Carhart Reaches
Final Round in
Squash Tourney

Harold W. Carhart. the brilliant
Yale Club squash tennis player,
reached the lnal round Of play IN
yanquishing Stuyvesant Wainwright,
clubmatc, N a semi-hnal round match
OF the annual Class 3 National Squash
Tennis Association. At the Harvard
Club yesterday. The score was l5-8,
ID. Carhart meets Harold D.
Harvey, Princeton Club, in the tilt
for the championship at 3 o'clock this
afternoon.
At no time during the match was
Carhart compelled to exhibit his de-
ceptive attack. He depended princi-
pally on change Of pace, but more
particularly in scoring d timely ace,
on lightning "kills' along the side
walls. Wainwright used a few cross
court shot effectively and at times
rushed to the front court to drive
home some sharp returns. Carhart's
exceedingly low round-the vol
leys proved difficult for Wainwright.
In the first game Carhart did not
warm to his best speed quickly and
the opening hands found the PLAYERS
battling along on even terms. He
then increased the speed OF his drives,
and accumulating a safe lead was
never overtahen. Wainwright trailed
from behind in the second set until
Carhart let down considerably in his
smashing attack after he had assumed
an OverWhc Inning advantage

staunch friend, admirer and manager
might ask. For the time he will serve
in such capacity as did Wilbert Rob
insOn, George Gibson and other we'll
known ieutenants of McGraw. That
he will work in close harmony with
Mac goes without saying. And it seems
but the question OF q short time be-
fore John j. McGraw will turn over
TO the Old Master absolute control OF
the New York Giants on the playing
field.
Bound for Pcnnantville
In the meantime we'll wshers Of the
Giants may rest serene in the knowl-
edge that their favoritcs Will enjoy
every advantage in preparation for the
impending campaign that is meant to
snatch championship from that pro
verbal New York enemy, the Cubs.
Not only Mathewson but George Glib
son as we'll will be at the Gainesville,
Fla, training camp to put the pitchers
and catchers of the New York Ma
tonals in the best possible fettle for
the 1919 championship race. And bat
terry strength is the one questionable
attribute of McGraw's powerful chal-
lengers. Gibson will manage the To
ronto club Of the New International
League this season, but intends to
make the spring trip with the Giants
for a double purpose While helping
to school New ork battery men he
win at the same time attain personal
physical condition. Furthermore, he
car get a good line on that talent
which McGraw will find it necessary to
turn back to minor company. Gibson
can use much of the best of McGraw's s
surplus talent.
Ferdinand Stubbefeld Schupp,
whose good left arm cut such fancy
figure in the 1917 triumphs Of the
tract to Secretary John b. Foster.
Accompanying the contract was let
ter which stated that the veteran
southpaw never felt better Aphys sically
during the past five years.
Schupp was of very little use to the
club last season. His arm was out of
commission presumably from an in
jury received after the worlds series
of 1917 against the White SoX. 1t was
discovered this winter, Schupp says,
that he was suffering from uric acid.
His physicians have put him on diet,
which excludes meats, fish and eggs.
Schupp for several months has lived
religiously to his diet, eschewing even
the mildest alcoholic beverages, and
his improvement, he reports, has been
wonderful. He believes himself on the
eve of his most effective season.
The alignment OF Schupp with Nc
Grsw's 1919 team leaves only four
Giants unaccounted for. Larry Doyle,
though not signed has already accept
ed terms. Poll Pcrritt, Fred Ander-
son and Fred Toney are three veteran
pitchers still without the fold, though
none is considered d real hold-out.
Earl Smith, the young catcher, secured
from Rochester at stiff price, has
returned his contract unsigned, but is
not demanding an increase that would
make much of jingle in the Stone
ham Nc G raw McQuade Golfers.

Miss Bjurstedt May
Be Missing g When
Title Tourney Starts
By Fred Hawthorne

A notable figure may be missing
when the twelfth annual national in
door championship lawn tennis tour
nament for women begins on Monday
morning, on the board courts of the
Seventh Regiment Armory, for Miss
Molla Bjurstedt, three times holder of
the title, will not defend.
Miss Bjurstedt, it was learned yes
terday, is still at RAIN Beach, Florida,
where she is competing in the mixed
doubles, having already won the sin
gles and women's doubles state titles.
This decision not to defend her cham
pionship is characteristic of the great
Norwegian. who cares little for titles,
but everything for the game. 1t VIII
not be the first time she has ignored
a title or a valuable trophy to COM
pete in less important tourney.
Miss Eleanor Goss, VINO was runner
up to Miss Bjurstedt last year for
both indoor and outdoor titles, will
on Monday, as will Miss Marie Wag-
ner, six times holder of the title,
although the latter will compete in the
doubles.
This means that new champion Will
be crowned on Saturday. when the final
and championship match is played III
the armory, but there are several play
ers in the draw, as announced last night
by Miss Adele Cragin, chairman Of the
tournament committee, who are well
qualified to hold the honors.
For the first time in her brilliant
court career, Mrs. George II. Wight
man. who, as Miss Hazel Hotchkiss, Of
California, held the national outdoor
years, Will take part in the indoor
event, and it would be no great sur
prise were she to win the title, cx-
perienced as she is in championship
play
Another new seeker after the honors
will be Miss Marion Xindcrstein, Of
Boston, one Of the hardest hitting and
most spectacular players among the
women of the East. Mrs Stuart Green,
Middle States champion, will also try
to gain the laurels in the singles, and
she is certain to be regarded as dan
gcrous contender, when the strength of
her splendid back-court game is taken
into account.
Among the others in the. entry list
Of thirty or forty women who will com
pete next week are Miss Phyllis
Walsh, one of the strongest of the
Philadelphia players; Miss Helene Pol
lax, Miss Clare Cassel, Miss Caroma
Wlnn, Miss Helen Bernhard and Mrs.
E. Y. Lynch.
The committee plans to devote both
mornings and afternoons to play, with
the first match in the singles scheduled
TO start at 10 o'clock on Monday morn
ing; Inc doubles will probably start
- or ~ H.
at the Seventh Regiment Armorv this
afternoon. -
New-York tribune., 1919-03-08

merly the Crawford Club, has decided
to remain with the New Canaan Coun-
try Club.
Carl Anderson, of Bronxville, and
Tom Boyd, the Fox Hills Golf Club
professional, visited Rockledge, on the
Indian River, Florida, last week and
played an exhibition game of thirty
six holes with Jack Jolly, of Arlington,
and William Entwistle, the local pro-
fessional, in which the latter proved
the victors by up after a most spirit
ed match. In the morning Jolly and
Entwistle had a best ball of SO to 70
and led by up on the first half of the
match. In the afternoon, Jolly and
Entwistle had q best ball Of 73 to n.
and won out by single hole and a
sing le stroke, with thirty-six holes
total of 142 to 143.
The Nassau Country Club still has
nine of its holes open for winter prac-
tice and Is still using the summer
green.

Bob Shawkey Signs Contract
With New York Yankees

he has lived a model life should be at
his best for many years to come.
Higgins saw Shawkey on his way to
Trappe, Md, where he was in con-
ference with Frank Baker yesterday.
Miller had hoped to return to this city
late last night, provided he were able
to talk the Home Run King into sign
ing a Yankee contract. Up to a late
hour last night nothing had been heard
from the Midget Manager on his heavy
piece Of ordnance.
Colonel Til Huston, half owner OF
the Yankees, was in Cleveland yester-
day, where he hoped to sign Shortstop
Roger Pcckinpaugh. "Cap" did not go
West to intercede with his spectacular
infielder. He is on business trip
which calls him to Cleveland, Toledo,
Detroit and Cincinnati, and decided to
kill two birds with one stone, if pos
sible.
Hank O'Day, the veteran umpire of
the National League, has made fine
suggestion to President Heydler. of the
National League. 1t is his opinion
that the baseball rules should be so
amended that the base umpire would
have joint jurisdiction with the one at
the plate in calling balks on pitchers.
O'Day declares that the position of the
base umpire is usually more advanta-
geous IN the matter Of detecting such
faults
