TRADED STARS FAVOR
 SOX OVER THE INDIANS
Catcher Steve O'Ncill and Inficiler Wambsgnnss We'll Pleased With
 Their New Team

San Antonio. Tex, March B. Catcher Steve O'Neill and Second f3aseman Bin wambsganss, former In- dians. recently traded 10 Boston, arc intent on showing up the trade that caused their transfer.
 While both are pleased at the chance to play in Boston, still they cannot forget the slight that has been handed their playing ability. Every ball player delights at the chance to show up club that turns him loose and o'Ncill and WambsganHs arc no exceptions.
 In an effort to report in the best possible condition both have started handball work and intend to continue daily play until reporting time.
 "IIcforc the season is over I will have proved that am far from through as a catcher" says the veter- an Steve o'Ncill. Tt is my hope to report in better shape than have in years. If hard work win accomplish il, I will he down to weight long before the season opens.
 "I have played under Manager Fohl before. ike him and certainly will give my best efforts. Hes a mighty clever leader.
 "Thc Boston Red Soa arc far from a joke team. ] figure wc will upset con- siderable dope this year. In fact. wouldn't be a bit surprised if we beat out tho Cleycland club.
 That isn't a case Of sour grapes either. just an honest opinion.'

Buenos Aires March s.--Luis Firpo last night knocked out Erminio Spalla, the Italian heavyweight champion in the 14th round of what was to have been a 15-round bout.
 The European champions hopes to meet Jack Dempsey were dashed when Firpo put over one of his fla nous rights to the jaw and laid him flat upon the canvas.
 Spalla put up a remarkable game fight against the Argentina. During the latter rounds, when Firpo was rushing, he successfully blocked many hard rights, many of which would have sent him down for the fatal count.

|BABE'S WEAKNESS?
 LIMP CAN'T SEE IT
Evans Declares That Ruth Is
 Good on All Balls

So they have finally discovered Bbe Ruth's weakness at the plate. The Babe must be much perturbed. Pitch high and inside is the dope that is being waited north from tie training camps if you would step Ruth from busting up all ball games.
 A year ago John McCiraw told thh world that Babe couldn't hit a bah pitched low and inside. The work oi Ruth in couple of series against the Giants seemed to bear out that opin- ion.
 Then in the 1923 series Ruth broke loose and swatted the low and outside stuff to all corners of the lot.
 From a position back of the plate I have been watching Ruth for a number of years. and haven't as yet been able to discover any decided weakness n~his style.
 Ruth is a free swingcr. the style batsman who looks bad when there is lack of coordination. When Ruth is pressing most any kind of pitching will make him look bad.
 I regard Ray Schalk q sone of the
  Ruth had failed to hit low and outside pitching in the big series, it was certainty that he would be fed such a dict during the American league sea son. At the close of last season 1 asked Schalk if he had been success fNAwith such a style against Ruth.
 'I should say not" he replied. That style may be all right for a world series but not as a steady dict. Ruth ran up on the slow stuff, pitched low and outside, and broke up many ball game against. the Sex.
 Urban Shocker Of the St. Louis Browns, is the only pitcher in the American league who consistently bothers Ruth, excepting Pruett of the same club, who also seems to have Ruth's number.
 Sneakers great success against Ruth can be traced {, his ability to mix them up.
 The star twirler of the St. Louis puts much thought back of every ball pitched,
 The pitchers who can slow up on Ruth, using exactly the same motion delivering the slow ball as the fast one bothcrs the big fellow shocker is that type.
 Yet have often heard Shogker say that no batsman in the game gives him more worry than Ruth. While Shocker has the edge on the cham pion slugger. he is always pleased when he has been retired.
 "Pipp beat us many more esmcs than Ruth," is another message rom a big league manager in the south. "We passed Ruth, took a chance on Pipp, and he invariably delivered"
 That is an interesting bit of loec. If manager refused to take chance and let Ruth bust one, naturally Pip. to whom his pitchers pitched, woull have a much better chance of doing damage.
 If club refuses to pitch to Ruth, ono could hardly expect him to make base hits. The fact that Pipp came in the pinch doesn't prove that Ruth wouldn't have done as well if given the opportunity.
 Keeping iiuth Iroau .Itting the ball is largely confined to the conversation of the training camps.

ark finishing seventh with an average of .37S, only six points out of last place, Baldwin was one of the most effective pitchers in the league. He won el and lost Is games. Baldwin is a right handler.
 Joe Bradshaw, with Toledo, a bad tailender in the American association, nearly broke even in the matter of victories and defeats. Roger Bres- nahan, former owner of the Toledo club, now with the Giants as coach, predicts big things for Bradshaw.
 Of the many other recruit pitchers working out, Earl Webb and Dave Thompson arc well liked by McGraw.

 THE GAME 0F LIFE.
Funeral of Reds Leader Tuesday

Orlando, Fla, March S.-The body of Pat Moran, pilot of the Cincinnati Reds, lay in state here today before removal of late afternoon train for the last trip northward, home.
 Moran died late yesterday after an illness of four days.

Mrs. Moran, the children and team mates were at the bedside.
 Funeral services will be held Tues day at Fitchburg. Mass. Moran's birthplace. Ivy Wingo and George Harper as representatives of the Gin cinnati club will accompany the body to Jacksonville where Moran's brother will meet it.

 Suffered Breakdown
 Moran arrived at training head quarters here last week and on Mon- day suffered 6 general breakdown.

 Morans death, team mates said, came when they were looking forward to successful season, with the hope of repeating victories of 1919, when under his leadership they captured the National league pennant and fhe world series.
 Was Great Catcher

At half time the tally was 16-14 in favor of Jim Lynch's pets and at the end the Gas company stars were ahead 34-31.

Attorney Harry Ginsberg. whose heart was set on playing on q team that would beat the Gascos' was saved the humiliation of playing on another that lost to the Gascos because he was prevented from playing by a lame ankle.
 It was largely through the work of Wojak. who shot in field goals, that the Gascos were enabled to win, though the excellent floor work of Carl Restelli also was contributing factor.
