Irving Speed" Wallace, manager
Of Charles Paddock, sprint champion,
who is TO appear here on March Is
in an exhibition and give a lecture,
under the auspices Of the junior col
lege, is himself a runner of no mean
ability.
Speed, in his early days, himself
aspired to running honors, but was
SO unfortunate as to be attending
the same school as Paddock, who was
always just a little bit better.
Wallace then turned his attention
TO baseball, and at present holds the
amateur worlds record for getting
around the bases, having negotiated
the distance in 13 seconds flat, which
is a fraction or two lower than the
best professional mark established
by Maurice Archdeacon.
Wallace will remain in Brownsville
until the arrival of Paddock, who
will make this city his first stop on
a long tAlr Of the country he will
make this spring in an endeavor to
get into condition for the coming
Olympic games in Holland.
While here Wallace will workout
daily at the junior cclloge athletic
field. Red Irvine, coach of the junior
high school. will assign someone to
pace theobaseball flash, and has
loaned him locker space in the
school gym.

Spring Workouts
Started By Grid
Players in City

The 1928 football season was Of
ficially launched in Brownsville Mon
day.
After shaking the ccbwebs off the
moleskins, Coach Frank Rubarth took
o good-sized-squad Of fall high
school hopefuls on the field and made
them listen to lectures and do all the
things usually done in spring foot
ball practice.
This workout is to be a regular
event for the next month or two,
the coach declared. The boys will be
expected to study the rules and
handle the ball, in order that they
might not become stale on such mat
ters before the call to practice is is
sued next fall.
Red Irvine. coach Of the state
champion junior high school squad,
stated that he probably wouldn't
give his boys any actual work before
the early days Of September. A few
blackboard sessions may be held dur
ing the spring months. but Red be-
lieves youngsters the age Of his team
are too much interested in tennis
and baseball t. pet much benefit
from a spring football grind.

Thirty-nine years old, II he's a day,
but still able to step in there and
catch a bang-up game of ball.
Such is Grover Hartley, seasoned
veteran OF some Is hot campaigns,
but as agile and frisky as the fresh
est rookie in the squad.
Hartley went south this year with
the Cleveland youngsters to give the
eager rookie moundsmen a lot OF
pointers of what to throw and how
TO throw it.
In his day the grizzled ves caught
such nifty Fingers as Christy
Mathewson, Jeff Tesreau and other
stars Of the New York Giants, and
Manager Roger Pe~ckinpaugh of the
Indians, feels that Hartley Is just
the boy to hold down such an i'm.

For years some Cleveland pitchers
were an open book to American
league batters, according TO the ex-
perts, and "Slick" Hartley's big task
Will be TO correct that fault. 1t will
be his. duty to teach the young
moundsmen how to cover up"
Signal sratching is one of the
widest arts Of the major leagues and
II Hartley al teach some of the In
dian moundsmen the art Of battling
the batters until the ball is hurting
along its way, the Ohio moundsmen
should prove a great deal more ef-
fective.
While Hartley's chief job will be

been obtained from the Boston Red
Sox with that in view-he may also
be expected TO catch a few games
himself this season.

HORNSBY once
GIVEN GO BY
Paris, Texas, Passed
Up Roger AS Bum
Stick Wielder
BY NORMAN T.. BROWN

At no time since Rogers Hornshy
was launched on his sensational
trading voyage" has there been any
effort to belittle his ability as "a ball
player.
But there was a time early in his
career when he was "passed up" by o
minor league club. although that
club had q chance to acquire his SER
vices for nothing-outside the re-
sponsibility Of paying his salary.
Harry Cox, veteran baseball writer
and fan, Of Paris, Texas. tells the
story.
1t seems Hornsby got his first
actual professional experience with
the Hugo, Okla, club. The league,
including the Hugo outfit, blew up,
and Hornsby, among other players,
was offered to Paris in the Texas
Oklahoma league. The club bosses
decided he wouldn't help their club,
and instead OF taking him on grabbed
Eddie Workman, an o~utfielder.
Workman was the property of the
Fort Worth club when Paris sought
him and had to pay Fort Worth $500
for him. Workman played one sea-
son with Paris and then drifted
away.
Hornsby went to the Denison
club, then managed by Babe"
PEBBLES, and was later sold to the
St. Louis Cardinals for $500.
Hornsby's teammates, at Hugo, i'm
cluded Fred Nicholson, who later be-
came a big league outfisider. and two
of the Covington boys, Bob and
Clarence, brothers Of the better
known "Tex" C~ovington, the Centre
college football flash.
Gas / recall, Hornsby was not
better than a fair hitter when he
tried out with Hugo. and that's n
Of the reasons Paris passed him up"

HUBERT SIMMONS

Red Lodge and Carbon County
didn't fare so badly at Billings last
week after all. Hubert Simmons of the
Carbon County High School won first
place in the extemporaneous speak
ing contest, repeating his action in a
like contest held there last year. To
those who know him best, however,
his victory occasions neither wonder
nor surprise but this city and county
are proud of him just the same.
Hubert Simmons has real ability.
Sane, well ordered thought and the
ability to lucidly and gracefully ex-
press it are the two qualities that go
to make an orator. Hubert Simmons
possesses both.
