Huggins took full advantage of the.
ideal weather conditions and kept the
youngsters on the jump for almost two
hours. The augm ented squad of nine
teen players scattered to different cor
ners of the spacious Enclosure and
practiced under the watchful eyes of
Higgins and Coaches Bob Conncry.

brother OF Bobby Roth, recently ac-
quIred from the Senators. Scout Bob

Rockies Get Real Workout
After the usual preliminary warming
up exercises the youngsters got down
to some real work Higgins formed a
makeshift inield, consisting OF Catcher
AL Deyormer at first base; Mcmillan.
at second; Skinner, at short. and
Catcher Grassick and Outfielder Wingo,
at third base. The rockies showed
plenty of life and Huggins was forced
to warn them TO take things easy.
The four ouefelders, Agnew, Con-
molly, Munson and Wingo were kept
busy chasing flies all over the lot Dur
ing the batting practice. which wound
up the first session. fo ar righthanders,
Gramley, Johnson, Sh chan and Doyle,
tossed over the plate. Joe Munson,
whose real name is Joseph Carlson,
had the distinction of being the first
of the Yankees to hit the ball over the
fence this season.
He is a left-handed batter and he
connected with one of Gramley's
shoots soon after the session started
and drove the pellet over the right
field barrier. 1t was quite a healthy
wallop, as the distance from the home
plate to the right field fence is much
greater than at the Polo Grounds.
Munson played with the Raleigh
Club, of the Piedmont League, last sea-
son and led the league in stolen bases.
He is short, heavy-set youngster, but
carries plenty of speed in his stocky
legs. He was q member of the Lehigh
University nine several years and was
recommended to the Yanks by Scout
Joe Kelley.
Gramley was kept in the box much
longer than any of the other pitchers.
and Higgins sent him to the clubhouse
early for a well-earned rest Gramley
was one of the leading college pitchers
last spring, being connected with the
Pennsylvania State team. He went
through the campaign without suffering
a defeat.
Wingo Yields Hefty Stick
Al Wingo. formerly of the Atlanta
Club, of the Southern League, shared
the batting honors with Munson. He
takes a neat swing at the ball and has
the earmarks of an experienced player.
He is quick in getting away from the
plate and is quite fast on the bases.
Wingo received & tryoX with the Ath-
letics two years ago, but was sent back
to the Minors for further seasoning.
Higgins announced tonight that Will
son Fewster had signed a contract and
that the youngster Is on his way to the
training camp, He is expected to ar
rive here tomorrow, but probably will
not be in time for even the afternoon
session.
There Is plenty Of room at the local
ball park for the Yanks 10 practice to
their hearts content and the playing
field itself is in fine shape. If condi
tions continue as they are at present
the players will soon be fit to start
their pretentious schedule of exhibition
games.

and took part In the opening were
Pitchers j. Aulbach, a former semi
pro. of Louisville, KY; Gramley, of
Pennsylvania State College, and Bruce
Hit, of the Mineral Wells Club; In
fielder Camp Skinner, of the Cedartown
Club, and Outfelder Tom Connolly, of
the Tulsa Club
