RraXcS Look Good

Boston. March 21.-The New York Yankees defeated the Boston Braves, yesterday at St. Petersburg, Fla, 6 to 5. and won the spring series.
 The feature of the game was the batting of Dave Harris who twice put the Braves in the lead, once in the fifth when with powerful smash he put over two runs, and again in the seventh when he scored a home run. In the ninth, however, he muffed a ball. thus giving the Yankees an opening to score two runs and win the game.

Lakeland, March 21.--Tris Speak, er had high hopes for his ball club last season and was disappointed.
 If he has pennant thoughts this year he keeps them to himself. However. he is positive that the In dians of 1925 will be a much stronger combination than last year.

 Both boys have been using tho | Y. NJ. T. A. X B. society building on Lafayette street as training head quarters and they both have been adhering 10 a strict training sched' ule.

Edwards and Uhle

T am banking on Edwards and Uhlc to win at least 20 more games than they did last year. Add 20 games to the won column of 1924 and take the same number away from the games lost side and you will note quite difference in our standing.
 The good year Joe Shaute had last season is certain to prove help ful. He will have more confidence in his ability. Sherry Smith is still a great pitcher
 "A winning ball club must have a crack catcher who can be in there mots every day l look for Hyatt 10 be such a backstop this year.
 "The Indians of 1925 will be a hustlinG ball club. I have inn pressed on my players that fact There is no place for the fellow whc doesn't want 10 go the limit to win Hopes for Breaks
 "I7inally, l hope to get the breaks We didn't get many last year. Los. ing clubs seldom do. Winning club: are hustling clubs, hUstlors ofter make the breaks The Washing ton club is an example of that truth
 Where will the Indians finish don't care 10 get real definite or that subject. However, I will b' disappointed if we fail to tinisl among the first four"
 It is just possible that a bette morale, improved pitching, greate reserve strength, plus the punch thu Indians are known 10 have, vii make Speakers hopes reality.

MARTINS GROWN
 IS KNOCKED OFF
Rosenberg Takes 10 Out Of 15
 Rounds for Title
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 New York, March 21. -- A new champion wears the worlds bantam- weight crown today. He is Charley (PhiD Rosenberg of New York. who reached the highest peak In ms pugilistic division by outpointing Ed die (CannonbalD Martin, defending champion, in a 15-round match at Madison Square Garden last night.
 It was a battle between a fighter and boxer, the latter dominating the situation during 10 of the 15 rounds with nothing but left Jab, right uppercut and cool head. Martin was decisiVely outboxed by his rangier opponent. The defending champion, never a hard hitter or clever performer, was aggressive enough and willing at all times but he was as wild as he was aggressive and his willingness was confined to series of bull-like rushes and frightening clinches which gained him nothing.
 on the other hand Rosenberg, de- spite a weakened condition by being forced 10 come in under the 1lS- pound limit, fought a well planned exhibition, boxing clererly at all times and keeping out of the way of Martin when the latter attempted his rushing tactics.
 Except for a faint tint Of blood from Rosenberg's nose and Martin E mouth the match was bloodess af- fair, neither being noticeably dam aged at the end of the festivities.
 Martin held the title just three months, winning it from Abe Gold, stein December 19, 1924. The title has changed hands seven times since 1920, Pete Herman, Joe Lynch Johnny Buff. Goldstein, Martin and now Rosenberg holding 1t at odd times during that period. Lyncl winning it from Herman, losing it tc Buff and then winning it back again

.CARDS' SUCCESS
 UP TO PITCHERS
Club Will Hit Hard, But Oppo-
 nents May, Too
By The Associated Press.

pS IHV NuSp~loNNN
 Stockton, Cal, March 2i.-The St. Louis Cardinals of 1925 will be hard hitting team, but their success in the pennant fight Is up to the pitchers" said Manager Branch Hickey today in commenting on the clubs pros- poets.
 q think the Cards will score a lot of runs in the National league race" he asserted, but just how we finish in the stan nding of the clubs depends on the pitching, If we can hold down the opposition I am sure our batters will couse considerable wor- ry 10 the other pitchers.
 "Allan Sothoron, Jess Haines and Bill Sherdel, of our veterans, are in fine physical condition after three weeks of training here. Sothoron pitched some mighty fine ball last season, but was unfortunate in get ting into several games in which the club failed to score many runs for him. Enqucstionably he was the hard luck pitcher of the staff. LIullINSs Ollp ol lllt ldGb DdIl pitchers of the league. did not win many games last season, but it wouldn't surprise me if he shows a decided reversal of form this year. He has been in some of our early season exhibition games and his arm looks fine. Shcrdel, too, has round- cd into form early.
 If we uncover any added pitching assistance this season it will prob ably be from Flint Rhem, a right handler: William Hallahan, a left handler: Vincent Shields. right handler and Ruilford Paulson, from Cornell Iowa college. Rhem comes from the Fort Smith club and had more strikeouts last season than any pitcher in any league. He was the strikeout king of organized baseball He has lot of stuff, but with just a seasons experience in the profes- sional game it remains to be seen if he has the necessary poise.
 "Hallnan is another strikeout, serving with Syracuse, Fort Smith and Kalamazoo last year. Like Rhem he has had only limited ex- perience, but has a great fast ball and good curve.
 "Paulson is big athlete who had q great record at college and looks IS if he will be a winner in time Shields comes from Plaster Rock, New Brunswick, and has a deceptive underhand delivery that will prove baffling. He makes Carl Mays look like an overhanded pitcher.
 Leo Dickcrman, formerly of the Brooklyn club, will likely be one of the regular pitchers. He pitched good ball for us last season after we had obtained him from the Dodgers and is in good shape now.
 Third base and shortstop are be- ing contested for by several athletes, among them being Jimmy Cooney, Howard, Freigau, Lester Bell and the champion hitter Of the American association last season, Tommy Thevenow and George Torporcer lis too early yet to say what players will win these jobs.
 "of course, Rogers Hornsby, the greatest hitter in baseball. will be the second haseman, and Jim Bot. tomley. will look after first. l have several outfielders. including Ma: Tlack, Jack Smith, Hcinie Mueller Ray Blades, Ralph shinners, Chick Hafcy and Walter Roettgnr, th? last named a former University of Hi. nois athlete, The competition fcl the places is keen"
