.HUGGINS ROUNDING
UP BALL PLAYERS
Yankee Manager Leaves Town to See
Frank Baker and Chick Fewster
Regarding Contracts.

Miller Huggins is en- route again. The
OF whose duties is to round UP recalci-
trant ballplayers. left town yesterday to
get in touch with several men whose tar
d!ness in coming to terms has increased
the clubs anxiety. Among them are
Frank Baker. regular third baseman, and
Chick Fewster. the most promising
youngster on the squad.
Huggins is rated convincing talker
lie signed Babe Ruth to an agreement the
very day his sale to the Yankees was an
nounced, and he has rounded up many
others since he came to the New York
club. Convincing Baker. however. may
prove the most difficult task Higgins has
ackled in some time. The Trappe, Nd,
farmer, who has announced his retire
ment annually since coming to the
Yankees, appeared to be more positive
'han ever in his intention last fall. Baker
claimed to have had surfeit of baseball
and asserted nothing could alter his mind
This time. 'vhe fact remains, however,
that with babe Ruth a member Of the
team the Yankees pennant and worlds
series chances loom up brighter than ever,
and the vision of an extra reward dang
ling before his eyes may tempt the one
time home run king"
Fewster, whose home is in Baltimore, is
counted on heavily by the Yankees as
utility inficlder and outfielder, with
regular berth in sight Cor him if Baker
fails to report or If one of the outfielders
does not travel major league gait.
Fewster is considered a ballplayer capable
CT making good either in the infield or
outfeld if played regularly, and Huggins
may find room for him even II all OF the
veterans come to terms In the mean
time Fewstcr himself is asking for sub
stantial increase in salary and Higgins
will attempt TO settle the question WIN
him before he returns to town.
There is a movement on foot among the
player element in the major leagues to
lave a veteran ballplayer named on the
National Baseball Commission. Those
supporting the idea assert that ball
player Of integrity is the logical man for
the position. as he is likely to best under
stand the ballpayer's side of any contro-
vcrsy. 1t is understood that club owners
in both leagues will be petitoned to vote
for ballplayer on the commission.

Connie Mack has announced that Joe

start at second for the Athletics next

to be made up is doubtful, but the proba-

EDWARD W. GARDNER
VICTOR WITH CUE
Defeats T. Henry Clarkson, 800 to
20l, in Eastern Title Game at
1872 Balkline.

BY becoming careless at stage when
Henry Clarkson of Boston lost chance
to take an uphill game from Edward W.
Gardner, of Montclair, formerly national
champion, at the opening of the Eastern
title tournament under the auspices of the
National Billiard Association decided last
night at the Amateur Billiard Club. The
count in favor OF Gardner was 300 to 26l.
: Clarkson who had been trailing most
of the way but nevertheless looking better
with almost every inning. threw away his
chance In the fortieth frame after he had
put together nineteen carroms in masterfu.
style. He still wanted % to end the game.
but he was playing so confidently and had
given such convincing indication of what
was I'm him a short time before with a
string OF 20. that many looked for him to
run out. However. after getting the worries
under perfect control at the end of the
table Clarkson inadvertently touched one
with his finger and there and then ended
his chances Gardner wanted only five
carroms more and these he quickly clicked
off on the set up which the Bostonian
left him.
Nineteen was a peculiarly unlucky num-
ber for Clarkson in the game. for In his
twenty-first inning he was similarity PEN
allied after running that many. UP to
that point that was his best cluster. but
two innings later he put on twenty-four,
and then in the thirteenth frame gave a
delightful exhibition which closed with
the missing of simple carrom at 70.
Gardner had had matters pretty much
his own way up to this stage, but he had
TO play the best he knew how thereafter,
for that high run brought the Bostonian
within less than thirty points of his total.
1t was in reply to this furry that the
Montclair veteran put on his best string.
this netting him &C. In addition to this,
Jeardner had a run Of 40 and was a trifle
too steady for Clarkson all the way
through.
In the first part of the match Gardner
disclosed a jerky draw stroke that often
caused him trouble. He missed snort
draw In his second inning and another in
the fifth frame. In the fifteenth inning
the veteran almost repeated the mistake
after he had run % caroms. Connecting
by the narrowest of margins, he left the
worries spread, but with a little def
manipulation he regained control and
never again was in trouble until on a
cross cushion he brought the run to a
finish on kiss-out with his string at 40.

Pittsburg will meet Francis s. Appeby.
