Savannah, Ga. March 9.-Manasger
Bill. Donovan's two divisions Joined
forces here yesterday morning just
before the advance was made on Ath-
letie Park for The daily workout, and
the addition of the Hot Springs con-
tingent made decided difference in
the appearance of the squad. Twenty
seven Yankees. not Including Dorfo-
van, Kelly. and Farrel, mingled with
several Savannah South Atlantic lea
guers.
The Hot Springs party plainly
showed the effects of their extra
training whenever they had occasion
to throw the ball, but the appearance
of at least two players beliedi the
glowing accounts of weight reduction
which have fitted IN here from the
Arkansas resort.
Ray Keating has taken off several
pounds OF flesh which he carried
when he left Bridgeport about three
weeks ago, but Isis days of conditions
ing are noteyet over. He has several
more pounds which he could spare
without falling to a shadow Ed
Sweeney's belt is also above the nor

Joe Kelley had both of these play
lers in the outfield making them chase
his long drives to all sections of the
meadow, Warhop, Nunamalzer, CaId-
well, and Brown appear to be at nor
NAL weight.

Bescher, like the other Giants who

This was the first meeting between
the two greatest, false alarms Of re-

ed in New York only q short time be-.
fore his bout with Moran. He had
boxed and .wrestled a bit in his home
town in Iowa and in st. Paul, where
he was employed in a livery stable,
but he was still a novice at the game
when he took on the Pittsburgher.
Tom O,Rourke had taken the husky
Iowa man under his wing and had
taught him the fudiments of boxing.
Within a few months Palzer had
knocked out Tom Kennedy and Al
Kaufman and in 1912 he put away
Bombardier Wells and Sailor White.
He was considered the most pron7is-

met Luther McCarty at Vernon in
1913 and was Knocked out. A little
later he again met Moran. in New
