LOOKING OVER THE SPORTING FIELD
Jimmy Wilde Is Picking His
 Own Foes

New York, April S.---Ji1nny Wilde, the little man of big money guaran- tees, will get another 11andibagful of American greenbaclzs on April 21 when he faces Battling Murray be- fore the recently organized Camden Sportsmens Club of Camden, N. Jn in an eight round bout Murray has done all his fighting around Phladel- pIlia and for that reason is little known to the New % York fans. He has given a good account of himself, however, when called Tpon to meet men of his weight in the Quaker rings.
 It is not known just what James is getting for this bout, but it is surely up around the $10,006 mark, as that is the figure that Jimmy seems to have settled on no matter who the probable victim.
 Jimmy via not come down in his price, no matter what opponent is suggested, and what is more, Eng lands great little warrior bold has taken to selecting them himself. He will not listen to talk of bouts with Jack Sharkey, Pal Moore or Joe Lynch and the New Jersey fight i'm presarios shout very loudly that Jimmy does not intend to fight them in this country, reserving that privi- Iege for dear old London.

YANKEES DENY
 OFFER TO SEND
 TRIO TO BOSTON

Chester, s. C., April S-Colonels Ruppert and Huston owners of the Yankees, deny that any trade with been reported than Hannah, Pratt Schange, McNaIly and Witt, was pro posed by the Yankee owners.
 The following statement was given out by Colonel Huston last night:
 Manager Barrow wired Manager Huggins repeatedly to let him have an outTelder, utility infielder and a catcher
 'SThe New York club was disposed to loan Bod1e to the Boston Club in it's emergency, and to help them with other material, but Fewster's injury developed so seriously, and when Baker announced his retirement Manager Barrow was telegraphed that we were compelled to use all our trading material to strengthen our weak infie3d, but that the Bos- ton club would have first chance ar any player we might dispose of
 '+Scout Kelly went to visit Bar row to ascertain whether a trade was possible or not, but Kelly was not in structed, nor did he make any such proposition as to trade Hannah, Pratt and Bodie for Sci1ang, McNaIIy and Witt
 we are sorry that Manager Bar row misunderstood Scout Kelly mission, and regret if the latter 8 trip embarrassed the Boston club in any way'

HARMONY GREAT WORD IN MAJOR
 LEAGUE CLUBS

Baseball fans hear a lot about har- n1ony these days. Whenever a good team gets down in the rut about mid-season the alibi is always abou. the same-Iots of quality but lack Of harmony. No less than a half dozen major league clubs are going to work on the harmony thing this season, and in some eases it would seem the harmony is going to be asked to take the place of quaIfty or class.
 One of the latest entrants in the ''harmony' stake is the Philadelphia club in the senior circuit. Gavvy Cravath, with what was generally conceded to be a mediocre crowd started spring training at Birming- because they were no loggerhea ds on the outfit and everybody was ready and willing to actually exert himself to punt the Phils in the race. Maybe Cravath has found the key to success in the handling of the Quak-
 CT crowd, for with. Dots Miller, Paulette, Bancroft, Rixey, Tragres-
 sor, Cy Williams and a crop of real
 ly promising youngsters, it would
 seem he had sufficient class to show something worth while.
 Then the Pirates are entered in the 1 harmony stake, too. George Gib- son took the helm that was formerly 1 handled by Hugo Bezdek, and al though he does not seem, to have an impressive roster with him at Hot l Springs, "Gibby' has the crew act 1 ing like a family of sweethearts and | ''playing their heads off, Toward | the close of the 1919 campaign the | Pirates were frequently accused o1 | having soured on Bezdek. If suct
 was the case they will get an entire, l Iy new deal this spring.
 1 The Boston Red Sox are entered l too. F'razee says he let Ruth ou 1 because the big fellow was 'crab.' ; He parted with Mays for the same | reason-he said. When Ruth wa:
 tagged and sent along to New York
 Frazee said Barrow could do nor,
 without stars, but, with harmony
 than he could with a. dozen Ruths
 With such a classy field of starter
 in the Harmony Special ther' ! should be some grand baseball in thu l majors this season. The fans will b. | pulling for Cravath, harmony or n' | harmony, because the Quaker leade | is a hard worker and was not pop 1 ular choice for the managerial berH ] when he received it

McGRAW AT AT
 HAS SPENT 3I
 YEARS IN GAME

Rocky Mount. N, C.. April s - Thirty-one years ago youngster signed a contract to play with the Clean club of New York. At thtlt period of his life he was unknown and the small salary that he received from the Clean club would not stretch over many days in these times of high cost of living and profiteering.
 Yesterday afternoon in this town of Rocky Mount, this same youngster, now much older and with streaks of gray running through his hair and to the other, celebrated his filth birthday by sitting on the bench of the new ball park here and directing g his youngsters and regulars in a dou- ble header against the Rochester and Rocky Mount clubs.
 In those 31 years John Joseph Mo Graw has crowded in a life of base ball First he gained fame as one of the greatest third basemen in the country and then as manager of the Giants. The little manager finally realized his greatest ambition not so long ago when he purchased the New
 York club with Charles Stoneham. On next Wednesday McGraw will begin his 18th year as manager of ] the Giants. He signed his first con tract with the club on July T, 1902 His coming and his success as a man. i ager has made baseball in New York what it is today. In IS years Mo Graw has won six National League pennants and one worlds champion ship.

Carpenter Pleases
 By Affable Nature
French Champion Accepts Many Invitations and Shows American Champions Something By His
 Diplomatic Manner

CTS. Maybe twas his nature; never theless, he was distant and that's what we're talking about.
 With this classy Frenchnnan con- dftions are far different. Wherever he is invited and can find the time to go he is there. Possibly he goes there figuring on the publicity. II so, that proves his sInartness. The most successful part of all his moves is that he makes them naturally and in such a manner that he creates an atm ospbere of good nature wherever he is.
 The other night he visited Newark to witness a few bouts. His pres enee was advertised and brought out quite a number of spectators. He worked all day in a studio and wae worn out but Insisted upon fulfilling his engagement.
 There isn't the least doubt that Georges Carpenter is the best adver- tfsed figure in this wide world. A few weeks with him shows why he is such an attractive parsonage. This visitor goes out of his way to make every person with whom he comes in contact more than comforta ble Whether it is his alertness or 5us1 natural feeling he only knows Jus the same, our publicity seekers car well afford to pay attention te Georges while he is in our midst.

Tanks Are LOafing
 On Manager Huggins
Players Drawing Big Salaries Play Indifferent Ball and Refuse to Hustle for Present Leader-Veterans
 Lead In These Tactics

GreenviIle, s. C., April S.-If the Yankees intend to get anywhere in the American League pennau1 race oI 1920. it is about time that they should get on to themselves and do a little hustling. Their game at GreenviI1e, Tuesday afternoon in which they were beaten by a score of to was disgrace to the name of major league baseball It is all right for a team to regard itself highly.
 But when that regard reaches the gance tEaere is only one general di- rection in which such an aggregation can head And such 8, direction might possibly disturb the seclusion of Con nie Mack's perennial cellar cham pions before the season has ended Huggins has as fine a lot of ma terial that it ever was the lot of a major league manager to command He isn't getting results simply be cause his men take neither their manager nor themselves seriously. The Yankees are far from being in good shape. Today they are just about where Brooklyn was after the first week in Jacksonville. Robin sons pitchers are on the razor edge as finely a groomed pitching staff as ever faced the f1agfau. Huggins's pitchers are not ready-hardly any
 of them.
 Hugs is a team that has to have 1 good pitching if it is to get any
 where. He has a slow club-a pain fully slow club - that will have tc

New York; April s-Theugh Georges Carpentfer has only been in this country for a very short time he has shown such wonderful eleverness that every smart manager or public ity agent would find him a good less on. It is quite revelation to notice that this famous figure in sport and war does anything asked if within reason. In fact, he steps out Of his way to be accommodating.
 This start1es all who can recoIdect the tour of former champions. It was only a few years ago that Jess Willard came to this city after sever ing the shaclzles from the white man of the fighting world. Instead of entering the town with the expected bang of the toIn-tenas he erept in silently and refused to face his wer- shippers That is unless they step ped right up to the box office and separated themselves from much mon ies.
 Then revert to the time that Jim Jeffries, sullen and sour, swung through here just before he fought Jack Johnson. There was no affabil- ftY a9cc7at the big fellows just a fight CT according to his actions. When not on the stage Jeff held himself ateof from his admirers and natural fy didn't increase his army of ido1at

Frisch Makes Good
 As Giant InfieIder

Frank Frisch, who is speedily de veIoping into one of the best third basernen the National League has seen in a long while, is defighting Texas fandom by his play at the far corner We'll as Frank looked at the third bag in the practice sessions at San Antonio, he has looked even bet ter against the Red Sox.
 The Boston bafters have slammed some savage drives down the third base line, but to date none has got by F'risct. Once or twice he has been .bowled over by the force of the lblows but he always has bobbed up with the peIfet c1utched firmly in his hands. He'll be a real star this year, make no mistake about that.

hit ir into double figures every day ming runs It is band that must crush its way through by the sheer power of s4ugging. And yet it is a team that boasts that driving power and which should boast the pitching too, if all the Yankees were deter mined to make the best of their op- portunitieS-
 verbally parsimonious, should so lightly regard a seasons pay in the form of possible Worlds Series spells is a problem, come to think of it. But the team isn't serious, hasn't been all spring, and if it con tinues on it's present neglectful way will make up only when too late, like the Braves did in 1915. The trip so far has been more or less of a joy ride. Each unit was his own indi- vidual manager. And nobody seems to care a rap so long as he can get by with the least possible effort and exertion- A mighty bad spirit seems to have crept into the Yankee ranks and, unfortunately, it seems preva- lent among the older men more noticeably than in the younger set

A high wind blew across the field through out the contest and rendered fielding very difficult. As a result numerous errors were made by both teams.
 After the home nine had scored five runs during the first four inn ings, the Maroon aggregation finally succeeded in pushing a run across the plate in the fifth frame on successive doubles by Mclaughlin and Hallor> an.

 BADLY HURT IN
 CAME IN SOUTH

Chester, S. G. April S-The Yan- kees took their customary beating at the hands of the Brooklyn Dodgers here yesterday, but this time they took it standing the Dodgers being forced to the limit to pull out a ninth inning victory, to 5-
 Brooklyn jumped into an early lead by making a superfluity of base hits with Quinn's wiIdness for four runs, in the second inning, but the Tanks came back in the fifth with five at the expense of Sherrod Smith, who suddenly wilted after pitching fine ball over the early route The Dodg- CTS tied it in the eighth against Rip Collins as a result of MitchelPs triple that Ruth badly misjudged and young Hoods sacrifice fly to Wick. Then came the ninth and the inevit- able Yankee equalization
 The result of the game virtually assures the Dodgers of the long end on the series, which now stands 8 to in their favor Five games re- main to be played, two on the road and three in Brooklyn, and the best the Tanks can do is to tie it up by taking all five, which they are not likely to do- They are playing more or less indifferent baseball at the moment, and the numerous injuries that are falling to their lot, is not helping the situation to any appre- ciab1e extent.
 The latest Yank to join the casu- alty list is Aaron Ward of the regular infield, who left for New York to rest a. strained leg Ward twisted the
 member in sliding into second base during Tuesdays affair at Greenville md al I1crI1 hm SA5 in tIn 1 game to the finish, the fragments 1 frightened during the night and he 1 was barely able to walk. It is not | likely that he will be able to play 1 until the opening game of the season
