Dazzy Vance, the speed ball king, was throwing bird shot at wide- , Swinging with one 5 with a touch hair, was showing wee lefthanded hooks, and Bill Doak, his alert face lined by wrinkles of a dozen years of Major league diamonds, was now and then contributing to the young fellows’ education with a knuckle ball. Hard by the big McWeeny, even bigger Elliott, Rube Ehrhardt and William Watson Clark were loosening their able arms. Manager Robinson’s eyes strayed from the pitchers to his almost equally great catching staff, De- berry, Hagreaves and Henline, and with a plaintive note in his voice, in a brief sentence, wrote a prescrip-- tion for his ball club. “What we need is runs,” he said. Sees Fight Defense Robinson does not want many runs, just a few will do, he thinks, for his pitchers and catchers will form the basis for a tight defense. If baseball teams were made up on- ly of batteries Brooklyn would al- ways be in the first division. Dave Bancroft, former manager of the Boston Braves, has added noticeable strength to the infield. He will play short stop, probably be- tween Partridge at second and Harry Riconda at third. Bissonette seems likely to draw the first base of silver in assignment. Partridge is the only holdover. Riconda came from the American association although he has been up before, and Bissonette was graduated from the ‘Interna- tional. Howard Freigau, another former big timer, will be available as utili- ty as Will D’Arcy Flowers and Charlie Corgan of last year’s team. Outfield Scrambled The Brooklyn outfield is scram- bled. Captain Max Carey, the vet- eran, will start in center field. The field of candidates for the other two positions is large. Gyson, an- other of the men from the minors who have been in the majors before, will make a bid. Babe Herman, con- verted first baseman, is devoting all his time to outfield efforts and Ar- nold Statz is back again from last ear, Harvey Hendrick, Brooklyn’s lone .300 hitter in 1927, is now re- garded as an outfielder, subject to call at first base. Overton mper, fast youngster who played well at times last season, is back again. Max West from Waco, and Dan Taylor from Memphis complete an outfield array that is impressive in numbers. Louis Koupal, a pitcher from In- dianapolis, has shown enough in the early spring to’ insure him further careful scrutiny and Rob- inson, a big Texas amateur, second only to the 235 pound “Jumbo Jim” Elliott in size, may stick around. Latin Looks Good On a ball club less _plentifully supplied with high class catching talent, Alphonse Lopez, a_Latin- American from Tampa and Jackson- ville, would make the hurdle from class “B” to the majors without a stop.

Facing the management of the Phantoms today is a tough proposi- tion. Eleven star cage performers are at the beck and call of the portly director. They are Harry Lobach, Art Haas, Elmer Benser, Hank Brown, Roy McLeod, Nick Roberts, Johnny Lofthouse, Earl Hoffman, Bruce Doyle, Earl Hoffman and Richard Bristol. Lobach, Haas, McLeod, Roberts, Lofthouse and Doyle have been regu- l.rs during the whole season. Elmer Benser and Earl Hoffman, erstwhile luminaries of the Bismarck High crew, have been members of the Phantom cortege since they were declared ineligible for further par-} ticipation in the play of the North Dakota interschslastic league some two veeks ago. Brown Joins Squad Hank Brown, all-district forward, completed his high school career against Mandan last Saturday night and has jo:ned the Phantom ranks. Richaré Bristol is a former sta: of Jamestown college and a runn:ng mate of Roy McLeod. He appeared « a local court tw, weeks ago as the keyman on the strong Hazelton quint.

The run was about 30 fect and was started slowly. The take-off was approximately the same i back as the height of the eet back tc clear six feet. Just before the leap there is a let- down of the shoulders for a part crouch to gather for the spring.

Reporters had quizzed Gene Tun- ney and plied with question his rumored fiancee, Miss Caroline Bishop, of Beverly Hills, Calif., ‘but the best they could learn with either was a draw. Miss Bishop admitted she found the ring king “one of the most_ad- mirable men of our age.” Mr, Tun- ney confessed he believed the California visitor here “one of the loveliest girs” he had ever known Yet both considered pointed ques- tions about their alleged betrothal “unfair” and said so, although nei- ther went so far as to enter even mild denial.
