There was a conflict in dates, and for a time It looked as If either the
world's greatest preacher or the world's greatest ball club would be asked
to cancel the annual visit. The Tampa authorities told Sunday to use the
falr grounds, which also is the ball field, and some other city authorities
told the Red Sox to use the park. When the mlx-up was discovered the
Tampans were up against it. They did not know whether they wanted
religion or baseball, and when the discussion was at its height Billy
Sunday himself interfered.
"Pitch a tent for me any place," lie said. "Let the boys have the ball
(round. Wo will work together."
So everything was settled and everybody satisfied. I owever, it will
l)e nn unusual spring training trip for a ball club, tho same aa it will be an
unusual religious revival. While Manager Ed Barrow is telling some awk
ward rookie what he looks like and bawls him out like a regular manager,
die soft notes of somo hymn or a portion of Sunday's sermon will be
wafted across the field. The tent has been pitched in center Held, where
there is plenty, of room.
t SAW ilr. Sunday in Tampa yesterday and asked Mm what he
thouaht of the new arrangement.
"Don't mind it a bit," he replied. "Baseball Is a great sport,
the majority oj players are elcan-mindcd and clean-living young
men and I am glad they are near mc. I. el 'cm take off the halter
and run tcild.
Sunday to Practice
"I
ALSO wish to state," resumed
there practicing with the boys In
field after the afternoon services and be a real fan. I like baseball and
can't get enough of It.
"Baseball should have a big season T believe It will bo a trifle slow
at the start, but after the first month the public will become more and
more interested und the large crowds will attend the games. It Is a recog
nized, established American sport and cannot help but bo successful."
However, It will be a strange sight to see both attractions on the same
field; but the spectators should worry. If they get tired watching the game
ihey can go to the tent and be saved, and vice versa. There will be some
thing doing on April 5 and 6, when tho New York Giants travel to Tampa
'to play two exhibition games. The crowd is likely to prefer baseball on
those afternoons, as McGraw's troupe will be there but two days and Sun
day is booked for a month.
Most of the players are In town for the opening practice today, but I
will not see them until my visit there later In the week. However, there
were a few on hand on Saturday, and from what I understand Frazee H
having his troubles In signing them up. More than one-half of the iliam
plon3 have not yet agreed to terms, although they are on the job for spring
training. Frazee will visit Tampa the latter part of the week and try to
fix things up.
'THIS old city seems lost without the Phillies this year. 1'or four
straight seasons the National Leaguers have been training here
and Kcre considered part of the town, Ilka the City Hall or the
4 .Municipal Band. Now the citizens are forced to sit on thr benches
which decorate each street corner and talk about the Civil War and
the last visit of the Phillies.
Mayor Al Lang Loses Out All Around
TOHX JAY McGRAW, who is overlooking no bets whn the Giants are
W concerned, has planned to come here to look the town over and find
out for himself what kind of a place it is for a spring training Jaunt.
Jawn is in Gainesville with his high-priced troupe and will travel through
here on April 5 to play the Red Sox in Tampa.
Al Lang, the Mayor, 1b disconsolate. His Honor is a great baseball fan
and in the past acted as Bill Shettsline's assistant at the ball park. He
would take tickets at the auto gate, sell programs or get out and umpire
It the play,ers would stand for him. He tried hard to get some big league
club to train here this spring, but lost out all around. Tho other clubs
imagined the Phillies had a lifetime mortgage on St. Pete and laid off. It
will not be like that next year, however.
His Honor Is getting things ready for a big reception when McGraw
kit town. The Municipal Band will be all tuned up and the best-speaking
citizens will deliver orations. It will be o bigger day than the Fourth
of July.
JUIILLEH HVGGIXS and hte troupe of Yankees arc in Jax, all
" primed up to get busy today. They have taken the ball yard
formerly used by the Athletics, and every one is tickled to death
tcith it. The park is across the river, tvhich gives the boys a trip
on the boat every day. Hug is pleased over the signing of Del Pratt
and Ms toorries are over so far as second base is concerned.
Casey Stengle May Go to Phils
fTlHERE has been a lot of gossip spilled down here in the last week about
a big trade in which the Phillies are concerned. It seems strange that
a rumor should start so far away from home, but the wise persons aro
confident they have the proper dope.
The story is that Casey Stengle will be with the Phils this ear. No
one knows exactly how the switch will bo made, either by trade or by out
right purchase, but it is said that Jack Coombs is working hard to put the
deal through. The Phils have no one to use In a trade, all of the real
players having been disposed of, so it looks like a cash transaction.
However, there might be a sort of three-cornered deal pulled off, with
Pittsburgh, Brooklyn and the Phillies playing the important parts. Brook
lyn needs a first baseman and has some player needed by Barney Dreyfuss.
Btongle wants to leave Pittsburgh and play in the East, so a trade between
those clubs is possible. Then, if Stengle is landed, a swap can be made
With Coombs for Fred LuderUH. Ludy will fit in nicely with the Dodgers
r una Biengie can uo some swell outnemmg tor the PhII
JF THAT deal goes through Whitted will play first base for the
home folks, a position he can capably fill. However, these rumors
ore flying thick and fast and it is impossible to trace their origin.
But it must be remembered that strange things can happen in base
ball, and perhaps this is one of them.

OF GOTHAM YARN
New Yorkers Trying to
Make Local Star Appear
as a Professional
HAVE THE WRONG 'DOPE
By ROBERT T. PAUL
Once agnln the petty Jealousy which
plsts between New York and this city
has cropped up. For cars the natives
of the so-called "Big Town" have had an
I ill feeling toward the athletic stars o(
mis ciiy. an tnclr beller no one who
claimed this city ns his home could
eer become a topnotehcr. This high
rnnk was only for New Yorkers. As
soon as n local star became recognized
throughout the country the Gothamltes
would endeavor to discredit the Phlla.
delphlan's ability.
This time Bill Tllden, one of the
greatest tennis players of tho country
at the present time and Incidentally a
Phlladelphlan, has. been made the butt
of the New Yorkers. A report, which
is sure to bo reprinted by the leading
newspapers throughout the entire coun
try, has originated In New York that
Tilden is soon to be declared a pro
fessional and barred from amateur
ranks.
Wrong From the Start
Yesterday it was announced that tho
executive committee of tho National
I-awn Tennis Association would enforce
strictly all of Us rules, many of which
lay dormant during tho period of the
war. Among other things It was'mado
clear that tho executive commltteo would
not allow its members to be employed
In tho sporting goods department of any
store or manufacturing firm. On this
subject it reafllrmed the resolutions of
1917, to enforce the provisions of tho
amateur rule.
The report then went on to say how
this action was taken, following the
statement that many eastern stars. In
cluding Bill Tllden and Vincent Rich
aids, has taken positions In tho tennis
departments of big department stores.
Mso a strict Interpretation of the ama
teur rule, It was said, would bar Tllden
ind Richards or else they would have
to give up their present positions.
Of course, this made a great story
from a. news standpoint, Tllden was
unner-up to R. Llndley Murray In the
Inals last year and was ranked with
Murray as No. 1, while Richards, at slx
'cen years of age, Is considered better
t his age than McLaughlin or Dick Wil
liams were. He Is a coming champion
nd a pupil of Tllden's.
Richards Not Employed
Tho only thing wrong with the btory
Is that neither Bill Tllden nor Vincent
Richards Is employed In the sporting
goods department of the John Wann
maker store. In fact, Richards Is not In
the employ of the Wanamaker store.
Tllden works at Wanamaker's, but he
Is on tho management payroll and not i
the sporting goods department's. i
It is part of his duty to be In the -r n rr i i w;-ii in . m
sporting goods department at various Mrs- " Barlow Will Meet Mrs.
lines during the day. Rut he does little Jj Pritchard Today
selling especially of tennis articles. The rineliiirM, N. c. March 24. The draw
writer has been with Tilden In the sports I for today's match round in the cham
denartment several times, but not once , plonshln eight of the North and South
has he seen Tllden sell anything con- '
nected with tennis. As for Richards, It
said that he soon will take a posi
tion with the Wanamaker firm, but It
will not be In the sporting good de
partment under Tllden, as New Yorkers
; sav He will be In the contracting de-
partment, If anywhere.
Why Not Gotham Stars?
Prejudice Is shown In the fact that,
while many New .York stars. Including
Fred Alexander, are employed by sport
ing goods firms, no mention Is made of

coine over to this city. He expects to , tlonal Association of Amateur Billiard

Local tennis followers are aroused by . probably all of the national champlon
Ihe New York report and Intend to do ship awards for the coming year will be
all In their Doner to see that Tllden Is,
not made, the Joke of a New York yarn.
It was expected that the executive com
mittee would bring up the amateur, rul
ing, but drawing Tllden and Richards

Scarcity of "880" Runners
Causes Coach Robertson
to Break Away From
Quaker Custom
LANDERS SHOWS FORM
By EDWIN J. POl.i.nnK
TAWSO.V ROBERTSON Is going t
- break away from 'Pennsylvania
manners and customs on April 2G, the
second day of the relay carnival at
Franklin Field. Penn tradition will re
ceive a IC O. wallop when the pack
gels away in the two-mile relay, for
there will be no Red and Bine-clad lads
In tho field.
11 'always had been the custom at the
University to enter a team or individuals
In every college event on the program,
no matter how pobr the class of the
athletes competing for tho Quakers.
Penn felt that as host such a thing was
proper and fitting. Lawson Robertson
thinks otherwise.
"What Is tho use or entering a team
In tho two-mile races?" said Robertson.
McHale Is the only half-mller we have,
and If we ran him at anchor he would
be so far behind when he started his
relay that the others would be at th
tape.
880 Men Few
"I can't see the sense ot starting third
and fourth raters In the race merely
because It Is .the custom. No college
will think Pennsylvania Is less obliging -as
a host If we don't enter n team,
furthermore, I doubt 'If I could scrap
up four half-mller!) and still enter men
In the dlstanco and sprint medleys and
the one and four mile relays."
Concu Robertson Intends running
Mike McIIalo on the four-mile team as
well as- the distance medley, which will
be held on April 25, the first day of the i
races. With McHale on the four-mile
quartet will be Harvey Price, Dill Cum
mlngs and Sam Klviat.
The one-mile team probably will be
composed of the same men who ran for
Penn In the Mlllrose games In New York
last month. This combination Is .made
up of Creed Haymond, Fred Davis, Mar
vin Ciustafson and Llmer Smith, who
will tun In the order named.
Rogers Has Chance
"Dewey Rogers, the former Northeast
sprinter, may break Into the one-mile
quartet. Haymond has a lot to learn
about running the quarter mile yet, and
Coach Robertson may keep him for the
220 In the sprint medley and then enter
him In the special hundred. Granger
also has a chance of making the team,
although a rather slim one.
Robertson virtually has decided on
the personel of the sprint medley aggre
gation. Davis and Haymond are the
selections for the furlong. Smith will
run the quarter and Gustafson the half'
mile. It will be noticed that most of the
runnetjs will be called upon to compete
In two hard races In two days. The
scarcity of good men will mean a tar
on the few re'Iable athletes.
Sherman Landers, 1016 national pole
vault champion and 1918 national Indoor
300-yard champion, scored his first win
In big league competition this season
when he captured the 70-yard hurdles In
Newark Saturday night. Landers made
the distance In 8 3-E seconds. Landers
was stricken with pneumonia after he
won the A. A. U. .100 last year, but is
returning to his old form.
Kherm will be used In the hop skip
and iump and the pole vault In the relay
carnival nnd In tho lntercolleglates will
try tho po'e vault, broad jump and the
century dash.
