Pitchers Toss Them Over Lightly and
Twelve Safeties Are Made in
Three Innings.
(Hy cHAs. A. REINHART)

camp of the Louisville Colonies. Man
ager Mccarthy divided his squad into
two teams. he acting as pilot of the
regulars while Bill Meyer was in
charge OF the Yannigans. The regu-
lars won by the score of to 8. Only
three innings were played and each
side was allowed six outs. Seven hits
were garnered of the Yannigan pitch
ers while five were made off the reg
uIars. Errors on both sides We're re-
sponsible for a majority of the scores.
The Regulars and the Yannigans are
scheduled TO go the full route Satur-
day afternoon in preparation for the
three game series with the Brooklyn
Dodgers which starts Sunday at Max
ent Park.
Mccarthy stated today that his ath-
Ietes were progressing nicely in their
work and should be in fairly good
shape for the more advanced Dodgers
who have been down at Jacksonville
for some time. One or two of the
hur1ers among them Ernie Koob and
Stanley King are suffering with sore
arms Mccarthy gave his hurlers
few moments of serious talk before
today's practice, informing them TO
make no secret of-any wing ailments
but to come to him Immediately in
order that the trouble might be re-
paired without loss Of time and the
sore members be ready for duty as
soon as possible.
Here's how the two teams lined UP
for todays encounter:
Regulars. Kirke, first base; Bethel
second base; Ballenger, shortstop;
hoe off
Lamb. center field; Combs, right field;
Francis, catcher Holley and Horst
man, pitchers.
Yannigans: Meyer first base; Hol-
den, second base: Gaffney, shortstop;
Stanley, third base; EsteN, left field;
Jones, center field; Monk, right field;
Deighan catcher; Deberry and Dean,
pitchers.
The pitchers merely lobbed them
over and as a result the outfielders
received plenty Of exercise, but at
that the batters did not connect with
the old pill as often as could be
wished.
The hurlers, while not working hard
nor endeavoring to show anything of
their real ability, managed to keep q
scarcity OF safeties in the foreground.
lnTgN
in the first inning by the Yannigans,
ard this resulted in three runs. The
big fellow from Benton, KY, was
trifle wild, however, which was prob
ably due to nervousness as II was his
first appearance as a professional ball
player. This lad has world of speed.
oscar Horstman followed Holley and
allowed two hits and two runs the
next two frames. Deberry went the
first two frames for the Yannigans,
allowing seven hits and six runs. Dean
experienced little trouble in banking
the opponents in the third inning.
the one redeeming feature OF the
three inning workout was a terrific
drive by Piggy Stanley over the left
center field fence, scoring runner
ahead of him in the opening frame for
the Yannigans. Earle Combs, who
cavorted in right field for the Regu-
lars, fielded in a. brilliant manner. He
demonstrated that he has a wonder
full arm by throwing out runner at
the home plane on a long drive to his
territory and tossing out another run
ner at first base on a hit. At bat he
did not look so good against waist
balls. AS soon as he learns to hit
prove his hitting. He Is one of the
hardest workers in camp and is MAX
ing every effort to make good. The
two shortstops. Tommy Gaffney and
Pelham Ballenger featured with
number of fine stops of hard hit
grounders that are anything but easy
TO handle in the sandy going. A run
ming catch by Lyman Lamb in center
4. Fryl.,
former Brownie is rounding to his best
shape and looks better and better
every day Lamb and Gaffney are
considered regulars and neither has
any chance of being discarded. Lamb
will act as utility outfielder during the
coming season while Gaffney will sub
on the infield.
The Colonies presented their stone-
wall inner works today and this COM
bination worked to perfection. Joe
Schepner. who arrived last night took
his regular post at third base and per-
formed in his usual peppery manner.
"Schep" declares he is in fine ply
steal trim as one of his regular train
ing stunts to keep in condition dur
ing the winter was to walk seven
hours daily through the streets and
over the mis- IN MS nofile boWn, tllIS-
burg. He says he missed few days
throughout the OFF season.
Many drives were made over the
fences in batting practice today. Lamb.
Schepner and Ellis were each credited
with two HOSTS over the ieft-center
field fence. Bethel also came through
with one over the same wall. These
drives are not OF the fluke variety
for the outfield fence is quite a dis
lance from the home plate. They
would be good for circuit clout in
any American Association park.
