WILD RUMOR THAT
CHASE AND JOHNSON
ARE TO BE 'SWAPPED'

NEW YORK. Feb. 29.-It was re-
ported here yesterday and denied, too,
that Clark Griffith, manager of the
Washington Baseball Club, has sug-
gested a trade whereby Hal Chase, first
baseman of the New York Americans,
be sent to the Washington Club in
exchange for Pitcher Walter Johnson.
Absolutely absurd" declared Clark
Griffith, when shown the report from
New York that Pitcher Walter John
son might be traded for Hal Chase, of
the New York Americans. Griffith
said there was not the slightest foun-
dalton for the story.

AMERICAN ATHLETET

NEW YORK, Feb. 29.-The Swedish
Olympic games committee has granted
ten days grace to entries from Amerl-
can athletes, this allowance being
made on account of the time required
to mail entries across the Atlantic.
Accordingly, the names of the mem
bers of the American team will not
have to be sent until June 16. This
concession will give the American CON-
mittee considerable breathing space to
look about and select the team.
: The Swedes nave also agreed to the
American committees plan for send
ing in entries for every available ath-
lete. AT the last moment, all the names
except those finally selected will be
Cancelled by cable. The American com
mittee will therefore use about 1900
entry blanks, and every man will be
entered who has the least chance Of
scoring.

AS March IL, the reporting date for

Tigers slowly, one by one, are coming

the striped brigade stalked into the

One of them is none other than the
illustrious and refulgent, also recai-
citrant Eddie Zimmerman, so the third
bag will again be in the hands of a
capable guardian. The other signed
document was that of William Collins,
the Cub outfielder, wllo5 finished the
season with the Tiger team.
The signing of Zimmerman was espe-

will prol ably be q catcher. Manager
Joe McGinnity has not yet made his
selection and will not until the Tigers
get down to actual work at Petersburg.
Newark will land another backstop n
between the newcomer and Harry

Harry Smith has variously acted In
the roles of captain and manager on
big league teams and might make a
good field marshal for the Bengals, OF
then again 1t may be that Joe still has

If he does the Iron Nam" will appoint
the Cub baclxstop to the position. NC
Ginnity and Needham are very close
friends. Joe has always a a notion
that catchers make the best captains.
Last year he appointed Lew McAllister
to the lob. He argues that a catcher
is in a position to command the entire
field at all times on the defensive. be-
cause the windpad artist is facing MS
eight cohorts. Then, too, the catcher,
working with the pitcher, is in a po-
sition to know every move that the
pitcher Intends to make and can tele-
graph by signals to every man on the

has been more talk than ever or de-

there is no good reason why 1t should
not be held In Newark II his honor,
Mayor Jacob Haussling, who is a fan,

Several fans have already written IN
approval of the half-holiday scheme.
There will be no parade of semi

 Therefore does it not stand to req son, that if we are timid and shy and ill at ease, we increase all the ob- stacles to our vocal freedom?

 To sing correctly is to eternalize our thoughts in tone. Every tone has it's own vibration, and the change or pitch is the foundation of tune
