suggested in one Of my early ar
ticles that the best thing for be-
ginner to do in the matter of select
ing clubs was to go about It gradual
ly and not stock up too much at
first. suggested only four or five
clubs to begin with, and am sure
that this will suffice for at least a
month or two-or for the first doz-
en- or more games.
A driver. q midiron, q putter and
a mashie are all that any one new
at the game can possibly need, be-
cause he will not know how to use
even these clubs. A bag full of clubs
of all sorts and sizes is only adding
more worry and complication to the
game.

Moran apparently Is shooting the
roll on Cavenny, Broughton from
Oakland at a cost of $4,000 and a
few ball players and Pinelli who
is supposed to be total stranger
to the vagaries of major league
pitching. Pinelli was up before
with the Tigers and White Sox and
went right back again. He couldn't
hit a lick then. but perhaps he has
reformed. At any rate Moran Is
SET to start him at third base.
Cavenny is by odds the better
prospect although he. too, was tried
and found wanting before.
The rest OF the infield gets by
nicely with Sam Bohne at second
and Daubert at first. The vener-
able Jake, however, finds that his
legs are not as young as his ambi-
ton; therefore Louis Fonseca is like
ly to do lot Of first basing for
the Reds this season.
The outfield is the soundest
cog In the machine. Hermann
made a mess of his infieId when
he traded Groh to the Giants,
but strengthened his outfield inn
measurably when ne secured
George Burns in return. Pat
Duncan and ROusch, when he
signs, will fiIl the remaining
position with "Greasy" Neale Just
sticking around. II is strong
combination, extensively and de-
fensively. Burns Is a great man
for any ball club and will he to
his dying day.
Ivy Wingo and Bubbles" Har-
graves will do the backstopping and
that part is all right, unless Ivy
and Bubbles come a cropper. A
local sen1i-pro is the third and only
catcher in the camp. Bad business.

pitchers In 1919. but nearly all have

last season but he is handicapped
by an attempt to finish his college
course down here. He has been
working out informally with the team
and should be in condition by the
second week Of the season.
The Boston trade sent John Scott,
the big right-hander, to the Reds
and much Is expected of him.
John Couch from San Francisco,
Jack Gillespie from the Western

from Calgary, are fair enough

Britain Opposes Delay

LONDON. Feb. 30 (By The Associated
Press Great Britain will agree to no
postponement of the Genoa Economic
Conference unless the request for such
postponement emanates from Rome. it
was autho ri ia atively declared here to-
day. The French Amba ssador, it is un-
derstood. was so Informed last evening
by Lord Curzon, the Foreign Secretary,
during their discussion Of the French
memorandum urging postponement Of
the conference.
Belief was expressed in well-informed
American quarters to-day that tho hold
ing Of the conference on the intended
date was becoming increasingly doubt
full owing to the Italian domest polit-
ical situation. Until an intimation was
given that this situation was such as
to preclude the holding of the confer
ence, however, the nations which are
expected to participate have no choice
but to await developments.

Denial by Hughes,
Who Sees President
London Adviccs Assert
Britain Will Not Agree
10 Any Postponcmcnl

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The atti-
tude Of France toward the proposed
economic and financial conference at
Genoa next month has resulted in fur
ther postponing the decision Of this
government on the invitation to par
ticipate, it was learned to-day in Off
cial circles. According to an announce
ment at the White House last Tuesday
Americas reply to the invitation,
which was received some weeks ago
from the Premier of Italy, was to have
been made public to-day.
The request of Premier Poincare Of
France that the conference be post
pored at least three months, so that
more careful advance preparations
could be made, it was understood, was
received here during the day. This
caused a furry in diplomatic circles,
and at first it was said the text of Pre-
public.
Later the State Department denied
that the proposal had been received.
Harding and Hughes Confer
Secretary Hughes had a lengthy corr
ference with President Harding after
the regular Cabinet meeting, and it
was understood the question of the
economic conference was discussed. al
though no official statement was issued
regarding their conversation.
The President was unable TO meet
representatives of the press this after
noon, as he was presenting the treaties
arising from the Conference on the
Limitation Of Armament before the
Senate. Secretary Hughes declined to
meet the correspondents after his con-
ference with President Harding, and
the department refused information on
the question of Premier Poincar IS
message.
Belief prevailed in official quarters
TO day that the action OF the French
Premier had forcstalled any reply from
this country to Italy's invitation. II
was said that a conference with France
absent would be virtually no confer
ence. ard in some circles the belief was
expressed that there would be no ac-
tion taken on the invitation of Italy at
this time
