CINCINNATI TO
HAVE UNUSUAL
INNER DEFENSE
Fans Viii Watch All
Coast Steers With
Interest.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus

(COpyr1ght, ISZZ, Dy Inc Argus
New York, Feb. 2S.-Don't over
look the unusual infield that Gin
| cinnati will put on the diamond for
| 1922. Its nearly an all Pacific coast
outfit. All that is needed to make
! it all California is the first base
man, but it doesn't appear likely
| that Daubert will be denoted this
! season. He isn't quite as sure of
I his legs as he was some three or
| four years ago but they stand bet
| ter chance to carry him through
than the legs Of any busher likely
| to replace him.
Bohne at second base is a Pacific
coast product When he came east
it was said that he wouldn't make
good but his record for 1921 will
compare quite favorably with that
of some other ball players who
have tried the big circuit for the
first time. He fielded with some
skill and batted with some assur-
ance.
Caveney. who plays short for Gin
cinnati this year, is a product Of
San Francisco He was member
of the einfield of the Seals in 1921
and fans out en- the coast thought
it was one of the most likely infields
that the Pacific ever had. He has
been up to the major league dining
table before but did not last long.
This time he expects to see it
through right down to the finger
bowls.
Pinelli, who will play third base
for Cincinnati, played third base
for Oakland, Calf, in 1921. Detroit
had Pinelli once and let him go to
Oakland because he had a red
temper and his fiery nature mixed
him too much with ground hits. He
couldn't get himself separated in
time to throw the runner out.
Pinelli says he is going to stick if
he has to buy some furniture glue
to fasten him to the Reds diamond.
May Be First Division.
If his infieId is as fast all around
as Bohne proved to be as an indi
vidual in 1921, the Reds may get
into the first division with Scott
helping them out in the pitchers
pen and Burns certainly maintain
ing the quality of their outfieId
Again it is asserted that Roush will
AOL DC pei l1LiACA " Ii jill
Cincinnati. In other words he
must again contract with the Reds
or not play ball. If both Burns and
Roush were in the same outfeld,
Cincinnati would have two players
working side by side who couldn't
be equalled by any other team in
the National league. Even Pitts
burgh wouldn't match up to them.
With the other troubles which
have beset them the Yankees do not
wish to begin the season with any
holdouts and it is not likely they
will. Miller Higgins will visit his
players in person to talk over the
question of differences of salary
and when he has finished he is con-
fident that he will have everybody
in line for the beginning of the sea-
SON.
The task of winning champion
ship is not going to be so easy in the
American league this year that any
club can figure it a runaway affair
That little matter will be demon
strated more and more clearly as
time begins to travel after April l.

BY ]. l.. HUGHES.

Packey Mcfarland, the master
boxer in his time, will be the third
man in the ring at the Davenport
Coliseum Friday night, when Nor
RE Schlaifer OF Omaha and Johnny
Griffiths of Akron meet for 10
rounds or less.
The referee question was settled
late yesterday afternoon when word
came from Mcfarland that he
would be here. He had already
been approved by both sides of the
coming argument and was the
choice Of the legion officials. Ed ".
Smith was also considered.
1t will be recalled Packey offici
ated last spring when Al Van Ryan
and frankie Welch stepped 10
rounds at the Coliseum before a
record crowd. McFarland's work
on that occasion was so well liked
by everyone that the legion consid-
cred it a good move to bring him
here Friday, when another huge
crowd is anticipated. Packey would
be seen oftener as referee here
but his business interests in Joliet
do not give him the opportunity to
get away when wanted.

on 4Mile Relay
Team.
BY WALTER CAMP.

Pennsylvania will devote a lot of
attention to the training of her mile
runners this spring. The athletic
authorities have finally decided on
the character of the relay team they
will send to compete against Oxford
and Cambridge, April 8, and fix on
the four mile relay as Offering their
best opportunity. The string of
mile runners Captain Bowen will
lead across the water probably will
consist OF himself, Meredith, Holden,
Head and Mclean.
Great things are being predicted
for w. A Comins, the new fresh
man Splinter from Yale, as a result
Of the showing he made at the re-
cent New York Athletic club indoor
games. Comins defeated a lot Of
high class competitors in Wefers,
McAllister and SchoIe. At prep
school Comins started as a broad
jumper but watch him now that he
has gone in for the sprints. He has
a great drive and gets his stride
quickly off the mark.

British Golfers Welcome.

The decision of Cyril Tolley and
Roger Wethered, the British anna
teur golfers to compete this year in
the United States amateur cham
pionship to be held at Brookline,
Mass, is welcome news Tolley, it
will be remembered is the man who
finally put Bob Gardner out of the
British amateur tournament in the
final round in 1920 in a match which
went to the 37th green before it was
decided. And Gardner was play
ing real golf when he made his
British invasion that year. Later
that same year Tolley came to the
United States and played in our
amateur championship held at the
Engineers club course on Long is
land and was soundly beaten. When
the American golfers went over 10
Great Britain last summer, how
ever, Tolley was the man who &C
counted for Jesse Guilford in the
amateur championship, in a match
which the Englishman won, two up
and one to play. He also defeated
Chick Evans n the international
team match, four up and three to
play. The Brookline course will
suit Tolley's golfing style much bet
ter than did the Engineers course
in 1920.

that he had charged tho customer

when he locked up the store he pa,
