About Fights and Fighters BY LEO H.

The kingpin of all ring Men came out to the Los An- geles ball park the other day Where the Seattle Indians were working out, for some} Movie and press publicity) stunts, donning an L. A. uni form and going thru batting, pitching, running and fielding stunts for the cameramen. And thru it all D y exhibited | that same that is so r e sits im his corner wait gong. The tense look sing from| his face aven face} of his civ ing face of the pion, which| is usually covered with a three-day} beard when he is im the ring. But that restles: fm his makeup as Roticeable. To see Glothes, one would never take him for the fighting man that he is The slim waist and tapering body belie the true size of him. When he rolled up his siceves in hls baseball stunts it was casy enough, however, for the onlookers to learn where he gets that tro. Mendous hitting power, for he has the forearms of a biacksmith. In his baseball workout Dempsey Feemed muscie-bound and the heavy- weight champion was awkward be cause cf his lack of practice in the national pastime. He evidently hasn't ever been an addict of the diamond game as a player. 35 is so marked to be distinctly| vempsry in his street | crew THE SEATT LE STAR MONDAY, APRIL 7, 1924 KILLEFER IS DEVELOPING VERSATILE OFFENSE FOR TRIBE, Bear Crew Has First Trial Spin Race Tickets on Sale; Nagler Says Bear Frosh Will Lose BY JACK HOHENBERG Or IFORNIA, rmine eight aramen and a ¢ represented & tering coxwain, took ington ifornia, and believes that he b ptimtatic, # the makings of a fine is right.

The pitching staff looks pretty fair, but with such a staff of veterans chances are that the early hurling will necessitate the making of a lot of runs. Killefer has the men capable of shifting to the old army game of playing for a run at a time, It’s the team that can vary its attack that wins. Take Salt | Lake's 1928 outfit for example.

Ho pulled some muscles in his leg late in the season Inst year and it developed that he had been injured more seriously than {t had been thought at the time, It was report: ed recently that he would not be able to play in the early season games and that {t was doubtful if he could play any more at all. With Rigney out, Cobb will havo to call upon Haney as a substitute and he will find the infield with two holes instead of one. Blue is a good first baseman and Bobby Junos is a good third baseman, but a good infield has to have some. thing more in the middle than the Tigers have. The Tigers will havo a fine outfield as tho team seems to run to fine outfielders. Detroit has always had one or two star perform. ers, and {n Cobb, Hellman and Ma- hush they have three really great players, Cobb is not thru by any means, altho ho has been going strong for 20 years.
