CAN FRANCISCO, March 10
y After seeing Ad Wolgast in
action with Tommy Murphy.
sporting men of thoughtful turn
have come to the conclusion that
even If Wolgast has gone back"
he is still fit ring company for any
thing Of his weight that walks in
two shoes
1t is doubtful If Wolgast in his
palmiest days could have stood the
stress of as blizzardly a bout and
shown less signs Of fatigue. 1t was
an affair to test the mettle of the
most rugged fislters, let alone one
whose vitality was supposed to
have suffered through an appen-
dicitis operation.
AS result of it all, 1t is not
likely that the possible effects Of
Wolgast's hospital experiences a
year ago will enter so much into
the discussion about chances when
he stands forth to fight again.
If he does the square thing by
himself In the training line and is
then defeated by Willie Ritchie,
Joe Rivers or Tommy Murphy. as
the case may be, there will scarce
ly be "A disposition on the part OF
the sporting public TO attribute the
reverse to slOughing away OF
Wolgast's fighting ability. The YER
dict, I'm thinking, VIII be that
Wogast simply met his master
and that the same man would have

his career.

another match | wouldn't under
take to say. Sitting in the press

Both Tech High and Boys High have

Downing will represent Tech High in

It looks as though the BOYS High base
ball team will be stronger than the team
from Tech High this year, as they have

also working harder. The team practices
every week day, while the Tech High
bunch reports only on Mondays, Wednes-

Although no varsity team has yet been

PROSPECTS, BAD

NTASHvILLE. TENN, March
" 10.-Taking advantage Of the
first signs of mild weather,
Coach Bill Anderson, of the Van
derbilt track team, has had his
candidates out for practice in
deadly earnest. Twenty-fiv men
responded to the call for volun-
teers, and the outlook for a point
making aggregation in all track
events is the best in many years.
while in the field events 1t is just
as gloomy.
In Robbins, Page and Armistead,
Anderson has a trio of stars in the
quarter mile class, while from last
years team, which came back a
winner from the S. l. A. A. meet, he
has Captain Copeland, Austin. Gill
and Hume.
But not a sign of a hurdler, shot
putter or weight man has appear
ed so far, and the coach will have
a tough job on his hands to de-
velop material for these events.
Last season the same proposition
confronted the Commodores-they
were strong on the cinder path and
pitifully weak in the fleld-but they
scored more points than any other
team, which is really what counts,
after all.
Of the new men, Milholand, the
California boy, who was used last
year as a sub on the football team,
and Page look to be the best OF the
lot Whitley hung up a record
on the coast of 2:02 for the half

Both boys realize that they have
a heap to gain if they win and lots

practically been promised a bout
with Leach Cross at the Audi
torium- -Armory a week or ten days
hence. Cross meets Joe Mandot in
New orleans tonight and will stop
off here on the way back to his

over Cross would put either O'Keefe

GROUND WET,SO
PITCHERS ONLY
WILL De WORKED

NWINCf to the rich, juicy condi-
ton of the grounds at Ponce
DeLeon park there will be
no fielding practice today But the
pitchers will get a work kout for all
that. The whole bunch was out
this morning and took a stiff work
out under the shelter of the stands,
and they will be back for an encore
this afternoon.
When Bill Smith was asked this
morning his training plans for the
week, he said
Same as last week, only more
Of It,"
I'm going to work them all lot
harder this week than last" con-
tinued Smith. "The pitchers have
got to begin fielding their positions
and the infielders will have to cover
their positions in mid season style"
Smith plans to work on all the
simpler points of team play and
when practice is on he will expect
all players to look out for their po-
sitions just as they will in regular
games
BY the middle of the week vir-
tually all of the squad should be
here. and Manager Smith will be-
gin to sort them over and make
plans for packing the excess play
ers to smaller clubs and to weld
the remainder into good, stout
team
1t will be a long while, at that,
before Smith will let out any play
ers. He is an awful bug for hold
ing on to his men and giving them
every chance in the world. If he
had Ty Cobb in center field and
some kid was also trying for the
Job he would give him two chances
to Cobb's one, just in the hope that
he would develop into something.
It isn't often that Smith has as
many raw kids to work with as he
has this year. And he's tickled
pink, for developing kids is one of
hls specialties. He takes more pride
IN developing one kid into a real
ball player than he does in getting
good baseball out of eight old
timers.
