Other regulars who will report at Augusta—provided there are no con- tractual difficulties in the interim— will be: Burke, O'Rourke, Rigpey, Haney, Jones, Manush, Fotherglll, Wingo, Woodall, Dauss, Johnson, Plllette, Collins, Leonard, Holloway end Wells, In addition, Cobb will have Neun, the first baseman whose play last year was cne of the sensa- tions of the American association. The Tiger clubs so far listed for tickets to Augusta are Carlyle, an outfielder, Tavener, a shortstop, and Gene Doyle and ' William Moore, pitchers. Carlyle, purchased from the Charlotte club of the South At- lantic league, has been heralded as a “second Ty Cobb.” Doyle comes from the Toronto and Moore from Rochester of the International league, A new face in Tiger garb, yet one familalr in the American league, is that of George McBride, formerly shortstop and manager of the Wash- ington club, who has been signed as assistant manager. Much of Mc- Bride's job will be devoted to the | strengthening the weakness that has existed for several seasons around second base, O'Rourke, Burke and probably Gehringer will be the material with which McBride will have to work in gementing the eracks around second. Gehringer played with London in the Michigan-Ontarlo league last season. None of the trio is regard- ed as a good hitter, however, and exceptional |none has shown any aptitude as a flelder. Famillar forms that will be miss- |ing when the team gathers Include | Derrill Pratt, veteran infielder who was given his unconditional re- lease this winter; Bert Cole, south- | | paw pitcher, who returns to the | Pacific coast after an extended but “ unsuccessful stay in the majors; and Clyde Manjon, third string catcher, who was sold to Toronto of the In- ternational ledgue. Manager Cobb hag maintained his usual reticence as to predictions for | the coming season, but there is noth- ing now to indicate that the team he will use in the pennant race will year. A new pitcher or two, the pos- sibility of Rigney being displaced at | shortstop by Tavener, a chance at second base and a possible shift in seem as probable. The training season. under pres- | ent arrangements, will start late in seen as probable. | UNIQUE HOCKEY TEAM ! Kitchener, Ont., boasts a hockey outfit made up of seven brothers. Each Is'a star.

True, other players have done foolish things, but Altrock does them intentlionally. | Washington's offic'al roster ftor 1926 shows that the great imitator of Cleopatra, Luls Angel Firpo, Johnny Welssmuller and John Philip Sousa has been delegated to the po- sition of coach where previously he.. had been a player. Altrock batted | for 1,000 in the season of 1924 when he hit for three bases In Washing- ton's last game against the Red Sox. | The Boston outflelders, bent upon allowing Nick to score a home run, failed to field the ball slow enough, for the comedian sat down at third base and refused to continue to the plate. Nick had every reuen to belleve that he would be one of the regular pitching staff during the coming sea- son, when he saw such names as Vean Gregg and Stanley Coveleskie added to the roster, and he imme- diately entered a period of severe training on the basketball court with a team touring the east. Of course, he did not play, but he travelled with the players, and indulged in phantom baseball, football and box- | ing for the edification of the crowds. He really felt that he was young enough—he {s only 44—to rejoin a regular pitching staff, although he was a star lefthander in the days when Frank Isbell was pounding out | two-base hits for the White Sfi!,‘ then known as the “hitless wonders.” About that time Freddy Lindstrom, | the youth who accomplished im- | mense things for the Giants in the | late world series, was born. Al Schacht, who made an attempt at a pitching comeback with New Haven of the Eastern league last season, will be Altrock’s chief assist- ant, if he needs one, as coach for |the Washington club and Manager Stanley Harris will have room for a | younger player to ald him in his ef- forts to capture another world pen- nant. 'HOLLOCHER RETIRES FROM CHICAGO TEAMS Shortstop of Chicago Nationals Physically Unfit To Join His Teammates Chicago, Jan. 23.—Charles Hol- | locher, star shortstop of the Chicago | Cubs, last night was placed on the voluntary retired list by Commis- sioner Landis at the player’s request. Hollocher said he could give no as- surance that he would be able to start on the training trip with the club, because of his health, but if | his condition permitted him to join | the club on its return from a trip | to the coast, he would ask reinstate- | ment.

Chicago, Jan. 23, —Confidence that Jole Ray, Illinols A. C. middle als- tance whose records of years standing have been absorbed by Paavo Nurmi, the Finn, ean outrun the fleet invader in their coming races in the east'has been expressed by John F. Mahan, the coach who discovered and developed the dimin- utive Chicago ace. During the next two weeks Ray meets Nurmi in a three-quarter mile race at the Milirose games and in the famous Hunter mile at the Bos- ton A. A. Ray has won the Boston cvent for the past six years, “When Nurmi next meets Ray Yo will get the .surprise of his life,” said Mahan, In the coming races, Ray's effort will be to keep the Finn from run- ning his own kind of race, Maban intimated. Thelr theory s that Nur- ‘mi runs like a machine that can be set to click a certain kind of way, with 80 many strides to the lap, but A machine that once thrown out of gear would break down. “Nurmi hasn't had a taste of Amerlean racing yet,” Mahan stated, “but he will get it from now on. He runs our way hereafter, not his own. His running over here has beer marvelous, but he has never met & man of Ray's present class either . in Europe or America, especlally a! the shorter distance.” Mahan, who Is a lawyer, former- Iy coached Dartmouth, Massachu- setts Tech and Purdue. He retired as coach of the Mlinofs A. C. in 1918 to devote all of his time to his prac- tice, but at Ray's request took charge of the Chicago speedster's training for the Finn. When Ray beats Nurm!, Mahan sald, he intended to rotire frem coaching for good.
