VETERAN AND RECRUIT MFZELD $
 ACE w THE HOLE FOR BEAN EATERS
Larry Kopf, Former New Britainite, Battling Against
 Ex-Harvard Captain For Shortstop Berth.

St. Petersburg, Fla, March 26.- The Boston Braves have the best col lection of infield recruits of any of the major league clubs thus far seen in action by Billy Evans, special sports writer for the New Britain Herald.
 While it is possible that none of the rookie infielders will break into the opening lineup, still there is chance that Manager Mitchell may make some changes in the infield situation as a result of the fine showing of sev- eral youngsters.
 The Boston infield of last year con- sisted of Boeckel at third. Kopf at short, Ford at second and Holke at first.
 The sale of Holke to Philadelphia means that first base is open. Stuffy McInnis will play that position, all though before the signing of the former American league star, Fred Henry had shown enough to make it appear as if he would be able to fill in most acceptaby.
 Ford at second is certainty. He is mighty fine ball player. None of the recruits has chance to get anywhere as far as second base is concerned.

DEMPSEY HAS 8 OFFERS
Manager Kearns Declares That Bouts Have Been Tentatively Arranged For Champ.

Chicago, March 26.-Jack Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey, stopping here on his way from New York to Los Angeles to confer with the heavy weight champion, said that three fights had been tentatively arranged for Dempsey and that he would dis cuss the offers with the champion.
 Offers have been received for fights with Louis Firpo, Jess Willard and Harry Wills, he said. Kearns added that there was also assurance from a promoter who wants to stage ths bouts that location has been found for at least one. He would not dis cuss the location, stating that a con- ference with Dempsey would be nec- essary before positive statements were made.
 Kearns said that Dempsey was anx- ious to fight and indicated that the champion might enter the ring short- ly after the Floyd Johnson and Jess Willard bout in New York on May 12. He said that plans were being con- sidered which would result in Demp- sey being seen in action twice dur ing the summer and fall. Kearns left for the coast last night.
New Britain herald., 1923-03-26

Kopf will have Arthur "Jocko' Conlon, former Harvard captain, as his rival. Conlon is fast and can field There is no doubt about that. If he can hit, the collegian is sure to make Kopf hustle. Padgett, secured from the Southern League, con play either short or second and looks very prom ising.
 Tony Boeckel at third is a mighty fine ball player when the veteran is right. All last year he was bothered with bad toe that greatly handi- capped his play. In the very first exhibition game this year he again hurt the weak toe.
 Should injuries force Boeckel out of the game at any time, he will have a most capable understudy il Smith, who played great ball for New Orleans last year.
 As matter of fact, Manager Mitchell could throw recruit in- field into the game that would come mighty close to measuring up to major league standards.
 Henry at first, Padgett at second, Conlon at short and Smith at third is a. secondary defense that makes it look as if Mitchell would not need to worry if any of his regulars were forced out of the lineup.

BOSTON BRAVES, 1922 HARD LUCK
 CHAMPS, ARE STRONGER THIS YEAR.
By Billy Evans


 St. Petersburg. Fla, March 26.- The Boston Braves will not finish las in the National League this year.
 The Braves at this time last yea were picked. for the first division, possible pennant contender, yet the, finished a bad last.
 In the spring of 1922, Manager Me Graw of the New York Giants. in sig ing up the opposition, expressed the opinion that the Braves would make trouble.
 am not making any predictions for the Braves for this s~c- other than that Fred Mitchell's club will not finish last
 The drop to the cellar position was an awful blow to Mitchell and his vet eran players. They are equally posi- tive that the club will not repeat as a tail-ender. In fact, some of the more optimistic are sure of fifth place, and hint at the possibility of first diyi- sion berth.
 One of the things that impressed me at the Braves training camp was Mitchell's board of strategy.
 lHt NslGTdll bICh IluuOlpIl, oiiS VI the smartest pitchers that ever threw a ball, looked after the recruit twirlers. He was ably assisted in his efforts by Carley Farrell, one of the greatest catches that ever donned a glove.
 Handing out pointers to the young infielders was Arthur Devlin, who, as member of the New York Giants, won the honor of being classed as one history of the game.
 As I watched the Braves at prac- tice, and in actual competition, it seemed impossible that a club with as much strength as Boston could possibly finish in last place. A talk with few of the veterans will readily explain the reverse suffered by the Braves in 1922.
 I talked it over with Hank Gowdy, who looks in wonderful shape, and who seems destined to do much of Boston's catching, rather than being shipped to the minors as Dame Rumor had it last winter.
 From the very beginning to the end of last season the Boston club was jinxed," explained Hank.
 Only two of the regular players escaped injury. At one time in Chi cago we had only 16 players in uni form, and two of those were in no condition to play. On 50 different occasions last year some regular was forced out of the game because of injuries. Billy Southworth and Tony Broeckel. two of our best men, were out of it a greater part of the year.
 "Remember how the New York American club was killed off in 1916 because of injuries, when it seemed the team had a chance for the pen nant? We'll, we had twice as much tough luck last year.
 No club could stand up under what we did last season, it was in- evitable that we sink to the depths of baseball, last place."
 All the other veterans said amen to Gowdys words.

Ernest Neipp, the unanimous choice of the members of the championship New Britain High school basketball team to captain the team next year, has just completed his first season on the team. Previous to this season he has had experience with several other teams around the city including the Pirates under the coaching of Char ley" Miller. when he went out for the team. There was just one position left on the team for the several new can didates. He made that position.
 Up to this year he played center but with that position taken care of by McCabe, a veteran, he was shifted to guard where he played like veteran. He will probably be shifted to center again next year where his height and experience will be needed.
 Last fall he was a substitute on the football team. He has signifed his intention to try out for the nine this spring.
