Bambino Goes Out for
Work : Out With New
First Baseman's Mitt

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, March a
bright, warm sun prevented a possible
settling Of all contract differences be-
tween "Babe" Ruth and the Colonels
this morning. 1t was the first day that
really allowed of anything like warm
ups, and when Colonel Huston asked
Ruth over the phone to come to the
Eastman and possibly close matters,
Ruth begged off and said that he
wanted to work out on a neighboring
field with Wallie Schang.
Ruth said that he would call on the
Colonel at o'clock tonight The Colo
mel swallowed nine or ten Adams ap-
pies and gave the ball buster the extra
time. At the same time he scratched
his head and wondered why young
man of this age could be SO totally un-
concerned about salary that would
make railroad president sit up and
wag his ears.
Nothing came Of the o'clock con-
terence, and Ruth may go South from
mere unsigned. Euth went out, logged
IN full uniform, even to a new pair of
playing low cuts. But most significant
OF all, Ruth had first basemans mitt
tucked under his arm. As he sat in the
LOBBY waiting for Schang he spat to-
bacco juice into the palm of the right
handed glove, driving hole into the
center of it with a new ball. Colonel
Huston was told of Babes" new glove
and he grinned all over.
do you know, that fellow is just
crazy to play that sack. I've come to
the conclusion that it's a pretty good
idea to give Babe try at anything
he says he can do on ball field. He
always makes good his boast. l don't
know Hugs plans, but I'd like to see
the Babe play first some time just to
see how he handles himself"
Frank Baker and Al Devormer we're
on the lot long before Ruth and Schang
declded on warmup, and knocked
fungoes for an hour.

Brooklyn Poly Matmen Retain
Metropolitan District Title
Engineers Defeated Stew
ems, Pratt, C. C. N. Y;
Ruben and Daniels Stars

Brooklyn Poly Institute retained its
title as wrestling champion of the
metropolitan district for the year,
after one of the most successful wrest-
ling seasons in the history of the
engineering school. Poly met and over
whelmed three local rivals. on the mat.
Columbia, possessing the only other
wrestling team in the city, refused to
meet the Brooklynites.
The Poly matmen routed Stevens
Institute by score of 90 to and fol-
lowed with "a to 0 victory over Pratt.
City College made the best showing OF
the locals against Poly, but finished on
the short end Of 26 to decision.
Poly also defeated NJ. I. T. by 16 to 15,
Dartmouth by 81 to and R. P. I. by
The local Champions met defeat at
the hands of the unconouerable Navy
team and also at the hands Of Prince
ton. Poly could do nothing against the
ID to IL decision over the Brooklyn
engineers The Princeton match hinged
on the result Of the bout between
Captain Ruben Of Poly, and Morrison
Of Princeton, the intercollegiate cham
pion. The bout was declared draw,
although Ruben held six-second adj
vantage. The rules, however. require
at least ten-second advantage for q
decision. Had Ruben been awarded
the bout Brooklyn would have won.
Captain Ruben was the star Of the
team, graphing in the 145-pound d.
vision, but Daniels, who represented
Poly in the 115-pound class, also
showed up we'll, Ruben only lost one
bout, in the Navy match. and also tied
with Morrison Of Princeton.
Daniels record was even better than
and lost only one bout throughout the
season and five of his victories were
won by falls. His defeat, like the cap
| tain's, was ruFered in the Navy meet.
Daniels wrestled in the 115-pound
class but rarely scaled over liz
pounds.

Wheat, Taylor, Ward and
Smith Cavort First Time
With Brooklyn Players

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Mar. 4.-Wet
grounds made it necessary for Mana
ger Robinson to call off the morning
practice session to-day, but with warm
weather prevailing in the afternoon
the rotund pilot took his big army of
Dodgers to the park in South Jackson
drilling. The field was soggy and the
players could not resume their series
of practice tilts. Most of the session
was devoted to warming-up exercises
with the pitchers doing most of the
work. Nearly every hurler in the camp
lobbed the pellets up to Hungling, De-
berry and Miller who were on the re-
ceiving end. Other players engaged in
spirited bunting games.
Four new comers to the camp took
part in the session. They were Zack
and Chuck Ward. AS it was the first
time they have been in uniform since
last season Manager Robbie did not
make them work so hard as the others.
The four late arrivals merely lobbed
the ball around in secluded spot in
the spacious park.
Next week Sherrod Smith will get
down to real work. The southpaw is
going to change his style of delivery
tnlS year. Manager Robbie believes
he will be far more effective if ne
masters the underhand motion of send
ing the pellet up to batters and Smith
is willing to convert hims self into a
left-handed Carl Mays. Last season
Smith favored his arm when he was
about to throw curve ball and op-
posing batters soon got wise to him.
The result was disastrous for Sherry
and if he masters the new motion he
will no doubt be better pitcher in
the coming campaign.
Nap Rucker, who is assisting Man
ager Robbie in the task of getting the
players in shape, had many of the
rockies playing bunting games in dry
spot outside the park while the rest of
the players were working out inside
the inclosure.
Burleigh Grimes and Jimmy Johns
ton are the only players who have not
reported to Manager Robinson. The
pitcher and infielder are holdouts and
Boss Ebbets has set next Monday eve
ming as the time limit for them. If
they are not in the camp then the
Squire of Flatbush will issue an inter
esting statement, which he is now pre-
pairing. So far Ebbets has refused to
discuss the holdout situation, He is
giving the two holdouta plenty of time
to considar tbe offers he has sent them

For First Baseball
Practice of Season
Violet Candidates Report to
Coach Mccarthy To-mor-
row; Few Veterans Left

New York Univcrsity's baseball sea-
son will get under way tomorrow
afternoon, when the candidates will re-
port to Coach Mccarthy in the Univer-
sity Heights gymnasium. The first
actual practice session will be held
Tuesday, when the squad will take to
Berkeley Oval for its initial work out.
Prospects for successful season on
the diamond at the Hall of Fame in
stitution are not considered bright.
Most of the regulars from last years
nine graduated in June. Coach Nc
Carthy will have his hands full in
building up winning combination this
spring, especially in view of the diff
cult schedule that Manager Lotano has
mapped out for his men.
The heaviest blow to the Violet team
came with the graduation Of Captain
Jack Weinheimer last month. 1t had
been expected that Weinheimer would
be available again this season.
The weakest spot in the Violet
nine's makeup appears to be in the
pitching department, where only three
men of any known ability are available.
Tim Jaffee looks the best of the lot
and has two years as substitute
twf,ieE TO his credit .vs anoths
substitute, and Demleavy, last years
lS~.,.ha.i hurler, are the ether two
twiriers.

man. will fight it out for the backstop
position. In case these men are unable
to handle the assignment Toorock, who
by trade is a shortstop, will be shifted
behind the plate.
The battle for first base between
Dorkin and Nelson will be the keenest
of all. Dorkin was the regular first
sacker at Lehigh two years age, where
he put up a clever game and batted

you have felt kindly to the men who

If you gave these men your solemn

your level best to make good your
word? l feel that you would. l

No doubt this letter sounds bitter to
you. Possibly it is, but certainly not
malicious. If Leonard is afraid to
fight Lew Tender, and think he Is,
we'll, that's Tenders loss and
the world, supposed to be the great
est that ever lived. He's not, though,
and | know that Lew Tender can
master him at the lightweight limit.
The Boast of Heraldry, the Pomp, etc
However, since watching Leonard
fight lately am more than ever con-
vinced that Lew can whip. him and
have made several propositions.
Leonard, first off, seems rather
envious that Tender should make
any money out of championship
fight. Just what business has Leon

rive Tender what | think his serv-
ices are worth
Before Tex Rickard resigned from
Madison Square Garden 1 made two
suggestions to him. One was to
fight Leonard for a certain amount
Of money; the other was to box him
absolutely for nothing, providing
Leonard, too, failed to take his purse.
/ suggested, in view Of the fact that
Leonard didn't want Tender to get
ANYTHING but beating, why not
have Benny enter the ring under the
same agreement and give every cent
shat actually belonged to the boxers
to -eroe church or charity.
% said that the moment Leon
ard attached his signature to q con-
tract calling for him to box Lew !
would have his $4,000 ready to hand
back to him. That still goes:
If Leonard doesn't fear Tender
(and am inclined to believe he does,
and so do many other Tender fol,
lowers, and you would be surprised
how many New Yorkers are. included
among them), why doesn't he accept
one Of the many offers made him and
collect just about $4,000 or $4,000
plus the $4,000 am ready to give
him, besides giving Tender that aw-
full beating he claims he can admin
lister any time he wants to agree TO
the fight.
Mr.. Leonard is slipping. He
showed it plainly when he fought
Rocky Kansas recently, and no one
knows that better than Mr.. Leonard
himself. Tender is the one light

T IL he DARES agree to fight. With

TO Throw disputed Claim II,
Balance Provided Qua
Ker Dattier Gels Action

Benny Leonard, lightweight champion
OF the world. is the most talked-of ano
popular champion Of the division since
the days of the inimitable and dusky
Joe Cans.
Benny was supposed to have fought
Charlie White, Of Chicago, at Madison
Square Garden on the night of March
II. According to him and his manager,
Billy Gibson, the lightweight king in
jured his right hand in a bout with
Pal Moran at New Orleans recently,
Apropos of which the following letter
from Phil Glassman, manager of Lew
Tender, of Philadelphia, the most
highly regarded challenger for light
weight honors, is submitted:
PHILADELPHIA, March 2, 1922.
Mr., Jack Lawrence, New York Trib-
une, New York City.
My Dear Sir: On Monday, Febru-
ary 27, you printed an article in
your paper about forfeit grabbing,
having as the main subject my TAX
ing Benny Leonard's SIS 900 in this
city last August, when Leonard
called off his fight with Tender on
account Of broken nand.
This letter is not sent you as an
alibi. | don't think you are entirely
familiar with the facts, and if you
will tarry moment l will try and
make clear my end Of the argument.
You undoubtedly have had Leonard's
and Gibson's long ago.
Underlying Idea of Forfeit
What is forfeit and why is it
possible? If a fellow agrees to
make a certain weight9or appear at
a certain time and he doesn't, why
isn't that money forfeited, and
what's the use of going to all the
hullabaloo of putting it up if not!
That, however, was not the domi-
mating reason in the Tendler-Leon-
ard controversy. Early last summer
two Philadelphia promoters, Bobby
Gunnis and Herman Taylor; con-
tracted with Billy Gibson and myself
relative to an eight-round bout in
Philadelphia between Leonard and
Tender, at 1876 pounds, on the after
noon Of the fight for the lightweight
championship of the world. Every
thing was arranged for the fight to
take place on August 12. / sent
Tender away into the country for
more tuaH d uiVutil, ANU III oS oii' ~
took considerable money to main
tain training quarters and keep. a
retinue of spar1ing partners, train
ers, etc, for Tender. This, how
ever / was perfectly willing to. stand
because it was business, and Lew
would more than have gotten it back
when the fight took place.
Everything went along fine until
the afternoon of August 9, when
Leonard, after saying he injured his
thumb boxing Young Jack Toland,
called up the prom oters. Taylor and
Gunnis, and told them he was hurt
and the fight was off.
Leonard, however, told the pro-
moters that, he would come over to
Philadelphia and. see them just as
soon as physicians fixed his thumb,
and promised faithfully over the
phone to the promoters and to local
| newspaper representatives that his
first fight after his hand recovered
would be in Philadelphia for them,
and that he positively would not box
for any other promoter before full
filling his contract with the Phila-
delphians, Taylor and Gunnis.
Leonard said he feared his hand
New-York tribune., 1922-03-05

wouldn't recover in time to box Ten
dler outdoors (there isn't a club big
enough in Philadelphia to handle
this fight indoors), so Leonard said
he would fight some one for Taylor
and Gunnis. ..--.
Then the champion broke his
word. He never showed up in Phila-
delphi@ to see the men who went to
$4,000 preliminary expense, renting
the National Ball Park, spending
thousands in advertising, having
tickets printed and maintaining
force of clerks, first to distribute
the publicity and tickets, and then
to redeem more than 100000 worth
of tickets that had been sold I'M to
August g..
The champion tailed to come to
Phlladelphia and show the loyal fans
here that he had an injured hand
(the one logical thing to do and
keep his prestige) neither did he ever
have to my knowledge an X-ray taken
to show the hand was hurt. Wouldn't
there have been fine howl and loud
outlaws from Leonard's followers if
Tender had received the same injury
and then failed TO show it to the men
most interested?
Leonard Forgets Few Obligations
But that wasn't all Leonard failed
to do. He didn't come to Philadel-
phia, send a representative or get
in touch with those concerned up to
2 o'clock on the afternoon of August
~, the time set for appearance and
weighing in. |, on behalf of Tender,
collected Leonard's forfeit from
stakeholder, Robert w. Maxwell,
Sports Editor of "The Evening Public
Ledger" and issued a statement that
ii. before October IL, 1921, Leonard
signed new contract to fight Tend
Ter anywhere, anytime thereafter,
would return him his $4,000 forfeit.
Since then Leonard has totally
ignored Lew.
Furthermore, Leonard broke faith
with the, promoters, both of whom
had just about invested all they had
to arrange the fight. He didn't box
for them when his hand recovered.
He never gave Promoters Gunnis and
Taylor tumble. Last fall when the
rebuilt Olympia Athletic Association
gave a pre-opening night dinner to
newspaper men and other notable
sportsmen, Leonard was In attend
ance, and / know from official sources
Leonard remained on one side of the
ring, while Promoters Taylor and
Gunnis were on the other, and Benny
hardly noticed the men who had
staked all on the fight which fell
through.
You can verify all this should you
care to investigate. OF course, Leon
ard and Gibson would hardly COR
roborate it, but bit pf scooping
would bring it all out. eNow. / ask

Princeton and Yale tied for honors in
aquatic sports at Princeton University
to-day, when the Eli swimming team

water polo by the tally of 60 to IL.
Yale won all first honors but one in

Much excitement was caused over the
phenomenal plunging of Wood and
Guernsey, of Yale, Wood breaking the
intercollegiate record for the 75foot
