PAGE CG—1 Serious Training Under Way for Griffs: Shires Rivals Ruth as Camp Attraction BUDDY MYER SIGNS: DONS RUBBER SHIT Reynolds Shows Up in Top Shape—Denies Sliding Technique Is Faulty. BY TOM DOERER. ILOXI, Miss, March 1— Messrs. Carl Reynolds, late of the Chicago White Sox; Bobby Burke of no hit fame and Buddy Myer, the dazzling two-bag man, donned themselves in a set of those nice, white suits this morning to frolic with Mr. Griffith’s pitchers and catchers, glready veteran training campers. of Bty)bby it can be said that he is st as slim as a cloak model and as anguid looking as ever, thank you. Though, it might be added, that when he went galloping after some bunts, under the gaze of Griff and his stafl, Bob was exactly 1!, pounds overweight, but the searching eye of Mike Martin, the demon trainer, was upon him at a glance and before the morning shenani- gans were over Bob had come up and confessed. Myer in Rubber Shirt. And in the case of Buddy Myer, who, by the way, walked right up to Griff with & pen in his hand last night and signed, your correspondent is sorry to report that the black-haired boy from Ellis, Miss., was seen in a rubber shirt. And when your athlete is caught wear- ing one of those airless, tortuous arti- cles of training apparel it is a well Xnown fact that he has been confusing his calories with his proteins and his soup with his steak. But Buddy is & going man, He will learn. ‘While Mr. Burke delayed the for- mality of attaching his name to a con- tract until last night, the truth is that Bob agreed to Griff’s terms when he wired his okay to a telegram. ‘These formalities, after all, are bor- ing. Very much so to the press, whose representatives seem to have much dif- ficulty in keeping tabs on who has been up there on the second_floor tilting pens and verbs with Uncle Clark and those ‘who just went up to view the Gulf from an advantageous spot. Reynolds in Top Shape. Reynolds says he is in top shape and Jooks it. And he also adds that it would be a foolish wager to lay your lhuf’nphmnmf.hennemthemnot slide. Maybe he did not do much skidding into the bags with Chi and Donie Bush last year. And it is true that he pulled up with a bad left leg last August when he attempted to go into a bag. And he did not look so good going into second base on another occasion. last year, has ing with an outfit which has been be- hind in the day’s scores as often as the Phillies have been last i the National League. Carl was in less than 100 games last year doing active duty. He is credited with 118, but that takes in his pinch- hitting. And that, th he was a limper up there, Reynolds still had to play as a pinch- hitter. Reynolds is sure that with a fast club that takes its chances and a club that encourages base pilfering he will prove that the belief among the fans that he | is & poor base slider is a fallacy. | Babeock Is Sent Home. Lewis Babcock, the 18-year-old sand- lot player, who barely made Biloxi on & slim pockethook, was told to get back | home in Detroit by Walter Johnson yes- terday. After WaXer took a look at his work he had a talk with him and said his chances of getting into league base ball were meager. Lewis, after an outfield berth, was as green as a St. Patrick's day decoration in the tests. Camp now is taking on a bristling aspect. More boys are either heading this way or wiring that they are about to hop the rattlers to beat their time of arrival, next Monday. Miss Mildred Robertson is no longer out here on the veranda sunning herself. Instead, the rattle of her word-machine is humming like a machine-gun, as it taps off messages to the boys. Mike Martin, too, is being pressed now that at least one of the boys is in a rubber shirt and there are indications that an arm or two is soon going to hum a hymn of hate for its possessor. Mike is worried because he feels that the boys, now reaching an edge, will do something to either go over the point, or slow down to stay let down. It i5 the dangerous period for the pitchers and catchers, and Mike begins to put up s stiff fight to hold the flock at their edge because he has to work with individuals and not the group as & mass Seme Startling Statistics. Let me tell you something in bare facts to show you what Mike is up against. This morning. Big Fred Mar- berry, the prize strawberry in the pitch- ing patch, tipped the scales at exactly 25 pounds lighter than he was at this time last year, and 15 pounds lighter than when he pulled up toward the fag end of last year, when he blazed a hot trail of 16 and 4. Put these figures in your hat and Juggle them, and when you get around to add them up remember that I told you that Gen. Al Crowder had spent 2 Winter of hard work, pitching and arm strengthening. Crowder, too, is— and I am giving you his word to me— nds less than he was at this time t year and in better shape to pitch @ league game at this moment than he was during the first two weeks of last n The general hgd 18 and 11 last semester. He promises to clip six ball games off that lost list this year, be- cause he feels that he is going to get them by starting off on the right leg. From now on the battle is going to get stiff or I miss my guess. I'm taking my tip from the manner in which the. trainer is starting to fit :“pd;‘:; ‘;?:pshup.

LARK GRIFFITH'S finesse in contractual confabs never has been better illustrated than this Spring. Shortly after the Washing- ton club mailed its usual batch of documents this Winter re- ports from various sections of the country led the fans to be- lieve there would be a small army of holdouts to contend with. But what has happened? All the allegedly balking athletes, with the sole exception of Bob Burke, accepted terms in time to get to work when they were due. The slim southpaw contrived to miss a week of toil and is supposed to have carried his point in regard to salary, but the chances are he finally got just what the canny chieftain originally intended to give him. ed Marberry and Roy Spen- cer, who alone were expected to g;ove problems, hopped on the nd wagon at their first con- ference with the boss, and the trio still to be dealt with un- doubtedly will do the same thing. It may develop that Sam West, Heinig Manush or Joe Judge, who scheduled to re- port next nday, will prove real stubborn, but the odds are all against it, especially if Griff can jockey them into a corner and transfix them with his hypnotizing orbs.

Off to a slow start, and fin- the same way, the card proved a disappointment to the ringworms, many of whom in- dicated their appraisal by walking out before the pro- gram was completed. Only two of the five bouts, none of which produced a knockdown, was at all inter- esting, but one of them at least proved something—the Jallos-Burns affair. / In this the Greek from Cleveland again demonstrated he is a better boy than the Baltimorean which confirms the impression formed by a majority of the customers who saw their first clash at Port- ner’s two weeks ago, when the referee ruled otherwise.

Moore is rather optimistic as to pros- pects for the season, though several capable players, who provided most of the team’s batting strength last season, have been lost by graduation.

Other experienced material at hand includes Leo Hilleary, catcher (has ever there been a time when Western has not had a Hilleary?); Earl Wilhoite, second baseman; Lloyd Schneider, shortstop, and Jimmy Keith, outfielder. Dependables who have been lost in- clude Roy Yowell, catcher; Tom Oliver, center fielder; Bob Fletcher, third base- man, and Clarence Fox, first sacker. A 2l1-game schedule has been ar- ranged for the Georgetowners. St. Albans, to be met on the Cathe- dral School diamond April 5, will be Western's first opponent.

Delaney a Question Mark Chicago Lad as Yet Unable to Demonstrate His Wares as a Boxman. BY TOM DOERER. ILOXI, Miss., March 1—Of the seven tremulous young men here battling for pitch- ing and catching berths on the Washington ball club, least seems to be known of the hurling possibilities of young Mike De- laney, the Chicago right-hander. Mike’s introduction to the club occurred in Chicago, at the White Sox park, last Summer, when he blandly walked into the Griff club house and asked Walter Johnson to give him a trial with the outfit. Walter sent the player out with Ed Gharrity for a trial spin on the mound and Eddie’s report influenced Walter to ask Mike to report to training camp at Biloxi this year. Prior to the slim workout at the Sox park Mike had gone South with the Boston Braves, under McKechnie, the tutor and boss of the feathered tribe, who likes his men seasoned. His sojourn at St. Petersburg in 1931 was short. He served up a few to the batters for the Braves and then was let loose with the advice to get more seasoning. And that's what the Chicago college boy is trying to do down here. Hoping that he can attain enough polish to get & berth somewhere in base ball during the coming season. After looking him over at Chi, Johnson sent him to Youngstown, where Mike reported just as the season was closing. He won one and lost one. Down here in the grapefruit circuit the chestnut-haired, trim-built rookie has yet had no chance to show what he possesses. With the others, Johnson has kept him down to light throwing and it will not be until the latter part of the week before any sort of a line on his capabilities will be garnered. Mike is a graduate of St. Viator College, Chicago, Ill, where he starred in base ball, basket ball and foot ball. He was both an outfielder and a pitcher at school and is said to be able to clip the ball a little better than most young throwers, He played in the backfield on the | hiy grid eleven and was rated as bel fast, shifty and smart. In basket he was a guard, later entering the game as an official in Chicago. During the Summer he attended classes at the American College of where B puapaco to (ke up PRV where he prepa: - cal tutoring should his base ball plans go amiss. He is s splendidly developed young- stex, weighiog e o ing, in height, feet 10 inches. Clark Griffith, out every morning scrutinizing his lettuce patch of pitch- ers, is holding back his report on Mike until the collegian can get down to where he can throw over a few of the kind of pellets Ed and Walter say he can deliver. LEONARD RETAINS RING CLEVERNESS Ex-Lightweight King Wins Over McMahon at Boxing, but Doesn’t Fight. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, March 1.—Down the splintery aisle of a rickety little fight club, St. Nicholas Arena, where the balconies hang down | over the ring and a dollar buys & re- served seat, stalked an old familiar fig- ure in an old familiar raggedy bath robe—Benny Leonard, undefeated light- weight champion of the world. It was “Benneh,” coming back to seek the glory he knew more than 10 years ago. His comeback started last Summer, but last night was the first genuine test. Climbing in through the other side of the ring was Bill McMahon from the West Side, young, rough and tough, un- dismayed. Leonard bowed. The bell rang and Benny sidled out, thick about the body, but not fat, for all the world like the old Leonard except for the front of his head, where the hair was carefully combed to disguise its thinness. McMahon rushed in, wild-swinging youth, and up went both of Benny's arms, catching the punches. They danced in the open, Benny lightly poised on his toes, and left jabs spat- tered all over the young Irishman's features. So it went, with slight variations, through 10 rounds, the old man of the ring boxing beautifully, cutmane! the e shaky spots, 8 Leonard that tired easily. But even so, Benny won 8 of the 10 rounds, though several were very close. He weighed 1513 pounds, far above the 133 he used to make for his light- weight title weighed 149 pounds.

BOUTS QUITE TAME Gelb Victor in Colorless Final. Lawson Gives Best Entertainment. ISTS flew, often with teling effect, in the stately Ritchie Coliseum at University of Maryland last night, but the crowd that turned out for the District Bicentennial Sports Committee’s first show failed to get much kick from the ring performances. Each of the five bouts went the limit, with only three being more than mild affairs, and that did not go well with the boys who expect everything in a fighting way when they pay their hard eoin through the ticket window. A mystifying decision following the second bout of the evening did much to take the edge off the affair for the nearly 3,500 fans present—2,482 paid— and when the final came on they were in no mood to be satisfied with an exhibition that needed only an orches- tra to convert it into a dance hall feature. Orchestrs Would Have Helped. Miki Gelb of the Bronson stable, said to have been bantam champion of Hungary at one time, and Dick Welsh, pride of Granby street, Norfolk, did the toe dancing in the wind-up. Welsh did not appear disposed to mix it with his opponent and Gelb was utterly umable to give the bout any color. However, the New York Hungarian managed to hit often and solidly enough to get an eight-round decision. That fuzzy decision came after Al Trainor of Philadelphia, and Billy Strickler of this town, oversized middle- weights, plugged through eight rounds. Trainor was all over Strickler much of the first seven rounds and though Billy came back for & rousing finish he looked a loser in every way. But a decision in Strickler's favor proved everybody except the judges and the referee wrong. Lawson Aroused Crowd. Eric Lawson, the Newport News Swede, and Vince Forgione, Philadel- phia, fighting in the 160’s, aroused the crowd more than any other pair. La son showed a lightning left jab and a punishing left hook and battered For- gione freely. Forgione, who displayed ability to take plenty, was careless with his swings and several times landed low These blows all but had Lawson out in | the eighth, but the Swede got & Wwell deserved decision. | Louis Jallos of Cleveland got back at | Bobby Burns pf Baltimore for the treat- | ment received in_their recent bout at | Alexandria when Burns was &n unpopu- | lar victor. .All decisive rounds of the | eight in the semi-windup went to Jallos.

Pete Powell, the Newport News sailor, and Joey Schwartz of Baltimore, ban- tams, opened the show with a four- round draw. ‘The gate totaled $4,160, but after the boxers and the Maryland State Athletic Commission got their cuts little was left for the Bicentennial Sports Committee.

BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. T. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 1—He's just a great big Irish boy, with a shock of curly hair parted in the middle, a broad grin, a liking for cigars and unbounded confidence in himself. But he has color, has Art Shires, and today his come- back after a big year in Double A company is the talk of the major league training camps. No high-priced rookie, not even the neighboring nabob himself, Babe Ruth, has attracted more attention among the natives this Spring than Shires, a Na- tlonal Leaguer for the first time in his life and the first baseman of the Boston Braves, with no strings whatever at- tached to the job. “Sure, I like to clown,” Shires told me as he blew himself to some smoke- rings and settled back for just one more interview. “I've had.®& good time in life for a young fellow; done a lot of foolish things, lost most of my money—$23,000 of it in one chunk out in Hollywood about a year ago.
