Kelly, Doyle, Capt. Fletcher
And Frisch Caver Infield
Chances Are That Same Line-Up Will Face Braves
Wheri the Season Opens; Game Goes Entire
? Nine Innings Before a Good - Sized Crowd
By W. O. McGeehan
SAN, ANTONIO, Tex., March 12.?In the first inning practice game
played by the Giants since their arrival here, the hardshell Armadillos
defeated the Enchillados at League Park, this afternoon before quite a
few inhabitants of this Texan town. When the official scorer was located
after the pastime it was learned that the Armadillos had achieved their
second victorv bv the marein of 6 runs to 2.
Playing against the rookies was the<
same team which will in all probabil?
ity start the 1920 season against the
R raves ?t the Polo Grounds next
month. Arthur Fletcher was at short
at the start of the proceedings, and
"Laughing" I.arry Doyle was stationed
at second base. George Kelly was on
first and Frank Frisch on third.
George Burns, the outfielder, will no
doubt again be McGraw's lead-off man.
He batted first to-day and was fol?
lowed by Ross Young. Frisch was
third, then came Fletcher in the
clean-up position. Doyle was fifth,
Kauff sixth, Kelly seventh and Snyder
eighth. With this line-up McGraw
hopes to win the 1920 National League
championship emblem.
Virgil Barnes Ponnded.
The Armadillos won the game in the
very first inning at the expense of
Virgil Barnes, a younger brother of
.Tesse Barnes. With two expunged in
the opening round, the regulars staged
a batting rally which netted them four
runs. The fireworks were touched off
by Frank Frisch, the Fordham lad,
who had a rather eventful afternoon.
Frisch rammed a long drive to
right and perched himself on second.
Fletcher made his first time at bat
for the year of 1920 notable by crash?
ing a double into right, Frisch ramb?
ling over the plate. Doyle followed
with a three-bagger to the same spot
and Fletcher scored.
Kauff kept up the heavy bombard?
ment by also hitting for three bases.
The elongated Kelly smashed a hit over
second and Kauff counted. Kelly, how?
ever, essayed to steal second and was
caught by Smith on a throw to Cooney,
who put the ball on the big first base?
man as he came into the bag.
The next run made by the Armadil?
los was manufactured by Frisch. The
third baseman lifted the ball over the
right field fence in the third inning.
It was the first time that the feat has
been accomplished by any of the New
York players.
The regulars' sixth and final run
was corraled while Shufflin' Phil Doug?
las v.as pitching for the rookies.
Fletcher Gets Around
In the fifth inning Fletcher singled
hnd went to second on Doyle's infield
out. Smith attempted to catch the
shortstop off second and threw wild,
Fletcher going to third. Smith next
tried to pick the captain off third. The
catcher's throw was straight and true,
but Eddie Sicking dropped the ball and
Fletcher raced home.
As the result of the struggle Frisch
is nursing a cut jaw to-night. In the
first inning Arnold Staat/., the little
outfielder from Holy Cross, cracked a
three-bagger to right. lie took a big
lead off third and Snyder shot the ball
???own to Frisch.
The play was close and in sliding
back to the bag Statz kicked his feet
up in the air. His left shoe struck
Frisch in the face and sent him reeling
backward.
The "Fordham Pride," however, con?
tinued in the game and later knocked
ihe ball over the fence. It was the
first accident among the Giant players
this year.
The Giants will play their second
exhibition game with the San Antonio
Bronchos to-morrow afternoon. Mc
Graw will start the game with his
regular team. Hubbell, Ryan and R.
Kelly are scheduled to do the pitching
for the big leaguers.

the following: Introduction of govern?
ing resolutions, dates and places for
trials and try-outs, preliminary and
final in all sports in which the United
States will be represented at Antwerp,
; Belgium; arrangements for collection
i of funds by private and public sub?

O'Doul and Ward Likely
To Earn Regular Berths
Youngsters Continue to
Star in Early Work;
Play Dodgers To-day
By W. J. Macbeth
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 12. ?
The Yankee Colts, by way of preparing
the regulars for the inaugural exhibi?
tion of the season against Wilbert Rob?
inson's Dodgers to-morrow, handed
Huggins's star cast a 9 to 3 trouncing
at South Side Park this afternon. The
youngsters simply made the old codgers
look like so many sand-lotters. They
took the jump at the start, increased
the lead almost at will and won breez?
ing.
This game not only substantiated
Huggins's contention that he has the
fastest second team in the big ehow,
but, further, foreshadowed a great deal
of trouble for divers and sundry regu?
lars, or assumed regulars, unless they
get a bigger hustle on than they have
?howii to date.
In all thai has been asked of them,
most of Huggins's recruits to date
have panned out far above the average
run of boys who came up from the
??ieks. Two in particular, who stood
?ut most prominently in the day's hap?
penings, have shown such consistency
day in and out that their virtues a?e
beginning to appear something more
lUDstantial than a flash. These play?
ers are Frank O'Doul and Aaron Ward.
Both Hard Hitters
It might bo considered asking too
much of either to displace a regular
?.-andidate in such a sluggish outfit as
the Yankees if these youngsters them?
selves did not appear exceptionally
tine hitters. But tney-have hit and are
hitting away beyond the springtime
dreams of even Huggins's renowned
fence smashers. And they are blessed
copiously with that precious gift of
rare speed, which cannot fail to charm
in a collection notorious for its slow?
ness of pace.
O'Doul is just about the fastest man
that ever wore a Yankee uniform. He
is as fast as Davey Robertson was
when he broke in with the Giants. Old
Bobby Lowe, who was with Detroit at
the time Cobb made good with the
Tigers, declares O'Doul can travel from
the slate to first base as quickly as
the ^Georgia Peach" ever was able t?.
sie. O'Doul's speed needs no further
?feeommeneratton.
O'Doul, who is possessed of an ex?
ceptional eye, seldom offers at a bad
tell and in the intraclub games here
has Wt almost .600. On top of this his
work in the field has been phenomenal.
' He start? with tho swing in chasing a
?y and plays a ground ball like an ln
ffelder. O'Doul can be just as great a
boll player as he cares. Whether or
not he possesses the Cobb temperament
and ambition remains to be seen.
OTta-al to-day delivered three hits in
?%?#? times at bat and was robbed of
another by Pipp's fine stop
Aaron Ward, throughout the train
lb? hero, has pl*y?d in the most ?sen?
sational fashion at third base. This
afternoon he contributed a double and
a ?Ingle, both olean, bard hits.
flpeakiog of recruits, Meuse! should
not be forgotten. He hit the ball wick?
edly into all fields. His first drive
went over the bull sign, but Bodie was
playing as deep as he would for Ruth'
and' nabbed it. This clout would have
carried into the left-field bleachers at
the Polo Grounds. Meusel got two safe
later on.
Shawkey and Thormahlen pitched
fine ball for the youngsters, but were
never forced to extend themselves.
Ernie Shore was hammered hard in the.
fourth. O'Dou!, Ward, Meusel and
Geiser delivered four clean hits off
Jack uinn before any one was retired
Against Brooklyn to-morrow Hug
gins will use the batting order of the
regulars as they lined up to-day except
for the battery positions. Ruel will
catch. Collins, Mays and Mogride
probably will share the pitching work.
Brooklyn's line-up is announced ns fol?
lows: Olson, 2b; Johnston, 3b; Myers,
cf; Wheat, If; Konetchy, lb; Ward, ss;
Neis, rf; Elliott and Miller, c; Mohart,

Hank O'Day has been here for the
past several days. Bill Dineen was ex?
pected on to-night's train, which was
reported several hours late. Dineen
and O'Day will officiate in all the new
York-Brooklyn battles.
The best Ruth got In the hitting
line wa sa sacrifice fly. As a conse?
quence his average has dwindled
to a meager .100. A conaignrrient of
Ruth special bata arrived last night
from Louisville, but Babe immediately
spotted them as of the 1916 model.

Veteran Dodgers
Whip Colts, 9 to 2;
Myers Hits Hard !
From a Special Correspondent
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 12.? !
The regular line-up of the Dodgers
displayed astonishing offensive power
in its easy victory over the recruits
this afternoon. Manager Robinson
hustled his athletes through eight inn- ?
ings of play, and the final score was
9 to 2. The veterans pounded out sev- ;
enteen hits, and are now ready for the i
hectic series with Battering Babe Ruth
and the Yankees.
Captain Zach Wheat and Hi Myers,
who reported yesterday, did not lose
any time in getting mto action. They
were in their customary positions in
the outfield, and each peeled off two
hits. The stick work of Myers, how?
ever, was more notable in that he made
two doubles. One of the wallops went
to the flagpole, and only fast fielding
by Hood kept the rap down.
Paul Beyers, a newcomer, who did
tho catching for the regulars, shared
the batting honors with the two old
boys. The youngster made three hits
and scored a run. One of his raps w_b
good for two bases. Jimmy Johnston
also banged out two hits.
Southpaw Sherrod Smith and young
Joe Conlon divided the pitching for
the winners. The left hander yielded
! only two hits in the first four innings,
' while in the second half Conlon was
tapped for four hits and two runs.
Jeff Pfeffer started in the box for the
Yannigans, butt gave way to John Mil
1 jus after he had been reached for
I four runs and two tallies. The latter
! was pummelled for thirteen hits and
1 seven runs.

Something over fifty years ago four or five ball players were caught |
throwing games. Their names were immediately made public and they j
were all publicly expelled. It has become quite evident that more than
one ball player has been nailed in the same way. Why not publish names,
crimes} and penalties, just as they did over half a century ago?

Sounds Like a Record
Dear Sir : In playing a four-ball match some time ago I drove with
a midiron from the seventh tee. The ball (a repaint) landed square in the j
cup on the seventh green. It took a bad bounce from the little iron gadget,
at the bottom of the cup, hit a rock, rolled down a hill, bounced from
another rock on to the eighth green and dribbled into the cup. My oppo- j
nents claim that I made the seventh hole in one and the eighth hole in 0. .
My partner claims that I made the seventh in one-half and the eighth
in one-half. I claim the open-and-shut bouncing championship of the world.
Kindly send trophy to the enclosed address. My favorite color is
I lavender. ' J* ROBERT STOUT.

The Passersby
Ten years ago there were approximately twenty ball players with
each major league club.
j ? This, if our multiplication is fairly correct, means there were 320 j
I athletes engaged in this profession in 1910. Meaning in the big leagues. J
! Of these 320 exactly thirty-six are still hanging on by the epidermis of
their teeth in most cases.
Within a period of ten years nine-tenths of those engaged have either j
; dropped out or skidded to lower pastures.
What other profession can show such a downward drift in a ten-year
span? There are times when the steamy athlete seetos to be a bit ava?
ricious, but upon studying these few statistics you can see one of the
main reasons why.
In his recent match with Jim Barnes at New Orleans Walter Hagen I
gave further evidence that he is starting 1920 at top ?peed. This season (
will bring the "open champ" his hardest test, for so far no home-bred j
golfer has ever been able to finish higher than fifth place in the British i
Open. Hagen proved again that his uphill stuff is still with him, as he
had to sink a twelve-foot putt on the thirty-fifth green to square the match
with Barnes. He still has three months left in which to get his game
moving at top speed, and if he doesn't overtrain, as so many American j
golfers have done before on the other side, he should make a first clasa j
showing among.the leaders, even if he doesn't quite arrive in front.

Colons Oppose
Radical Change
In Football
Adjourn Until Morning Af?
ter Five ? Hour Session;
Coffin Thrown for Los?
By Ray McCarthy *
After a five-hour session at the Ho?
ld Biltmore last night the football
rules committee had just begun to
warm up. Last night's gathering, in
tact, was a sort of preliminary signal
piactice. Time out was taken until
10 o'clock this morning, when the com
nittee will start the battle again, and
jy noon it is said they hope to push
sver at least one touchdown.
?E. H. Hall, of Dartmouth, who was
re?lectcd chairman of the committee,
-announced that nothing would be given
out until some time to-day. Asked if
anv rule changes had been made, he
replied in the negative. He said the
;ommittee had discussed many of the
suggestions made, but still had many
yards to traverse before the game
ivould end. Walter Camp, of Yale, in?
cidentally, was re?lected secretary.
Everybody on the committee except?
ing Clyde Williams, of Iowa, was on
hand. Besides E. K. Hall and Walter
Camp, Al Sharpe, of Yale, was there,
so were Alonzo Stagg, of Chicago; Carl
Williams, of Pennsylvania; Fred Moore,
of Harvard; Harry Williams, of Min?
nesota; Bill Roper, of Princeton; Lieu?
tenant Pritchard, of West Point; Paul
Dashiel, of the Navy; Lambreth, of
Virginia; Babbitt, of Haverford, and
the following officials: Nate Tufts, Bill
Langford and W. N. Morfce.
The kick-off was made at 8:15 p. m.
and the first half had ended at 1 a. m.
The feature of the session was the
presence of H. R. Coffin, Harvard, '94,
who appeared with reams of data to
support his contention that a certain
number of plays (160) would better
regulate the game than the watch. After
more than an hour's warming ub in
the halls outside the room where the
committee was in session, Mr. Coffin
was rushed into the fray about an hour
before time was called.
Coffin tried out his opponents be?
fore opening up in an endeavor to de?
termine the vulnerable spots and then
let loose a brilliant assortment of
theories, excerpts, from games, cull?
ing? from newspapers hither and yon,
and other phamplets.
Coffin's best play was that his system
would eliminate stalling. He had
gained a little distance when one of
the committee made a flying tackle
with the refutation that stalling could
sill be used. Mr. Coffin admitted it
could to the extent of four plays.
When another declared the "plays'
plan would make the contest longei
than a cricket match. Coffin's loss was
reputed to be half the distance to the
goal line. In brief the substitut?
failed to score.
It is not likely that the committee
wiH make and radical changes in the
game. It is conceded that two possible
changes may be announced to-morrow;
the numbering of players and the scor?
ing of a goal from touchdown.

Why be greedy?
A friend on a recent
shopping tour bumped
right into it?with her ow**
eyes saw a price marker
jolly up a price full 20%.
We think the public wiil
agree with us that such
stunts are poor policy, even
though some merchants
may sincerely disagree on
the ground that increased
replacement costs giv*j
added value.
Our own policy is to add
just a normal trading profit
! to actual cost, and that fair
price remains, unless re*
\ duced, until the goods are
; sold.
We never mark up goods
; once in stock.
Sometimes this results
in having two prices for
goods of the same quality]
\ but what of that ? If at thJ
lesser price one's size is
still available it helps re]
