SPORTS. Mobile Tilt Tests Griff Infield Rooks : Dodgers Build With Lot of New Hands BOKEN IS FAVORED FOR UTILITY BERTH Considered More Versatile Than Travis—Regulars in Tussle Tomorrow. SBpecial Dispatch to The Star. ILOXI, Miss., March 11.— This is the day for a num- ber of youngsters wearing Washington uniforms io strut their stuff when Clark Qrif- fith’'s team meets the Atlanta Crackers at Mobile. The game, first of the practice series, may mean the making or marring of several promising rookies. | Three young hurlers will bear thc | burden for the Nationals. They are Edward Linke, Chicago heavyweight,; Bob Friedrichs, former Holy Cross Col- lege star, and Bud Thcmas, who made a name for himself on Washington sandlots. Two other youngsters-—Cecil Travis and Bob Boken—will get a chance to display their wares in tne infleld. Botin are trying hard 1or the exira barth as utility infielder, but Boken, the Lithu- anian from Marysville, Iil, seems to have the edge. Boken is tall and angular, but he has a way of handling himself both at kat and in the field that brings a pleasant sparkie to the eyes of Manager Joe Cronin, Travis, who played with Chattanooga last season, probably will bs farmed out with another team, where will have the opportunity to play every day. 'OMORROW three other young piichers will have their trials in a return game with the Crackers | here. Bll McAfee, who was putting | them over for the University of Michi- gan a few years ago; John Burrows, the Phoenix, Ariz., high school boy, and Jack Russell, who is young in years but a veteran of seven seasons in the Amer- ican League, will do the mound work. Manager Cronin will work his regu- Jars in other positions. Kuhel will be on first, Myer on second, Cronin on short and Bluege on third. In the outfleld will be Goslin, Manush and Schulte. Sewell probably will do the catching, with some relief from Berg. Clif Bolton, the Chattanooga young- ster with a mighty arm, was Cronin's catching selection for today. Clif has developed rapidly this season under the | tutelage of Sewell and Berg and is cer- tain to bear considerable of the backstop work for the Nationals this @eason. GRImTH yesterday saw possibilities | of developing a new first baseman | when Dave Harris stepped out and | covered the initial sack. He handled | himself well. Without Griffith or| Cronin knowing it, Harris bought him- | self a first baseman's mitt and had been practicing at the sack. “I would like to see Harris develop as a first baseman,” said Griffith. It | weuld give us a streng man to fall back | on should Kuhel be hurt.’ Harris has the punch at bat and I would just as soon see him up at the plate as any man in the league.” But it appears that Bob Boken would be the first one to be called upon to cover first in the event something hap- pened to Kuhel. The former Kansas City player can cover any of the infield positions with equal dexterity. G. W. AND MARYLAND BILLED BY W. C. NINE Returns to Chestertown School Diamond After Three Years.

Shadows of the Past BY L C. BRENNER. VER hear of the Streater Cyclone? Some fighter, was Billy. Ask any old-timer who saw this Chi- cago whirlwind in action—he'll tell you. There's one man in particular who can ccnvince you that there never was a gamer, more 8ggressive battler than the Sireater. Jack McAuliffe is his name, and Jack shou'd know. for he tested the fighting heart of Billy on three occasions and each fight was a humdinger. The Streater Cyclone is a_ fre- quenter of all important athletic events in the Windy City, especially boxing, but he plays no active part in his former profession. He is employed at the Arlington Race Track as superintendent and his duties th-re keep him too busy for any other work. Pilly will best be remembered for his fights with McAuliffe, one of BILLY MYER. which, on September 5, 1892, took place as part of th: famous three- day championship carnival at New Orleans which wound-up with Sul- ven losing the heavyweight title to Corbett. ‘The McAuliffe-Myer fight wes ended by a knockout in the fifleenth rcund, Jack carrying off the honors and thcusands of dollars exchanging hands.

No announeement was made concern- ing the salary to be paid to Gehrig, but a reasonable estimate is $25,000.

By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. IAMI, Fla, March 11.— When the 1933 Brooklyn Dodgers make their first appearance before the rabid Brooklyn fans at Ebbets Field in an exhibition tilt with the Yankees on April 8, the home folks won't know & number o? thai. Of a baker's dozen more or less re- cently acquired Dodgers now busily cavorting about Miami Field under the watchful direction of Manager Max Carey and his two lieutenants, Casey Stengel and Otto Miller, probably not more than half have been seen in ac- tion in the Gowanus region before. There are, for instance, seven new pitchers. They are Walter Beck, Ray Benge, Owen Carroll, Rosy Bill Ryan, Ray Lucas, Thornton Schwenk and John Van Der Meer. Four inflelders, Joe Judge, Jake Flowers, Dick Siebert and Jimmy Jordan; William A. (Chick) Outen, catcher, and Charley Sheerin, cutfielder, have been added. Benge and Carroll have been familiar sights in Brooklyn in alien livery, the former with the Phillies and the latter with the Cincinnati Reds. Ryan may | be remembered with the Giants several | years ago and Lucas more recently un- he McGraw banner. | wenk, a tall southpaw, was with | the Dodgers briefly last year, but Beck and Van Der Meer are newcomers. even new hurlers Beck is ing and is being rated by as onc of his starting pitch- | ers. ~This 6-fcot 2 inch, 190-pound | right-hander “has what it takes” to | win ball games, according to Carey. | “He has a great delivery, speed, curves and control,” said Carey, “out better than ali he has pitching sensc. He knows what to do with his stuff.” Beck last year won 27 and lost 6 games with Memphis, piiching 15 com- plete contests. He is 27 years old and nas absorbed plenty in his varied minor league experience.

As one star leaves he has another ready to step into the open gap. There were Mort Kaer and Morley Drury— then Saunders and Shaver. As Shaver dropped out there was Mohler to take his place. When Mohler was injured Jones had Griffith ready and when Griffith needed a rest there was Wes Warburton to start trouble for the ition. Jones will have Griffith and War- burton ready for the Fall campaign of 1933. The depression may have cracked a number of enterprises here and there, but it made no dent on foot ball at Southern California. The Trojans went on packing the big stadium last Fall with an attend- | ance record that left all others behind. ‘They will play to their full share of spectators this coming Autumn, and they will also be looking at another sirong team. Last Fall Howard Jones had to dig up & new backfield, with Shaver, Pinck- ert, Musick and Mallory missing. His_ big job, starting in the next few days of Spring training. will be to fill the gaps left by Ernie Smith and Brown, his two giant tackles. And the gaps Smith and Brown left belong in the canyon class. They were tackles that a coach dreams about, tackles who don't happen along every other week. This section is still well stocked with great foot ball materfal—big, fast entries who know their stuff. And the job of beating Southern Colifornia is still the big job of foot ball.
