In order to finish ithe season here, BY JACK HOHENBERG OACH §=RALEIGH LICHTEN- BERGER put a hundred odd candidates thru their paces at Broad- way high school for the second time Thursday afternoon on Broadway playfield, The Tiger mentor seems to have a spirited bunch of pigskin chasers to ghten his burden. Broadway will have to undergo a complete remodeling, as the greater portion of thelr strong 1922 eleven hve left school, A fair backfield is looked for, with such men as Harold Linder, Guy Meister, Stan Grum. mett, Lou Hull and John Talbot out for posta, Linder was on the 1921 eleven, playing in California last season, Meister played end on last year's cleven, but is out for a backfield post this year, Grummett was eon at center previously, but muy ap: pear in the backfield this s#ason, Hull played substitute fullback last season and seems to have Improved ‘Taibot, former Lewis arl Clarke high sckool player, has buen sick during the last two foot- boll seasons, but is out for quayter- back this year. In the line, Greathouse at tackle and Captain Frane at end soem to te the only fixtures, Several big men are also our for posts on the line and the final decision is sure to be a toasup. Jith Runte, Bob Drewliner, Ted Cragin, Jerry Reynolds and Lin Rice are some of the men out for the Thursday, where he 1s billed to box Lew Puluso on September 17, line, Reynolds and Cragin are out for end jobs, while Runte and Drew. ‘ 100 GRIDDERS TURNING OUT FOR BROADWAY MACHINE liner will try for guard positions, Lin Rice, a younger brother of Cot Rice, former all-round Tiger athlete, is out for center. Leo Ryan, the fast little end, who broke his collarbone twice last year, will not return to school utnil the spring semester. Ryan is shipping out on an Alaskan boat some time in the near future. The Tiger eleven, in the raw, seems to have the makings of a team, but only time will tell the real story of success or fallure, How: ever, they should rank with the con. tenders this year, because of the material on hand, Ed Turner, brother of Les Turner, now coaching at the University of Southern California, i# asstating Lichtenberger in turning out an Or: ange and Black eleven, KREMER WINS ANOTHER GAME OAKLAND, Sept. 7.—Buzz Arlett went back to outfield duty after be- ing a bust’as a pitcher and the big fellow walloped three hits in four trips against Low Angeles yesterday, one a double and scoring two runs himself and knocked in two himwelf, Oakinnd won 6 to 4, making Tay Kromer’s 21st win of tho season.

He hit a ball over the rightfield wall and collected oo double in five trips. His double was « acreaming line drive.

The youngster shows a great deal of promine, but he lack and the best place he can get it is right here, where bo will have a chance to play every day, particularly needs more knowledge in playing the field and in run- ning bases. There's nothing wrong with his hitting, Going to big show now would mean that he would sit on the bench, A year playing regularly in this company would give him more confidence and would do him a great deal more good than a year of a big league bench. WILHOIT STILL GOOD BALL PLAYER Joo Withoit, the long-legged Salt Lake outfielder, has reached the veteran class as pastimers go, but the big fellow can still play a mean outfield and he can pick up and lay ‘em down pretty well for a fellow who has been playing ball 10 years and more, Witholt is hitting next to Paul Strand in the Const league averages, plunking the ball at a .390 gait, And he's doing some pretty fair fielding and throwing, too, Joo is the baby who holds the world's record for hitting in con: secutive games, 67 or so straight melees, made a few years ago in the Western league, Wilhoit has had a long and hon. orable career in baseball, starting with Victoria over 10 yearn ago. Since then he played in this league and then National with Boston, He saw service In tho Western and American association loops before landing with Salt Lake.
