Puts Nationals on Equal Basis With Browns. Sees White Sox as Contenders. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. view of the outlook for the American AMPA, Fla., March 22—An open race, with anything liable to hap- pen. Th the pre-season v League held by a critic who has just completed a month’s tour of the training camps of both major Robert W. Maxwell, sporting editor circuits. The expert in gquestion is of the Philadelphia Evening Ledger, in his day at Swarthmore one of the most formidable linesmen foot ball ever produced now regarded as among the half a dozen best gridiron officials in the country and who has s issued a standing challenge for a match at golf on a winner-take-all basis with any man who will make his poundage, which he admits was 340 t ‘Bob, or Tiny as he is best known, expounded his views while eating Juncheons with Glenn Warner and Clark Griffith as the guest of the lat- ter at the Tampa Bay Hotel yesterday. For obvious reasons—the other being that he has seen the squads of all sixteen major league clubs in action this spring—his opinion must be con- sidered weighty. While stowing away huge quantities of food, which he said his undernourished condition re- quired, as the old fox of the diamond and the wizard of the gridiron looked on with ill-concealed admiration, Maxwell gave his host ponderous im- pressions gleaned from his jaunt across the continent to California and back again. with stop-overs at various points in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama and Fiorida. Indians the Favorites. Having practically the same team which copped the world championship last year. Tris Speaker, Maxwell be- lieves, must be considered to have something of an edge on the other contenders, and he is not unmindful of the great “paper strength” of the Yankees, but asserts that as far as the other six entries are concerned a good way to prognosticate how they will finish would be to draw their names from a hat. While the Indians command respect, Maxwell cites the fact that repeaters have been scarce in base ball of recent years, and he opines that New York's chief draw- back is the presence of too many stars. He figures Washington to have an equal chance with the Browns, and doesn’t particularly fancy the outlook for the Tigers under Cobb, regarding Ty's theories on training as too rad- ical. He agrees that Connie Mack should be able to emerge from last Pplace, and. contrary to general opin- ion. thinks the Red Sox cannot be held in light esteem. His most startling conviction i that the White Sox may prove real con- tenders in the flag hunt, asserting that Comiskey by liberal expenditure he last time he visited a coal yard. salary wing s in good shape, however, and judged by the rate he is progress- ing he should be able to pitch a ball game within a couple of weeks. President Griffith has arranged with Joe Tinker, who is to run the Orlando ciub this year, to send his second team there to play the Florida State Leaguers next Monday and Tuesday, while his regulars are exhibiting at Daytona and St. Augustine. Shaw and Johnson have been nominated to do the pitching and Picinich the catch- ing, with Altrock making the trip in case it is considered inadvisable to send Walter. ‘The rookies will line up this way: Marhefka, second base: Lamotte, shortstop: Shanks, left field: Brower, first base; Miller, right field; Foss, third base: Goebel, center fleld, and the battery.

Pleks Pirates in Natiomal. “The race in the National League ‘will not prove nearly so complicated an affair as that in the junior cir- cuit, in the opinion of Maxwell. He says Evers should present a pretty fair team in the Cubs, and that the Reds have corraled some -look- ing youngsters, but that the Pirates are the class of the circuit and should land at the top of the heap. He looks for Brooklyn to furnish the most stubborn contention because of its great pitching staff, but is not much impressed with the chances of the Giants” believing that Shortstop Ban- croft is in such poor physical condi- tion that he will be of little use to them. Of the Cardinals and Braves he hail little to say, but ventured the opinion that the Phillies would finish | “about August.” the famous foot Glenn Warner, ball mentor. who attained national prominence through the achievements of the elevens representing the Car- lisle Indian School, discontinued by the government since the outbreak of the war, and who in recent years has maintained his great reputation as a developer of gridiron machines at| the University of Pittsburgh. denied Maxwell's charge that he spends the winter months at S8t Petersburg scouting for linemen and drop kickers. Pop constantly practices what he preaches to his varsity candidates each fall, to “follow the ball,” but in this section it is a white ball and all his chasing is confined to_the links. ‘Warner voiced the opinion that the rules committee acted wisely in leav- ing the gridiron code practically un- changed and said he expected this year to be the biggest yet for the game. He was reluctant to discuss the outlook at Pitt, -but said he ex- pected to have a fair eleven. That means some team, for the Warner average is high. The Little Rock recruits—Miller and Brottem—have impressed President Grif- fith, as they did Manager McBride, as good-looking base ball timber. Miller is a burly chap who moves about in the outtield with surprising speed, consider- ing his size. At bat he has lived up 1o his advance notices, clouting the ball in practice to the distance stretches of the garden. Brottem is a dcparture from the type of catcher recently in vogue with the Nationals. Unlike Gharrity and Picinich he is tall and rangy. with a huge frame. which means he will be a big man when he fills out. He is full of ginger and his pegs are both strong and accurate. Acquisition of Brottem may mean that Torres will be sent elsewhere. The Cuban is a good buil pen artist, but has no pep. Waker Johnson has developed @ crick in his neck which is quite pain- ful and interferes with his work. His Sport Mart—Twe Stores The Game Worth While!

Baker, president of the Phila- delphia Nationals, issued a statement in which he said: “The latter part of last November Mr. Heydler, while in Chicago, re- celved some very important informa- tion in regard to Eugene Paulette, which later he verified and gave to me. T wired Paulette to meet me in St. Louis early in December, which he did, and I secured a statement from him. The matter was of so serious a nature that I submitted all the information that I had in the case to Judge Lamdis. “Paulette is under contract with the Philadelphia club for 1921. and requested that he be permitted to go to the training camp at Gainesville, which was denied by me.” Reviere Looks Good to Cards. ORANGE, Tex. March 22.—Arthur Reviere, a right-handed r from the University of Texas, is looming up as a. strongpossibility for a berth with the St Louis Nationals.

Ainsmith Reaches Tigers’ Camp. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., March 22.— Eddie Ainsmith, veteran catcher, is the latest arrival at the Detroit Amer- icang’ training camp. Ainsmith will need little conditioning, though, for he has been working out in California since his return from the orient, where he caught for an ethllon[ squad. Manager Cobb is now considering the Tigers roster for the champion- ship season. Cobb is reluctant to re- { lease some of his promising recruits, and it is believed he will retain at least twenty-four men, which is three more than were carried in previous years. Brummitt of Indnm Delayed. DALLAS, Tex, March 22.—Hobe Brummitt, catcher, will not report to the Clevs, d Imdians for the present.

BAD LIES PIE T0 HIM Kirkwood, Australian Golfer, Who Will Play Here, Makes Ball Do Stunts. CHICAGO, March 22.—An ambidex- trous professional golfer from Aus- tralia, Joseph H. Kirkwood. expects to compete in the national open tour- nament at Columbia Country Club, Washington. when he returns from England and France, where he will endeavor to wrest laurels at the open championships. He gave an exhibi- tion of trick shots on one of the courses here yesterday. Kirkwood, who is open champion of Australia, represents the River- dale Golf Club of Victoria. While just twenty-four years of age, he won the Australian championship with 250 strokes over a 6400-yard course. Among the trick shots was one which might be called the boomerang. He puts =0 much back spin on a full mashie shot that the ball rises high in the air so perpendiculariy that he is able 1o catch it without moving. In another stunt he drives a ball from beneath a man’s foot, and with equal facility picks one from the toe of 2 shoe. Although the stymie has been abol- ished in America, he showed it would have been all the same to him, for one of his amusements is to place a ball near the lip of the cup, range ten balls at varying distances behind it and loft them in Succession over the stymie into the hole He will compete at Pinehurst in the north and south open championship. CAPTAIN OF MICHIGAN ADMITS PRO PLAYING ANN ARBOR, Mich., March 22.— Vernon Parks, captain of the Michigan nine,- and considered one of the best pitchers in the “big ten,” admitted he has played professional base ball in the Pacific Coast League, and has resigned trom the team.

The runner who advanced from first to second was in an excellent position to . ‘whether the short fly was mun: He evidently thought th fleuder had made a fair ‘although the umpire thought otherwise. After touching second he started back to first, which was his position in the field, believing the flelder had made a legal catch and retired the side. The team at bat finally made the player realize the umpire had ruled the ball had been rapped. He rushed back to second. Thé felder in the meantime had thrown to the second baseman, who first stood on the bag and then touched the runner out a8 he slid into second. Did the run count? The team in the fleld claimed the play at second resolved itself into a force third out on which a run cannot score. Run Counts; Not a Foree-Out. The run counted. The third out at second base was not a force-out, as the team in the fleld contended. Ihe rufi- ner having once touched became nu occupant of that base, eliminating y chance for a force. He left the $aZe at his peril after becoming the oc- cupant of that bag. About forty men have been training for track about two wecks but it is not likely that a very strong squad will be developed.
