OWNER CLARKIN OF HARTFORD IS
 ENJOYING SOUTH

Southern Pines, S. C., Feb. 12- While the fourteen players, who make up the Hartford Baseball Club may or may not be in the pink of physical condition when the Eastern League season opens the middle of April the president and owner of that organization will be the livest stopper on the field when the bell rings.
 Recognizing the benefit of southern training and the delightful climate of this particular spot where Connie Mack shaped the Athletics into pen nant winners a few seasons ago. Jim" ClarBin blew into Southern Pines on the F1orida-Cuba Special the morning of January 22 and in forty eight hours had become the wit of Highland Pines Inn, with its more than 250 guests. While his ball play CTS are floundering around in the snows of the north, Jim is picking vtoiets, playing golf, and basking, in the sunshine He may or may not win the pennant, but he is having ona glorious time.
 Ignoring the axiom that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points, Jim criss-crosses the links of the Southern Pine Country Club with his left hand drives and doSlS tWO miles to a IOur-mlle course The only time his ball is not in the rough" on either side of the fair way is when it is on the tee. Jim doesn't take golf seriously but there are number of crusty old stock brokers from New York and Boston who do.
 A strict rule of the game is that you must not talk when a player is about to drive and that the player shall signify his intention of driving by shouting "fore." The other day 2 very dignified old gentleman from Boston was about to drive Jim" was sitting on a bench immediately back of the tee and keeping up a rapid fire conversation. The player gave him whitening glance, then addressed the ball and shouted fore" "Jinl' kept right on talking with the result that the players drive was fluke. He recovered the ball. came back to the tee and said to Clarkin: 'I'must request you not to talk when am about to drive. Did n't you hear me say fore g '' Sure did," replied Clarkin, +'but why iii H- should you yell fore when I was behind your"

FANS WELCOME TRANSPARENT OF
 FREAK PITCHING

New York, Feb. 13---Basebau legisla tion eliminating the spitbau and sirni- lar devices is welcomed by the fans It will mean more hitting, and the fens want free hitting beyond all else. But practical baseball men believe it will be hardship on many pitchers who formerly Inoistened the ball or applied foreign substance to make IL take its little quirks and turns. AL though MT. Heydler has given permis- sion to six National league pitchers to use the spftbaH next season probably a much greater number have employ ed it at times.
 While the American League has is sued no official list of it's pitchers who employ other than natural means to curve the ball, we know of at least nine who use either. the spitbaII or some other freak delivery The White Sox, for instance, have Eddie Cicotte and Urban Faber, both confirmed 'spitters." Cicotte also employs the shine ball on occasion.
 Detroit has only Bernie Roland. in variably effective against the Yankees. What Roland uses we can't imagine. but-accept it from Bill Donovan- it's something more than his hand as nature made it. The Browns have Allen Sothoren and Urban Shocker: the Indians, Stanley CoveIeskie and. Ed Klepfer; the Red Sox, Allen Rus- sell and the Yankees, old Jack Quinn. Deprived of their curve-making saliva. and other ingredients these pitchers may find it difficult to win. But base ball with more hitting will gain much in popularity.

One Of the most interesting ex- periments in hydraulics ever attempt ed will soon be made in the Holy Land.

The Dead Sea being 1900 feet below sea level will allow the water to flow with a rush which will be converted into electric power to run electrical cars and light the streets and perform other work n Palestine.

Pirates Owner Is
 Keeping Names of
 HOldOuts Very Quiet

Barney Dreyfuss is saying very lit tle about the progress being made by the Pittsburgh club in the matter ot signing it's players for the coming season The Pirate owner says he does not believe in making public the financial dealings between the club and the players, for to do so simply adverdses the holdouts, thus gaining for some of them misdirected sympa- thy on the part of the fans and creating new difficulties. Therefore, Barney is working very quietly, but 1t is suspected that he already has obtained the signatures of some of his athletes to contracts for the sea- son of 1920 George Gibson is now in Pittsburgh and is cooperating with Dreyfuss in tEe work of getting the players into line.

The New Yorker was under a, consfdera ble handicap in the matter of poundage, but tore into the champion and had him on the defensive for five rounds It was not until the final period that Kilbane could summon up nerve enough to take a chance. His last minute rally was but a feeble effor-, ard Murray had no trouble suppress ing it.
