PEARSON LOOKS LIKE BIG HELP
 TON.L. CHAMPS
Major Leagues Prize "MOaner" Has Had No
 COmplaints-Yet
BY HARRY FERGUSON United Press Sports Edltor)

Tampa, Fla, March 6 - (U.P) The biggest piece of news in tn camp of the world champion Gin cinnati Reds Is that Monte Pearson. the leading ache-and.pain man of baseball, feels okay.
 At least the Reds board of strat- egy thinks he feels okay. They're afraid to ask, for Pearson has been known to acquire aches and pains merely by glancing at a liniinent advertisement. But there seems tc be fair chance that under Man ager Bill McKechnies soothing treatment, Pearson will be a differ cnt man from the pitcher whose ill., rlesses real or imagined - caused despair to Joe McCarthy's New York Yankees.
 If so, the Reds may make a run- away race of 1t, for Pearsors snap. ping curve makes him as dangerous as any pitcher in baseball on the days when he is right. Good Gamble The Reds gambled $20000 and a player that Pearson would respond to the McKechnie magic when they bought the rtghthander from the Yankees. And they knew 1t was Q gamble, but McKechnie has Q long, brilliant record of taking cast.off pitchers and turning them into win- ners.
 Pearson appears to be in splendid shape. He Is throwing easily and working with enthusiasm. All he has to say about his prospects in the National League is:
 T wouldn't be down here if I didnt think I could help Bill Nc. Kechnie. I'm fixed 60 that don't have to play baseball"
 Monte Is one Of the big puzzles of baseball. He Is either awfully good or awfully bad. In 1888 he pitched a no-hit game for the Yankees against Cleveland. He has pitched in four world series games, won them all and yielded an average of just under five hits per game.
 Moaner
 In two of the world series games ne went to the mound moaning that he ought to be in @ hospital-acting as though he needed a trained nurse to stand by his side while he wheeled em Up to the batters. One of those games was against the Reds-in 1889 when the Tanks swept to q victory of four straight games-and 1t remains one of the masterpieces of world series pitch ing. He gave up only two hits and for while seemed on his way to @ no.hitter.
 With Derringer. Walters, Thomp. son, Beggs and Moore. the Reds'are loaded with good pitchers. So Me- Kechnlc must have seen something that convinced him the big ache. and-pain man was worth Q $20,000 gamble. Meantime, nobody discusses aches and pains with Pearson.
 A crowd was sitting along the bench watching Pearson work out and somebody asked Trainer Dick Rohde whether Monte had bobbed Up with any new ailments. Rohdc Shuddered slightly and said:
 Not yet, but let's don't even talk about It."

St. Petersburg, Fla, March G. Billy Southworth came back and the St. Louis Cardinals say he has plen- ty of company.
 The Red Birds believe they are once more in the pennant hunt ur1- der the guidance of the old out fielder once forced out of baseball by demon rum.
 The material has been there for two years, but the severity of Ray Blades and his quick. .on -the. .tr1g. ger method of changing pitchers had the club down. The blokes in the red blazers were in last place last June IA when Sam Breadon brought Southworth in from Rochester.
 Southworth was rewarded for hay. ing been a winning A man. ager who developed more good ta- lent than any other pilot in the far flung St Louis chain.
 Southworth's first job was to re- store confidence and morale. Pitch- CTS who had been yanked for is- suing a base on balls or allowing a single were told: This Is your game Get out there and fight for it, Blades got mad at athletes who were in slump. Southworth pats them on the back.

Many Expect Vigh
 To Reverse Loss From Billy Soose
Especial to the Democrat)

New York, March 6.-There are many men in local boxing circles who predict that 1t will be Ernie Vigh rather than Billy Soose who will next oppose Ken Overlin for the world middleweight title. Vigh and Soose clash in a twelve-round event at Madison Square Garden tomorrow night with the winner slated to face Overlin for the title.
 The tendency among fans and experts alike has been to accept Soose as the likely titular opponent, passing their prediction on the fact that Soose has already beaten Over lin in an overweight match, has trounced Tony zale. N. B. A. title claimant, has defeated Tami Mau- riello, has beaten Vigh. and is gen. erally hailed as the uncrowned middleweight king even now.
 But the Vigh enthusiasts are con- fident Ernie will turn the tables on Soose tomorrow night and go on from there to a meeting with the champion.
 or the Floor.
 They point out that Soose was extremely lucky to win the first fight with Vigh a month ago. On that occasion he was fioored with n wicked left hook in the eighth round and only the bell, coming to Soose's rescue at the count of eight. saved him. The Penn State star stayed out Of range in the final two frames and won . widely disputed decision.
 It SO happens that tho Garden fight c month ago represented Vighs first appearance as a Garden main event principal. A bit nervous at the start. he did not light his 0ght" until late In the contest. When he finally got going at his best, 1t was a trlhe too late.

Senator Willis Lauds
Frederic W. Vile
As Great Reporter
Indiono Luwmoker
Cites Writer'S Efforts
On Behalf of D. c. Vote

The late Frederic William Vile
newspaperman and author, was
praised as truly a gentleman and
a great reporter" by Senator Willis,
Republican, of Indiana in an ex-
tension of remarks published in the
Congressional Record.
Tribute was paid to Mr.. Vile not
only because of his reporting OF
news but also as an interpreter OF
public events.
"Within the past decade said
Mr. Willis, the Journalistic profess
sion has added to the mere recording
Of events discussion of the portents
of these events with relation to ma
tional and world affairs. 1t is
highly essential, therefore, that the
man charged with the responsibility
of reviewing these events be able,
conscientious and, above all, patrl-
Otto"
Valuable Service Rendered.
"It is heartening to know" he
added, that so many who are en-
gagged in collecting the news and in
writing the review of the news have
a full sense of this responsibility
Such men are rendering valuable
service to our country.
"One of these men-my native
neighbor in upstate Indiana-a
columnist. news commentator, for
eign correspondent and pioneer in
radio news broadcasting, vent back
home for the last time Wednesday,
April 9.
Frederic William Vile, truly a
gentleman and great reporter,
must have looked forward often to
returning to the placid HooSler
farm lands after the nerveracking
experience of covering both the
Boer War and the World War. But
his body was taken for burial into
a different La Porte, Ind. than
that which he remembered-a La
Porte whose thousands of acres OF
farm land are now being trans
formed into a huge Government
shell-loading plant. 1t has become
an ironical resting place for one
who served so long on the war fronts
of Europe and Africa. bringing
news of war to his American read
ers. He was 81 years old when he
died"
Great HoOsier Writer"
Senator Willis quoted tribute from
The Star, with which Mr.. Vile was
connected at his death, and re-
viewed his career in detail.
His writings continued volumin-
ously here in Washington after the
World War said Mr.. Willis. Dur
ing that time he worked hard TO
attain the voting privilege for resi-
dents of the District of Columbia.
He called the lack of District
suffrage 'Scandalous ParadoXically,
1896 was the only year in which he
ever cast presidential vote of his
own.
The Nation and the world, and
Indiana in particular, mourn the
passing of this capable member OF
the great band of Hoosier writers"
