MAG WILL STAND PAT
Scrappy Muggsy Has Hopes That His Present Worl<mcn Will Deliver the Goods of Landing Pennant.

New York, Feb. 8--While many critics have figured that the pitching staff was the direct cause of the fail ure of the Giants last season, John McGraw evidently does not think so. With the exception of Fred Anderson, purchased from the Feds, Ray Kran- CT, purchased from Vancouver, and Emilio Palmero, recalled from Roch- ester the Giants will stand pat on their 1915 staff
 The Giant pitchers to be taken to Marlin will be Chris Mathewson, Jeff Tesreau, Polly Perritt, Rube Benton, Ralph stroud, Rube Schauer, Ferdie Schupp, Bill Ritter, Fred Anderson Emilio Palmero and Ray Kramer
 The Giants have gone in strongest for catchers and outfielders. At pres ent the club has eight catchers on its reserve list, though one of them Wanamaker, the Dartmouth collegian Il has been released The catchers are Chief Meyers, Bill Rariden, Charley Dooin, Robbie Schang, Lew Wendell, Bradley Kocher of Toronto and Ken ney of Notre Dame
 McGraw will likely stand pat on his last seasons infeld of Merkle, )Oyle, FletCher and LObert, with Grant and Brainard in reserve, but four more intielders will be looked over in Marlin. They are Joe Rodri- guez, the Cuban first baseman; Joe Schepner, a Pittsburgh semi-profes- sional third baseman and shortstop; Frank Carroll. the former Fordham third baseman, and Howard Baker. a third baseman, from Bridgeport. That would make it look as though a suc- cessor is to be groomed for Lobert.
 The Giants have an army of out fielders, ten without including Eddie Rousch, whom it is said the Giants have taken over from the Feds, but so far have been unsuccessful in sign ing to a contract. The outfelders are George Burns, Dave Robertson, Ben ny Kauff, Jim Thorpe. Taylor Far rell, from Portland, Me-; Charley Babington, the Brown collegian; Mer- win Jacobson, from Brockton Colon iai league. George Kelly, the hitless wonder from the coast, and Eddie Harrison of Dallas, Tex, Harrison had a tryout with the Giants before

RICHARD BALkS 0N
 PRICE FOR GARDEN
BalkS at Price and Seeks Another
 Place for WilIard-MOran Go

New York, Feb. S.-Tex Rickard has practically abandoned hope of conducting the Jess Willard Frank Moran bout at Madison Square Gar den. Two great obstacles are in the way, he learned through 8 conference with Jimmy Johnston yesterday. James scorned an offer of 1000 rent for the night of March IT. Further he admitted that the Garden had been rented to German society fr6fn March 1 to March 20.
 Whether or not the alleged Ger 1nan dates are children of Johnston's fancy the fact remains that the Gar den people expect too much of Richards melon to appeal to him. Rickard could get no satisfaction out of Jimmy. Johnston wouldn't even name a rental for the specific date when he learned that Rickard d&d not propose to switch dates.
 I'm willing to gamble with the Garden people," said Tex last night, "but I am not willing to do all the gambling on my own hook and then declare them in on a fifty fifty basis. Fortunately there are other places where the big bout may be held intend to get on the job in earnest to- morrow for I have practically side- tracked Madison Square in the reckoning.
 "Of course I wish a place as large as possible in order that the prices may be kept to the lowest possible scale If one location proves as good ss it's boosters say there will be no difficulty. I haven't seen the spot but am told 1t could be arranged so as to provide far more seats than Madison Square Garden"
 Rickard declared before some newspaper men yesterday afternoon that he was prepared to guarantee the Garden A c. twice as much money as it ever cleared in any fight if it could assure him lease feg March IT. He said he had no doubt that followers of boxing of outside cities would attend in profusion. He l has been advised that at least oQe { special train will be run from Chi cngo; possibly two or three. Buffalo, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Boston, Phila- deIphia, Baltimore and Washington, Rickard says, also are organizing pre- tentious parties.
 Rickard was in long distance com municaNon with Tom Jones yester- day. The latter has improved great ly in health and will be on hand to- morrow when final articles for the match are to be drawn. Rickard is to post with Bob Vernon $20, 900 of Willards purse on this occasion. Rickard said yesterday that he would try to arrange for Jim Jeffries to referee the bout between Willard i and Moran.
 1T think big Jeff would be an added attraction" said Tex "It will re- quire a man of his strength, size and experience to handle the two big battlers"

JACK MURRAY A FREE AGENT.
Giants Old Right Fielder Now Seeks
 Job With the Yankees.

New York, Feb 8-Jack Murray, who formerly played right field for the Giants may be seen out in that territory at the Polo Grounds next season, but he will not wear Giants uniform. Jack may become the right fielder of the Yankees. He had a long talk with Captain Huston of the Yankees yesterday, and Jack says that he is just as good now as he ever was.
 Murray was with the Chicago Cubs le st season, and Charles H. Weegh- man, the new owner of the Cubs, tried to send him back to the minor leagues Murray refused to go. Ac- cording to the rules of the Baseball Players Fraternity, having had ten years of service in the major leagues, Murray was a free agent.
 Yesterday Chairman August Herr mann of the National Commission and President John K. Tener of the National league talked Murray's case over, and decided that he was a free agent.
 Then Jack went straight to the Yankees offices. Fans of New York will never forget how Murray used to climb sky high and pull down near home run hits. He may be doing the ss me thing with the Yankees this season.

RUTGERS LOSES TWO
 GRIDIRON STARS
Talmon, With Garrett, Indian Player, Hunks Out in Studies-Both
 Players Stars of Eleven.

New Brunswick, N. J., Feb. s. There was considerable stir at Rut- gers college yesterday when it be- came known that Talnan, captain of Ia st seasons football team, and Gar lett, the Indian tackle, had been ex- ielled from college for failure in the rGidyear examinations. All except ore of the professors were willing to permit the football stars to take re- examinations.
 Talman said he had been expelled because of defciences in studies, and that it was all his own fault, because he had devoted too much time to athletics. Talman intends to leave for Australia on Wednesday.
 Rutgers was never more brilliant than last year on the gridiron, and IGlman's playing was largely re- sponsible. He was an ideal leader ard a fullbacl< dreaded by every team that opposed the Scarlet eleven. As a kicker he had few equals and he piled up enough points to be ranked among the leading football stars of the country in the individual records. He is also a fine discus thrower, a specially in which he represented the New York A. c.
 many All-American picks, failed be- cause of a deficiency of II points in his studies.

Crawford ys, Cravath.

The case of Crawford vs. Cravath brings in the main mystery. CraW- ford over a ten-year span has aver ared SAG extra bases 8, season. Cravath, over a fVe-year-span has avera ged 901 extra bases each wear. C'ravath would appear to have the de- CiSiOn.
 But fhorc is more to the mystery than this.
 Tn ten years Crawford has made 56 home runS-a trif1e over : to the season. In five years Cravath has de "A home runs-about 15 to the season. CraVath, on an average has hit three home runs to Crawford s one. But how much of this is due to Ora hath-and how much to the short Philly barricade?
New Britain herald., 1916-02-08
Continuing the Case.

Cravath leads in nome runs three to one. But in triples and doubles Crawford is far ahead. He has aver aged 19 triples each year to Cravath s 10, and he has averaged 31 doubles to Gavy's 25.
 Cravath's big extra base average Is due in the main to those "A home runs and many of these hom runs are due to those short fences in the home yard
 Just how many is where the mys- tery enters which leaves the Craw- ford -Cravath debate in doubt Talk ing into consideration the larger fields where Crawford has done his batting, the argument begins all over again.
 Records, after all. are not as true to form or as important as they might be where different conditions prevail How many four-base blows Crawford would pole in the Philly park is beyond any guess. But Sa muel would lose many a ball in the course of 77 games, with that right field palisade to shoot at.

Kings of Swat

As the fan populace esteems highly any one who can bust 'em, and as there have come in many queries as to who should wear the Walloping crown and sit on the Throne of Swat, we will deem it a rare pleasure to present the comparative swatting values of MT. Crawford and MT. Cravath.
 Over the ten-year route Crawford rules supreme, as Cravath has toiled in big league garb for but five seasons. For the last ten campaigns there are three men far out in front at the applied science of producing extra bases-the main test of slug ging ability, plus speed.
 The three are Crawford, with S46 extra bases; Magee, with 759 extra bases, and Cobb with 752 extra bases

Leaders Lose Thrice.

Three of the most exciting bowling games of the season were rolled at the Aetna alleys last evening when the stanley Works and the Union Works teams clashed. There was a big crowd on hand to witness the games, and enthusiasm was at fever pitch throughout the games, the players furnishing plenty of thrills by their magnificent work. The followers of the Chuckmakers were forced to a Keen disappointment as they witnessed the defeat of their pets in straight frames, the work of the Buttmakers being d revelation to their supporters.
 Bertini established a new league rec ord for high totals when he smashed the pins for 343 in the series His to- tals were 113, 12O and 11O. Lantone his teammate had high single of 122. Gaudette of the losers lead his team with 309 for the total. The scores fol- low:

 Cincinnati, Feb. 8.-The National Hseball Commission yesterday denied h application of Pitcher Eddie Plank be declared a free agent. Plank ssed his request on a paragraph in B Players Fraternity agreement alich relates to an unconditional re- Ase after a player has served ten hrs in one team, and because the Bderal League no longer has claim his services.
 zThe commission ruled that the first Intention did not hold because Plank st the Philadelphia Americans be- Ec waivers had been obtained upon sn, and before he had been released that club, which was contrary to F.
