BASEBALL SPORTS OF al sORTs-BOXMG

MAYBE MRS, McLaFry didn't raise
her boy, Polly" to be a big league
ball player, but Roger .Bresnahan,
manager Of the Cubs, has some ideas
on that subject himself. In the first
game of the season between two
squads of Cubs, McLarry was given
the second basing work on the first
crew and he performed in a highly
creditable manner. He pinked one
single that started a rally.
McLarry's batting has been a
strong feature of the early spring
work of the Cubs. He swings from
the off side of the plate and connects
solidly, much after the style employed
by Vic Safer to dent the right field
signbOard out at the Cub park.
Whether he can hit in big league
company and field up to specifca-
tons remains to be. seen. But the
big fellow win not fail because of lack
Of opportunity. His strongest COM
petitor at the present time is Arthur
Phelan, who is holding down the key
stone with the second flight.
Arts exploits in the big league are
known. He fields exceTlentIy and has
the power and eye to send the paIIid
pill high and far away. If McLarry
beats him out for the regular assign
ment there need be no fear felt over
the way second base will be guarded
during the 1915 pennant campaign.
These early practice games mean
little. They are merely tossed in to
heighten the interest of the athletes
and give them something to work for.
Merely batting a ball around and
catching it day after day is not thrill
ing sport and the managers must hit
on something to keep the boys
keyed. up. @ --.-I
Adams and SchoEr did the pitching
for one side and Robbins and STAND

if you fail to connect on your first
effort, back to the bench you go.
Until Jimmy CIabby and Mike Glib
bons are definitely matched in a 20
round fight for the middleweight
title at New Orleans we shall view
the negotiations skepticaIly. Larney
Lichtenstein, Clabby's manager, says
he has assurance from the st. Paul
phantom that he will meet CIabby
in the Crescent City some time in
May in real battle for the cham
pionship.
This is in direct contradiction to
the sentiments expressed by Gibbons
Immediately after his go with Eddie
McGoorty in Hudson, Wis. Then
Mike declared he had never been en-
gagged in a battle scheduled for more
than II rounds and he saw no rea-
son now to change his tactics.
And Gibbons can whip any of them
in 10 or II rounds, making a nice
financial cleanup while he is doing
it. Of course, he would gain pres
tige and become a better theatrical
card if he could decisively take the
title in a 2O-round affair, but he is
taking a chance.
Even should cIabby fail to down
him in 20 rounds, Mike still has Nc
Goorty to consider, and Eddie was
certainly growing stronger as the
Hudson fight progressed, and indi-
Gated he might at least even matters |
if the mill had gone farther.
An effort is also being made to
match Charlie White with Fred Welsh |
for 20 rounds. Charlie is a strong |
card through the country, but !
Welsh's terms must be met before a
fight is possible.
