SPRING WORK NOW
HASANEW STYLE
Inter League Contests VIII Be
Played on Many Diamonds
In HickIand.
By HARRY NELLY.

Spring styles in baseball training,
like feminine headgear. are chansing.
Time was when the major league
clubs toured the provinces playing
the swamptown swAtters and other
teams, members OF which were wont
TO put on their spiked shoes before
donning their pants. BY this means
the treasury was well ofed.
The White Sox were known TO di-
vide their forces into three parts, each
OF which had a daily combat With
some hick team all the way back from
the coast and through western
League territory. The athletes
naturally had done a season's work
before the championship battles
started.
The Cubs tried this plan three years
ago. splitting into two parts. One
schedule was so well devised TO comb
the provinces OF each nimble nickel
that on a certain Sunday the second
team dressed about daylight. boarded
a trolly car, played a morning game,
took another trolley, enjoyed lap
lunch, played a bali game, had an.
other ride and got out of the gar
ments OF their trade just as the Call
fornia sun was falling into the Pacinc
ocean.
Now It's Diaerest.
This year there is a decided ten
dency to hook up with some club
in the other big league, playing ex-
hibition games homeward. Already
eight clubs have so arranged and four
| more are considering. Pittsburgh
wants to engage the Sox, but probably
will not.
The champions of Cincinnati will do
battle with Washington. The Ath-
letics and Cardinals will strive for
the upside down championship, no
doubt The Yankees and Brooklyn
get together, concluding with a series
at Ebbets Field. The Red Sox and
the Giants do likewise, only their big
northern appearance is at the Peis
| Grounds.
| Detroit and the Braves of Boston
| are concluding negotiations, while the
Pirates, who toll at Hot Springs. Ark.
have challenged, both Cleveland and
/ the White Sox. This leaves the Phil
/ lies. Browns, Cubs. and either Cleve-
| land or the Sox without travelling
| companions The Phillies, however,
/ train in Florida, so 1t will be easy for
them TO get suitable training games
| in that portion of the Y. 3. A
Cubs Have Good Field.
The Cubs, of course, will find
plenty of opposition from the Pacinc
/ Coast clubs which are good In the
/ spring. Most of these players spend
their winters in California and engage
| in baseball during the months that
are chilly in the North and East.
| Aside from. the Cubs the other
major league outfits are going TO
Texas or Florida, with the exception
of the Athletics. who use Lake
Charles, La, the Pirates at. Hot
/ Springs and the Phillies at Birming-
ham Connie Mack's men, Pittsburgh;
/ a nd the Phillies are within easy reach
| of the Texas contingents.
| 1t is expected interleague games
| there will furnish much better train
! ing than IL weak opponents were en-
countered. Furthermore, only small
| percentages must be left In the South
ern towns. whereas IL home teams
| are encountered at least 40 per cent
of the gate stays where it is col
| lected.

HARVARD ELEVEN STARTS
JOURNEY BACK HOME

PASADENA, Cal, Jan. 4-The Har-
ward football squad has begun the
long return journey to Cambridge,
Mass, fully repaid for the twice
trip by the 7-to-6
victory gained here over the Uni
versity OF Oregon eleven. The Grim
son victory was the first scored by
an Eastern team in the annual inter
sectional football game here.
Discussion today by critics of the
game largely concerned the ability of
Casey, Harvards sensational back
field man, in catching forward passes
and freeing himself from tacklers, and
A Horween's line plunginC during
the final period. Church was given
credit for much effective punting.
Little, Manerud, and Steers, whose
drop kicks brought the Oregon score
to within one point of the z; Har-
wards touchdown by Church. and goal
by A. Horween, also came in for fav-
orable mention.

PARIS GONE WILD
OVER CARPENTER
FrenChmen Can't See How Jack
Dempsey Can Ever Defeat
Their Hero.

PARIS, Jan. Paris is boxing mad
since its idol, Georges Carpenter, de-
feated Joe Beckett, and il is a hard
matter to find a Frenchman who does
not think that Carpenter can defeat
Jack Dempsey. With the majority Of
French enthusiasts it is only a ques-
tion of how many rounds il will take
Georges to stop Dempsey when they
meet
r Where will the pugilistic plum be
fought? That is the big question here.
According to all accounts there is
going to be some pretty tall bid
ding for the battle. Charles b. Coch-
ran, who staged the Carpentier-Beck-
EFT fight, has an option on Carpen-
tiers services against Dempsey which
hold good until January 15. 1920.
Descamps, Carpenters manager, said
the other day that Cochran gives a
guarantee of $4,000, win, lose, or
draw, for the Frenchman's end.
From an outside source IL has been
learned that Cochran has a contract,
signed by Descamps, guaranteeing
Carpenter $4,000. There are several
other promoters bidding for the fight.
and 1t is going to cost the promoter
who lands 1t a pile of money.
