their supposed reporting date.
Buddy Myer, Star second sacker,
is expected tomorrow, while
Pitchers Alec McColl and Hal
McKain, although not considered
regulars, have advised President
Clark Griffith that they would
make their appearance either
tomorrow or before practice ses-
SionS are commenced on Monday.
McColl's Arm Treated
McColl has been sojourning at
Chattanooga all week for special
treatments to his arm, which
was operated upon during the
winter. A DR.. Jensen. famed arm
specialist at Chattanooga, has
had the rookie veteran in tow
and from all reports has helped
McColl a great deal.
McKain will be checking in
from Hot Springs. The former
White Sox hurler visited that re-
sort because of his desire to work
off a bit Of poundage taken on
by virtue of his absence from the
game last season. Said Griff
today:
"ThiS veteran may fool the
experts this spring by branch
ing out into a real pitcher. He
wasn't so bad while with the
White SOx in 1881, especially
before he hurt his arm. But
that is all healed now and
look for him to make a trOng
bid for a pitching berth with
our 1884 team"

to the New York Giants, Connie
Mack was, indeed, a happy man
ager today.
The signing of Jimmy FoxX,
baseball home-run king, added to
Mack's joy, but since that was
long a certainty, the real cause
of his jubilation was the impres-
sive pitching of his three Okla
homa City rockies - Matuzak,
Kennedy and Benton. They al
lowed the worlds champions but
two hits before Benton slipped
in the ninth.
AVALON, Cal, March 10
G.N.SO "A spring training jinx
of an injury a day apparently
was pursuing the Chicago Cubs
today, the latest mishap placing
Dolph Camilli, first baSeman, on
the sidelines with spiked finger.
Scoring 10 runs in the second
inning, the regulars defeated the
Goof Brigade, 13 to 4, in four in
nings in the first intra-club game.
PASADENA, Cal, March 10.
Negotiations wer afoot today to
sign Harold c'MuddyD Ruel,
veteran American League catcher,
on the Chicago White SoX pay

Lou Comiskey, Sox owner, was
angling for the services Of the
veteran who was released by the
st. Louis Browns last year to be-
come a free agent.

Pau Around $4,000

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, March 10.
Jimmy Foxx, star first baseman
of the Philadelphia Athletics, will
play with the White Elephants in
1894. He will receive somewhere
between $4,000 and $4,000 for
his services. A minute con-
ference between Mack and FoxX
ended with Mack'S announcement
that Foxx had come to terms. FoXx
was originally offered $1,000,

LOughrGn Refined
Determined to Win
Heavyweight Title

yet there were certain condi-
the bout that he does not think
augured in his behalf.
The outstanding characteristic
of Tommy Loughran is his utter
confidence that sooner or later
he will earn the heavyweight
championship Of the world with
those two fists of his.
Tommy has been too busy
with his fighting career (he'S
had on the average Of about
ten fights a year since 1919 to
ever see the sights Of Wash
ington until now, despite the
short run from his home in Phil
adelphia to Washington. Fact
is he's been so active running up
and down and across the country
on trains that this is the first
time of his many Florida trips
he's taken the leisure to motor
North.
A Rare Friendship
The Philadelphia Irishman
and his midget manager, Joe
Smith, constitute one of the
most unusual friendships of
which the ring world boasts, both
in quality and longevity.
Fact is, the Loughran family
and the Smith family are one
big, congenial group, every mem
Der of which is bent on just one
thing-the heavyweight title for
Tommy, and the fact he is to
be 80 years of age in November,
a rather late time in the life of
a fighter to expect to ascend the
throne, in no wise dampens their
ardor.
The bee first commenced to
buzz in Tommy Loughran's bon
net to become a heavyweight
and seek the championship back
in 1925. when he used to get
in his big yellow roadster and
drive from Philadelphia to At
lantic City to spar with Jack
Dempsey when the latter was
preparing for his first Tunney
fight.
Bloodied Mr.. Dempsey
On one sunny afternoon in
early September, with a score or
more of newspaper men seated
around the ringSide at the At
lantic City dog track, where
Dempsey trained. Tommy took
the liberty of bloodying Demp-
Sey's nose.
The "Ahs" and "Ohs" and
"Ahems" that went up from
those press seats that afternoon
resounded across the continent,
every newspaper in the land on
the following day blazoning the
fact to millions of readers who
had been speculating on Tun-
ney's chances against their idol,
That was eight years ago.
Since that day the idea that
sometime he could take the
heavyweight title has never left
Loughran's mind, and you can't
tell any of the Smiths or Lough-
rams of Philadelphia the trick
won't be turned yet.
The Washington times., 1934-03-10

Tney even go so Tar as TO say
that the regulars, scheduled to
arrive next Wednesday, will find
o pitching staff with plenty of
class when batting practice be-
gins. Said Griff today:
''With the exception of Chap
man and Weaver, who have at
one time or other, suffered
slight injuries, the entire pitch
ing group here has trained it
self into excellent condition.
The veterans, WhitehiII, Crow
der and Russell, look particu-
larly good. while the others in
Guiding Stewart, Thomas, Burke,
Linde and Prim have gone
along slowly, but fast enough
to warrant giving good lc-
counts Of themselves when the
batting drills are started"
CrOnin Likes Sierra
Cronin. who has spent most
Of his time with the rockies,
features Andy Sierra, the tall
lett-hander, IN his comment.
Says Joe:
''We've nurSed this kid along
all week, giving him valuable
instruction at every turn, and
/ must agree with Coach Nick
AltrOck, his special tutor, that
he looks very good. I'm plan
ming to give him a thorough
trial in the batting practice
sessions, and if he shows up
well, will give him a chance to
pitch In the exhibition games
not SO far away. AS to the
other pitchers here, both rockies
and veterans, I'm mighty
pleased by the prOgr" $ they've
made since our f practice
last Monday"
Speaking Of the regulars, they'll
be dropping in at various times
between now and Wednesday,

SPORTS
By KIRK MILLER
RMeL Hears Call
Joins White SOr
Sixth Major Club

The habits of 19 years are
difficult to break. Muddy Ruel,
one Of the smartest catchers of
modern baseball, has capitul-
lated to the call of his first pro-
feSSion, and will be in the uni
form Of the Chicago White Sox
this season.
Last winter Ruel thought he
was through with the game, but
something has changed his
mind. He has taken a six
months leave from a st. Louis
bank in which he invested and
became a partner, in order to
put in "just one more" year on
the diamond.
Long, Long Trail
Since 1919 the plucky and
brainy backstop, whose playing
was one of the features of the
1924 season locally, has been
packing up his bags and hieing
to some training camp.
Ruel was but 19 years Of age
when he got trial with the st.
Louis Browns, and, in 1915, he
caught in three games for them.
He also spent part of 1916 with
the Browns, finishing the season
with Memphis, from whence he
went to the Yankees in 1917.
New York, Boston, Washing
ton, Boston again, Detroit, st.
Louis, and now the White Sox
make the trail he has hit since,
and his has been a distinguished
career behind the bat.
The greatest proof of his capa-
bilities lies in the fact that at 38
he is still in demand. You can
figure he got pretty good deal
from the White Sox, otherwise
he wouldn't have pulled out
even temporarily from banking,
into which he went over the
winter.
Loughran 1mpresses
Ruel told me last world series
time he never wanted to be a
hanger on in professional base
ball, and that if he didn't land
something real substantial he
was headed for a career outside
the game. He must have landed
it
This Tommy Loughran who
has been doing our town, is one
of the softest-spoken, refined
individuals who ever graced
the prize ring and you can't
loiter in his presence ten Sec
ondS without forming a deep
admiration for his genteel ap-
pearance, rare manners and all
around affability.
It isn't difficult to imagine
him lolling around in the
cushioned wicker of Palm Beach
where he did his training for
Primo Camera. because he has
a drawing room ease that isn't
unremindful of Adolphe Menjou.
Intelligent to a degree, Lough-
ran knows what he wants to say
and how to say it. He spoke
with no bitterness of his defeat

There was a silence.

He gave Ann the address of the

He was glad he had moved. There
would be no unpleasant memories
for Ann here.
You're not far from here" Ann
said slowly. She hung up the phone
and went into her room for her fur
coat and a brown beret. She put a
key in her bag, went out in the hall
and caught the elevator.
Tony let ner in. He looked happy
and excited. He stared at AIMS
white, unhappy face.
When he started to take her in
his arms Ann said, please don't
touch me, Tony"
Good heaven, Ann. Will you
ever get over being a puritan" But
he humOred her.

said. You look all in"
Ann nodded. She heard him in
the kitchen moving about, heard
him on the porch, cracking ice. 1t
made her think of Peter, moving
about in their little kitchen in
Florida. Peter had said, Tired
Ann?" so gently, and then had con-
centrated on breakfast. 1t had been
funny watching Peter, who was so
big and masculine, going about
getting breakfast.
Ann watched the rectangle of
yellow light, the door through
which Tony would come presently,
bringing tray with cocktails.
