Every time he comes to bat—to the tee, that is—he ‘seeme to be murmuring a| prayer. “Oh, if I can only get hold of this !" mutters Babe. Then he wraps the club around himeelf, twists his body until the red stripes in his shirt run around him ly like the stripes on a barber's pole, andgunwraps himself again ® spring uncoiling. There is a sharp “crack.” The ball whistles away the tee, higher and higher and farther and farther, until it is a mere. in the distance. There's something funny about Babe's drives.

Fletcher Makes His 1920 Debut (Bpecial to The Evening World.) SAN ANTONIO, Tex., March 12.— John McGraw’s Army of players are rapidly rounding into shape, and to- day, after less than two weeks of aining, mostly under a warm Texas sun, thfere is not a sore arm or lew among the regular members of the team. Col. Snover and Sid Ross, the two young southpaws, have been bothered with lame wings, and they have done very little since the train- ing season started. Arthur Fletcher, the veteran short stop and captain of the Giants, played five innings against the Rookies yes- acted as a stimulant for the other regulars. Although Fletcher only ar- rived here on Monday, he performed brilliantly in the field, and on the offensive aided the regulars in their victory over the Little Fellows by hammering out a two-bagger and a single. —>— Wheat and Myers Sign Contracts (Gporial to The Evening World.) JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March 13.— Zack Wheat and Hy Myers signed their Brooklyn contracts yesterday. Then they went out to the ball yard and hit the old apple for a couple of safe blows apiece. Hy put it over his roomie by driving five runners across the plate, while Zack accounted for only two. Johnston and Beyers kicked in with three hits apiece in the slaughter’ of the Yannigan pitch- ers, the regulars winning by 9 to 2. Mitchell and Hood furnished the fielding sensations with a couple of one-handed stabs, Hood robbing My- |} ers of what would have been the first homer of the season. Zack Taylor is in uniform for the first time in three or four days. He is still weak on his pins after his tussle with tonsillitis Mahlon Myers, a kid brother of Hy, has signed to play third base for the Augusta Club of the South Atlantic League.
