RED SOX WILL
 HAVE PITCHERS
 GAL0oE IN 1920

Boston, Dec. 9.-The squad that the Boston Red Sox will take South this year will be much larger than any that has gone South for the training trip iron Boston for long time, and, unlike the past couple of seasons there will be plenty of pitch ing material to he tried out. Weak ness in the pitchers box was almost wholly the cause of the SOx failure last season, but this is a condition that will not be duplicated if any of the wealth of material Barrow has at his disposal can come through.
 In addition to Jones, Pennock, Russell, Hoyt, Bush and Dumont, there are Hickey, Fortune F7laherty, Holboro, Lessure AIusser and karr, all new twirlers. The Shipyards were pretty well raided of pitching pros poets in getting this assembIage to- sether, for FlaheTty was tn star box man of the Baltimore Drydock team last season, and HoIboro was the main pitching reliance at the Down ey shlpyards in Jersey City. Karr was the big ace of the Little Rock team and sought by many clubs. Les sure comes from Wiuiamsport, Htcz- ey from Albany and Fortune was the big sensation at PittsfieId. Some of the men will undoubtedly be used as trading material, and Dumont is almost certain to be let go. A prom ising young fielder, a first baseman, by the name of Satterlee comes to the Red Sox from North Adams, but he will be farmed out for another season.
 Devine, the recruit backstop from Pittsfield, is expected to make good from the jump, however.
 Under the circumstances there Is little chance of Dick Hoblitzell com ing back to the Boston club, man ager Barrow states that he has nc room for Hobbie, and with another first baseman in the back ground, big Ed feels he can hardly use Hobbie even if Gainer has actually retired from the game. This decision vii cause a lot of dissapointm ent in the Hub, where Dick has always beer a favorite.
 The Red Sox have not yet decided whether Tampa or Hot Springs is t( be their training gorund. Barrov stated that he would prefer thu Springs, especially since he wouI' have to take his team all the wa, from Tampa Bay to Texas in orde to play some exhibition games Il already arranged for, but 1t seem likely that the Red Sox figure tha with the Cincinnati! Reds trainin down the South Atlantic, Moran team would have the 1inlelight t themselves, even such a star as Rut' failing to offset them as an attrac ton.

EBBETS DENIES BR00KLyUCLUB
 WILL BE SOLD

New York, Dec. 10-Sherif Daniel J. Griffin of Kings county, has not purchased the Brooklyn club of the National League, on the word of Chas II. Ebbets and his associates, the Mo kesver brothers.
 The Squire of Flatbush secuted the suggestion that Sheriff Griffin haa bought a controlling interest in the Robins, and in denying 1t said:
 I've been in baseball twenty three years I hope to live to be three score years and ten, and in that time l do not intend to sell the Brooklyn club.
 Apart from my love for baseball, I would take this stand. just to spite those who have sold me out so of ten.''
 Edward J. McKeever. also a stock holder in the club, said at his home in Brooklyn last night:
 "I have not even been approached d concerning the sale of the Brooklyn Baseball club, and, furthermore, you can say that the club is not on the market at any price,"

THE TRUTH ABOUT
 CHATEU- U-THIERRY

American troops were going toward Chateau Thierry-to meet the Ger mans Five battered French divi- stons were coming from Chateau Thierry-having met the Germans. Everything vas being carried out ac- cording to plans. But Tank officers and doughboys did not know this either did battle-wearied French off, cers and poilus. They met in the fields and on the roads northwest of Chateau Thierry. According to stories afterwards circulated among Ameri- can troops In France the French de- lenders of Chateau-Thierry seemed obsessed with the single idea of beat ing the Germans into Paris.
 The Home Sector. the ex-soldiers' magazine conducted by the former editorial council of The Stars and Stripes, in speaking of the maneuver, says:
 What happened was this As the Americans approached the battle, un- der command of General Degoutte, a French corps commander, the oncom- ing Germans were being opposed by two depleted French divisions. weary fyom five days of disorderly and dis heartening retreat. They were about all m, put they were oruefeu to noIu their ground until the Americans could get into position behind them. Then they were to fall back through the Americans and withdraw for a much-r1eeded rest and rehabilitation.
 "All that happened thereafterswas according to order. The withdrawal of the exhausted French troops through, the lines of the exuberant Americans was successfully accom- plished, and was no reflection what ever on their spirit. In holding out as long as they had against over whelmingIy superior numbers. they had done their share"

CORNELL ATEsE EYES TO
 COMPETE IN OLYMPICS

Ithaca. W, Y, Dec. 1O-Corneu will make ev"-y effort to place some of her athletes on the American Olympic team which will compete in the games at Antwerp next summer, and with this in view has started preparations for the tryouts even as early as this in the season. The fact that college men will play a large part in the games has given an added zest to the track tryouts at Cornell. According to the rulings of the Olympic com mittee, any amateur in good standing is eligible to make the team. This means that freshmen, as we'll as men on probation because of their studies, will be eligible, although they are not qualified to represent Cornell in in- tercolIegiate meets.

Wilde Denies He Lost
 Tn Bout With Snarkey
English Champion Claims He Landed Cleaner Blows and Forced Fighting Throughout Surprised at News
 paper Decisions Given Against Him

Milwaukee, Wis. Dec. 10-Jimnlie Wilde, although accepting the verdict of the press in good spirit has a complaint to make and wishes 10 be heard.
 Jimmie thinks that public sentiment influenced the decisions in last Sat urday's bout with Jack Sharkey, and he is so positive of his victory that he doubts val-- much whether Sharlsey would even bee onsidered by English matchmakers for a trip overseas and a bout in London. He said last night in an interview, his first since the bout:
 q understand that all the decisions have gone against me but an pos. tive, nay, certain, that had the fight been fought in England. I would have won easily. I did not think there was any doubt about 1t, even though I did not fight my usual fight. Let me ask you a few questions.
 Who landed the cleaner blows Who did all the forcing Of the fight? Who was 1t that did the cltnching g and sought the clinches7"
 To he first two, to be fair. tt must be stated that Wilde carried the bEunt of the attack and landed by far the cleaner blows. To the last there can only be one answer. ShaTkey 1t was who sought the clinchas and cinch- ed whenever he could bring his weight to bear. Then Wilde con finued:
 'I know I was not in the best of condition for the battle. But even so I think I won, and won handf2y. sharkey's blows were mostly on my elbows and around my head and shoulders. He crossed and shock me once in the third round. but I was never in danger and was never both cred by his blows

 On one occasion he h?d been spout Ing forth his concluding argument for six hours, and the end was nowhere in sight. when the opposing attorney beckoned his associate and whispered ::
 Cant you stop him, Jack?"
 "I'll stop him in two minutes" Jack replied confidently. And he wrote and passed to the orator the following note:
 My Dear COlonel-As soon as you finish your magnificent argument l would like you to join me at the ho- tel In a bumper of rare old Bourbon"
 The lawyer halted in the midst of an impassioned period, put on his glasses, and read the note that had been handed him. then he removed his glasses again and, taking up his hat and bag, he said
 And now, may it please the court and gentlemen of the jury, I leave the case with you"
