STUAUT MAY BE SIGNED Sara Stuart, who played with the As toria baseball club last season, may be given an opportunity to display hla wares before Manager McCredie. Stuart, who la an easterner, is a big fellow, weighing In the neighborhood of 200 pounds.

BARXEH SOME ORGANIZER John Barnes and Bob Brown are sure putting across the Pacific International league in grand style. Already a dozen towns have been awarded franchises, Including Astoria, YaVima, Bellingham, Spokane, Vancouver, B. C, Boise, Idaho. Although Astoria has not defintely accepted the oner to enter the circuit Bill Leard has been appolnter manager and he has started signing up a lot of semi-pro talent around San Francisco. Mike Lynch is said to be slated for the management of the Yakima club. Wonder wtiy Barnes does not ask Aberdeen to enter the league? Bob Meusel. former Vernon third sacker. and Bill Pieroey, who hurled for Sacramento last year, are among the New York American holdouts. Both are demanding topnotch salaries. "Red" Smith, who starred at third base for the Boston Nationals when the Braves won the world's championship in four , straight games, has been pur chased hy Miller Huggins. This prob ably means that Meusel will have a lit tle competition, if J. "Homerun" Baker decides to remain away from organized baseball.

MARTIJT HAS CHASCE Martin, perhaps, stands the best chance of any of the would-be oppo nents of Carpentier to get on with him in this country in what would be consid ered a workout for Georges prior to his much-talked-of battle with Jack Demp- sey. The A. E. F title holder is immensely popular among the ex-service men, and promoters in general are agreed that he would be a drawing card against Tun ney or Fulton, let alone Carpentier. Meanwhile Jimmy Bronson, Carpen tier's manager, is hot on the trail of Scotty Monteith, trying to arrange a return bout between Martin and Ray Smith, who won a popular decision over the A. E. F. title holder in a 10-round engagement Yakima Baseball Fans Want Berth Yakima, Feb. 13.

By Jack Velock NEW YORK, Feb. 13. (I. N. S. In prohibiting trades or sales of players after July 1,. the American league has taken a step that will do much toward restoring the sporting spirit in baseball. This was the belief expressed in local baseball circles today in conjunction with the opinion that the National league made a mistake by refusing to adopt a like rule. The new American league rule will put a stop to indiscriminate bidding for players In the middle of red-hot pen nant races. It will do away with the practice of tampering with players and will prevent players with second di vision clubs from becoming so easily dissatisfied. It will also prevent an other such battle in American league circles as the one over Carl Mays, a bat tle that shook tieleague to its founda tion. American : league clubs, however, will have to struggle along on their merits after the first of July, and money bags will not count in the pennant race.
