ear, as & résult of the sock that Bill Brennan administered, he hurried forthwith to a surgeon and had himself fixed up. Sehang Is Necessary. When the Hugmen were en route south Wallle Schang met the train at a station on the way, shook hands all around, and then let the train go on without him. That's the kind of a holdout Wallie is. Schang’s stand is not well taken, since he signed a con- tract with the Red Sox and the Yanks took over the contract in good falth. Yet it would look as though he would get his terms, for, {f the Yanks don't et him, who have they got. No one, but Fred Hoffman. Guess Huggins was too quick about letting Muddy L GEN AR BT Bantam Champion Is Extended to Shade Young Montreal in Ten Rounds. DETROIT, March 1.—Joe Lynch, bantamweight champion, and Young Montreal of Providence fought ten lively rounds last night. The showing on points was about equal until the eighth round, when Lynch put his opponent down for a count of eight, thereby winning a shade. Montreal had little trouble reach- ing the champion with his left jabs and his defense was effective until Lynch floored him. Thereafter the champion had things his own way. Montreal weighed 118 and Lynch was a half-poynd lighter. Tendler Outpoints Friedman. MILWAUKEE, Wis, Lew Tendler, .

ATLANTA, March 1.—Georgia and Kentucky will meet here tonight in the final of the 1921 basket ball tour- nament of the Southern Intercol- legiate Athletic Association. r- Iast night: Kentucky defeated Mis- sissippi A. and M., 28 to 11, and Qeorgia wonfrom Georgia Tech, 26 to 21. Georgia’s game with Tech marked the first athletic contest between teams of the two institutions, since they severed relations two years ago and was brought about by the tour- namert drawings. It attracted a crowd of 5000, the first real at- tendance of the ‘tourney. Both student bodies with bands added to the din as the teams contended, but the only outbreaks were those ot rival cheer leaders. Georgia took the lecd and at the end of the first half the score stood 11 to §. Both teams were missing many goals as well as foul goals, but were fighting hard. Georgia made nine fleld goals and Tech five, the remainder of the points coming on goals from foul. Fulton Enocks Out Carison, FREEPORT, N.
