Asked if he would dress for today's
Cub-White Sox game, Dean replied:

hours of fast talk and faster denials
following a 500 fine assessed by
Hartnett Wednesday for staying out

NeorIy Lose Overtime
Struggle to Toronto
By Giving Foe Goal
BY the Associated Press.

TORONTO. April 12.-victorious
to / in a furious overtime struggle
last night, the New York Rangers
need only one more win over the
Maple Leafs to clinch the Stanley
Cup, emblematic of world hockey
supremacy.
Coming back from two straight
defeats on the local ice. the Rangers
captured the crucial fifth game OF
the National Hockey League playof
final when Murray Patrick. son of
Manager Lester Patrick, slammed
the winning goal into the net in
11:43 of the second overtime period.
The sixth and possibly the decid-
ing game, is scheduled here tomor-
row night.
The Maple Leafs took a big
gamble and lost. Manager Conny
Smythe held out four of his regu-
lars to give them a rest and the
Rangers didn't fail to grasp the op-
portunity. 1t might prove to have
been fatal blunder.
But for an accident, the Rangers
might have won in regulation time
from the weakened Leafs. Neil Col
vile scored their first goal midway
of the opening period.
In the second period, however,
Mac Colville accidentally kicked the
puck into his own nets during a
wild scramble and it nearly proved
disastrous.
Syl Apps was credited with the
score for Toronto, simply because
he was handiest.

Mats Florida Finds Face Orioles Tomorrow
Hudson to Relieve Dean; Griffith Gives President Pass

For the first time this spring
the Mats two Florida State
League sensations, Sid Hudson
and James Henry Dean, will be
paired, when the Baltimore ORR
oles move into Grifhth Stadium
tomorrow for the Griffs' final
exhibition game at home
Dean will start the game and will

lies. Al won five games and lost 16
for the hPils that year and last year,
performing for Brooklyn, he won
one decision and dropped two.
1t isn't likely that Hollingsworth
will do the Mats any good but it is
costing Griffith nothing, except AIS
salary, to look at him. And there is
always the possibility that AL. like
Leonard, might find himself and be-
come a valuable adjunct, although
Leonard, before he was fired by the
Dodgers, won IA games in one season
and this was before he began throw
ing the knuckle ball.
Van Mungo was here with Mac
Phail," said Griffith. land Mungo
said that Hollingsworth had as much
stun as any pitcher on the Brook
lyn club. He seems to think the
fellow will wake up some day and
DO some good for somebody"
MacPhail was set to send Hollings-
worth to the minors when be made
his deal with Griffith. The only
hitch in Larry's plans was that
Albert wouldn't 60 to the bushes.
Here's what he told me-" Mac
Phail said. HE said, I'm a major
league pitcher and I'm going to
stay in the big leagues or get out
OF baseball He really means it,
too."
This may be. but If Hollingsworth
can't pitch for the Dodgers. who
are counting on Wes Ferrell and
other American League castoffs, he
isn't likely to do much pitching for
the Mats. Still, as we said before,
1t isn't costing anything to look him
over.
Bloodworth's Hit Beats Bees.
Meanwhile, as all of these nego-
tiations were going on yesterday, the
Mats were winning their eighth
straight exhibition game against
the Boston Bees, whom they have
met and beaten five times this
spring.
Our side won yesterday, sd, when
Jimmy Bloodworth singled in the
seventh and scored Buddy Lewis,
who had bunted for the first time
this year, and beat it out. Buddy
had achieved second base on Gerry
Walkers inf1eld out when Blood
worth delivered.
Leonard and Bucky Jacobs worked
for the Griffs, giving up nine hits.
All came off Leonard. as Jacobs,
pitching the last two innings, dis
played his best form of the spring.
With, the lower end of the batting
order doing practically all of the
work, the Mats made II hits off
Jim Tobin, Alva Javery and Bill

Thin Edge Given
ST. Louis Club
By Writer'S
Vote Varies Greatly
On Placing Of Six
Following Leaders
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 12.-Baseball
experts" as a whole generally are
agreed that the 1910 National
League race will be a 2-team affair,
but right there the general agree
ment stops. They are split almost
$3.50 on whether the st. Louis
Cardinals or the Cincinnati Reds
will come home in front, with
slight edge going to the st. Louis
entry.
OF the rs sports writer's taking
part In the Associated Press poll
all but three named either the Cards
or Reds IN the No. / spot, the Cards
drawing 80 first-place votes to "a
Tor the defending champions. One
long-shot addict picked the Pirates,
and two strung along with the Cubs.
Second-place ballots also were
pretty we'll cornered by the 1-2
teams, although nine voters picked
the Cubs for the runnerup spot. six
named the Giants, four the Dodgers
and two the Pirates.
| There the common agreement
ceased, however, and it was every
man for himself the rest of the way
In, or at least down to the Bees and
Phillies. The Phillies escaped being
unanimous last-place choice by
three seventh-place votes, and the
Bees escaped similar seventh-place
designation by drawing / fourth,
NTH. 2 sixth and 3 eighth-place
votes.
So varied is the opinion on all
except the first two and last two
teams that two of them were
nominated for six different posi-
tions, and the Pirates were picked
for every place but eighth. In fact.
even the Cardinals we're named for
every spot down to and including
the fifth, and the Reds were dropped
back to fourth by two voters.
On a point basis-eight for first.
seven for second. etc.-the Cards
edged out the Reds by seven points
557 to $50. There is drop of 178
points between the Reds and the
third choice, the Brooklyn Dodgers.
with the third, fourth, fifth and
sixth-place selections pretty we'll
punched. Only nine points separate
the fifth-place Pirates from the
sixth-place Giants, and the Pirates
are only II points behind the fourth
place Chicago Cubs.
With the exception Of the Cards
being placed ahead of the Reds. the
only transposition in the 1889 order
of finish is that placing the Pirates
in fifth place and the Giants in
sixth. 1t was the other way around
at the close of last years campaign.

Who Failed With Dodgers

The Mats idled today as far as
formal preseason campaigning was
concerned and awaited the arrival
OF a new pitcher. whose appearance
will alter the Washington slab set

OF Brooklyn, club which yester-
day deposited $500 on Grandpappy

with Catcher Tony Giuliani.
Hollingsworth strictly was the
idea of Mr.. Leland Stanford Mac
Phail. generalissimo of the Dodgers,
who passed through the town yes
terday. Mr.. MacPhail bargained
with Griffith. Let me send you
Hollingsworth," he said, "and you
try him for 80 days. If you can't
use our Albert. send him back at no
obligation. If you can use him. send
me back the $500 potatoes I am
giving for Giuliani and We'll be
even"
Dodgers Fired Leonard Once.
1t isn't often that a pitcher who
is unwanted by eight clubs in one
major league will do team in the
other big league any good but there
have been exceptions. Lutch Leon
ard is most notable exception.
Dutch was given the old heave-no a
few years ago by the same Brook
lyns and all he is now is Washing
tons best pitcher-and probably one
of the five best in the American
League.
Hollingsworth seems to be one OF
those typical problem pitchers. He
is big fellow. 6 feet inch and
weighing 1876. He always seems to
be ready to fulfill a vast amount of
promise but up to now he hasn't
done so. He has knocked around
with a couple Of minor league teams
and with three National League
clubs. In nine years of professional
pitching he has been a winner only
twice-and both times as a minor
Lacquer.
A few years ago he showed a world
Of promise. Il thought he was go

handlers" Manager Bucky Harris
said, "when he was with Cincin-

something is, or has been, wrong"
Not Likely to Help Mats.
The dope On Hollingsworth, brief
ly, is that he started pro ball in
1882 with Rock Island, winning two
games and losing three. The next
year, with the same club, he won is
and lost 8. Promoted to Toronto
he won II and dropped six, but he
hasn't had winning year since
this campaign of 1894.
Cincinnati got AL in 1885. He won
six and lost 13. His best year in
the majors was 1896, when he won
nine and lost 10. He looked good,
however. and the Reds hung onto
him until 1898. when they traded
him during the season to the Phil
