RED S0X HAVE
BIG BOYS FOR
COMING FIGHT
Youth, Size and Enthusiasm
Are AsScts-Outficld Is
Mature
BY BRIAN BELL
(AssOciated Press Sports Writer)

Bradcnton, Fla, March 9.--Ps---
Youth. size and enthusiasm are
three baseball assets of the Boston
Red Sox. In the main Bill Carri-
gals athletes for 1928 are big fell
lows, most Of them are young and
all have an abundance Of spirit.
The outficld is the most mature
department. Ken Williams, the
hard hitting St. Louis Brown, is now
Red Sox and will play left field.
He is 81, as is Ira Flagstead, one of
Boston's best performers. Denny
Williams, who spent two years with
the Red Sox but has been at Mobile
of late. who will probably play right
field, is 90. The other outfielders
are youngsters-Arlic Tarbert, Ohio
state university player who was
with the club last year, Doug Taitt,
a hard-hittcr from Nashville Of tile
Southern association, and Gus
Loepp, another outfieldcr who was
able TO hit ninc- league pitching
hard and often.
The infield seems destined to con-
sist Of Phil Todt at first, Bill Regain
for second, Jack Rothrock playing
short and Bill Rogell ticking care of
third. Buddy Myer, the ex-senator,
and Russell Rollings, a Sox last
year, will doubtless be in at inter-
walls with an outside chance for
Charlie Lajeckie, first baseman re-
cruited from the Patterson Silk Six.
Mycr has a chance tc crowd into the
select inner circle, for he can his the
ball.
COnfers With Hoffman
Fred Holman as the only veteran
catcher in camp has been given ad-
ditional responsibility by Manager
Carrigan and seems to be ex-officio
member of the board Of strategy.
The manager confcrs on pitching
prospects at frequent intervals with
the former Yankee. John Heving,
who was,with Toledo last year, will
give Holman lift and, under Man
agcr Bill's plan to carry four catch
ers. Charles Berry, who had fine
season with Dallas last year, and Ed
Doherty, who caught for Holy Cross,
may become regular big leaguers.
This arrangement would prove dis
/ pleasing to Edward Connolly, Brook
! lyn semi-pro, the fifth catcher in
camp.
Bryan Harriss, standing six inches
/, over six feet, tops the pitchers in
I inches and age and experience.
Other pitchers brought over from
! last season include Charlie Ruffing,
Jack Russell, Danny Macfayden
the bespectacled schoolboy, Long
Jack Wilson, and Harold Wiltse.
Bradley, who returned from the
eastern league in time to finish in
sensational style last season, and
Bennett and Bushey, recalled from
the New England, seems to have a
chance to make the grade this time.
Young Pitchers Look Good
Young pitchers threatening to
crowd some of the veterans from
the staff include Merle Settlcmire,

When Sammy comes marching home
again--not from war, but the
squared enclosure where furious
feet grip a resined surface-the old
home town beats path to his door.
Sammy Mandell, lightweight
champion Of the world, may be the
way strident voice proclaims the
dapper little boxer to a fight assem-
blagc, but in Rockford the title Of
solid citizen, or devoted daddy fits
him better.
Sammy's home town likes him !;
is taking a sentimental interest in
the career which he is carving with
his rapid-fire fists, and regards him
somewhat as a civic asset, like an
other town might look upon it's 90
story national bank building.
Like all towns, Rockford has it's
back o the yards section and its
dignified part where those more
fortunately endowed live.
Sammy began life where dingy
houses stand in detection. He lives

his hand and slap him on the back
1t doesn't make any difference
whether Sammy wins. loses or gets
a draw decision, the home folks
give the boy hand.
Of course, Mrs. Sammy Mandell
