Wally Pipp, Back From Havana, Declares Arinaiido
Has Asked to Rejoin Local Gub; Stock, Now
With Cardinals, May Again Wear Giant Uniform
By W. J. Macbeth
Armando Marsans, perhaps the best known of all Cuban ball players
who made the big league grade, is anxious to return to the Yankees. He
eo informed Walter Pipp, the New York first baseman, who visited the
island this winter, and Pipp has advised Manager Miller Huggins to give
the Cuban a trial forthwith.
According to Pipp, who is a pretty sensible sort of fellow, Marsans
should be a very handy man to have around even if Huggins is flnally
8uccessful in landing a celebrated outflelder for whose services he has
been negotiating.
Armando, according to Pipp, is ln as*
fine physical condition as he ever was,
even when he jumped the Reds to east
his lot with the Federal League. Mar?
sans, so Pipp says, covers quite as
much territory in the middle pasture
as he did in the heyday of his major
league career and his arm is as strong
and true as then. He packs the wallop,
too, though he is no longer the excep
tional base runner he was five years
ago.
Marsans's leg, which was broken in
*the first game of a donble header
against Cleveland at the Polo Grounds
in 1917, shortly after the Cuban had
come to "Wild Bill" Donovan in ex?
change for Lee Magee, has mended with
out leaving a trace of stiffness or lame
ness. Marsans has slowed as a base
runner only because of the deliberation
which always comes with age. He is
no longer a colt.
Huggins Due To-morrow
Manager Huggins will reach the city
to-morrow. He is coming East to
corral those Yankee athletes who still
vemain beyond the pale. He doubtless
will get in touc'h with Marsans imme
diately and set in motion the legisla
tion necessary, for the reinstatement
of the Cuban.
While he is on the reserve list of the
New York Americans, Armando Mar?
sans is not in good standlng in pro
fessional baseball. Toward the middle
of the season of 1918, disgruntled be?
cause he was not favored for the center
field position over Elmer Miller, the
temperamental Cuban departed secretly
for dear old Havana.
If he is to play again with New York
it will be necessary for Marsans to
seek reinstatement by the National
Commission. The triumvirate, how?
ever, has been very lenient with other
players who quit their posts during the
big war year. If Marsans is as good
as Walter Pipp believes him, he would
guarantee to Miller Huggins a high
class fielding garden trio and one pos
sessed of a wicked wallop as well.
While none of the officials of the
Giants would discuss the possibility, it
has been established on what appears
reliahle information that Milton Stock,
of the Cardinals, may guard the third
corner for McGraw the comintc season.
Heine Zimmerman and a catcher, pre
sumably Lew McCarty, are to be passed
on for the midget, who was turned
back by McGraw, virtually without
trial, only to make good with a ven
(jeance for the Phillies.
But for the fact that he is handi
capped by partial deafness Stock might
have developed into as formidable
player as Heinie Groh, who, by a
strange coincVlence, was a rookie Giant
when1 Milton was with the local club.
Chase in the Movies?
McGraw is expected to leave Havana
for San Antonio early next week in j
order to reach the spring base by the
time his players are mobilized there. j
His big problem is the infield. It
is said now that Hal Chase is likely to
he absent. Chase has an opportunity
to go into the movies, a chance he may
embrace, as he realizes his baseball
career has almost run its course. He
is thirty-six years of age.
The owners of the Giants and Yan?
kees will hold a conference to-day in
order to draft a new scale of admis
sions in keeping with the will of the
joint meeting in Chicago. There is lit?
tle doubt the tariff will be lncreased
for the covered saats. The big qu.estion
is whether or not to raise the price for
the sun gods of the bleachers. An an
nouncement has been promised before
nightfall.
It is expected that the ofuclal sohed
ule of the New International League
will be given out for publication early
next week. The draft of dates, as sub
. mitted at yesterday's meeting, was
changed in certain particulars relative
to holldays. The revised edition has
been mailed back to the printers.

May Enter '
Other Stars From Quaker
Gty Also Likely to Com
* pete in Indoor Fixture
By Fred Hawthorne
It is alrnost a month from to-day
that the women's national indoor lawn
tennie championship tournament". is
scheduled to be#in at the 7th Regiment
armory, but the women who have 'the
arrangements in hand are not delay
ing their preparations to makeMhe
event a conspicuous success.
Just who will be in the entry list it
is impossible to say at this time, the
great rush of entries generally com
ing in the last three or four days be?
fore the lists close. But already triere
ar* rumors that Mre. Gilbert Harvey,
the No. 1 ranking player of Philadel
phia, will play in tho indoor tourney
for the first time in her court career,
and perhaps one or two more of the
leading Quaker stars.
I don't like to keep hammeing away
at the miserable light conditions for
tennis at the 7th Regiment armory,
fcr everybody ought to be grateful
that the regimental authorit.ies permit
the use of the building for these tour
naments. Where else could the men's
and women's championships be held in
this city, if not at the armory? But
I am sure that if there were some such
Indoor courts as Longwood covered
courts, in Boston, or the Heights Ca
sino. in Brooklyn, that the entry lists
would be larger and more representa
tive of the best in the game.
When the indoor tennis building to
be erected in this city by Mrs. Barger
Wallach is completed, perhaps next
winter, there is certain to be a great
increase of interest in the raens and
women's events, and we shall probably
be witnessing matches between aome
of the leading players in the country,
| Wilde Prepared
For Hardest Fight
In Jersey To-night
Jimmy Wilde, conceded to be the
i greatest fiyweight boxer in the world,
will make his first appearance in an
Eastern ring when he meets Mickey
Russell, of Jersey City, at The Arena
I in the 4th Regiment Armory, Jersey
City, to-night.
I While this will be Wilde's fourth
: fight since his arrival in this country,
he regards it as his first real test. It
is the Welshman's intention to let this
, bout decide his future in the United
! States. He made this announcement
to Dave Driscoll yesterday afternoon
at his training quarters, when the man
, ager of The Arena sought to discuss
future matches at his club.
"I'm not certain about the future."
said Wilde. "It's a matter that depends
j on the outcome of my bout with Rus
I sell. If I beat him decisively, 1*11 stay
; here and continue boxing. If I don't
', beat him decisively, or if he beats me,
I'm going to chuck it up as a bad job
; and go back home.
There will be a card of pre
liminaries, including bantamweighta,
. featherweights, lightweights, middle
weights and heavyweights. Besides
' Oakey Keyes, hero of fifteen straight
i knockouts, there will be a swarm of
! other good boxers in the prelims.

| Maranville Will Remain
With Braves, Says Grant
; BOSTON, Feb. 18.?Walter "Rabbit"
? | Maranville, star shortstop of tho Bos
. ton National League Baseball Club, will
' ! continue to play in a Brave's uniform
i | this season, George W. Grant, president
,; of the club, said to-day. It had been
, : rumored that Maranville was to be
i j traded to the Giants.
i ? "Maranville belongs here, is a Bos
I ton institution, and will not go else
| where," Grant said. "He is the one
| player around whom we will have to
build a club, so there is no chance of
his getting away."
Nineteen of the Braves are reported
: to have signed 1920 contracts.
Harvard Swimmers Lose
BOSTON, Feb. 18.?The Amherst
swimming team defeated Harvard here
to-day, 38 to 15.
? Philadelphia,
rennis Tourney
whereas now the competition is largely
confined to local players.
Miss Marie Wagner, who has won the
indoor title some half dozen times, and
who was, in fact, supreme on the ar?
mory floors until the advent of Mrs.
Franklin I. Mallory and Mrs. George W.
Wightman, the prespnt champion, is al
most certain to try again, and she may
repeat her former triumphs unless Mrs.
Mallory sees fit to enter.
Mrs. Wightman, I understand, will
not defend her crown this year, being
satisfied to rest on her national turf
court laurels and devote all her time
to preparing for her defense of that
championship. Miss Elcanor Goss, who
might be figured to win the title next
month, will also be absent, as she is
now on the Coast, and will be there for
several months. Mrs. Mallory has not
yet indicated whether she will try
again, though, if she does, I do not see
any one to defeat the great Norse girl.
Mrs. Samuel H. Waring, of the New
York Tennis Club, who signalized, her
rise to the ranks of tho near-great this
month by her brilliant defeat of Miss
Wagner in the open tourney at the
Heights Casino, will be among* the con
tenders, and she may prove a surprise
to some of those who have not been
keeping close track of her remarkable
improvement of late.
There is certain to be a goodly entry
from among the local clubs, Miss
Jessie Gott, Miss Lillian Scharman,
Mrs. W. H. Pritchard, Mrs. Ingo Hart
mann and others having been indulging
in frequent practice for the last few
weeks.

Once More
"The Cub pitching staff ia now working out at Hot Springs."?Item.
The landscape may not show it
By frozen hill and glen,
But here before we know it
The old stuff's baok again.
While sneexing still and eoughing
Where all the world ts gray,
The box score's in the offing,
And spring is on the way.
College Boxing
Inasmuch as boxing is a great game when properly conducted. there
is no reason why intercollegiate boxing should not be turned into a
major sport.
In the first place there ia no finer recreation or training. In the
second place the game isn't aa rough as either f ootball or wrestling. The
fact that a few spoonfuls of gore are sometimes spilled means nothing,
for the injurious effects rarely last twenty-four hours.
The world still has a few flabby citizens left who shrink from the
| mere thought of blood, which is nearly always of minor consequence.
Colleges and universities have a wonderful chance to add a new and
attractive sport to their intercollegiate menus (new, we mean, to the
intercollegiate menus) that will furnish recreation and entertainment for
udditional thousands who may not care for football, rowing or baseball.
Boxing for New York
Boxing has come and gone via New York Stat? in sudden shifta
through a number of years.
On this next occasion the Legislature should see that the proper bill
is passed and the proper commission appointed. This commission should
consider nothing except the best interesta of the sport, with power to
drive all offenders out of the game.
If the job is created merely to land a fat assignment for some poli
tician, the usual detonation will occur on schedule time.
Spring Training
The time to develop the passing and kicking game for football is
through the spring.
When October arrives there isn't time enough to handle these two
features properly and then award sufficient practice to tackling, blocking,
signal practice, the running game and other numerous complications that
must be looked after.
Two months of spring training at the art of passing and receiving
and kicking and handling kicks will return vlividends around 40 per cent.
Who could ask for more?
The Home Run Habit
It has been argued that inasmuch as Babe Ruth had a big home run
year last season he will hardly repeat.
Fortunately for the luster of the eminent Babe's fence-busting future,
past records fail to support this logic.
Gawy Cravath led the National League in 191.3. He promptly re
peated in 1914, and in 1915 he not only repeated but ran his jnark up
to twenty-four.
He started another home run epidemic in 1917, and after leading
the league that year repeated again in 1918 and 1919.
Harry Davis led the American League in home runs in 1904, 1905
1906 and 1907?a span of four seasons?before he ceased firing.
Frank Baker started his outbreak in 1911, leading his league four
seasons before he finally desisted, in 1915.
Babe Ruth tied C. Walker in 1918, with eleven four-base develop
ments, and last season he doubled the output of his two nearest rivals. As
this pernicious or highly gratifying habit (aa the case may be) seems to
run in long spans the Babe may easily have his best year still beyond him.
Dempaey and Carpentier may battle on a basis of 60 and 40, but
your Uncle Samuel will only operate on a strict 60 per cent basis where
a $500,000 purse is concerned. The income tax collector will look after
the few simple details involved.
It ia a depressing thought that so many earnest athletes will soon
be hustled out of the rigorous, bracing climate of New England, Mkhigan,
etc, to suffer from the steamy sun raya of Florida, Texas and California.'
Is there no one to speak a word in their behalf ?
"The Cuba have nothing except three good pitchers," says an ex?
change. We suppose there isn't a ball club on the map that could use
Hollocher, Killifer, Herzog or Dave Robertson. Not a one!
We see by a contemporary that the "yacht race for the America's Cup
will be rowed this summer." At that rowing a yacht ought to be a first
class test. Or will galley slaves be employed?
Official Program
For Olympic Meet
Is Made Public
The first official program of the
Olympic games to be held in Belgium
the coming summer reached the Ameri?
can Olympic committee here yesterday.
The data included the program, special
booklets on swimming and other sports
as well as a lengthy answer to a queB
tionnaire forwarded to the Belgium
committee some weeks ago.
With this information in hand the
American committee expects to be able
to complete its plans for the forma
tion, entry and transportation of the
United States team, which will be the
largest that ever sailed from these
shores for foreign competition.
The program was immediately placed
in the hands of translators and Presi
dent Gustavus T. Kirby will call a
meeting of the committee to hear a
reading of the complete dates and cdn
ditions governing the great interna
tional sport competition as soon as the
translation is completed.
The track will be approximately 440
yards in circumference and will not be
equipped with the usual 220-yard
straightaway. In several events, such
as the rowing races, which will be
over a 1^4-mile course, only one entry
from a nation will be accepted. In a
majority of the individual contests the
limit of entries will be six men or
women, with but four of the entrants
allowed to start.
The tennis matches will be played on
composition courts, the foundation be?
ing composed of brick dust and clay.
The hand grenade throw has been
eliminated and there is doubt whether
there will be a golf lixture included in
the games.
The dates of the leading branches of
competition with the number of events
therein, number of entries as well as
starters permitted and the closing dates

Late in April
154 Games To Be Played in
Five Months; Plan Pre
tentious Training Trips
The New International League, which
held its annual spring schedule meet
ing at the Hotel Imperial yesterday j
afternoon will notfollow the proflteer
ing practices of the majors. This Class
A. A. clrcuit will operate through 1920
at the scalo af admision prices which i
prevailed in 1919, though the promoters
all frankly confess that few of their
men have signed up as yet and that
all of them are demanding major league
remuneration. An upward tariff revi- j
eion was not evfen discussed informally.
The International Leaguers adopted
their schedule of 154 games, which will
be compressed into a five months' sea?
son. The season will open on April !
21 with the eight clubs aligned as fol
lows: Akron at Jersey City, Toronto
at Reading. Buffalo at Baltimore, Roch
ester at Syracuse. On May 5 these
same pairings will be reversed for the
home openings of the visiting clubs
concerned, in the schedule inaugural.
The best possible brand of baseball
at minor league prices seems to be
the new slogan of the Fultz circuit.
Certainly not since the Federal league
invaded and nearly wrecked this fast
minor league has the Fultz circuit
breathed such a spirit of initiative as
prevailed about the corridors of the
Imperial yesterday.
Pretentious Training Trips
The generosity of its new lines of
promotion may perhaps be best illus
trated in the pretentious plans for
spring training unanimously adopted
by the several club owners. Not even
the major leagues will greatly outdo
Fultz's heichmen in this particular.
The Toronto club, which will be man
oged by Hughie Duffy, wij^ get into con
dition at Columbus, Ga. George Wiltse
will lead his Buffalo team to Raleigh,
N. C. Dick Hoblitzell is to take Akron
to Hot Springs, Ark., if you please.
Tony Cummings's Syracuse collcction
will work out at Tarboro, N. C. Golds
boro, N. C, will play host to Arthur
Irwin's Rochesters and Jack Dunn's
Orioles. John Hummel, manager of the
Reading team, is still undecided as to
where he will train, but he will make a
Southern trip. Wild Bill Donovan will
take the Skeeters to Lakewood, N. J.
The old board of directors were re
turned to office for another year. This
board is composed of Charles H. Knapp
(Baltimore), chairman; J. J. McCaffery
(Toronto), J. J. Lannin (Buffalo),
Charles T. Chapin (Rochester), and
Joseph F. Moran (Jersey City).
President Fultz made a lengthy re
port on the conference between the
major and minor league representa
tives in Chicago relative to a new
working agreement. Owing to exist
ing conditions this situation was dis
cused only informally. It is known,
however, that the majority of Interna?
tional League clubowners are opposed
to a new agreement that entails a re?
turn to draft privileges by major
league clubs.
Akron Trades Inflelder
It was announced that Akron had
traded First Baseman Howard McLarry
to the St. Louis Cardinals for Inflelder
Lee Hobbs and cash.
Akron secured Infielder Billy Purtell
from Toronto through the waiver
route.
Wild Bill Donovan announced that
he, had signed Paddy Baumann, for
mer Yankee infielder, for the Skeeters.
Pitcher Hal Justin, over whom there
was a dispute, was awarded to Reading
by tha board of directors. Justin was
with Toronto in 1919.
The Akron delegates reported that
such progress had been made on the
new plant at the Rubber City it would
be able to seat 10,000 spectators on
