TUESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1925 CFAATORS TAKE ON MANY VETS FOR THIS YEAR Gnffith Lines Up Hurl- ing Staff Who Have Been Long in Service. WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—(By The Associated Press.)\—With the cry in other cities for young blood, Clark Griffith, proud president of a world’s championship baseball club, anxious to hold his team at the top has thrown all precedent to the winds and injected into his Uneup a@ sprinkling of tried veterans for the 1925 campaign. 3 Manager Stanley Harris will take to Tampa for spring training, a pitching staff whose mainstays have been for years familiar figures on major leagye fields. In addition to Walter Johnson, who now is ex- pected to join the team as a result of his failure to buy a Pacifle coast franchise, the mound crew will in- clude George Mogr:dge and Tom Zachary, lagt year's southpaw bul- warks; Dutch Reuther, obtained from Brooklyn; Stanley Coveleskie, bought from Cleveland; Vean Gregg, the veteran from Seattle; Fred Mar- » brilliant relief hurler last Curley Ogden, Joe Martina, Zahniser, Benson Brillheart, year; Paul Allan Russell, another relief pitcher; recruit from Memphis; James McNamara, obtained from Wichita, Kans., at a fancy price, and several other youngsters. The club, according to Griffith and Harris, has been greatly bolstered in reserve strength. Weakness in this respect almost lost the world's series for the team, and immediately after the champlonhip they began efforts to build up a machine which would run more smoothly in the face of injuries. Mike McNally, former Yankee substitute! infielder, was obtained in a dea] with the Boston Red Sox in which third Baseman Prothro was sent to Boston. Spencer Adams, a Pacific Coast league shortstop, also was bought. These two, with Judge, Kelly, a Harris, Peckinpaugh, Bluege and Shirley will make up the infield eligibles. In the outfield, Rice, Goslin, Mc- Neely, Matthews, Carlyle, leading Southern Association hitter last sea- son; Leibold and Rhinehart, a South Atlantic league recruft, are avail- able. Rice and Goslin will have no trouble holding their jobs, but Mc- Neely is expected to have a hot fight, despite his great work of last season and his $50,000 hit that won the last game of the world's series. Carlyle 1s expected to furnish keen competition for a regular place in the lineup. ; Harris will take the veterans of his club first to Hot Springs, as he did last year. This plan, he be- wieves, permitted the club to enter "the season in better condition than for several years. It also brought the veterans up to an even stand- ing with the younger men in this respect. President Griffith has given no indication of a desire to change the Tampa training quarters. The Tampa club of the Florida State league has been able to put teams in the field for*practice with the Nationals in years past and the plan has worked well for both clubs. John McGraw's New York Giants will furnish a good part of the op- position for the nationals on the spring training jaunt northward, the two teams resuming hostilities where they left off in the world’s serles. After coming through that series with a club handicapped by, weak- ness, Manager Harris feels confident that he will duplicate his success. He believes that the club is a great deal stronger than last year. Pr of the team depend a great deal on the effectiveness of Johnson, who has reported himself ondition. It is pointed out , that Harris will have four ders, Reuther, Zachary, to put against teams which have shown a weakness for portside hurlers and much is expected by Washington fans from this combination. Longmont, Colorado, lays claim to the largest plant in the world devot- ed exclusively to canning vegetables. World Results By Leased Wire ZIVI¢ BEATS TENDLER: WILL SEEK CROWN PITTSBURGH, Pa., Jan. 20.—Jack Zivic of Pittsburgh, conqueror of Lew Tendler of Philadelphia in a furious bout here last night, will go after the lightweight champion- ship recently vacated by Benny Leonard, if he can make the weight, James Bronzon, Zivic’s manager, an- nounced today. Bronzon sald he would place Zivic in the hands of a trainer for 30 days to develop the local fighter’s possibilities as a lightweight. At the end of that time he expect® to know Zivic's possibilities. Zivic, who weighed 144 pounds in last night's fight, scored a technical knockout over Tendler in the fifth round when the latter's seconds tossed in a towel to save Tendler from further punishment, .

There is an earnest plot on foot to have this young man meet Harry Greb, the middleweight cham- as J pion, at some date to be fixed. But if Greb maintains the atthude he has taken toward Delaney in the past year, it will take a lot of dicker- ing to get hin in the ring with Jack Greb, it would seem, than most people. He was ¢ Delaney at a time when everyone wondered why he was so elusive in his attitude.

They were turning ‘em away half an hour be- fore the first bout started and the interior of the Garden by the time Delaney and Flowers climbed through the ropes was bulging from the ground floor to the roof with nearly 14,000 spectators, Interest was keen and the general belief was that the tigerish scrap- per from Dixie would cut his white opponent into strips and: ribbons. But this should be recorded—not a’l the wise money was placed on Flowers. <A lot of it was at odds of 2 to 1, even 3to1. But there’was a little inside crowd who appeared.to be taking all the Flowers money they could find. The reason why was related to the writer shortly be- fore the battle. It seems, at least, this {s the way the story went, that Tiger went to Philly to meet Jack Townsend, another negro fighter, a second rater, and that before the fight Flowers told Townsend it would be merely a_ nico friendly match and so to take it easy. Townsend !s alleged to have sald that this sulted him. So he came in at Flowers when the bout started pretty wide open. And the first thing he knew, he got two wallops on the chin that sent him down for a count. When he got up, Town- send's head had cleared and he was mad clean through. “Ah don't call that no friendly bout,” he called. With that, he waded into Flow- ers, according to the yarn, and gave merry pasting. ger acted as though all the pub. licity, all the back pats he had re.

So the first round ended, Flow- ers throwing a million gloves about the ring and Delaney sending in that educated left of his. The crowd was wild, of course; Flowers was performing according to specifica- tions. Then came the second round. Flowers started right in and there was a rally and then Delaney was forced across the ring to the ropes. Here he set himself and as Flowers came in wide open Jack copped him on the chin. That was all. Flowers was not in full possession of his faculties for five minute: COAST LEADS IN GRID GAME So Says Henry Farrell In Reviewing Play In California. BY HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Jan. 20. (United Press}—If comparative scores can be taken at their face value in ap- praising the quality of football—and there is no other way by which comparisons can be computed—the Pacific coast is the national football leader in theory and in practice, As a result of post-season inter- sectional games between California and teams representing the East and the Midwest, it was shown that only a wonder team, such as carried the colors of Notre Dame last season, can compete with a class of football that has prevailed on the far west- ern coast for several years. Missouri University, champions of the strong Missouri Valley Confer. ence and a victor over Chicago Unt- versity, the champions of the West- ern conference, was beaten by the University of Southern California. 8 use, a strong Eastern team, that did not live up to early sea- son expectations, was also downed by the same Southern California eleven. Pennsylvania University, consid- ered by its boosters and many crit: ics to have been the best team in the Bast, was beaten rather easily by the Unievraity of California, a re- markable team that hasn't lost a gume in flve years. There are some experts who did not agree that Pennsylvania was the best of the Eastern teams, Yale and Dart- mouth were not defeated, although Yale wus tied twice and Dartmouth engaged in one no-decision contest with Yale. Pennsylvania, however, was a good team and at east one of the three best in the East and when Cal- {fornia defeated Penn it scored a vic- tory over a representative Eastern team in a year when there were sev- eral very fine teams_jn the East. Notre Dame's victory over the good Stanford eleven was the only important game in which that sec- ton east of the Rockies showed any advantage in competition with the California organizations, , Stanford can find some consola- tion In the figures which go to show that Notre Dame was outplayed, Stanford gained more ground, exec. uted more forward passes and Played in. spots a game that was better than Notre Dame's.

Pia. AN M’GRAW PLANS FOR BIG YEAR NEW YORK, Jan. 20. (By the As- sociated Press)—The New York Glants are building formidably for the 1925 campaign, a pennant strug: gle that promises to put the morale of the National league champions to & severe test. John McGraw, gray haired chief- tain of the club, knows his team faces a strenuous fight and realizes the handicaps it will encounter as an outgrowth of the 1924 bribery scandal. But McGraw's confidence in his outfit is none the less keen as the veteran leader set a new modern maps his 1925 plan of attack. The record last year when he won his fourth straight pennant and he hopes to make it five straight this year, thus setting a mark for all time. McGraw has made no radical con- ditions and contemplates none in the array that won the 1924 flag but is concentrating his efforts on bol stering tho battery departments.
