Feb. 22.—The Yankee pitehers who are here getting into shape for the fast-approaching baseball season will get a tryout to-day, when Scoat Kelley will have them use their salary wings for the first time.

Feb, 22.—A sq ‘of the young Giant twirlers are due to arrive here to-day, accompanied by Dick Kinsella, tho famous scout. These men will just loaf around, doing a little pre- liminary training until the regular training period starts, one week from to-day. So far Rube Schauer, who came direct from his home town | im North Dakota, is the only company enjoyed by Groundkeeper Henry Fabian. The’ Giants will have two fields this season, a practice field for two squads, which is somethicg new and progressive in spring training. The old park just a few blocks from the hotel has been made usable. Before Plans Exhibition With McVey or Jim Johnson Before Start- ing. for Juarez—May Char- ter Vessel to Take Him to} Tampico. HAVANA, Feb. 22.—Jack Johnson, the heavyweight champion, accom- panied by his wife, secretary, spar- ring partner and a servant, arrived here early this morning from Cien- fue; He appeared in good condi- tion and declared he never felt better. Johnson said his only anxiety now was to reach Juarez, Mexico, in time | for his match with Jess Willard on} March 6. He was much annoyed at; hearing of the present chaotic condi- tions in Mexico, especially the dim- culties which probably would’ con- front him in going north from Tam- pico, Johnson declared, however, that he was determined to push ahead in spite of all obstacles, and if no regular Johnson in Havana; May Battle in Cuba Willard Match steamer was available for the trip he would charter a vessel to take him to Tampico, No plans had been made for his appearance in Havana, Johnson said, bug he would confer with George M. Bradt, who holds the Cuban Govern- ment concession for boxing matches in the Havana Stadium, and might give an exhibition bout with Sam MeVey or Jim Johnson, The heavyweight champion reached Cienfuegos on the four-master schooner Henry F. Krager, which he chartered to take him from Bar- bados, The passage, which was rough, took ten days, Johnson's appearance in Havana adds to the mystery of his move- ments during the past two weeks. A few days ago he was reported to have landed in Tampico, where he bad an understanding with the Carranza forces, It was reported on Friday Gen.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 23—It reported here that the anno’ that Homerun King Baker has reti from baseball for the farm is nothi: ¥ but a ruse, preliminary to his sale the Yankees. This is the player, it said, that President Johnson of the American League promised to accure for the new owners of the Yankees. Baker has only yeen getting $4, a year from the Athletics, when play ers like Speaker and Collins, who are not very much more valuable to the clubs that employ them, receive ange s much as he does, A well informed baseball man heré, announcing that ‘Baker would be sold to the Yankees, declared that cual? Mack was afraid that if the pubif{t heard of Baker's outright sale to New York they would not patronize the local club, particularly in view the recent sale of Eddié Collins to the White Sox and the release of Pitcher Bender and Plank. The story of Baker's reported re) tirement, he says, is just a bluff permit of a chance for the New Yorks to come forward with a big enough offer to afford all parties conceried @ good alibi for the consummation of the deal.

C. on the Bowery. . For the first two rounds Mantel made a good showing as he swapped Punches with Dillon and shook him up with heavy swings to the head. After that Dillon got’ busy, and by _ carrying the fighting to Mantell he landed frequently and effectively, which entitled him.to the honors. The results of the other star bouta at other clubs on Saturday ,night follow: At Fairmont A.
