LOCAL BASEBALL TEAMS IDLE -GOSSIP OF THE BOXERS-LAWN TENNIS HUGGINS DISPOSES OFYOUNG YANKEES ?Rav French to Vernon and Pitcher Clifford to Jersey City Club. PITCHERS NOT TN TRIM This Is the Principal Reason of the Hard Hitting: of Rival Teams. By \V I I.I. I A M B. HAW A. Two of his spring crop at Yankees v/i-if disposed of by Manager Muggins yesterday, and now he is down to twenty-eight men. He has until May 15 to get to the twenty-five player limit. Ray French, intieldcr, a fast lad with much cayenne and more nerve, has been Kant to Vernon. Cal., tinder optional fl?|wnifnt. and .lark Clifford, the pitch es? who did most creditable pitching for the Yanks in th? South, goes to Jersey City, under the management of Pat r>onovan. Clifford was with Rochester last year, and is a cool headed, experi enced workman. French Is likely to be up on the main line for good some day. Me went to Japan with a tram of pro i<-?.sionaUi last winter. The twenty-eight still left include Frank BsUer, always a conscientious, pi'an living player of model habits, who as yet has not been reinstated by Judge r.andis. If. perchance. It is decided that Baker, because of having played against or with tneligihles last year, is not to be reinstated, (he game will lose a high ? lass performer: one who Is a stranger to booze and tobacco: one who manages to stagger along without the use of I profanity in his conversation: one who goes to bed early and gets up early ; one who never browbeat an umpire or spoke ill of a fellow player. a;id one devoted to his family, an athlete upd ? gentle man. I Mussina still has around Tom ,>nee h.in, pitcher, and Chicken ilawk?. Tom Connelly and Walter See-Cap Chrlsten .?? n. outfielders, each with virtues which will eause Hug a den I of guessing be tween now and May II. ? 'hories Stoneham, boss of the Giant*, ssld yesterda e thought Pep Young would he ready > play in about a week, snd It is likely 1 >b Roth of the Yankees will be out at least that much longer. Both of the right field gents have water on the knee. Meanwhile Curtis Walker is hitting a high pace for the Giant* 1 and Young's job is b< ing well taken care of. The problem for McGrsw is what t.i do with Walker when Young returns. Brown is doing well In centre field, and M< Graw wants him out there because he j 1? a right hand hitter. The first double header in New York will be on May -'8 when the Uhletlcs play at the Polo Grounds. They'll be | hack on Mjiy 8 too, but that is Sunday. Jack Wilson, Ban Johnson's new um pire, w ho doesn't allow the fact that Brooklyn was his original habitat to hilght his llfa, will be a valuable addi tion to the arbiters' clan if he keeps on as smoothly as he has begun. Tn his same behind the hat laat week he fol lowed pitched balls In expert style, had some of Bill Klem's mannerisms in stoop ing and swaying to watch the orb's flight and handled the Job In a compe tent. businesslike way. * John Heydler. National T.eague head. ti:> tone West for s two weeks tour of the Western time. On Sunday he will attend a meeting of the advisory council, consisting of himself. I.andis and John soil. in Chicago. The hard hitting going on abundantly In the big leagues just now is not an uuusunl condition for this time of yesr. It often happens when teams come up from the South and strike cold or wet weather or both. It means that a1 goodly share of the pitchers aren't In trim yet. or that they have h*d set backs after being in trim, or that the curve ball around tlie knees Isn't work ing yet. The Brooklyn pitchers haxe h< en hit harder than they have any lii'*ii>e n he when they're Oil edge, anil Arthur Xelif Is the onlv one of the Giant;-'' box men who has shown the condition which means a pitcher at his hev?t. At the Polo Grounds there hse been effective pitching and with dark r'a*s to help It. Most of the clubs have seen one or more of their moundmen take a i humping, although In three of the first four games at the Polo Grounds there wa.? pitching which dominated the hat ten*. Mays was In rare form. Rommel went In August form In the second game and the third wss an out and out pifi-her< battle between Plercy and Harris. At ft dinner to Trt* ftpea.ker in Hous- j ton recently Doak Roberts, president of the Texas League, presented to the guest of honor th? first contract hp e\er aigned. Robert* had the contract In )i!.? w?fe all the year* he wa.' head of the Houaton club, and promised Speaker he would present him with the instru- | ment If he ever ceaae<l to be a club | owner. "11. wa* a very naaful paper to me In my dealings with piayera," Robert* told the writer in Shrevcport. "It was the best argument t had In convincing young fellows coming up in the spring that their salary Ideas were a little atcep I'd show them the contract Speaker aigned and bow much he sirred for. and then I'd nxk them If they thought they were worth mora Just breaking in than Speaker had been. That eeldom failed to change their Ideas and hrlns them to a more reasonable frame of mind " MM THKRN AS'OCI ATIO\. At Nashville?

THE LISTENING POST; , , a By Walter Trumbull " Copyriyiit, 1?!1. by 'lhe New Y?rk UtnulM. A BIG EVENING. THK INTERNATIONAL SPORTING ('LI B entertains ro-uivbr. Anion* the gueals will be Mr. E. Lewis. Mr. Lewi* is perhaps best known by his title of champion wrestler of the world. As evening dross will be the order of the occasion. Mr. Lewis will appear in decollete. He will gracioutdy accept an Introduction to an tui known wrestler, whose social standing is vouched for by Tex O'Rourke and lack Curley. The unknown's wrestling ability is vouched for by Americus, an able judge of such matters, who publicly proclaims that Mr. Lewis had better watch his step, as otherwise he may find blmself bouncing upon bis beau. The unknown is a collegian from one of the largest universities In the Last and is said to weigh 220 pounds. Mr. I^ewis has agreed to stretch him out flatter than a billiard table in twenty minutes or !<*ss. but the youth's backers say that Lewis underestimates the value of a university education. MUCH EXPERIENCE. The culhtjian may possibly plan to confuse Mr. Lewis by addressing; him during the bout in Latin or Greek. If so it is a vain hope, for Mr. Lewis has wrestled practically every language there is, and most of them were at least half dead languages after the application of his justly famous head lock. He does not fear Finn, Russian, Greek or the noblest Roman of them all. From a. technical standpoint the most important event of the evening will be between Jim Londos and Renalo Gardini, who' are to wrestle for 'he world's llght-heavywelght championship. There will also be bouts between boxers from the Army, but those who stated that Navy boxers would appear seem to have been all at sea. No Navy bouts are scheduled. ON THE JERSEY SHORE. The announcement that the Dempsey-Carpentier bout will be held some where in Jersey City hardly comes as a surprise. When Rickard found that he could not hold it on this side of the river it was only reasonable to sup pose that he would pitch his arena an close to the other bank as was pos sible. Dempsey left New York yesterday afternoon for the health farm owned by Freddie Welsh, at Summit, N. J., which makes it look as if he was pre paring for more or less active training. Carpentier's cable to Rickard yesterday shows that he will bo in this country the early part of May, and his training quarters will be ready for him when he arrives, so both contestants soon will be at work. The grounds that appear best suited to Rickard's requirements in .)ers>\v will not permit of the building of an arena tha^. will seat many over 50,000 spectators. That means that the structure he erects will hold more fans than the Polo Grounds, but thousands less than the Yale Bowl. Tt also means that every seat Is apt to be filled, and 50,000 persons packed around a space the slse of a boxing ring form quite a considerable crowd. DIFFERENT TEMPERAMENTS. A fine judge of golf and golfers, who has seen both Miss Leitch and Miss Sterling play, said to us yesterday that while the Englishwoman would have the advantage of home surroundings the American girl would have the ad vantage of temperament. Miss Sterling is apt. to play her best against strong opposition, while Miss Leitch sometimes weakens a little If things break against her. Nevertheless. Mis* Leitch is not very likely to wea&en in the coming eomj>etition. As far as experience goes, she Is an old campaigner, having played the ancient and honorable game since she was about ii years old. She It; a, very sturdy type, with strong hands and v.lists, and she will be playing over ground that Is familiar to her. If Mies Sterling should win she will have performed a very remarkable feat. Carl May* has permitted just one run in eighteen innings. If there Is a more effective pitcher in the country to-day than this same Carl we have overlooked him. Under the driving of .lohnny Evers, the Chicago Cubs seem to be travel ling fast. They treated the Pittsburgh Pirates with scant courtesy yester day, in ppite of the fact that the Pirates were their guesls. Firat thing you know they'll be claiming the flag. Well, it never does any harm to be in there claiming?as long as you can show something to back it up. Weather reports from Detroit would indicate that the games scheduled there for the next few days would stand a better chance of being played if they were transferred to some point nearer the equator. Snow never helped either a baseball game or the attendance yet. ? _ . ? X Flv* games out of eight postponed on account of the weather add only to the batting average* of the waather man. Bughouse won the second race at Havre de Grace yesterday, and we'll wager that some of the bettors lived up to the winner's name.
