Team Is Quandary If these four pitchers should get off to a good start and keep the pace for the season, there is no tell- ing how high the Braves will go in| the race. Back in 1914, the team showed no greater promise than it does this spring and no one will ever forget that skyrocket clip that brought that club to a pennant and world championship. Joseph Brandt and Arthur De- laney, Coast League pitchers last year, are two of the recruits who have caught the manager's eye. First base is officially in the pos- session of Dick Burrus. Jack told Richard that he would have no com- petitors for the job and to go out and hustle. The swarthy Carolinian has more than done so. Andy High and Doc Gautreau will probably alternate at third base dur- ing 1928. The midget Gautreau has been wedged out of his former perch at secon ' base, but he still has hopes of being a regular. Lance Richbourg will be in right when the season opens and left field will go to either Jack Smith, former Cardinal, or Eddie Moore, a reformed second baseman. Smith getting along in years, but can still massage the old onion, while Moore has shown much improvement since en- tering this new field. ‘CANDO WINS CAGE TITLE American Legion Quint Cap- tures State.

Trish Not So Good Since Jchn_ L. Sullivan loct the heavyweight championship and Me- jhaven’t had much to rave about in the two most popular fighting | classes. Gene Tunn2y is of Irish descent, it is true, but the boys in the gas house district never lifted him to their shoulders becausc he is rated by them a3 “lace curtain Irish.” Among the jlightweights, there has been ro one to parade in a green robe because the class has been dominated for years by Italian and Jewish fighters. BE GREATEST ! | Auliffe hung up the gloves, the Irish | th, DISCUS SHOULD BE ‘SCALED’ FROM HAND TO The first point to be learned in throwing the discus is the method of “scaling” the weight. The dis- cus is held flat in the palm of the hand, fingers well spread, the tips only extending over the edge. The thumb is held straight. The discus is “scaled” off the hand so that it leaves from the ferefinger and_ not from the oat of the palm. To learn how to sli the weight off the hand, the youth} should stand and swing the arm! back and forth slowly to give/ momentum. Then te disc must be released so that it sails properly, the flight being upward and forward, with the weight seeming to lie flat in e air. This work may be done without use of the circle since form is the object. Daily practice will eliminate the tendency of the discus to turn upward slightly or to “wobble.” A final pull of the fingers as the platter is released cruses it to spin in the air. After “scaling” is perfected, it is beneficial to take two short steps forward and throw. This teaches one to time the swing of the arm with the foot movement. When Baby Face helped tuck the helpiess Terris to his corner and then slipped into a bright green robe with a big harp on the beck his cornor we3 stormed. New York always is wiil- ing to give any little boy a great ibig hand, but in the memory cf the oldest fight reporters no fightcr was carried out of the ring on the should- ers of his admirers in New York as McLernin was, Hump Sheds Tears Oid Jos Humphries, Rickard’s “de- Mon announcer, who gets tears in his eyes n the name of Terry Mc- C.vern is mentioned, gulped a couple of times after the demonstration end said: “Looks like another Tcrry has come for the gas house boys.” set the table for young McLarnin with a championship and a great foz- tune. Since Benny Leonard was in his prime, the lightweight class has gone into stagnation because there were no great punchers in the clacs. Lightweights also have been fore to play second fiddle to gr-et hai weight champions who. ways seemed to come contemporaneously. When McAuliffe was the lightweight champion, perhaps the greatest of a!l of them, John L., wes in his prime. McAuliffe almost had to do valet duty for the big follow to keep him- self noticed. Benny Leonard, another of the greatest lightweights, hed to take second place on the bill because he hed as competition the grcetest drawing card of all time, Jack Dempsey. Is Opportune Tire Now little McLarnin is coming on at a most opportune time for a gzoat lightweight. Dempscy is ot of the jicture, Even if he docs fight again, e will not be fighting a3 the cham- pion and he certainly hasn’t more than one fight left in him. When he goes, he may take tie days of the two million dollar fights with him. In_ no spirit of Windness, it must be said that Tunn2y is: not popular with the masses and that he never will be. He hasn't the person- ality or the instincts of a show- man. But little McLarnin has plenty of “it.” If-the Baby Face shov!d do to Sammy Mandell what he did to 'Ter- ris there are no bounds for his pos- sibilitics. He would bz the outstand- ing fighter of the day and by fight- ing oftener than the Rear champion is permitted to fight his title might become the most valu- able one in the business. May Change Mird With Tunney demanding two sum- mer fights of him and with a great rejuvenation of inte-est in the light- weight class falling down on him, Rickard probably is wondering if too Zach of @ good thing isn’t to be de- plored. . Although he is a Pacific co.st boy, New York has taken McLarnin.as its own. And when New York gets steamed up about a fightcr, business is forced ‘upon the promoters. Considerine the change of ‘the situation in the heavyweight class, caused by the temporary retiroment It looks as if the gods may heve}|} In traveling across the circle, every effort should be made to keep the throwing arm toward the rear of the arm; this is ‘alled “drag- cing” the rm. As an aid to this, one can mast the style of holding the discus in the hand with palm up and the arm bent at the elbow and reserved so that the platter rests against the small of the back. It remains thus until one is ready for the final heave. At the instant the final drive is started, the arm must be well be- hind so that all the power of | | GET DISTANCE body, shoulder and arm can be utilized. The entire circle must be made use of and the shot put finish is em} sited to prevent falling. The right leg stretches back. The swing must be rapid to give Proper momentum. One must avoid hesitation, for any delay will, of course, subtract from the total dis- tance which would have been gain- ed from a smooth, continuous action from start to finish of the throw. This shows the proper method of holding the discus during the prac-' tice swings. Note how the disc is held in the hand and how the thrower is poised on one foot ready to make the turn. ‘(By The Associated ress) SENATORS BOUNCE ROOKS Tampa, Fla.—Eight rookies were cut loose from the Washington Sen- ators over the week-end, six games were on schedule this week.

The Cohen is Andy, a smart, hustling infielder of 24, who is only being asked to learn a new ge well enough to fill the big shoes of rs Hornsby, who will do his second basing this bel for the Braves. Manager John J. McGraw has named Cohen, who was a shortstop in the International League, to suc- ceed Hornsby. The veteran manag- er declares that he has given the place to the youngster with no mis- givings as to his ability to fill it. McGraw believes that the El Paso lad will develop into one of the ¢, greatest of the many second sackers who have passed in review before him in his 25 years as manager of the Giants. If the man who makes or breaks the Giants is right, his team will be in the thick of the pen- nant fight. It is conceded that no club can win a championship without a capable second baseman. Has the Ability to Hit Cohen has done everything asked of him thus far in the spring preparation. He has studiously sought to pte the polish mark- ing the thin dividing line between a major and minor league baseball te He has shown an ability to it and this may mean more in the Giant camp than in some others, for the New York pitchers have been putting something on the ball. Mc-, Graw is emphatic in his statement that it will net be “Cohen leaving the park” to paraphrase the young- ster’s story of Flannagan’s abrupt departure from the Buffalo park when Cohen was sent in to hit for Murphy. The remainder of the Giant in- field is firmly established. Bill Terry wil play first, Captain Travis Jackson will ably take care of short while Freddy Lindstrom _ protects third. _ Andy Reese will again be an extra infielder and Melvin Ott, who was an extra outfielder last season, may not have so far to go from the bench this year as he has been tak- ing a turn at the infield and mak- ing a go of it. The Giants will carry six outfield- ers throughout the season. Eddie Roush, who coparted from his cus- tom of years by joining his col- leagues at the training camp, will play center. He probably will be flanked by George Harper in right and Jim Walsh, late of the Braves, in left. Frank O’Eoul, once a pitch. er, will be retained, as will Leslie, Mann, who has long been a source of irritation to left hand pitchers. The sixth outfielder may be Arthur Jahn, drafted from Los Angeles. Hogan a Great Catcher Frank Hogan, procured from the Braves in the Hornsby trade and approved by McGraw as one of the great catchers of the game in the making, will get his experience by catching frequently. Hogan is of a hysique needing hard work and icGraw has plenty of it for him. Jank Cummings, a hard hitter, will be held in reserve and Jumbo Bar- rett, a home run hitter, in the South Atlantic association last year, may bat his way into the third place.
