Events for men in the service will
comprise the greater part of the pro-
grammc of the annual indoor track

Dodgers Meet
RedSox To-day
In Little Rock
Ease Up Practice for Exhibi-
ton Game of
Season

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, March 22.-Af-
ter a week of really hard training the
Brooklyn Dodgers were permitted to-
day for the first time to ease up in
their daily practice stunts. In view
Of the exhibition game to be played
with the Boston Red Sox at Little Rock
tomorrow, Manager Wilbert Robinson
decided to give his players rest.
Accordingly he called off the daily
practice game and put his men through
a batting and fielding drill instead
While most Of the players have worked
off the soreness in their arms and legs,
they were showing signs of being
wearied by the steady practice.
There are two games scheduled for
Little Rock. The first teams of both
the Dodgers and Red Sox will play to-
morrow and then return here for a
game Sunday. Second teams will be
left at Little Rock for game Sunday.
Play for Soldiers
The games at Little Rock were ar
ranged largely for the soldiers at
Camp Pike, a short distance from the
town. There are about $4,000 soldiers
at the camp, and the series planned by
the Brooklyn and Boston teams will
afford them their only chance to see
big league clubs in action. Some of
the games will be played at the camp.
Manager Robinson has not been able
yet to present the full strength of his
club, owing to injuries of some players,
but the lineup tomorrow will be as
strong as he can make it. 1t in
cludes Daubert, O'Mara, johnson and
O'Rourkc, infielders; Hickman. Myers
and Mitchell, outtielders; Miller and
Kruger catchers, and Cheney and Rus
SELL pitchers. Marquard and Coombs
have been held in reserve. to pitch
against Boston here Sunday.
AL Mamaux, who has been working
with new enthusiasm since joining
the Dodgers, became pupil of Jack
Coombs this; morning. Mamaux has
complained that his delivery seemed to
force a strain upon his arm. Cocnibs
took him in hand and to-day showed
him how to overcome the trouble and
perfect a smc other delivery.
MamauX promises to return to the
form that made him star in the Ma
tional League three years ago. He
is in fine shape this spring, and is pay
ing close attention to his work He
has also shown a good spirit in his
Willingness to learn something from
the Older hands, like Coombs.
Mitchell a Handy Man
Clarence Mitchell is proving to be a
very handy man for Manager Robin
son. He is not only valuable pitcher,
but is a good hitter and can play an
outtield position with skill. At the
present time he is filling in nicely as
an outtielder when Manager Robinson
is waiting for some of his crippes TO
report again for action and permit him
to get out his regular lineup.
Burleigh Grimes and Dan Griner got
into uniform to-day after d lay-off OF
several days. Both pitchers warmed up
their arms. 1t will be few days be-
fore either is ready for practice

matches, S. Hinman Bird, its captain,
suffering the only reverse.
Bird fell a victim to the crafty play

many long rallies Kidde began slow
ly, losing the first game, then rallying
strongly to outtight Bird thereafter.
The scores were 12-15, 15-9. 15-S.
Both men smashed the ball violently
but Kidde frequently altered his at
trickcd Bird out of position. The
Princeton player displayed a number
Of sensational ''gets,' and at times
made brilliant shots of Kiddc's hicks
off the side walls. kidde's round the
court game scored many aces for him
in addition to "kills" off the front wall
Bird spent considerable energy in

in the second game when he trailcd

in collecting nine aces before Kidde
