STRENGTHENING OF OUTFIELD DEFENSE IS YANKEES' CHIEF PROBLEM WEAK OUTFIELDING IS GLARING FAULT Fewster, Miller and .McMillan lfave Played Disappoint ingly at Camp. MAY CALL ON 1500KIES llnggins Sees Good Keason for Betaining Haines, Skinner and (Jrijrsby. By CHARLES A. TAYLOB. Spei ial Dispatch to Tjib N'kw York Hekai.d. New Orleans, La.. March -0.?The Yankees arc not solute to have a walk- | over in the coming American l^easrue ; 1 ennant race. Their pathway is more apt to be strewn with rocks than roses j r,nd no one one appreciates this fact j more than midget Manager Hugglns. The disastrous series with the St. Louis Card- , inals. just ended, revealed several glar ing defects in the Yankee machine, arvl Manager Hug set out to-day to remedy tiiem. He recognises he has a hard task ahead, but is confident that by the time tiie long series with the Brooklyn Dodgers o<Hs under way his team will -how con siderable Improvement. The great problem will be to keep I the Yanks near the top dur'-.ig the first , live weeks of the summer campaign, or < until the return of the two exiles, Capt. Kabo Ruth and Bob Meusel. In order la accompli h this the outfield as at , present constituted must take a decided brace or some new combination of outer i gardeners must be effected. In the two games with the Cardinals the Yankee fly chasers gave a wretched in count of themselves. Of course there U sonic excuse for McMillan, the in fieider, who Is being given a trial in . light, but there Is absolutely no alibi for sm li a veteran as Elmer Miller, unless ;t be that the strain of long service is beginning to tell. Fewster in left has j also been a disappointment, but Chick j never mmle any bones about the fact 1 t lat he prefers to perform In the Infield. , Of course with the strong array of In fl lders now under the w ing of Hugtcins, .Fewster must curb his desire for a ??hange. and then too his presence is liemarxled In the outfield until the Babe j ,.eta Into the game. O'Duul Valuable Hitter. It becomes evident dally that Lefty O'Doul is too valuable a batter and ?use runner to he left out of the lineup, although Huggins Insists that Lefty is lated to pitch and do nothing .else >'Doul on his part also wishes to con fine his activities to th<- box. The Yanks .to badly In need of a good southpaw*.! and. barring Jim Jolley. O'Doul appears f > be the only left handcr In camp who i omes anywhere near meeting big league rMiulrements. Rut Lcft^' would look s\ve? l in one of those shaky outfield po sitions, afxl It would not 1m- surprising if Manager Hug were forced to change his plans regarding the coast boy. Uegarding the precariousnoss of the situation in the outer works Htiggins an-1 ' i iinced this morning that Hinkey I'.lines. Camp Skinner and Denver Grlgs by, all outfielders, would remain with, the Yanks indefinitely. As for Oliver Tucker, the slugging outfielder, dug up l>y Scout Boh (Hikes, over In Georgia, he seems to be in hard luck. The New Orleans Pelicans are determined to kid nap this player, and Hugglna inflmated t >-day that he would probably leave Oliver here. So the first fell swoop of the old ax is in the Immediate offing. Other players whom HiiRgins Intends to introduce to Broadway are Jim ? Jolley and George Murray, pitchers. Norman McMillan and Olcnn Killlnger of gridiron fame. This will not mean that all these will be retained through ? ? the season, but with the exception ? f IvlllltiKer this will probably prove the i aae. Killy will doubtless be farmed to some minor league club it one can be c ;.nd willing to take over the football hero'* contract. Well, it is a tlokler of a mess con fronting the midget manager and the iKhting Colonels, but of such Is baac ix. II made. Speaking of the Folonels, it must be confessed that Jacob Ruppeit ran out i' his hired hands to-day, failing to show up at the practice. Corporal Egbert Burrow was also missing without cxcuse. Pitchers in Good Trim. The practice consisted of the usual 1 itting and fielding work, hut the chilly ?wind caused the players to bo careful of ? heir arms. As far as the pitchers are i < otieerned, there is not a sore wing In ] bunch, ami Hug wants this happy ration to continue. Walte Hoyt, who received a somewhat : i vere drubbing from the bats of the t'ardinals yesterday, was the hardest working pitcher on the field to-day. : Walte did no throwing, but Bob Connerv had the younirster chasing long flies for about a half hour. Carl Mays and Bob Shawkey have been nominated W do the twirling for ifi" Yanks In to-morrow's game with the . Pelicans. It will be the first game of the i season for these two boxmen. I Mike Kelly's St. Paul nine, which wllJ meet the Yanks on Wednesday at Bo galusa, trounced the Pelicans on Sunday by :? scor ? of 10 to 3, so the llugmen better pay strict attention to business when they call on Mike's lads.

Phil Douglas Will Join Giant Squad To-morrow Holdout Pitcher and McGraw Are Near Agreement as to Contract Terms?Club Frolics With Army Team From Camp Travis, By IMMEL. Special Dispatch to Tub New York IIeuai.0. I San Antonio, T?-x.. March 20. I'hil Douglas and John McGraw apparently 1 are near an agreement as to what the j Shuffler ought to be paid for pitching for the Giants this year. After an ex- I j change of telegrams between the hip ! righthander and his manager to-day I ? Jim Tlerney announced that in response j to Phil's request lio had wired trans portation to him and that Douglas 1 would leave Birmingham to-morrow morning, lie Is expected In camp on Wednesday. 1 Douglas is both the only holdout and j the only absentee, and his failure to report has not been followed with any | ' particular l-aptuies on the part of Mc- 1 Graw or any of the players. There is no | dodging the fact that the Giants need ; Douglas?need him particularly if he can work himself into the form which he showed against the Yankees last Octo- | ber. The Shuffler usually Is slow In j rounding into shape In the spring, but 1 there is no telling what he may do I in a fortnight. This afternoon it was expected that the Giants would play one of those I 1 elusive and ever disappearing games j ' with the local club of the Texas League. Hut the contest failed to materialize ' again and the New Yorks put on a sub stitute shindig with the Twentieth In fantry from Tamp Travis. In so far as serious baseball was concerened the "i afternoon's production was about as big as the tongue of an undersized humming i bird. According to our score the Giants | | made 20 runs and the army boys J. Itriseltall a la Infantry. Thr> infa i try men probably showed up about as well on the diamond as the Giants would have looked In a thirty 1 , mile hike in full marching order. But as ball players the soldiors proved splendid nikera. They charged and re treated, wont column right and column left and put on all the army maneuvers I except wall scaling. They did not have | to do that, because the New Yorks mane.ged to keep all their hits Inside the park. In the eighth nilly Cunningham hit a home run over the r\ ht field fence, but Gozey Dolan, imitating an umpire, called It a foul. The New Yorks made seventeen hits, hut that figure was no Index to the caliber of the pitching offered by three arms fllngers, for the Giants did not try very hard, nor did they always run , out their opportunities. They kept jamming into outs because they got weary of running bases. That army run was charity. Shlnners did a little Juggling out in center and let Chlsholm gallop madly around the paths for a more or leo? legal homer. Heinle Groh was the only Giant to ret credit for a four haijger. lie clouted the ball ro the clubhouse In the open ing Inning. Kelly tried valiantly to oblige the soldiers with one of his famous imashes over the left field fence, but the best ho could do was ? double. Dave Bancroft was among the bur- : esquers, but not as a Giant. He took ! i day off from shortstopplng and went 11 to relieve McGraw as umpire. He varied his duties with an occasional as <ist for the infantrymen, l^ater Holan ook up ihe work and gave an all tround exhibition of high and lofty umbling and Jnggllng with three balls arid an imitation of Sousa, while the iriny's fine banrl got in a great work out, an well as if a certain umpire on >ne of his bad days. There was much jul'fawing. It wad rollicking fun really, j in the ninth inning one of the Giants ; ook to tlie clubhouse, and there was no j >utfield. Groh was missing from third lase too, but these omission* did'not ?ecm to matter. Muusel was discovered tear the bleachera reading i newspaper. The soldiers were represented by this j ineup: Jones, second base ; Doyle, cen- I rr field; Whltledge, shortstop: Shroyer, I ?atelier; Kemp, third base; Chisholm. ] ? ?ft field ; Kanna. ritrht field ; Van Stud- ' liford. first base; Waldon, i'osey and Hughes, pitchers. Of the six hits cred ted to the Twentieth three went to ] >hroycr. Albertson pitched for tliC Hants. Cunningham covered short and proved ! "dniself a fine center fielder. Krisch spent the day at the hotel. IK 'xpnets to play against the Jndianapttlis 'iub on Wednesday The Huoslers also I Mil be here on Thursday, and on Friday j he Giants will play San Antonio, or at j east so the schedule reads just now.

Jim Tier ">ey will offer them a Saturday morning late. I>ew Wendell, who came down her? with the Giants, to-day signed with the <an Antonio club.

The Chamber of Commerce Is trying to stage i big dinner to him and h farowell to the Giants. The Judge spent to-day at Mobile visiting the Browns. "I think that Shinners will be the astest right handed hittrr in the Na tional Lcuruo getting down to first liase." said Krisch this morning. "1 :hlnk that h?> will be even faster than Hornshy."

Hie National Leaguers walked awav with a 13 to 3 victory, and in doing so pounded four minor league pitchers for a total of eighteen base hits. Among the wallops were double* 'oy Schmandt, Johnston and Wheat ami horn* runs by Crane and Johnston. Incidentally. Johnston, in ad dition to his pair of extra base hits, slammed out two singles. Morstman, l.ons, Deberry an<l Miller were the hurlera who performed for the mjnor leaguers, and Cadore. Mamaux and Bishop each pitched three frames for the Dodgers. Cadore. who starte 1 the game for the National Leaguers, was not scored on. In the* third round the Colonels filled the bases, with none out, tut a doub'e play spoiled their chances to score. In the fifth frame Combs, batting for Lontr, drove one of Ma niaux's fast ones over the left field fence for a home run. and it was the first tally made in the series by the American Association club. In the first frame the Kob.ns bunched t':ree hits and scored as'manv runs off lioi'stman who one# was a member of j the Cardinals. The hits w< r-- made by Johnston, Myers and Schmandt and the Kobins were aided in scoring when Kallenger fumbled Wheat's grounder. Schmandt's blow was a two bagger to left and sent Wheat and Myers across the plate. In the second inning singles j by Olson, Tom Griffith an.i Johnston resulted in the Robins' four'h run. In the fifth frame the Robins .scored j four more runs. They resulted from a pass to Tom Griffith, a two bagger by Johnston, singles by Wheat, Myers and Crane and Hank Deberry's sacrifice.

Joe Human of Chicago received the judges decision at the end of a twelve round bout witll Midget Smith in Madi son Square Garden last night. The con test was disappointing. It was marred by the ChlcagoanV clinching tactics, which not only made the encounter & slow one, but prevented Smith, a natural dphicr, front doing hi* best. Burman also offended in the matter of hitting low. He landed on Sni'th below the belt in the seventh round with -mfflcient force to cause the recipient to louble over The referee started toward the men to ascertain the extent of Smith's* injury, but the little fellow vaved him away and went on fighting as though nothing happened. Burman landed a blow low on one other occa sion and that combined with his clinch in* apparently was not taken into ac count by the judges in computing i?ointa Smith was the aggre.ss?r throughout and forced the pace. Burman showed he is the most expert clincher in the boxing game. He employed this style of tactics in a way to neutralize Smiith s efforts and keep himself out of danger. , Judging by their performances Johnny ] Buff is not in any special danger from either. . The contest between Pepper Martin | of Brooklyn and Sammy Seiger of th? Ka.it Sid'-, ended in the third round, when Setger fell to the floor writhing with pain and claiming to have been hit low.

THE LISTENING POST ^ By Walter Trumbull 0 Copyright, 19C2, by The Xew York Herald. THE ROOK IK SLUGGER SPEAKS. Before I romc I heard 'em rail These big league pitchers ?. 'mmentc. Well, I can hit 'em, one and all. And when I Ian against that ball They put a new board tn the fence. They put a new board in the fence, And any one who ain't aware That as a slugger I'm immense Has got a dome that's awful dense. I'll tell the world that 1 am there' I'll tell the world that 1 am there, Hut when I smack the ball a mile The manager don't seem aware That as a eloutcr I'm a bear. He laughs and says, "Just wait awhile." He laughs and says, "Just wait awhile; .4 week or two," he says and grins. "These easy marks you hit a mile All somehow change their pitchin' style After the season once begins." BASKETBALL. This has been a big basketball season. Basketball is obtaining such a hold upon thia country that it is seriously interfering \vi' h the Hot Stove baseball league. A lot of the dopesters who used to spend the winter in discussing the past and figuring out the future of the nation..! -.ow go to see the various teams who shoot a ball at the basket instead of trying to put one in the stands. In the summer time they always count up to nine, but in winter they now are stopping the count at five. We never did know the finer points of basketball, but it was nut our fault. Years ago we went out with some other football undergraduates to give the basketball team some practice. When it is considered that we did this by request we always have thought that small consideration was shown us. They put us off the floor just as it was Retting interesting. It seems that they had been a good many y?ars building up rules for that game and we had busted all of them in less than five minutes. As, close as we ever were able to figure it out anything short of murder went, but you had to do it by rule. DUNDEE. It seems a great pity that Dundee hasn't a little harder wallop. 1-Ie is a great little man, with astounding speed and endurance and a heart of oak. Any timo that he appears in a ring the lans know that they are going to get plenty of action for their money. Mickey Walker, the New Jedsey welterweight, who looks to be of cham pionship caliber, is one of Dundee's warmest admirers. Sitting at the ring side the other night he said, "Dundee lias as many friends outside the ring as any boxer alive. He is the soul of kindness and generosity and, if he ever needed them, there are a lot of people who would go to the front for him." There is one queer thing about Dundee. He is the official bouncer of the prize ring and yet he seldom puts anybody out. Of course Dundee's favorite stunt is to bounce off the ropps, but he also bounces any time he is hit hard. It is like smacking a tennis ball. Comrade, little comrade, that I used to know of old. Long ago you sailed away; but waiting here it seems .1.1 if, in the visions uhieh viy eager eyes behold, 1 can see you beating back across a sea of dreams. Comrade, little comrade, trill you bring your ship to shoreT Yott were joyous as the sun and tender as the rain. Will you clamber from the deck to play with me once more? It's been lonely waiting for your sailing home again. Great excitement was caused by a hunting and trapping expedition of Connie Mack's at Eagle Pass. It was thought at first that he had bagged a baseball player. Marcel Dupre playod, as a memory test, all of Bach's works. It took , Mm t??n concerts to do it. Now, we know fans who can play every game of a world's series over again at one sitting. f Bouts of the Week. TONHiHT. WEDM ENIJA Y. I ommonwealtli Sporting; C'luh? r?*lime A.

America's chances for staging the Olympic games for some years to come are very remote. This information was revealed by Frederick Rubien, president of the local assoi/lation of the Amateur Athletic Union, at a meeting of tha: organisation nt the Hotel McAlpin last night. During a discussion of the qualifica tions of certain Americans for the luter natlonal Olympic Committee Mr. Rubien said that despite the fact that Ix>s Angeles is building a stadium with th? idea of holding the games there, the Europeans arc against coming to this country. Mr. Uubien explained that the feeling abroad is that this country has so nnieb money and Europe so little that Ameri cans can better afford to iwy'the travel ing expenses. It ap]>ears that Los Angeles hns gone ahead in a venture that has received *10 encouragement from athletic authority in this country, ssld Air. Rubicn. Th>' attitude of the Europeans toward holding the fixture here will be a sur prise to all amateur athletes ana devotees of track and Held syort.
