TANK MANAGER
 NOT WORRYING
 OVER BABE RUTH

New York, Feb. 21-Manager Mil- Ter Huggins of the Yankees an- nounced yesterday that he received the signed contracts of Sam v3ek, Muddy Ruel and Fred Hoffman, one of the recruit catehers. He expect8 that the other players will sign next week before going South with the club. Manager Huggins stated that the differences between the club and players were in most cases slight and he believed that they could be promps- ly adjusted. There are other cases, however, which do not look so prom ising.
 Higgins pays little attention to the many statements which have come out of Boston about Babe Ruth. Ruth is expected here early next week The latest yarn from Boston credits Ruth as saying that unless Harry H. F'razee gives him part of the Dur
 chase money paid by the Yankees he
 will not go to the training camp al
 Jacksonville. Huggins, however, is
 confident that the Ruth matter Will lbe satisfactorily adjusted when hs LGets here next weak

Madden Seeking New Partner for Six Day
 Race, Starting March !

New York, Feb. 21.-Eddie Mad den signed to ride on the six-day race at Madison Square Garden dur ing the week of March to 13, but will not ride with Alfred GouIlet of the winning team in the last race. Madden was second in this two pre- vious starts with Frank Corry as a partner, and now that he has finally captured first money figures that he is good enough for Goullet, Egg, or any of the other stars and can win the big classic with a fair plugger to help him out.
 Madden accuses GouIIet of "tboss- ing him in the last race and keeping him from showing his best work. Ed die wanted to hook up with Egg in the final sprints on Saturday night but s<Gouney'' told him he was noi good enough for the flying foreigner and took all the glory by winning most of the sprints.
 It has not been decided as yet whC will be teamed with Gouuet, but i will not be Madden, and with the tw< cracks opposing each other ther' promises to be some keen sprintins during the week. Egg is another wh' l is bitter against the king of the six | day riders, and if Gou1let is to b. i beaten this looks like the chance t 1 dethrone him. Word is expectet hourly from Europe what foreigner have been signed by the foreigl i agent since the Brussels race las l week, but at least nine of the bes l men are expected to sail and ride i 1 the coming grind.

HARTFORD GETS
 GEO. PENNINGTON CRACK PITCHER

Hartford,- Feb. 21.-The Hartford club secured another good player yesterday when Manager Dan How ley signed Pitcher George Penning- ton, the chunky boy who formerly twirled for Lawrence, Mass. Pen nington jumped the Portland, Ore, club last season because he did not like the coast.
 To land the crack pitcher Manager Howley had to hand over a tidy sum. Several other clubs in the East have also been after Pennington and | factor which had mucn to do with the l deal whereby the Brooklyn beaver I comes here is the friendship between 1 the Hartford pilot and the Portland i owner. Howley caught for Portland six years ago and out on the far | coast proved a great favorite with 1 the fans. The Portland club resorted l to every means in it's attempt to in | duce Pennington to return for the coming season but the pitcher re- tained his firm stand in refusing to | work on the coast.
 Pennington incurred the displeas- ure of the Portland owner last season, when he performed the Thur dle actr. Portland, at the time, was
 in the thick of the pennant race and
 Pennington's jumping the clut
 worked havoc with the team for the
 remainder of the season. Accord

Chick Bowen, Giants
 Recruit, Was Always
 Star Against Yale

As a high school, town team, and college player, Chick Bowen, the Hedging New York Giant outfelder, was peculiarly effective against Yale teams. The New Haven High school team of 1914, of which Bowen was a, member, sustained it's sole defeat in a game with the Yale freshm en by a score of 5 to 2, but Chick ae- counted for both runs registered by his club with two circuit drives. In 1915, Bowen played with the New Haven CoIonials, an amateur. team which defeated the Yale Freshmen led by Harry LeGore, by a score of g to 8. In that game Chick collected single, a double, and a triple. Last year the Holy Cross teanD explained by Bowen won from Yale by score of 10 to 2, and again Chicks batting was an important factor in the over- throw of the Eli outfit.

 Weight throwers of every description must of necessity, it seems, be pow erful strapping men. They usually are. But some years Ego in New York Julian Elliott a school-boy wiegh- ing but 145, slirnly built at that came near lowering records established by Ralph Rose and Pat Mcdonald. He hurled the 1S-pound shot 46 feet com l bining driving force and a form well nigh perfect. He lacked only the bulk to make him the greatest weight men of all time. But his flaw1ess form was the envy of the best of the giant weight men in those days. 1 Joe Stecher looks like a little fel- low compared to some of the Coarse Cossacks and Ternpble Turks he comes to grips with. But when the Iowar begins to t<cut up'' with his scissors he makes them all feel pretty small at any rate.

WALTER HAGEN MAY NOT DEFEND
 HIS GOLF TITLE

New York. Feb. q = By selecting the second week of July for it's open ing cham mpionship the Metropolitan Golf Association has left so very little of margin between that event and the British open that there is just a possibility that Walter Hagen will not defend his title, and that neither the American professionals such as Jim Barnes, Jack Hutchinson and Tom McNamara, who are going over to England, or the British experts who are coming here, will be seen in action in. that particular tournament
 Possibly the M. G. A. has not afed without first giving consideration to
 the date of the British open at Deal. but as it has been announced that
 event will begin on June 2S this would make it necessary for the Americans and British experts to start this way the end of that week at the very latest if they are to take part
 in the Met" play. If on the other hand they should decide to stay over into the following week 1t will be next to impossible for them to arrive
 here in time to compete for the hon
 ors winch are now held by Hagen. Fortunately word has been received
 from England that Harry Vardon, Edward Ray, George Duncan and Abe
 Mitchell practically have completed their plans to take their departure
 for the United tates immediately after the conclusion of the British open championship. This is where the ray of hope begins to filter through
 the dark clouds of doubt. June 2S
 will fall on a Monday, so by Saturday of that week Vardon, Ray,Duncan and Mitchell should be aboard their steamship. bag and baggage, ready
 for the voyage and all without hay | ing had to hustle undufy.
 That arrangement would allow l them one full week to make the 1 trans Atlantic crossing and then a few days besides to regain their land 1 legs and familiarize themselves with l the course over which the Metropoli- i tan championship is to be played. It is to be supposed that the Ameri- l cans will return with the British con- i tingent, so while there is just a pos l sfbility that the Metropolitan open | championship this year will have to l get along without the titlehoder and the other ''big guns there is, on the
 contrary, the prospect of the event
 seeing the greatest muster of artillery that has ever opened up along the l American golf1ng front

Henry Osborne Gets First Defeat in 9
 Years of Cue Play

Henry S. Osborne, the Algonquin club veteran, lost his first inter-cIub match in nine years when Jack In go1dsby of the Bridgeport club beat him last night by 125 to 53, at pocket billiards. The match was one o& three played at the Bridgeport club and drew large crowd. The Bridge porters took two of the three matches.
 Ingoldsby and Osborne went along on even terms for about six frames and then the Bridgeport club expert took the lead by making a run of 2S. He was never headed after that. Al Grinrod of the Bridgeport club won from Eugene Norton, Algonquin, by 125 to 99. William Booth, A1gon- quin, defeated Ty Hettinger, Bridge port, by 125 to 73. Last nights re- suits give the Bridgeport club a lead of one half game in the pocket bill Hard tournament. The Algonquins are second the Masonic club third

Robertson-Cole Go.
 Singed Up Carpenter
 For Movies in U. $

Georges Carpenter, world war hero idol of France, heavyweight cham pion of Europe and the most talked of man in the world today has been signed by Cole, Inc, to ap- pear exclusively in motion pictures distributed by that firm
 The important announcement was given to the film trade in the follow ing statement of R. S.. Cole:
 sSIn view of the various conflicting reports which have been circulated as to Carpenter coming to this eoun- try, and also as to his having been engaged to appear m motion pie lures, we feel it advisable to clear up the uncertainty by making the de finite announcement that there has been executed at Paris an agreement between this company, Descamps, and Carpenter, whereby we have the exclusive right to Carpenters ser vices in a motion picture to be pro duced in this country and intended for worlds distribution.
 The writer was in London and present at the Beckett-Carpentier fight, and in view of Carpentier's vic | tory realized he must naturally be the l logical opponent for Dempsey, and that in view of this the American public would be extremely interested , in becoming better acquainted with Carpenter He therefore immedi- ately opened negotiations with him with the idea of arranging along the lines specified above. The negotia- dons were carried on by the writer's partner from the time that the writ CT left London, with the final result | that a definite contract has been en- tered into. ''Carpentier, together with his
 manager Descamps, will proceed tc l America on March and will star
 his screen work for our production
 immediately upon his arrival
 Motion picture producers were af | ter Carpenter the minute the bi;
 Frenchman sent Beckett, pride o
 England, to the floor for the count
 Cole was present at the bout los
 no time in signing the Frenchmal and before Carpenter left the stad ium on that eventful night, Cole in terviewed him.
 Although Carpenter had sagne with Robertson-Cole several week ago, officials would not make know : : the fact until the contract bearin ! the champs signature together wit Descamps, his manager, was in tn
 New York office.
 Robertson-CoIe executives realize the immense drawing power of th l French idol. To back up his worl i war record, is his position in th athletic world. Acclaimed a mary,

MILAN CLAIMS BAD CONDITION
 COST HIM RACE

New York, Feb. 21.-A most in- trresstine document has come across from Scandinavia in the form of 1etter written by D. R. Scanlon, man ager of Bobby Mclean, the erstwhlle skating champion of the world Just four days before Bobby met Oskar Mathieson of Norway at Chr1s1anla jn the series of races that dethroned +s.e American champion of the uni verse
 Retween the hines of Scan4on's bet- ter it is easy to read that McLean made the mistake of his career in not making the arrangements to ar rive on the scene of the races at least fa,irty days before meeting Math1e- son. In this respect the fear eX- 1.res4sed in this column on the day that Mclean sailed for Norway that T2obhv's racing form would be af- fected by the long voyage across the Atlantic was completely borne out
 paragraph from Scanlon's letter, : descriptive of the conditions that Mo Lean faced just before the races In fine Franges Rink, follows:
 ..since Bobby's arrival here we 7,av,e had two bad snowstorns and 5 +1a last few days it has been rain- j,g and has been 40 degrees above zero. This has made it hard for him to get in any real good training, put vUe are hoping for colder weather be- fore the race, so we can get along and see what he can do on thas track He has been greatly handicapped or account of the twelve-day trip ron New York and has not been able tt .et any real training since his com ing here, but he IeelS E$1S cohAue1t > that he will win.
 .>Hathieson has been training con 4fIuaIFv since November and ap hears to be in very good shape. Tn climate here has not yet seemed t. affect Mclean and he is feeling phys ically fit. It will depend upon the ic now. but we have at least thre v5avs before the race so as to giv him a chance to skate on this neN track. We will get about 5e,000 kron on for our share of the receipts. Thi sae1ns to be a whole lot of money fo . skating match. When we receiv the money we are going to have
