New Owjtanr. March 14.?"To him
that hath shall he .given." The Scrip
tures have It right. An though Babe
ITulh were not. already staggering nn
dcr a huge hurrtan of fame. Manager
Jlillcr Hugfcrlns announced thin morn
ing that ho had named the mdghty
mauler captain of the Yankees for the
coming season.
That Hug hR8 displayed Judgment
?rid discretion In making this selec
tion cannot he denied. There is no
player In the game to-day that puts
mo?-e of himself?brawn and brain?
Into the national pastime than the
r>iibe. Bptrlt and personality
ehonld make Mm a mnch more Inspir
ing leader than the esteemed Roger
rvrklDpaugh, whom he succeeds.
The Yankee* are far from being a
wide awake team and If the Babe can
ln itlll a little tlfte Into his mate? It will
not only strengthen their game but prove
a welcome change for the faithful fans
who like to see lots of "per>" sprinkled
phout the diamond. So more power to
the Babe tn his new Job.
Manager Hugglns did not tntlmate
who would be acting captain while Ruth
In taking his five week vacation, but
It Is presumed that the midget will do
the captaining as well as the ronnaglng.

The faff end of a tornado which ewept !
through Oklahoma and northern Tjoulsi- 1

ball yard hero Just as the hired hands
?were engaged in batting practice. Carl;
Yi.iya had finished the tossing.up and,
Wnlte Hoyt was starting to get warmed
itp himseir when the clouds opened and
ft nt everybody under the grandstand.
The players waited half an hour, dur
;nsr which some of them engraved in a
i-:(ti'h as catch ran wrestling bout, but
a ; the rain continued to fall heavily
they all scurried to the shower baths.
Rob Shawkey, George Murray and Big
?Tirn .Tolley, who felt the necessity of j
loosening up 111 rowing muscles, did a
!: t ? le curving under the stand with Fred
llofmann and Killinger as their catchers.
Thin was most, unsatisfactory' and Ilug
:;m Anally ordered these ambitious ones
!'> the clubhouse. The manager also j
stepped the wrestling much to the dls-:
irust of J. Franklin Baker and Phil
.v tienck, who were contestants in the
.stellar hout. Baker Is certainly get
ting young and reckless.
The had weather prevented the prac

1ms and the Rookies, but. the teams will
meet for Hie first time to-morrow. Trig's
ii?..'itinns are to loan his vet'-ran twirlers
t-> the rookies and force the regulars
to i lay behind the pitching of .folley,

r ro-il battle out of the affair.

Giants Swamp Soldiers
in a Baseball Marathon
Ncorc Ends 18 to 1 Against
Camp Travis?Kelly Polos
Home Run.
By DANIEL.
Spfrtal Dispatch to Thb New Yobic HhilO'
San Antovio, Tex., March 14.?
George Kelly cracked his first hotne
run of the year against the neajly
decorated left field fence at League
Park this warm and sunny afternoon. ?
But even that more or less momentous
and meritorious feat could not be
taken seriously in a burlesque in
whicb the Giants ran a small portion I
of our well known army as well as
themselves ragged, and at the loudly
applauded close showed a marjrin of i
18 to 1 over the nine from Camp ,
Travis.
While the affair with the soldiers
lacked serious and competitive fea- i
fires, It came as a welcome relief I
from the hard work which had been
the rule, and gave eighteen of Mo
Oraw's athletes a good workout. The
New Yorkers started with all their
regulars except Heinle Oroh, who got
the afternoon off. Heinle sported a
stiff neck as the result of a little cold,
and was spared the marathon over the
regulation distance
Oroh was not the only Giant on the
hospital list, which has n way of get- '
ting recruits Just as soon as it dis
charges old patients. No sooner had .
Johnny Rawlings returned from the
hospital this morning than Cecil Causey
took his place. The pitcher is suffer- i
ing from r mild form of erysipelas
similar to which sent Rawllngs to bed.
Il?nn Visits Rone norlor.
While Cecil Algeron, the Rouge, took ;
to tits cot. Rill Ryan, right handed I
fllnger of parts, paid a visit to a local i
bone doctor. The doctor asked Bill if
he wanted his head examined, but Ryan j
informed him that he craved treatment i
only for his arm. It developed that I
Ryan's poor showing ft gainst the White i
Sox last Sunday, which cost the Olants
the game, was due to his having Injured
his arm early in the contest. Instead
of telling IfcGraw about it and re
tiring, Rill continued In the box.
The bone doctor declared that two
of Rill's tendons had crossed over a
nerve and Chat while the situation was
not serious It would he some time
before he would be able 1o throw a ;
few fast ones. Ryan was out working !
this afternoon, but he did not allow
himself to work too hard.
While the soldier boya accepted a '
fine tanning, they felt that the purpose j
of their visit had been accomplished; i
they had their plcttirea tnken with i
MoOraw, Kelly and the other world
champions. They wisely took time out
after the first Inning to have thst
done before some of the regulars hail ,
died laughing and then continued to
fling the ball nil over the lot. when they
weren't chasing it to the fences and
the club house. The Olsnts hit at any
?old bull end did .ill sorts of stunts
on the bases, hut with all that could
not prevent their scoring eighteen
runs. ?

and a double by Lieut. Kohloss. giving
them their lone tally in the third inning
off McOloughlin.
Kelly -was not the only long clouter
of the I>augh. Casey Stengel turned the
home run trick, too. In the fifth, when
he poled the Innocent and much abused

the fence. Frank could J?ve mnde the

risibilities were ?o tickled that he oould
not dash with hie customary verve,
For the benefit of rosterlty and ad

The CSiants got fourteen hits for
twenty-five bases and never tried. The |
soldiers were charged with six errors, j
and we felt very charitable toward the
Army. The score by Innings and the
rest of the summary may be found some
where near the middle of Jos Miller's
famous joke book.
.Tohn McGraw acted as umpire for j
about three innings and then, with his

I hey are quite convinced that the poilu '
lioxer never had a chance at the cham

Kearnr la ready to take advantage o'
foreign Incredulity,
The prosnc if; of 3 Dempsey-Wills bout
are not so bright Different Governors
and boxing commissions have shown ;i
disposition to forbid the bans of the
fight, being published. In spite of the
emancipation proclamation and the gal
ant deeds of Private Jerry Donovan of
FlrFt Massachusetts Infantrv dur
i'ig the match to the sea. it sterns to he
the concensus of official opinion ttiat the
colored heavyweights should not have
their constitutional riaht to be .worked oti !
t ic chin by Mr. Dempsey.
Even Gov. Kdwards "of New Jersey 1
has shown his disapproval of the bout bv !
limiting the prite of admission to all
Hghts in his State to $15 per admission. ,
nils will discourage even the most pfcil- i
anthropie promoter from hiddine for
the Dempsey-Wills bout In .lersey. When
Harry Frazee, sequestered at Hot
? prings, Ark., heard that Gov. Edwards"
had crossed him with the low admission ,
he withdrew his offer of $350,000 for
Dempsey snd dived Into the pool. ,\t a
.'"J." h?ur he had not even come up for
nilihoim Ont of It.
Tom Gibbons eliminated himself abso
lutely a8 a candidate for th? loser's end

We saw an $8,000 picture
the other day and, being
clothiers, naturally fell to
translating its charm into
our own language.
Why, here, we said, is
the answer to why they're
so keen for our golf Nor
folks!
The picture was typical
of perfection in modern art,
just a bit of landscape but
exquisitely handled, full of
impressions that lingered
pleasantly.
Whether it was the
blending of tones or the
splashing of colors or?no
matter, it was the same
sort of rugged, outdoo'
touch that lends charm to
the Scots' fine tweeds,
homespuns and cheviots.
A great showing fo
Spring!
None for $8,000!
