Eight miles day over the hilly

Crowds assemble daily to watch

o'clock. takes his eight miles on the
hilly roads, and after a shower bath
and an hour under the hands of his
rubber, rests until 3 o'clock in the
afternoon. He then punches the bag
with his boxing partner. Harry Drake

BENTLEY PLEAsES McGRAW,

NEW YORK. March 27-Complete
satisfaction with Jack Bentley, the
S65.000 hold-out purchased by the
New York Giants from Baltimore
was voiced today by Manager Nc
Graw, commenting on the scrutiny
given the recruit at his first work out
at San Antonio
now has only seventeen more to lose
to be at his normal weight of 200.
McGraw said he would not put Bent
ley at first base, but would keep him
for his southpaw pitching and per-
haps use him as pinch hitter.

Practically every one of note in
pugilism wanted the chance at Firpo.
Just name your own selections and
they'll be right. But Rickard would
have none OF them. He wants to
shape up Luis for a Dempsey battle,
which will draw more dollars than
most of US have marks. And, of
course, If Firpo can knock a hulking
boy like Lodge for a row Of dreams
1t will look better
Nothing doing as Yet in the matter

The trouble with that projected
Wills-R -Renault fight in Winnipeg, ac-
cording to story going the rounds
today, is the Indifference displayed by
Wills and his manager. Paddy Mullins
You'd think that money didn't mean
as much to Wills as a plate Of pork
chops And as for talk, Mullins makes
the sphinx look like a phonograph.
The up and up on this is doped out
as follows: Wills and Dempsey have
an agreement to tight this summer,
and it's ironclad. with Tex Rickard as
guarantor. Wills, the dope is, will do
nothing that might tend to injure his
reputation, such as being outshaded
by some clever opponent before the

4, few dependable pitchers with which
| to begin the championship campaign
| must have been forcibly impressed
upon him yesterday. Slim McGrew,
started against the Cards in his
first exhibition trial Of the season
| and no plainly demonstrated that he
is not quite fit for big league work,
In the first inning he yielded thre9
runs, two bases on balls, followed
by Rogers Hornsby's four-ba4se clout
that would have been a homer in
any park doing the damage.
Slim gave UP three more hits ar d
increased his pass total to four dur
Ing the remainder of his three-inning
stay on the hill. He also famed a
trio Of batterS. but apparently had
little on the ball.
Finally Get to Russell
Allen Russell, who succeeded Nc
Grew, was nicked for tally in tha
fourth, a. single, sacrifice and double
producing II, then breezed along bril-
liantly until the eighth when, bingo!
came five hits. with a hit batter
and an error by the pitcher tossed
in for good measure.
Six runs were tailed and Dad
Hankins. the Tampa boy, who fn-
ished the hectic session, was reach ed
for a double that boosted the Cards
count before the rampage ended.
Russell seemingly is not yet strong
enough for use other than aS re-
lief hurler for two or three innings.
He had everything needed TO battle
the opposition for three sessions and
then lost all his cunning.
Rice's triple and Goslin's single
gave the Griffs a fair start in the
first inning against Bill Sherdel,
left-hander, and when they combed

for pair Of triples, one OF them Red
