YANKS AT MAGON First Arrivals Spend Time Golfing—Main Delega- tion Expected to Land Tonight. Macon, Ga., Feb. 26;—The Sunday preceding the Monday on which the training of the New York Americar league baseball players will be begun found four members of the Yankee squad on hand. Pitcher #hawkey, and Outfielder Hendryx were golfing all day, and while they were thus engaged Ben Shaw, a recruit pitcher ,and Sam Ross, a pitcher who was here with the Yanks last spring, arrived. Shaw caught for the local club last year. He is young and large and ambitious. He is rarely endowed as to physique, and at college played football. There- fore, he is prepared to take bumps behind the plate. { Ross is a slender six-footer ,who in pitching equipment was promising last spring and was turned over to the Richmond team of the Interna- tional league. He did well there until appendicitis sapped his strength, but since he was discharged from the hospital he has grown heavier. Tim Hendryx is eager for any military drilling that may be ordered. - He is right at home with a gun, he says, as he formerly was a member of the Florida National Guard. Three more Yankees flitted into Macon last evening, all battery men, bringing the total now enrolled at the camp up to seven. The last ar- rivals were Urban Shocker, Slim Love and Walter Alexander.

M. C. A. . Billy Kopf is making preparations to leave for Shreveport, La., to begin training with the Reds for the com- ing season. Sport writers are having their type- writers cleaned and their pencils sharpened, in preparation for the ‘coming busy months between March { and November. Charlie Miller is Wagner of locai basketball, still manages to drop ’em in the basket with regularity. A quiet player, not spectacular, but always striving to give the fans the best he possesses, Charlie is a credit to the game. The Nutmegs of the Y. M. C. A. are coming along at a fast clip, and with their present form continuing, bid fair to make the leaders hustle for the championship. Much of the suc- cess of the quintet is due to Solomon and Siegrist the clever guards. The Y. M. T. A. & B. society pool team was defeated in Meriden Satur- day evening, by an eleven point mar- gin, The timekeepers bowling team is in the lead in the Stanley Works league, with five victories and one defeat. The Ramblers basketball team will play the Plainvijle Young Men’s club in that town Thursday evening. Yale's new $100,000 athletic club- house, which will be provided by the gift of Henry G. Lapham, of Brook- line, Mass., Yale, '97, will be begun at once. The Yale athletic committee states that the clubhouse is erected in.pursuance with its policy to pro- vide increased playground and ath- letic facilities for the use of Yale un- dergraduates, and not to merely’ pro- vide a clubhouse for use in connection with the Yale bowl. Lawton Witt, of Winchendon, Mass. who performed so sensationally last season for Connie Mack, will soon be- come a member of the Chicago White Sox, if President Comiskey has his way. Commy wants the American league pennant, wants it very badlly, and spent a barrel during last two seasons to win It. James Sheckard, former star out- fielder with the Chicago Nationals, who will assist Fred Mitchell, man- ager of the club, during the coming season, will be in charge of the sec- ond team on the California training trip. Forty games will be played by team No. 2, starting at Santa Anna, Mach 2. Jack Kerns, the globe-trotting manager of pugilists, is the last in- dividual to rise“up and declare him- self the manager of Les Darcy, the Australian middleweight and heavy- weight champion. According to a statement made last night by Kerns, he met Darcy in Aus- tralia two years ago and signed a three years’ contract with the boxer, this contract being approved by Dar- cy’s parents and lawyer. E. T. O'Siil- livan who has heen posing as the guardian of Les’ fistic fortunes in this country, has no claim of any kind on the Australian, according to Kerns who says he is ready to start man- aging Darcy from now on. T. Coward of Yale, now rules a fa- vorite for the state squash champion- ship after working his way into the finals by defeating Ziegler Sargent of this city, and Cooley of Hartford, in yesterday’s upper half play at the New Haven Lawn club. Coward was in splendid form and disposed of his opponents with ridiculous ease ,beat- ing Sargent, 15-8, 15-6, and Cooley, 15-4, 15-8. The play in the semi- i finals, lower half, resulted in victor- \ies for B. Thomas of Yale. and R. Abbott, of Bridgeport. They will play off their match here on Wednesday night. The tournament will come to a close next Sunday. Coach Jim Ten Eyck of the Syra- cuse crews has come out in favor of a race for 145:-pound crews in the in- tercollegiate regatta on the Hudson. This was" fizst broached by Coach Wright of Pennsylvania, and his ideas Ten Eyck. who be- lieves that siuch a race would pfove of great interest. ’ President James T. Collins of the New Haven baseball club,” yesterday announced that he has released Sec- ond Baseman Phil Clouinard. Chou- inard failéd to come up to the re- quired standard last season. His place will probably be filled by Irwin, re- cently procured from the Baltimore club of the International league. Collins has forwarded contracts to his players and expects to have them all signed by the first of next month. Archie Rogers of Poughkeepsie, in winning the annual 26-mile skating marathon at Cohees yesterday af- ternoon, broke all world’s records from the twentieth mile. His time for 26 miles was one hour, 256 min- utes, 22 second, supplanting the marlk established by John C. Katlsen, at Minneapolis, Minn., Feb. 6, 1916. Rogers’ fastest miles was the 24th, which he covered in 2 minutes, 52 seconds flat. The signed contract of Sherwood R. Magee, outfielder of the Boston Nationals, was released Saturday. Re- duced from $6,000 a year, a salary which he has enjoyed for three sea- sons, to $4,200, his pay for the com- ing season, Magee had announced that he could make more money in business. Fred Allen, a pitcher, sent in his signed contract, which also calls for lower figures. Walter Maranville, the club’s shortstop, is still a hold- out. J A close meet with Yale, and Har- vard leading the other entries Is ex- pected next Saturday night when the New England wrestling association holds its second annual tournament. Seven colleges have entered teams in the meet, including Harvard, Yale, Technology, Brown, Tufts, Bates and Springfield, Y. M. C. A. all of whom have strong teams, with several in- dividual stars in the various events. Syracuse swimmers are hard at work under Coach Smith preparing for the annual meet with Rutgers, which will be held at Syracuse on the evening of March 2. Although ma- terial for the team is good, the coach is seeking more men for the long- distance events. Ray Young has shown up espedially well in the plunge for distance ,having cleared better than 64 feet in recent trials. Irish Patsy Cline, the Harlem light- weight, easily defeated Phil Bloom, a Brooklynite, Saturday night in the main bout of ten rounds at the Cler- mont Sporting club in New York. Cline’s cleverness and aggressiveness were far too much for his opponent. Penn state's,fleld coagh for next season’s football team' will ‘e Xen C, Scott, formerly of Western Reserve University and of Case school, Cleve- land. In filling the vacancy the alum- ni advisory committee sought a man to work with resident Coach Dick Harlow. Speedy Rush, Princeton's coach, suggested Scott. Heavyweights featured the card Saturday night at the Fairmont A. C. in New York, in which BRob Devere, of Kansas City, knocked out Lagry Williams, of Bridgeport, in the fifth round. Just before the K. O. Devere floored Williams for a count of nine, and when he arose followed it up with a short right to the body that sent Williams to his knees. He fell over on his side and rolled over on his back for the count. QUINTETS IN TIE Yale and Princeton on Even Terms in Race for First Place in Inter collegiate League.

In the only other game played lasl week Pennsylvania trounced Cornell and gave evidence of having shaken off thesslump which gripped the five a fortnight ago.

Aithough the Ithacans will not win the team honors ‘they have at least the consolation of leading in the race for individual scoring laurels with Ortner.” The newly elected captain of the Cornell five has tallied a total of 107 points and bids fair to establish a new league record.

ROBBY SIGNS CONTRACT Giants Star Pasture Guardian Gets in 2 Line—Vanguard Swelters in Torrid Heat at Marlin. New York, Feb. 26.—The roster of the Giants is now complete. The last recalcitrant, Davey Robertson, af- fixed his entirely legible and perfect- ly good signature to a contract late Saturday night just as the wee, sma’ hours began to succeed the large and exuberant ones. There had been nothing in particular preventing Davy from joining the early rush to sign Mr. Hempstead's little docu- ment, save a feeling on the star field- er's part that it was a bit more dig- nified to saunter in just before the curtain rose on that pretty drama, “A Trip to Texas.” John B. Toster, sccretary of the local National league club, will chap- eron Robertson and Ileinie Zim, the rear guard of the team, on their jour- ney southward, which will begin Fri- day. At St. Louis the trio will be joined by ten more of the twenty-six straight brigade, and then the end of the on-to-Marlin movement will be in sight. Marlin, Texas, Feb. 26.—The Giants who left St. Louis Saturday night arrived here in time for a late din- ner last night, and are prepared 1o start active training this morning under the direction of Catcher Lew McCarty, who will be in charge until Manager McGraw arrives. There were fifteen players in the party of forty people brought in last night by Secretary Brannick. Six others came direct from thelr home: Jim Thorpe rrivals. The Giants so far as enjoying weather which would be a mid-summer brand in New York. Yesterday they werc actually uncomfortable as they rode over the dusty plains in a tempera- ture close to eighty. Manager Mec- Graw is expected here Tuesday. SATURDAY GAMES EQUALLY DIVIDED Western Clubs Have Plums in Sunday Exhibitions . * New York, Feb, 26.—A study of the major league baseball schedules for the coming season shows that twenty- five saturdays have been allotted about evenly between the Eastern and Western 'clubs of both organizatioms. The Western teams, of course, have a monopoly of the Sunday home ,games, playing from two to three times the number of contests that the Pastern clubs compete in while abroad. In holidays the plums are well dis- tributed, all the teams securing these special dates either for their home diamonds or while traveling. ‘The dis- tribution of Saturdays, Sundays an( holidays both at home and abroad in the National leagues is shown in the following table: National League.
