ii Either Jim Jolly or George Murray to Be Eighth Box- man on Staff. (Special to The Evening World.) NEW ORLEANS, La., March 16.— (Little Miller Huggins, the man upon ‘whom the success or the failure of the Yankees is placed, will carry eight tchers during the coming American e pennant scramble. Seven of hurlers already have been decided m, while the eighth will be either Jolly, the southpaw from Galves- Tex., or George Murray, the for- © North Carolina collegian, who » Pn thirteen games and lost seven for hester last season. Frank (‘‘Lefty") O'Doul will be a ure with the American League pions this year, and his good left » Which nearly won the Pacific JCoast League pennant for San Fran- j@lsco in 1921, may play an important Part in the pennant race for the Yan- kees. But the pitchers that Huggins will mainly depend upon are Sam Jones, Carl Mays, Waite Hoyt, ‘Bul- Jet Joe’ Bush, Bob Shawkey and ) Harry Harper. The Hackensack, N. J., southpaw has not reported as yet and will not Greet his fellow players until the ®eason gets under way. Harper is strictly a warm weather pitcher and in previous seasons he has never rted his first game until late in May. O'Doul can pitch in any kind eather, and if Jones, Bush, Mays, wkey or Hoyt fall down, Huggins have his young southpaw ready to step in and do his bit for the cause. Huggins stood behind the batting @age at the morning practice yester- @ay and watched Lefty pitch to the regulars. Not only did the southpaw have exceptionally good control of his curve ball, but he zipped the ball mq to the plate with great speed and P) gulars missed the ball quite fre- tly. “You always had a good curve ball,” said Huggins to the pitcher Mater, “but you have a better hop on your fast ball now than when you were with the team before O'Doul will get his first real test at Fordham — Flash,” Up, Will Be Out Days Ten (Special to The ANTONIO, © New York me in the hicago White st.

O'Doul pitched in the winter league on the Coast last December, and has met Mr, Hornsby before. The Yankees will play their third exhibition game with the New Orleans Pelicans this afternoon and Huggins will start his regular team against the Southern Association team. The Yankees, however, will use two of their recruit pitchers, Jolley and George Quinn. Ruth will play in the outfield and Pipp on first. The Babe yesterday captained the Rookies to an easy victory over Hug- gins'’s Regulars. The Sultan of Swat kept the youngsters on the jump and in the first inning they scored a half @ dozen runs with Bernie Culp pitch- ing. McMillan made a three-bagger in this inning with the bases crowded. He also made another one in the! sixth, Johnny Mitchell helped himself to a three-bagger in the first inning. In the sixth Ed Neusel, the young out- fielder, made a home run and Ruth and McMillan triples. In thie inning Ruth was first hit by a thrown ball and then his head came in contact with Killinger’s foot. Hoffmann attempted to catch the Babe off the bag and made a horrible mess of it. His throw smacked Ruth on the shoulder blade, Killy made a bold attempt to stop the ball, and on the scramble his right foot struck Ruth behind the ear, inflicting a slight cut. It wasn't serious and Babe cdn- tinued playing. Later he went agolf- ing with Waite Hoyt, Carl Mays and several of the other players, Between baseball in the morning and golf in the afternoon, Ruth ought to be down to 183 pounds by May 20. He displayed plenty of pep on the field to-day and fielded like a Sisler around first hase. No trade is in the making for a right fielder at the present moment. Col, Ruppert and Ed Barrow were scheduled to arrive here on Saturday, but to-day it was announced that they wouldn't be here until Sunday. Maybe they are hunting around for a capable mun to fill Meusel’s place.

They are Jack Boland and Bill Fitzpatrick, infielders, who were not under contract but here on trial. They were sent back to New| York. George Stanton, the tall Facific Coast outfielder and pitcher, who Was under contract, was released un- conditionally, He has only been playing six months and the club con- considers him far too raw to do any- thing with at present. Stanton came on at the recommendation of Big Bill Lange, George Kelly's uncle, who acts as a scout for the Giants on the Coast. The sunburn epidemic —_ added Hughie Jennings and Red Causey to its victims. It apparently attacks only red-headed men. John Raw- lings was the first to succumb, but he was discharged from the hospital yes- terday. The Giants will play the Quarter- master Depot team from Camp Travis to-day. The army boys are managed by Lieut, Leo Regan and Lieut. Raymond Daly, both New York boys, who are stationed at the np. They will bring a large num- ber of soldiers with them to watch the big leaguers.

These trophies are offered for the leaders in three divisions—the amateur,semi-pro and individual. Last night the members in attendance were again assured of the support of Mayor Hylan, who has a soft spot in his heart for the ‘‘New York sandlotters.”" W. W. Cohen, who is Chairman of the Board of Directors, said the or- ganization certainly deserves the moral and financial support of the citizens in our great city, The splendid con- duct of the players on the field and the uplift of the national game !s one thing that he was more interested in than anything else. It has been hts desire to help the kiddies fn all their manly sports, especially in our na- tional game. Rev. Father McCahill, head of the Welfare Work of the Catholic Char- ity, was elected to the Board of Direc- tors and with the support of Father McCahill the federation has one of the greatest enthusiasts of athletic sports in Greater New York. Frank J. Manly, who is in charge of athletics, entered the Catholic athletic teams tn a body. They number forty-two teams and the entire New York dio- cese of New York County Knights of Columbus number thirty-two teams. Mr. Manly said that at the final game played at the C, C. N. Y. stadium ais organization had 15,000 spectators. Mr. Clark, representing the New York Cubs, who will leave on Satur- day for a training trip through the South, entered the Cubs in the federa~ tion, which will compete for the semi-professional championship. Ar- to See Ta New York Baseball Feder- Robins Play To-Day Game Arranged Between Reg- ulars and Yannigans for His Benefit. (Special to The Evening World). JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March 16.— High Commissioner of Baseball Kennesaw Mountain Landis, who ar- rived here yesterday, will be a spec- tator at the game Robbie has ar- ranged for this afternoon between the Brooklyn club's regulars and the Yannigans. The game 1s being held for the especial benefit of the emi- nent jurist, and unless the weather man interferes the game promises to be exciting. “I would be some commissioner if { remained in Chicago while this was going on,” Landis said in an inter- view with the newspaper men. He declared that he was strong for training for the umpires. Newspaper men believe the commis- sioner meant this as a joke, but Landis declared he was sincere about it To-morrow the Brooklyn team will spring depart from this city one of the best conditioned teams in #he Nationa! League. Every player on the ball club, with the possible exception of Burleigh Grimes, who only started to get in shape a few days ago, will be In first class shape, and Manager Robbie is looking forward for his boys to hand the Yanks some nifty trimmings. Pensacola will be the first stop of the team, Here !t will meet the Louisville Colonels in a three-game series, The Dodgers will leave Pen- sacola on March 22 for Mobile, where they will clash with the Mobile club of the Southern League in two games, After the games with Mo- bile, the Dodgers will start their annual series with the Yankees. In meeting the Yankees the Dodg- crs will be a better conditioned team than they were last year. The in- fielders, outfielders and catchers have done wonderful work and are in prime condition, Ferdie Schupp, southpaw pitcher, has been sold to the Kansas City Club of the American Association, which will now have the old New York Giant battery of Schupp and McCar- thy. This announcement came as a surprise as Schupp was supposed to be {my good condition thur Henning, counsel for the fed- eration, offered his services to any of the teams and will decide all the knotty arguments that may arise dur- ing the season. Commissioner Loos of the Famous Melrocks of Yorkville spoke of the great benefits derived by being mem- bers of the federation last year and Yorkville is expected to have double the number of teams represented that were members last year. John J. Farrell of the Corona Caseys has also entered his team for the semi-pro- fessional championship. Manager Charles Hays of the Podivant A. C., who were runners-up in the light semi-pro series last season, claims he has a much better team this year and hopes to be in the running. The following teams joined the es- sociation last evening: The Sagmores, the Trinity A. C., Columbia A. C., Rialto A. C., the Camrin 8. C., Quaker A. C., Bay Ridge Post No. 167, the Marathon A. C., the Mohawk Athietie, the Willlmantics, the Pirate A. the Knickerbocker A. C., the ‘rancis A. C., the Paragon A. C., Athletics, Montana Baseball Club, King A. C., the Harlem Ath- letics, Yorkville Grays, Metropolitan, Radio Athletic Club, Blank Athletic, bringing the total number of teams now in the federation to 298. The next regular meeting will be held on Tuesday evening at 8 P. M., at No. 21 East 14th Street. The 1922 season for the New York Baseball Federation should be a great year. The Sandlot Organization, which was started in New York last season with a membership of over 200 teams, had a splendid season for its first year and this year, with the ‘teams knowing that the federation has come to stay and is a member of the American Baseball Federation, repre- senting the Eastern States, will have their intercity championships, which will take place in the latter part of August or first two weeks in Sep- tember. Many new diamonds have been laid out in Prospect Park, Bronx Park, Van Cortlandt Park and the Borough of Richmond. During the combined National and American League meeting at the Commodore Hotel, Judge Landis lis- tened attentively to the work of the federation in New York and at the conclusion of the meeting which the delegates had with him he promised <he federation all the support that he could give them. The Class A amateurs of 1921 are re-entering the 1922 championship. The amateurs are divided into four divisions, Class D running from 12 to 14, Class C from 14 to 16, Class B from 16 to 18, and Clase A, best amateur team. Any amateur team that has not as yet been registered in the federation should get in touch at the earliest pos- pible date with the Secretary at head- quarters, No. 21 East 14th Street, and the applications will be voted upon as soon as they are received. In making an application the manager should state the ages of his team if they are in Class A, which is the amateur division, so that they may be classi- fied. This will greatly remedy the diMiculty which arose Jast season in placing the teams in their proper divisions SSS INTERSTATE UMPIRES HOLD IMPORTANT MEETING To-morrow evening, at No, 25 City Hall Place, the Interstate Umpires Protective Association will hold its weekly meeting. Frank Wilson of the American League will give his sem|- talk to the umpires. The organ!- n invites all umpires in Greater New York to attend.
