By SAM CRANE. | JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 12.— During the first week’s spring train ing of the Yankees much was accom plished by the players considering that weather conditions weére not up to what was expected under Florida skies. : The outstanding feature was "Bubq"] Ruth's display of vim and energy in practise, his ambition to fit himself to live up to his great reputation and to earn the big salary he will be pam{ for his hitting ability. There are no prima donno ideas in Babe’'s men tal meke-up. He does not want any more favors than his fellow players receive, He loves baseball so well and s so robust physically that he jJust naturally has to cavort. Energy and ambition ooze from him and he simply must cut loose like a frisky and playful bear cub. Ruth, though, lives up to the disci pline that Manager Huggins insists on in the routine practise, and goes about his work conscientiously and with a show of “pep” that i{s infec tious. It is after the routine work of the day is figished that Ruth shows at his characteristic best. He plays ainy old peosition thai is va cant except in the pitchers’ box. He is Just a big kid who would rather play ball than eat, and “Babe” dear ly loves his meals. “Babe” Ruth i= a physical marvel and one of the sort of players found ®ut once in a decade. Players like him with ability, ambition and the real love of baseball are few and far between. APPRECIATES HIS WORTH. While Ruth is not swelled of head, he appreciates his worth and ability as an athlete, and he would be a fool if he were not proud of the reputa tion he has made. 1 am positive that he will be much more popular with his fellow players of the Yankees than is Ty Cobb with the Tigers, simply because the famous Georgian is on the prima donna order and “Bahe” ig not. While not enough time has been given one to pick out theroughly the strong and weak points of the ma- Jority of the Yankees, it can be sald in their favor that no bunch of play ers ever reported to better physical condition to begin training than those Manager Huggins has under his leadership right now. There does not appear & single one among them who is overweight more than is natural after a winter's rest. No. soft looking, puffy cheeks are in evidence. Every one is as clean cut, as straight-up-and-down a fellow as one could wish to see. They are, in fact a 4 fine a lot of boys on and off the fleld as possibly could be gath ered And more than all, they aect like gentlemen. There are no swag gering, bluffing blusterers among them. With the splendid physical founda tion they have with which to start training, the Yankees oufht to be so hardened by their six weks' prelimi pary work that they will be enabled to get the jump on their rivals in the early stages of the championship race. What a staff of pitchers Huggins has when one sizes them up on the field! It is difficult to pick out a club that has a hetter one, or even ons equal te it, in pitehing power, The hurlers are all working nicely, too, just now. The infield situation is, of course, somewhat problamatic, on aceount of J. Franklin Baker's retirement, but if Meusel ffirns out to be as wal uable an acquisition as expected and Fewster comes through there need be no worry. There seems to be a disposition to igdore ‘Ping” Bodie in figuring on the outfield proposition. but “Ping"” may spring a big surprise. He surely i=ln fine shane and 1s working like A Beaver. He is, of eourse. =low on the hases. and it is the speed hoys whom Huggins must develop, but :th the powerful punch his team it seems as if the manager could cture rome of the swiftness 80 ‘much needed. 1 nnah, Ruel, Hoffman and Mur- | phy look like auite a nifty quartet of “catchers.

New York is the BEastern champion, and Wednesday they looked and acted the part. Thelr sensational shooting and flawless teamwork simply carried roughshod over the Longhorn team. Jake Cann. a big forward, and ‘brothor of Ted Cann, the famous swimmer, shone brilliantly through out the game. He registered four teen field goals, while Mooney, the center shot eleven field goals and four fouls for a total of 28 points, Goellen. another forward, played a fine game, making twelve field goals. Houston's outstanding star was Secor, the famous center. Litterest the forward' failed to show any class against the big New York ﬂ\'e.! During the last few minutes of play, New York used but four men, Guard Baker having been ejected for com ‘mitting four personal! fouls.

Frenchman Signs to Travel Around U. S, Under Manage ment of Jack Curley, By ED CURLEY., Georges Carpentler, the French war herp and the young man who holds the championship of Europe, is going to swing around the big cities of this great country under the personal management of Jack Curley. This announcement will be quite a sur prise to the army of rival promoters who were telling the world fair they had Carpentier under contracts call ing for the appearance of the idol of France for everything and anything, . Under the contract Carptentier will be under the watchful eye of Cu*y for seven weeks, and if the tour {s p - or beyond expectations Carpentier will stay under Curley’s care for five additional weks, According to the tentative plans of the promoter, Car pentier will not overlook any of the blg cities in this country or in Can ada, In fact, the promoter has made arrangements for Carpentier’'s ap pearance in most of the large towns, _ s 0 he is poseitive it will be grand sur cess, both from a financial, as well as a spectacular view. There is a slight possibility that the big fight may take place under Curley’s management. "Tis only a pos siblity, as the promoter isn't keen for staging the fracas. If it should reachh the point, however, where he feels he can swing the fray without too much trouble and care he may step into the bidding arena. At the present moment he stands aside for the other anxious promoters. The whole story is told 1a the following statement of Jack Curley: “For some time I have negotiated for Georges Carpentier's services for an American tour. I now have his signatire as well as thaf of his man ager, Desctamps. The rFrench cham- | pion will begin appearing under my management on May 3 and the tour will last for ten weeks. In addition, I have an option on his services for five more weeks. During that time I will have him appear in all the principal cities in the United States and Canada. .
