H Roscoe Holm, former Towa State| star, is one of the best looking re- cruits I have seen in a long time. Holm handles himself like an ex- perienced ball player. He has an awkward, yet easy style, that re sminas you something of Hans Wag- nier, At the bat he steps into the' ball beautifully and should bé able to hit. i : Understudy to Lavan Holm is certain to be retained by | Rickey as understudy to Lavan and Will surely keep the doctor stepping to keep him in the background. Howard Friegau of Ohio Wes-| leyan, the alma mater, of Manager Rickey, is another capable per- flormer. Friegau is being used in the | gutfield. It is said that he made a favorable impression on Manager Rickey as a sophomore at Wesleyan #nd the Cardinal manager immedi-; ately tied him up to report on grad- uation. . The other members of the “Rah" #Rah” trio is Eddie Dyer of Rice In-| stitute, Texas. In college circles Dyer was a whale of a pitcher. When not pitéhing he played the outfield be-| cause of his batting and speed. Rickey is of the opinion that Rice has too much promise to be merely used as a pitcher, say every fourth. day. He has notified the Texan that | 28— St col- UPPER RIGHT SHOWS ROSCOE HOLM, UNIVERSITY OF IOWA PRODUCT. .

I am of the opinion that he regards Holm as ready to go. The Iowan looked that way to me. In case injury or illness| overtakes Lavan, Holm will play the position. I watched the collegians play against the Boston Braves in an ex- hibition game. Holm and Dyer par- ticulariy impressed me, probably be- pause they had more to do than Friegau. ¢+ In the Boston game, Cardinals won, 4 to 3, Dyer saved the game by a diving catch that would have done credit to Speaker. It took basebali instinct, more than a ¢ollege education, to make the play.| It required courage and quick think- ing. As Dyer came up with the ball Manager Rickey, on the St. Louis bench, fairly shouted: “That fellow is a sure enpugh big' leaguer. You can’t keep that kind of | #pirit down.” s It certainly looks as if Rickey had| picked up three future stars in| Holm, Dyer and Friegau. | which the 60 TENNIS ENTRANTS. e TR 1 Officials Will Draw For Pairs in Na-| tional Indoor Meet. | New York, March 28.—Tennis" offi- clals will conduct the draw for the| national indoor championship which | Wwill open here Saturday with about | §0 entries.

The other 30 are under contract to the Syracuse ¢lub of the International league, which, it is understood, is con- trolled by the owners of the 8t. Louis Nationls. - No doubt Manager Rickey ar- ranged the joimt training trip, so | that he could look over both teams, with a hope that the” |[ Syracuse club might uncoéver some recruit worthy of big league consideration. Incidentally in this way Rickey can determine the play- ers on the Syracuse club wito ||| lack the necessary ability to maintain the latérnatthal ||| league standard, In order to ||| Syracuse a str@ng team Cardinal players just shy to major league abllity will be furned over to that olub, .

Harold Weir will cap- tain the team this year. Last year the season was not as successful as it might h@ve been. ‘When the call for candidates was is- | sued last year a small squad of can- didates peported for practice. The re- sult was that little material was at hand to°mold a winning team togeth- er. With several of the veterans and regulars on the team ineligible all thogght of vietory in most games was out the question. Hard Schedule Ahead With a hard schedule facing the Red and Gold team this year the best possible material in the school should be out for the team in order to go through a successful season. Although there are only four veterans left:from last year, several new men will try out for the team. The mest promis- ing among them are “Lefty” Huber, pitcher, who is ineligible at present, *‘Ous” O'Connell, catcher; _*“Jimmy" | Reynolds of basketball fanfb, pitcher |and infielder, and “Dutch” Neipp, out- fielder. | Baftery Candidates . The following men ure candidates for.the mound: Huber, Reynolds, “Jackie” Conlin, Clayton Gray veter- an of two seasons. O’'Connell, Polar- ski and Hjerpe comprise the catching candidates. Two veterans and a re- cruit will probably battle for the first base job. “Duke” McCabe,“Who held down the position last year, will bat- tle to hold it again. He can also play in the outficld so that if Beagle or Bojonoski should win the position he will probably be shifted to the outer (Continued on Following Page). REPRESENTS U. §.

President Alvear in a recent interview declared himself to be much jn favor of the idea ‘anid has promised his support. The triumph attained by the Ar- gentine athletes at the South Amer- ican Olyntpic games held in Rio de Janeiro last year has given an added |stimujus to the hopes of those who {think®that the Argentines may make |a good showing at the Paris mecting. |At the Rio games the Argentina rep- iruvn!ulives scored 94 points, being |followed by the Chilians with 85, the | Brazilians with 56 and the Uruguay- juns with 4. The best individual \showing of the Argentines on that jcccasion was put up by ' Enrique | Thompson, who covered the 40( | meters hurrdles event in 56 2-5 sec- {onds. The time put up by Thomp- {son is the best ever made by a citi- zen of a Jatin-American country.| The 110 meters hurdles was covered by Newbery, Argeatine, in 16 sec- onds, while another, Vallania,.only 16 years old, recorded 1.81 meters. in the high jump. The Argentine ath- letes won the South American cham- pionship in tennis, fencing and horse- manship. . The attendance of the Argentines at Paris would be controlled by ‘the Ar- gentine Sporting federation, which is icreating a gpecial committee on Olym- | pic games. Argentina probably would be representad in foothall, athletics, tennis, fencing. shooting and possibly | rowing, sWimming and boxing. | Argentina bas only vecently attain- «d some prbminence in world sport. In addition to the good showing made |by her polo players in Great Britain !and the United States it may be re- calleg that only last year an Argentine |serimmer, Romco Maciel, established a world record for distance swimming |and endurance when he swam ovce |the River Plate on March 12, envering 54 kilometers 300 meters, staying on |that occaston 24 hours 33 minules 40 |goconds in the water.

New Orleans, March 28.—One nf-[ those justly famous triples that occas sionally come from the bat of Bob Meusel sent Babe Ruth’s “irregulars” crashing to defeat yesterday and gave the regulars a 2 to 1 victory in a practice game at the Yankees play- ground. Not that the experience was a unique one for Ruth's team. It has beén beaten before, and it anticipates perhaps another beating before th regulars meet the Robins on Satuf- day, but yesterday the Ruths put up a sturdy battle and were holding, the regulars pretty even until Meusel slammed the ball to a corner of the lot in the sixth with Joe Dugan perched on second.

And it wasn't over a couple of years ago that Henry cherished such an ambli- tioh. * > Henry Manush s the youngest brother of the Manush family, which gave something like five boys to pro- fessional :baseball.’ While attending a wmilitary school at Pulaski, Tenn,, Henry suddenly de- cided that ledrning the plumbing trade was far ‘more ‘profitable than absorb- ing the advantages of a higher cdu- cation, Packing his grip he departed for Burlington, Ia., where one of his old- er brothers was located. A year at the plumbing trade caused Manush to ichange his viewpoint. ‘Always & good ball player, he decided that cavorting on the. diamond was far softer than Juggling pipes and radiators. ‘We next see him playing semi-pro- fessional ball at Omaha, -Neb, His sandlot clouting early won the atten- tion ot the owners of the Western lea- gue ciub in that city. He was signed to a contract for 1922. All he did-in his first year of pro- fessional baseball was to bat .376 for Omaha, making 245 hits, of which 44 were doublés, 20 triples and 20 home runs. That was enough for the Detroit management, always in the fi€ld for hard-hitting outfielders. The moment' Cobb saw Manush in action he realized the rookie could hit. He is one of the few recruits { who have not received suggestion from the Tiger leader as to how they might improve their batting, He didn't ' CHALLENGES ew York*Boxing Board Adppts Rule Compelling Titleholders to- Face As- pirants Before Showing in Minor Contests. = N New York, March 28.—Charactér- i izing its action as a declaration of war ignoring the challenges of logical con- | tenders for their titles, ghe New York | State Athletic Commission today {adopted a ruling compeélling pugilistic j kings to go through with challenge matches before tak part in any other bouts in this te.
