He can throw from any angle and
he seems to bat well. How much he
will bat when the battle is on is a
matter of conjecture. Offhand, as
values go. Comiskey got something for
his money. judging by the first look
at young man who never before

The owners of the San Francisco

declined to part with Kamm until they
were satisfied he was good hall
player and that they had something
TO sell. That was thrifty enterprise.

The Sox have capable outfield.

Seguin. Ten. March 27.-East-
ward from San Antonio. in the cot
ton lands of Texas. the Chicago
Americans have found good training
camp at Seguin. And the genial Kid
Gleason. who grows more and more
like Grimal6i rs lie takes on years
with easy grace. and whose eyes
twinkle merrily. observed TO the
writer today that he has pretty
good ball club. And so he has.
Ernie johnson. who is presumed
10 ShortStop regularly. has inflamms-
tion of the holdout type. In the
course Of events he will get over it.
When he does he will find that on
one side of him he has third-base-
man who is the nearest thing TO per
lection that has broken into baseball
since the days of another California
player. now nameless in a baseball
way.
On the other side of him there is
one OF the Smartest and best ball
players of all years at second base.
II johnson could live up to the stand
ard of his port anchor and his star
board anchor. Chicago would have
one Of the most marvellous infields of
the year. because Shelly could be let
go as he stands. He has men who
Surpass him in adroitness. though
none who is his superior in effort
10 succeed.
Calls Eamm q Miracle.
Cleveland has started great
third-baseman in Lutzke for the sea
son of 1929, but Chicago has cap
tured a miracle. What Kamm may
DO for the Sox before the year is
over the fans of Chicago will have
TO wait and discover for themselves.
What he can do, he has shown in
practice games in Texas and perhaps
in no games has he made the demon
stratiOn more conclusively than
against the Giants.
If mid-season finds him as much
better as it finds most ball players
he should have the throngs of eight
cities standing on their baseball
craniums in delirium of excitement
over display of ability on the ball
field.
1t seems almost impossible to go
wrong in predicting wonderful year
and more wonderful years for this

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
U. AND COLLEGE BODY
SHOULD SETTLE FUSS
Keeps Paddock Ont Of
Competition and Creates
Ugly Stories.
BY WALTER CAMP.

Copyright, by The San Antonio Light.
New York. March 2s.-The contro-
versy between the Intercollegiate
Athletic Association and the Univer-
sity of Southern California ought
surely to be settled definitely at
once in the real interests of sport.
The intercollegiate association has
tabled the application for membership
of the University of Southern Cali
fornia. That fact has disappointed
thousands of eastern sport lovers who
hoped TO see Charley Paddock perform
of the eastern college athletes this
spring. Also it has not conducted
TO the popularity OF the association
in Southern California.
IL the association had adequate
grounds for its action, based on the
scholastic requirements of the Pacific
Coast university. it should be definite
ly known. In that event, the action
could be fully sustained by every
lover and supporter of amateur sport
But there are ugly stories going
the rounds out on the coast that the
action was taken because of the
superiority of coast athletes as prev
iously demonstrated by their success
in the intercollegiate. II is charged
in these stories that the intercol-
legiate association is dominated by
eastern influences TO such an extent
that no further coast teams are
wanted to come on TO probable vic
tory.
Well. every association has TO put
up with such statements. but such
statements ought to be based on posi-
tive evidence and the association
ought to be on firm ground in meet
ing them. Otherwise. the matter will
develop into such suspicion and dis
satisfaction that it will interfere with
the real interest of intercollegiate.

The play Of Glcnna Collett re-
Gently in the South has demonstrated
to all who have seen this young
golfer perform that she is the most
promising of our women golfers to-
day. She has skill and youth: she
gets plenty Of distance with her shots
and, while it is contended, and fairly.
that her putting is not up 10 the
standard of the rest Of her game. her
possibilities ere by far the greatest of
any of our coming players. 1t makes
little difference at the present moment
whether she wins tournaments or not.
With the assets of ability to get dis

with her iron shots and plenty of
competitive spirit, she certainly should
go far and should be our best reliance
