PITCHER MAYS OF
 RED SOX LOOKS TO BE COMING WONDE FER

z Hot Springs. March 13.-Manager Carrigan is pleased at the showing of the; Red Sox boxmen.
 Vean Gregg and Joe Wood both showed Something of their old time smoke. and the freedom with which Gregg 1nlfmbered that lame left wing of his pleased Manager Bill immense ly. Wood didn't shoot his fast ball across, as none of the battery candf- dates is eptionaIlys anxious to face Joe's smoke at this early stage of the game Wood only occasionally, gave evidences that his wing is rounding to properly but it Ioks as though the, regular players in the main squad will be treated to a little surprise party when they come to line up against these twirlers on Monday next.
 Mays, of whom great things are ex- pected, is wild with trnpatience for the practice games to begin. From the form of this youngster has shown at the bat. on the slab and in fielding his position, his manager will ur- doubted1y gratify his wish, at the very earliest opportunity. With his 19O pounds of bone and muscle ana a world of confidence he is just the type of recruit that all big league mana gers have their eyes open for in the early spring.
 Mays has an underhands delivery thaF the FOIher sfsFOFlQSncezzQ QaayieES who worked with him last season de- clare is 8 very difficult one to solve.
 In the American league Jack War hop, of the Hign1anders, is the most successful demonstration of tbis Style of pitching and it may be remembered that when Wtllets of the old Detroit team, who pitched in the same ways was going at his best. he literally stood the Athletics and the Red Sox on their heads. If Mays can show half as much stuff as Carrigan expects the other recruits will find it a Her cuIean task to keep him from land- ing a regular job with the Boston club.
 Dutch Leonard is still slightly un- der the weather, being somewhat lame, and for that reason he took light exercise to-day. He went through a short session of slab duty, but he made no attempt to field his position
 Never previously in the history of the Boston Red Sox has such aewealth of pitching talent been given to a manager to select from. In other seasons the predecessors of Bill Car rigan have had three or four first class twir1ers to start with and num- Der of promising youngsters from which to draw additional and much needed strength; but, as at present constituted, the Boston staff of slab men is easily the best in the coun- try and if even two of the new re- cruits pan out as expected, the Boston leader should be able to defy all ri- vaIs from the start.

GIANTS TO BE
 TRADED DO WELL
 IN PRACTICE GAME

s
 Marlin, Tex, March 13-The three players who have been prominently ment oned. to figure in the trade for Polly Perritt-Pitcher Schupp and Outfielders Robertson and Piez- must have got wind of the rumor that they might be transferred to the St. Louis Cardinals, for they all play ed great ball yesterday.
 They were full of ginger and doubt less desired to show Manager Me. Graw they were too valuable to the Giants to be shifted.
 Schupp pitched two innings for the regulars against the Colts, and retir- ed the latter in order. besides strik- ing out two batsmen. He gave a fine exhibition of both speed and control He has kept himself in the back ground until today
 Young Piez, who made two home runs in Dallas last Saturday. and who has been batting heavily all through the training season, came through today with three solid safe drives in four times at bat, one be- ing a long line double. Piez,s field ing has also fbeen very fast and good.
 Robertson tore off a brace of sim g1es and made one spectacular catch. The latter announced he would either quit baseball altogether or else jump to the Feds if he had to play with the Cardinals. but Piez would prob ably welcome a shift that would allow him to play regularly.

New York, March 13-From 'tin- side' sources it was learned last night that the Johnson-WiHard champion ship fight, scheduled for Sunday April 4, at Havana, Cuba, will posi- lively not take place.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1905-Kid Herman defeated Dave Sullivan in rounds at Hot Springs, Ark This was the last battle of the ring career of Sullivan. who, for about six weeks in 1898, held the feather weight championship. SuIIivan's rise and fall was about the quickest on record On Sept 26, 1898, the little Irishman annexed the featherweight title by whipping zSoIly Smith, the Los Angeles boy who had become. cham pion by besting George Dixon about a year before On the 11th of the fol- lowing November Sullivan fought George Dixon, ana the rChocolate Drop" recovered his lost honors, win ming on a foul in 10 rounds. Dave was a sort of accidental. champion, as it is doubtful if he would have defeat ed Smith had not, the latter broken his arm. Dave was native of Cork, and he had been defeated by Pedlar Palmer. of England. before he be- came a champion. After his defeat by Kid Herman he retired from the game.
 1ss1-Jake Ki1rain knocked out George Godfrey, in 44th round at San Francisco,
 1so2-Joe Wa1cott and Young Peter Jackson fought 1o-round draw in Baltimore.

RAY. HEATING
 SHOWS BOSS
 GOOD PITCHING

= Savannah, Ga, March 13-The bat ting lethargy which had afflicted the Yankees during the first two practice games disappeared yesterday when the regulars and Yannigans got to- gether in their daily skirmish. Hits wh1stled their way to all sections of Athletic Park with the result that each team picked up more runs than both had collected in the two previ- ous encounters. Manager Donovan. sounded the recall at the end of the eighth inning with the score at TT.
 Donovan delegated Heating, Pieh and Ring to curve for the regular Tanks, and Brown, Warhop and Che ney flor the Yannigans. Cheney is the kid brother of Harry Cheney of the Cubs. and is a serf of the local Saw annah club.
 Heating, who was a poor workman while toiling for the Yannigans, on Wednesday, was a regular Walter Johnson yesterday, working out for the regular guys The youths are shaking their heads in a knowing way, and suspect that Heating was a spy for the Regulars when he pre- tended to be with the Yannigans last Wednesday,. Yesterday the Bridge port slabster dispersed HartzelPs kid lets in rounds, one, two and three without permitting a base. knock.

BAKER GAN
 BE REPLACED
 CLAIMS MACK


 Jacksonville, Fla, March 1S-Con- nie Mack is not worrying about the alleged retirement of J. Frank Baker, the Trappe, Md, mauler, and in an interview yesterday expressed the oplnion that he could be replaced if he made good on his retirement.
 Has Baker communicated with you since his ultimatuIn that he had retired ?'' Mack was asked.
 NO, haven't heard a line from him. I'm off Baker and he should know it by this time. Certainly I would like to see him back in the ine-up. but I have done all in my power to bring him around.
 You see a lot in print these days about it being a money question with him. Why. the latest yarn I heard was to the effect that Baker said he would play ball again if some club would give him $1o.OO0 a year sal- aryr If he is waiting TOT this. then don't think he will play in the biz
 Baker never brought up the money question with me. I won't be- ueve he is trying a hold-up game un- ul he tells me personally that it is a. question of money with him, and if this should be the case Baker will get the greatest call he has ever had in baseball.
 T am not counting on hi4zas He is not so wonderful that he cannot bG replaced. Amy one, no matter how good he is, can be replaced in bust ness or baseball. The fellow who thinks he is so good that they can't get along without him is mistaken. It may take a little time, but the right; fellow comes along sooner or later"

 The Sacred Heart quintet by hand ing a defeat to the St. Charles last night cinched the championship of Holy Name Basketball league in it's initial season. The game was never in doubt, the Charles being outclassed from start to finish. The fans will congratulate the Hearts for capturing the honors, their work all season being nothing short of spectacular and their playing always as clean as the next one. They have been a great asset to the league, being one of the best drawing cards and likewise having the largest crowd of follow CTS, with the possible exception of the tS. Charles five who have been well supported by the members of that parish. There are now two players on the Hearts team who are ready for faster company and it behooves John Leavy to keep a watchfu1- eye on both Bill Lannon and Russell.
 Now for the game. It is hardly worthy of comment. It was one of the poorest exhibitions ever put up by the St. Charles five and it was plain to be seen after the first five minutes had been played that they were out- classed. The Saints caged but three, baskets in the whole game against the Hearts IT. Russell and Morris sey were again the leading foul mak- CTS. the former being guilty of 5 nnisdemeanors and the latter 4.
 Lannons started things off with a rush and before you could say "Jack Robinson. he had already caged three baskets. Russell was opposed to Christy, but he played his usual game of s.here he comes and there he goes. It was almost useless to try and block him for like a jack-rabbit he would leap out of ChristyFs clutches.
 The only Saint man who seemed to be on the job was Stirks who time and again broke up set-plays on the Hearts, but he was unatded and his work went for naught. Hanbury played good ball while he was in and should have started the game instead of being kept on the bench until de- feat was certain. Rainville and Cart land played their usual star game at guard while -Lucey was almost a team in himself against Morrissey at cen ter. The Hearts are now out with challenge to the Ribbons for series of three games for the city cham pionship. The score:

When Napoleon went to Moscow and back it was found that the French soldiers stood the intense cold better than the Poles and, north Germans. It is quite wrong. by the way, to sup pose. as is often done. that that fatal winter set in early with exceptional severity. Napoleon invented that ex- plantation to pallfate the disaster into which he plunged his army. But the autumn was so exceptionally mild that the peasants believed that God was favor1ng Napoleon, and the dlSt snow storm did not come until Nov. 6, an unusually late arrival.
