\ nRIVAL ol Lindy iu the regu-

form, knickers and coat to watch,
was about the wain event in an
otherwise uneventful day at the
Orchard yesterday. The second
baseman looks exactly like he did
when he left here last Fall, prob-
ably being within two pounds of
his weight at that time.

LI this year in addition to X'hty-
ing W inter ball each week end
and Is In pretty fair shape, Ol
course, his athletic endeavors
during the hibernating season
have not Iveen very strenuous
and be will require some train,
lug to get in shape for the long
season under tho blistering
Texas sun, but he says lie'll be
iu there against the Sox this
week end, as he's in as good
shape as any of the other play-
ers.
I INDY says he hit just about so-
l-1 so this Winter, f sorta ex-
pected him to say lie was smack-
ing the ball on the snoot every
time up, but he didn't. "1 done
pretty good," he admitted, "about
1120, 1 guess. 1 wasn't hittin’ ’em
is good as 1 wanted to by a darn
iltc, but I'll be more acclimated
to the heat over here this year
and won’t be far from that old
300 mark—maybe pretty well
above it.”
T't E been in this league a long
1- time and I've seen 'em conn
and go, but never did I see any
one ball player suiter as much
vvitli the beat as did tbe ('at
second baseman last year. How
he stuck in there and played
the great ball be did under this
handicap and the added trou-
bles of not bitting within .To
points of his usual stride is
proof enough of his guts.

and then asked which was Hub- '

out to him. "I played vvitli sev- !

"and every one of ’em said those

in the papers where La Grave

players for information. Every-
thing I heard was good.”

Go to
of Tramel-Piltz
Have Chance
BY P. O. P.
Things move fast in the
boxing game these days. Un-
knowns bob up over night
and boys who never got more
than $500 for a bout in their
lives hop right under Tex
Rickard’s wing for a chance
at the big dough. Clyde Hull
was a notable example of this
right here under our noses.
By a strange quirk of fate,
another protege of Dick Grif-
fin’s will have the same
chance here within the, next
two weeks. Having lost Hull
in the shuffle, Griffin took
up Duke Tramel and Duke
faces the same opportunity
that came to Hull.
Sammy Mandel, lightweight
champion of the world, has
accepted an offer to box the
winner of the Tramel-Piltz
bout here Monday night, the
date agreed on being March
29. Now all Duke has to do
is beat Piltz and the great
chance is his.
Of course, boxing l’ete Latzo
and boxing Sammy Mandell arc
two different propositions alto-
gether, but there is no denying
the opportunity, especially for a
hard - hitter like Tramel. He
couldn't win the lightweight
championship because he's a bit
too heavy. In fact, Mandell will
box here some three or four
pounds over the lightie limit, but
the knocking out of a champion
would undoubtedly be the maUinv
of the former newsboy boxer.
Hick Pretty Smart.
Griffin was lucky in two ways
over night. One of these was re-
ceipt of a second telegram from
Tulsa that Piltz had not broken
his hand and would be able to box
Tramel here Monday night; th<
other was the result of a hunch
by Griffin—one of those hunches
that make him successful as a pro-
moter.
Dick was reading a Los Angeles
paper and was attracted by a rul-
ing of the California boxing com-
mission that any time a champion
boxed in California front now on
his title was at stake, weight or
no weight. Also Duke read where
Sammy Mandell was out there to
box twice on the Coast. Duke fig-
ured the two bouts would be can-
celled and that if he got in a bid
quick he might catch the cham-
pion coming back. Also Dick is a
favorite of Eddie Kane, Sammy's
manager.
So Dick wired Eddie an offer
for a March 29 date, and was
knocked for a row when he re-
ceived a wire right back saying j
the champion would appear here ,
on that night, provided his op- i
ponent was not heavier than 139. j

IROVER CLEVELAND ALEX-
f ANDER, who for nearly 20
played under, only one lias so con-
j sidered me. 1 don’t count him a
big leaguer yet.”
By NEA Service.
AVON PARK, 11a., March
l(i.—Manager Bob O’Farrell of
the St. Louis Cardinal* luipress-
08 you as a man of action rather
than words. If you recall his
brilliant play in the world se-
ries with the Yankee* you will
ha\e oodles of proof of that.
When asked if he believed he
could duplicate Hornsby's feat
of winning a pennant with a
club that was considered just
so-so prior to tbe 11fM cam-
paign, he replied:
"Ball players win pennants,
not the manager. N'o man can
have much success as a big
league pilot unless he is given
the wholehearted support and
untiring effort of everj man on
the team.
“A manager, no matter how
smart he may be, cannot win
ball games unless tbe bitters hit
and the pitchers deliver. True,
he ran maneuver his strength to
tbe best possible adv outage, but
tbe real punch can be supplied
only by tlie players.
"Last season every player on
the Cardinals gave his best
from the start to tbe finish and
showed real courage iu the
pinch. Rogers Hornsby handled
the club well, but the team, as
a whole, must be given much
of tlie credit for tbe unexpect-
ed showing of St. lands in win-
ning a pennant and a world se-
ries.
"I am hojieful of being a sue-
cessful manager because 1 feel
I have the support and confi-
dence of the players who arc
under me. If they jierforin as
eapably as last season, there is
no reason why the Cardinals
shouldn't be iu the running all
the way.
"I make no predictions as
manager. It is up to me to
show. If I am successful, it
will be due to the efforts of
the players rather than any
particular ability on my jiart as
manager.
“I feel that I know the abili-
ty and temperament of every
player on the club. Likewise, I
feel that 1 can handle men.
That of course remains to be
seen.”
Cats Only Club Still In
Doubt On Regular
A DVICES from seven Tex-
Xi as League camps seem
to indicate the clubs are
mostly set for first basemen,
with a classy bunch of initial
sackers lined up for the fray.
Our Cats are still a bit un-
decided, altho Koney appears
to be coming along and look-
ing much better than he did
last year.
Karl Weber, Mint League
star, who was credited with
much of the success of the
Bay City club last year,
hasn’t shown up in camp yet
and is an open question as to
being class A caliber even if
Koney fails to get going.
Red Clemmons of Dallas is a
classy kid and might come
thru, but he needs a little
more experience.
However, La Grave is said
to have a proven performer
in sight in case all other
prospects blow up on him.

LA FAYETTE PICKED AS
SHUDDERS’ BEST BET
WICHITA FALLS, March 16.-—
j George LaFayette, former Fort-
I land star, plays first base in what
I Manager Williams, of tlie Spud-
ders, claims is the bpst infield in
the Texas League. LaFayette
than he is his iron-man record.
Says Evans:
As far a* I know, or have
Iveen able to learn from tbe rec-
ords, Schalk is the only catcher
who has negotiated one or more
putouts at every base.
Catchers are supposed to reg-
ister their out In the neighbor-
hood of home plate, but Schalk
lias Journeyed to first, second
and third to bask in the lime-
light.
When Hairy Hooper played
right field for Chicago, he and
Schalk used a trick play that
got one runner ami failed to
get perhaps a score of others
by inches.
On balls hit to right field
with first baseman playing
deep, .schalk would Jog toward
first In foul territory. If the
batter turned first base wide
and fast, Schalk, at tbe proper
moment, would start for the
bag and Hooper would cut the
ball on a line to that base. It
was a thriller.
Once during a run-up be-
tween first and second, Schalk
left his position at the plate
aml got into the play, finally
tagging the runner out as he
slid into second.
Now for the other trick play.
Noting that a runner on first
had decided to go to third on a
bunt handled by the third sack-
er, in which he retired tlie run-
ner at first, Schalk raced down
from his position at the plate,
look an accurate throw from
Hal Chase, then playing first
for Chicago, and by diving at
the runner sliding Into third,
managed to get the derision
from the umpire. He has made
this play twice.
Schalk. I think, is more
proud of tlie fact he has retired
a man at every base than thft
catc’ lng of loti or more games
for 11 successive years.
