Those of the Giants who went to Hot Springs were tickled with conditions there. Zack Wheat, star outfielder of the Brooklyn Superbas, is a holdout. There is understood to bé a differ- ence of $1,600 between Wheat and the Brooklyn club owners. Though Derrill Pratt is in camp with Miller Huggins' New York Yan- kees, he refuses to sign a contract and threatens to desert. The form- er St. Louis infielder thinks he is worth $1,000 more than the High- landers are prepared to fork over. Al Mamaux, former pitcher, released to Brooklyn last fall, has been reinstated by the Na- tional Baseball Commission. He will be with the Brooklyns for their opening game next month. Announcement concerning the new International League will likely be made this week. Six clubs will comprise the circuit for this season. Negro Athlete Army Officer. Binga Dismond, the negro short- distance runner, who several years ago represented the Loughlin Ly- ceum of Brooklyn and who recently attended the University of Chicago, is now first lieutenant in the colored Illinois infantry. : Dismond, at the 1916 conference championships, won the quarter-mile in the world's record time of 47 2-5 seconds. The race was run around one turn on a quarter-mile track. Ted Meredith, the week previous, made exactly the same time at the Eastern Intercollegiates. The mark of Dismond's made made over the 18-inch curb measurement, which, while official in the conference com- petitions, does not comply with the A.AU. and the Eastern Intercollegi- ate Association rules, therefore it was not acceptable as a standard re- cord and is not classified in the A.

Jeffrigs and won the heavyweight championship of the world at Reno, Nev. On July 4th, 1918, Jess Wiliard will defend the same title which he /won from Jack Johnson against Fred Fulton.

I Pittsburg I WILL NOT LACK BATS. Tn One Hundred and Forty-four Thou- sand, With Other Equipment. The largest shipment of baseball bats in sporting 'history has been started from Louisville, Xy., for the Lorraine sector of the western fight- ing front in Europe. There are 144, 000 bats in the lot, according to of- ticers of the Y.M.C.A., who are ar- ranging the details for transporta- tion. The bats are part of an order placed in January, when hundreds of thousands of baseballs, mitts, field- ers' gloves, chest protectors, masks, | ete., were called for by the Y.M.C.A. for use in the camps and canton- ments of the United States and in France. For week's the Y.M.C.A., has been forwarding equipment. It placed at the disposal of the Government the comprehensive gystem for the dis- tribution of things to men in ° the trenches. Since the Government made the Y.M.C.A. the official clear- ing house, the association has been gradually absorbing the activities of some of the volunteer organizations working to the same end without the knowledge of conditions op efficient organization. Every one of the 144,000 bats is stamped with the red triangle of the Y.M/.C.A. and will reach the troops through the taries overseas, whose huts are the general stores of the trenches. YACHT BUILDER DEAD. Capt. Anderson Designed and Put Together Famous Wineors. The death took place on Sunday at Oakville of Captain John Andrew, Canada's most famous builder of racing yachts. He was also a signer iof note, inal being the Aggie, which was hisocwn wreation, from the plans to the hewing of the timber, the as- sembling and completion of the boat. It was Captain Andrew who assem- bled the (Canada, that beat the Ven- cador of Chicago at Toledo in 1896. He also built many other lange rac- ing craft that contested for this cup, including Invader, that beat Cadillac of Detroit in 1901, and Beaver, that lost to (Genesee .of 'Rochester in 1899. He also built the Fisher Cup winners, Zoraya and Patricia. Captain Andrew's different crea- tions /were put together at this yards in Oakville. He was 72 years of age. SOUTHPAWS SCARCE. About Two Dozen Who Could be Called High-Class. A dearth of left-handed pitching material will prevail in the major leagues this year. In the Atherican the best southpaws are Ruth, Leon- ard, Harper, Thormahlen, Mogridge, Coumbe, Plank, Tex Russell, Claude Williams, Mitchell, Danforth «and 'Cullop. £ The National League has about the same number in Nehf, Marquard, Cchupp, Sallee, Benton, Tyler, Vaughn, Cooper, Packard, Reuther and Fittery. ' All of the big league managers are on the alért for new | left<handers, but the supply is small- er than in former years. The Giants have a big advantage in this respect, as Schupp, Sallee and Benton have few superiors. Mordecal Brown a Manager. Mordecal Brown, famous pitcher of the old Chicago Cubs, will man- age the club that Terre Haute will play in the Central Leaghe- Brown expects to obtain his release from Columbus. George Bothner, a wrestler, had his leg broken at Atlantic City in a bout with Frank Rice, of Bpston. ---- ARROW COLLAR CLULTT, PEARODY & C0. Ine. Montieal' IM SORRY - MR TEMPO.

Horses, Autos and Motor ". eycles In Handicap, John Lobert, better known as Hans, erstwhile utility infielder for the Giants, and now basebald coach at West>Points, holds the record for circling the bases--13 4-5 seconds, made in 1910. Although he is 35 years old, Hans still retains his speed, as a thrilling description of a freak race at the Oriental track, Havana, ten days ago, given by John J. McGraw, mana- ger of the Giants, testifies, It was a contest of many horse, automobile and motorcycle, and Lo- bert was the man in the case. The speedy infielder was placed on the 535-yard mark. Two thoro- breds, Little Nephew and Cuddle Up, with their jockeys and full racing outfit, started three-quarters of a mile from the tape. Behind them, seven-eighths of a mile from the fin- ish, were two automobiles. The "scratch" men were two motorey- 'clists, who were to drive one and one-sixteenth miles, with a flying start. The other contestants had a standing start. "The race was most exciting," said McGraw "Forty yards from the tape Lobert looked rather winded but the motorcyclists were away up at the head of the stretch, and he seemed safe. Fast as he came, they simply ate up the track, and he only won by making a baseball slide across the tape. The judges gave him the race by two feet. He won about $400 for his stunt." MADE MONEY FOR LEAFS, Lajoie Thinks He Should Have Un- conditional Release. Napoleon Lajoie believes that | when the International League votes ! to suspend on March 23rd, he should ; be declared a free agent by the To- i ronto club, so that he can accept the 'management of the Indianapolis team. "I went to Toronto as a free agent," edys the famous Frenchman, { "and I think I should leave under the same conditions, [It did not cost the Toronto club a gent to get me. As a drawing card T made money for Toronto, and I will not stand to 'be fold. ' I want my unconditional re- 12ase; otherwise I will quit the game forever." Minister's Golf Reply. A minister had been putting in some raking drives of the golf course which he frequently visited, and on his journey to the clubhouse met a fellow-member; with whom he had long been anxious to arrange a match. He chided him for a plea- sure long delayed, and received the unexpected reply that it seemed im- possible to arrange a meeting in this world. "Oh, very well," returned the minister, "let us make j#the very first engagement when we meet jon the plains of heaven." "I am afraid not," came the ready rejoind- |er, "You would have the advantage Ipf me from your better knowledge 'of the course." To which the mini- {ster made the reply: "In that case, {iperhaps, we could arrange home and | home matches." | | French Poor at Baseball. | Heywood Broun, "just back from | France," doesn't think the French {ever will amount to much as base- {ball players. "They don't know how Ito throw," complains Broun, "and {when it comes to catching, I saw several of them let the ball go | through their hands and hit them in { the face. They play association foot- ball much better than baseball. One of their young artillerymen almost !wrecked all the boxing 'hopes' |around the American camp, knock- Ing them out as fast as they faced vhim. It was discovered he was a professional, while General Per- shing's young men were only simon ,pures." Curling at Picton. A large number of curlers were }jutafeston spectators of the final match in a series of games for the club shield at Picton. The twelve {rinks had been divided into two groups, and the final contest came | between M. E. Knox's rink and Dr. Currie's rink. The contest was a keen one, and was closely followed by an interested cowd of curlers. Knox's rink got away to a good lead, which his opponent eould not over- boule, and won out by a score of 12 to & Christy to Pitch. Christopher Mathewson has aroused / Cincinnati fans by warming up In practice at the Red's training camp down south. Big Six says that he doesn't intend to pitch regularly this year, but that in cases fo emer- gency he wants to be in condition to enter the box.
