SPORTING NOTES.

Babe" Ruth was numbered among the Yankees that set trail for the southern training camp Saturday night. Quite a crowd turned out to the station to get a glimpse of the fence demolisher.
 According to the preseason dope, Connie Mack will lay out his infield with Griffin, the Atlanta first sacker, at first; Joe Dugan at second; Gallo way, also from Atlanta, at short and Frank Brazill, last season with Hart ford at third. This is on the expecta- tion that these players live up to the required standard.
 Burfeind, the pitcher the Giants are taking south for a trial, got chance with Hartford four years ago when Heinie Wagner managed the club. La ter Burfeind was with Worcester He is considered a promising prospect and if he fails to stick with the Giants which seems probable, he should make good with a minor league club.

New York, March 1.-The opening contest in the annual ante season in terleague games between the baseball teams Of the major circuits will be played in Jacksonville, Fla, today, weather permitting, when the New York Americans and the Brooklyn Ma tlonals meet in the first match of a long series. Other combinations will quickly follow suite and by the middle of the month more than half of the teams composing the National and American leagues will be engaged in these pre- season games.
 Fully twice as many contests of this type have been scheduled than was the case year ago and it is probable that close to a hundred such exhibition games will be played before the clubs line up for their initial pennant bat ties on April 14 The site of conflict stretches throughout the south and southwest while the homeward trip al the close of southern training, will be sprinkled with similar games.
 In these games the modern baseball manager and club secretary have found way in which to partially cut down the heavy cost incidental te training trips in which parties of more ! than forty husky athletes have to bt transported and quartered at the ex. pense of the club.

RUTHERFORD REPORTS RACE
 TRACKS NOT RUN RIGHT

Ottawa, Ont, March 11-Some Can- adian race tracks in which American capital is heavily invested ''are not being operated to the best interests of the public" according to an exhaustive report on Dominion racing conditions submitted today to parliament by Dr.. J. c. Rutherford, special commits sioner for the government.
 This report, which a expected to serve as basis for legislation govern ing racing, makes no definite recom- mendations,, but devotes much space to the question of eliminating certain tracks, further curtailing the length of racing seasons and banning "touts, railbirds and purveyors of supposedly secret or stolen information" Illegal betting also is scored
 Bad effects are seldom noticeable from race meetings of reasonable length, when they are conducted "by genuine Sportsmen and honest men, states the report which adds that ad- ditional race tracks have been opened in certain sections to circumyent the law limiting the length of racing sea- sons.

 That Chick" Gandil, hard hitting first sacker of the Chicago White Sox. is sincere in his declaration that he is through with major league ball is indicated in a dispatch from Salt Lake City that he has signed to manage the St. Anthony, Idaho, club of the Snake River ' Yellowstone league, an outlaw organization. This announcement has been made by I. ". Shoot, president of the league. Immediately after tho worlds series. Gandil set forth the an i nouncement that he would not be back with the Sox the following season. Few placed much faith in his state ment, however, but now that he has been signed to act as manager in the outlaw league, there is every reason 1 to believe that he will carry out his threat. Ted Jourdan, who covered first base for Minneapolis in the Am. erican association last season, will be groomed for Gandil's place by Man ager Kid" Gleason. .-

good idea who four of the represen- tatives of Uncle Sam will be in the trapshooting competition. These four are: Mark Arie of Champaigne, H.; Woolfolk Henderson, of Lexington, Ky; Frank M. Troeh, of Vancouver, Wash, and Frank s. Wright, of Buff falo, N. '.
 A number of plans have been ad- vanced for the selection of the vari- ous shooting teams, but none have proven satisfactory.
 The original idea on. trapshooting was to have each contestant in the registered trapshooting tournaments of 1919 pay one-quarter cent a target but this plan was not pushed and only $346 was turned over to the American Trapshooting association.
 As the trapshooting body had in formed the American Olympic com mittee that it would take care of the expenses of the trapshooters the only thing for them to do was to go through with the plan. That the mat ter might be adjusted satisfactorily to the amateur trapshooters, com mittee of amateurs was named to se- i lect the team and devise ways and means of seeing that the team got to Belgium This committee is made up of Jay Clark, Jr., of Worcester, Mass; | E. P. Mathewson, of Anaconda, Mont, and Ralph H. Spotts, of New York, ] with Mir Clark as the representative 1 to the American Olympic committee. The original idea for the sending a team of trapshooters to Belgium was the selection of the ten highest men in the 1919 averages on 1000 or more targets, but with the failure of | the voluntary contribution plan, this scheme died too, and the present idea | of the committee as we understand it. is to send not more than ten men who will pay their own expenses and who will agree to practice the Continental style of shooting for some time prev ious to the Olympic matches.
 No team of trapshooters from the United States would be complete with out the four shooters we have already mentioned. They are the four best amateur trappshots in the United States Wright IS the present amateur champion of the United States and Canada, and also international cham pion, and the other three are former amateur champions of the United
 States. Each of the four shooters i:
 the champion of his state. In the 191!
 averages Arie led with the remarkable
 average of .97S0 on about 2,500 targets
 His average was but one-one hun
 dredths better than Henderson.
 Troeh shot nearly three times al
 many targets as either Arie or Hen
 derson and averaged .9762. Wrigh
 was fifth in the averages with .9725 There is no getting away from it bu that this quartet of shooters can de
 feat any other four men in the world In the Olympic games it is nor
 than likely that five men will compris'
 the team. Now, all that IS wanted i
 another high class shooter to fit il with this combination. It is our hum , ble opinion that no better selection fo the fifth. man would be than the maj , who is representing the amateu
 shooters on the Olympic committed

MARKET WAS STRONG

New York, March 11.-Influenced mainly by the further rise of British exchange, which proved only temp orary. the stock market today made many noteworthy accessions to it's recent general and expensive recov- cry.
 Early strength of exchange was supplemented by London cables stat ing that another drop in the gold premium had diverted mire of the metal from that market to this cen ter. There were no developments, however, to substantiate reports that extensive gold exports to this country are in immediate prospect.
 The weekly statement of the Bank Of England was interesting for its further substantial gain of bullion, an enormous reduction of holdings of government securities and the mark cd strengthening of liability reserves.
 The high rate for demand bills on London today was $3.S2 1-2, reacting 10 S3.Ij at the close of the stock market. At the new maximum a further gain of 6 1-4 cents over yes terday was shown. A lied ex- changes were higher at the outset, but fell back with sterling, while Scandinavian remittances were con- spicuousiy strong.
 Domestic monetary conditions were unchanged. call money being freely offered at per cent, with very few offerings of tme funds. Bankers seem hopeful that no appreciable tightening of rates would attend inn pending heavy income tax payments, but advised against extravagant stock market operations.
 Except for a perceptible diminui- ton of business in the later dealings, The break ir exchange exerted no very pronounced effect on quoted values. Reactions of two to six points were largely regained at the finish. although profit taking was evident. Sales amounted to 1,435, ,00O Shares.

FOOTBALL RULES COMMITTEE WILL MEET IN N, Y, TONIGHT

WGE MEGt IN Ns T. tOiNI6Flt
 New York, March 1.-The first formal meeting of the football rules committee in several years will be held here tonight. It is generally expected the conference will be attended by the entire fourteen members, representing colleges and universities from all sec tions of the country. While a number of radical changes in the playing rules probably will be suggested, it is be- lieved that but few of these will re- ceive more than perfunctory consid- eration. Judging from unofficial eX- presSions of opinicn among the mem bers of the committee, the present rules have been found to be satisfac- tory.
 Among the suggestions advanced by various coaches and authorities, which may be offered for the consideration of the committee, are the following: attempted goal kick following touch down to be made from regular scrim- mage formation in the manner of a field goal; reduction of four and a half feet in the space between goal posts which at present are placed IS feet, six inches apart; that peri l ods of the game be measured by a certain number of plays instead of the regular fifteen minute quarters; that a punted ball which strikes on the field of play and then rolls across the goal line shall be put in play where il first struck instead of on the twenty yard line.
 l Other more radical rule changes, ad- vanced unofficially, include a proposa
 to credit the team with certain mum.

The United States will be repre- sented in the 1920 Olympic games by the greatest opponents of shooting in all the world.
 The Olympic games will be held in Belgium. the majority of the events taking place in the Antwerp stadium, now nearing completion. The shoot ing events will take place on grounds especially laid out for this form of en- tertainment at Beverloo, 30 miles east of Antwerp.
 This is getting the shooting events quite distance away from ''the big show" but the marksmen who will represent the United States are con- fident that the news of their victory will travel the 30 miles in very fast time.
 Just who will represent the United States on the trapshooting, rifle ant pistol teams during the period of July 22 to July 31, is something that is ye to be decided; but we have fairly
