He has good reasons.for having supreme confidence in his own judgment and in the past he has never had caus for regretting mamagerial moves of moment. Outside of one big deal Nt- tle has been heard from Huggins and his doings. He has been out to St. Louis, where he obtained Derr/ll Pratt and Eddie Plank in exchange for five players and they do say he is still diekering for First Baseman Georg Sisler. But the long arm of Hnegins has reached intq Springfield and v terday Paddy O’Connor, Springfield former backstop favorite sent in a signed contract to Business Manager Sparrow of the Yankees. O'Conner is the new coach and backstop veter an for the new Huggins' machine. ie doesn’t say what he is getting for this | coming season’s labor, but i’s a cinch he is being handed a pretty good thing. Otherwise he would hardly he jnduced to leave his business heve. As | O'Connor looks at it, he would be foolish to let an opportunity like this zet by him POLICE STOP BOUT.

Pinehurst, N. C., Feb. 4.—The largest gallery of the season turned out at Pinehurst yesterday ta follow a monkey tournament, and incidentally the sum of $792 to the Red Cross. Twenty-one contributed funds of the players took part in the contest. The field was composed of three teams of seven players each, captained by Willie Wilson, John Peacock and Alex Ross, professionals. One player in each team was provided with a driver; another in each team with a mashie; the third had a brassie, the fourth a putter, and so on. The con- testants played in strict rotation and with the implement provided at the outset. It was a rare sight to see M. B. Johnson, of Cleveland, striving for dis- tance from the tee with the aid of a putter, and Donald Parson, of Youngs- town playing out of a trap with a brassie. The contest was a nine-hole event played on the six-point system, and was won by Willie Wilson’s team with a total of 22 points. Remarkably good golf was displaved considering the conditions and the unanimous and consistent attempt of the gallery to encourage their own team or to rattle opponents, as the case might be. Wilson’s team played the nine holes in 57, Peacack’s in 58, and Ross in 61. The winning team comprised Willie Wilson, driver; L. D. Pierce, Braeburn, mashie; Donald Parson, Youngstown, brassie; J. G. Nicholson, New Bedford, putter; J. H. Turner, Jox Hills, nmiidiron; James Barber, glewood, niblick, and A. C. Nason, clec! The acquisition of Casey Stengel by the Pirates has bolstered up Hugo Bezdek’s outfield to such an extent that it makes it one of the best in the league With Stengel, Max Carey and Lee King guarding the outer defenses, the Pittsburgh club will be more for- midable in this respect than it has been for several years. Carey, of course, is one of the greatest outfield- ers in the game, and King, though a youngster, gives promise of developing into a pretty good plaver. Bill Hinchman, who sustained a broken leg last season, and who was on the shelf most of the time, has re- covered from the injury and may give King a fight for a regular berth in the outfield. pinch hit COTONTALS LOSE AGAIN. This Time is the Middletown Team That Does Trick. Middletown, Feb. 4.—The Middle- town Y. M. C. A., basketball five suc- ceeded in securing a victory over the Hartford Colonials in a speedy game herc Saturday night. The score was 42 to 37. Brilliant playing, with oc- casional lively encounters, follawed by rough playing, marked the game which was a hummer from the start. At the end of the first period the 3. The second half brought out the best the locals could largely through the ef- farts of Oberdick, a neat lead was hung up which was maintained until the final whistle.

John L. was a frequent visitor at his sister’s home and was a warm fa- vorite with the children of the neigh- borhood, whom he called his “pals”. He was fond of entertaining them with stories of his visits to kings ard presidents, and they remembered him vesterday. As his body was carried into the house hundreds of these “pals” stood outside with heads un- covered and with tear filled eyes. Scores of men of note in the sport- ing world telegraphed that they were on their way to Boston to attend the funeral. There will be eight pall- s and 8 honorary bearers.
