Feature Harmony in I

i Baseball fans hear a lot about har
t ' mony these days. Whenever a good
! team gets down in the nit about mid
season, the alibi is always about the
- I same lots of quality, but laclc of har'
mony. Noless than a half dozen major
i league clubs are- going to work on the
"harmony" thing this season, and lh
some cases it would seem the "har
mony" is going to be asked to lake
i the placo of quality or class.
'., One of the latest entrants In the
j' "harmony" stake is the Philadelphia
.. ' club in the senior circuit. Gavvy Cra
i vath, with what was generally con
ceded to be a mediocre crowd, started
spring training at Birmingham abso
7 lulely content and happy because there
I were no loggerheads on the outfit and
everybody was ready and willing to ac
I lually exert himself to put the Phils
ft on the race. Maybe Cravath has found
Sslf the key to success in the handling of
the Quaker crowd, for with ".Dots"
Miller, Pauletto, Bancroft, Rixey ,Tra
grcssor, Cy Williams and a crop of
really promising youngsters, it would
beeui he had sufficient class to show
! something worth while.
1 Then the Pirates are entered In the
k "harmony" stake, loo, George Gibson
I took the helm that was formerly (
I j! handled by Hugo Bezdek, and although
I jf he does not seem to have an impres
I H sivo roster with him at Hot Springs,
II Q "Gibby" has the crew acting like a
1 1 family of sweethearts and "playing
I (1 their heads off." Toward the close of
I jl the 1919 campaign the Pirates were
frequently accused of having soured
D , on Bezdek. If such was the case, they
II , will get an entirely new deal this
I spring.
I The Boston Bed Sox are entered, too.
I Frazee says he let Ruth out because
I j the big fellow was a "crab." He. part
I V ctl with Mays for tho same reason he
I I: said. When Ruth was tagged and sent
I jj along to New York, Frazee said Bar
H p row could do more without stars, but
IL I1 with harmony harmony, than he could
jf do with a dozen Ruths. With such a
HI classy field of starters in the "Har
Hj mony Special," there should be some
It grand baseball in the majors this sea
son. The fans will be pulling for Cra
Vath harmony or no harmony, because
the Quaker leader is a hard worker
Ml Hand was not a popular choice for the
a 'managerial berth when he received it.
Russian Refugees Arrive at

authorities, admitting their inability

j pealed urgently to the American Red
Cross Commission here, which, under
tho direction of Lieutenant-Colonel
E. E. Hume, M. C, U. S. A., is insti

One such party numbering 750 Rus
h aan officers, accompanied by their
J families, and counting ono full gen

high prelates of tho Russian church,
and scores of persons of titlo and dis

They came unannounced, travelling
for days across Serbian territory and

thence through the Black Sea and the

" Reaching -Odessa safely they ar-1

many of his companions, half crazed
with grief. ,
For a short time the refugee ship
lay In tho harbor, out of tho range
of tho raking fire from tho machine
guns, whilo the stranded peoplo on
the dock attempted to put out in
small boats. Few of these boat's par
ties lived through tho machine-gun
barrage directed on them the minute
they left the shelter of the quay.
Scores were killed in this way. Tho
vessel finally headed out to sea and
the despairing crowd on tho wharf
dwindled from sight.
At Varna tho shipload of refugees
were refused permission to land.
The voyage wa3 continued as far a3
Constantinople, where a number of
typhus coses at tho point of death
and a handful of seriously wounded
wcro landed by the British. No one
able to continuo was allowed to sot
foot on shore.
At Salonica the Greek authorities i
refused the party entrance to the city,
but placed a train at their disposal.
They were glvon five days' ration by
tho British and what assistance the
Red Cross authorities could furnish.
They then proceeded under guard to
the Greek frontier. By this time oth

the sufferings of the stricken were
unspeakable. The party arrived at
Belgrade without the knowledge of
the Serbian authorities and no meas

had been taken.

By NORMAN" E. BROWX.
The Phillies.
The Pirates.
I The Browns.
What of them this year?
Well, the future's brighter, than
usual for two of them tho Pltt3burg
and Quaker City teams and a shift
on tho Browns may furnish consider
able interest. But none of theso cluns
hns a chance at the world's scries
nipney unless the baseball world turns
topsy-turvy.
George Gibson, veteran catcher who
made a name for himself as a minor
leaguo pilot In Toronto, is trying his
hand with the sunken Pirates, and
reports from the training camp indi-
cat'o he has already done good work
in readjusting tho club to strengthen
it. He has broken Charley Grimm or
the Little Rock club Into the first ba?
job. He has moved Whittod from the
outfield to third and, with Cutshawj
at second and Walter Barbarc or Zcbj
Terry at short, has a smooth working
infield. The shift of Whittod. if per-
mancnt, will not weaken the outfield, j
Southworih, Carey and Blgbco giving:
him a good trio. I
He has acquired no new pitching
material. Tie will depend on Cooper,
Adams, Hamilton and Carlson.
Phillies Are Strengthened.
Cactus Cravath, who took up the
reins over tho Phils last year when
President Baker canned Jack Coombs
In preference to spending a nickel for
players, is off on his first complete
(season. He has strengthened the
club and can be' counted on to keep it
a battling outfit. First Of all he has
signed Jesse Tannehlll to coach his:
pitchers. Jesse can do that Cecil!
Causey, a youngster acquired from the
Braves at the waiver price, looked I
good last year. He was waived be-
cause lie couldn't agree with Stal lings
on salary. He may become a regular)
and a real star for .Gavvy. Mackj
Wheat and Tragessor are a good pair I
behind the plate.
j Ijiidcrus Has tho Call. t
Gene Paulotte, ex-Card, is contest-1
I ing with the old reliable Luderus for
the first base job. but Luderus has the
call bocauso of his hitting. Paulette'
can play any position on tho team ca-i
pably, so will bo a good second de
fense man. Dot Miller at second, Ban
croft at short and Russell Wrightstonoi
I or Ralph Miller at third will complete
the Infield to start with. AVrightstone
played with the famous Klein team.
Miller comes from. Fort Wayne. Mei;
sel. Stengel and Williams give Gavvy
a good outfield. Lack of grand opera
temperament on his team will help
Cravath.

Chuck Ward, who will cover the
territory between second and third In
the Robins' Infield this season, has
been playing great ball, and is ready
for the opening gong of the season.
Tho lnfleldor has entirely recovered
from tho operation he underwent iu
winter, and the knee which handi
capped his playing last season is now
In good shape. Chuck'3 fielding in
the games against the Yankees, and
the cne played with, the Senators, was
of tho mid-season variety, He covers
a lot of ground and his throwing to
first baso has been speedy and accu

hard time of it getting men to meet
him. Fred had a match with Gun
boat Smith practically clinched when

As Gunboat would not accept a small

Edward Barrow, manager of the

"It's unfair to charge Mays with
such unsportsmanlike and cowardly
tactics. He is a great pitcher and
