Pipp came direct from his home, in Grand Rapids, Mich,, and Aragon from his farm in Cuba. ‘The other regulars, with the ex- ception of Roger Peckinpaugh, short- stop and captain of the team, are due here today. It will be a week or more before Peckinpaugh putsin his | appearance at the training camp, as | his father is soon to umdergo an operation at a hospital in Cleveland. Both Pipp and Aragon looked in | fine physical conditon, and will need little training to get into shape. In fact, Aragon has been playing ball all winter in Cuba, and right now could start the season, The little foreigner brought the news that a )| number of ‘big leaguers invaded his United States. country this winter, and the compe- tition between the Americans and na- tives was both lively and keen. According to Aragon, Earl Hamil- ton, of the Browns, is likely to quit the national pastime. Hamlilton's sal- ary has been cut from $5,000 to $2,- 000. The left handed pitcher is cred- ited with kaying that he would rather retire than stand for the big cut in his contract. 5 It contifues to rain here, and the grounds are in such bad condition that Donovan will not be able to get any real practice for a couple of days. Major Dorey, General Wood's aid at Governor’s Island, has wired Captain Huston that the recruiting officers at Macon and Augusta have been in- structed to start drilling the Amer- ican League players immediately. ‘Therefore, the Yankees will receive their initial lesson in military pre- paredness-today. ] All of the other American League teams have been or will be taken care of by recruiting officers. The Wash- [} Aigggcalit s | Hartford Team With Ol Time Stars in Lincup, May Meet Local on Y. M. C. A. Gym Court. Arranzements are being discussed at the Y. M. C. A. for a basketball game between the pick of the Satur- day Night league and the Delphis of Hartford, on a date which has not been determined on. Such a contest will no doubt, bring out a large crowd of fans. Two old time stars will be seen in action, Warren Slater, physical director at the Y. M. C. A, and Harry Schofield of Hartford. Fans of olden days still remember the battles ensuing when these cracks clashed. Jack Curry formerly of the G. team of Manchester, is also a member of the Delphis, and he. will i be accorded an ovation on his ap- ] pearance here, where he was consid- ered a clean clever player. 8till another big game is in the works, a battle with the crack Mid- dletown team, which will be staged on March 17, in that city. The Mid- ington club is training at Augusta. ' dletown team is one of the fastest ag- « STILL AFTER DARCY Fans Join With Governor “in ' De- nouncing Man Who Failed to Do His Military Duty. New York, March §5.—Evidences multipiled yesterday that the action of Governor Whitman in preventing Les Darcy boxing in New York state Wwould be followed by the authorities of other states, and that the Aus- tralian would be barred from boxing throughout America. Darcy had been engaged by a Bos- ton promoter to box a six round ex- hibition with a sparring partner next Week, but this -has been peremptorily cancelled, and indications point Strongly to the probability that the Wiscpnsin offi:cials will take the same course. As Darcy has an offer of $50,000 to box Mike Gibbons in | Milwaukee and another offer of $15,- 000 to meet Jeff Smith in that city the cancellation of the proposals will practically shut the door to the Aus- tralian making any money in this country through the medium of his abllity as a boxer. Prior to leaving for Washington Governor Whitman expressed the opinion that his action in preventing Les Darcy -boxing at Madison Square Garden tonight would meet the ap- proval of patriotic citizens, “My position in the matter is un- alterable,” said the governor. “I gave considerable study to the matter, and I belleve every right minded and pa- triotic citizen will back me up.” Expression of opinion by numbers of prominent citizens was in the na- ture of hearty approval of the action of the governor, it being held in com- mon with the executive that America could not at this time, when threat- cned with war, afford to lionize a man who failed to do his military duty with a country that in the event of hostilittes would be an ally of the 1’/’ Y, 7 2,7 v . / SH.

Comiskey belipves that Gandil will improve in batting and that his recognized skill as a first baseman will greatly strongthen the infield of the White Sox. Gandil was purchased from the Montreal club by the Washingtons several years ago for $12,000. He played some great ball for Clark Griffith, but the latter soured on Gandil in 19% and finally disposed of him to the Clevelands, Griff wanted to make room for Joe Judge of the Buffalo club, but the latter couldn’t hit a lick last year, which made it appear that the sale of ; Gandil to Lee Fohl was a serious blunder. The Clevelands intend to play Guisto, the Coast league star, in Gandil’s place this year. Gusto is said to be Gandil's equal as a fielder, but his batting skill against American | league pitchers is an unsolved prob- {lem. Photo shows Chick Gandil l batting. HERZOG 1S MISSING FRON GANTS CAWP ‘Al Hands on Deck Bxcepting Fiery Keystone Guardian Marlin, March 5.—The Giants’ baseball squad is now .complete, ex- cept for Charley Hersog, the flery little seccnd baseman. Nine players, all veterans of last year's team, ar- rived yesterday, making a total of forty-five men attending the McGraw training school. Those who reached Marlin in time for dinner last night included Mr. and Mrs. George Burns, Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Sallee. Davey Robertson, Heinie Zimmerman, Bill Rariden, Poll Per- ritt, Arthar Fletcher George Ander- son and Mr. and Mrs. George Gibson. Herzog, who has been spending the winter in Florida, is expected to ar- rive here Tuesday. The weather has at last turn for the better. winding up its mad escapade by a miniature snow ! storm Saturday n:ght. The sun got in its worlk vesterday morning, how- cver; and clear and warmer 1is the prediction of the prophets for the rest of the month. McGraw is extremely anxwus for the prediction to come true, as hix plans have heer sadly dis- arranged during the last few days. The Giants spent the Sabbath ac- cording to their various moods, most of them sttending church in the morning and taking a long walk in the aftermoon. -The negro trio con- | tributed thelr bit to keep the ball tossers in good epirits. i taken a SPORTDOM SPARKLERS ‘Wilson, for many years one of the Pirates outfielders, and_ later with the 8t.

Barry in command, embarked Satur- | day for Hot Springs, Ark. Jack Ness the former Pacific Coast sensation, has been turned over to the | Columbus team of the American asso- clation. He, however, is kicking over the salary reduction and threatens to quit the game. Owner Comiskey of the White Sox announced Saturday that *Big Ed” ‘Walsh will not be taken along on the’ spring training trip, but has received permission to effect a deal, whereby he can join some other team. Samuel Williston a freshman in the University of Chicago established a new record for underwater swimming Saturday night at the Bartlett gym- nasium, Chicago, with a distance of 324 feet. Dr. Roller and Wiadek Zbyszko have been matched to wrestle to a finish next Friday evening in the Foot Guard hall, Hartford. Cornell with four first places to her credit, won the third indoor meet of the Intercollegiate Association of Am- ateur Athletes held in Philadelphia, Saturday Sight. ' Yale and Pennsyl- vania were next in line with two wins each. Ted Meredith won the gradu- ate relay championship showing some of his old time form. Two new records were established during the indoor meet of New Eng- land indoor track and field events in Boston, Saturday evening. Henry F. Mahoney romped home a winner of the 1,000 yard-run, in 2 minutes, 19 4-5 seconds. J. W. Ryan another B. A. A representative, covered the two- mile run in 9 minutes, 40 4-5 seconds. ‘With the return of the faculty coach, J. Duncan Spaeth, to Princeton today, the Tiger oarsmen are due to put in their last stretch of winter work on the machines. While . Dr. Spaeth has been on a lecture tour through the west for the past three weeks, his assistant, Rigger John Fitz- patrick, has had charge &f the Tiger varsity candidates. Some fifty men have been out for the freshman boat. ‘With the receipt of a signed con- tract from James E. McAuley, short- stop, the number of Pittsbursh Na- | tional hold-outs was yesterday re- ! duced to five. Those who have not yet : gigned contracts are Willlam Fischer | and Walter Schmidt, catchers; Max Carey and Douglas Baird ,outflelders and Honus Wagner, infielder. Unléss the Princeton track man- agement changes its decision Harvard and the Tiger short distance relay teams will not meet at the Meadow Brook Field club games in Philadel- phia next Saturday. Princeton recently vanquished the hitherto undefeated Harvard four and Captain Teschner and his cohorts have been eager for revenge ever since. The Meadow Brook club is willing to stage the race and Harvard is willing. but the Nassau management cannot quite see the benefits of another race with the Crimson. Before leaving his home in Parkers- burg, W. Va, for Cincinnati yester- day, Richard C. Hoblitzell, Boston Red Sox first baseman, said that he had not decided to sign a 1917 con- tract yet, and that he did not know whether he would sign a contract at all Hoblitzell was one of the officers of the Players’ Fraternity. He is holding out for more money. The question of an International league franchise for Syracuse has been discussed at a conference recent- ly between John H. Farrell, president of the New York State league;‘ Ed- ward G. Barrow, president of the In- ternational league, and Charles Chap- in of the Rochester club of that league. ¥ Farrell, it became known today, agreed to release the Syracuse terri- tory to the International league in 1918. Barrow promised to transfer the franchise either of Montreal or Providence to Syracuse in that vear it proper support were assured in Sy- racuse. Basketball and hockey team cap- terday. Cadet William R. Gerhardt of West Virginia has been chosen to ilead the Army basketball team next season. Gerhardt has played forward on the Army five during the past two seasons. He is a member of the class of 1918. The hockey squad, which disband- ed last week, elected Cadet Edwin J. House of Syracuse captain for next year. House has played rover on the Army seven for three seasons. Of eleven games played this season the Cadets won seven Military activities at Harvard have | practically broken up unorganized athletics, since the officials connected with the training unit insist that any other sport that causes noise be done away wih in the gymnasium every af- ternoon of the week save Saturday.
