EARL SHELLY TO
BE EARLY "
BIRD
OuuO

Earl Shelly, according to word
from Chicago, will be among the
first group Of athletes who will
Journey South for the White Sox.
The owner Of the White Sox has
had word of a cheering character
from his tall, brawny first base
man. who says he is in tip top con.
dition for what he believes will be
his best season on the diamond.
Shelly has been asked to report
early at the training camp in
Winter Haven, not because he needs
the workout as much as some of
his fellow toilers on the diamond
who have followed sedentary &C.
equations all winter but because
Shelly is expected to be one OF, the
main cogs in the Man for building
a pennant contender on the south
side. -
When the blond first sacker. went
to the Sox from Salt Lake City In
1921 along with Ernie Johnson,
now with the Yankees, and Eddie
Muligan, there was some doubt
whether the giant from the North.
west country would be able to
hold his own along with younger
and faster players.
Sheely was not an old man by
any means when he first reported
he Is now only twenty -eight-but
an old injury to his left ankle,
which left the shinbone crooked,
made him seem q bit clumsy in
reaching first base.

DOB|E To TALK
FOOTBALL At
ILLINOIS

Gil Dobie, coach Of the Cornell
football team, has accepted an in
vitation Of Bob Zuppke, coach Of
the University Of Illinois eleven, to
return to Urbana and lecture TO
the students of the 1924 summer
course for coaches.
Dobie made his first appearance
at Illinois last summer and gave a
course in football independent If
the one given by Coach Zuppke.
The class schedules were arranged
without conflicts and most of the
42O students were enrolled in both
courses. incidentally, this was the
largest, number of students that
ever attended q similar course at
the University of Illinois or any
where else. ...-
Under the coaching Of zuppke
last fall the Illinois eleven won all
Of its eight games. These included
five over leading teams in the
Western Conference and one over
the University of Nebraska eleven,
which conquered the powerful No.
tire Dame team.
Cornell finished it's third season
undefeated under Dobie's direction
last year. While a coach at the
University Of Washington, none of
Dobie's teams suffered O defeat
In nine years.

The. practice session yesterday
was shortened somewhat and was
started a half hour earlier than
hitherto. The athletes left the
field a few minutes after IL o'clock,
and were at the hotel by noon.
Work started at $50 o'clock and
probably will continue that way
since the weather, has warmed uR
many degrees.
There is little probability that
Chick Gagnon will be able to get
into the Saturday game. His arm
was little improved yesterday. he
said, although the pain is diSap-
bearing gradually. He is still un-
able to straighten the elbow joint
and what throwing he attempts is
done with the shoulder and body.
Red Hargrave will be pressed into
service at third base in the first
gaIne and Ossie Bluege will play
short, Eddie Bean will play second
and Shirley first.
The centerfield position depends
upon the condition Of Lance Rich
bourg'S foot. He will play there
e Trainer Mike Martin is satisfied
It will work no further injury to
the member, but in all probability
Goose Goslin will get the cali, the
trainer said today. Carr Smith will
play in left and George Fisher
right.
The batting order will be Bluege,
Bean, Fisher, Goslin or Richbourg,
Smith, Hargrave, Shirley, Tate.
The three pitchers most likely to
get the assignment are McGrew
Marberry and Specie, it was an.
1aounced today. All three are ready

or four innings.
Dudley, Martina. Moon, Joyce,
Roe and Brogan did a hitch each
yesterday on the mound in batting
practice, which consisted Of the
greater part Of the workout.
Martina's inclination to turn loose
drew warnings from the coaches, as
he has been in camp only two days,
but it developed later that he had
done considerable throwing in New
Orleans before reporting. 80

ers, last season with the wonderful
record Of twenty-seven victories and
seven defeats.
Yeargin, the pitcher recalled from
Greenville, N. c.. was q rookie with
the Boston club in training camp
last spring. His work impressed
Duke Farrell, the crafty coach, and
Fred Mitchell, the manager, also
was sweet on the boy. Finally, just
to make him feel good, Mitchell told
Yeargin that he was going to keep
him with the team all season and
not farm hin; out at all.
Now, most any boy would have
been elated over this grand news,
but not Yeargin. He began to get
sad and low in his mind. AS the
team moved northward playing
exhibition games, the North Caro-
lima recruit was marked as "the
man who never smiled"
Passing through the Carolinas,
Yeargin got positively mournful
Finally Farrell discovered the
trouble. 1.-THE kid is hOmesick," he
declared. It was the correct
ldiaRnosis, Yeargin admitted It..
Yea. he boasted Of 1t. He was a

Mitchell farmed him at his own
request to Greenville. He won
twenty and lost nine in the Carolina
League. Now. with a year Of mar.
ried life behind him, Mathewson
figures that this young pitcher will
welcome q big league trial far from
the Carolina cotton fields and
mountain ranges, and that he will
