Jones, from whom absolutely
nothing was heard for many
weeks after his contract was
sent out, finally got in touch
with the big chief, requested
that accommodations at the
hotel be arranged for his wife.
He was advised that the reserva-

make the delay in checking in -as

gested that he bring his signed

seems, has demanded not only
more money than was offered

get neither.
Mccullough, who was to have been

trained for Tampa from Washington

time he was ill and would be a

which time no word has been re-

he played at Minneapolis last season,

Genaro was hit only twice. The first
punch, right to the Jaw. staggered
him. The second, terrific left to the
heart, floored him. The spectators
gasped in intense establishment as
Genaro, fully conscious rolled over the
ring vainly attempting to rise. Finally
he collapsed face down as Refree Henri
Bernstein completed the count of 10.
The bout lasted Al seconds.
Pladner was carried about the velo-

spectators.
Genaro rushed out at the first gong
as if he intended to make short work
of the Frenchman. Genaro swung right
and left. but both blows were wild.
Pladner, as usual. was high strung and
nervous at the beginning of the battle.
After short clinch, Genaro landed an

but the Spider, inside the Americans
guard, swung short uppercut to &C.

knees buckled and he sank slowly to
the floor, writhing in pain. He gamely
sought to regain his feet, but was

to the infield puzzle johnson will have
to work out.
How? Well, as the situation stands
now, Cronin will be given to under
stand when he reports for Spring prac-
tice Monday that, although Bluege is
slated to play short this year, Joe is
regarded as having a bright future in
that Job; that 1t Is only a question of
time until he will earn the assignment
as regular and that in view of his
youth, he can afford to act as first
string substitute for term.
Then. If Hayes or Stewart, or either
Voter or Gooch, for that matter, should
fill the bill at second base, the insield
would be all set. But in the event
that none of this quartet looms as a
capable successor to Harris, what then?
Our suggestion is that Cronin be CIV
en- full rights and title to the position
as shortStopper, which he demonstrated
to our satisfaction last season that he
can handle capably. and that Bluege
be shifted over to second base.
Bluege a Ball Player.
To our mind, there is no more reason
why OSs shouldn't make as bang-up
a second baseman as third sacker or
a shortstop. Few there are who ques-
ton his ability to get away with his
projected transfer to the latter position,
and We can't see why there should be
any doubt about his success as a middle
/ cushion guardian.
He has every qualification for the
task, including adaptability, and as
Cronin, next to Bluege, unquestionably
is the best potential shortstop on the
roster and the two of them figure to
! co-operate around the keystone cushion
