SAIN ANTONIO, Tex, March 11— Ty Cobb defied the New York Giants yesterday, flung down che gage of battle and let it be known the Tigers could easily whip “any team around here,” but without result. There won't be any series with Detroit. The wounds left by the 1917 series ap- parently haven't yet healed on the New York side, for the Giant man- agement sticks to the contention that no games have been scheduled and have announced that the National Leaguers will meet the San Antonio team Saturday and Sunday. Ty made some pretty bitter re- marks. He didn’t name the Giants, but everybody in San Antonio knew what was meant when he said: “Our entire pitching staff ie not as yet in condition, but we have four pitchers who will have little trouble with any opposition we could contract in these parts. Maybe they are not yet quite conditioned enough to successfully wade into an American League argu- ment, but they can well take care of any of the teams tentatively sched- uled for our spring practice. They would not have to tax their arms to beat any team around here. or course, if there is any team, scheduled tentatively or otherwise, that wishes to evade meeting us through any sub- terfuge, no matter how remote, that is the affair of that team and not mine.” Snappy. Yes, yes, but the National Leaguers wouldn't get angry at the insinuation that they're not as good as the American. And Hugh Jen- nings simply said: “There will be no series with the Tigers.” Robinson Won’t Make Changes In Dodger ‘Infield to The Prening Wortd.) NEW ORLBPANS, La., March 1L— Notwithstanding the fact that four of the players who were big factors in winning the pennant for the Dodgers last year have not yet come to terms with the Brooklyn club, Manager Wil- bert Robinson does not expect any changes in his infleld this year. ‘The astute manager of the Nat'onal League champions believes in the “sticking together’ policy and will not, unless it is entirely necessary, make a change in his championship jintleld, despite the splendid showings of some of the rookies in camp. It is true that Ed, Konetchy, who played a etellar game at first pase last season, may not be able to do so well again this year, but this jen’t worrying the rotund manager, could easily displace the veteran with the reliable Ray Schmandt, who has been Koney’s understudy for the in- Braves.

Roger Peck Works Out at Training Camp, So Baker Is Only Regular Missing Now. (Special to ‘The Evening World.) SHREVEPORT, La, March 1. HE Yankees again drew fine Weather to-day. In addition they were led to the fleld by |their field captain and shortstop, Roger Peckinpaugh, who arrived in camp last night. The usual batting and fielding drills were indulged in this morning, the rival “Rupperts” and “Hustons" getting ready for their sixth clash. By reason of Babe Ruth's presence in their line-up, the “Rupperts” again entered the game heayy favorites. |Babe has been the main factor in giving Col.

All tthe regular outflelders already are here with the exception of Meusel, who may or may not be classed as an welcome in the outfield tf he should display even fairly creditable work. In justice to the man, it must be, said that the outfield was new to’ him last year and that he was net always entirely eatistied with play- ing there. Success in the big league went to his head a bit last summer, but all hands in camp—and everybody likes him—sincerely haope that one year in the majors will have sobered him to the seriousness of his ttask. Miller Huggins is elated at the progress his leading moundsmen are making. Jack Quinn already ts pitch- ing to his mates in batting practice— he got his baptism of 1921 fire yester- day.

All of the latter quartet save Hoyt are working steadily, and within another week will be quite able to unlimber their arms as they see ft. Hoyt ts temporarily incapacitated with a sore finger, but will not long remain idle. The Injury is only « trifling one, but Huggins will not Hoyt resume work until the “yous veteran” has entirely Jack Quinn bore the brunt of the early season campaign for tthe Yan- kees last year and did as good ao one-man job of tt as any one could have done.
