High and Conway Also.

Andy High and Dick Conway, who
are taking care of the shortfield and
second base, respectively, are another
pair who are looking exceptionally good
In spring training. These two birds

rience, but they are nustling out there
all the time and win be able to keep
up with the Dixie major standard this
season. They are both full Of pep and
life, and they take a healthy cut at the

picked a pair Of peaches in these two.
Frank Griffin, who is now stationed
In the outfield, viii prove worthy of
his hire this season for he will be able
to play anywhere he may be needed
and acquit himself well. Griffin is a
first baseman by preference, but with
Joe Slattery on the door, Griff hasn't
had a chance to break In at that cor
ner, Chief Barger has about made up
his mind to keep Slattery at first and
as Griffin can play any position he will
be used as the Tribes handy man.
Hugh Canavan, the Tribes portsider,
bought from the Boston Braves. will be
one Of the regular moundmen this sea-
son and will be the only left-hander
carried by the Chicks. There are sew
eral other youngsters trying out for
berths and some of them look promis-

Some Tribesmen Look Good.
Some of the Tribesmen now in camp
look good, and some others do not
look SO good. Joe Slattery, who is
slated to take care OF the first bag,
is having a hard time getting his bat
ting eye in focus and in the exhibition
games played with the Louisville Col
onels, Josephus was unable to do any
great amount of damage to the Colonel
