Miller Huggins Arrives From the West and Says Big League Managers Are Having Hard Time in Signing Players 1 a UNSIGNED PLAYERS ' GIVING TROUBLE Miller Ilng-glns Soys Thoy Are , noldlngjDff UnuBunlly Lato This Winter.

The aljrnlne of baseball players Is ulv ib.a btir league managers a good deal of concern this winter. Miller HuBBlna,) Yankee manager, who arrived from the West yesterday, ald so bluntly. Hus- Ring la here n week ahead of repotting llmo In the South for tralnlnff and will i put In some busy licks between now and tp.cn llnlne up his players. He expects to havo everybody In lino In due tlmei and Isn't creatly disturbed, but does nay that managers generally are experienc ing "considerable" difficulty In getting signed contracts. It Is an unusual winter In that regard. "With soma of my men It la Just a ques tion of seeing them, which will be done next week, and with others It may be the training season before they come 1o terms. All clubs are having more or less trouble. I never saw n year when M many player's have waited so long Without signing. It'a a hard year for clubs that tray, and there's no use over looking the fact, and the main reasons are the high cost of living and a success lul year last year. "Still, things will shape themselves up all fight. 1 haven't much doubt about that Our club will bo fair with its players and the players must be fair with us." Huggins didn't say who his unsigned ones were, nor yet did he name all who lad signed, but he did name Ruel and Hoffman, the catchers; Bam Vlck. the outfielder, and Herbert Thormahlen, the Ditcher, as among the signed. Walter PJpp and Derrlll Pratt havo holdover j contracts ana JacK quinn signeo. mi tell. , Duffy Lewis writes that he Is on his way to Jacksonville via New Orleans, whero the horses are running, to he Is all right. Huggins had a caller yester day In D. J. Murphy, a. young catcher from tho Toledo club, who will bo taken tiouth by the Tankoea. The Yankee manager did not enthuse over or seem to be particularly Interested In the Intelligence tlfat Armando Mar- sans, tho Cuban, was in trim ana willing to play again. "No contract will bo sent to Marsans, and ho won't be taken South," Huggins said. Ills JL'mpIre Staff for National. The National Lcacuo will have Its tiggest umplro Btaff this year. "President Hcydler has had word from hotii cnaries lllgler and Ernest Qulgley that they will, be back In harness, and now he has ten little umpires standing In a line. He prays It won't come-obout that "some one threw a bottle nnd then there were nine." Besides Rlgler and . Qulgley there aro Emslle, Klem, O'Day, McCor mlck, Harrison, Hart (Bob, not Bill), Moran and Fyfe. The $13,000 check for the Yankees, their share of tlft wdrld's series "gate" for finishing third. Is still in transit or somewhere. Herrmann told Huggins on Wednesday that he had sent It. Hug gin's didn't como from Cincinnati by aeroplane or anything faster than a railroad train, such as generally trans ports the malls, but he's hero ahead of tho check. Tho Detroit Tigers will be the earli est big league team In the field. Aln smith, their catcher, already has ar rived nt the Macon training camp. Man ager Jennings will be there early next week, ns will Jack Coombs, who, accord ins to the news despatches, bears the sonorous and high sounding title of "pitching Instructor." Tho full beauty of that title will not be felt until some bellhop roams through the hotel paging "Mr. Pitching Instructor Coombs" In loud and resonant voice. For years Grimths has had Chief Coaching Super visor Altrock on his tram, but he hasn't fcten known aa such, whereas the Giants. at up with the times at all, have no ether title for their third base coach than the proletariat's familiar and somewhat flippant one of "traffic cop."

Joo Stecher, world's wrestling cham pion, last night In the presence of a great throng that packed the Seventy-, first Regiment Armory, defeated Jim London, known as the Greek champion, after a desperately contested bout last ing 3 hours and 18 minutes. To tho as tonishment of the onlookers Londos, who weighed but ,180 pounds to 20S by Stecher wj was handicapped also In tho matter of height, reach and ex perience, gavo tho chamnlorf one of tho hardest battles ever seen on a pad. Twlco the Qrcek by superhuman efforts extri cated himself from tho dreaded body scissors with which Stecher won tho tltlo from Caddock. The bout had proceeded more than an hour beforo Stecher first adjusted his flexible legs to the body of his opponent nnd It wan Ave minutes before the Greek wriggled out of tho rib cracking loci:. When Stecher got the hold the second time It took the Greek seven minutes -to get away from tho lock, and It was evi dent that ho had been considerably weakened by tho experience. Tho men had been wrestling two hours when Lond)3, who had shown a disposi tion to rough it with the champion, slap ping Stecher in the face and coming close to a strangle hold on several occa sions, suddenly butted tho title holder In tho nose, bringing blood. For the first time during tho match the Imperturbable Stcchor, who had smiled but onco In an hour, showed anger. With a friap like a panther ho seized tho now weakened Londos and (lung him to tho canvas llko a bag of oats. Falling on his opponent Stecher put on a half nelson and, astride of the Greek s body, sought to forco his should ers to the mat. Londos struggled furl ously, but the champion shifted tho hold to a double wrlstlock nnd slowly but surely prc3ied tho Greek's shoulders to the mat, the time of tho hold that pro duced tho fall being 2 minutes and 14 seconds. The great throng of Greeks which had been yelling like mad to encourage Londos, then filed out of the armory vowing that the Greek would surely win If tho men mot again on the pad. Lon dos not only Bhowed wondefful strength and speed, but the greatest courage. Ho Is an acrobatic chap and the manner In which ho broke away from several dan gerous holds and bounced to safety like a rubber ball aroused the greatest en thuslasm. The Greek got one hold that made nutters look serious for tho champion at one time. It was an arm lock and a partial head scissors, one l$g being pressed across the champion's throat Stecher had a hard time getting out of that predicament and he was consld crably weakened by tho ordcaL Stecher was too skilful and too strong for the Greek, and on the .occasion when he obtained hla first body clssors he per mitted tho Greek to get on top by way of strategy. Then h manoeuvred till hegot his legs locked about Londos's body. A . most astonishing Incident Inter rupted the bout at Its most Interesting point. Stanislaus Zbyszko, looking big ger than Colosse, climbed Into the ring to be Introduced to the spectators, but the crowd howled so loudly he was glad to mako his escape. It Is the first time In history that a championship contest has been halted In order to Introduce a wrestler not In the bout. The semi-final Introduced Salvator Chevalier, champion of France, who wishes to meet Stecher. Chevalier Is a giant, and he subdued Jack Dawson with a half nelson and arm lock In minutes and 31 seconds. HIGH LIGHTS AND SHADOWS IN ALL SPHERES OF SPORT Or DANIEL.

Tho suggestion In 'Wood rut between u wa.n such l tha eate. question would havo tho goal from touchdown kicked from the 25 yard UtAllSiKSS1 iiiiu ius a neia coai bv a dron klrfc. Th n wnnM mwm that both elevens would lino up In scrimmage formation and that tho goal would bo tho work of tho cntlro team Instead of the ono man affair which tho goal from touchdown la under tho nrosent rule. Several variations of the suggestion havo como up. Vfo would like to seo tho goal kickod from a point In lino with that at which tho touch down was carried over. According to Fred Moor.o, Harvard's representa tive on tho rules committee, ho has been Instructed to ask for a rule whereby tho goal would bo kicked from tho 20 yard line, and always from In front oi me goal posts. Harvard also would glvo to the side Kicking tho option of using cither tho droD or tho nlaco kick. Tho adODtlon of tho sugges tion would do away with tho foolish kick out and would ellmlnato tho man otner objections to tho ono man goal from touchdown. ' Harvard's second suggestion, that tho distance between the goal posts bo reduced from 18 feet '6 inchos to 14 feet, In order to mako It more dif ficult to kick lleld goals and to discourage tho practice of scoring by a urop or piaco kick, is not likely to meet with approval, we oro not awaro that it Is dcslrablo to make it any harder to kick field goals. Tho tendency in football still la toward opening up. tho game. Wo havo not reached that point, ai wnicn it nas becomo advlsablo to revcrso ana begin to ouua oacn to tho straight game. Wo do not believe that wo ever will get to that point Tho moro open football' men see the moro of It do they want. It lies with the coach to strike a hnppy medium for his team. It Is Interesting to note that while Mooro has been Instructed to mako a fight for tho two suggestions Bob Fisher, tho Harvard coach, believes that tho rules should stand as they are. Fisher, Bill Roper and other roaches whoso" opinions have been obtained on tho suggestion to discard tho watch and play football by plays say that the proposition is foolish and that Its adoption would hurt tho game. "Tho proposed system would require a bookkeeper Instead of a time keeper," says Roper. "As for doing away with stalling by the team In tho lead, it would act Just In the revcrwj way. A team leading, with say only four more plays to go, would tako its four downs and end the game. Tho Idea is no Idea at all." So 6ay wo all of us.

Brooklyn Institute Fire Defeats Massaclinsetta Aggies, 13 to B. Tratt Institute's basketball team of Brooklyn defeated the Massachusetts Agricultural College quintet Inst night Upper Stand at Polo Grounds to Bo Topularlied. It. is true that tho prices of bleacher and grand stand eeata at tho Polo Grounds have been increased, but tho owners of tho Giants and tho Tankces have made a move which almost compensates in their opening up of tho upper stand. The elimination of reserved seats In tho upper stand and the dictum that the prices shall bo similar for both sections of the grand stand will bo a big help not only on the big days but op every other day of tho season. HVo hope that tho opening up of tho upper stand will result In the popularization of the seats there, for bo it known that thero Is no place from which to seo a game llko a place In the upper stand. It is human naturo to attempt to get as closo as possible to the field of action. But In baseball and football the closo up view is not tho best Tlmo and again wo havo seen crowds In tho Yalo Bowl Jam themselves into tho lower seats and leave row upon row at the top vacant and thero la no place 'like the last top row from which to watch a football game. Tho new scale of prices will mean that thero will be only 65 cents' dif ference between the plutocrat In a lower box scat and tho lowly grand standcr. This, of course, should be hailed as -a healthy sign of democratiza tion in baseball, what? Went Aboet Dally Wetlt With Snowsboes. Xo.

Metropolitan followers of boxing who went to Jersey City on Thursday night to seo Jimmy Wilde in action camo away with tho feeling that they had seen the greatest fighter Ensrfand yet has sent to these shores a more clever little fellow than was Billy Pllmmer, a better rounded out boxer than was Jem Drlscoll when ho showed here against Abo Attell and by far the hardest hitter, for his weight, that Britain has had. Many a British boxer has come hero heralded as a world beater. Bombardier Wells, Owen Moran. Pllmmer. Pedlar Palmer, Ben Jordan and several others have shown here, but they all lacked a punch. Moran was one of the best men of his vmlcht hoTinir vet has seen, but he was not a punishing fighter. Wells showed that ho could box with tho best of them, but ho could neither hit hard nor tako a hard blow, particularly If it landed on his Jaw. But Wlldo Is. the all around starfast clover, shifty, a ring general and a hitter who strikes while set. on flat feet and strikes hard. It was a pity that ho was not sent against a man of real class rather than against n. tvro whose onlv recommendation was nis willingness 10 mu puiwu. porhnns t Wlld had been nitted against a moro dangerous opponent he would not havo staod out in such bold relief. But even then a meeting with Lynch, Herman or Mooro would havo meant that Wlldo would have had to give away far too much weight to make the contest a real test and a genuine sporting event ,, ,u In the light of what happened .on Thursday night It is all the more Ccnlorablo that Wilde permitted himself to be talked into his Western trip . ...aa a a.
