M'CRAW TRYING
TO SWING DEAL
IDreyfuss Still Refuses to
Waiver on Davy Rob-
ertson' S Services.

New York, March 1S.-With ap-
proximately thirty-six hours left
before starting South with his
Giants, John ]. McGraw, vice presi-
dent-manager of the Giants, is
bending every energy to effect that
three-cornered deal which Barney
Dreyfuss ha blocked for more than
ten days now. Each succeeding
day, however, complicates the task.
1t is said that when Dreyfuss
came over for a sparley with a num-
ber of his colleagues one week ago,
re refused to waive on the services
OF Davey Robertson.
Griffith at the time might easily
have secured American League waiV-
ers on Doc Lavan in return for an
outfielder of Robertson's worth ano
for Lavan st. Louis was more tnaf
willing to give up a seasoned catcher
especially as Hickey is now carrying
four backstops of repused worth.
Several American League clubs. II
now develops, have refused to waive
claim to Lavan's services. One OF
these is Detroit. Little owen Bush
has developed real ''holdout
crouch. He demands that he be trad
ed by the Tigers. Jennings has no
better shortstop prospect to fill Donies
shoes than Cooney, recently secured
from the Red Sox. At least until Bush
recants. Hughie does not intend to
let a shortstop of the worth of Lavan
waste his young life in st. Louis.

BIG SCRAP IN N. Y,
KNOWING ONES SAY

Now York. March Is. Although
bids are still coming in for tho cham
pionship fight between Jess Willard
and Jack Dempsey on July 4. no de-
ciSion has been reached concerning
the place of meeting. Tex Rickard.
promoter of the bout, said tonight.
II have not given much thought
to the subject" said Richard I'VE
are still getting the bids, but I have
been busy with other matters. There
is ample time, however. and when
the bids are all in we will decide
upon the best place"
Rickard spiked the rumor that Paris
will stage the fight. He said plainly
that it would not draw well enough
in France.
Indications are that the amended
baking bill of Senator Gibbs will
be submitted to the New York SEN
ate next week.
Rickard has not said he will put
the fight on here If the bill becomes
law, but many knowing ones are in
clined to believe he will. They think
the promoter is watching both the
New York and Illinois legislatures
with more than passing interest.

BOUT MAY MEAN LINE
ON NEW TITLE HOLDER

Baltimore, March lS-If World S
Champion Johnny Kilbane decides to
fade from the feather-weight picture.
the principals in the Peerless Athletic
Clubs stellar event of next Monday
night at the Lyric will be right in
line for the honors. Both AL Shu-
bert, the sturdy New Englander, and
Young CLANCY, interallied champ. who
are to collide for IL rounds to ref
ereee's verdict, are considered as like
ly as any OF the present-day feather
weights.
Kilbane, tits said, Is so disgusted
over his poor showing with frankie
Brown recently in Philadelphia that
he has resolved to go into permanent
retirement. permitting his rivals to
fight it out for the coveted title. II
the CIevelander sticks by this state
ment the Shubert-Chaney battle here
will have a bearing on the champion
ship. With the Clevelander out of
it the Baltimorean would have only
two serious contenders for the laurels
to get rid of. they being Shubert and
frankie Brown. CLANCY may strike
a real snag next Monday night in

WORLD SPORTS
TO Be REVIVED
Demands for Competition
Will Increase-Tennis
Matches Resumed.

New York, March 1S-An indications
point to an international sport
struggle involving every sort of ath-
letics during 1920. In every country
there is a revival of activity such as
sports never knew before the world
went into training to throttle Mars.
More men and many times more
women are being won over to recrea-
tive games. Rapidly there are being
developed skillful leaders in each
sport, and shortly these will seek
greater fields. International competi-
ton is certain.
1t will take another year at least
to systematic conditions and to bring
about arrangements Tennis players
OF France, Great Britain and Belgium
already have refused to sit idly by.
They have challenged for the Davis
cup, emblematical of the worlds ten
mis- supremacy, and this year will find
International contests for the racquet
wielders.
American net leaders are far better
prepared to invade the international
court, but have withheld challenge
until 1890. because they believe the
world should have a little more time
to adjust itself after the wreck OF
war.
While Sir Thomas Upton was pre-
pared to build a challenger for Ameri-
cas- cup yachtsmen of this country
did not believe that such an event
was permissible this year. However,
there will be numerous regattas the
world over in which yachtsmen of the
different countries will be invited TO
compete. The classic event will be
held in 1890.

Lawrence. Kans, March Is - Men

tournaments held by the Kansas
City A. c. or any other outside
bouts. as formerly announced. The
authorities at X. L. say they are

Of the department Of physical educa-

J. H. u. TRACK SQUAD
IS FORMIDABLE ONE

Baltimore. March 1S.-The Johns
Hopkins track team is working out
daily now at the Fifth Regiment
Armory in preparation for the Sec
ond Regiment games on March %.
Although examinations will be in
order at the Homewood institution
this week, daily practices will be
held. Coach England is rapidly get
ting the men in trim and has been
able to liberate Capt. Bev Smith
from the coaching work. The at
tention of the coach is now being
placed on specialized work.
Coach England has perhaps made
e. find in Driver, who has formerly
run in the relay and Quater- mile
events, but has lately been showing
up exceptionally well in the half
He will most probably run in the
half and on the relay at the Armory
meet. and his showing here will tell
whether the coach has misjudged
him or not. Van Ness. an III" man
of last season, is showing up ex-
ceedingly well in the quarter and
will make valuable man at this
distance. He is likewise almost
certain of a place in the relay. and
may possibly run in the century.

FANS ARE WITH RUTH
FOR SALARY INCREASE

Boston. March 1S-Struck, Schang,
Shean, Pennock and Bush are all once
again in the Red SoX fold, all FIVE
agreeing to terms on the eve Of the
team starting for the Southern train
ing grounds tonight. But Babe Ruth,
the big hurler, IS an out-and-out hold
out. Babe did not leave with the rest
OF the team tonight and those who
have talked with the premier baseball
slugger declare the only thing which
will induce Babe to do so is to have
Frazee meet his terms.
The betting here favors Frazee's s
backing down and yielding to Babe.
Those taking this view insist the Red
Sox cannot afford to face such a sea-
son as 1873 promises to be without the
services of the star attraction of the
team.
The Boston fans are with Ruth to a
man. There Is a movement on foot
here, in the event Of Frazee failing to
meet Ruth's terms, to make up by
popular subscription the difference be-
tween what Frazee will pay and what
Ruth demands. Another movement
proposed to put the matter up to Ban

GOLF SURE TO
BOOM ALONG
Biggest Year of All Is An
ticipated by Followers of
Scottish Game.

Much has been written about the
prospects for a wonderful year in
golf, not only locally. but throughout
the country. for the coming season.
This subject came up for discussion by
local golf officials at Mondays meet
ing of the District Golf Association
and the consensus of opinion seemed
to be that 1920 would be the banner
year for the game and that what is
done this year will only be a starter
for next.
This opinion was based on the fact
that the war is not yet over, that
many OF the better players will not
be discharged from the army until
late this season a. least and that
even war work is to a certain extent
demanding considerable extra time.
According to these officials. and their
opinions should be given considerable
weight as they have been keeping a
finger on the pulse constantly, 1880
will be the earliest that we can look
for the complete restoration OF the
game to its normal pre-war basis.

Baltimore, March 1S.-Another bang
up fight program is to be staged on
Friday night over in Baltimore at
Albaugh's Theater by the American
Athletic Association which has been
so successfully conducting weekly
shows all during the season. Rather
than have one main event and a bunch
OF ordinary preliminary events, the
club has arranged two special ten
FOUNDERS in addition to the main event
of twelve sessions. OF course, as Is
the case with all the bouts put on by
the Triple A OF which Sam Harris
Is matchmaker. each event will be
to a decision.
The main event will bring together
Dick Stosh, the former Cleveland
lightweight who is now making his
home in Baltimore, and Harry Pierce,
the slugging lightweight of Brook
lyn. These fellows recently made
their first Baltimore appearance at
an all star show of the American
Athletic Association and both made
a real hit.
Fans Immediately clamored for the
matching of this pair and the club
succeeded in bringing them together
for a twelve-round decision go.
Pierce. on his maiden appearance
here fought a wonderful bout against
Eddie Wagond, of Philadelphia, and
Stosh made equally good against Cal
ifornia frankie Burns, whom he
stopped in two rounds.
