- 12 Pitcher Francis Reaches Griffs’ Camp ‘SPORTS. SOUTHPAW FROM COAST IS A WELL BUILT CHAP Weighs About 175 Pounds and Resembles Zachary. Mike Martin Has Field in Fine Shape and Is Awaiting First Squad. Bpecial Dispatch to The Sta ’ I NAMPA, February 25.—Ray Franc rived from California and repo: direct from California, being a ing-looking youngster, twenty-two ye: is, left-hand pitching recruit, has ar- rted to Mike Martin. Francis came week on the road. He is a promis- ars old, five feet ten incheg in height and weighs around 175. In build he resembles Zachary. He said he was in shape to begin real training at once, as he has been doing light work for several weeks. Harry Courtney, another npitcher. | honed from Clearwater, where he as been sojourning, that he would | be here to welcome the advance| guard of Griffmen when they arrive. | Stanley Harris is in fine shape.| having played golf almost daily aty the Rocky Point links since he and Martin arrived. | Plant Field Is Ready. When the Griffmen arrive Monday ® playing fleld fully equal to that of ®ny big league training camp will be ready for them. Martin, half a dozen real helpers and a choice squad of volunteer advisers have worked wonders with Plant Field. The di mond that, when Martin landed here. Jooked more like one of the baitle areas of France than a ball yard, has, been torn up, raked up, plowed up, harrowed up, rolled down, tamped, re- grassed and converted into what It Was intended to be. The entire diamond has been made over. Martin has had every clump ©of crabgrass dug out by the roots and raked off, as every tuft of this grass, with its deep cluster of strong roots, made an obstacle much the same as & hickory peg driven into the ground; & gropnd ball, hitting one of the ! clumps, would have bounded in the air or in any of a dozen directions, and a player trying to field the ball would have been a subject for Gordon Keller Hospital, just across the street from Plant Field. , In addition. Mike has hauled clay ! and topsoil for the base paths, which were shallow trenches when he began work, and has filled, rolled and tamped the paths until they are as firm, smooth and level as any one could wish, and at tbe same time ai- ford a springy, elastic footing. He has done much the same kind of| work over the whole infield. which| has been regrassed and which gets an_all-day_sprinkling every day. The pitcher's box has been rebuilt and surfaced with the clay-topsoil mixture, and heavy rollers are firm- ing the lot down, So that no soft places will be found. i ¢ Mike Fond of Florida. ¢+ Martin is deeply intcrested in a roject to induce the sixteen major eague clubs to train in Florida. From his score of vears of major league expericnce, he declares that California, Texas or any other spot north of the Rio Grande, south of Canada and between the two oceans, are not in it with Florida as a train: ing ground for athletes. ““The teams could locate at any of sixteen or twenty or fifty places in Florida,” he said. “Practically any city in the state would make an ideal site, as far as climate and training season weather are concerned. With all of the clubs training in Florida. it shovld be easy to arrange short schedules of games between vAmeri- can and National League teams, add- ing a lot of interest to the training season work, and at the same lime helping out on expenses and stimu- Jating interest in base ball. I be- lieve the various boards of trade and chambers of commerce would 10 into this with the club owners, for the sake of the advertising. FIGHTING BALL PLAYER IS SIGNED BY DETROIT NEW ORLEANS, February 25— Joe Finae, local prize fighter and base ball player, has been signed by the Detroit Americans and will report to the Tiger training camp in Georgin this senson to try out for the shortstap position. Fisse batted over .300 in the Delta League in Missiusippl lust year. DEATH OF DILHOEFER HITS CARDS' CHANCES BY JOHN B. FOSTER. NEW YORK, February 25.—The St. Louis Nationals have been hard hit by the death of Will Dilhoefer, catcher and live-wire. Few realize to what extent Dilhoefer was of value to the St. Louis club. Last season he caught in seventy-nine games. Clemons took up the brunt of the work, as it was expected that he would this season, but Dilhoefer was in every game. When he wasn't be- hind the bat he was on the line as coach 2nd he was a peppery, intel- ligent, wide-awake young man on the bases who outwitted the Giants three or four times when they were trying i for the pennant in 1919, because he was emart enough to divine what they were after. Dilhoefer was not a catcher equal to the highest type in that position, but he was a bright plaver mentally. His physique was a little against him, He was too light, but not an ounce under weight in pluck. There wasn't a ball player who would stand up un- der anything more unflinchingly than he. Rickey had a team formed for 1922 | that looked good for the fight this summer, but he had not counted upon being compelled to develop another catcher. Had he reckoned with that he would perhaps not have permitted Gonzales, Bruggy and Daly to pass out of the National League. 1f he can get Schmidt away from Pittsburgh he had better go after him. Schmidt would make the St. Louis team, so far as his ability is concerned. = The principal necessity would be to get his ability working. Reds’ Catcher No'v a Coach. Astayanax Douglas. Cincinnati Na- tional catcher, has sigred a contract with the Amarillo (Texas) high school, to coach all branches of ath- letics. Douglas has not announced whether he will report to the Reds. although it is expected he will re- tire from base ball. “TEAM OF ALL NATIONS” - DESCRIBES THE 1922 REDS AT MORAN, manager of the Re P ds, is far from discouraged over the prospects of the Cincinnati club in the National League race this year, despite the fact that luminaries of such brightness as Heinie 'Groh, recently traded to the Giants, and Edd Roush, the outfielder with capitalistic ideas, will be numbered a “I can make no predictions at this time as to what the Reds are likely %o do,” is the way he puts it. “They will be a gamble because of the young players we may have to depend_ upon. 3¢ they“come through and I succeed n making a trade for another pitcher, @ right-hander, I am sure we will be n the first division. I was hoping to " yake a deal with the Glants for a * pitcher, and may succeed in closing one before we g0 on our training *rip. Aside from the pitching staff I think I am all set to give Cincinnati & pennant contender.” Although an _ Irishman himself, Moran plays no favorites. The variety of tongues on his infleld is unique. Daubert, an Alsatian, will be at first; Bohne, a Jew, will be at second; Cave- Rey, an Irishman, will be at short, and Pinelll, an Itallan, will cover third. In the event Fonseca replaces Daubert a Spaniard will be at the ini- tial sack. In addition to these nation- ities Moran_ has Adolpho Luque, a ban: Rube Marquard, a Frenchman, and Eppa Rixey, an American, on his team. “My club ought to be called the ®eam of all nations’™ said Moran. #] do not believe there is another club $n base ball with as many nationall- ¢les on it as mine. There is always more or less jealousy among players ‘who speak different languages That Delps to make a club, for one is al- Ways trying his hardest to outdo the other. They scrap when the least thing Soes wrong, and that Is what makes & club spirited on the field.” Moran declared that he expected “Petter results, although Eddie Roush and Heinie Groh will be numbered among the missing. Pat says the out- flelder will not be with him unless he changes his mind and accepts tho con- tract tendered him by the Cincinnast elub. If Roush does mot do this he will be permitted to remain on his farm in Indiana. Moran is not interested in Eoush so much as he is in his youngsters. With Groh on the New York club he will have an infleld composed >f voung- aters. The only veteran on it {s Dau- Dbert, and he may be relegated to the bench in favor of Fonseca.

Umps Fooled by Phantom Play, Calls Runner “Out” Playing “phantom” ball—go- ing right through all the mo- tions without a ball being -wan quite a practice stunt neveral years ago, and it made a great hit with the fans for a while.
