Anticipated "War" FizzIes.
Leiber, Youthful Giant,
an Unusual Holdout.

BY the Associated Press.
ut. PETERSBURG. What ap-
- peared to be the beginning of a
~ war to the death may yet de-
velop into beautiful friendship.
Dizzy Dean visited the Braves bench
prior to the Tampa slaughter to placate
the Babe with Il hope you're not be-
leVing everything you read in the
newspapers about you and me, Babe?"
NO" Ruth replied, tive been so
busy reading Anthony Adverse ]
haven't been able to get around to the
newspapers"
MIAMI BEACH, Fla.-Hank Leiber,
the young Giant outfielder, is rated as
an unusual kind of holdout. He has
been working out every day. taking
part in exhibition games and eating
at the clubs expense. thus furnishing
sharp contrast to the usual method
Of treating the non-signers. But so
far he hasn't had a conference with
Manager Bill Terry over the salary
question or even been approached.
They may get together soon, however.
TAMPA, Fla.-Every one in the
Cincinnati Reds camp had a wide
smile today as a result of the lop-
sided victory over the Boston Braves
yesterday.
Manager Charlie Dresser, elated
over the work of the rockies, planned
to devote most Of his attention this
week to the young hopefuls.
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif.-Guy
Bush, the ace pitcher. and Babe Her
man the slugging inflelder who came
over from the Cubs, are demonstrating
nicely for the Pirates already.
Just for something to do Bush
pitched two innings Of the game which
the Bucs won 81 from the Acme
Brews yesterday and only six men
faced him. Babe was responsible for
a sizzling three-bagger.
ORLANDO, Fla.-Stanley (Frenchy)
Bordagaray, who has to win a place
in the Brooklyn outfieId by beating
out 1884 regular, is making a
promising bid for the job. He pulled
two fancy plays in yesterdays intra-
camp game, snaring Frey's high fly
few inches from the ground after
he had stopped to avoid a collision
with Brown and making one bee-line
throw to the plate from center.
BRADENTON, Fla.-After a Sun
Gay afternoon lay-off, the champion
st. Louis Cardinals resumed their
training schedule today.
Manager frankie Frisch announced
Dizzy Dean will pitch a few innings
tomorrow in the Cardinals opening
game of the Grape Fruit League sea-
son against the Phillies.
AVALON, Calif.-Manager Grimm
of the Chicago Cubs, today considered
lengthening the intra-club series from
two games to three-out of sympathy
for the reserves.
In the only two games originally
planned, the Yannigans failed to
score run. Saturday they lost, to
0; yesterday the score was z to o.
WINTER HAVEN, Fla.-The Phil

outf1elders, whose reporting will COM
plete the squad of Nationals expected
here, were to check in some time to-
day. There has been no news of
Walter Stewart, the pitcher who
spurned the clubs salary offer, since
he wired last week negotiations were
off.
President Clark Griffith says there
will be no more word so far as he Is
concerned. "I offered Stewart $1,000
for this season. I consider that offer
more than fair. Last year he got
$4,000. And he won only eight games.
That's pretty high per game. He can
take the $1,000 or leave it. And, be-
sides, he'll have to do lot Of talking
to make me take him back"

says his pitching problems don't
bother him very much. He owns
up to possessing a reliable sinker,
q red-hot fast one and curve that
really battles 'em. Questioned
about control, he merely shrugs
and remarks that he'd have to have
1t to handle all the stuff he has.
Base ball is his chief interest,
but he varies his sport diet occa-
sionally with golf, ping pong and
pocket billiards. Also likes to read
about the great diamond sport in
hopes of brushing up his knowledge
Of the finer points Of the game.
This is the first year the youth
full tosser from the Presidents
home State ever has attended q
big league training camp and min
gled with his awe and inspiration
is the feeling that he has some
thing to offer the big show. Well.

weighing little more than five pounds
above his playing avoirdupois.
Schultz, too, is almost down to
playing weight. He worked out in
a gymnasium at his home in Belvi-
dere, ILL.,, during the Winter, but pur-
posely left on about five extra pounds
to give him some leeway in training.
Schultz reports that business was
good at his bowling alleys in Bel

also picked up some coin by refereeing
basket ball games.
The ankle ligaments that Schultz
pulled in game last September have

One of the pitchers Harris referred
to Is Earl Whitehill. The southpaw
popped up with an ailing arm the
second day out, but at the time those

regard the trouble as serious. It was
attributed to muscles stiffened by the
prevailing rain and cold weather.
There was no suspicion of strain,
The trouble persists, however. and
now it is believed Whitehill might
have put a trif1e too much vigor into
his work at the outset. Anyway, his
arm now displays all the symptoms
of having been put to heavy work too
early in the training period, and the
way the Earl complains of the sore

Geved.

Fred Schultz, regular outfielder last

2. More than normal foot speed.
(The same $4,000 can back this up.)
3. A cool head, stout heart-a

4. A good hitter and a fine base

5. Can play outfield and infield with
equal ability.
These elements should combine to

only little seasoning is needed.
Crisp is among those who believe
Howell is certain to be a big league
star in a year or two. Despite the
fact that he was one of the best foot
ball players of many years. Howell's
first love in sport is base ball He
always has liked base ball above every
other game, which will be no handicap
in working his way forward and up
ward.
Alabama has sent more than
one star entry to the big tent.
Joe Sewell and Riggs Stephen
son, both came from the home
of the Crimson Tide, and those
who have seen Howell believe
he will top both.
It isn't often that one finds young
athlete with so many all-around ac-
complishments.
In foot ball, he was star passer,
a brilliant kicker, one of the best OF
the ball carriers and a high-claSs
defensive man.
AS ball player, he can hit, run,
field, throw and do his share of quick
thinking on the side
Although, as Dizzy Dean told me,
you can't afford to do too much
thinking. You've got to know natur-
ally what It's all about"
"Just keep an eye peeled on Dixie

r AKELAND, Fla, March IL
The Detroit Tigers, reinforced
by the arrival of the remainder
of the squad, settled down to
practice today with only one worry
on their minds.
The worry developed when Mickey
Cochrane announced Marvin Owen,
third baseman, would not return until
Thursday because Of an operation he
underwent at Hot Springs, Ark, for
sinus trouble. While Cochrane said
Owens illness was of minor nature
it directed attention to the Bengals'
precarious position in reserves.
Mickey gave the club rest Sun

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Jesse
Hill, the former University Of South

drawn considerable attention in the
Yankees camp, although he doesn't
begin work until today with the Sec
ond squad. His slugging feats at New
ark, where he hit .349 last year, COM
bined with a .983 fielding mark and
plenty of speed on the base paths seem
to make him an outstanding outfeld
candidate.

Far Back Last Year.

FINDER Bucky Harris, who switched
| managerial jobs with Cronin,, the
Red SoX finished fourth last
year. but they were 25 games behind
the Detroit Tigers. To cut down this
tremendous gap and make a serious
pennant gesture this season the club
must have the benefit of a thorough
pitching comeback by Lefty Grove,
among others, and rely on the veteran
Max Bishop and a recruit first base
man, Ellsworth Dalghren. to hold up
the right siGe of the infield.
Cronin and Dalghren, a rugged Pa
ciflc Coast League product, are the
chief additions to the starting line
up. The new rnanager-shortstop will
furnish the cleanup punch, batting
fourth. He will follow Bill Werber
and Roy Johnson, a pair Of .320
hitters last season.
Right down the line the Red SoX
will have more speed and solid power
than at any time since the palmy
days of Speaker, Hooper and Lewis.
Werber. a great third beseman, stole
40 bases in 1884 and is hashy per-
former. johnson drove in 119 runs
last year and Cronin, despite an off,

home 1O1 for Washington. Bishop,

ing, but it ought to be the largest
week that sport has known In
some years.
Down around the citrus belt We
have Babe Ruth boiling his diSplace-
ment down to 230 pounds. Mr.. P. Hal
Sims, training for his coming clash
with Ely Culbertson-man and wife on
both sides-has scaled his altitude OF
6 feet down to 26s pounds.
But the main fricassee takes
place Friday night when Primo
Carnera and Ray Impelletierre
lug a total altitude Of 13 feet
and more into the ring, plus
some $50 pounds.
This ought to be the all-time record
for pressure on the boards. I once
saw Jess Willard, weighing 260. maui
around with Carl Morris, weighing
245, and that was something to shoot
at. As 1t turned out, quite number
of spectators came near shooting at
both of them before the fight ended.
willard and Morris slip well back
of Carnera and the Imp when 1t
comes to height and weight. A brace
of elephants from the circus might
break loose and set new mark. The
same might happen If a dinosaur and
a brontosaurus broke loose In the
American Museum of Natural History.
Messrs. Carnera and Impelletierre
will leave a mark to shoot at in the
way of displacement. There is always
the chance that the spectators may
wish to get in the first shot. Both
athletes involved might recall the
fact that neither has electrified the
multitude so far with any astounding
feat of arms, including hands and
head.
Their general batting average has
been around 213. or less. And there
Is always the chance OF a double
elimination.
