HAS STOPPED OFF.

Dazzy has very probably stopped off
between Hastings and Memphis TO pay
visit to some old friend or acquain-
lance, figuring that he might not pass
that way again for some time, and
taking advantage Of the few days that
remain before the time arrives for the
lifting of the lid on the Dixie season
Vance usually requires about a
month before he gets in the proper tet-
tie to pitch winning baseball and 1t
was with this realization that the
Chick officials have sought to get the
big sorrel here and to have him launch
his conditioning. But ballplayers have
a habit of delaying their reporting in
the spring just as long as they figure
they can get by with 1t, and Va, . has
stretched his absence until 1t has
reached an even dozen days. Report
.ag date for the Chicks was March Is,
and Saturday is the 9th.
The Chicks that are here are in good
condition, and those In camp lack but
little of being ready to open the sea
son. The fine warm weather that
Memphis new weatherman has beeu
offering during the past week has
served TO round the Chick pitchers
wings to shape, and it will be but a
few more days until they will start
putting something on the ball trying
out their curves and fast ones, change
of pace N everything.
Tiny Goodbred, the latest Tribesman
to show up, has taken to the work
with a vim, and expects to be ready TO
pitch in a week. Tiny wintered in
Mayo, Fla, which is summer all the
time, and his flipper did not freeze UP
during the whole winter. Vance tossed
oranges at alligators during the winter
months, with the result that he is al
most ready to toss the baseball into the
big mitt held by George Bischoff.

is big and husky and carries the nee
essary heft to stand world OF work

Manager Dobbs is counting a great
deal on Joe Sewell, the University of

full prospects in the Southern states.
Two big league teams were after him
when the Pels signed him. But Sewell
