TAKE THINGS EASY
Athletics Rewarded With a Not Too Strenuous Workout After Winning Two Games.

Fort Myers, Fla, March 13 P-- The Athletes were rewarded by a not too strenuous practice today. partly because of their two-time de- feat of the Cincinnati Reds and partly because of long series of exhibition games that begins tomor- row with the phillies as the opposi- tlon.
 Lefty Grove and Jack Quinn were Connie Marks pitching selections to go against the Reds yesterday Both were in good form and turned the enemy back, to c. in a struggle that was cut to six innings by rain. The Reds outhit the Mackmen but they couldn't drive in a tally. Con- ing on top Of their preceding victory the Mackmen have now held the Rcdlegs scoreless for IS innings.

Rockwell made it 13 10 II, but after members of the Fafnir team had shot at the basket in turn as they stood about it, Gierochowski scored a two- pointer which evened the count. Shortly after this Belser made the winning basket and left the game on personal fouls.
 The offensive stars were Gieroch- owski of Fafnirs and Augustine Of New Britain Machine but the great est work of the night was the de- fensive play of Swanson and Rock well of the New Britain Machine team who held Belser and Havlick in check. Matulis who has been as signed the task Of guarding Nick Arena since Mathis was in high school and Arena was in trade school kept up his good record and on this occasion he held Arena scoroiess.

st. Petersburg, Fla. March 13.- Every manager in the American l,agl" discusses his chances for the pcunant in practically inc same words. You could put the sentiment oi the brains of the whole league into one statement and the state- mrUt would be:
 If Ruth and Gohrig don't hit, we will hay" q chanc".'
 And with reverse English the manager of inc New York Yankees expresses his hope for another pen uaut in the same words. IIuegins doesn't express himself very forcibly. He has a rather subtle way of put ting over his point.
 How about your bunch this year." l asked lim,
 Ruth and GehriG look great he replied without stop.
 How about those lame arms Of Comhs, I.aZzeri and Pcunock?' ] asked again.
 "Thcy say they are all right, and they look good, But the Babe and Gehrig never had anything much wrong with them. They're hitting and I don't know Of any sensational rookie pitcher on any other club who is going to stop them" the little Hug replied,

outfeld. As long as Meusei, Combs and Ruth are able to walk and throw you can name the Tank out field for any game. There are Durst and Pdschal in reserve and couple of younger fellows, Byrd and Funk, and Huggins likes both Of them.
 The Yankees never have been powerful behind the bat and there may be the question Of a weakness there this year Benny Bcngough rates as the first string catcher. He is q good catcher, hut he has en- countored more accidents that ran into disability than any other man on the team. He says he licked his sore arm during the winter.
 There is Grabowski as a first string catcher also and he reported in great condition after a winter of work and training, but Higgins seems to be very sweet on Bill Dick"y, young man from Little Rock. who sat on the bench last year learning wisdom.
 Higgins is one Of the worst pess mists in baseball He hasn't been well physically for years and when you have a bad stomach you can't be an optimist.
 But Higgins thinks that his Yankees will win the pennaut again and he bases his opinion upon the belief that the team which won IaSt year after lot of trouble is good enough 10 win again this year be- cause no other team has been inn proved enough to make up the difference.

There are testimonials by the car load from all the high minds in the American league and also in the other lad2uc about the value ot Ruth and Gehrig to the champions. Connie Mack admits in his nice uui,t way. that the two sluggors kept him from winning q pcnnant last year. Buckey Harris. Walter Johnson, Dan HoWley and Bill Car rigan also pay the same tribute to the pair by prefacing their predic- tions with q query; How will the Babe and the Dutchman go this year."
 Over in the other league the same testimonials can b. found. Bill Nc kcchuie lost his job as til" manager Of the league champions b"caus" his pitchers couldn't stop Ruth and Gohrig and because his outtielders didn't play them right in the world ,,rIcs.

This seems 10 be a long preamble toward a story about the training camp of the Yankees. But the whole comp story is one of those two slammers.

There are lot of second sucssers around the camp and among the touring experts who think that Lary will not do and that Durocher and Robertson will do most of the work. But that is not an important item and the other managers speak Of what a swell spot Huggins is in to have so many good emergency men.
 Huggins doesn't rave so much about Rhodes the former Utah University pitcher and a sport writer. But Huggins never will rave about q pitcher who isn't sure Of winning 20 ball games for him.
