Yankees Overwhelm i

ShatVskey and Quinn Keep
Moran Tjaam From Scoring
Fewster and Ward Batting Heroes of Victory Over
Cincinnati; Ruether and Gerner Hit Hard by
American Leaguers; Ruth's Bludgeons Inactive
By W. J. Macbeth
MIAMI, Fla., March 16.?The Yankees turned the tables on the
world's champion Cincinnati Reds here this afternoon and slammed Garry
Herrmann's prides all over the tropics for a 9 to 0 shutout. \
While the veteran right-handed tossers, Bob Shawkey and Jack
Quinn, were simply toying with the best team in the National League.
Miller Huggins's minions were surfeiting themselves on a diet of south?
paw pitching. "Dutch" Ruether, hero of last fall's classic, and Ed Gerner
both were hard hit by the Yankees. In addition they were very wild in
spots, and the Yankees took occasion to place their many safeties where
they would do the most damage.
The Yankees collected nine hits,
while the Redij had to be content with
six. Chick Fewster and Aaron Ward
played brilliantly for the winners, and
each contributed a brace of timely
blows. "Ping" Bodie, who was stroll?
ing most all afternoon, weighed in
with three runs and a hit. The field?
ing was enlivened on both sides by
many sensational stops and a number
of brilliant catches.
J. Franklin Baker, the Trappe slug?
ger, is anxious to play with trie Yan?
kees this year and will report to Hug
gins in the near future if he. is able
to provide suitable arrangements for
the cai'o of his children.
Baker Anxious to Return
This information was brought here
by Colonel Huston, who had a long
talk with Baker in Maryland before he
reported here.
'"It is not a question of money," de?
clared Colonel Huston emphatically
upon his arrival this afternoon. "Baker
is anxious to play baseball this year.
He feels, and his friends feel, such
daily activity would relieve the men?
tal strain incident to the recent loss
of his wife.
"But Baker feels his first duty is
to his children, one of whom is ten
and the other two. He wishes to make
proper provision for them before he
thinks of returning to the diamond,
and he must be commended for the
uttitude.
"Baker was very frank with me and
I was frank with him. We shall be
pleased to welcome him whenever he
is ready to retufn and we will be con?
tent to wait such time as he can ar?
range his affairs to his entire satis?
faction."
The return of Bilker would assure
Huggins one of the most powerful hit?
ting aggregations ever assembled un?
der one management. Baker enjoyed
one of his best seasons in 1919. Though
well along in year-*, the Trappe farmer
always has taken die very best care
of himself. He should have several
more years of good baseball left in
him.
Yankees Aided by Errors
The Yankees got four runs in the
second inning after two were out.
Bodie walked and stole and Hannah
vas safe on Crane's fumble. Shawkey
ruck a true biow for his cause?a
-.lean single to center that scored
Bodie. Fewster singled to center,
scoring Hannah. Peck was fafe on
Crane's fumble, .Shawkey scoring.
Crane also fumbled on Pipp and Few
ter scored. With men on third and
? *. Ruether fanned the mighty Ruth.
\ wonderful one-handed catch by
? saved Ruether a lot of trouble
* third inning. Vick singled, with
- out. It was immediately after
Neale committed a robbery on
?'odie's low liner, spoiling a three-bag
; r. Immediately afterward Hannah
g?ed, but both runners were left
** en Shawkey popped to Ruth.
Again, in the fifth, aft?r the first two
had been retired, the Yankees scored,
this time off Southpaw Gerner. Bodie
? ? . Hannah both walked, and for the
? i,nd time Shawkey delivered a pinch
hit.
In the seventh, due largely to Ger
-*< r's wildness, the Yankees added four
?ans to their string. Gerner handed
? u1 four bases on balls, two of which
'orced run:* across, as Ward and Bodie
contributed timely singles among the
Bock of passes.
Ruth hit a long one on his first trip
'.ho plate, but Eddie Roush was
.. . , ' ??; deep in the palmettos and
ptured the" tall ? loft after ? long
-luise.
Fewster juggled on Rath just long
?-rough to put the first Redleg on
Pipp's corner, where Shawkey caught
him napping on the second try.
Colonel Huston arrived from New
York in time to see the second battle.
He expects to stick to the club during
the rest of the training Season.
Colonel Huston, by the way, looked
just like an ordinary tourist to the
usher who hustled him out of a box in
which the colonel 'planted himself upon
arrival. When it was discovered who
1ho stranger was a chair was quickly
rustled for the half owner of the
Yankees.
"Greasy" Neale robbed Ping Bodie of
a three-base blow in the third inning,
when he thref.v himself fiat on the
ground to spear the ball off the grass
tops. Xeale rolled over several times,
but clung to the horsehide.
Vick again broke loose will: a won?
derful throw on Daubert's long single
to right, which, nailed Ruether at third
base. Peek, who took the throw, shared
the honor.
Ed Andrews, an old veteran of the
Sain Crane vintage and now a success?
ful real estate operator of Palm Beach,
was over for the game. ile has charge
ot the entertainment planned for the
visiting teams at Palm Beach to-mor?

Robbie's Regulars

/?rot? a Special Correspondent
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 16..?
That the Dodger pitchers are fast
rounding into condition was evident
here this afternoon when four of Un?
do Robbie's ?dabsters yielded a total
of nine hits in the six and a half in?
ning game played between the Regu?
lars and Yannigans. The contest was
won by the Regulars by a count of 2
to 0. It was the second shut-out handed
to the Colts since the scrub games
were inaugurated, more than two weeks!
ago. _ ;
The winners bunched two of their:
rive hits in the fifth frame and scored,
both their runs. Al Mamaux was their
victim. Mamaux retired the first two
batters, but Joe Conlon started the
trouble with a single to center. The
pellet got away from Wallace Hood
and Conlon reached third on the error.
Olson drew a pass and the. double
steal was worked successfully, Conlon
scoring &nd Ivan advancing to second.
>:ois, one of the sensations of the camp,
drew a p'ass and Johnston followed
with a single to right which scored
Olson. Wheat ended the inning by
popping to Elliott, who covered second
for the Yannigans.
The Yannirrans" made only two hits
off George Mohart, who pitched the
iirst four rounds against them. Since
She training season opened this right?
hander has hurled twenty frames and
only one run has been scored against
him. That tally was made during the
game against the Yankees last Satur?
day.
In the even score of stanzas he has
been found for only ten hita. It is a
cinch he will get a chance to perform
at JEbb?ts Field during the coming
season. Mohart was relieved by Joe
Conlon, who is a southpaw. The Yan?
nigans made two hits off him in three
innings.

America''s Fastest
Ice Yacht Sinks
Before Flag Race
T|ED BANK, N. J., March 16.?
The ice yacht racing season
came to an exciting close to-day,
when the Jack Frost, winner of the
American championship pennant,
broke through the soft ico off the
steamboat dock here and sank to
the muddy bottom. Skipper Willlara
Buxton and sheet tender William
Dwyer were re. rued after a cold
bath. The boat was pulled out and
towed to shore without serious
damage to the craft or to the sail,
which was cut from a topsail of the
Vanit'e.
In. isting that a race be sailed for
the state championship pennant, al?
though warned that the ice was un?
safe, James Patterson, of the Long
Brauch Ice Yacht Club, started the
Jack Frost. The North Shrewsbury
Club commit ce agreed to give the
race and pennant to the challenging
club if the Jack Frost made the
twenty miles in the time limit of
1 hour 15 minutes. The Jack F rosit
has one les on th? state pennant. '

If you happen to recall the intimate natural history details you wik
also remember that the tiger which tastes human gore immediately be?
comes a man-eater for the remainder of his days. -
There has been some talk that the Cincinnati Reds have become
slightly puffed around the chest and head, but don't forget that last fall
they tasted something a bit more precious than gore
They had a taste of $1.17,1-67.68 being distributed as a world series
prize, which netted each highly pleased athlete a trifle more than $5,200.
The Lure of the Kale
The Reds know what it means now to gather in $5,200 each as an
October bonus.
This is considerably more than such stars as Ed Delehanty, Old Hoss
RadbourneJ Nap Lajoie and others drew for a season's work in the old
days. ?
It is moi*e than any number of ball players collect now for a sea
con's pay.
Fifty-two hundred dollars for playing eight games! It came verj*
near to being $5,200 for playing only six games. As it was, the pay
was at the rate of $650 for an hour and thirty minutes' work.
| The club that has enjoyed this thrill once is not going to let it
I blow without a struggle.
The Triumvirate
Cornell has in Courtney and Moakley two of the world's greatest
I trainers and developers for crew and track.
For some years it has been Cornell's desire to add one more wing
? to her establishment and make it a three-cornered affair.
It was for this purpose that Gil Dobie was brought to Ithaca. It
is Cornell's purpose, or hope, to keep Dobie on the job as a permanent
institution, a link with Courtney and Moakley, where football will be as
offlciently handled as crew and track. On the average, permanent insti?
tutions carry the greatest value.
In Five Fields
No wonder our aroused Uncle Sam is getting poised upon his toes
for the spring opening.
So far he has international affairs now booked for five different
fields, outlined practically as follows:
Golf?Vs. Great Britain.
Tennis?Vs. Australia.
Boxing?Vs. France (Carpentier).
Yachting?Vs. Great Britain.
Olympic games?Vs. the majority of the universe.
The golf wing is a three-cornered affair. First, there will be the
women's invasion and then the professional invasion of the United
Kingdom. This will be followed by a counter charge of British golfers,
j with Toledo as the main battlefield.
?The tennis and boxing affairs will not come to a head until later
I on in the year, but the others will be banked between May and September.
Of these five fields the United States of America seems to have the
! edge in tennis, yachting and the Olympic games. The boxing part of
! it depends largely upon what they award Jack Dempsey.
In golf Great Britain has the advance margin.
All in all, it will be one of the largest summers sport has ever known,
j as the domestic output will be fully as bulky as the international program.
The Legion and the Bonus
It should be thoroughly understood that there are a good many hun
I dreds of thousands in the American Legion who want no bonus from the
; government for themselves?who only desire a bonus for the wounded
, and the sick and those rendered unfit to earn a living.
Any boniyj that is voted should be turned over exclusively to this
list. The vast majority of those physically fit and able to work are
' content to earn their own way.

Pirates Awarded Pitcher
Claimed by Athletics
The dispute between the Philadel?
phia American League club and the
Pittsburgh National League club over
the services of pitcher Herbst was de?
cided by the National Commission yes?
terday in favor of the Pirates. The
Waterbury club, which had sold the
player's release to the Athletics, was
directed to return the purchase money
to that club.
This is the first decision handed
down jointly by President Johnson and
President Heydler since the retirement
of Chairman Herrmann.
The commission also decided that
pitcher Weinert was the property of
the Philadelphia National League club,
having been recalled from Reading last
fall under a private agreement entered
into with Manager Chivies Dooin.
Jump Record Set
By Walter Whalen
Invalid, Says Judge
Warren C. Fielding, a champion at
the running high jump several years
i ago, is of the opinion that Walter
Whalen, Boston Athletic Association,
I should not be given credit for breaking
the record at the national indoor games
held at the 22d Regiment Armory last
Saturday evening. Fielding acted as
chief judge of the event and" maintains
that the leap of 6 feet 3Vz inches was
accomplished after the regulation con?
test had come to an end.
After each of the survivors in the
final round of trials had had their three
1 chances it developed that Whalen and
Egon Erickson. Bronx Church House,
j were tied for first honors with a jump
j of ? feet 2'/2 inches, after each had
j failed to jump one inch higher. The
two attempted to break the tie and on
his second effort Whalen succeeded in
clearing the cross piece. This broke
Sam C. Lawrence's indoor championship
record of G feet 2~'s inches and is only
one inch behind the indoor American
record, also held by Lawrence.
According to Fielding, the contest of?
ficially came to an end after Whalen
and ?ricson had tied for first place
with 6 feet 2'/L> inches. The extra trials
allotted each man were to decide who
was the owner of first medal is Field?
ing's contention.
Knockouts Feature
Crescent A. C. Tourney

Of Statz Wins
For Rookies
Holy Cross Boy Bangs Out
Homer and Three Sin?

i -
From a Special Correspondent
SAN ANTONIO, Tex.v March 16.?
Aided by the slapping batting of Ar?
nold Jigger Statz, the young outfielder
from Holy Cross College, the rookies
easily.defeated the Regulars i-n a six
inning game at League Park this after?
noon. The rookies registered their
fourth victory over the first string men
by a one-sided score of 8 to 1.
Statz's contribution to the triumph
was a clean hom/ run drive, to deep cen?
ter in the firs? inning and a trio of
one-base blows, totaling four in all. ;
There is no doubt about this lad being :
a big leaguer* and in all probability he
will alternate with Benny Kauff in chas
ing fly balls in center field for the
Giants this season.
The rookies won the game by chasing
five runs over the plate in the first
inning, while Paul Johnson, the right?
hander, was officiating on the mound.
Johnson retired Chick Bowen, the first
batter to face him, but Bob Kinsella
made a single over second, and the fun
started.
Statz picked out a ball that he fancied j
and away the sphere went, sailing
high and far in the air. Kauff gave ;
chase, but was not fast enough, and the
ball dropped in front of him. It was
good for a complete journey around the
bases, Kjnsella, of course, scoring ahead
of Statz.
Lee King followed with a triple to
center. He scored a second later, when
Sicking cracked a single over short.
On singles by Armstrong and McGuire,
the California j^oun^sters, .Eddie also
pranced over the home plate.
The $40,000 southpaw pitching; arm
of Arthur Nehf worked the first four
innings for the rookies. Nehf per?
formed in midseason form and the reg?
ulars made only three hits and one run
during his stay on the mound. In the
second inning Kelly singled and reg?
istered when George Burns bounced ?
two-bagger to left.
After Nehf retired, Jim Garton, the
young left-hander from ?Tulsa, Okla.,
assumed the pitching burden for the
rookies. In the two innings that he
pitched Garton held the regulars to a
pair of singles. The youngster had
plenty or speed and a nice break to his
curve ball.
Harris Burfiend, the recruit from ?
White Plains, occupied the mound for
the regulars in the last three innings,
and in the sixth the rookies pounded
his offering for three more runs.
Lee King suffered a stone bruise in
making his triple in the first inning
and was replaced by Al Horie, the boy
from Avenue A. The hospital list in?
cludes Arthur White, Jesse Winters,
Colonel Snover and Virgil ("JZeke")
Barnes, a younger brother of Jess
Barnes. White twisted his ankle yes?
terday and will be unable to don hi3
uniform again for two or three days.
Winters and Snover are suffering
from sore arms, while the younger
Barnes is confined to his room with a
heavy cold.
The Giants will play a team of avi?
ators at the Kelly Aviation Field to?
morrow.

Joe Moore Captures
Another Skating Title
Joe Moore, of the Lake Placid
Skating Club, won the quarter mile
Eastern indoor skating championship
title last night at the Brooklyn Ice
Palace, and but for a fall at the half?
way distance would probably have
taken the two-mile handicap title as .
well.
In the shorter race Moore went to ;
the front early and set a whirlwind :
pace, gliding across the line in front:
of William Murphv, of the 181st Street
Ice Palace, and Bobby Hearne, attached
to the same club. .Moore's time was I
0:-13. In the two-mile event Moore,
starting from scratch, worked his way
to the front after catching the handi?
cap men, but just after passing the
mile mark struck a rough spot and
fell. The race was won bv Leslie Boyd,
of the Tremont Skating Cfub (20 yards'),
with Mike McLaughlin, Tremont (85
yards), second, and Hearne (35 yards),
third. The time was 6:08.

E. N. Smith., a freshman, headed the
Columbia rifle team in a match yes?
terday with Princeton by breaking 199
out of 200 targets. It was the year?
ling's first competition in a varsity
contest and his remarkable shooting
gave the Blue and White a sizable
margin against the Tigers. The final
score was 974 to 959, Columbia's mark
being only one point below the sea?
son's record made several week. ago.
Yesterday's triumph was the third

the fifth match in the in te recuezate
rifle championships, in which the New
Yorkers have so far made an impres?
sive showing. W. P. Schweitzer, with
198, was a close second to Smith yes?
terday.
