Giants Sign Recruit
 Twirler From West

New York Jan. 16-James c. Gar ton, a young right-handed pitcher, yesterday was purchased by the Giants from the Tulsa club of the Western League. While Western League records are not yet available, Carton was one of the top-liners and is strongly recommended by Dick Kinsella, chief of the Giant scouting department. The youngster is 21 and college graduate.
 Eagle Eye' Dick says Carton is one of the best pitching prospects that he came across last year, and even though Carton may not be ready for immediate use, he has chances of developing into a top-notcher. With the famous Giant pitching quin- tet of Toney, Douglas, Barnes. Nehf and Benton there isn't much chance for any youngsters.
 However, while the Giant team is made up largely of men who were purchased when their regulations al- ready were made. McGraw intends to take quite a squad with him this spring. There always is the chance that one of these green youngsters will develop into a Matty Or a Col linS.

CiCOtte Declares He Discover d Iy Cobb Tipped Major League Managers Off to Georgia Peacn When Latter Was Youngster Down on Augusta
 Club In South Atlantic League

Eddie Cicotte, the White Sox pitch CT, recently was credited py blty Evans, the umpire, as being the ols- coverer of Ty Cobb. Both were teammates on the 1905 Augusta Sally League team, Cicotte having been left in Augusta by the Tigers, who lraln- ed there the previous spring. Clcotte then tipped off the Detroit manage
 ment to the young jewel, who was playing the outfield on the Augusta team.
 But Billy didn't tell half about that 1905 Augusta team. No minor league club, especially no minor
 fea--1e of Glass c classification, ever had such a wealth of embryonic tal- ent.
 In 1905 the Augusta team had Ty
 Cobb, the leading batsman; Pitchers
 Eddie Cicotte and Nap Fucker, and
 Second .Baseman Clyde Engle, who
 later came to the Tanks, yet the
 club finished only fourth in a six
 club league.
 But the freak part of it all is that
 Connie Mack, manager of the Ath- letics, whose team won the American League pennant that year, had an option on any one of the Augusta players That was after Cobb had been SOl0 to D6IFO1t Having already two crack left handlers in Plank and Wadde1l, Con nie passed up Fucker to take Holmes; a right handler, who never amounted to anything in Philadelphia. Cicotte had the best record of thu 1 three pitchers, fifteen victories ant nine defeats. Fucker had thirteel victories and eleven defeats. Holmes 1 however, was the Joe McGinnity O 1 the staff for ability to work, as h 1 had thirteen victories and twenty de ] feats. He was the player selecte' i by Mack.

WHY II
 CANCELLED ALL
 HARVARD GAMES

Boston Jan. 16-The Boston Col lege weekly paper, the Heights, yes terday stated the fact concerning it's relations with the Harvard Athletic Association The Heights says:
 Several articles in the Boston pa pers last week made statements very wide of the facts relative to the pro- posed track meet between B. c. and Harvard We submit here a simple bill of the facts.
 After the splendid showing that the B. c. team made in the Stadium, MT. Moore of Harvard intimated that the game had been such a success that in all probability B. c. would be given later date on the Harvard schedule next year. Captain Murray was enthusiastic and voiced this un- qualified enthusiasm as well as that of his team mates to one of the B. c. faculty, and expressed in no uncer- tain terms the sporting right that the college on the heights had earned of being on the Harvard schedule next year. This sentiment was clearly re- flected in all the daily papers for the week ensuing. But the weeks slipped by and a subtle change seemed tc come over the governing athletic au- thorities at Cambridge. Finally the Harvard schedule appeared and Bos- ton College was not on it. True enough, only sporting right ha6 been violated. Be 1t so.
 Some weeks later the graduate athletic board of Boston College saw fit not to ratify the proposed game Of baseball and hockey with Harvard Harvard gave no reasons for refusin! Boston College a game of football Boston College gave no reasons fo refusing Harvard a place on the B C. baseball and hockey schedules.
 ''Susequent to this action of tn graduate athletic board of Bostol College the captain of the Harvar track team proposed over the tele phone to Graduate Manager Reynold a triangular meet between Bosto College, I. T. T. and Harvard. Tn Harvard captain was then informe that there was slight probability c the proposal meeting with the fave of the graduate athletic board ( Boston College. Mir. Reynolds, how ever, at the instance of the Hal ward captain, courteously promised { bring the matter up at the ne, meeting of the graduate athleti Spoard. This was done, in fact, fe Says later. The decision of the boar had been clearly foreseen. It did n' care to entertain the proposed trial Gular meet. MT. Reynolds at ont informed the Harvard captain track of the boards decision.

"The Fugitive's Life"

'fThe Fugitive's Life" the narrative of the meeting of Al Jennings the celebrated eN-bandit, with O. Henry, writer of short stories, in a little vil- lage of Honduras, at time when the two were able to take part in a revo- lution brewing just then, has been completed. Al Jennings, himself, plays the part of the adventurous bandit, while Clarence Apeck is sur prisingly similar to the real O. Henry for his portrayal of that character.

HOROSCOPE

SUNDAY. SEPT. 5. 1870.

SUNDAY. SEPT. 8, 1920.
Ill-favored aspects rule this day, nc
eording to astrology. and it is lucky that
business is suspended. Jupiter, Uranus,
Mercury, the Sun and Saturn are all in
malefc aspect.
Under this government of the stars the
mind is likely to be uncertain and dis
turbed. 1t is well to practice coneentra-
tion and to reflect upon pleasant subjects.
Uranus is in place believed to encour-
age the most gloomy views of business
prospects and political conditions, but
the effects Of this ill-omened sway may
be overcome by positive attitude Of
mind.
Ministers, lecturers and public speakers
may find audiences cold and unresponsive
today, and unusual tact will be necessary
to overcome unfavorable conditions.
