TYGE ROOKIE HOPES
To RIVAL BANB|NO

Detroit has a recruit first base
man. Floyd Caves Herman by name.
Floyd Caves is more than six feet
in height, weighs 200 pounds and is
IS years of age.
His first year in organized base
ball was 1921 when he played as 8
member OF the Edmonton team IN
the Western Canada league.
The lad was whale with the bat
and Detroit having him in tow. de-
cided to bring big Herman from his
happy home in Pasadena, Calf. TO
the sunny southland.
Herman came. With him arrived
half a. dozen bats. These bats weigh
As ounces apiece. That is more than
the bats of any player in the major
leagues weigh. Contrary TO popular
opinion George Herman Ruth swings
a bat weighing A ounces, not Sc. as
generally announced.
Herman is left handed. batting and
throwing. lie is loose and he likes
to make all plays with one hand. He
throws with a world OF speed. but
rarely with direction.
The strange part about Herman Is
that he can pound a baseball. With
a man like La Blue playing first base
for Detroit there is no chance OF
Herman breaking in at that partic-
ular spot this spring, but you are go
ing to hear about him some day. He
will ge a chance lin a. fast minor
league this year and be back TO greet
the boys next spring.
An attempt was made last season
to convert Herman into an outfield-
er. Herman would stand for no such
foolisIlness. "The outfield,a says
Herman, "is no place for man TO
play when the weather is warm. The
sun beats down on your back and
makes you dizzy. It's all right on
cool days or when the clouds are
up, but never when the sun is shi-

Hughey Jennings. who assists Nc

McGraw is certainly entitled to be
called the "go- gettei'' of baseball
Winning pennants is his speciality.
He Just naturally goes and gets them.
Quick to realize when his team is
slipping, McGraw doesn't wait until
the crash, rather he prepares for it.

cash, money never stops him when
he is satisfied some player will sup

MORR|SSEY AND.
CONLEY To END
TRAINING TODAY

A good sized delegation of boxing
fans congregated at the Coliseum
theater yesterday afternoon to watch
Conley and Morrissey condition
themselves for tomorrow evenings
bout
Billy Conley went through a siren
nous workout. He goes at his work
with a vengeance with the result that
he is somewhat rough on sparring
partners. Billy tries to hold back
with his right, but he occasionally
lets one get away and something
drops. He is one Of the hardest hit
ters who ever worked in a local ring,
including heavyweights. With an
other years experience Conley should
be dropping some good boys through
out the country. Right now he IS
trying to match q scrap with Tiger
Flowers at Juarez. Flowers is the
husky coiored boy who stopped Jim
Barry a few nights ago at Juarez,
Morrissey followed Conley's work
out yesterday at the Coliseum slam
ming the local boys around for six
rounds. Lee has every confidence he
can beat Conley in 10 rounds, but he
says win or lose he will give the fans
lots of fight.
Morrissey win finish training this
afternoon, but he stated last night
that he was ready without any fur
tiler work Il am all ready for the

to win over Conley, as / realize that
I will be in line for several good

I have been working out every day
and / am in good condition.
S Tomorrow evenings bout will be
Morrissey's 3Sth fight since April 10,
1921. out of the 3S bouts Morrissey
lost one close decision, was given
seven draws, won six by the knockout
route and he won a decisions. Not
a bad record for the past year Ind

Lee is fighting better today than at
any time in his career. When Lee
started in the boxing game at Salt
Lake City he was considered cham
pionship timber, and for long time
he was the popular idol of Utah box
ing fans. While Morrissey never
won any titles, he defeated some of
the leading contenders for crowns in
both the welter and lightweight di-

Morrissey will workout at the Coli
scum again this afternoon at 3

Joe Matringa, the New Orleans
featherweight, and Jimmy Douglas
will also work this afternoon at the
Coliseum Matranga worked three
rounds with Conley yesterday after

than he did when he started working

However, the three veterans in

SAN ANTONIO. Tex. Feb. 2s.-
Johnny McGraw. manager Of the

bones about telling his troubles with
Phil Douglas ana explains his reason
for placing Douglas and Barnes on
the market.
II am tired Of the bother occasion
ed me last season by Barnes and
Douglas" said the Little Napoleon.
They each won sixteen games with
a worlds champion club. What
would they have done with a second
division outfit-say the Phillies?
Their record does not entitle them
to much consideration from Presi-
dent Stoneham and me.
"Of course, / appreciate their good
work in the world series, but that
does not give them the right to
dictate to the New York club.
Because OF his irresponsible bent.
Douglas contract contains several
clauses relating to penalties in case
of misbehavior. He objects to this,
but those clauses will remain IL he
plays with the Giants. He caused
me more trouble last summer than
any other player with whom I ever
dealt.
"All the members OF my club were
rewarded financially for their good
work last year-Douglas and Barnes
in proportion to the work they did.
II they don't like It. am through
with them"

Or. Al Sharpe Offers Sugges-
ton for Improving offense
in Basketball.

DR.. AL Sharpe, one OF the fore
most athletic directors Of the col
legiate ranks and VINO for many
years developed teams at the VII
liam Penn Charter School. after
leaving the classrooms at Yale, has
a pretty good suggestion for scor-
ing in basketball. Sharpe was seen
at weightman Hall In the capacity
of referee for the first time here this
season.
The well.known tutor was asked
for an opinion Of the foul-goal
throwing. He is Of the opinion that
the present system Of developing a
man for this department Is abso-
lutely satisfactory. According to
Sharpe, who is at the head Of a
physical education school in Ithaca.
the team play OF an aggregation
would be increased II three points
were allowed for g. field goal. Doubt
less this would increase the scoring
as II was when the two-hand dribble
was permitted.
BY allowing another point for
field-goal scoring would help the
weaker teams. especially those not
depending so much on a consistent
foul-tosser. In recent years the
coaches of the college teams have
dwelt to such an extent on the de-
fensive that the scoring In the league
games has been noticeably low. No
doubt the personal foul ruling has
done a great deal toward shaving
the scores.
