Red Caps Will Be Back
 At NeWfieId Park For
 Revenge Over Americans

A Q Au@ were forced to accept the challenge of the Red Caps for a second clash. Liggins will n all probability ur: pire tomorrow game. The umpirical work of Chic O'Brien, as Industrial League umpire, marred the gams played last Sunday.
 Manager Grimes will use pra actically his entire first team against the Bed Caps tomorrow. As a matter of fact the lineup he will use tomorrow will be representative of the one he will send against the New Haven club in the opening game of the Eastern League season at Newfeld park next Wednesday afternoon. The Philadel- phia team. too, will be intact.
 Training on the part of Eastern League clubs during the past few days has been held up by rain. The locals yesterd day were prevented from playing outdoors and indications this morning were that they would be forced to spend another day in idle ness. In all probability a brief work out will be held at the park tomorrow morning beginning at 10 o'clock.
 When Davey Robertson appeared in the tenth inning of last Thursdays game as a pinch hitter for Jean Du- buc 1t was the first time that Davey's name appeared in the New York box score since the last game of the 1917 worlds series, which was made his toric by Robertson's huff of a soft fly and Zimm's great 'bone" in chas- ing Eddie Collins to the plate. Then, just to make Davey feel at home, the Giants pulled the 1917 aviation stunt in the succeeding inning. Robbys successor in right field. Young, and Kauff got mixed up on an easy fly which fell for a double, whereupon the great Heinie Zinm proceeded with a little mental arithmetic which smacked of the fall of 1917 and was vastly enjoyed by Rabbit Maranville.
 Lute Boone, former Yankee
 second 'baseman, has made
 another shift. He finished with
 the Pirates last season, but they
 returned him to Toledo. Roger
 Bresnahan, owner of the Toledo
 club, has sold him to St. Paul.
 The Giants and Yankees have the same record so far. Each club has won six out of ten games played.
 There are two splendid reasons why the Los Angeles team is a few miles in front in the Pacific Coast League. They are Sam Crawford and Jacques Fournier, who are batting fourth and. fifth respectively for the Angles. These fellows could make lot of big league pitchers shiver when they toted their bats to the plate.
 The 2O-inning tie game played !;
 between the PhiIIies and Brook
 lyn in Philadelphia on April 30
 was the second 20-inning game T
 played in Philadelphia. Back in '
 1905 Ed Ruelback of the Cuos
 defeated Frank Sparks, the Phil 2
 adelphia twirier, in a 2O-inning pitchers battle by a score of 2
 to 1. The game tied an existing
 National League record, and
 much was made of it at the time.
 But since then the National
 League record was bettered twice,
 first to 21 innings and then to 22.
 The Dodgers defeated the Pirates in 22 innings in 1917.
 Friends of Tommy Clarke. the Corona catcher, who was with the Cincinnati Reds for many years, will be pleased to hear that the former backstop has launched on a mana gerial career. Clarke has been en7 gagged to manage the Columbia, S. C., team of the newly organized Sally League. Can't keep a good man down.
 
 in Charley Ebbet's ball yard in Flat. bush the next few days, when the Giants and Dodgers meet in a three game set The Giants will be up against the toughest pitching they have seen since they parted company with the Red Sox in the South. With | fair weather the next three days Squire Ebbets ought to draw enough to be able to dedicate a new Brook l Iyn holiday.
 When Sammy Wick of the Yankees hits he generally hits ! them far, but he doesn't get his bingles often enough. As lead | off man he made only six hits in
 nine games, one of which was a ! homer and two of them triples. | Vick's average is only .150, so | Georgie Halas now is trying his luck as the Yankee leadoff man, < 1 Ross Young of the Giants hasn't been particularly dangerous against l left-handers this spring. but he bumped Artie Nehf good and plenty | in Thursdays defeat. In five times up Young hit double and two singles and drew a pass. Doyle, another left-handed batter, fared l poorly before Nehf's benders. Larry had chances to drive in the winning run from third in the eighth and ] tenth innings, but couldn't get the I ball out of the infeld.
