March 8.—Harry Hooper, outflelder of the Boston American League club, may not join the Chicago White Sox, to whom he | was traded last week in exchange for John Collins and Liebold, he told friends here during a visit from his ranch near Marysville. Hooper was quoted as saying that he had ex- pected to return to the Red Sox, but that he had not been consulted as to the White Sox deal, and therefore would demand a larger salary from the Chicago club. Hooper also was said to have declared he would re- main out of baseball unless he was entirely satisfied with his arrange- ments with the Chicago Americans. RUTH POUNDS BALL Bambino Knocks Horsehide Over Fence Eight Times at Shreveport— Other Yankees Also Bat Hard. Shreveport, La., March S.—Babe Ruth, full panoplied, jumped into the | swing of the Yankees' training yes- terday and put in an active and varied | day with as much ardor as if he had | been here from the start. The lame | heel he brought with him from Hot | Springs had him limping a little, but he says that the effects of that in- jury will be all gone in two or three days, and he romped about yesterday as if they already were gone. Ruth put on a big show yesterday morning. He headed the Huggins’ cast. Local fans perched themselves all over the front railing of the grand stand, watching Ruth's every move and interfering with the view of those behind.

Shows Up Well in Practice San Antonio, Texas, March S.—For the first time since they started work here there was a note of genuine buoy- ancy in the camp of the Giants yester- day. They had been going along Lke a | youngster whistling his way through a ’ graveyard in the dark, but with the ar- rival of Davy Bancroft, Earl Smith and Joe Rapp, and Rapp's splendid showing ! at third base, faces became brighter } and real laughter rang through the ball park. John Mc waste any w did not permit Rapp to time in preliminaries. He cruit in action as soon as possible and somewhat to Rapp's surprise he was ordered to cover third base for the reg ulars, or Tortillas, in the first intra- club game. Frank Frisch was shifted to second base and in the absence of Bancroft, who still is a bit under the weather, Herb Hunter took care of the | short field. Judging from the way Rapp bchaved in the six inning tussle he will open the league season on third ba with Frisch back at the mid-w. tion in which he relieved Larry when he made his debut with the New Yorks. A short practice test is not cal- I culated to give relifble line on any } player, but Rapp handled himself like a of undoubtedly high calibre. He proved a sure man on bad bounders and took them on either side. Everything which usually is said about a good looking rookie is said about this young addition from St. Paul. That he has what is known as a “‘noodle”” may be inferred from the fact that he had been holding out for a share of the $15,000 which St. Paul got for his release. CENTRE BEATS HARVARD.

C. exhi- bition at Hartford. Sweeney was subjected to a bad lacing before Marty Brombe tossed the sponge into the ring, ending an uninterest- ing battle. The work of Sweeney was a disappointment to his friends. Bill never looked sc bad in the ring as he did last night. He seemed to be overcome with fright, and al- though he was given his hardest lacing in clinches, he seemed insistent in battling his more experienced op- ponént in that manner. In only ene round did Sweene; have a chance. ond stanza, when he smashed Reimer squarely on the jaw with a terrific right hander. The bell was wel- comed by Reimer. After that iime until the sponge rolled on the canvas Bobby applied plenty of punches to all parts of Sweeney's body. The Star Bout. The star bout brought Shugrue of Waterbury and Rector of Jersey City, together. Shugrue was heavier than he has looked at any time in the past. It was announced that his poundage totaled 1363% while Rector moved the scales at 134%. The Jersey City boy refused to claim the forfeit, which made him popular with the fans. While the crowd did not go wild with enthusiasm over the bout, it was an interesting affair. Shu- grue is improving steadily, and his sharpshooting smashes several times rocked Rector. The latter showed he is a great ring general, by the manner in which he would trouble when he was clouted. Shu- grue’'s cleaner punches earned him a decision.

Kansas City, March 8.—The yards of St. Joseph decisively de- feated the Brooklyn College club quintet of New York, in the opening game of the national amateur basket- ball championship tournament in Convention Hall last night. The Hillyards won from their eastern rivals 36 to 17, taking the lead at the start. At the end of the first half the St. Joseph boys were leading 22 to 9, and they continued at about the same pace in the second half, scoring 14 points. Hill- | Harvard has abandoned its proposed Southern trip. The other lacal matches are with the University of Virginia on May 7 and the University of Pitts- burgh on May 21. The Naval Academy will almost certainly have a team in the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania relay games and these is a reasonable chance that it may meet .the Military Academy on May 28 the date of the baseball game between the two schools.
