BY HENRY McLEMORE

FIT. MYERS, Fla, Feb. Gloon
ME Mack's fear that he would in
cur the displeasure of the nations
fandom caused him to postpone un-
til this year the conversion of jim
my Foxx into a major league catch
er, the 72-year-old manager of the
Philadelphia Athletics said today.
Squirting into a bright sun at the
big Maryland apple-knocker hand
ling young pitchers in a spring
workout, Mack said that when FoxX
came to the Athletics as a hitting
catcher at the age of l6, the club
was we'll fortified behind the plate.
What we needed was some ac-
ton at the plate, and SO we changed
Foxx into first baseman, where
the grind is less severe and less like
ly to cause hitter to slump.
And as a first baseman he con-
tinued, but he's also going to be a
great catcher, although he wasn't
enthusiastic about switching behind
the bat.
He still thinks he can break the

tention when he first Joined us.
/ 81 deliberated a year before l de-
cided to change him back to his or
iginal position for the coming sea-
son.
I'm 1888 Jimmy was the outstand-
ing batsman in the American
league. If I had shifted him from
first to catching after that and his
batting and slugging fell off, l
would be blamed and criticized.
THE fans would have pointed to
me as the man who ruined Jimmy
Foxx as Babe Ruth's successor.
well, last season Jimmy fell off
many points in batting while play
ing his regular position. And he
didn't break the home run record,
so I feel free to shift Jimmy back
behind the bat.
Nov, if Jimmy drops below his
1888 hitting, no one can charge 1t
! to a change in playing position. At
J that, expect him TO do at least as
well as he did last year.
LAS far as his catching is con-
cerned, the pitchers already are en-
! thusiastic.
"And if my pitchers start next
season like they finished last, we'll
be the big surprise of 1885"

RUTH RETURNING TO OLD LOVE
BY TRANSFER TO BOSTON CLUB

"Ruthville" in rightfield bleachers
of Yankee stadium.
No less was he the Yankees to
visiting firemen who, planning their
visits to New York, bracketed hopes
OF seeing the Babe poke one over
the fence along with those of CATCH
ing glimpses of a few Harlem hot
spots.
Despite all this Col. Jacob Rup-
pert, owner of the Yankees; Ed
Barrow, his geenral manager, and
Manager Joe Mccarthy were pro-
toundly glad that the deal was
closed. Two reasons:
l. Babe, although still great at
traction at the plate, was also a tre-
mendous liability to the games-won
column. Although he won games
with his potent bat, he lost even
more because he was no longer able
to field as well as the utility out
fielder of the Columbus, American
association, club.
2. Babe Ruth himself had Great
ed situation" This revolved about
some less than diplomatic remarks
he made at the close of the 1894
season. In effect Babe said he felt
the Yanks owed him a job. The Job
would be that of manager of the
club. That would mean firing Marse
Joe Mccarthy who had been doing
a good job, and whose contract had
one year to run.
Concerning item No. l the Braves
have no real worry. Even with Babe
nobody figures them as a pennant
contender. But he will bring custom
mers to Braves field. Doubly well
come will they now be that Tom
Yawkey's bankroll and Ed Collins
brains have made the Red Sox the
top of Boston baseball show.
AS to the second item there was
nothing to do but move Ruth. Stat
ed in the vernacular, Ruth had tried
to knife Mccarthy. Joe knew this.
So did Barrow, a smart judge of
baseball men. Ruth and Mccarthy
might have gone along okeh for
a while. But there would be inter-
nal dissension. Cliques would have
formed. Even in 1884 there was dis
cord among Yank regulars over the
fact he dropped so many easy flies,
losing ball games and, SO the play
ers though, keeping them out OF
the world series dollars.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-The saga
OF Ruth and the Yankees was at an
end today and the mighty Babe
turned toward Boston to fill three
jobs.
Baseball's greatest star, persona
non grata of the New York Ameri-
can league club, is now vice-presi-
dent, assistant manager and player
of the Braves, Bostons National
league team. Thus he returns to the
city which first knew him as a ma
jor league star.
He goes principally to fill one Job
that OF an ace player who may
bring new life blood (money at the
turnstiles) TO the Braves. Secondly
he hopes to be groomed for q post
as full-fledged manager. Finally,
when playing days and active man.
agerial days are done, he is in line
to become a baseball magnate.
Fortunate always, the Babe, for
tunate is he in this latest turn OF
events. Yet he turns sadly from the
baseball park he built, from the
league he helped to make, and from
the clup bosses who once loved MIN
but who, in their hearts, are glad
to be rid of him.
Why so? Wasn't Babe Ruth the
Yankees, and weren't the Yankees

of humanity which created an

GRID PRACTICE

New arrangements in spring grid
training yesterday brought the most
enthusiastic workout from aspiring
football heroes yet TO be held on the
local field
A faculty OF senior lettermen COM
posed of Dilbeck, Wiegand, Moody,
Spear and Lambeth was drafted into
service by Coach w, 8. Taylor for
the purpose Of giving each man out
Tor football more individual atten-
ton In the preliminary tactics.
The squad of 40 was split into
small groups of six to nine each
with an instructor in charge of each
group. Dilbeck and Wiegand worked
with the tackles and ends, Moody
with the guards, Spear on passing
the ball, and Lambeth helped with
the backfield men. These groups
worked in rotation on the dummies,
sled, and other apparatus on the
field. Two blocking dummies of
new type which bounce back after
they have been hit helped speed up
practice considerably.
Spring practice is held each year
for the purpose of ascertaining pros
poets for fall football material. Ac-
cordirig to present arrangements,
this training will last about two
weeks, eliminating in game to be
played between two teams chosen
from the squad.
IF other workouts are as excel
lent as that held yesterday the
coach said today, I'VE can expect
some definitely good results from

DROPS BOUT

DETROIT, Feb. 81. W,P)--An up
set victory by Chuck Woods, De-
troit, over Tony Canzoneri, ex-
champion in three divisions, in a
10-round match here last night
temporarily halted the New York
Italians comeback today.
Tony waited little too long to
send his right crashing to Woods
jaw and the Detroiter managed to
hang on during the last two rounds.
The former feather, light and jun
ior welterweight champion seemed
content to wait until late rounds
for victory, but meantime, Woods
built up lead that could have been
overcome only by a knockout. And
Tony nearly put it over in the
ninth. His right, which he had held
cooked all evening, darted to Woods
chin and the swarthy Serbs knees
buckled. But the bell gave him
enough time to recuperate and with
stand Canzoneris terrific attack in
the tenth. Canzoneri weighed 1873;
Woods 1861.
Canzoneris loss was not the only
surprise as Bob Olin, light-heavy-
weight champion, lost a non-title
decision to Dutch Weimer, young
ster from Tucson, Ariz.
Weimer took all the glamor from
the champion as he belted olin all
over the ring, and at one time near
ly punched him out of the ropes.
Weiman fought at l82 pounds, sew
en- over the limit. Olin weighed 174.
