NEW YORK MACS
CAN THROW MUD
SANE AS BULL
BY FRED TURBYvILLE.

CHICAGO, Feb. H.-When the Yam
KEGS bought Babe Ruth they started
something right in their own town.
Ever since they've been throwing The
bull back and forth. And by they we
mean the Colonels Rupert and Huston
Of the Yanks on the one side and Pres
ident Stoneham and John McGraw Of
the Giants, on the other.
The Giants are jealous oH The pub
llcity and the limelight attained by t1s
Yanks in their master str)ke OF WIN
ming over the fans during the cold
drear months.
The Giants haven't as yet connected
with Rogers Hornsby. and so all they
can DO is talk about that and other
things.
"This talk Of stoneham's about the
players deserving a raise In salaries Is
mud-slinging." a wise old baseballer
told me here "St0neham said he IA
vored Increasing the pay Of all his atm
letes. those under contract as well as
those yet unsigned.
AT the time Stoneham made MS
he had only a few or his play
ers under contract for 1920. He knew
ne had to raise the others. And 1t didn't
make much difference about the ones
who had signed up He knew that most
of the Yankees had not heon signed ana
he knew that talk would make s'me dii-
ference to them.
"It's an a mud-sllng'ng affair. Prac-
ticallv every club In the country mas
raised salaries this year. Everything
has gone up"

Of shoots for the cup donated by Gen
eral Manager E. B. German, over the
traps Of the Wilmington Trapshooting
Association at Bellevue. next Saturday
afternoon. The opening tourney was
held a month ago, but all Of the en,ries
have kept in good trim through regu-
lar practice held at the various clubs
about the city.
Since the first shoo., Red" Diede-
rlchs. Butch" Worn and Waddlngton,
who showed up so well as beginners, -
have become members Of the Whining

has been high man on two OF the last
four Saturdays and second high on the
other two. Pete Guest. one OF the run
ners up in the initial event, has also
been a regular performer with The
Wilmington TrapshOOting Association
and has been right among the leaders
each time out. George Tweedy. an
other runner up. will bear watching
along with the others mentioned but
none OF them will have II so soft tnat
they will not have 10 go at top speed
10 COP a leg on the trophy. Several
dark horses are looked for among the

in Saturdays shoot. while lrv Wraiten
and Lefty" Williams are in good
enough shape 10 be considered dan
gerous.
Two traps have been allotted the Har-
Ian shooters by the Wilmington Trap
shooting Association and a much larger
crowd is expected this time. The shoot
viii be held regardless Of the weather
and will start between i.30 and 3
O'Clock. No change in the handicaps
have been made, which gives those with
a generous allotment Of added birds a
better opportunity Of capturing leg
on the trophy.
Herb Albaugh, secretary OF the VIII
mlngton Trapshooting Association, mas
collected soma special trophies for the
Harlan men, which viii be AWARDED on
the class system They can be carried
home on the day Of the shoot by the
winners.
Several expert marbsmen. members
OF the various shoot clubs In this To-
cality were heard 10 remark at the
large amount Of fun had by the Harlan
men at their first tourney. stating that
they never saw so much good fellow

ton. That. no doubt. is one Of the rea-
