Hooper Again Blocks Way '
To Victory for New York
Veteran Outfielder Assisted by Rookie Catcher Is
v Causing Downfall of McGrawless Giants?Bar?
row's Young Pitchers Hold Nationals in Check
From a Special Correspondent *
AUSTIN, Texas, March 24.? Once more Harry Hooper stood
between the Giants and victory in the fourth game of the exhibition
series with the Boston Red Sox, which had its setting at the capital of
Texas to-day. This time the veteran outfielder was assisted by Mickey
Devine, Barrow's young catcher, in sending McGraw's men down to a 5
to 3 defeat. The series is now even-Stephen, each team having won two
games.
The exhibition this afternoon did'
not start until after 4 o'clock and was
called by Bill Brennan, the umpire, on
account of darkness in the first half
of the ninth inning. With Hiller at
bat in the ninth, Brennan called for
tome new balls from Matty, who was
in charge of the Giants. Matty was
forced to throw out several other ones
that were unfit for duty. Bill exam?
ined the balls and then suddenly called
the pastime and chased the athletes to
the clubhouse. This decision was ac?
ceptable to all those present except
Tim Hendrix, a former member of the
Yankees. *
Tim was the first up in the inning,
and be smashed the ball over the
center field fence. By calling the
game Brennan deprived the outfielder
of a homer and the Red Sox of an?
other run. But Barrow did not mind
losing the run, as his team achieved
victory and made the series two-all.
Brennan, however, is keeping out of
Tim's path to-night.
Smith Doubled at Plate
Offensively and defensively, Hooper
helped to crush the Giants. In the
last half of the second inning Earl
Smith was on third base and Arthur
Nehf, who pitched the first five in?
nings for the Giants, hit a long fly
to right. Hooper caught the ball, and
then by a perfect peg to Devine nailed
Smith at the plate.
In the third inning Devine singled
and was forced by "Cuddy" Murphy,
the college boy of the Boston troupe.
Hooper was the next batter, and he
lifted the ball over the right field ;
fence, Murphy scoring ahead of him. j
In the fifth Hooper singled to right,
went to second on a passed ball, and
came in when Nehf threw McNally's
bunt wild to first.
Devine made three hits, a two-bagger
and a single. His rap in the eighth
scored Scott from second. Barrow ap?
peared to have picked up a promising
young catcher in this boy. Murphy, who
pitched the first five innings, is the
former Dartmouth football player.
Brennan Umpires Alone
Brennan umpired the game alone.
Barrow said this morning that he was
not anxious to have the series called
off and that Brennan could umpire the
remaining games with Dick Nallin.
Nallin will join the teams in New Or?
leans Saturday. How Bill Klem will
spend his time ?with the players nobody
knows. Klem will reach San Antonio
to-morrow.
Ross Young played his first game of
the series this afternoon. Matty had to
insert him into the batting order, as
Arnold Statz, the Holy Cross youngster,
bumped into a pile of lumber during
the fielding practice. Stazt hurt his j
shoulder and will be unable to play for ?
three or four days.

I Burleigh Grimes
Gets Arm in Trim
To^Tackle Yankees
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 24.?If
confidence counts for anything another
Brooklyn victory over the Yankees is
in. Uncle Robbie had his aggregation
out at Barrs Field for about two hours
this afternoon and although the weather
was favorable, rain threatened to put
a halt to the practice session, the :
athletes went through their drilling j
like a gang of promoted school boys.
The winning spirit has not escaped j
even the most remote rookie in the
camp, and every one is confident the
Yankees are in for another beating to?
morrow afternoon. Every member of
the Flatbush squad was full of ginger
as Uncle Robbie sent the players
through their work-out. Four or five
hurlers pitched to the batters and
many long clouts were registered. Bur?
leigh Grimes was one of the twirlers
Robbie used on the mound, and although
the spitball artist has been in the camp
less than a week he is beginning to
respond to the practice sessions he
has gone through.
As Zack Wheat is the only left
handed batter in the present Brooklyn j
batting order, Uncle Robbie is trying i
to make a turn-over hitter out of his ?
new find, Bernie Neis. The youngster1
was ordered to hit from the wrong side
of the plate this afternoon, and ho
showed promise of developing into &
good left-handed batsman.

Yankee Regulars Having Hard
Time Winning Games in South
Even the Rookies Con?
tinue to Trim Them,
5 to 3, in Last Innings
By W. J. Macbeth
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 24.?If
j the Vankea are unable to beat the
Dodgers in the continuation of the
spring series to-morrow, then Huggins
should challenge the visiting newspaper
men. His club is badly in need of the
moral stimulus of victory. The Dodg?
ers have steadfastly denied him this
! and the second team is practically as
| tought for the regulars.
A somewhat badly disarranged sec
! ond team this afternoon took the
j Yankee regulars over the hurdles to
the tune of 5 to 8, using pony bat
| teries to turn the trick. The regulars,
by the way, have won only once in
? five starts from the seconds and that
i time, 9 to 8. The sod busters almost
[ caught them with a seven run rally
after the veterans scored six times in
their half of the inning.
The colts came from behind to-day
and by bunching hits with miscues,
scored a pair of runs in each of the
seventh and eighth innings. The regu?
lars never were able to pick up more
j than one counter at a time. They got
I off in front as a result of Meusel's
i double beginning the second. Bobby
| advanced on an out and scored on
; Bodle's clean single. The colts
! knotted the count in the fourth on
O'Doul's three-base soak to deep left
| center, followed by a passed ball.
Gleich Singles in Pinch
The regulars scored again in the
i sixth after some confusion. Pipp
singled off De Vitalis, but was forcee
when Ruth grounded to Ruel. "Babe'
stole second but was trapped on th?
lines when Biemiller got Meusels ho'
grounder. Ruth delayed the oU'
long enough to give the batter sec
ond. leich hammered big Meusel acrosi
with a clean single to center.
The colts hopped Thormahlen fot
two runs and the lead in the seventh
Biemiller was safe on Ward's fumble,
and Ruel singled to left. Biemillet
scored and' Ruel took third on a wile
pitch. Geiser flied to right, and Rice
struck out for the third straight time
Murphy shot a single to left, scoring
Ruel.
The regulars tied it In th? eighth
because of battery wildness. De Vitalis
passed Ward, the first up. Aaron stole
second and took an extra base wher
Murphy chucked to center field. Vic.
made a. great catch of Pipp'a lin?
41-Tt. ward didn't take advantage ?i
a good opportunity to score. It looked
mighty serious for him when Ruel
made a pretty running catch of Ruth's
tall foul, but Meusel saved him a call
by hitting safely to left.
The youngsters cinched it in the
eighth. Vick tripled to left center and
scored on O'Doul's single to the mid
garden. Pratt forced" O'Doul and then
died stealing. Biemiller, however, was
hit by a pitched ball. On a prettily
executed hit-and-run play Ruel singled
to right, sending Biemiller to third.
The pair got the run on the double
steal.
Meusel put up a-strong game at third
base, even though he played a slow
hopper from Geiser's bat into a base
hit. Bobby was prominent in all of
the runs of his side.. He -scored two
of them and drove in the other.
Biemiller showed a fine hook slide
into the plate when he scored in the
seventh. Hoffman got the wild pitch
back to Thormahlen in time, but the
runner avoided the southpaw's stab.
De Vitalis has a pretty fair assort?
ment of pitching wares, but he will
have to learn to hold up runners bet?
ter if he hopes to get very far in fast
company. With men on bases he wound
up like a dollar watch.
Duffy Lewis to-day accepted terms
for the season of 1920 and pronably
will si^n a contract to-night. Colonel
T. L. Huston left to-ni^ht for New
York on a business trip.

Some Day
The trail around the earth ive know
Is but a step or two at best;
We take it as the winds may blow
And finish for a tnvilight rest.
But some day we shall find beyond
The kills that hold the sunset's gleam,
The spoor of each lost vagabond
Who's found the Everlasting Dream.
"Carpentier," runs one comment, "could never last against a rugged
opponent such as Dempsey or Fulton is." Another one of those things
which look to be plausible, but remain to be proved. .
"Punch" suggests that if Dempsey won't come to London to fight
Carpentier, Messrs. Rickard or Cochran might move London to Dempsey
for the fight. Why not? By allotting London .; fifteen-week vaudeville
engagement in America all expenses could be assured.
Unraveling the Tangle
Once in a while the old-fashioned coincidence still reports for duty.
A day or two ago we received this letter: "Won't you please get a definite
statement from W?alter Camp covering the rule changes that govern
clipping from behind' and 'protecting the forward passer?' " About
thirty-five minutes later we met Mr. Camp on the street for the first
time in nearly four months.
"Clipping from behind," he said, "only refers to clipping down a
man who is ostensibly out of the play. It would not affect diving into ;
a runner from behind for purposes of legitimate interference. If an
end is going down the field to tackle a punt receiver, there will be no
penalty for diving into this end and putting him out of the play, no
matter whether you dive at his heels or his toes."
"The rule that is supposed to protect the forward passer has been
wrongly interpreted by. many. It will not prevent any tackier from
diving at or tackling a forward passer while he still holds the ball or
while he is in the act of getting rid of the ball. It is merely a protection
for the passer after he has completed the play and is, therefore, out of it.
After he has passed the ball to his receiver down the field there is no
sense then in knocking him down or tackling him."
"Briefly, these two regulations were put in to break up unnecessary
roughness, not to weaken either the attack or the defense."
This statement covers the situation thoroughly.
Ninety per cent of the crookedness and trouble in boxing comes from
the managers. Suppose Jack Dempsey had been managed by a sportsman
or a far-thinking adviser in place of Jack Kearns?
Of course Mr. Kearns had to have some one around who could pro?
vide for the expense of his high-powered perfume. We never thought
of that.
Revised Medley
Now cames the spring-time of our discontent,
When out of bounds the far-struck ball is sent,
And kale we drop as putts refuse to fall *
Would pay at least a section of the rent. <
L. H. D.?This will be Cobb's fifteenth campaign in the polite society
of swat.
Jock Hutchison won the Florida East Coast championship. A short
while later at Asheville he won out in 43 and then picked up after more
trouble on the last nine. If this quick shift can beset *a star professional,
why let a 7 and an 8 in succession turn your soul into a livid flame?
"White Sox as a club demanded big raise over last season." On the
theory that they might need some extra change to offset the world series
collection that doesn't look any too promising just now?
We haven't heard the name of Carpentier's moving picture so far,
but it will very likely be labelled, "Fists Across the Sea."

MIDDLEBURY, Vt? March 24.?The
Middlebury College track schedule, as

National League
Head Denies
. 'Charges' Exist
Will Welcome Any Evidence
Ex-Cub May Give as to
Gambling in Baseball
John A. Heydler, president of the
National League, ?n a signed state?
ment replied yesterday to the threat
of Lee Magee, formerly a member of
the Chicago Cubs, to "explode the big?
gest bomb in baseball history." Mr.
Heydler said no charges were pending
in his office by or against Magee, and
that he would welcome the receipt of
any evidence from the player as to
gambling conditions in the National
League.
Mr. Heydler's statement, which was
sent to Magee's attorney, R. S. Alcorn,
follows:
"New York, March 24. 1920.
"In the press of yesterday is pub?
lished an interview with Mr. Magee,
.which reads as follows:
" 'Next Saturday I shall issue a
statement setting out both sides
of my cases, and I shall also ex?
plode the biggest bomb in baseball
history. I have decided to burn
my bridges, and then jump off the
ruins?to shake the game from
stem to stern.
" 'If I am to be barred from
baseball I'll take some others with
me, players whose reputations are
supposed to be pure and unsullied?
yes, pure as level track since 1906.
I'll produce a few cancelled checks,
interesting letters and data?to
sum it up. If I fall I won't fall
alone, but in a considerable crowd.
""They talk about a check of
mine that came into the possession
of~the National League and about
a confession they ss-y I made John
Heydler. All right, those papers
will be supplemented by some
others, and that interesting stuff,
and I will not fall alone.'
"No charges are pending in this
office by or against Mr. Lee Magee.
If I understand the position taken
by him in this interview he insists
that charges have been made against
him by some one; that they have to
do with gambling, and that he will
expose himself and drag others into
the matter with him.
"If there are any others implicated
in the matters to which Mr. Magee
seems anxious to plead guilty, the
more quickly he names them and
gives proof of their complicity with
him or* others the better it will be
for baseball. It is not necessary to
wait until Saturday or any other day,
as I say to you how that no atten?
tion further than this reply will be
paid to the matter unless Mr. Magee
produces evidence implicating others
with him or showing them to be
guilty of wrongdoing in which he
took no part.
"On the production of such evi?
dence the action of this league will
be prompt and effective.
"Yours truty.
"JOHN A. HEYDLER."
Mr. Heydler further authorized this
statement:
Certainly more than 99 per cent
of the ball players in this league are
honest and are-a credit to their pro?
fession. We do not intend that the
1 per cent of undesirables, if such
exists, shall attach a stigma to this
honorable calling and so bring the
game itself into disrepute.
Whenever a player falls short of
the high standard of sportmanship
required of him in the leading ranks
of his profession, then this league,
and each of its clubs, reserves the
right to say to such player "We do
not want you." This is not only our
privilege but our self-imposed duty
as the representatives of this na?
tional institution of baseball.
Nor do we consider our powers
limited in such matters to be con?
fined to dishonesty or insubordina?
tion; but we include all questions of
gross carelessness, indifference or
other conduct of the player that may
be regarded by the club or league
as prejudicial to its interests.
This is not a matter of law but a
matter of principle, upon which pub?
lic confidence in the game and its
methods has been established. This
principle the National League will
strive to maintain at all costs and
hazards.
In furthering these principles

veloped our rainproofed

there never has, nor ?rill there ever

shall welcome and shail encourage
the production of any evidence or
information from Mr. Magee, or any
other source, that will aid in prose?
cuting this work of ridding the sport
of any and all undesirables, if there
now be such in our ranks.
