RED SOX FEEL DOWNCAST OVER
 POOR SHOWING

Iackson. Tenn, April S-An hands including the players them selves. are dOwncaSt over the lament able showing of the Boston Red Sox in their series against the Giants Unless HaEry Frazee opens up his money bags and buys players right and left it s feared that a second division birth is the inevitable late of the club
 The Giants should spot the Red sox about ten runs a, game and then thev at least can make the exhibi- +ioT serje4z close HoIborrow and IIesure, young pitchers, have abso- l11teIy nothing that can stop the Giants They have shown in and out form and their habit also was adopt ed by the rest of the club Although the defense of the Spx looks it's worst it is no comparison to the weakness in hitting.
 The Red Sox are all het-up over the report that Wally Schang will be traded for Ping Bodfe, if such a change can be arranged. To a man they declare Schang too valuable 3 r,Iaver to be let out because of a sal ary difference
 For a. time it looked as though Hooper, Foster, Menosfzy, HendryS and McInnis would be good hzttinG combination, but they have failed Whether it is because they are not hustling because these games do moi mean anything is not known They should hit better, however, because every one of them is considered . good player and usually bats around the 300 mark
 There is no doubt but the defen- siye playing of the Sox will brighter up before the season opens Foster Scott, McNaI1y and McInI1is are con sfdered a good inf1eld, but they dC not look as good as the Giants righ now. Probably by the time the sea son is under way two CT three week: they will be right and give the Bos ton fans plenty of chance to be fo1 them.
 The outfie1d and the catching de partment are going to keep the So7 in the second division, if new men ar not obtained. Menosl1y, Hendryx asnt Hooper art not hitting trio, an' there is nothing good to say abou the ground covering they can do We all know that Hooper is there but it has been the same story sine Duffy Lewis and Speaker Ist,a and tha is he cannot cover the outfield alone
 Hard-I1itting and ground-coverfn, outfieIders must be obtained. Pin Bodie would make a good man t strengthen the batting departmen and Manager Barrow has started ne gotiations for his release. He ha offered Wally Schang, holdout catch CT, and wants Bodie and two othe players, preferably an out6eIder an a pitcher. for Schang.

PHIL DOUGLAS
 KEPT STRAIGHT
 BY BETTER HALF

Nashville, Tenn, April s-The fair hand of feminisrn not only rocks the cradle but finds time to set itself to many another task. Even baseball responds to it's magic touch, as the case of the new Phil Douglas will at test.
 ShuffIin Philip, from the Oak Slab Hills of Tennessee, has donned his seven league boots and is coming up the trail at leaps and bounds. A year ago he had plunged to the pits; was regarded as a broken warnin g to other young pitchers with pen chant for the gilded course. Even an opportunity to pitch for the Giants in that last desperate drive for the pennant against the Reds last summer failed to bring him back. Black oblivion yawned before him. It took a. woman, Mrs. Phil, to lead him off the shoals and now Phil Douglas is settling himself for the ! best season of his career. Douglas l has it in him, according to John Me Graw, to be one of the leading pitch <, CTS in the National League
 | Mrs. Douglas joined her husband when the Giants reached New Or 1 leans and will accompany him along l the remainder of the route- Together
 with John McGraw she is superfn- tending the big fellows rehabilita- 1 ton, not because she believes he needs it but because she realizes how
 much a fellow like Phil appreciate:
 a word of encouragement now ana l then and to what lengths he will gc ! with the missus leading the cheering section.
 And under the visitant eye of Mrs
 Douglas you can wager the price of {
 pound of sugar that Phil is attend. 1 ing strictly to business. Early to be-
 and early to rise is the daily sched ule now. As result he is as fit a.
 9 thoroughbred at the barrier for th'
 heavy fighting that looms beyond
 His appears to be a real comeback He has entered into the project witt
 a spirit McGraw never expected hin to show, for all of which we may | thank Mrs Douglas.

Jacksonville, Fla, April 5-Mider Hugsins decided on a daring stroke in reforming his infield for the open ing game of the American League season on April 14. He will make Bob Meusel, the young California giant, regular third baseman of the Tanks, despite the fact that the lad has played comparatively few games at third in his baseball career. AF of his time has been spent at firs' base or in the outfeld.
 With F'ewster certain to be of no use to his club until July, and with Frank Bakers final and emphatic ''No" ringing in his ears, Huggins told MeuseI to consider himself the regular and sole occupant of the ''hot corner" and to prepare himself in every way to make good.
 Beginning Monday there will be games every day with the Robins on the way North until the day before the regular season opens. In this sI7ort time must a championship team be manufactured.
 Huggins thinks it can be done He has told Meuse1 not to be bothered by newspaper stories that Baker may re- consider and come back to the club. HJggins doesn't expect Baker to re- consider. He has put Baker entire. ly out of his scheme of reorganiza-

Carl Johnson Could Not Show Up Thorpe
 Or Alvin KraenzIein

New York, April 5-When Jack Moakley, remarked that he thought Carl Johnson, of Michigan, was the greatest all around athlete ever de- veloped among the colleges the Cor nell track mentor must have been try ing to please the Michigan visitors that were Corne1Fs guests at the dual track meet. Certainly Jack hasn't so soon forgotten Alvin Kraenzlein. Neither is it possible that MoakIey never heard of an athlete named Jim Thorpe. Perhaps Jack, however is of the opinion that the Carlisle Indian School, Thorpe's alma mater, is not 3, college.
 Rating Johnson as q greater all around athlete than Alvin Kraenziein is a joke. A good comparison be- tween Johnson and Kraenzlein will be offered if Carl comes on for the next intercollegiate track and field cham mpionships. Perhaps Johnson will equal the performances regis tered by Kreanzlein in the intercoI- 1egiate championships of 1899 and 1900-but it is to be doubted.
 In 1899, if our memory serves rightly, Kraenzlein was beaten by the slightest whisker by TewkSbury in the ''100'' with the timers returning 10 seconds and unofficial watches showing g 4-5 seconds; won the high hurdles in Is 2-5 seconds, the low hurdles in 23 4-5 seconds and the broad jump with 24 feet 1-2 inches.
 In 1900 Kraenzlein won the 100 yard dash in 'tevens," the high hur- les in Is 2-5 seconds, the low hur- dles in a romp in 25 Is seconds and only was beaten in the running broad jump by Myer Prinstein, whose American broad jump record of A feet 1-4 inches still is on the books for the present generation of ath- letes to shoot at.

STECHER MATCH WITH LEWIS MAY
 60 10 CHICAGO

New York April 3-It is possible that the final battle of the wrestling season-the duel between Joe Stecher the worlds champion and 'tStrangler'' Lewis may not be held in this city. This change of location came about yesterday through a wire received by Billy Sandow, the manager of Lewis. The telegram was from Joe Coffey, the Chicago promoter, and read as follows:
 Billy Sandow. New York:
 Will hang up purse of S20,o ,oG0 for Lewis and Joe Stecher to wrestle at the Coliseum, April 26, to a finish. Stecher will accept. Match up to you.
 "Joe Coffey."
 Sandow declared after the receipt of the wire that he preferred to have the |tStrangler'' wrestle Stecher in this city. He said he is positive that Lewis is in such superb condition that he will avenge the defeat he suffered at the hands of Stecher some time ago. Also he wants Lewis to win the title before the fans that witnessed his downfall in the match with the I champion
 i Though Jack Curley is anxious to stage the match Sandow added thai i the terms would have to equal the offer of the Chicago promoter | such is the case, then he will sign LII to wrestle Stecher here, providing the champion is agreeable. Whether Curley will meet the Western offer i. problematicaI, for the match would have to be staged this month, and i is impossible to secure a date at th' Garden. Sandow will not make { | move until he receives a final answei 1 from the New York promoter.

KAUFF'S DRIVE
 ALLOWS GIANTS
 10 BEAT BOSTON

Nashville, Tenn, April 3-Just when the Red Sox thought they final ly had won a game over the Giants yesterday afternoon, they woke up and found they had done nothing of the sort. For a good while the. out look for the Giants was rather un- promising, for they entered the ninth inning two runs to the bad. Then they staged one of those old fashion ed rallies and sent over three runs, winning the contest by 6 to 5. The victory made it seven out of ten for the New York club.
 Benny Kauff, Arthur Fletcher and Rube Benton played the leading roles in the eleventh hour rally, and to Kauff went the distinction of pushing over the run that conquered. Benton started the ruction at the expense of Waite Hoyt, when he sent double to right to open the ninth. Hoyt paid more attention to the slow footed Benton on second than he did to the task of taking care of Burns and the New York outfieIder walked. Young walked, too, and the bases were filled, with nobody out.
 Fletcher watched a. few come over and took healthy swat at the leather and sent it into centre for 6 long single which scored. Benton and Burns. Doyle attempted to lift sac rif1ce fly to right, but the ball went too short and too high and Larry's endeavor went for naugF1t- Kauff already had sent in two runs with a double in the third inning and again it devoIved upon him to fur nish the material for New York jolli- fcadon. He responded nobly, for he hammered the ball to centre and scored Young with the run which de time

In addition to a bad made by the Worcester club, several other teams in the Eastern league are casting long ing eyes at First Basenan Ray Grimes of the Bridgeport club. A number of offers have been made for the hard hitting first baseman but Manager Walsh of the Bridgeport club says they won't be considered He declares Ray is Q strong player and cannot be spared by the local club.
 The other teams have heard that Ray and his brother Eeoy were hold ing out for more money and they probably figured that Ray would be dissatisfied in Bridgeport because he would be returning as a private in
