JOHNSON MUSI SURRENDER BELT DUNFEE RULES Syracuse. April 11—Once and for nil it has been determined that the gold belt emblematic of the Central New York lightweight championship does not belong to Battling Johnson. It is not for his permanent possession nnd never can be awarded on a permanent basis to a boxer unless, forsooth, he be tbe miracle man. the dcerlllon of ages, whose tenure on this spheroid is without end. Joe Dunfee, sports pro moter extraordinary, who made ori inal award of the belt at the time lie was manager of the Arena A. C.. gave out last night the conditions under which the belt was put in circulation. \The belt 'belongs to a man so long ns he is tho champion.' said .Mr. Duu- fee. \There is no such stipulation as that the boxer who defend.- his litlc successfully on three occasions takes the belt unto himself as a perinnuent possession The belt is this day tlie property of the Arena A. 0 It is one of the holdings I surrendered when I sold out to the present management of the cluft Jack Lewis is absolutely right in his contention that Johnson is morally and legally bound to surrender the belt.

Tlhe Cardinals will present a re-ar ranged infield. With Milton Stock a hold-out, Rogers Hornsby has been shifted over to third baseband George Toporcer, a bespectacled recruit with out previous professional experience, •has succeeded Hornsby at second. Fournier and Lavan, are back at first and short', respectively, and Harold Janvrln ia again available for the util ity role. NEW YORK (GIANTS). Ulght up iu front from the start Is the place in the 1921 pennant race which the‘'follow'ers of the Giants ex pect the tcam will ,occupy after the opening game on April 13. Whether the New York players will verify this confidence of the club patrons remains to be proved. If careful prepara tion and excellent coaching during their training can bring success the Giants certainly have had the best of everything in that line throughout the Southern trip. .Manager McGraw and his assistants, Hughey J,ennings and Jesse Burkett with, Cozy Dolan helping out, certainly form a staff of directors and instruc tors which could not be duplicated by any other club in the National League. McGraw this year will be strictly ' a bench manager and he will intrust the coaching to Jennings and Burkett. PITTSBURGH (PIRATES). When the Pittsburgh National League appears at Cincinnati tor the opening game of the 19i21 season, “Rab bit” iMaranville will be at shortstop. Since the retirement of Hans Wagner several years ago, the Pirate manage ment'has experimented with a num- br of men in the short field. Maran- ville, obtained from Boston during the winter, has been brilliantly per-, forming according to training camp re ports, and the management expects to have a stronger team than it has had since the pennant-winning days o£ 1909. George Whitted, last season’s third baseman, will be stationed in right field, provided Clyde Barnhart shows the form at third base expected by Manager Gibson. Mamhart, graduat ing from the semi-pro ranks, went to •the Southern Association in 1020 and was recalled by the Pirates last fall. CINCINNATI (REDS). When the Reds take the field for the opening game of the season in Cincinnati on April 13 against the Pittsburgh Pirates, they will be a re modeled ball club from that which won •the National League pennant and the scandalous world series In 1919. Un less Ed Roush, center fielder, and Henry Groh, third baseman, who are holdouts, capitulate and return to the lineup there will be only three of the Reds of 1919 in the game. They will be Pat Duncaffi in left field: .Take HOME RUN GIVES GIANTS VICTORY New York, April 11.—The Giants ihamded the Senators another trounc ing in the final game of the series at the Polo Grounds Suuday afternoon aud thereby -made It six victories in the seven games played. The final score was 7 to 5. “Long Geo. Kelly de cided the issue in the sixth inning when he crashed a home run into the right field stand ’with Frisoh and Walker on the bases. The Washington players out hit the, home talent, but the Giants used their safeties to better advantage than their rivals. Tho New Yorkers bunched three hits in the fourth and five more in the sixth while the Senators’ hits wore scattered through seven innings. They staged a threatening rally in the ■eighth Inning, but -were stopped short after they had come -within two runs of tying the score.. Jim Shaw, who pitched the first five innings for the visitors, was found for five hits, but the big crash came in the sixth after George Mogridge, former Yankee, had taken the mound. It was when -Mogridge was on the mound that Kelly slnjmned out his home run. Se\or Jose Acosta occupied the box in the final tnnlng and held the Giants hitlesS. After Anthony Harriman’s marri age to Charlotte Graves, a girl beneath him socially, his mother belittled her to him whenever she had a chance. Charlotte was not a social success aud Mrs. Harriman constantly compared her failures with the brilliant success of Edith Comstock, the girl the mother had wanted her son to marry. Char lotte discovered that she was to be come a mother, but she hail become so intimidated and was so unhappy that she was afraid to tell Tony the truth. At a dance at the country club, she displeased him because slu> responded to the kindness of a man he did not approve of, nnd hurt to the soul at tlie terrible things he said-, she re solved to run away.

Most of it comes sweeping in from other countries, blowing up beyond the three mile limit without passport or tariff restrictions. Some of it might bear the brand, “Made in the ID. S.

The little nest flooded with rose-colored light was empty, the bird had ilown There was a long moment, and then Mrs. Harriman turned and looked at Tony. His handsome young face was white and set, all the anger had died out of it. ‘She hasn't gone without leaving a note; it isn't possible!” And Tony rushed to the dressing table, turning over the delicate things in his haste. He rushed from there to tho bed, but there was no note pinned to the pillow'. The most diligent hunt revealed noth ing at all, and Mrs. Harriman stood watching her soil witli a little smile that boded no good, flickering around her handsome, but rather hard month.

The completed arrangements will allow tho big crowd to see all three events, start ing with the baseball match at 2 o’clock and then taking trolleys and automo biles for the I-Iousatonic in plenty of time for the opening race, which will probably be rowed about 4:15 o’clock. The crew managers have planned for an observation train to be run from the Shelton Station, following the ciw s in both events.

Don’t go after her; let her come to her senses if you think she will, and write to you herself. She owes you that much.” Mrs. Harriman was cleverly reading her son’s thoughts and putting her own ideas Into his head before he should have time to act. She knew that his first thought would be to go after Charlotte and to bring: her home, but if she could forestall this impulse while he had a chance to think matters over, perhaps things might work out yet to her own liking.

There .1 is some consolation to enthu siasts for the “Made in America” movement, the -Society says, in the fact that tlie great majority of dis turbances that enter tho states origi nate in Alaska, or in the great warm cauldron of the North Pacific between the Aleutian IslaDds and Hawaii, wrhich Is almost a United States sea. So the weather is uot subject to regulation. There is no way of sup pressing high and low disturbances. Atmospheric pressure is boss of its own whims. The groundhog is not nearly so accurate a prophet as a lit tle vane at the edge of the sea. “The areas of disturbance— ‘lows’ and 'highs’—mad 6 familiar to large numbers of people by the rough circles j ^ ^ average speed of aud ellipses that indicate them on the J)0nr daily weather maps ot the Weather Bureau,' says the Society bulletin, “cross the continent usually iu three or four days. Usually rain or snow falls in the ‘low’ areas or slightly in advance of them. Tbe rains that occur in the arid parts of the West, how ever, usually follow the passage of the ‘lows.’ ” The “highs” that traverse the United States have fewer places of origin than the \lows”—Alberta North and South Pacific, Rocky Mountains nnd Hudson Bay. They usually bring cooler weather. Tho bitterest cold waves known in the region from the Gr&t Lakes eastward follow “highs” that drift down from the Hudson Bay, but judghig by tho recent winter performance there was not much drift ing. The bulletin does not explain why the past winter fell so far below the usual average, or whether this may be taken- to mean that the approaching summer will break nil records for heat, considering Its early start.
