Taft Wright, held out of action
for day or two because he was
hit on the head by pitched ball
in the game against the Cardinals
in Daytona Beach, threatens the
hold of Fred Sington on right
field with the Griffs. The roly
poly outfielder is faster than Sing
ton, and has far more finesse in
covering the outer reaches of the
field. He already has learned one
thing that seems to bother Sing
ton not a little. Wright is not
afraid to play right handed hitters
short, depending upon his ability
to go back on a ball hit over his
head.
Sington is a good hitter, and is
putting the ball in safe places reg
ularly, but he is the type of ball
player who will always spread con-
sternation among the bench riders
when he sets forth to challenge a
fly ball. His throwing has i'm.
proved. but there is no little ques-
tion Of whether or not he can
stave off the challenge Of Wright.
The battle for honors RACES be-
tween Buddy Myer and Johnny
Mihalic. Buddy is batting 1000
in two official trips to the plate,
but Mihalic has been betting for
.450, or better. It's great to have
two fine ball players like that
available.
Buck Newsom pitched three
good innings against the Phillies,
throwing too hard as usual, but
showing a lot of good stuff, in.
cluding a side arm curve.
Ben Chapman is handicapped at
bat with blistered hands. The
'Bama boy has been working so
hard at batting practice that he
has raised welts gripping the
hickory.
Sington challenges all flies hit
into his territory on best two
falls out Of three. So far he has
won his matches, but he leaves you
shuddering in dread as to what is
going to happen.
Bobby Burke had a little hard
luck in the first inning. Lewis
hit was nothing but scratch, and
Hogan's Texas Lacquer was a
shame to score as a hit. But the
scratches count with the line drives
in baseball.
Whitney went out on a rather
unusual play in the second frame.
Kuhel deflected his shot to Myer,
who threw back to Kuhel for a
put out at first.
Lewis got a clean hit on drag
bunt in the second inning. He
and Buddy Myer probably are the

Griffnnen Play
Red Sox Today

ORLANDO, Fla, March %.
The Red Sox wheeled into town
today to play their first exhibi-
ton game of the series with the
Griffs. Jimmy Foxx is in Sara
sofa with a severe case Of the flu,
and Johnnie Kroner will be in
first base for the collapsibleS Of
1895.
There's a youngster from Dart
mouth named Daughters who will
play center field today, and there
will be much attention paid to
him. This lad was attracted to
the Red Sox by Paul Collins, son
of the general manager of the
Red Sox. Bobby Doerr, the
crackerjack little fellow from San
Diego, who is all of 19 years OF
age. but every inch a second base
man, will be in the lists today
The Red Sox will show half a
dozen of their newest sensations
against the Griffs. Emerson
Dickman, the smashing young
right handler who was unbeaten
in his minor league form last year
will hurl three innings. Jack
Wilson, a serviceable pitcher, will
go three more, and Archie Nc
Kain will be in there at one time
or another.
The probabilities are that Prof.
Monte Weaver and Pete Appleton
will work against the Red Sox.

GRIST OF THE GRIFFS

1.-TWO best in the American League
at this play.
The Phillies grouped three hits
on Newsom for q run in the third,
but Chuck Klein was soft touch
and hit into a double play to end
the frame. One of the blows was
a roller by Ray Martin. an out
fielder who takes off and flies
down the base lines.
The Phillies gave the fans O
thrill in the third after Stone had
walked. Travis hit one back to
Passeau, the pitcher, who DETECTED
the leather to Young. The last
named tagged Stone and threw to
Corbett to complete the double
play.
We had a Grade A squawk from
Passeau when he thought that he
had pitched a third strike to
Buddy Myer. 1t just so happened
that Lou KollS thought it was a
fourth ball.
The argument was carried along
until KollS walked over and threat
ened to clean off the Phillies'
bench. Twas a lot Of fun for the
crowd, including the profanity.
Baseball is okay when they battle
over exhibition games.
Chapman's snores on first base
in the fourth inning so annoyed
Passeau that the Phillie pitcher
snapped throw to Corbett and
shot Chapman down.
Jack Salveson arrived at the
pitchers millennium in the sixth
inning. No, he didn't hurl per-
feet game. What pitcher cares
about that? He hit a home run
with the bases loaded. Jack started
bravely and was going strong as
he passed third. Between third
and home he staggered. but was
able to cross the plate under
forced draught.
Buddy Lewis followed with a
slash to right center for the cir
cult. Against the Giants, Lewis
staggered and almost fell as he
rounded third base. But he has
improved his physical condition
since then, and yesterday he fin.
ished on his toes with a fine

1t is expected that Chanceview,

2-year.olds, is likely to find Balk-

youngster fails to start, Vanderbilt
has Jack Be Nimble and a host of
other fleet 2year-olds to send after
the purse.
Airflame, who has been training
nicely at the Sycamore farm, may
take a fling at one Of the over
night handicaps. However, young
Vanderbilt won't have to depend
on Chanceview, Airflame and Balk-
ing to land purses for him, as
Trainer Stotler has in the neigh

send postward and which are ca
