Victim, perhaps Of too much pub

fall has been dropped by the New

in the International league.
The ivory sorters at the New Or
leans camp said "Killy" couldn't get
them below his knees and he couldn't
time his swing. He made a game
effort but he was just a novice on
the diamond Il might have been
that his faults were accentuated be-
cause too much was expected Of him.

The same misfortune may follow
him to his minor league berth, if

finally a pulled knee that may end
his own active baseball career.
Where the Indians finish in the

Burns. who left the club by trades,
older than the worlds champions of
1920.
Much depends on his pitchers this
season. Covelskie, Bagby and Mails

Four promising young pitchers
have been picked up and they may

ATHLETICS CAMP
IN MEXICAN ZONE
OF 1000 Inhabitants at Eagle
Pass About 5000 Are
Mexicans.

EAGLE PASS. Tex, March IS
In filming the 1922 Athletic train
ing story, the two points that rear
up above all others are the new play
ers and locale. Speaking Of the lat
ter first, no team ever chose a train
ing base with such a foreign stage
setting.
Eagle Pass. the gateway TO Mex
leo. is really Mexico. OF its 1000
inhabitants, 5000 are Mexicans.
Signs in Spanish greet the eye every
where 1t is difficult to find a clerk
in a store able to speak English.
The park is situated two miles or
so from the city IN a barren waste
at the footof hills. A few huts Of
Mexicans nearby. Nothing else but
a panorama Of chapparal, cactus and
desert.
The townspeople are courteous and
progressive and the hotel accOmmo-
dations above the average by far.
The only drawback so far has been
ever. recurring mood OF the wind to
cut up high jinks as soon as the ball
.tossers took the field. A wind here
means something.
1t means that a gale Of dust blows
back and forth in whirlpools so as
TO both annoy the spectator and
blind the player. So two days after
playing here, one had the novelty Of
seeing A major league team In train
ing with the players wearing dust
proof goggles. Aside froh his regu-
lars Mack brought 20 recruits south.
Nevertheless, Manager Mack does
not regret coming here and there
have been enough satisfactory days
to enable the Athletic players to get
into condition.

Babe Ruth has made a lot Of

Whether or not Roush reports the

The Reds win open the season
with Pat Duncan IN left, George

In addition Moran has two promising
youngsters IN George Harper and

Oklahoma City club for a fancy
