HARRIS PROVED FIZZLE
 IN THE BUSH LEAGUES
All Of Which Shows That You Can't Always Sometimes Tell
 In Baseball.

Detroit. Mar. 1.-The selection Of Stanley Harris. as manager Of the Washington ball club recalls to minds of western Michigan fans his debut in the Central League in 1916. That year Harris was a member sf the Mus kegon (Mich.) team. He played at third base.
 Harris was a fiz2lo, He was an out and-out frost. He appeared in 55 games, aecruing n batting average of .i66. He got eS hits in l69 trips to the plate. He scored five runs and stole two bases. His fielding per- centage was .Ss2. "Bucky," as he was known. was one Of the worst players in the league.
 Within nine years, Harris was dis carded by Buffalo, Detroit. Scranton, Heading, Norfolk, Na.. and Muskegon. In 1917 hc played with Reading of the New York State League. He had been switched 10 second base and his clouting had improved so that it reached the .s50 mark. The following two years found him with the Buffalo club Of the International League whence he finally landed with Wash ington.

 ATTACK OF INFLUENZA
Although Very Sick Man. King of Swats Will Be Around in Few Days

Hot Springs, Ark, March l.-Babe Ruth, king of baseball. settled down today to fight off his "jinx"---an at tack of infucnza.
 Although described as "a very sick man" Ruth's condition was not regarded as dangerous. His physcian. Dr. w, T. Wooten, said there had been no complications. and. barring unforeseen developments the patient should recover in a few days
 Ruth's temperature showed a slight recession during the night. At 6 o'clock yesterday evening the reading was 10i.2, but the final temperature noted last night, the doctor said, was lo5.2. The high temperature was not alarming. Dr. Wooten stated, adding that the condition Of the patient was "very satisfactory. the lungs were clear and respiration and pulse were normal" he said.
 Ruth was stricken yesterday morn- ing as he started on his hike over tho trails. He said he had slight chill Thursday night, but felt all right yesterday morning. He donned a uniform and sweater and started walking, but became weak and was forced 10 return 10 the hotel. Dr. woot 1n was summoned and ordered him to bed.
 Ruth is suffering from his fourth attack of tlG malady. He was lill here for several weeks last spring, and was delayed in joining his team on the southern training trip.

THIRD BASE WEAKNESS
At Least sir Big League Clubs Taoc Problem of Caring Tor the Dizzy Corner

New York, Mar. With the van guard of the major league players al. ready in the south for spring train ing. three American league and as uany National league clubs appear weak at that very difficult position, third base.
 The s. Louis Browns must develop a player from the recruits for that position. None of the players who held down third last season quite came up 10 the major league stand ard.
 Unless Blucge. who started go well last year and then faltercd, comes through Washington will be seriously handicapped.
 At Boston. Manager Lee Fohl must do some experimenting. He will start with McMillan. who, if he hits con sistcntiy. should do.
 \ number of National league clubs are in a similar position. The death Of Tony Boeckel leaves the Boston Braves as the hardest hit. Any club in the older league could have wealth. cred the loss Of star player better.

MANOLEUM YS. FERGUSON
Famous "Wop" To Meet Fighting Farmer Sheriff in Ten Round Bout At PittsdeId.

Tracey Ferguson, fighter -heriff- Egriculturist of Northford. has been signed by the Pittsfeld A. C. of Pittsfield. Mass, for a ten-round bout with Wop Manoleum of Boston at l52 pounds, so declared Manager Dennis McMahon to the fight public last night.
 Ferguson appeared on the card of the Berkshire city fight club last Monday night and hammered the day lights out of Vince Coffey, part-time citizen Of Kingston, N. Y. His work made such an impression on the fans in western Massachusetts who saw him that he was sought immediately after the battle to meet Manoleum. who knocked out Tommy Murphy, of Worcester, promptly and without much ado in the opening round The Pittstield matchmakers stated that they had just witnessed the best show on record after the Ferguson Coffey bout and with Manoleum as an op- ponent for the tiller of the soil live ly racket is the least they predict.

THE HOLDOU7 QUESTION
Various Big League Clubs Have Dif- fercnt Methods of Handling Players Who Do Not Sign.

New York, Mar. l.--These arc the days of the holdouts in baseball. With most Of the squads all set for the southern getayay the list Of the play CTS who hsve not as yet signed for the season are being made known.
 Tn a great many cases the salary difference is small and will be easily adjusted. Some Of the star minor leaguers who weye purchased at a fancy price arc demanding part of the sale money. These disputes may be harder to iron out.
 It Is a rather interesting fact that the two big leagues are handling the holdout situation in an entirely diff fcrcnt manner.
 The American league does not lei a player report to the training camp and start work until he has signed a contract.
 In the National league. if the play CT is a valuable man, he is asked to report 10 talk matters over.
 The New York Nationals have more moro holdouts than any club in ths National league, while the New York Yankees lead in that respect in tho American.

WESLEYAN Ns. TUFTS.

Middletown, March l.-Tonight on the home floor, Wesleyan university's quintet will meet Tufts in the last game of the season, and one which promises to be the hardest battle in Fayorweatner gymnasium this winter.
 The record of contests thus far shows q balance in favor Of the Red and Black; all Of the seven home games have gone to Wesleyan, and six Of the seven out-of-town meets have meant reverses for the quintet which Coach Lash has developed from entirely green material,
 At present the sick list claim three Of the local regulars, Cantwell, center, is still in the iniirmary with cold. and umpleby forward, is suffering from injuries received in the tilt with Yale Tuesday. Captain McLane's an- kle. turned in practice Wednesday. will probably not prevent him from starting the game; Francis and Car pentcr, guards, however, are the only men sure of lining up at the first whistle, Jacobson and Byrnc will be used in tomorrow's game.a

Newspapermen have not been admitted 10 his sick room and Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager, has remained silent and et. forts to communicate with him have been fruitless.

STEPHENSON ID BE
 REGULAR AT SECOND
fContinucd from Preceding Page)

Is pretty confident the big Alabama boy will make good with vengeance. So arc other competent judges of young baseball flesh. But you can never tell.
 Stephenson has stiff right arm, injured in football, and this seems to hamper his throwing a bit, especially In making double plays, although noticed last year hc managed to get tho ball to first base ahead of n lot of fast mon,
 Stephenson is a big man with the expansive build Of wrestler, but he moves with great speed and covers as much ground as the next one.
 This will be his first real season as a regular, and therefore, his first real test as a big leagucr. Heretofore he has been used as understudy and re- lief man. But this spring he starts with the knowledge that the job Is his, and that he has nobody to com pete with.
 Working regularly Stephenson may develop smoothness in defensive play that he seemed to lack in days gone by Certainly he will gain OK. perience and there is plenty 10 be learned around the all-important key stone station.
 Stephcnson's batting ability is un- questioned. He is one of the hardest right-handed hittcrs in baseball, if not the hardest. He takes terrific cut at the ball. with the result that he frequently gets base hits on balls driven directly at inieldcrs. tho said drives being much too hot to handle.
 
 II will be interesting to watch Ste phenson's career this year, and among those who will eatch it intcntly. ina zinc, is Bill Wamby Of the Red | Sox.

 While Detroit expects big things from Outfielder Manusch this year, American league pitchers seem to think his batting can be slowed down considerably if he is properly pitched to. The consensus of the pitchers is that he doesn't like a fast ball on the inside, letter high.
 Jack Wolfe, the bespectacled ban tamweight of Cleveland, has decided to give the boxing game the festive go-by and will devote his future waking hours to the honorable and less bruising task of selling life in- surance. ''I only got $500 for beat ing Young Montreal the other night Is that a business for a Hebrew boy?" Wolfe demands to know.
