Carey and Fischer About Only Holdouts
 In Ranks of Pirates

Few holdouts are anticipated among the Pirates for the coming season, re- gardless of the slashing of salaries, which will be a feature of the new contracts. The writer is of the opin- ion that in case of there being play CTS who will not come to terms the holdout mantle will fall on the shoul- ders of Scoops Carey and Bill Fischer, writes Charles J. Doyle in the Pitts burg Gazette Times.
 Carey, whose contract expired with the close of last season, received at least $5,OOO a year. Carey was paid this amount partly on account of play ing merit and partly because the Fed eral League was in existence. We do not know whether Dreyfuss has forced cut on the fleet gardener, but from his general remarks we gather that the reduction has been inserted.
 Bill Fischer got only few pay slips from MT. Dreyfuss, but, scarce as these were, it was a simple problem In was receiving $6,000 for each sea- sons work. The Feds gave Bill a three-year contract for that amount, and the Cubs assumed the obligation on Bills transfer to the Chicago team. Fischer came to Pittsburg with Frank Schulte in exchange for Art Wilson. MT. Dreyfuss says he does not expect to have any trouble in getting Fisch- CTS name on a contract.

TOUR OF RED SOX AND BROOKLYN NOT
 PLEASING TO HUB

The Boston Red Sox, instead o1 training at Hot Springs and then com ing straight home to mother, will train at the Hot Springs and then sally forth on one of those "See America First expeditions, in company with the Brooklyn Dodgers, writes Francis Eaton, in the Boston Journal And remember that one game with the Pittsburgh Pirates at the Springs and seven exhibitions on the way home was the outside limit for the Carrigans last year!
 The Red sox, while they cannot hope to rival the Braves as travlers and explorers, will, if Ebbets' views prevail, visit the Delta of the Missis- sippi, where the sad eyed pelican flaps her wings. They will cross the old trails of the Choctaws and the creeks to the cyclone country and the steep streets of Kansas City. They will visit, also, far-famed Peoria, home of the mosquito and of the malaria] malaise, but important from the P. D. Armour standpoint, and also as the birthplace of Harry H. Frazee.
 The excuse is that there's millions in it; also that everybody's doing it. Both of which statements may be true. Then again, Harry Frazee says that there isn't very much nourish- ment in playing preliminary games with minor league clubs. We don't see how he gets around this objection by taking on Brooklyn, but that's a matter for him to decide, after all.
 A short training trip was the great experiment of 1916, and to play as many interleague contests as possible in as many cities as possible seems to be the providential idea in 1917 The Red Sox are yielding to it with fa1 better excuse and with far better pros- poets of getting value in return than most of the clubs. But we don't know, somehow or other it doesn't taste good to have our Worlds Series thus smeared all over the bush. Ii takes the edge off what we would like to think of as something out of the ordinary.

.HoYT, HARTFORD 1: PITCHER, AWARDED
 TO JOHN McGRAW

New York. Jan. 20--Waite c. Hoyt, the 17-year-old pitcher, for whom the Giants and the Hartford club have been battling, was yester- day awarded to the local National league team. The national commits sioh handed down this decision. de- cIaring a contract signed by the youngster with Hartford to be void.
 According to the finding of Messrs. Johnson, Tener and Hermann, Hoyt is minor and the contract signed with the Giants was sanctioned by his father, while the Hartford contract was repudiated by the pater.
 Young MT. Hoyt signed with Man axer McGraw in August, 1915. He was IS at the time. He had made a great record in the schoolboy ranks of New York, pitching the Erasmus High school team to many victories.
 In the fall of 1915 and the spring of 1916 Hoyt was sschooled by Me- 0raw, who used him a lot in pitching to the Giant regulars during batting practice. Last May Hoyt was sent to Lebanon, in the Pennsylvania State league. He pitched four games, winning three. The game he lost went 19 innings.
 The league soon blew up and Hoyt went to Hartford Later Hartford sent him to Lynn.

DETROIT CLUB
 AFTER BUSH OF !. ATHLETICS NOW

New York, Jan. 20-Hughey Jen- nings is figuring strongly on the good end of the old adage that sit is an ill wind which blows nobody good.'' Hughey has high hopes just now ot profiting on the recent row between Connie Mack and couple of his star performers for the Athletics during the past few seasons. Jennings is doing his best to land Bullet Joe'' Bush for his Tiger pitching staff.
 2 Something like a year ago Jennings tried to lure Bush from the Macklan fold, but without success. Now, how ever, Mack appears sure of disposing of the speed artist, and if suitable terms can be arranged Bush will likely wear a Detroit uniform next season. All of which will come as welcome news to other pennant as pirants-not.
 With Bush in shape Jennings will be in a position to make a stronger fight for the flag than he has for sew era1 seasons. Since first the Tigers lost their pennant stride seven sea- sons ago pitchers have been the bane of Jennings hopes. Bush will come about as near to filling the bill as first class hurler as Jennings could lay his finger on.

RELIGION AMONG !
 BOXERS HAS BEEN PREVALENT IN PAST

Pugilism and religion are topics not usually discussed in the same para graph, but, all the same. there have been a number of professional box CTS more or less noted for their piety. Johnny Summers, the former welter- weight champion of England, is one of these. Johnny, who will be 34 years old on Sunday, attracted a lot of attention by his custom of dropping upon his knees to pray for victory just before a fight. After winning he went down on his knees to give thanks. There was one occasion in Austrlia when Johnny varied this per- formance. In fight with Ali Mercy. the Englishman lost on a foul, and Johnny was so infuriated that he turn ed on the referee and landed healthy wallop. F
 Another English boxer who became noted for his piety was Bendigo, who was champion of England about the middle of the last century. Bendy was terror of a fellow for many years, and was arrested for being drunk and disorderly numberless times. During one of his stays in jail he was converted, and after his re- lease he turned evangelist. Ia Billy sunday, ana OeVOCeO the TefHdluOeT. OI his life to preaching. Nobody took his religion very seriously, but for some years he was almost as big an attraction as the modern baseball evangelist" f1
 Another fighter who turned preach CT was Ben Hogan, who died re- gently in Chicago at the age of 87. Ben was quite scrapper until he came under the influence of Moody and he then turned preacher. After a. time he decided that practical work | for the down-and-outers was better than preaching, and he opened in Chicago the humane mission called ''Hogan's Flop" where beds were pro- vided at two cents a night. and thous- ands of human derelicts were fed and sheltered.
 Kid Mccoy was brought up to be a preacher, but, although he has 1ec- tured on "new thought" he hak never been bona f1de parson, although he has been most everything else. John ny Summers isn't the only man who ever prayed for victory in . sporting event Last fall the captain of the Milliken university football eleven, in Illinois, asserted that his men had won the conference championship by praying at critical points in all games.

New York, Jan. 20.--.While no official action has been taken by organized baseball in it's dispute with the fra ternity other than to deny the frater- nifty further recognition, a plan al- ready is under way to break the base ball strike provided the players still persist in their refusal to sign con- tracts when the season opens.
 The plan is to pool the signed big league players who are under con- tract, thus equalizing the strength of the teams and then fill them out with the best minor league, semi-profes- sional and college players available. The leagues would then make an ap- peal to the public and ask for support on the ground that the strike was not of their making, that they treated the players we'll and that they were un- able to arbitrate when the major league players admit themselves they have no grievance. R
 That means that the strike finally will come down, to the fan and the an- ewer may rest with him. Fu1tz rec ognized in advance such a plan would be followed and immediately took steps to become affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. With
