At Mercedes Meeting
Especial to The Herald)

MERCEDES, March 6.-For the
first time in the history Of Mer-

No worlds series triumph ever has

Johnny Dundee, the Scotch. Wop,
is still fighting around New York
after a picturesque career as a lead
ing featherweight and lightweight
contender Of the American ring.
Gathering his greatest fame as a
1873 FOUNDER, owing to his famous
fights with Benny Leonard, Lou
Tender, Rocky Kansas and other
lightwe.ghts, Dundee's earlier days
were spent in the lighter class.
His bout for the featherweight
title, fought at Los Angeles on
April %, 1913, always will be remem-
bered in California as one of the
most interesting OF coast glove af-
fairs.
Johnny Kilbane was the 1872

Uncle Tom McCGrey's arena, with
Charley ETton serving as the third

the other the challenger.
As the bout wore on, round after

between them. Kilbane probably

Dundee was more clever in his foot

Some idea Of what Lena BIackburne

reported. are scheduled to hold down
two OF the outfield berths.
With the retirement of Kamm as

Art ShireS to hold down the iob
temporarily. Other players, how
ever, will be tried during the pre-
season games.

tanned during the winter months,
Cleveland should be well fortified in
the Outfield.
Falk came to the White Sox in
1920 from the University Of Texas,
where he pitched three years. The
Sox tried him out in various roles
but found that he was best suited
for the outfield. He broke into only
seven games his first year, but came
back in 1921 to hold down a regular
berth.
With each season his hitting i'm
proved and in 1923 entered the 800
class, where he stayed until last
year.
He hit his best in 1924 when he

CARDS Being
DRIVEN HARD
IN TRAINING
By BRIAN BELL

! AVON PARK, Fla, March 6.-(P)
If it is true that uneasy lies the
head that wears the crown Of man
ayers Of the st. Louis Cardinals.
Billy Southworth is concealing it.
IN spite Of the fact that he is the
fourth manager Of the Red Birds in
four years, the little outfielder to al
appearances is nonchaIant.
The former pennant winning
Rochester pilot believes in hard
work and more Of it. No club in
Florida is working such long hours
and at such speed as the National
league champions.
A training camp innovation has
been made by the construction Of
two batting cages, in addition to
the regular batting practice at the
plate and there divisions take many
cuts at the ball during practice.
SouthwOrth also has two pitchers
alternating in pitching 10 the bat
ters.
Tnfield Change
The Cards are committed to enc
infield change and there may be
more. Charley Colbert, the sensa-
tional young shortstop from Roch-
ester, will play short. Colbert may
face the handicap Of too much
boosting.
If Carey selph, from Houston,
comes up to specifications he Will

Frisch moving over to third. If 2
tour Of bench duty is considered
necessary Tor Selph's baseball well
fare, Fred Haley, former Detroit
player, and the versatile Andy High
are available for third. jim Bot
tomley gets denomination at first
base.
There are only six outfieIders on
the roster, including Manager
SouthWorth who probably VIII fill a
utility role. Walter Roettger, who
was batting at a terrific clip when
he broke his leg July four, seems
to have recovered. Taylor Douthit
and Chick Hafey will hold over in
the other outfield posts. This ar
rangement will leave Ernest Orsatti
and Roscoe Holm as reserves with
the manager.
Jimmy Wilson viii do most Of the
catching with the veteran Earl
Smith available rs first assistant.
The other catching assignment
awaits a contest between Gus Man
cuso and Clarence JOnnard.

In their determined efforts to put

The New York Yankees, quite
possibly the greatest baseball team
OF all time, in the last two years
have discovered q positive method of
extracting most Of the thrills from

some opposing team will win a
game, let alone a series from them.
The hurting Of Pennock and the

IN 1927, the tremendous hitting Of
Gehrig and Ruth, capped by the
Babes three home runs in the final
game of the 1928 .series-these fea-
lures have furnished something to
get a trifle excited about as the
Yankees have steam-rOllered all OPP

Of competition to provide any real
thrills.
