CORB HAS TW NUTS TO CRACK Must Bolster Up Infield and Pitching Staff to Stay in ace. DETROIT, Mich, March 13,—Two “major” problems confront Tyrus Raymond Cobb as he inaugurates his pecond attempt to pilot the Tigers into a pennant. The Detroit “ender must bolster up his infield, wrecked last year when the keystone combination gaye way, and from a coterie of a dozen pitch- ‘ers taken into the training camp at Angusta, Ge, eight or ten must be found to bear the brunt of the com- ing campaign. On last year's show- ing, the catching and outfield corps can hold their own with anything in the American league, while Blue and Jones, 2lso veterans, are without com- petition for their places at first and third this season. If “Pep” Young ts back in form that marked his playing prior to last year, Manager Cobb's worries about fecond base wili be ended; if not, George Cutshaw, the National league veteran, is expected to have the call for the post, unless ona of the young- sters aspiring for a berth, shows ma- jor league ability. ‘ At short, the field probably will be open to recruits only, as Flagstead, who filled in last year after Donie Bush was benched, is classified ax an outfielder. Cobb has let it be known that seven {infielders will be carried this year, in order to assure plenty of utility strength, and with Blue and Jones assured of their jobs, the fight for the other five places lies between Young, Cutshaw, 8. T. Barnes, from Kalamazoo; D. C. Clark, Wichita Falls; Fred Haney, Omaha; J. L, Mann, Evansville; E. E./Rigney, Fort Worth; F. C. Herman, Edmonton, . Alta., and H. G. Merritt, who was with the Tigers in the latter part of 1921. Rigney. who cost Detroit $7,500, is considered one of the. leading candi- dates for short, and glowing advance OPEN EVENINGS SHOP AT NIGHT Battling Ross Battling Ross of Chihuahua, Mexieo, Who Will Measure Gloves With Speedball Hayden at the Iris ‘Theater Tomorrow Night. notices have also been received Mann. Tiger adherents point to the 1921 records as indicative of the task Cobb faces in whipping his pitching staff into shape. Of the hurlers counted as regulars, Cole alone was credited with more victories than defeats. the figures being 7-4. Leonard, another lefthander, led the local pitchers in point of effectiveness, with 3.74 earn- ed runs per game, and hoe ranked fourteenth in American league aver- ages. The other, Oldham, HoMlings Dauss and Ehmke trailed far behind Seven youngsters, including Stew art ‘who saw service with the club last year, constitute the additional ma- terial on which Cobb has to draw. Of the lot, principal atttention is center- ing on Herman Piette, and Sylvester Johnson. the pair of righthanders, for whom the club paid around $40,000 to Portland. The catching staff which Iast sea- son consisted of Bassler, Woodall and Manion, has been augmented by R. H. Spencer, from Raleigh, N. C. Cobb plans to carry only threo receivers, and the veterans are expected to have the preference. Barring injury or {Mness, Cobb, Hellman and Veach will likely con- stitute the Tiger outfield when the bell rings on opening day. If Cobb keeps five outfielders to round out the legal complement of 25 men, the other places furnish a contest for Flagstead, Robert Fothergill, recalled from Rochester, and Johnny Mo- of ——_——_—————.

PAGE FIVE The notoriety of the purchase of Jimmy O'Connell for $75,009 by the ianta from the San " has a different scy ciligical effect on various players. Everyone believes that the notoriety gained by O'Connell through the sale will mean considerable ‘razing’ from the bleachers. O'Connell himself says he expects it “but it won't bother me.” On the other hand “Willie Kamm,. another billiant star of the San Francisco team who is considered next in line to follow “V’Connell to the majors, at a big purchase price says he would not like to be tn O'Connell's shoes and that such notoriety would both- er him (Kamm). “Yes, I guess the fans will kid me about being a $75,000 beauty,” says O'Connell, “but that won't bother me. I know I'm no beauty and I haven't $75,000, so what's the use. Yaturaliy { would rather have ther. ng for tae—it sort of helps a fellow—yet I know razzing ts a part of the baseball profession, and when a fellow gets a certain amount of It then he does not pay any more at tention to it. I got my share after the Chicago Cubs offered $10,000 for me before I had played a game in the coast league For a while it bothered me.” On the other hand Wite Kamm shows an altogether differencet fee! Ing. He says: “I think O'Connell fs a marked player and will be for some time to come. Personally I would not like to be in his placa The fans will undoubted!y expect too much from him and if he makes a boot or fails to come through in a pinch, they surely wil n a good time. It is all very well to say that their abuse does not bother you. but it does just the same. I hope when I am sold that i* will be for an ordi nary sum, lacking in the national notoriety that O'Connell rarelveit Tt may be al! right for the “gate’ but that ddes not help a. player's personal feelings in the matter. 1 know when a man climbs the ladder and into fame he is more or less a public character, but I don’t want to climb any $75,000 ladder.” Both Kamm and O'Connell aro showing up in good shape at the training camp at Boyes Springs Calif.
