YANKEES SOON
To WELD Ak
On TRIO
Two Catchers and One Out
fielder Slated to Be
Given the Air
By FORD C. FRICK.

NEW YORK, Jan. %. Two
catchers and at least one out
fielder on the Yankee roster are
slated to feel the edge of the ak
between now and that first of
April. And right now it's a toss
up as to who will go and who will
stay.
Just now there are, five re-
ceivers on the pay roll. These
include Schang, Holman and
Bengough, all of them with the
club last year; Steve O'Neill, OBJ
tanned from the Red Sox via the
waiver route, and young Martin
Aubrey, who was with the club last
spring and was later farmed out
to the Eastern League for a bit
more experience.
The outfield list. as it now >ap-
pears, includes Ruth, Meusel, Witt
and Combs, of last years squad;
Hinkey Haines, who has recently
been reinstated by Judge Lands
after a half season Of idleness,
and John Levi, the Giant Arapahoe
with the Jewish name and the
Indian birthright. Haines will be
released outright to some Class
AA club. But even that will
hardly suffice in the business OF
chopping.
Ordinarily Higgins has carried
two extra outfielders, using them
as pinch hitters, but this year the
presence Of Lou Gehrig will neces-
state the cut elsewhere and Lou
is too good a man to lose.
II Combs leg is in shape-and
Indications are that it will be-
then he will draw down the re.
gular center field assignment, with
Witt playing a utility role. That
| will mean the departure of Levi
for newer and greener fields-an
end that probably will be reached
In the infield Higgins already
has lined up Pipp and Gehr1g for
| first base-both of them slated to
stick. Then there are the regu'
lars. with Shanks, Johnson and
young Swartz for utility. This list
will be further augmented by
rockies, though it is doubtful II
any Of the youngsters will survive
the strenuous days Of training
| camp existence.

a player a hoIdout until that
player fails to report at training
camp on the date named in his
orders. Therefore, though some
little gossip runs around the coun-
try because Earl McNeely sent
back his contract unsigned and
Roger Peckinpuagh gave out an
interview smacking of dissatis-
faction over the terms of his con.
tract, it may be taken as good as
granted that the 1925 Fighting
Griffs, when they take the field
next April, will look pretty much
as they looked against the New
York Giants last October
There is no sense in breaking
up a winner. Naturally, Bucky
Harris has no intention of break
ing up the team that he piloted
over the line in first place that
dark day in Boston. He has
merely strengthened it here and
there, such as replacing Miller
and Taylor with Mike McNally
and Spencer Adams in the infield
and adding to his staff of sea-
soned Fingers. 1t will be time
enough to get rid of veterans
when they have failed and who
will say that any one of the
Washington veterans failed In
1924?
Judge, Harris, Peck and Bluege,
sufficient for all demands a year
ago, are enough with which to
open the 1925 campaign. Goslin,
McNeely, Rice, Liebold and, posi-
bly,, Matthews and Carlyle, look
as good an outfield collection as
any in the league. The catching
staff is Muddy Ruel, with Ben
nett Tate eager to share the
work behind the plate.
AS pitching is the largest factor
in the success of ball club, Man
ager Harris, with the whole
hearted support of President Crit
fifth, has obtained seasoned per-
formers, men who have made
good in the big show. Surely, he
is gambling that Ruether, Cove!"
eskie and Gregg will make good
but didn't Clark Griffith gamble
to the extent of $4,000 that
McNeely would make his club a
pennant winner last summer? It's
worth the gamble. That 40 per
cent dividend proves that beyond
all argument.
Brillheart and Kelly and Adams
and Tate and Carlyle and Shirley
may well hold their horses until
the Griffs have failed. In the re-
building of veteran team, they
will stand foremost among those
to be considered. Right now Bucky
Harris is out to hold what '1e
has, the leadership of the baseball
world. He is not seeking it as a
| new thing.

At Georgetown they taught the
players to put heart and soul ana

Carlisle they told them to be
stoical. and calm, and to play like
a tornado. Opposite schools OF
teaching, and both meritorious.
For two years Guyon has had a

his material was such that the
dopesters handed his team an
other championship before ever
basket was Gagged. The Indian
merely thought and bided his time,
working patiently to round out MS
team. Old Granite knew that no
came was won until after it had
been successfully played on the
court.
Ahearn was fearful for his
teams chances before the season.
Then GOnzaga and the Catholic
University freshmen, two tough
foes. were met and Vanqu1snen:
But still he said he was afraid
that Western lacked the neces-
sary punch.
Thus the two teams met at Cen
trail to fight it out, Western rather
tirnidiy, Eastern with holiness.
Ahearn was as a man with st.
Vitus. He couldn't keep still. he
n1oaned and he signed, and he
cursed and he prayed-maybe. he
besought the aid of everything that
could aid. He pleaded and threat.
ened, he coaxed and he cajoled. AND
his team was winning.
Guyon sat with his reserve team,
his eve Watchful for distress signs
among the varsity members. M
signs were apparent, and he SAT
naotfonless. Never once did he show
signs of excitement. He saw his
BOYS rally time after time, only to
fall just short Of the necessary
points each time.
That highly priced champion
ship was fitting from his hands
| and he showed no more emo
ton than an old soldier. GuyOn
had taught all he knew. The
rest was up to his team.
When the game was ended,
Guyon smiled happily. THE best
team won. Ny, boys are too

No one knows how elated he was
over the victory, but knowing his

on the back, and all that sort OF
thing. Guyon awaits another
chance; Ahearn celebrates the fruits
Of his victory.

BRooKLANDERS BEATEN
IN LAST-MINUTE DASH

Catholic University's basketball
team received a bitter lesson when
the Maryland University five in
vaded the Brooklyn Gym. For
almost the entire game the Brook
landers led, and then In the last
few minutes of the game they
let-up in the speed that had car
ried them to the fore.
Maryland, led by Boyd, Beatty
and Supplee, jumped at the chance
offered, and where Catholic Univer-
sity had been leading by three
points, Maryland got three baskets
and in turn led by the same
margin. The thing was done 50
quickly no one yet knows what it
was all about. And maybe those
wild rooters from Maryland didn't
burn up that gym with yells when
their team came out ahead.
The evening was only partially
successful for each school. The
decision reached by the varsity
quints was just reversed by the
Freshmen teams. The G. U. frosh
taught Maryland's yearlings many
things. The score was G. u. Frosh
80, Maryland Frosh II. Long and
Harvey dazzled Maryland with
their speed.

BOXERS
By SID MERCER.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-California
competition for local boxing pro-
moters took definite form yester-
day with the arrival here of Jack
Root, former Chicago heavyweight,
and Tom Andrews, Milwaukee box
ing expert.
Root and Andrews are here to
sign up some fighters for the ten
round arguments permitted in Cali
fornia under the new boxing law.
They represent the new Olympic
Auditorium of Los Angeles, which
will have a seating capacity of 49,
900. Harry Pollok, former New
York manager and promoter, Is
vice president of the company con-
trolling this arena, which will be
completed in the early spring.
Root was a former heavyweight
contender and a well-known boxer
score of years ago. Back in 1905
he fought Marvin Hart. at Reno,
New, for the heavyweight cham
pionship. Jim Jeffries had retired
and Root and Hart were matched
for the title with Jeffries as referee.
Hart stopped Root in twelve
rounds, but was never seriously re-
garded as q champion. He lost
whatever laurels he gained by beat.

feated him, The title then passed
to Jack Johnson and then to VII

Root made more money after re-
firing from the ring than he did as
fighter. Some years ago he set
tied in Los Angeles and now owns
string of moving picture theaters
in California and is accounted q
wealthy man. 1t is understood that
he has invested heavily in the new

she fell right back.
1t wasn't q pleasant thought but

doesn't speak a word of English,
but that shouldn't make much
difference in New York.
There is enough walking done
in the world that you wouldn't
think people would pay much
attention to man whose only
claim to fame was that he could
outwalk anything that had legs,
from a baby grand piano to a
pigeontoed cockroach.
Nevertheless they flocked to
the wharf just to see Ugo step
off the gangplank and the city
surveyor was there to measure
his stride and report back to the
American Society of Engineers.
He can walk faster than most
people run.
Frigerio says he started walk
ing when he was a mere child.
Nothing extraordinary about
that, but since he said so, great
Importance seems attached there
to. We Americans will en-
phasize anything a foreigner
tells US whether we understand
it or not.
l. Asked what he ate, Frigerio
flew into a rage and replied?
"Have you any spaghetti ?"
He was widely quoted in so say
ing, yet it only seems natural
that an Italian would eat such
as that.
Yes, sir, he was yet a very
small baby when his parents
said, "Ugo, you go!" And he
went. He kept on keeping on
until he was proclaimed the
best stopper who ever lodged a
subpoena.
He left Italy about six days
ago when they were starting a
little war over there and now
that it is all over and they won't
need him anyway, he will STAY
a while and cool off his hot
dogs.
