BIG THREE ATTEMPTS
SHAKE-DOWN ACT ON
FRAZEEPOCKETBOOK
Babe Ruth, Harry Hooper and Stuffy Mchmis Refuse to
Struggle Along on $1000 a jMonth and Unsigned
Contracts Are Returned to Red Sox
lly K01IKHT W. MAMVIXI,
Nnrt Killtor Kimlnir 1'nlillr I nlcrr
TOX'T even whisper n word nbout tills, but tliere Is some skulduggery
-' coins on up In Ilnwuton. It's a fact. A new combination liai been
formed, an exclusive organization known ns the "Ills Three." No, It Nn't
Tale, Harvard, Princeton or any other lilghbrow things like that, but nn
out-and-out professional move to shako many shekels out if the Jeans of
a guy nho will not allow himself to bo shaken. In other words. It li a
hold-up by three hold-outs, and tho plot thicken", as they say at the
National.
Bather closely and grab nn eycfull. Three high-class gents who are
known from coast to coast and from bolder to border hao combined to
mako things nioro pleasant while spending a vacation on a big league ball
club. Instead of struggling nlong on a measly $1000 a month or some
thing like that, they are heartily In favor of Increasing the stipend so
they can laugh at tho high cost of refreshments. They refuse ARPO
LUTEL.Y refuse to do a lick of work until their demands or whatever
they are have been accepted.
Tho heroes In the cast are lJabe Iluth, n well-known ball plajer: Stuffy
Mclnnls, another well-known ball player, and Harry Hooper, who Is said
to have tho Mimo social standing as Mr. Ruth and Mr. Mclnnls. They aio
welded together In one Biff Three, and If jou don't believe It, Just ask
Harry Krazee.
According to the dope gathered by jour coricspondcnt at an enor
mous expense, Ruth Is the headllner in tho ait. One day he received a
contract calling for the modest sum of $5000 for less than six months' work.
"Ha, ha!" he laughed. "See the funny paper. There are funny figures
on tho paper and It's a bum Joke. I'll send It back."
HA.UKY riiAZVV, scaled in his palatial offices, scowled tchen ha
opened a bulky envelope, Tlie SS00O contract dropped out.
Also a card from Mr, Ruth tchlch read: "near Harry Forgive me.
I opened this by mistake."
Babe Willing to Consider $15,000 Contract
TIME passed, as only time can pass, nnO there was no friendly exchange
of letters between Mr. Frazce and Mr. Iluth. Finally the owner of tho
fled Sox asked his star player what ho wanted.
"Oh, I will consider a contract calling for $15,000," said Mr. Huth with
becoming modesty.
"Shades of Davo Belasco and Connie Mack!" shouted Frazce. "I
wouldn't pay that much money If you went on three times a day! You
might get one-half as much, but that's the limit. Arc you going- to bo a
hold-up?"
"No, just a holdout," replied the temperamental Babe ns ho departed
to read another chapter of Frenzied Finance.
Then appeared our own Stuffy Mclnnls, who, It Is said, suffered an
amputation In his 1919 salary. Now Stuffy is a swell ball player, but a.
sweller financier. He has a pretty collection of bonds with gilt edges
arid everything and wants more of the tame. Therefore, he shouted de
fiance In the car of frazzled and flustered Frazce and cast his lot with
Babe Ruth.
Harry Hooper came next, according to dopo gathered by your cor
respondent at an enormous expense. (Sec expense account.) Harry looked
over the vast acreage on his farm or ranch or whatever it Is out on the
coast and decided to pass the rest of his dajs among tho alfalfa. How
ever, he would consider an offer to play ball, provided the offer was worth
considering. While Frazce was in strict training to send a reply, Hooper
joined Ruth and Mclnnls, and thus tho Big Threo camo into existence.
Perhaps there are more members in the hold-out lodge and. perhaps
there aren't. Anyway, the boys haven't signed as 'yet and will be firm In
their demands until March 22, when the spring training trip begins. Then
they wilt sign, tell each other funny stories and figuro on what will happen
to this country after July 1.

HV Red Sox Pulled Bone by Letting Wagner Out
THE Red Sox cannot afford to let Iluth go this season and probably will
meet the big slugger part way in tho salary question. A terrible boner
was pulled when Heinle Wagner, the veteran coach, was handed the blue
ticket, and that's enough for one season.
Heinle was one of the brainiest men in the American League, had the
confidence and respect of the players, and It's hard to figure how Burrow
happened to turn him loose. Ring I.ardner says "Wagner is an asset to
any club, and it won't be lonfr before some smart manager grabi him. It
is said that Cleveland will sign him up this year, and if such is the case
it will be a very wise move. -
"Way back in 1907 the Red Sox perpetrated another boner, when Owen
Bush, the gTeat little shortstop, was given the cold shoulder. 13ush then
was a kid and worked on the South Bend club In the Central League. His
work was so good that George Huff, of the University of Illinois, who did
some scouting for the Boston Americans, mado a trip to see the youthful
phenom In action.
, tj Huff sat in the crandstand the day Bush made three hits hnttlnir toft.
kef' handed, three batting rlsht-handed nnd did some sensational fieldlnc in nn
,. . extra-Inning game. Ownie showed real big league form and Huff wired to
John I. Taylor, who then owned the club, that he had discovered the
greatest shortstop of the age,
"Forget about that shortstop," wired Taylor, "because we have Henlne
Wasner. Get a couple of pitchers and an outfielder."
Comlskey then was tipped off, but nobody took the trouble to follow
It up and Bush went to Detroit In the draft. Xow comes one of the funny
.angles to the story. Detroit did not give Bush a trial, but turned him over
to the Indianapolis club In 1908. Nobody seemed to want the kid and In
mldseason he could have been purchased for $900. Xear the end of the
season Jennings had some hard luck and Bush was recalled.
HE PLAYVD such a marvelous game that he became a fixture In
the Tiger infield and never has been removed. Jennings had a
lucky break and the lied Sox passed up one of the best little short
stops in the game. To carry it further, Bush still holds his job and
lteinie Wagner has been fired.
Phils Ask Waivers on Bender, Tincup and Burns
, "DIGHT on the heels of Eddlo Burns's announcement that he had given
1 v up the game of baseball to sell shirts, collars, etc., in Monterey, Cal.,
comes the news that tho rhlllles liavo asked waivers on Edward. The
robust catcher left the club last July to go to his home on the coast, and
left Moran and Baker flat. Burns, however, had a good excuse, but got In
bad Just the same.
Waivers also have been asked on the only remaining Indians In the
league, Chief Bender and Ben Tincup. Bender was a hold-out last year
and afterward was sold to the New York Yankees. The Chief failed to
report and reverted to the Phils. Ho has been working In the Merchants
Shipyard all winter, Is In wonderful physical condition and believes he can
pitch good ball this year. ' ,
TIXCUP has been in the army since last year, lie did not do so
very xcell xcilh. the Phils and Coombs says he needs more ex
perience. , Penn Closes Successful Season Too Early
PENN closed Its 1919 home basketball season by beating Columbia, and the
books were totaled on one of the best court years the Quakers have had
In some time, Not only was every home game won, but big crowds turned
out to each encounter, so that the season was a success both athletically
"-vhI financially. Usually the basketball season runs on to the latter part
March. With basketball In such high favor among local fans, It Is not
pjijj' wise move to close Welghtman Hall so early.

.eellere teams both In and out of the league circuit. There Is no game
scheduled until. March 7, when the team travels to Ithaca for a battle with
Qarnell. The next same slated Is with Princeton at IVInceton on March 14.
Jt would bo well for the Penn basketball management to add a couple of
ijrday. or midweek games to the post-season schedule.
tV3K' .
' .'' :BK'A certainly can use any extra funds that are turned Into the
coffer of the athletic association. Uasketball is one of the new
makers, and there is no reason xchy the Quakers shouldn't

Pi;.N'."S swimming team sets Its first
test of the season In the Welghtman
Hall tank tomorrow night when the lied
and Ulue mermen oppose Columbia In
a dual meet, with a water polo match ns
an added attraction.
Coach George Klstler Is anxious to
see what his relay team Is capable of
doing In competition. The quartet has
been going along fairly well In practice,
but the Quaker Instructor believes that
his boys will bo ablo to beat their prac
tice times when they get Into real com
petition. Two of the members cf the relay team
arc veterans from last year, but the
other two are newcomers In larslty
sports. The veterans are Bill Bring
hurst and Don Leopold, both of whom
are good sprint men. George Allen and
Charles Marrls make up tho rest of the
team.
Leopold Anchor
Leopold probably will bo the anchor
man, as he is counted upon as the fastest
man of the quartet for the 200 feet
The former Central High boy was the
last 'man In 1918 nnd did well. He
should be able to beat last season's
time.
Coach Klstler believes that the relay
team will beat the Columbia four and
a victory In tho relay goes a long
way toward winning a meet. A relay
triumph counts eight points. The Quaker
four also should trim C. C. N. Y. in New
York next Friday, tut victory over
Princeton In Tlgertown on March 15 is
very doubtful.
Brlnghurst and Marrls will race In
the fifty-yard event and Leopold will
be tho main entry In the hundred,
Brlnghurst also will have to carry the
brunt of the Bed and Blue work In the
furlong swim. Elderkln and Ilyan will
take care of the plunging and Marrls
and Small will be tho fancy divers.
Weak in Die
The Quakers are not strong In the
dive and plunge. Blfierkln, who Is tho
captain of the team, Is the best plunger
and he Bliouia De aDie to win tne
Columbia and C. C. N. Y. events. Kin-
nard, of Princeton, ?s favored over him
defeated Billy Hurley. One of the best
bouts of the eetilng was that between
Mike Murphy and Young Ketchel. Tho
ludgefci gae the bout to Murphy.
Uracs Cable Money to Gouily
llonlnn, Feb. 2S. The lioiton National
1.1'amii' Club cabled $J."iO to Hank Unuily
csti'rdaj' In answer ti a request from tho
catcher, (lowtly Is with the American army
of occupation and his cable encouraged of
ficials of the Uo'tnn Club to believe that he
mlirht lc released from sen ice at an early
date,
If Penn could use freshmen this season
the dive and plunge entries would be
strengthened considerably. Mifflin Arm
strong, one of the first-year men, was
one of the bent fancy divers In scholas
tic ranks while at Central High, and
Kohler and Burske are showing great
form In plunging.
The meet tomorrow will be the first
and last of the swimming season at

The place and date of the Inter
collegiate outdoor track nnd field
championships for 1919 will be se
lected at a meeting to be held In
New York tomorrow night, and it Is
very likely that the classic will be
awarded to Harvard on May 30 nnd
31. Penn nnd Harvard have bids In
for the annual games, but It is said
that Penn will withdraw In favor of
Soldiers' Field. Tho ned and Blue
authorities staged the events on
Franklin Field last ear nnd It Is
now Harvard's turn. The last time
the Intercolleglates were held in
Cambrldgo was In May, 1916.
Is pending. The C. C JC. Y.. Prince

New York are the only other dual en
gagements on the Penn slate. The In
dividual championships will be staged
In New York on March 22.
After the swimming match the
water polo battle with the Blue and

picked the following for tho contest
against tho Momlngstde Heights aggre
gation Fisher, goal; Fairies, center
