|HOWLEY LOOKING
FOR GOOD SEASON
May Repeat Experiment Tried
Last Year With Youngsters

West Palm Beach, Fla, March 5
Up Manager Dan Howley of the
st. Louis Browns believes what has
been done in baseball can be done
again. Last season he tossed Two
untried youngsters into the very
heart of his infield and they made
good, one brilliantly Now he is
seriously considering epeating the
experiment with still another lad
who has never heard the roar of
big league guns at close range. If he
decides to gamble again with willing
but inexperienced talent one OF the
young stars of 1928 will have to re-
tire to the bench for time.
Eddie Grimes is the boy who may
be given the acid test on his first
trial. He is third baseman and
batted .334 for Tulsa in the West
ern league last year. If he gets the
assignment for the Browns. Frank
getic performers, will move over to
the second base, temporarily forcing
Otis Brannon to the bench. Grimes
has shown that he can field. If he
can hit he is in.
The infield viii be completed by
Lu Blue at first base and Ralph
kress at shortstop. kress was good
last season and will be better this
year. says Howley. kress and his
colleague. Brannon. after getting
away to great starts lost some of the
ground but we're still going strong
when the last curtain fell.
The Browns. who finished third
in the last campaign. to the surprise
Of the baseball world. are confident
they can do better, notwithstanding
the strong American league opposi-
ton they face. They base their op-
tnistic predictions on increased re-
serve strength, likely additions to
the pitching staff and a never say
die spirit.
At this time last year the Browns
had only two outfeldcrs for Harry
Manush who was later to fall only
one point shy OF the league bat
ting leadership, was injured, Now
ready with Frank MCGOWAN who
finished in sensational lyle with the
club threatening to make a regu-
lar place for himself. Morris Bad

California star. up from Tulsa prob

MAY name CAREY
garden PRESIDENT
Railroad Builder May Succeed
TO Richards Position

New York. March 5 NUP)-With-
in few days. Bill Carey. builder
of railroads the world over and d.
rector of half dozen concerns
whose capital runs into many mil
lions OF dollars, will be asked TO
take the job of president of Madi-
son Square Garden made vacant by
the untimely death of Tex Rickard.
There is no question but that the
Garden wants and needs Carey. The
only problem confronting those in
terested in the affairs of this super
sporting institution is 10 persuad.
Bill to accept the post.
To do so will involve considera bic
sacrifice on Carey's part-both from
the point Of business and pleasure
but the fun he had in putting
over the recent Sharkey- 81 ribling
fight at Miami Beach is still so
fresh in Bills mind that he may
be persuaded 10 spare at least part
OF his time in the interests of the
big sports arena.
D'N WIN oliI tO'IdS, lIl' HtWS-
papermen who were Carey's guests
at Miami Beach will tender him 4
dinner and try TO tell him how much
they would like TO have him carry
on at the Garden.
The question of whether anyone
could ever fill Tex Richards shoes
arose Immediately after the deaf b
OF the master Snowman.
What happened recently al Miami
b. ach proved that there were bet
ter men than Richard interested in
the affairs of Madison Square Gar
den.
Tex was a genius in his own way.
but he lacked the necessary sound
business sense to conduct the af
fairs OF an organization like the

had Richard lived for another year.

at logger-heads, and it was with

Bill" was all for selling out and
washing his hands of the entire af-
fair.
When Tex died, the more press
ing business affairs of the Garden
deNolved upon Carey. It was "Bilr'
who went TO Boston with Jack
Dempsey TO negotiate for the serv-
ices Of Jack Sharkey in connection
with the Stribling fight at Miami

persuaded Dick" Hoyt and the
other heads of the Garden corpora :

100000 loss in order to save their
faces and prevent anyone from say

Garden could not promote impor-

than Tex Rickard ever could have
hoped to. II Richard had lived and
had gone through with the Sharlicy-

(Ry Thomson & McKinnonl

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Although
incentive is lacking TO bring about
marked change in values, it has
been noticeable for some times that
except in special cases, adverse
trade news has had little effect in
disturbing the market. Apparently
present levels have about discounted
the prospect of disappointing first
quarter reports from our major in
dustries. Competent observers ap-
pear agreed that essential iquida-
ton has been proceeding in orderly
fashion and that the process of
eliminating sore spots will be car
ried on without disturbing the mar
ket's equilibrium. Until such time
as there is a definite turn for the
better in the business outlook, or
a constructive news development of
the utmost Importance occurs, we
anticipate no material change in
the character of the recent markets.
The advantage, We feel is still with
the investor who will select the
better class of stocks during periods
of weakness.
