Speaking of Sports ROGERS ALLEYS UNIVERSAL CLUB LEAGUE Urbanaki Kelton Herby Kochansky, writing in the | Franks Meriden Morning Record, paid Frank Dougheity of the New Brit- ain basketball team, a series of neat compliments on his play in the New Britain-Bristol game last Wednesday night. In part he said: Camplell Feitl Pellegrint K. Lindberg “The basketball spotlight, resting niore or less sigadily on Herb Cohen and Jimmy Picken all scason, threatens to shift to Frank Dough- crty, former Kordham captain, in the coming championship conflicts.

Ruth and | Gehrig are in goc health and | spirits. The Yankces believe that | when longer hits are made, Babe | and Lou will make them, The athletes of Miller Huggins | fin. their position as stellar figures | a mixed blessing. Every man's hand | in baseball is against them, but as| champions the burden of proof in | eviction proceedings is on the oppo- | sition. Mark Keonig, who las heen a| shortstop during most of his ba: ba.l life for the time being at least has succeeded Joe Dugan at third | base, with shortstop falling to Lyn | Lary, sensational Pacific coat re- | cruit. Lary promises to join the | small class of players able to live ' |up to advance notices and big price tags. In his introduction to Mana- | ger Huggins he has displayed fewer | weaknesses than most youngsters | breaking into fast company. In the limited scope permitted by | “Hug,” Tony Lazzeri, who suffered from a lame arm last scason, has | | thrown well enough although no oc- | casion has appeared calling for him | to “bear down™ on his repaired arm. Leo Durocher, a great ficlder in any league, and Gene Robertson, better | as a hitter than fielder, stand sub- | | | rig has a first base assistant in the | person of the veteran, Leorne Burns. | The Yankees, always well fortific in the outfield, have now an even {greater surplus of talent which may | prove embarrassing when the time comes to clear the decks to a work- Ruth, Combs and Meusel, of course will get first call and Durst und Paschal, able rescrves, have heen joined by Sam Byrd and Elias Funk, good enough to qualify as un- derstudies. Outen, the North Caro- lina State collegian can hit, but the Yanks will not be able to take ad- vantage of his ability at this time. | The catching staff also presents a confest with Arndt Jorgens, an Oklahoma City recruit, fighting energetically for a place. Ben h, Duckey and Grabowski are arers of service stripes. Herb Pennock and Wiley Moore, pitehing casualties of 1925, look all right, but the extent to which their ailing arms have -been rejuvenated can be told only under fire. Waite Hoyt and George Pipgras Vil take up just where they left | off last year and Tom Zachary, a bul- warlk in the closing days of the cam- | PAigN, seems 1o grow younger with the passing of the years. lid Wells, | a left hander with an abundance of | ammunition, who has“been & major | lcaguer before, has an excellent Chance to he one again after a tour of duty in the Southern Association.
