Ernie Wick, Hampered by Studies,
Did Not Get a Chance to
Practice.

Ann ArbOr. Mich, Jan. 2S.-Al-
though in action only about u
hours during the 1921 season,
Ernest Wick of Toledo, star center
of the University of Michigan vars
lty eleven, won the coveted honor
of being selected as Au-American
center by Walter Camp. Coach
Fielding H. Yost regards Vick' 5
achievement as one of the most re-
markable in the history of Ame-i-
can football.
Wick is a student in the medic II
school and did not complete his
school work until ) o'clock each
afternoon. Coach Yosts automo-
bile took him to Ferry Field every
day as soon a she had completed
his studies but he always arrived
Just as the remainder of the squad
was leaving the field With the OK
ception of five hours spent in prac-
uce on Saturdays, early in the sea
son Wick was not in uniform at any
time except during the seven games
played by Michigan this year.
Arriving at Ferry Field, Wick
would run several times about The

vigorous rub down. This consti-
tuted his only exercise during the
playing season except for that OBJ
tanned in games.
A few evenings each week Viek
met with Coach Yost and other
mentors to receive ''skulI' practice.
New plays were explained to him
and he was kept up to date on the
teams development.
Wick always is in supurb phv-
steal condition at each season of
the year and this accounts for his
ability to make the All-American
without practice" Coach Yost said
today. He had received three
years of university football train
ing previously. being benefited by
the S. A. T. c. rule, and he knew
the game from start to finish"
Wick played three positions on
defense at various times during
the last season, center. loose cen
ter, and left tackle. In his four
years of varsity play it is said that
he failed to make a single bad
pass. Another distinction he hollis
is that at no time during the four
years was time taken out for him

PLENTY OF WORK
AWAITS REDLEGS

Chicago, Ill, Jan. 30.-'fFreak"
training stunts for the Cincinnati
Reds will be barred and from the
time the players don their uniforms
at Mineral Wells, until the team
leaves for the north, the athletes
will be kept busy working into 4
perfect baseball machine. accord
ing to Manager Pat Moran.
Let the Cubs go ahead with their
mountain climbing, and let TITS
Speaker put his Indians through
their cowboy stunts, but in the
meantime watch out for the Reds
as their time will be devoted into
building up a smooth working in
field" Moran said.
The greater part of the training
work has already been mapped out
by Moran for the 1922 season. 1t
will include more baseball and less
mechanical work than has been the
case in previous years and accord
ing to indications will be the case
with other clubs in the circuit
again.
Moran has a heavy task Of build
ing up an infieId which will be new
at two points. The condition last
year altered the situation so that
infield workouts could not be held
until late in the training season.
Groh and Kopf were hOldouts ;
there was no infield ready for the
| team, Jake Daubert did not arrive
until late and Bohne and Forseca
had to be fitted into temporary po-
| sitions. This year Moran wants
/ Daubert, Bohne, Pinneli and Cav
eney ready for work when the first
| bugle blows and after spending
the first day in tossing the bal
around, the actual infield work viii
be started on the second day.
Although the players were given
good salaries last year. the club Is
doing even better this year. accord
ing to President August Hermann
Recent increases, especially for tht
younger players who have made
good with the club, it is predicted
will add to the eagerness of the
players to do their best during thu
training season.
In announcing the increases, tbs
figures for which are not given, Mr.
Hermann said:
"A liberal policy will prevail with
the Cincinnati club again this year
We do not believe that any player
has cause to protest the amount
given him. We are giving Pinelli
Caveney and Couch substantial
money; we are giving George Burn
as much as the New York clul
ever paid him; to sum up the sal
airy list of the Cincinnati club will
compare faVorably with the amount
spent by any other club in the cir
cult, although the city has tn
smallest population and finished in
sixth place last year"
The Red payroll for 1919 was one
of the largest in the league and
in 1920 it was much larger for the
pennant winners demanded and re-
ceived substantial increases. II
1921 Reuther's $4,000 salary was de-
Quoted and a few others were de
creased.
In 1922 the salary of Heinie Grol
is shifted to New York, but Burns
will draw about as much as Groh
got last year EIler's big salary is
marked of, and Kopf's big pay
check probably will be missing.

Baltimore, Md, Jan. 25.-A one
armed tennis player, Clarence M
Charest of this city, is ranked sec
ond in the middle Atlantic section
by the United States National Lawn
Tennis association
Paired with William Sweeney,
Charest won the middle Atlantic
doubles championship last summer.
Charest has had hard climb
towards the top of the heap. In the
first place he has had great COM
petition to overcome in the middle
Atlantic section. Some classy ten
mis- stars are turned out in Balti-
more, Washington and the Virginia
cities
However, what's an arm to a
tennis player? They seldom use
two, anyhow" says Charest.
Tie one arm behind you, or at
your side, and you soon would get
used to it and play on just the
same. 1t might cause you to lose
your balance at first, but later you
would become accustomed to it.
Charest doesn't think he has ac-
cOmplished anything remarkable.
ZIG uoSSh l ASci uS 10 III tue led~oI
handicapped on the tennis courts,
through the loss of his arm.
Charest has a peculiar cross
court stroke and plays close to the
net. He is ranked as one of the
stars of the east in this respect.
The loss of an arm is really an
asset of the player in this particu-
lar, for he can swing his racket
from a greater distance, the right
arm being out of his way entirely
on the stroke.

PLENTY OF CASH
FOR BUFF If He
BATTLES WILDE
American Champion VIII Be Pass.
ing Up MOney-Maker if He
Declines.
BY FAIR PLAY.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argusl
New York, Jan. 30.-Johnny Buff
started across the pond with the
statement that he did not intend
to indulge in any important bouts
abroad but the writer received word
from London today that if the
double-barrelled champion doesn't
get into the ring with Jimmy Wilde
he will pass up a chance to make
an attractive sum of money The
British are great admirers of their
worlds fyweight champion and
since Buff holds the American title
a battle between the two would be
worth more than almost any fight
that could be arranged over there.
So unless Buff is afraid TO risk a
battle with Wilde the chances all
are that he will go into action after
a period of sight seeing.
Wilde's last battle was with Pete
Herman, who overweighed him by
many pounds. Herman put the
Briton away after a great fight.
Compared to Wilde. Buff has been
much more active and should have
all the advantage that comes of
practice under real conditions.
Americans will probably be wiIling
that the rugged little American
can beat the Briton in event of a
meeting being arranged.
Unless all signs fail Tommy Glib
bons will be the center of attack by
promoters in the near future
perhaps this week. The idea is
growing that Carpenter has no in
tentlon of coming to this country.
IN fact most fight fans are pretty
certain about it. AS soon as the
promoters feel the same way thev
VIII perk up and begin to poster
the st. Paul dream maker to fight
a lot of good men such as Tunney.
Wienert, Greb, Fulton, Brennan
and Dempsey. Right now the most
attractive bout that could be nut
on would be Gibbons and Tunney
with Dempsey standing in the back
ground.
Poor Dick Griffin, the game
clever and hard hitting Uttis
fighter from Fit Worth. Texas. has
an eye injury that is apt to cause
his retirement from the ring. New
york boxing authorities have re-
FUSED TO permit him to box be-
cause OF the condition of his eve
and thus Dick has lost two fights,
one against Jimmy Guida and the
0ther against Sammy Noble. Griffin
had the maklngs of a champion.

Control as a rule can be acquired
by diligent effort. In some cases,
lack of control is largely caused by
an improper. stride on the part of
the pitcher. Every now and then
one bumps into pitcher with a
world of stuff, with whom control is
an unknown quantity.
l have in mind Grover Lowder-
milk as a right handler, and Harry
Harper as left handler. l have
never worked back of pitcher who
had more stuff than Lowdermilk
Likewise l. have worked back OF
few wilder pitchers. Lowdermilk
has been in and out of the majors a
halfsdozen times. Managers knew
he had the stuff. and kept hoping
he would suddenly acquire control
He never did as big Lacquer.
Harry Harper has suffered
throughout his major league career
because of his inability to get the
ball over. Harper was constantly
changing his style. For a week he
would sidearm, then he would shift
to an overland deliver, then back
to Side-arm.
Last fall Harper looked better
than ever in his career. While not
Christy Mathewson on control, he
wasn't always in the hole. Harper
told me Higgins had told him to
decide on a style and stick to it
ignoring all suggestions. He says
that's the dope with him during the
rest of his career 1t will be in
teresting to see what luck he has in
1922.
