is said to range to either side and

at the plate he combines with a

"An can say is that If KanIn

would give US a real iTfield for

READING TURNS O'NEILL
BACK TO CRIFF'S CLUB

Jimmy O'Neill, who has been out
of baseball for two seasons, has been
turned back to the Washington club
by the Reading Internationals, with
which outfit it was expected he would
play this year.
President Griffith attempted to
dispose of O'NeiI yesterday to Connie
Mack, but was unsuccessful. Unless
some other club expresses a desire
to take the young infielder, he will
probably go to Tampa with the Griff-
men.
O'Neill was stricken with double
pneumonia in the fall of 1920 after
apparently cinching the shortstop's
berth with the Washington club. For
a year his life was in peril, but he

HORNSBY GOING

ter Apparently Not Affected
by SwelIed Head.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 20.-There is
nothing up-stage about Rogers
Hornsby, leading hitter in the Ma
tiOnal League for the last three
seasons and owner of the most home
runs poled in a year. Rog Is going
to join the rockies in training ut
the Cardinals camp at Bradentown,
Fla.
Whats the use Of wasting a, lot
of valuable time around here?" says
Hornsby. Perhaps I can help
some of the youngsters and at the
same time get a running start my
self"
There are other athletes who are
not as prominent as Hornsby, but
who multiply their own Importance.
Spring training with this type is
and they believe that
they are so good that a jog around
the park once will fit them for a
pennant race of 1874 games.
Hornsby does not agree with the
critics who have picked a second
division position for the Knotholers.
"If we don't get bowled over with
injuries as we did last season We'll
fool many Of the boys this year." Is
Rog's forecast.

Huh, that's new way of sending
the papers," smiled Bob. A letter
accompanying the document stated
that Marty would motor down from
Chicago where he has been spending
his winter.
Quinn has not encountered. a sim
gle argument this winter with his
Browns. Considering that practical
ly each member of the second
placers had a prosperous season in
1922 and naturally would expect a
big final0cial boost this is quite a
feather in Quinn's bonnet.
The only important counties to
hear from are Kenny Williams and
Hubert Pruett. AS Pruett In a let
ter last week said that he would be
on hand on the 25th Of the month,
Quinn does not consider the south
paw marvel a hold-out. Then Kenny
is steaming this way via motor from
Oregon and is due the latter part OF
the month.

Fohl's term Of two years has been
successful. This cannot be denied
although there were many fans last
summer who insisted upon applying
tar and feathers to Lee because the
Browns did not win the pennant.
However, that is past history and

present.
The present is the approaching

Quinn for the first squad follows:

The entire layout win not depart
from st. Louis. There will be a dele
cation from the Pacific coast which
will travel around the Gulf of Mex
leo territory. This squad will be
composed Of Austin, Billings, Thur
ston and Blaeholder.
Dixie Davis will go from his home
in North Carolina, while Ray Kolp,
Bill Bayne, Elam Vangilder and
others will take the same course.
Two Kentucky kids of promise
will bear watching. They are Dom
ovan, from jacksonville. KY, and
Payne, from Mayfield. These rock
les were highly touted by Quinn
last summer and he arranged the
deals on their records in Kentucky.
Frank Henry apparently is kick
ing over the traces this winter. At
least he has not accepted the terms
offered him by the Browns, and
Quinn is going ahead without al
lowing Henry to interrupt the
schedule. Henry had a wonderful
season down at Mobile, winning
twenty games and losing four, but
that does not make him a winning
pitcher in the American League

Brownie uniform.
