"No fat there, is there ?" he de-

not pretty, 1 know, but do you see
any puffiness?
"The reason I'm in such good con-
dition is that l boxed four and five
times a day when l was on the
road with my show. My work
amounted to actual training up to
the time we closed in Los Angeles
a couple of weeks ago.

perintended my own training more

you can believe it.
81 have Larry Williams, the
Bridgeport heavyweight, who work

Then on the road l picked up old

Catholic University and George

Catholic University and George

Nally have surrendered Aaron
Ward, who blew an important
worlds series game, thinks he is
worth twice as much as he tapped
the Yankee till for last year.
Aaron demands $4,000 as the
price of his 1922 pride. Wally
Pipp and Frank Baker have not
accepted terms and DeVormer Is
the only catcher under contract.
Even Elmer Miller. who jumped
from a minor league to a world
series, is dissatisfied with the pal
try few thousand offered for his
services.
AS matters now stand the Yanks
have signed up one catcher. one
pitcher and one infielder. The
training season begins in two
weeks. The war is on.
Of course, the club has cor
raled a flock Of ambitious youths
who are willing to accept any
salary to cl'nch with a big leaCue
opportunity. but Manager Hug
gins has no idea Of opening the
season with these men in his reg
ular batting order. The colonies
may feel that way, but Higgins
has to take the slaps.
None Of the rebellious pitchers
were heard from yesterday. Bob
Shawkey is expected here the first
Of next week to personally con-
duct his plea. Possibly Joe Bush
will come over from Philadelphia
also to present his case. Sam
Jones is somewhere in the West
and Carl Mays is entrenched in
the Ozarks of Missouri. 1t is un-
derstood that Mays Is demanding
a three-year contract.

CARPENTER SEES LEWIS
FLATTEN BRITISH FOE

BRIGHTON. England. Feb. 1S.-
Ted kid Lewis, British weller
weight boxer. knocked out Tom
GUNNER, the British middleweight,
in the first round of their bout
here last night. AS GUNNER was
overweight no question of cham
pionship was involved.
Georges Carpenter, European
heavyweight champion, was present
at the match, and afterward it was
definitely stated that he would meet
Lewis in a bout, probably in April.
Lewis holds the welterweight,
middleweight, and light heavyweight
of England. He for
merly held the worlds welterweight
championship, having lost that title
to Jack Britton in America before
invading England.

Sure Sign of Spring.

DHIL SCHENCK sails from
New Orleans today with
= samples of assorted home
plates which he will plant in the
various parks where the Yanks
will scratch gravel. Perhaps you
don't know who Phil Schenck is.
For your information. therefore,
we will state that Phil is only
major league groundkeeper with
out a ground to keep. He has
been with the Yankees for many
years but lost his grass plot when
the club abandoned the hilltop
grounds. -,
But Phil is happy. He will be
the chief landscape artist for the
new Yankee Stadium when it is
finished and then he will no
longer stand as a target for the
gibes of the heartless wretches
who kid him about his job at the
Polo Grounds. Phil is going
down to New Orleans to super
intend the building of a tempo
rary clubhouse for the Yankees
and to manicure the diamond on
which they will train.

suited the crystal ball, he has made
