PRAT TIRE EN ISIE US PEALE ee at IIs YANK MANAGER COUNTS ON TWIRLERS 10 HOLD TEAM UP Outside of Boxmen American League Champions Much Weaker ’ Than at Outset of Last Year’s Race. By Robert Boyd. HE Yankees leave New York Ak to-day for Washington to start the championship season with Clyde Milan's Senators to-morrow. Clark Griffith, with the aid of the veteran outfielder, has whipped a xreat ball club together this year which, with an even break in the pitching, may cause both Speaker and Miller Huggins much trouble in holding the leadership of the race in the younger circuit. When the Yanks shake the dust of the big town from thelr shoes and drift down to the capital, Miller Hug- gins, diminutive commander-in-chief of the American League champions, will be in deep meditation over how the team is going to shape up against the Senators without the services of their two most important men on the offense. The Yankees with Bob Meusel and Babe Ruth tn the line-up ‘Was perhaps never the team that some folks thought it was, but with the two big guns silenced through the ruling of Judge Landis— Well? Huggins has @ reason to worry on the eve of the commencement of another weary and strenuous campaign. Pitching, it is said, makes a ball elub, And with Sam Jones, who will Probably start the season in Wash- ington to-morrow, Joe Bush, Carl Mays, Hoyt, Shawkey and O'Doul, Huggins will be consoled in the fact that, although the Yankees as a team are infinitely weaker than when they beat out Cleveland for the pennant last year, he has a pitching staff at 1 rei rtenat ea least twice as strong as the flingers he had to start the campaign with last year McMillan will start the game against the Senators in right field. Fewster will cover left and Elmer Miller will play centre. Feweter’a hit- ting and his fielding is bound to be steady, but McMillan is the uncer- tainty of the outer works. He is really an infielder, with no reputa- tion for brilliancy, yet he ie a hard hitter, Miller has played well in the spring training trip, and he is likely to have a better batting season this year than he did last, The way Homerun Baker has been hitting the ball may give him the call for third over Mike McNally. He has showed some of the oldtime slugging that made him the Babe Ruth of years ago, creating a good impression with Chief Huggins, All told, the way Jones, Bush, Mays and Hoyt are going, they should car- ry the team over the first month— Perhaps the hardest one of the race— nicely, The infield of last year, with Roger Peckinpaugh at short, was slightly stronger on the offensive. Scott, the greatest mechanician of to-day, la a fielder par excellence, but ‘Peck’ added a stronger punch when runs were needed. But to revert to the accepted theory that pitching is nearly 75 per cent. of the strength of a ball club, we must sit back and ponder with the silent, brown, wrinkle-faced Huggins and wait to see If it will be so in the Dresént case of the Yankees, Princeton Hopes to Do Better Than Fordham Against Giants — Local Collégians Suffer From stayed awhile, but had to go to nee Stage Fright in Game at Polo Grounds, By Bozeman Bulger. HE Princeton boys are inclined to sympathise with Fordham over the defeat at the hands of the Giants, but, everything con- widered, they've decided it’s all for the best. This avoids any possible complications in the claims for the all-around baseball championship. All the Tigers have to do now is trim the World's Champs to-day and take the ribbon, It is quite simpte. And the Giants are just as anxious ‘tp get this Princeton battle off their hands. With that out of the way they enn go right ahead and open the reg- ‘ine season to-morrow. Princeton's only regret, according ‘o her manager, is that in case they un youghshod over the World’ Champs MeGtaw will not have a chance for a return engagement next spring. ‘That's a thing McGraw had not thought of until it waa called to his attention, “It's something to figure on, at that," he observed, his brows wrink- ling in deep thought, ‘‘I'll give them the best I've got in the shop and if we should lose we have the satisfac- ton, as old John L, said, of knowing the championship remains in Amer- ” em." aie ‘The Fordham game lay rather heavily on Hughey McGuire and Frank O'Malley, who watched it from back of the preas box. “I can stand for the boys getting walloped,”” said Hughey, ‘because I don't think they really expected to win by a big score, but there's @ thing that riles the two of us—a thing I can't understand. How comes it—tell me how it comes—that men by the names of Schermerhorn, Boutot and Cousineau are after making most of the fine plays? Yes, and doing most of the whaling of the ball." “But there’s a lad named Shankey waving the shillalah quite a bit,’ suggested O'Malley. “He gets a two Dagger and a run. now since I've heard the others,"’ said Hughey, “I ain't so wure that he's Irish, at that. I don’t remember any Shankey's coming from the County Mayo," Fordham reaity worted herd to make a showing aginst the Giants, but for the firat vime, even wgainst professionals, trey ap- poased to have stage frighs, Wo Sammara, their star pitcher, was ' himself at all, Vanderdeck, s successor, did better for @ yew ites, but went dad, O'Brien, « gladdened Hughey McGwire’ soul by his presence, couldn't stop big leaguers a Ddit better, thur Devlin, their mentor, had i get up and leave.

It may be three weeks before the boy is able to put on a baseball shoo, scmeapsie The last word in optimism was the fan who arose when the Fordham boys scored a run and yelled, “Now, 9° ahead and tie it up! At-a-boy!” At that moment the score stood The fans liked Boone and Black. The former is not so fast on-the bases, but he sure maul the apple. jack plays @ snappy shortstop.

Charley Pitts, formerly of Australia, but who now makes his home in Brook- lyn, was awarded the deciston over Lew Tendler of Philadelphia in the seventh session of their twelve-round encounter at the Broadway Exhibition Assocla- tion's show in Brooklyn last night. The referee, Andy Griffen, declared Pitts the winner on what he declared was &@ foul blow struck by the Philadet- phian, Pitt» welghed 138% and Tendler 187% pounds, In the round Tendler sent in a left t4 the stomach which, to the crowd, did appear too low, and It let out werles of “boos.” This blow was dellv- ered just before the bell after the men had been cautiously feeling each other out.

BALTIMORE, April 11.—Puddin’ "* McDaniel and his brother Bruce, the juvenile members of @ famous turf confederacy, spent a sleepless night. ‘They lost their meal ticket. It hap- pened at Bowle yesterday, after the old steeplechaser Fair Mac, hero of many field battles and one of the steadiest selling plater jumpers in the country, had been led off to George Foreman’s barn with a. claimer’s halter on him, 'Twas an awful blow to the two youngsters, who have been Mac's sole dependency for the last three years. Bruce has worn the owner's badge, while “Pud’ cared for the training. When “Puddin’,”, who, incidentally, was one of the best riders in + the country about ten years ago, went off to New Orleans last fall to train the Lavin and Brown strings, he left Bruce at Gravesend with Fair Mac and more instructions concerning his care than Ren Block gave Fred Bur- lew about Morvich, Bruce did just as he was told, with the result that old Mac, one of the oldest geldings in the East, got off the cars to rejoin the Southern divi- sion looking and acting like a two- year-old, so well, in fact, that the pair figured it would do him good to run with some flat horses again, if only to put the final prep. on his speed for the two or three selling steeple- chase races they had in sight during the Havre de Grace meeting next week.

The amateur handicappers at Bowie have a new scheme. Instead of dis- counting a notoriously bad post actor they credit him with a point or two, feeling that he will demand sufficient attention at the gate to enable a run- ning getaway. About all the bad ac- tors at this meeting have been for- tunate in this respect. Apple Jack II., who has been on the shooting list about everywhere he has ever race: got the usual bulge yesterday and successfully disposed of any chance the cowlike King John might have had by knocking him off his stride as the gate flew up. Of course, Apple Jack went on the schooling list, but he will come back soon unchastened. When the Apple Jacks get their just due and are sent back two lengths behind their flelds, the King Johns will have their rightful due. Bob Smith and several other train- ers at Bowle are gathering a testi- monial in memory of their late friend and fellow, Jack McDonald, who con- tracted smallpox during the recent Mobile meeting and died in Baltimore last week. McDonald was everyone's friend throughout forty years on the turf, both with runners and trotters, and his friends propose to keep his memory green by their contributions, Smith's address is the Belvidere Ho- tel, Baltimore. 2 Wrong Time for New Rich Stake, Says Belmont The new $50,000 Championship Cup race for three-year-olds, which will be offered by the Kentucky Jockey Club at Latonia in June, is not meeting with marked approval in official racing cir- cles here, In @peaking of the new race yesterday August Belmont, Chairman of the Jockey Club, said: “This proposed race is not a stake with @ history. It je only a big purse, and if given at ali, the autumn after the three-year-olds have fulfilled regu- ‘ar engagements is the date for it. It would then have a re true mean- ing.” It is felt hereabouts that the Cham- pionship Cup, coming so soon after the Bolmont Stakes, would confilct seriously with the Brooklyn Handicap, drawing many good th event and richest fixture for the Aqueduct meeting.

It was voted to recommend to the faculties and trustees of the institutions partic- {pating that all coaches, beginning with the fall of 1923, be appointed in the same way as members of the fac- ulty. President Alexander Meiklejohn of Amherst College was chairman and President Remsen B. Ogilby of Trin- ity was secretary. After a general vote of approval of such meetings had been passed it was decided to form an association of presidents. Presidents Meiklejohn, Ogilby and Kenneth C. M.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, April 11.—It there is an investigation made here into the amateur status of Harvard athletes it is expected that nothing sensational will be dug up. The Chalr~ men of the Harvard, Yale and Prince- ton athletic committees meet an- nually to discuss matters of impor- tance along common eligibility lines, and each is supposed to keep his own territory free from suspicion. Dean Briggs doesn't believe that there is any athlete gt Harvard who will euffer from an investigation if one is made, He qualified the statement, however, by adding that if it is shown that any Harvard athlete is not what he has stated himself to be to the athletic authorities he would be barred imme- diately. Dean Greenough wished it firmly understood that the recent meeting in New York City of the men appointea by the Presidents of Harvard, Yale and Princeton had absolutely nothing to do with the present rumpus. He declared that they were not appointed to discuss eligibility or other euch subjects. The Scot’s been signally successful in producing strong and handsome golf stockings.
