Hartford To Tackle Ruth and Yankees In
 Game Next Sunday

Hartford, April 12-The exhibition game between the New York Yan- kees and Dan HowIey's newIy-recruit- ed Senators, which will in the main give the fans a chance to see the re- nowned Babe Ruth and his trusty war club, will be staged next Sunday afternoon at the Wethersfeld avenue grounds.
 Necessary steps for the staging of the game, which will be for the bene- fit of the Camp Courant, were taken by Owner James H. CIarlzin yester- day when he secured permission to play the contest
 As a result the stage is now set for what should prove a big event in the annals of the game here. It will be the first time that the Hartford mag nate has brought big league club here to oppose his team since he has been connected with the outfit

Yet before that, an opposite style of milling was to his liking as may be gIeaned by his victories over Burns, Kaufman, Flynn, Ketchel and Jeff ries Joe Jeanette, on the other hand. using Johnson's own clever method of fighting gave the ex-champion seven of his hardest fights.
 Jess Wil1ard's biggest ring asset was his bulk and terrific punch. Jess knew something of the finer points of the game but he was far from clever. The big Kansan was bested at his own game, heavy walloping and man handling in general, when he met Dempsey at Toledo. Most of the re- verses suffered by champions in the other divisions have been at the hands of a fellow whose style was like their own. Clever boxers were soft prey for Terrible Terry McGovern's whir1ing fists. It took a chap who fought Terry with his own brand, to bring the great Brooklynite to the dust. Later Young Corbett was trimmed at the fighting without fril1s by Jimmy Britt.
 Battling Nelson was supposed to represent the most durable piece of fistic machinery ever. Ad Wolgast employing NeIson's own tactics of rush and slug, actually outclassed the Dane in a brutal 40-round en- counter.
 Stanley Kctche1. one of the great est of middle-weights found no trouble in defeating clever opponents with his rough-house style of war fare. He twice knocked out Jack O'Brien, one of the most skilled heavies. The only time Ketch was dropped by a man of his own size happened when he met Papke the second time. The Spring Valley ThunderboIt, a roughster like himself put Stanley down in the 12th after a

GIANTS THINK
 THEY GAN TAKE
 1920 PENNANT

New York, April 12.-The Giants should win the pennant. If condition counts-and it is by all odds the most vital factor in the early stages of the race-the Giants should step away from all other clubs at the out set and accumulate a substantial lead by the middle of the campaign, The main club New York must overthrow is Cincinnati Brooklyn, too, may figure, but hardly so much as New York or the Reds
 New York has condition in car loads. Cincinnati, accept it from an | authoritative source, has neither. l Miami, according to our infor1nants. | set such a dizzy pace the Reds ran | themselves ragged. The tinseI. the ! glitter the taste of lofty life in | Florida may be duck broth to the
 serfs of the diamond-especia1ly to a 1 member of Q title club-but it is 1 conducive to anything but good con- i dftfon. As a result the Reds are by l no means the Reds that conquered 1 the White Sox-not after a diet of 1 jazz and French pastry. Then, too,
 the Reds have not played enough against major league opposition this
 spring to give them the essential 1 edge.
 And Redband's froIfc amid the
 
 tide against the club. It will require
 everything to repeI the Giants at the i start. New York is coming up the
 trail with gears in high. It's pitchers , it's out1eld, it's catchers are better
 than those of any other club in the
 league. It's infield, save at first base , is sound as the Bank of ba1ly Eng, , land. If Kelly veers through at first , what more need we ask? And the chances are he'll do that very thing. i From this nook of observation il : appears certain New York and Gin
 cinnati will fight it out between 3 themselves with occasional challenge. 3 from Brooklyn and Chicago. Of tho , contenders beyond New York, Chi
 cago and Brooklyn appear bes
 equipped for long struggle. Botf , are strong in pitchers.
 As for the others, their future ii
 engulfed in doubt. At this juncturt
 none appears to have enough to carr!
 it the full route. Pittsburgh may glow . briefly. St. Louis is full of ffzz, bu ? like a bottle of pop weakens after thu cork is removed. Likewise Bostor
 and Philadelphia These clubs vii
 have to show much on the field be ' fore they merit title consideration. Still there is ever the chance O : the dark horse. Remember the Reds t He who pdefzed them to win in the @ spring would have been ushered to

fighting styles it is interesting, per haps prophetical, to note that in majority of cases ring champions have succumbed to foes whose fistic technique is identical to their own. Opposite methods of 6sticuffing have rarely succeeded, fighters being van quished by two-fsted challengers, boxers lowing to aspirants more skilled than themselves, and so on Figure it out for yourself.
 James J. Corbett is a noteworthy exception to the rule. Jinn's astenish- ing cIeVerness enabled him to de- throne John L. Sullivan, the king Of sluggers. Corbett, in turn, fell before a fighter pure and simple. Bob t1tz- simmons. Pompadour Jim being without peer as a boxer met his reverseS at the hands of contrasting
 styles. Sharkey and Jeffrdes both
 overcame him by lusty slugging.
 Jim Jeffries whipped Fitz with the latter's own undiluted, plain fighting
 tactics. Robert the Red relied oa heavy punching with a minimum al lowance of boxing deftness. Jeff willingly bartered srndtes with the
 deadliest walIoper of his day Fftz was beaten at his own game when he bumped into a left swing in the
 eleventh. He suffered the same fate in the second Jeffries' encounter all though the Big Fellow received one of the worst beatfngs even before he
 scotched the Cornishnan in the eighth Tom Shar4zey gave Jeffrdes his toughest fights, the seaman employ ing the champions own aggressive tactics.
 Jack Johnson furnishes another
 case of the victim of an opposite style. Lii Artha pitted his science and punch against Wi1lard's punch

RED SOX YOUNG PITCHERS FOOL
 GIANT LETTERS

New York, April 1z-The Giants and Red Sox closed their long Spring series at the Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon and for the Giants it was a quiet finish. After serving as door
 mat during the greater part of the series the Sox flashed some real base ball in the finale and bumped over the McGrawmen to the tune of to 0. The series ended with the Giants showing ten victories against five for the American Leaguers- Close to 15,000 fans yelled themselves hoarse for a run or two by the Giants, but | it was a wasted effort.
 i A pair of New York pitching dis 1 cards, Al Russell and Waite Hoyt, made the Giants attack fold up like | an opera hat whenever a run threat | ened. Aiding and abetdng the ex- Yankee and the one-ume Giant fling | CT was Mike Menosky, who contribut- ed half of the eight hits made by the 1 Red Sox and made possible both runs | scored by the carnnine-hosed troupe. A clash between the entire Boston squad, including Paddy Livingsto7 1 and the bench-warming division, and | Umpire K1em was. one of the high lights of the afternoon. Waite Hoyt shot ball over to Hack Eibei on | first base in the seventh inning in an 1 effort to catch Frank Frisch mapping and instead he caught Klem mapping | down near second. Frisch went into l the bag so fast that his momentum | carried him a foot beyond it, and 1 Eibel, after tagging him on the arm, 1 held the FordhaIn Flash in his tracks | K1em, down near second base and in a poor position to take in all the pro ' ceedings, declared Friseh safe.

Giants and Red Sox
 Argue on New Rules

Two more arguments anent the recent amendments to the baseball rules crept into one of the recent games between the Giants and the Red Sox in Nashville. Phil Douglas, who hurled the first five innings for the Giants was reprimanded by Um- pire Bill KIem for. grinding a ball in his glove.
 Douglas took issue with the un- pire, and asserted that the new rule governing the case did not state that he could not rub the pellet in his glove, but his objection was over ruled and the game proceeded after some delay

The Promise OF Bread

Out ON the frozen uplands.
Underneath the snow and sieet,
In the bosom of the ploughland,
Sleeps the Promise OF the Wheat:
With the ice for head and foot stane
And a snowy shroud outspread,
In the frost-iocked tomb OF Winter
Sleeps the Miracle of Bread,
With its hundred thousand reapers
And its hundred Thousand men.
And the click of guard and sickle
And the fails that turn again;
And drOver,s shout and the snap OF
whips
And the creak of horses tugs.
And thin red line of gingham girls
That carry water jugs;
And yellow stalks and dagger beard
That stab through cotton clothes,
Anddfarmer boys a-shocking wheat
In long and crooked rows,
And dustveiled men on mountain
stacks,
Whose 'pitchforks flash ad CLEAN;
And threshing engines shrieking
| songs
/, In syllables OF steam;
| And elevators painted red
| That lift their giant arms
| And beckon to the Harvest God
! Above the brooding farms:
And loaded trains that hasten forth
A hungry world to fill
| All sleeping just beneath the snow
1 Out yonder on the hill!
