The crop of sore muscles today promised to come up to the usual second day standard. ~AFTER YouUR MORE FORTUNATE FRIENDS HAVE TotD You THEY WERE ON THEIR WAY SOUTH To PLAY GOLF Donovan was not in uniform, his two, assistants, Duke Farrell and Joe Kelley ters during the sted about two hours. The squad now on hand consists of pitchers, two catchers and three out- flelders; also Infielder *“Dolly” Stark from the Bronx, who came down to get the benefit of some spring train- ing with a major league club. Catcher, Al Walthers is nearing camp, accord- ing to word received from Montgom- ery yesterday. No Word from Caldwell. Of the players ordered to report here for work the only absentees are Caldwell and Dan Tipple, pitchers, and Olson, catcher. No word has come from Caldwell and ' it is not known whether or not he intends to report; Tipple's plans also are in doubt. He refused to sign the con- tract which was sent to him some time ago and it is not likely that the club officials are planning to make any determined effort to get him into line. Olson is semi-professional catch- er and no worry is being felt about his coming to camp. Shaw, the catcher drafted from the Macon club -last fall, showed that he is in pretty good condition' by his work in the opening day’'s practice. He is a big fellow, broad of shoulder and not of the lumbering type so common among big catchers. Donovan was very favorably impressed with this capture in the draft net. That the Yankee scouts are strong for big boxmen again was apparent when Ed Monroe put in an appear- ance at the camp. He stands 6 feet 5 inches in height and carries consid- | erable weight for one of such height. Love, Monroe and McGraw make up a trio of unusually big pitchers. Practice yesterdiry consisted mainly in throwing the ‘ball around and in running about the park. Fritz Maisel devoted more than an hour to throw- ing, and later admitted that he was tempted strongly to cut loose as his arm felt so well. He feels no ill ef- fects from his accident of last spring, workout, (Continued On Tenth Page).

The second half of the qualif; ing round will be plaved tomorrow. Coach Hughey Duffy may use Dick Harte, Harvard’s crack catcher, at first base this spring in the event of no suitable material for the initial corner turning up. C. H. Fuller and R. H. Bond are two promising catch- ers being given attention by Duffy, so that the change may be made with- out impairing the strength of the nine behind the plate. It looks as if Jack Flynn has def- initely decided not to return to Springfield as manager this season. Owner Carey does not want to pay Flynn what Jack thinks he is worth. The much discussed bout between Al McCoy, of Brooklyn, and Jack Dillon, of Indfanapolis, will take place tonight at the Broadway Sperting club ~AND You HAD LOST SEVERAL WADS OF DOUGH - AND DURING THE WINTER AT PokER ‘= AND YouU ‘HAD BEGN BUNKED oN EuerY FlGAT You WENT To- BY BRIGGS You HAD NOT WoN A POT ALL SEASoON AT KeLLY IF ALL oF A SUDDEN You SAW THIS ANNQUNCEMENT IN THE PAPERS- OMH-H- AIN'T AND FEELIN' B8R PSEpas STR SPORTDOM SPARKLERS Dillon arrived in town yesterday and did some light training in a local gymnasium to put himself on cdge.

Judge Ben Hill has been asked to restrain Robert T. Hubard, a man of 50 years, from betting $50,000 on a horse race. It was alleged that Mr. Hubard’s mind had become affected and that he had met a racetrack character, with whom he was about to bet $50,000 on a race. Mr. Hubard was temporarily restrained from drawing money from the bank until his case is given a hearing. The reappointment of D. C. Kenan, | of El Paso, Texas, as graduate coach of the Wesleyan football, baseball and basketball teams was announced last night. The appointment is for two vears. Kenan was graduated from Wesleyan in 1915 and was graduate coach last year. Robert Gill, who, pitching for the Boston college nine last season, scored victories over several leading college teams, yesterday signed a contract with the Boston Nationals. His sery- {lces had been sought by the Chicago | Nationals. Bill Carpenter, the dean of the In- ternational League umpires, who runs a school for umpires in Cincinnati during the winter, so enthusiastically recommended one of his pupils that President Ed Barrow has appointed | the youth a member of the staff.

Despite the ad- monitions of the acting madnager, | many of the youngsters cut loose and | went through the practice paces at'a fast clip. These are the boys who will nurse sore muscles for the next few days. 3 Thirty players took the field yester- day morning, worked for two hours and after a rest of another two hours, during which luncheon was servedy went back to the park and played for two hours more. Batting practice, playing catch and tossing the medi- cine ball constituted the day’s work. McCarty and Kocher warmed up the recruit pitchers and looked over their ‘stuff.” Zeke Lohman, a Texas boy who played with Lowell last season, has been here for three weeks getting in | condition. He showed up well. He . is a burly fellow, on the order of “Doc” Crandall, and made 'a good record in the Eastern league. He went on the mound and pitched to the | youngsters during batting practide. | Judging by the manner {n which he ['curved ’em over it did not do. him lany harm to get the jump on hif | teammates in the matter of report- ing. Zeke says his arm _bothered | him some last season and he wants to give it plenty of work where the weather is warm. Ross Young Shows Skill. Ross Young, a hard hitting out- fielder who was with Sherman in the ‘Western association last season, looks like a crackerjack young ball player.
