FRENCHMAN DISAPPOINTS

The Guaranty Club, composed OF the
employees of the Guaranty Trust
Company of New York, held its an
nual athletic carnival at Madison
Square Garden last night, and in the
way of a bumper crowd, highly at
tractive features and snappy all-round
competitions the affair excelled any
thing seen in the East this winter.
There was the special 5000 meters in
which Josef Guillemot, Olympic cham
pion, elected to outrun the best men
IN America These included Joie Ray
of Chicago, the national mile cham
pion and holder of several records;
John j. Romig of Penn State College,
the intercollegiate cross-country cham
Zion. and Walter Higgins, the young
Aspirant from Columbia University.
There was plenty of excitement when
Guillemot, Ray, Romig and Higgins
came out on the floor. In honor of the
Frenchman the band played the Mar
seillaise," to which everybody stood to
attention and uncovered. Then the
runners were introduced separately and
each got a splendid ovation. AS far as
the actual competition went the race is
easily described, as Ray led from start
to finish and beat Higgins by fifty
yards. About the same distance, in
third place, came Romig. while Guile
mot finished last. When the Frenchman
hit the worsted he was more than 100
yards behind the third man, and he was
beaten nearly Tapped by Ray.

Five of These We're in the
American League Last
Season.
THIRTEEN ARE PITCHERS
Hoyt and Harper Head That
List-Many Hail From
the Bushes
By DANIEL.

Who are the new Yankees of 1921?
What are their claims to recognition
and their chances Of helping the club
in its fight for it's first pennant? AS
the players prepare to entrain for the
training camp at Shreveport, La, these
questions are salient in the discussions
among followers of New Yorks repre-
sentatives in the American League.
Just what the newcomers are capa-
Bile of doing no doubt will be demon
strated soon, for the main squad will
leave New York for Shreveport next
Friday afternoon. But in the mean
time it may be interesting to name
names and to speculate.
First, let us remember that this
winter the Yankees made three deals
two for men in their own league
and another for minor league star.
The first transaction was by far the
most important. The New Yorks gave
to the Red Sox Herb Thormahlen, left
handed pitcher Muddy Ruel, catcher;
Sam Wick, outfielder, and Del Pratt,
second baseman, in exchange for wal
lie Schang, catcher Harry Harper,
| southpaw; Waite Hoyt, right handler
and Mike McNally. second baseman.
The second deal sent George Mo-
gridge, left handed pitcher, and Duify
Lewis, veteran outflelder. to the WASH
lrgton club. in return for Bobby Roth.
| the right fielder. Soon afterward the
Yankees completed their deal for Johnny
Mitchell, the infieder who made great
| record with Vernon of the Pacific Coast
| League last season. Ernie Shore. BOD
NcGraw, Truck Hannah. Ham Hyatt
and Lefty O'Doul all were sent to the
| Coast for the recruit. Another player
will be sent when Miller Higgins begins
releasing his surplus material
| Thirteen New Pitchers.
| In all, Higgins will have at Shreve-
| port twenty-nine players who were not
| with the Yankees last season. This
number includes thirteen pitchers. two
| catchers, six infelders and eight out
felders. OF the twenty-nine five were
in the American League last year and
only three were in Glass AA company
The rest are "bushers" or semi-profes
| sionals-two classes which are not e
be despsed for they have sent right into
the majors some of the greatest players
IN the history Of the game.
That the deals consummatcd by the
Yankees have increased the chances o.
the club Is the general opinion among
baseball critics. The pitching staff has
been improved by the addition OF Hoyt
who once was n Giant, and Harper. As
! Hoyt lives in Brooklyn and Harper halls
| from Hackensack--near enough to h'
city 10 eb included in the metropolitan
area-interest in their work will be un'
usually keen.
In making his three deals Huggin'
sent away only one pitcher who really
counted-Thormahle Mogridge once
was a useful citizen for the club bu
last year showed that his days as {
Yankee effective were over. The left
handler may do better with a change o
scene. but the sharps haze their doots
Shore was through as a major Lacquer

Higgins quite a while to learn that fact
He wasted too many chances on the for
