RED SOX GRADUALLY
INCREASING LENGTH
OF THEIR WORKOUTS
Outfielder Williams Re.
ports and Fred Clarke
Pays a Call.

Practice sessions for the Boston
Red Sox, in training here, are gradu-
ally lengthening. Most of the young.
sters in the advance guard which has
been at work for a week began drift
ing out to League Park before II
o'clock Saturday. They were sched-
uled to stay until almost 3. Fridays
wor kout lasted well past 2:3O, fully
an hour longer than the practices of
the early part of the week.
Among the Sox who took their
daily workout Saturday was one new
face, Denny Williams, the tiny out
fielder from tIobile. Williams came
in late Friday night. Williams,
though small, made big hit with the
folks at Mobile. He should not be
confused with Rhino Williams, for
merly of Fort Worth, who also QUE
fielded for Mobile.
Infielder Jim Geygan didn't take
fielding practice with the Sox Friday
because of sore back, but his all
ment didn't prevent him from working
out and taking a few turns at bat.
Pat Hardgrove practiced at first
base instead of third base for two rea-
sOns-he is a first-sacker Of expert
ence as well as a third-baseman, and
he has sore throwing arm. The
soreness is not severe, however. and
Hardgrove was able to loop them to
second and the plate without diff
Guilty, although a whip from third
across the infield to first was tenn
pOrarily beyond him.
Some of the regular pitchers tossed
the up to the batters, among them
Ferguson. The catchers also appeared
for the first time in mask and pro-
tector and the hackstop was removed.
Lefty Leifield got the four twirlers
from the last year squad into one
bunch-Emke, Murray. Fullerton and
Fergu~Jn-and chased them around
with long fungo flies.
Among the visitors to the Sox camp
today was Fred Clarke, the famous
ex-Pirate, who ranks as one of the
greatest players who ever donned
uniform. Clarke is travelling around
all the training camps in the inter-
ests of sporting goods supply house.
Gap" Leidy, who was recently en-
gagged as umpire-in-chief for the East
Texas League, probably will sharpen
his eye on the stuff the Boston and
San Antonio pitchers show in the ex-
hibition series which will begin next
Saturday.

that difficulty will be encountered in

probably will be in the United States.
The Firpo-Spalla bout is still to be

little hope of recouping their losses
in that meeting. BuenOs Aires fight
fans are demonstrating that they are
strong on shouting but weak on pay
