Captain Peckinpaugh i
Huggins and His Cohorts
Shiver in Hohl Corridors
Arrival of Sensational Shortstop Only Incident to
Help Dispel Gloom of a Sad, Dismal Day
for Ball Tossers; Eating Contest Fizzles
By W. J. Macbeth
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 5.?Roger Peckinpaugh, tho mains
spring of th? inner works of Miller Huggins's 1920 pennant machine, caused
the only rise in the Yankees' training camp to-day. He effected it with
the least possible effort, as he effects the most difficult feats of fielding
skill on the greensward. He had only to appear to create a sensation,
For this was perhaps tho most dull
and dismal day any ball club had to
worry through in any time in any clime
in any year. It was simply atrocious.
It was too cold and raw for practise
out of doors or most anything else out
of doors. When one was out he had a
desire to hustle in. And when in he
wished nothing better than to be out.
Florida hotels are not constructed
after Northern specifications. 'Steam
radiators are installed for ornamental
purposes only. '
A few of the more hardly athletes
bundled up warmly in tho afternoon
and took a turn a; golf at the Country
Club, but most of the boys in their
overcoats shivered the day away in
their rooms or in the corridors. The
Peninsular State was in tre grip of
perhaps its worst cold snap o? the sea?
son.
Frost for Palm Beach
Had the sun not been shining
brightly in the afternoon it is possible
all the Senagambian help of the Bur
bridge Hotel would have "shimmied"
right across the Jordan. The weather
man predicts frost for to-night as far
south as Palm Beach. This is sup?
posed to be the last kiclf of Boreas.
May he rest in peace.
As to Roger Peckinpaugh, he has all
the phlegm and repose customary to
a champion at his position, reports in
apparently fine physical condition, is
glad he will have the assistance of
such a redoubtable comrade in arms
as "Babe" Rulfc, and believes with an
even break in the luck New York
should share in the main division of
the next world's series swag.
Peckinpaugh wintered well out in
Cleveland in spite of the snow and
cold. He spent a great deal of time
in the open and several weeks aga-be?
gan a course of light training. He has
very little weight to take off and as?
sures Huggins he should be in prime
condition for the series with the
Brooklyn Dodgers, which will be in?
augurated at South Side Park a week
from to-morrow.
So many arguments have developed
over the gastronomic abilities of th?
boys in training it was decided some
time ago to hc?d an all-age sweepstake
go-as-you-please style, at the Dover
Hall Club a week from Sunday. A fine
field was entered in Colonel Huston
Uncle Wilbert Robinson, "Babe" Ruth,
Sammy Vick and Ping Bodie.
But Francisco Pizzola, alias Ping, has
taken a run out powder and it looks as
if the race is off. Pizzola quit aftei
the first trial heat. He and Vick were
trying themselves out when Rut!
strolled in. Ruth put away a doubl?
sirloin and all the trimmings, including
a pint bottle of catsup.
Kuth Cleans Platter
Just before he struck dessert a walte
happened to appear with George Mog
ridge's dinner order. Ruth, who mis
took this for a side dish, cleaned th?
platter and then nonchalantly orderet
a double portion of mince pie ? 1?
mode and a rice pudding. Bodie tor?
right out without waiting for coffee.
All the Yankees are now present oi
accounted for, except pitcher Bil
Piercy, one of the native sons. Wore
came to-day that Truck Hannah woul<
leave immediately to talk over his al
leged grievances with Miller Huggins
Outfielder Duffy Lewis and Bobb;
Meusel are supposed to be somewher?
en route. No doubt tho entire flock wil
be at Huggins's command by the be
ginning of the week.
Colonel Huston and a party o
friends who followed the Yankees t?
Jacksonville will leave to-morrow morn
ing to spend the week end at the Dove
Hall Club, near Brunswick, Ga. Scou
Bob Gilks, who is superintendent of th.
club, has rigged up a fishing expeditioi
to be followed by an oyster roast.
With plenty of excitement in towi
in the shape of visiting minstrel troops,
not to mention a street fair, the ostrich
farm ,tho alligator form and all the
queer tourists, the boys are* up against
it for somethfcng to do. It is too dis?
mal to stir about; too gloomy even for
the old reliable game of draw.
Konetchy's Team
? In First Victofy;
Grimes Still Out
From a Special Correspondent
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March &,?
The Dodgers did not go through a
morning work-out to-day, as it was too
cold. In the afternoon, however, the
squad was out on Barr's Field, where
I another game between the Konetchys
and Johnstons was playod. A high
wind swept across the field, and at the
ei.d of six innings Manager Robinson
decided to chase the players to the
clubhouse.
The contest resulted in a victory
for the "Koneys" by a score of 4 to
3. It was the "Koney's" firft triumph
of the series. The winners batted
against the offerings of Cadore and
Mamaux, two of Robbie's regulars, and
nicked the star pitchers for seven hits.
Outfielder Neis was on Johnston's side
and made two singles. Otto Miller
and Johnston each cracked out a two
i bagger. Tho series will be resumed
! to-morrow afternoon.
Jeff Pfeffer is still a member of the
i Dodgers, but has not signed a con
! tract. The deal that may send him
; to the Cardinals has not been com
: pleted. Sherrod Smith, who deserted
?the hold-out ranks this morning, will
j go through his first work-out to-mor?
row.
Burleigh Grimes is the only mem?
ber of the Dodgers' pitching staff who
has not yet reported. The spit-baller
was ordered to be here with the early
arrivals.

Reds Minus Heinie Groh
Depart for Miami Camp
CINCINNATI, March 5.?Manager Pat
Moran, with a squad of players of the
champion Cincinnati National League
baseball club, boarded a train here this
morning for Miami, Fla., where spring
training will begin next Monday. In?
cluded in the party were Catchers Rari
den and Allen, Pitchers Sallee and
j Walters, the latter being a recruit from
Buffalo; Infielders Meyers and Rapp
and Outfielders Neale and Duncan.
Meyers is a. young first baseman, who
asked Manager Moran to be allowed to
go South with the Reds for a try-out.
The squad will be joined at Atlanta
by Ivy Wingo and Rube Bessler. All
the other players will join the team at
! camp early next week, going there di
| rectly from their homes. Refusal of
j Infielder Heinle Groh yesterday to at?
tach his signature to a $10,000 con?
tract resulted in his being left behind.
Cancel Proposed Sale
Of Red Sox Ball Park
BOSTON, March 5.?Terms of settle?
ment of the dispute between Harry
Frazee and Joseph J. Lannin, respec?
tively president and former president
of the Boston American League base?
ball club, have been agreed upon, coun?
sel for Lannin announced to-day. If
the settlement is concluded the auc?

grounds of the club, which has been
ordered by the courts, will be cancelled.
Lannin claims Frazee owei? him $262,

Shuffling Phil Douglas Joins
Giant Forces, but Unsigned
Toney and Gonzales Only
Members of McGraw
Clan Not at San Antonio
By W. O. McGeehan
SAN ANTONIO, March 5/?"Shuf?
fling" Phil Douglas shuffled into the
Menger Hotel early this morning, bo
r,ow the roster is just shy a battery
consisting of Fred Toney and Miguel
Gonzales, the sorrowful Cuban. These
two are signed up and on their' way.
They may glido through the cactus at
any moment. "Shuffling" Phil has not
placed his moniker to the contract for
the current year as yet, but it is ex?
pected that he will recover from the
temporary fit of pen paralysis at any
moment. ?
It seems that Phil is a victim of the
new mania for getting rid of the teeth
as a cure for all the roil or fancied
ills that flesh is heir to. Phil had
tried nearly everything to cure him?
self of the shuffling habit, which has
k caused him to shuffle out of-ball parks
m for parts unknown during the height
? of a busy season. Ho was told that the
" removal of the teeth had been curing
lumbago, housemaid's knee, cholera,
croup and crap shooter's wrist.
So Phil deposited himself in a den
t?sSi? chair, and when the operation
wms over the intofts?r of hi? mouth was
almost entinfjy bald, and he found
himself afflicted with a pronounced
lisp. Otherwise the "Shuffler" looks
hale and hearty.
Big Pitch?? Signed Early
Manager McGraw will hold some
earnest converso with Philip shortly
and will discuss contracts and their
relation to the shuffling habit Toney
signed hts contract early In the season,
and from all accounts is quite likely
to Cive the Giants their money's worth.
?mi evidence that it is spring time
near the Alamo, the early blooming
baseball season starts to-morrow,
when the Giants will play thi San An?
tonio Bronohoes. It is practically a
cinch that the Giant team will bo com?
posed nearly altogether of anxious
rookies, who are bursting to show
what they have. Also Manager Mc?
Graw is anxious to seo what they have.
This will be a big yoar for the Giant
kindergarteu.
McGrsw is optimistic over finding
some pearls In the lot. He recalls
various years in which the Giants de?
veloped three and four who were ready
to hop right Into the big league. It is
only a short time ago that the Giants
found Young, Kilduff and Baird hidden
in what they considered excess bag?
gage. Eddie Roush was developed in
one of these kindergartens, but why
continue on that line? It.would mean
numbering quite a big percentage of
the stars of the game to-day.
After the game Manager McGraw and
Judge Francis X. McQuade will be
guests of honor at a banquet given by
the city. The tail-end of a Texas
norther made the weather fairly cool
to-day, but the weather shark in this
neighborhood declares that real base?
ball weather will be provided for the
morning. It is hardly probable that
any of the veterans will be used. The
rookies all reported fit after spending
the off ?eason at basketball, gymnasium
work and winter baseball.
Larry Doyle put on his uniform this
morning and seemed to be as limber as
of old. Larry is not fooling himself,
however. He is a serious athlete now,
for he realizes that there is coming
upon him the time when he has to
worry over the game. The laughing
ono does not laugh much now. He is
calling on everything that he has to
come back for at least one more real
season and a few hundred thousand
New York baseball fans are praying
that he can.
v Tammany Young Cap
Many of the party are affecting the
Tammany Young sombre cap. This ar?
ticle of apparel has ^h_ width of the
Mexican snail cover, nut is cut along
the lines of a yegg cap. Tammany
Young, milliner for men, is the first
one to wear one in New York and in
the silent drama. Benny Kauff bought
one down here, and iporo people come
to see it than visit the Alamo.
Artie Smith, the Joe Tinkeresque
little infielder, and George Armstrong,
the native son candidate for third
base, will be watched with considerable
intentness in to-morrow's game and in
all games thereafter. Matty was con?
siderably impressed by Armstrong on
his first showing, particularly with the
way he acted at bat.
Horie, the belle of Avenue A, is an?
other youngster who looks as though
he wo^?ld be able to do some consider?
able driving later on. This born and
bred Now Yorker is the likely second
Btring first sacker. He will get lots of
chances to show whether he will move
from Avenue A to a flat fjpse to the
Polo Grounds. . !

[American Hockey
Team for Olympics
To Be Picked ?oon
PITTSBURGH, March 5.?The Amer?
ican hockey team to compete in the
Olympic games will be selected from
the players who compose the Pitts?
burgh, Boston and St. Paul teams, it
| was' announced here to-day. The
i rules governing the games provide
i that each player must be a citizen of
the country under whose flag ho plays.
! "When the National Hockey Com?
mittee met in Boston some weeks ago
to arrange for a team to go to Bel?
gium," said Sheriff William Haddock,
a member of the committee, to-day,
"it was decided that Pittsburgh and
Boston should play an elimination
series of six games, and the winning
team should represent the United
States in the Olympic games.
"We had not at that time received
the rules governing the contests, and
when they came, a few days ago, we
discovered that every player must be
a citizen of the country he represent?
ed. As a number of the Pittsburgh
players are not citizens of the United
States, we then decided to select the
best players from Pittsburgh and Bos?
ton, and to take additional men from
St. Paul.
"We will be entitled to a team of
seven men and seven substitutes, and
we want the substitutes to be just as j
good as the regular players, St. Paul
will be here to play Pittsburgh next
week."

To March
O festive month that ends the drouth
Of winter's non-elastic dope,
When base hits ring across the South
And pop-eyed Bugs no longer mope;
When there is something mare than junk
To fill the ever yatoning space,
And all this snow encrusted.bunk
No longer stares one in the face.
O Big League month of raw repute
Here's back at you, both aft and fore;
Come on, jam in the bush recruit
, And skid along unto the score;
What matter if the same old fluff
Brings back again the same old smear,
Come on and douse this winter stuff
And disinfect the atmosphere.
Who knows but that smoking the "Babe Ruth Cigar" imparts to the
"Babe" all needed essentials in the way of strength for the home run
industry? There are types of cigars that can change a man's entire
scheme of existence. When one whiff makes you think your hair is
burning, you can know that the kick is more than 2% per cent.
Hagen ?and Barnes
Hagen and Barnes, battling through thirty-six holes for a $1,500
purse, are merely signs of the times.
As this is only an exhibition match, its significance can be appreciated.
Golf has paid out fair returns in this country, but nothing up to the
?standard of many other sports. But the time has arrived when a golf
champion in the professional class can finish out the year with enough
bullion to carry on for a spell.
A meeting between these two is sure to-be a golf classic, of keen
interest to quite a throng of folks?several more than a million to be a bit
more exact.
Cohh Challan tr*?^
"Babe" Ruth has challenged the supremacy of Ty Cobb as baseball's
biggest drawing card this season, and it will be interesting to see how
Cobb responds.
There was a day when Cobb might have met the challenge with an
unstoppable rush. But Ty is no longer a budding youth.
This will mark his fifteenth campaign, and fifteen seasons at the pace
he started setting back in 1905 and 1906 are quite a spell.
Cobb is eight or nine years older than Ruth, and those eigh^/or nine
years are no light barriers.
Ruth starts the season as baseball's leading card. Only his inability
to slather the ball out of the lot will remove his tilted crown.
At the Edge of Spring
Driftwood, alien, vagabond,
And all you motley crew,
I hereby yield by humble gift

That frame the rover's code,
And all the luck a fcowp might have
Along a friendly road.
A golfer, playing through two feet of snow over the Siwanoy course
* short while back, took 86 strokes for the second hole. Whether he hooked
his tee shot out of bounds or missed a short putt is not known.
So far as we can find out this is a record for one hole. It's remark?
able in a medal round how muoh pep an 86 on one hole will remove from
the system. ' \
"The trouble with you writers," pens H. L. F., "is that you seem to
expect a lot of these prizefighters to act like sportsmen. If they were the
type you think they ought to be they would never be prizefighters or boxers
in the first place. What they do never jars me for I happen to know
exactly what most of them are. What difference does it make whether
Dempsey is a slacker or not if he happens to be the best prizefighter in the
world? That's all you pay to see him do." j
Tfiis view is frank enough. It may even be the correct one. But
isn't boxing too good a game to be'thrown overboard to the sharks? If
this country proves that Dempsey was a slacker should it then turn in
and make him rich when the same country has practically forgotten the
needs of its sick and wounded soldiers who were promised a square deal?
"I've seen some discussion lately about the hardest shot in golf,"
writes S. T. $. "The hardest shot for me is always the one I have to
?slay next." . ? ? -\

On the Court
Draw Also Calls for United
States to Meet South
Africa in First Round
By Fred Hawthorne
SYDNEY, N. S. W.. March 5.?Hol?
land has been added to the list of chal?
lengers for the Davis Cuz>, the chief
lawn tennis trophy of the world, and
the draw to decide upon competitors
has resulted in Great Britain opposing
Holland and the United States meeting
South Africa in the first round. ^
The above dispatch clears away some
of the mystery concerning the cabled
reports we printed yesterday, concern?
ing the challenges for the interna?
tional cup. Through some oversight
Holland was not mentioned as being
among the contenders yesterday, and
there is still no explanation as to why
France and Belgium will not be repre?
sented.
With Andr? Gobert and Max Decirgis,
two of the greatest players in Europe,
it seemed that France would have fully
as good a chance at the cup as the
British Isles. Belgium, too, has al?
ways ranked higher than Holland from
a lawn tennis standpoint. ,
However, the draw, as it stands, sim?
plifies matters considerably. Although
earlier reports stated that the prelimi?
nary matches would probably be played
in New Zealand, it is now believed that
the challenging nations will meet to
decide the supremacy in England, pos?
sibly on the courts at-Wimbledon.
This would do away with a great
amount of travelling, and at the same
time it would make entirely feasible
the plan of the United States to send a
representative team to England to com?
pete in the all-England championship
tournev at Wimbledon, beginning on
June 21.
Unless both South Africa and Hol?
land have been harboring some hith?
erto unknown geniuses of the courts.
America and the British Isles will meet
in the final round for the right to play
Australasia in the challenge round.
South Africa's best player, Aitkin, does
not class with our "first ten" string, if
we are to judge by his showing at
Wimbledon last June, when Watson M.
Washburn defeated him "by a score of
8?6, 6?8, 6?0, 6?0, in one of the
early rounds.
Providing the men named can make
the trin to England next summer, I look
to see' Johnston, Tilden and perhaps
Murray, Williams, Wallace Johnson
and Charles S. Garland on the team.
Personally, I believe Johnston and Til
den alone could clean up the prelimi?
nary matches between them and seri?
ously threaten Great Britain's suprem?
acy at Wimbledon.
While there will be a feeling of gen?
eral satisfaction among players in this
country because the United States is
to be represented abroad next summer,
it should be borne in mind that the
, taking away of foui*4? or five of our
greatest players just at the start of
the tournaient season here will have
a tendency to cripple the entry list in
all the fixtures up to August.
This will be a good thing for some
of the less prominent players, how?
ever, who will have their great oppor
tunity to annex some of the histori?
court titles. Perhaps certain of the
juniors, such as Vincent Richards and
Frank T. Anderson, will show to the
front, under the existing conditions.
The full returns on the number of
applications made by club's and asso?
ciations for the holding of tourna?
ments during the coming season have
not yet been tabulated, but everything
indicates that the playing schedule will
be an active one from early May until
late September.
I understand that the annual Sleepy
Hollow tournament at Scarborough-on
iludson, for the famous gold cups, will
be staged with all its old prestige this
spring. This was the tourney where
Robert Lindl?y Murray, fresh from
California, first made his spectacular
appearance in the East, dei*eating Hall,

Tiger Five Beat
Columbia Team
By 32-28 Score
Princeton defeated Columbia in a
fast and close basketball game at the
Morningside Heights gym la5,t nisrht by
a score of 32 to 28. It was one of the
best contests staged at the local gym
this season. During the firr,t half the
Nassau students had things pretty
much their own way and left the floor
leading by a score of 21 to 15.
In the second period the locals played
a much better brand of basketball and
gradually overtook the Tigers. With
. but a minute of play left and thn
| score standing at SO to 28, Opie, who
had been substituted for Legendre,
rang in a double counter and clinched
the issue.
