MARSANS DENIES
HE'S HOLDING OUT
FORMER NEW BRITAIN. PLAYER
GETS VOLUNTARY RAISE
FROM CINCINNATI.

Cincinnati, Jan. 17.-Armando Mar
sans, who came to Cincinnati from the
New Britain Comm club, is in line
and will play right field for the Reds
this season. He has agreed to terms
and will sign his Red contract as soon
as the document reaches him at his
home in Havana. The stories emanat-
ing from Cuba. to the effect that he Is
a holdout and would not annex his
signature to q contract unless handed
q. big bunch of extra coin, We're gross
ly exaggerated, if not made out of
whole cloth
The great Cuban outhe1der wrote a.
letter to President Hermann, in which
he said he did not understa how the
story arose about his refusing to sign,
as he had never made any such state
ment He said that his treatment by
the Cincinnati club and the local pub
lie had been extremely generous, and
that he would much rather play here
than anywhere else, and said that he
had received the contract sent him
and thought the figures in it might
have been a little higher but that, if
Mr. Hermann did not agree with him,
he would sign it without murmur.
President Herrnnann was so pleased
with the tone and spirit of Marsans
letter that he yesterday sent him a.
new contract, containing a slight raise
over that previously offered. He split
the difference between the original dg-
ures and the amount that Arma ndo
had suggested, and so both sides are
perfectly satisfied.

SELLING SEATS
FOR BIC AUTO
RACE ALREADY

Indianapolis, Jan. 1.-THE sale of
seats for the 5Oo-nile race at the In
dianapoIis Motor Speedway next Me-
mortal Day has been a big one so far.
Many applications are being received
daily at the Speedway office, i6
North Capitol avenue, under the d.
rection of Auditor T. E. Myers. On
opening day the demand was larger
than last year. The sale indicates a
keen interest among automobile race
enthusiasts from coast to coast. Re-
quests from all parts of the United
States are arriving for seats This
earlier. These requests are filed and
filled in the order Of their being re-
ceiVed
The Wolverine Automobile Club has
the honor of being the first autono-
bile club to be served with its reser-
walton. The Detroit Club, which tour
ed to the race last year, and which
block of 800 seats. This order was
made at the close of the race last
year, but was renewed shortly before
the holidays.
The National Cash Register COM
pany was on deck with an order Tor
500 seats. The company will throw an
automobile party for its employees on
the day of the race
Among the requests for reservations
are those from practically every au-
tomobile factory in the United States,
each of which will send q. big party.
The presence of the famous French
driver, Guyot, seated at the wheel of
Iish car which until recently held the
records from six to twelve hours, made
on the Brooklands track, is a posi-
bility in the 500-niIe race.

GIANTS MAY
TRADE DEVORE
FOR CAMPBELL

Josh Devore. the diminutive out
fielder of the Giants, may be traded
for Vim Campbell of the Boston Ma
tionals. Campbell says he has re-
tired from baseball, though he re
tired once before and came back
If he had a, chance to come to New
York with a good opportunity of
sharing in a worlds series, he might
be tempted to change his mind again.
About a, month ago, President Gaff-
ney of Boston said he had an OPP
portunity to trade Campbell, but de-
clined the offer, as he did not know
whether Campbell would play ball
again. ST am a now man in baseball, .
Gaffney said at that time, "and
would not like to get in bad with my
fellow magnates. If I should trade
Campbell and he failed to report, the
clubowner I traded with would think
tried to put something over on him
by trading a player whom knew had
quit the game"
Campbell Enthusiastically would be
a valuable man under McGraw. He
has the ability to become one of the
leading stars in baseball. He is a
good grourd-coversr. enc of the fastest
men in the big leagues, and a con-
eistent 800 c1ubber-
The first year Campbell broke into
the National League he was second
among batsmen, hitting 1926 in "a
games. He retired from baseball in
the spring OF 1912, but rejoined the
Pirates late in the summer. He got
into 81 games and hit .312. Las
year he hit -296 playing with the Bos-
ton Braves all season.

DAVY JONES
HAS ROAST FOR
HUGH JENNINGS

Detroit, Jan. 17-Davy Jones, the
putfieIder. sold to the Chicago White
sox yesterday, gave away some inside
secrets as to why the Tigers, with a
good team, hit the tOboggan last June
and kept sliding
Il was sold because I had informed
President NaVin I never would play
under Jennings again, and was in po-
Eition to back up my resolve Davy
said 81 already have an option on
another drug store. Sam Crawford
and half a dozen other Tigers have
told Mr. Navin the same thing. That
is the secret of Sans ho1dout. He is
in position to back up his demand, as
well as I, but I don't think the others
are, and 1 suppose they will have to
cave in.
The slump of the Detroit team last
season vas due entirely to Jennings
abuse of the players. He was forever
calling US down with the harshest OF
words He would call US for making
a. play one day and the next day call
for not making the same sort OF
play, always in language that no self
respecting man will stand.
las a Consequence, every player was
sore on him. You don't have to take
my word for this. Ask Crawford
Bush, or any one who ever played
under him Crawford and I both told
Jennings at game in Chicago last
fall that he would have to lay US of

EDDIE MENARD TELLS ABOUT
BANNER DAYS OF ROLLER POLO
Great Bridgeport Player, Visiting In This City
Recalls Early Enthusiasm AT Gem Rink

north to the Gem rink in Lumber
street. The rink was moved later to
North avenue. During this period
Bridgeport was polo mad and big
crowds of fans followed the team
around the circuit, particularly when
Bridgeport played Hartford, which had
the famous Cotter and Seeley in its
ranks.
The club quit this city in nidseason
in 1880 after the interest in the game
had greatly decreased. The local
players went to the Rhode Island and
| Massachusetts league. They appear
ed in various leagues after that time
and Pierce played in this section when
polo was revived here five years ago,
Menard was with Providence then.
Pierce and Cunningham played with
Bob Eadie'S team which won the
championship.
Menard, Pierce and Roberts quit the
game together after starring for 80
years Menard retired because his
ankles troubled him. His last con
nection with polo was as referee.
| In his talk of the old times, Menard
says the shortest game on record was
| men on a side at that time. The
| Brockton team went to Taunton one
night and it was agreed that the team
scoring the first three goals out of
| five should wins The game started at
9 o'clock and at three and one-half
minutes past that hour Brockton had
sore so the teams had to play an ex-
| hibitiOu game.
The longest contest on record was
played by the Brockton team in Cam
bridge. The battle started at 8
| o'clock but was still on at midnight
/ with the score tie. So many play
| ers were put off the floor for fouling
| that at the finish each side had only
| three men.
Menard also tells an interesting story
of Jigger Higgins, one of the greatest
| Of modern players. Menard wanted
| Higgins for the Lewiston, Me, team,
1 but Higgins wore short trousers at the
| time. Menard was afraid to bring
such a kid on the floor, SO he stopped
in Boston and bought Higgins a pair
| of long jeans. Don't tell anybody
about this will you2'' begged Htg-
| gins.
/ Although Menard will never see As
again, you would never suspect he had
reached that age. He looks fine and
is very enthusiastic about his pros
| poets as a, salesman. He has terri
tory from New York to Maine. He
has been very successful and his nu-
merous local friends have been con
graduating him since learning he was
! in the city.

MAGNATES CLAIM
THEY LOSE MONEY
BUT STILL THEY CONTINUE TO
INVEST MORE IN NATIONAL
GAME.

Boston, Jan. 17-Are the American
league magnates becoming pesslmistsg
A few-days ago President Navin Of the
Detroit club asserted that the dayG %

over and that. from now on IL would
be hard scratching to make both ends
meet. And now Connie Mack Of the
Athletics, who has never been long On
talking baseball finance although ad-
nittedly a wizard in that department
Of the national game. comes forwarG
with a statement that the big leaRTrm
owners are finding the shedding hard
and adds that the Athletics baven'G
paid a dividend upon the stock IN sew
eral years.
All of which. as bearing on Mackss
club, is rather surprising and would b
more so were II not that IL rs frequent
ly the case that stock companfss fn-
stead of declaring dividends. turn In
the profits for improvements. And
then, too, it shouldn't be forgotten that
very recently Mack added very large
Iy to his holdings in the A6hietlep.
which he would hardly have done had
he not considered It a good financial
proposition. Aside from the purchase
of Lefty Russell for something ike
81 900. there is no record that wise
Connie was ever badly stuug In any
financial transaction.
One might have expected to hear
some Of this caiarnfty bowling from
q few of the National league msRnaoes
but it wasn't to be expected from the
american league quaaksr. And Ban
Johnson will doubtless see that &c fm
very promptly cut of unless. per-
chance, there be some movement on
foot to nail up the 25-cent bfeachara
all over the circuit. In which case
more along the same line IS to be ex-
pected. The fact that major league
club owners in the past two years have
probably invested more money In new
plants, either finished or in process Of
construction, than in any similar Pc
riod of the past is very fair evidences
that the magnates, collectively speak
ing, think, after all, there Is stif a
dollar to be made in the game. And we
have Connie Mack's own word for 90
that 800, 900 are to be used IN I'm
provements on the new Athletics
grounds.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-01-17

spoke to him afterward. I don't think
Sam has, either.
Sam demanded that he be traded
to Chicago or some, other club. Nayin
could not trade him because he want
ed too much money, so Sam put his
figures so high that Navin will be
forced to trade him. This talk is not
sour grapes on my part, for never
hesitated to speak my mind regarding
Jennings.
THAT was the reason I was on the
bench so much last season. jennings
story that I could not stand the
strain more than two, weeks at a time
was rot. He did not play me be-
cause I did not have to stand for the
sort of names he called me. and would
not.
Baseball players nowadays are men
of self-respectv many Of Ithem college
men of high refinement and education,
and they will not submit to the sort
of rough neck trea tment that was in
vogue when Jennings broke into the
game.
THAT is the whole secret of the
Tigers rank failure last year, and
that will be the cause of worse
showing next season. They will be
extremely lucky to finish higher than
seventh, because the players. with
the exception of Cobb, all hate Jen-
nings, and won't do their best for
him New York will beat them out
