PHILLIPS SEEK
 PFEFFER, CRACK
 DODGER BOxMAN

Birmingham, Ala, March s. President William F. Baker, of the Phillies, Sunday night held a lengthy conference with Manager Cactus Ora vath over the acquisition of new paign. Realizing that with a ball club possessing the tremendous scoring possibilities of the PhilIies this sea son, the addition of one star pitcher will put the Phillies right in the thick of the pennant fight all sum mer, the PhiI1ies' boss has opened his campaign and started gunning for expert pitching talent.
 President Baker let it be known that he realizes the importance of his pitching problem and announced that he would spare no expense to provide Manager Cravath with the best sea- soned pitching star it is possible to secure.
 Mr. Baker wired three National League clubs in an effort to open ne gotiations for one of their star pitch CTS. He would not commit himself as to the identity of the clubs com municated with, but good guess concerning two of the teams ap- preached would be the Brooklyns and New York Giants. The names ot Ed Pfeffer, of the Dodgers, is promt= nently mentioned.
 It is suspected that the good offices of Casey Stenge1 have been solicited in the negotiations for Pfeffer, as Stengel and Pfeffer are fast friends.

OR. WHELAN IS
 HARVARD'S NEW ATHLETIC COACH

Cambridge, Mass, March 23-The Harvard Athletic Association, in an effort to crown Crimson efforts in track athletics with the successes which have met football under the Haughton system and hockey under the Windsor regime. yesterday signed a contract with Dr. Charles Whelan of Boston to act as supervisor of track athletics at Harvard for a term of years
 The Harvard management desires to build its track system from the bottom up and has obtained Dr. Whe- Ian for this purpose. It was said at Harvard last night that his coming would not disturb William ("Pooch'') Donovan as track coach. Instead, pr. Whelan's work will have to do with the less proficient material which he will grade and endeavor to develop along lines of his own. For the pur- pose of coaching successfully his charges the doctor will introduce the motion picture to demonstrate the right and wrong way of doing what he is teaching.
 Dr. Whelan is a Dartm outh gradu- ate, class of 1901. where he took part in track athletics as a sh hot butter and broad jumper and also in football Later he coached at Volkmann school where for five seasons he developed l champion schoolboy teams from . small number of boys.
 Among these athletes were Reggie Foster, who explained the 1911 team at Harvard, and Herb Jacques, a dis tance runner and cross-country cap 1 tain.
 1 For II years pr. Whelan was il charge of football at Tufts, and whil'
 not acting as head coach last fal helped considerably in the develop ment of the team. He is practicin,
 physician with offices in Bingham ant l Boston.

BROOKLYN CLUB
 CLAIMING BEST
 PITCHING STAFF

Jacksonville, March 25. - The Dodgers pitchers are nearing mid season form and next season the staff of twirlers which Manager Robbie will carry around the circuit will be among the best, if not the best, in either league.
 The rotund leader is famous for developing and handling slabsters, and this spring he has devoted much of his time to getting the hurlers into tip-top. shape If the three games that have been played against the Tanks in the. South may be taken as a criterion, the batters who will have to face BrookIyn's pitching next sum mer may encounter difficulty in solv- ing their offerings when hits mean runs.
 In the set of battles with the American LeaSuers the Dodger pitch CTS have shown at their best when Yankees were on the base paths. Not even such sluggers as Babe Ruth and Wally Pipp have been able to come across with a damaging base hit The only member of the Tanks who has slashed out a timely safe hit is Roger Peckinpaugh, who in the eighth inning of the first game hit a two-bagger, which scored Gleich from second. That was the only run batted in by the Tanks with a safe wallop.

Twelve Hur1erS To
 Use Spitba11 Still
President of National League Names Veterans Who Are Exempt for, This Season But Must Abandon
 Delivery Next Year

New York, March 23-In a pampn- let mailed to all the clubs in training camp John A. Heydler, president of the National League, has issued the official text of the important changes in the playing rules for 1920. Fifty copies of the pamphlet have been sent to each club, so as to give every ball player full opportunity to study the rules and to put them into ac- tua1 practice in the games prelimin- ary to the championship season. At the same time MT. HeydIer has an nounced the names of the veteran spitball pitchers of the league who will be exempt during the season of 1920 from enforcement of the rule against the use of the damp delivery.
 It will be remembered that when the sphba11 question came up for de- cision at the annual meeting of the league the club owners as well as Mir Heydler considered it unfair to de- prive the veteran spitbal1 pitchers forthwith of their moist, and in many
 cases their only effective weapon In their case it was thought best to de- clare an exemption of one year, the idea being to give these veterans a chance to develop their pitching dur ing the year to conform with the new rules that bar all freak deliveries. The official list of these exempted veter-
 ans contains twelve names, as fol- lows:
 Boston-Richard Rudolph and Dana FilIingi1n.
 Brooklyn-CIarence Mitchell and | BurIeigh Grimes.
 New York-Phil Douglas 1 ladelphia-Bradley Hogg anc Roy G. Sanders
 1 Cincinnati-Ray Fisher 1 Chicag ago-Claude Hendrix. ! St. Louis-Wi1liam Doak, Marvin l Goodwin and. Oscar Tuero. | The league president has made i ] clear that the exemption applies onl! 1 to the spitban and not to any othe of the freak deliveries that have beer 1 legislated out of baseball.

CAN'T
 USE RESIN ON
 HANDS OR BALL

New York, March 23.---President 1ohn A. Ieydler of the National League yesterday received a letter from Umpire Bill Klen, who has been touring the Southe ern training camps insstructing the pitchers in the new rules. K1em sent the information that many of the otd-t time pitchers had asked that they be permitted to carry resin dust in the pockets of their uni forms, to be used only to dry the tips of their fingers before delivering the ball.
 Umpire Klem agrees with the play CTS that the use of resin for the pur- pose of drying the finger tips does not violate the rule which prohibits the 71se of foreign substances to aid freak deliveries.
 The new rules, however, prohibit the use of resin on the cover of the ball 50 President Heyd1er believes that the pitchers should also be prohibited from using it on the finger tips.
 President Heydler said yesterday that he did not favor the use of resin for any purpose whatever and he also permitted the use of the dust to dry their fingers, it would open a way fol the pitchers to use other substances II their pockets. As it is the spirit O. the rules to do away entirely witt anything which aids the pitchers il delivering the ball, they will have u get accustomed to pitching withou the resin before the season opens.

Insure Babe Ruth
 In $15O,OOO Policy
New York American Owners Take Steps Guard Against
 Loss In Case s1ugger Is Taken Ill or Injured During Season

Jacksonville, Fla, March 23-The New York American League baseball club has completed arrangements to take out $150,OO0 insurance on it's star slugger, Babe Ruth- The idea was considered during the winter, but has just been carried out The insurance is for life, illness and accident. What with premium. salary and purchase price Ruth is indeed an expensive luxury, but few home runs with the bases filled will be worth it. And the Babe is the boy to make them, if any body can
 The only training the Yankee regu- lars had yesterday was listening to the fall of rain drops, and if they were so inclined, poker chips The recruits performed their daily stunt, but by the time scheduled for the reg u1ars to harness up it was raining, and Miller Huggins regretfu1ly declared a holiday for the afternoon
 Duffy Lewis celebrated his first real day in camn by donn1ng his uniform and doing some easy warming up with the Rockies. He is much lighter than he was when ,fle season closed last year, and, although his arm is not entirely healed, believes he can start at hard training very soon. He spent some time in batting practice, as the report that the Tanks aren't hitting seems to have reached the Coast.
 Lewis hasn't signed yet. and there is quite Q, difference of opinion be- tween him and the club as to what his salary should be. but he is to hold a conference with Col Huston and Miller Higgins soon and the belief is that a settlement will be reached

ZbyszkO Secures His
 Chance to Come Back
 And Regain Laurels

New York, March 23.-When Stan islaus Zbyszko enters the ring next Monday night at the Seventy-f1rst Regiment Armory it will mean the first appearance of the Polish giant in this city since pre-war days. In his debut Zbyszko will tackle John Olin, the giant Finn, a grappler who possesses considerable strength and is sure to give the Pole a hard battle. The appearance of Zbyszko will be awaited with great interest. For many years he was the greatest ana best known wrestler in the country excepting Frank Gotch. Gotch, who possessed the title, was the only man able to pin Zbyszko's shoulders to the mat This defeat was mostly due to the fact that Zbyszko was more of a Graeco Roman grappler than a catch-as-catch-can style wrestler, the style at Which Gotch was phenom.
 9Zbyszko returned to his home in Poland six, years ago, was taken pris- oner by the Russians and for four ,--ears was located at Warsaw.
 { Jim Londos, the Greek champion will wrestle DemetraI the same even ing in a return match. Londos is con- fident that he again can down the former champion.

GIANTS HAMMER BALI. AND BEAT
 RED SOx CLUB

Wichita Falls, Tex, March 23.---The Giants recovered their batting eyes yesterday and took '--o second game fin their series with the Red SCX. The score was 14 to s. A crowd of 6;000 from this oil boom country attended.
 It would have taken superlative pitching to stop the Giants, for they were in one of those batting moods which long have made them feared by even the greatest hurlers. But the variety of pitching served up by the Boston men who occupied the mound was far from the major league stand ard On the other hand, Phil Douglass and RQbe Benton, except for Q poor inning by each were effective.
 Douglass did not allow hit until the fourth inning. In the fifth he let up altogether and allowed four hits, one of them a home run by Mike MenosI1y, with the result that the Red Sox broke into the scoring with five runs The Giants already had scored F. and the game looked like a farce
 Karr, Leasure and Harbarrow, all recruits, pitched for the Red SoX. De vine. the catcher from Pittsfield of the Eastern league, caught well for the Bed Sox-

Kilbane Agrees To
 Box Willie KOhleT

Philadelphia, March g - WiHe Kohler, the clever New York feath- erweight, has been signed up to meet Johnny Kilbane in a six-round bout to be staged at the National A. c. on April T.. Kohler defeated Otto O'Keefe, a local star, so easily Satur- day night that the management inn mediately signed him to box the featherweight, champion.
 Kohler. is one of the best feather weights now Tn the game and one of the few that are given serious con- sideration with the champion. The coming bout will have a. great bear ing on a future match. He has been trying to engage Kilbane in a battle with the title at stake, but the cham pion has declined, all offers. If he is fortunate enough to beat Kilbane de cisiv1y the latter will be compelled to meet him in a longer fight.

Giants Liked Spring
 Drill in Bigger Town

Training in a city of the size of San Antonio was something of a novelty for the Giants, as they have not rounded into form in big town for, many years. John McGraw as a rule is partial to small towns as sites for training camps, and for eleven years took his club to Marlin Tex, which has a population of something like ,, 5,0Oo
 Last spring because of the short training period, he shifted to Florida and passing up places like Jackson vile, Tampa and St. Augustine, se- -1ected Gainesville a quiet, secluded hamlet, far from the madding crowds ignoble strife and off the beaten track of tourists from the North.

Promoters Swamp Carpenter On Arrival But Manager Of French Champion Is
 Not Ready To Sign Up Yet

New York, March 23-Georges Car pentier, heavyweight boxing cham pion of Europe, who served France in the world war as an aviator, ar rived here today on the steamship Savoie and was cordially welcomed by a throng of sporting enthusiasts and an enthusiastic delegation from the French colony. He was accompanied by his IT year old bride and his manager, Francois DesCamps.
 It is expected that Carpenter will sign a contract to meet Jack Demp- sey for the heavyweight champion ship of the world during his stay in this country. Many promoters haze made tempting offers but Manager DesCamps has not yet indicated his probable decision. Carpenter will be entertained here for several days and then will make a trip to the Pa cic coast.
 The Frenchman will display his charms in a moving picture serial while on the coast. It is hoped that he does not have such hard luck as befe11 Jack Dempsey after the cham pion went into the movies.
 A letter from Jack Kearns to 8 friend in New York states, in speak ing of Carpenters coming, that he has not signed with any promoter ir regard to a bout between Carpentiel and Dempsey. This, it would seem leaves the field wide open to the bes bidder and the mi11ion-dolIar prom isers may begin to chirp all ovel again.
 Tex Rickard and 57 other varietie! of promoters were on hand when tht steamer arrived. It is generally un | derstood that Rickard has the inside | track when it comes to staging tht Dempsey -Carpentier bout, as thu | famous promoter is believed to hay, , an understanding with Carpenter ] But if Dempsey is found guilty O 1 the stacker charge it is doubtful if h. 1 would be allowed to fight in thi i country.
