HIGH SCHOOL BOYS LOOKING
FORWARD TOBASEBALL TEAM
Promising Batch of Can
didates Should Be Welded
Into Formidable Diamond
Aggregation.

With spring coming on High school
athletes and athletic followers are
turning their attention toward base
ball. 1t has not been announced Off
cially just when the season will open
but it is believed that the much look
ed forward to day will be some time
the last part of April or the early
part of April. Harold Weir will cap
tain the team this year.
Last year the season was not as
successful as it might hive been.
sued last year a small squad of can
didates reported for practice. The re-
suit was that little material was at
hand to mold a winning team togeth-
err. With several of the veterans and
regulars on the team ineligible all
thought of victory in most games was
out Of the question.
Hard Schedule Ahead
With q hard schedule facing the
Red and Gold team this year the best
possible material in the school should
be out for the team in order to go
through a successful season. Although
there are only four veterans leftsfrom
last year, several new men will try
out for the team. The most promis-
ing among them are Lefty" Huber
pitcher, who is ineligible at present,
'"Ous" O'Connell. catcher; Jimmy
Reynolds of basketball fame, pitcher
and infelder, and Dutch" Neipp, out
fielder.
Battery Candidates
The following men are candidates
for. the mound Huber, Reynolds,

Possibility That She May Be
Represented in Paris

Buenos Aires, March 2S.-There is
a strong probability that Argentina
will be represented at the interna-
tional Olympic games next year in
Paris. President Alvear in a recent
interview declared himself to be
much in favor OF the idea and has
promised his support.
The triumph attained by the Ar
gentine athletes at the South Amer
lean Olympic games held in Rio de
Janeiro last year has given an Edded
stimulus to the hopes of those who
think@that the Argentines may make
good showing at the Paris meeting.
At the Rio games the Argentina rep
resentatives scored - points, being
followed by the Chilians with S.. the
Brazilians with So and the Uruguay
ans with As. The best individual
showing of the Arsentines on that
occasion was put up by Enrique
Thompson, who covered the 40t
meters hurdles event in Sc 2-5 Sec
onds. The time put up by Thomp-
son is the best ever made by citi-
zen of Latin american country.
The 10 meters hurdles was covered
by Newbery, Argentine, in 1s Sec
onds, while another. Vallania. only 10
years old, recorded 1881 meters in
the high jump. The Argentine ath-
letes won the South American cham
pionship in tennis, fencing and horse
manship.
The attendance of the Argentines at
Paris would be controlled by the Ar
gentine Sporting federation, which IL

pic games. Argentina probably would
be represented in football, athletics
tennis, fencing. shooting and possibly
rowing, swimming and boxing.

Minor Contests.

New York, March 2S.-Character-
izing its action as a declaration Of war
against ring champions who persist in
ignoring the challenges of logical con-
tenders for their titles, the New York
state Athletic Commission today
adopted ruling compelling pugilistic
kings to go through with challenge
matches before taking part in any
other bouts in this state. The text OF
the ruling which came as a virtual
ultimatum to a number of champions
who have failed to recognize chal-
lenges for their honors, follows:
whenever boxer holding q
championship has, been challenged
and the challenge sustained by the re-
quired forfeit ($25O6) filed with this
commission. such Holder Of the cham

BRANCH RICKEY SHOWS HE is STRONG FOR
COLLEGE PLAYERS; HAS SOME GOOD ONES .
by BILLY Evans

Bradentown, Fla, March as
Manager Branch Hickey of the st.
Louis Cardinals Is strong for col
iegians.
The man who discovered George
eisier. helped develop him as coach
at University of Michigan, and then
Brought him to the st. Louis
Browns. likes the high-brow athletes.
q 1t Is a rather interesting fact that
the three most promising recruits on
the Cardinal team are collegians.
One of the4trio looks ready to step
night In and play big league ball, the
other two are not very far away.
:, Roscoe Holm, former Iowa State
star. Is one of the best looking re-
cruits / have seen In long time.
Holm handles himself like an ex-
pefienced ball player. He has an
awkward, yet easy style, that re
sninds you something Of Hans Wag-
ner. At the bat he steps into the
ball beautifully and should be able to
hit.
y Understudy to Lavan
)! Holm is certain to be retained by
Hickey as understudy to Lavan and
will surely keep the doctor stepping
to keep him in the background.
:. Howard Friegau of Ohio Wes-
leyan, the alma mater Of Manager
hickey, is another capable per-
tDrmer. Friegau is being used in the
uutheld. 1t is said that he made a
favorable impression on Manager
hickey as a sophomore at Wesleyan
and the Cardinal manager immedi-
sicily tied him up to report on grad
uation.
!. The other members of the "Rah"
sRah" trio is Eddie Dyer of Rice In
stitute, Texas. In college circles Dyer
was whale of pitcher. When not
pitching he played the outtield be-
cause of his batting and speed.
Hickey is of the opinion that Rice
has too much promise to be merely
used as a pitcher. say every fourth,
day. He has notified the Texan that
he is to play the outfield exclusively.
Holm Looks Like Star
The Cardinal manager is very
keen for his trio of college stars and
he is positive each will make good
within the next two years. am OF
the opinion that he regards Holm as
ready to go. The Iowan looked that
way to me. In case injury or illness
overtakes Lavan, Holm will play
the position.
1 watched the collegians play
against the Boston Braves in an ex-
htbition game. Holm and Dyer par
ticulariy impressed me, probably be-
cause they had more to do than
Friegau.
q In the Boston game. which the
Cardinals won, to 8, Dyer saved
the game by a diving catch that
would have done credit to Speaker.
1t took baseball instinct, more than a
college education, to make the play.
It required courage and quick think
ing. AS Dyer came up with the ball
Manager Hickey, on the st. Louis
bench, fairly shouted:
That fellow is a sure enough big
Lacquer. You can't keep that kind of
spirit down."
l. 1t certainly looks as If Hickey had
picked UP three future stars in
Holm, Dyer and Friegau.

70 Players Are
Training

Bradentown, Fla. March %.
Perhaps the biggest aggrega-
ton of ball players ever gather
ed at one training league camp
is doing daily stunts at this re-
sort.
Manager Hickey and some
30 of his athletes, representing
the st. Louis Cardinals, are on
the job. The other 80 are
under contract to the Syracuse
club of the International league,
which. it is understood, is con-
trolled by the owners of the st..
Louis Nationls.
No doubt Manager Hickey ar
ranged the joint training trip. so
that he could look over both
teams, with a hope that the
Syracuse club might uncover
some recruit worthy of big
league consideration.
Incidentally In this way
Hickey can determine the play
crs on the Syracuse club who
lack the necessary ability to
maintain the International
league standard. In order TO
give Syracuse a strong team
The Cardinal players just shy TO

Never have so many ball
players been on one iield Mt

on some college athletic ield.
However, Hickey seemed to de-
light in going from one squad 10

AAANLISH WANTED TO Be A PLUMBER
BUT BECAME BIG Lacquer INSTEAD

Augusta, Ga, March 2s.--Learnins
the piumbing trade was once the fond
est desire OF Henry Manush, crack re-
cruit OF the Detroit Tigers. And II
wasn't over couple Of years ago
that Henry cherished such an ambi-
ton. - w. a..
Henry Manush is the youngest
brother OF the Manush family, which
gave something like five boys to pro-
fessional baseball. ,re.
While attending a military school
at Pulaski. Tenn, Henry suddenly de-
cided that learning the plumbing trade
was far more profitable than absorb
ing the advantages of a higher edu-
cation. ..
Packing his grip he departed for
Burlington, Ia, where one OF his old
er brothers was located. A year at
the plumbing trade caused Manush to
change his viewpoint. Always good
bali player, he decided that cavorting
on the. diamond was far softer than
juggling pipes and radiators.
We next see him playing semi-pro-
fessional ball at Omaha, Neb. His
sandlot cIouting early won the atten-
ton OF the owners Of the Western lea
que club in that city. He was signed
to contract for 1922.
, All he did in his first year of pro-
fessional baseball was to bat 1915
for Omaha, making 246 hits. of which
a were doubles. 20 triples and 20
home runs. That was enough for the
Detroit management, always in the
field for hard-hitting outfielders.
The moment Cobb saw Manush in
action he realized the rookie could
hit. He is one of the few recruits
who have not received suggestion
from the Tiger leader as to how they
might improve their batting. He didn't

appear to have fault. Realizing
Manush had natural swing. Ty de-
cided to leave we'll enough alone.
In fielding Cobb has already made
q number Of changes that have help
ed the big fellow in his judgment Of
distance and his manner Of handling
the ball.
Likewise, Cobb has changed his
style Of running 50 that Manush IL
using his speed to much better ad-
vantage. - . ..
IN getting Manush the Tigers are
living up to their reputation Of al
