Slogan of Dodgers
Is ''Six Straight
With Them Yanks''
From a Special CORRESPONDENT

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March 26-
Although the weather was unfavorable
for practice Unc.e Robbie took his
squad to their training grounds this
afternoon and put them on edge for
to morrow's combat with the Yankees.
The session lasted about two hours
and consisted chiefly of hitting and
fielding exercises. Burlcigh Grimes,
one Of the Dodgers moist ball hurlers,
pitched to the batters, and when he
decided he had enough Robbie replaced
him with young George MOZART, the
right handler who is displaying great
promise.
When MOZART grew tired Uncle
Robbie got his infeld together and
sent them through fielding drill
The rotund leader beltcd numerous
grounders to each member of the clubs

were made, in spite of the fact the
ground was wet.
Rube Marquard and Sherrod Smith
will probably be the Brooklyn pitchers
in to-morrow's game. The manager of
the confident Flatbush aggregation is
eager to score another shut-out victory
over the Yankees, and the players are
primed for the fray. Six straight is
their slogan.

senior Metropolitan Association cham
pionship held in conjunction with the
water carnival of the Brooklyn Central
Y. NJ. C. A. last night. Giebel won by
25 yards, the length of the tank, in the
fast time of minutes 28 seconds.
Finishing in second place was Fred
Kahele, Brooklyn Central Y. NJ. c. A., a
Hawaiian, who put up a remarkable
fight for two-thirds of the distance.
Clarence Ross, New York A. c., was
third. John Newnom and Arthur Lopes
completed the field of starters, but both
retired early when far outdistanced
Giebel's intermediate times for each
100 were I'LL, 2:27 3-5, 3 $40 3-5, 5:O4 2 5
and 6:28.
The title was the second won by
Giebel in three days. Wednesday eve

weeks Giebel, who is student at Rut-
gers College, has captured three title
competitions.

Shuffiin' Phil Douglas and John Call
houn "Rube" Benton, both Southern
gentlemen, presented the Ruthless Red
Sox with their nine runless innings.
The big spitballer officiated the first
five innings and was tabled for five
singles and a near run. The near run
came in the third inning. AL Walters,
the former Yankee, singled to center
and Waite Hoyt, who was doing the
pitching for the Red Sox at the time,
sacrificed Walters to second. Hooper
flied out and McNally spanked clean
single to right.
Walters essayed to score on the hit.
Pep Young took one look at the catcher
turning third and then heaved the ball
to Frank Snyder. The throw was a
bit wild, but Snyder reached out for
the ball, swung around and tagged
Walters as he came into the plate.
Close Play at Plate
1t was close decision, too close to
please the Houstonites, who had
wagered their pennies on the New York
Club. Klein called the catcher out and
the Giants came to the bat.
Douglas was touched for another pair
Of hits in the fourth, but they came
after two were out. Thereafter Eddie
Foster was the only Red Sox to reach
first base.
In his four innings Benton held the
Sox hitless. In the seventh Rube
walked Foster with one out. He fol-
lowed by striking out Scott and fore
ing Walters to hit weak grounder to
Doyle.
The only run of the game was due
to a wild throw to third base by Hoyt
in the fifth inning. 4 base on balls
paved the way for it. The Brooklyn
youngster passed Kelly, and the big
first baseman stole second. Snyder
hunted down the third base line. Some
one from the Giants bench yelled at
Hoyt to throw the ball to third.
In his hurry the former Giant
pegged high over Fosters head, Kelly
scurrying over the plate and Snyder
ambling on to second. Bowen was
sent in to run for Snyder, and Earl
Smith was called upon by Manager
McGraw to bat for Douglas. Smith
also bunted, and this time Hoyt threw
to first and got his man.
Bowen Trapped Near Home
Burns hit to McInns and Bowen
was trapped between third and home.
Before he was put out Burns reached
second. Young followed with hit to
left, but Matty hello George at third.

Five Nittany grapplers of the seven

Cornell showed unusual strength in

the 1thacan grapplers qualifying for the
semi-fnals. But the superior skill and
strength of the Center County collegians
were too much for the Cornell young

Ed Delaney the star boxman, started

Three Veterans

CHICAGO, March 26-Three veteran
members of the Chicago White Sox,
last years American League pennant
winners, may be dropped from base
ball this season if they fail to report,
according to statement issued to-day
by Charles A. Comiskey, president Of
the club. The three players named in
the statement are George (Buck) Wea-
Yer, third baseman; Charles Risberg,
shortstop, and Chick Gandil, first base
man.
Comiskey, who returned from the
Pacific Coast, declared that he had not
seen any of the trio while there and
had no reason to see them. Weaver
and Risberg are under contract to play
with his club this season. Gandil has
not signed his contract.
The players have threatened to go
into business if their demands for
higher salaries are not granted, while
President Comiskey is determined in
his stand that the players live up to
the contracts which were given them
at their own request

Del Pratt for a certainty will be back
at the midway for the early games, at
least. Nobody is going to beat Roger
Peckinpaugh out of his job. Walter
Pipp is ready to serve we'll as keeper
of the front door. Wilson Fewster,
who threatened to dispossess the vet
eran Pratt from the midway, will not
bility so early as the opening game.
Fewster's injury from being hit in
the head by jeff Pfeffer yesterday is
not SO serious as was feared for sew
eral hours last night, when he
showed symptoms OF a severe lesion.
The doctors stayed with him most of
the night, so as to be able to act
promptly in case coma developed. But
the young infielder passed favorable
night and was in such good condition
this morning that he was not removed
to the hospital, as had been planned at
first.

that, irrespective of rapid recovery,
which seems now assured, they will in

Fewster was reported tonight as

Wally Pipp was completely recovered
to-day and displayed all his accustomed
grace and agility at first in this af-
ternoon's fielding practice. But Pipp
came nearly being hit again by bali
thrown by Aaron Ward. With a dozen
balls whistling all around at once it
behooves the player to keep his head

Bill KLEIN, and there was no more
scoring during the afternoon.
In the five innings that he worked
Hoyt allowed only three singles. He
had a great change of pace and most
of the time outguessed the New York
batters. He struck out Young in the
third inning with Burns on third base.
There is no doubt that Barrow has
picked up a great pitcher in the Brook
lyn schoolboy, who obtained his big
league schooling under McGraw.
Six of the Giants recruits will leave
the team tomorrow from New Orleans
for Rocky Mount, N. G. They are
Virgil Barnes and Rem Kelly, pitchers;
Al White and AL Horie, infielders, and
Chick Bowen and Dick Kinsella, out
felders. They will practice with the
Rochester club until the Giants reach
Rocky Mount on April 7.
The Giants have asked waivers on
Bowen. All clubs have consented, but
now Barrow is anxious to buy the
Holy Cross outfelder. McGraw said
the Red Sox can have "Chick" for the
waiver price, $1,000.
Bill Brennan officiated in his last
game Of the series to-day. Bill KLEIN
and Dick Nallin, of the American
League, will work in the game at New
Orleans tomorrow. Brennan, however,
is going to be paid in full for every
