BOSTON, March 6.-Strengthened
by two important trades, Boston's
big league baseball teams face the
coming season, perhaps not with
pennant hopes, but at least with
confidence OF finishing well outside
the cellar
The names Of Rogers Hornsby,
one of the National Leagues hard
est hitterS, and Ken Williams, one
of the American Leagues long
range batsmen, loom large in the
plans of the Boston Braves and
Boston Red SoX for their 1928 cam
paigns.
In the case of the Braves, there
is another reason for the hope that
the new season may restore to the
National League club some Of its
long-lost laurels.
Jack Slattery. former Harvard
and Boston College coach. has be-
come manager OF the Braves, and
with this development fans have
foreseen the possibility Of an in
lection of college spirit into big
league ball.
With Hornsby at second, Maurice
BarruS at first, Eddie Moore at
third, and Eddie Farrell at short. the
Braves will have an infield which
should prove both alright and

Using among these. club officials be-
lieve, is 23-year-old Edward Brandt,
a southpaw who came from the
Seattle club.
Besides Brandt the Braves will
have seven seasoned pitchers to car
ry the bulk of the hurting. Among
them are Kent Greenfield, Bob
Wertz and Joe Genewich.
The trade of Frank Hogan to the
Giants left the Braves with only
one catcher-Luke Urban. 1t was
felt that the purchase of Bill Cronin

Mandell of Rockford, Ill, probably
will defend his lightweight title
against Tommy McLarnin in a
scheduled fifteen-round bout at the

The bout is contingent upon Ed-

release from a contract with Jim

Manager Bethel, Coach Corriden and
Secetary Clauer. The best hitters in
the A. A. are old timers and perhaps
Jacobson will be new addition.
Reb Russell, leading swatter of
the American Association last
year, lifted a drive out of the
Plant City park Monday despite
the fact he was looking at pitch
ing for the first time this year.
He put the horsehide over the
right field fence.
The following pitchers worked on
the mound during hitting drill Mon
day: Specie, Thompson, Yde, Cavet,
Swetonic and Leverett. Boone and
Schemanske toiled before batting
practice under the guiding eyes of
Coach Corriden.
The regular outfielders did very
little fly chasing Monday and spent
most of their time batting. During
infield practice Spencer was at the
plate with Corriden hitting. Holke
was at first, Bethel at second, Con-
molly at third and Warstler at short.
Chef Russell, a rookie from West
Virginia, relieved Holke, and Asher.
rookie from Minnesota, relieved
Connolly. Jack Riddle, a rookie of
promise, shared the plate job with
Spencer.
InfielderS absent Monday were
Fred Haney, regular third base
man, and Ralph Miller, utility
infielder. Warstler showed a
pair of fine hands at short and
he's certain to make strong bid
for a regular Job If he delivers
with the bat.
Weather in Plant City Monday
was sunshine and roses 1t was
warm, with light breeze. Addison
field has an open-air basketball
court, and several Indians found
time to exercise with the sphere.
Walsh, Boone, SWetonic, Hurt and
Bethel tossed the big ball at the
hoop and passed it about in Hoosier
style.
Wallie Hurt, indianapolis semi
pro hurler, is the charter member
of the sore-arm brigade. He was
the only cripple Monday. There
will be many arms hanging limp
within few days. Caution orders
were disregarded by several athletes
Monday and they'll pay the fiddler
later.
Outfielder Matthews is a high
school coach and was given per-
mission to report later. Pitcher
Bill BurwelI is due in camp on
Thursday. He signed his con-
tract few days ago.
Owner Perry donned a uniform
Monday and tried tossing the
sphere about. He has a most pc
culiar throw and has the players
wondering where he learned it. He's
enjoying the new experience. how
ever, and getting plenty of sun
shine and southern ozone.

formers not so youthful.
Johnny is a hustler and he has
taken a load off Manager
Bethel.
1t was smart move on the part
of Owner Perry when he signed
Corriden as head coach and lieu
tenant to the field manager.
Johnny's presence will go long way
toward the development of young
talent. He knows the American
Association thoroughly and has
years of playing experience to
sharpen his diamond knowledge.
Furthermore, Corridens employ
ment answers a question that has
had many Indianapolis fans puzzled,
the problem surrounding Manager
Bethel, who was signed originally
for 1928 as a bench pilot.
Johnny removes the doubt. Bethel
has gone back to playing second
base, but in the roll of manager as
we'll. He has had some of the bur-
den removed and believes he will be
able to get back in the stride that
made him stand-out inflelder and
hitter in the A. A. during his days
at Louisville.
Acting as playing pilot last season,
Bruno slumped two ways. atleld and
at bat. With Bethel at second and
performing as of old before 1927,
there will be an improved likelihood
of Shortstop Warstler setting the
league afire.
Warstler will be planted between
Haney, a veteran at third, and
Bruno at second, and this combina-
ton of brains is one of the best
Warstler could ask for as a means
of reaching baseball heights.
Bud Connolly did not team well
with Wartsler last fall and it read
lily was seen that if Wartsler was to
be developed a veteran would have
to be stationed at second; hence the
signing of Coach Corriden and the
return of Bethel as playing manager.
Second in Importance to the Cor
riden- Bethel item as disclosed by
Mondays long drill was the impress
sion made on The Times CORE

son.
Facing pitching for the first time
this year Big Jake" crashed few
drives that sizzled to distant parts
and handcuffed the outfield shay
gers whenever they dared make a
catch of his powerful wallops. He
forced the third base guardian back
on the grass and sent the men sta
toned in left field galloping to the
tall trees deep in Addison field.
jacobson blames poor health for
his low batting average in the
American League last season and
now that he feels okey physically
again, he aims to make determined
effort to get back into the batting
stride that made him famous a few
years ago
At any rate his form displayed
Monday brought many expressions
