George Ogden, Harry Hollon, Car

these prospects Coach William E.
Morrison hopes to have a winning
team.
Infield Looks Good
The pitching assignment will
probably be turned over to Hork-
man who played third base last year
and proved to be a performer Of
real ability. This makes Horkman's
fourth year as a Greyhound.
In the infield Morrison promises
TO have a crack inner defense. The
catching assignments will probably
be between AdamSon and Hollon
both Of whom are real hustlers, and
practicing hard each day. They may
field. LeboWit2 will probably be
shifted to the outer garden to boil
ster one of the pastures. Second
base will be held down by Murphy
who proved to be a natural ball
player. AT third, Hewitt, a new
cover, will be placed, and he looks
good in practice.
Taylor who saw service at short
stop last year is back again and
will hold down that position.
In the outfield McWilliams, Roberts,
Smith and Sloan will be used con-
siderably.
There is a lot of baseball interest
in the high school here; the players
are eager for the season to start.
Last year the Greyhounds, champs
Of Cameron county, were beaten BY
Mission for the Valley title.

faces will appear in the regular
lineup. Every indication, however,
points to new pitcher and if the
young man about to be struck by
major league lightning has a curve
ball, Athletic fans will see a great
deal of him. This promising re-
cruit, Bill Breckenridge, late OF
Dartmouth, may be the only player
who will have to be introduced at
Shibe Park.
"Breck" as he is affectionately
addressed by the other players, has
not yet been called on to show spec
ificationS for a curve ball but there
is little doubt that he has every
thing else a pitcher needs.
Foxx at First
Assignment of the versatile JIM
my FoxX, of the extra x Foxes,
to first base will cause a revision of
the infield plans Max Bishop
would have been renominated at
second base but he showed a diSin-
clination TO sign. Jimmy Dykes will
play second with Joe Boley at short
and Sammy Hale at third. If Bish-
op gets in at second, Dykes still may
get a chance at a regular job by
forcing Hale from third base to a
utility status. Joe HaSsler and Ed
die Collins again will stand by for
infield emergencies.
The outfield of last seasons close
has been brought over intact, with
Albert Simmons, George Haas and
RTnn hHI1laf- IN rrOltc,NyI%Al 1>--@-
sion Of the field. Homer Summa,
former Cleveland outfielder, will be
a reserve assisted by OsSie Orwell,
who was a pitcher last year and
first baSeman this spring. Redman
Hume, Southern Methodist Univer-
Slty football player, and John Scott,
Mercer University product and pro-
tege of the Fort Myers KiWaniS club
are not yet ready.
Cochrane to Catch
Mickey Cochrane, the most yalu-
able player in the American league
by official verdict, will do the bulk
of the catching but Cy Perkins is
available as first aid.
Bob Grove, George Walberg, How
ard Ehmke, John Quinn, Eddie
Ronmell and George Earnshaw will
be the chief dependence in the
pitching department with Brecken-
ridge, Stewart Bolen, Carroll Yerkes
and Bill Shores available for relief
roles.
The Athletics have plenty of con-
fldence and hope to do better than
they did last year. One department
in which improvement is expected
is that of double plays. If the run
nerS up had been more adept in
getting two at once, they might
have won the American league

Fields vs.. Thompson
VIII Decide Holder
Of Dundee's Title

CHICAGO, March 15.=P-The
National Boxing association will
recognize the winner of the Jackie
Fields-Young Thompson fight,
scheduled for the Chicago Coliseum
March 25, as the worlds welter-
weight champion.
Joe Dundee of Baltimore, the
present titleholder, has been given
until March 81 to defend his crown
by the association, but he has no
title match booked and will not fight
before that date.
Thompson, hard-hitting Pacific
coast negro, scored a two-round
Knockout over Dundee here last
summer, but the title was not at
stake as he was forced to enter the
ring over the welterweight limit.
Fields. q product of Chicago and
who earned his reputation on the
west coast, won a 10-round decision
over Thompson later at San Fran
cisco.

Ey n r KELLER

The other day / saw in a golf
magazine what apparently was an
echo Of a small but lively debate
at Virginia Hot Springs last Sep
TENDER in the Women's national
golf championship. Mrs. G. Kyrle
Bellew vas finishing her qualifying
round III the last pair. She under
stood she could qualify by doing a
4 on the last hole, in the deepening
dusk. She was on the green in 2,
some four yards from the pin. She
walked over to the gallery and
asked if she had two puts left to
qualify-she wanted to be certain.
She was told she had the two puts,
and she took them.
The debate, and the purport Of
this question in the golf magazine,
concerned the propriety Of this
question: Was not the player ask
ing for advice, against the rule that
she might not ask for, nor willing
ly receive advice, from anyone eX-
cept her caddy?
She was not.
She was asking for information.
The information was ct that mo-
ment posted on the ~scoreboard,
available to all the world, or such
part of it as might be interested

VANCE ABOUT
TO Be SIGNED
Reese Clouts Homer Over
Fence To Win a Free
Permanent Wave

PHOENIX, Ariz., March 15.-Py-
Manager Bucky Harris sent the De-
troit Tiger squad through another
long routine drill yesterday. giving
his candidates a little of everything
from "one ol'cat" 10 volley ball and
Shagging flies. He has not yet de-
cided which "a men of the 80 on
the squad will make the trip to the
coast for the exhibition series.
There are at least two specific
reasons why the Cincinnati Reds
do not wish to compete with Amer
lean league entries regularly; name
ly, the Boston Red SoX and the
Philadelphia Athletics.
The BoStonianS, cellar champions
in the American circuit for many
moons gave the Reds a Is to 4 trim
ming yesterday, the worst they have
had this season.
With Dazzy Vance about to en-
ter the fold and Glenn Wright's arm
mending rapidly, fortune has smiled
on Wilbert Robinson and the Brook
Ign Robins at Clearwater, Fla. Rob-
inson announced Vance's demands
for a salary Of s25. 900 had been met.
News from Miami indicated Wright's
shoulder was responding TO treat
mcnt.
Marcel King Andy
Andy Reese, who may or may not
play second base for the New York
Giants this year, is going to pick
his spots for home runs in San An
tonic with little more care here
after. He poled out a 400-yard
drive over the center field wall as
the Giants doWned San Antonio
yesterday, Is to 5. That was all
right. But the ball sailed over the
part of the fence on which is paint
ed a sign reading: For every home
run hit owe this part of the fence
we will give a permanent wave"
He had to take a lot Of kidding.
The Philadelphia Athletics were
without the services of Jimmy
Dykes, veteran second baseman, to-
day. He was injured in yesterdays
tilt with the Phillies at Winter
Haven when Lefty ODoul slid into
second. One of his fingers was cut
badly. His place probably will be
taken by Max Bishop, who has been
a holdout.
Boosting four straight exhibition
victories over the Dallas Steers, the
White SoX moved upon the Fort
Worth Cats for q three-game series
today.
Root to Get Trial
Charlie Root. ace of all Cub
pitchers in 1927 and one Of the big
disappointments in 1923, was to re-
celve his first real test OF the season
today. Manager Joe Mccarthy an
nOunced he would use Root against
the Los Angeles club in the opening
game Of their % game-schedule, at
Los Angeles.
Billy SouthWorth's st. Louis Card
inals were soundly trounced at their
Avon Park, Fla, training camp yes
terday when Walter Johnson's Sem
ators put a Il to 8 Indian mark on
them.
At West Palm Beach, Fla, the
same lnfield Manager Dan HoWley
expects to open the season for the
St. Louis Browns will get the call
for the initial exhibition struggle
tomorrow. 1t will be Lu Blue at
first, ORourke, second: Kress at
short and Grimes, third.
Rain was the refrain at the
Cleveland Indian camp at New Or
leans today. The weather has be-
gun to worry Manager Roger Peck
inpaugh. There was little practice
yesterday or the day before and
Heinemann Field today was soaked.
The Indians are to play New Or
leans tomorrow.

YOUTH SAID STRONG
ON HOCKEY DEFENSE

DULUTH, Mimi, March 15.-(P)
Hockey reporters around the big
circuit may have something new to
write about before long, for Burr
Williams, who jumped from a high
school team to the minor league
hockey, is expected to be on his way
upward shortly.
Williams. 20-year-oId defense
player Of the Duluth Hornets, came
to the local American Hockey club
two years ago after his high school
team had won the Minneapolis title.
Weighing almost 200 pounds, six
feet tall, a fast skater and a clever
stick handler, Williams is one Of
the best defense men in the league.
Burr is understood to be the prop
erty Of Tulsa. a club in which his
father is interested.
Like a lot of other hockey play
ers swinging sticks in American
circuits, Williams learned his hoe
key in Canada, where he formerly
lived.

has twirled the Brooklyn team
into a respectful standing in the
National league. The dazzler is
getting on in years now, but is
none the less effective. He wants
$4,000 for his services this year:
he has been offered ST. 500. Man
ager Robinson wants to accede to
the rightful demand, he believes,
of Vance, but the office moguls of
the Robins can't see it that way.
Who's in a better position to know
what a pitcher is worth-the pres
ident or the manager? Vance is
n of the biggest drawing cards
in the National league, that for
the stiff-collared office; he is one
of the greatest pitchers of this
day; and Of course, wins, too.
Heinie Soluble, the gallant little
shortstop of the San Bento team of
1926, and now with the Detroit I'll
gers, is making a strong bid for the
regular shortfield berth. In a re-
cent announcement by Bucky Har-
ris, the manager, Heinie'S name ap-
peared in the seventh position on
the regular roster. We hope Sc1u-
BILE makes the grade, and eventually
becomes a star major Lacquer.

EDINBURG, March 15.-Eight
homing pigeons from the flock Of

leased here yesterday, made their
way back to their home loft in good
time. taking about one hour for the

The pigeons carried messages
from local business men, all Of
which we're delivered.
Mcqueen plans to gain distance
gradually with his carriers, starting
them a bit farther from home each
time, and finally taking them to
San Antonio.
