REDS’ MANAGER HAS HIGH HOPES FOR HIS TEAM; SAYS CLUB IS DUE FOR THIRD POSITION OR HIGHER Mayds, Linpie, Rixev, Sheehan and Pete Donohue hxpeeted to (Jive Reds Mneh-Needed Mound Strength -N 011th and Speed on Team This Season. lly The A«torlHtnl I’rfim, KADKNTOWN, Fla.— March IK. — .lark Hendricks, manager of t tie Cincinnati National league baseball club, be lieves that he has the greatest pitch ing staff in his cir cuit and that the Reds will finish in third place or higher. “A year ago this time there were •— dark days In the Hods’ training camp,” he said today, "it was then that Pat Moran died. Cincinnati had hern fed up on a championship ball club that it did not have. This is no alibi. While the team suffered terribly from illness and injury yet it did not have'the ability td finish higher than It did. It was ageing—that team—larking of speed cost many cloeo games. "N'nw we have added speed. The morale is higher. The spirit is better. N'o club has a chance to get any where without spirit. It is my belief Hint it is not necessary to have an all star cast to win if ydu have the spirit on your team. “In Zilmau, Hie young oulflbld er purchased from Newark, Ilres seit bought from St. 1’aul ami fritz, who starrted for us last year, we have started right in getting youth and speed on the club. “The dcatli of our field captain, ' Jake Daubert was a great loss. We ' are net experimenting witli Bressler- j at first base as the public thinks. | I believe Dressier will fill file hill bet fee Mum ait) liusher we could buy. "Our maii Crilz and Wright of the Pirates were tlie outstanding stars of last year and (Vita! outliit Wright and stole more liases Ilian tlie Pirate star. He is a fixture at second base for 11s. "Dressen comes as the most herald ed of our rookies. He hit .350 in the American association last year. H^ has made a good Impression here by his fine, fast work and his willing and aggressive disposition. Whether he will have a regular place on the team is for the training trip to de termine. “f believe I have the host pitching staff in tlie league. Mays showed the goods last year. Idique. the Cuban, found friends at linnio too kind. He was a hero on the island, you know, after his great record of 1023, He had a bad season last year. He has learned his lesson and I expect hitn to go well this year. “Kixe) had a litft! Itnee last spring and was of no use to tlie team for a month, lie is in grand -liape (his spring. So is Tom Sheehan. Pete Donohue is sure to have a great season, 11s lie is heavier and stronger than ever before. Dihut, tlie oilier Cuban, is a problem. I would not like to pass on him yet. Jackie May reported in better con dition than I have ever seen hint. “I believe Cincinnati will be in tlie race all season and run 1-2-3 to the finish. We have nine infielders, eight of whom are sure big league class. We need another right-hand hitting outfielder and will get one if we possibly can.” Maker of State High School Champs at Omaha Tech; Basket Ball Latest Coach Drummond's His Name —Fine Fellow and Regular Coach—Directs Athletics at Tech. nTEP right up, folks, and meet the maker of championship high school athletic teams of Nebras ka. Don't know his name? Well, sell Introduce him to you. “Mr. Header, meet Mr. James Drummond, coach of Technical High ichool.’’ Now that that is over with we will to on with this yarn. Coach Drummond first started winning championships wit It Tech teams hack in 1920. That was the year Tech was stacked up with players and Drummond molded to gether a city champion football team. Tile Maroons rolled out to the far end of the state to play Cambridge for the state champion ship. The long train ride was ton much for the Techstcrs and they lost. I^ast year, however, Drum mond’s football team won the state title by defeating Cambridge and Omaha Central. ' Drummond has been more suc cessful in basket hall than in foot ball at Tech. He put the Maroons on the rage map in 1919 and again in 1920 when his trams battled Into the finals only to lose the title that was within their grasp. In 1923 flip Maroons won the state basket bail championship and again in 1923, and (lie present title makes them a winner three times. In 1922 Tech cinched its first base ball championship. Not being con tent with winning it one year, ttye Coach ftfon^C Maroons continued winning chnm pionshfps In 1023 and ^1024. Having coached all the Tech high teams since 1019, Drummond has turned out three championship bas ket ball teams, one football cham pionship team, and three baseball championship nines, making seven.

JUANA, Mexico, March 16, — Presi dent "Sunny Jim” Coffroth of the Tla Juana Jockey club puts down his pen ell, takes a long look at the result found at the bottom of the column, meditates a minute while hs re vi^ws the figures and then announces: "It will cost the Tia Juana Jockey club exactly $86,612 to put on the Cof ft*oth handicap day of racing." , Probably the casual racm patron does not hate any Idea that a big day at Tla Juana, such as that of Sunday. March 26, in which the sixth running of the Coffroth handicap will he the feature, means an expense of $86,612. However, the figures are correct and tome from the individual items which heels of the various de partments at the track have just turned Into the Jockey club president. The greatest single item in the $86,612 total is tlie SoOJMIO added money for the Coffroth. This is . supplied in cold cash from the Jockey club coffers. The stake, now the richest in America for horses of all ages, will be worth around $65,OM to tile winner. lotst year tlie cost of the day wafs $70,.">07. but this season the expenses are much heavier, an increase in the added money from $40,660 to $.')<), 0(H) contributing $10,000 alone. Another heavy expense Is the rost of tlie home to the winning jockey in the (offroth, this run ning into several thousand dollars. Then to top off the items men tioned, is the rost of the silver bucket to he given the winning thoroughbred, the salaries of the increased force In every depart ment. for extra help w ill lie used in taking rare of the crowd ex pected to reach Ja.OOfl, tlie purses for tlie other nine races of the day, these being around $7,000 and numerous and costly Incidentals. Alexander McIntyre, formerly a financial man with various circus corporations and other big amuse ment enterprises and now a ly ember of the Tl.t Juana auditing depart nieiif, declares that the 170,501 cost of (’offroth handicap day greatly out strips any dally bill of expense from a circus, football or baselsill game and many other amusement enter prises.

Manager Killifer Desirous of Obtaining Services of Third Sacker r_ By JACK KNOX. OS ANOELES, ChI., March 15. —Wanted — A hard - hitting, fast • field lug third baseman. —Adr. That's the ad Hill K i I I e f e r wants broad cast. The man a g e r of the t ubs makes no secret of the| fact that he is; not altogether satisfied with his hot corner! material. Harney Frlberg !« a good fielder, not as fast in handling bunts as he might lie, but otherwise lie plays the position well defensively, but Harney wears no medals as a batter. Bob Barrett is a much better hifter,! but lie is far from being a finished fielder. This is particularly true since lie was hit in the mouth by a hard' hit ground ball flint took a liml bound. Because of the shortcomings of these two, Killefer lias been trying Pittenger at third- When* Pitt was with Boston he played second, short and third. He is a great fielder, but lie is just a fair hitter. If lie im proves with the asli, the betting is 100 to 1 that Pitt will become the regular third baseman. But of course, there is that big IF. Killefer frankly admits that at this time third base !s the weakest spot of the Cubs offensively. He also ad mits that he would like to have a consistent right-hand hitter to bat fourth in his batting order. Hack Miller Is a good hitter, but be is inclined to hitting streaks. Sam Breadon, president of the f Ixiuis Cardinals, has been here and the Cube have discussed the possi bility of getting Rogers Hornsby, but Breadon figures that If he sells Hornsby he might Just a» well put the padlocks on the gntee to hi* ball park. And you can't blame Breadon for that. Cobb Leads League in Gathering Able Assistants in Quantities By .IOK LEBLANC. If coaching counts, then thers Is good reason for the high estimates that seem pretty' generally held of the Detroit Tigers’ pennant chances, for Ty Cobb has gathered to himself not only a trio of assistants who were masters of play in their day, but in ei raging a trio he also has quantity. No oilier club in the American league lists more than a pair of men classed under the rather indefinite tills of “coach.’' The New York Yankees, the St. Ivan is Browns, Washington and the Athletes have a pa r each; the other dubs of the junior major list but one each. Here they ate as named: Washing ton- Nick Altroek and A1 Schachtl. New York—Charley O'Leary 811,1 Georg* Wlltse. Detroit—George Mc Bride. Otto Williams and Oscar^Stan ace. Philadelphia—Ira Thomas and Earl Mack. St. Louis—Jimmy Austin and Joe Evans. Cleveland—Jack Me | Call inter. Boston — Albert Leifleld. | Chicago—Bill^ Lauder. It will be noted that men who played the infield in their heyday seem favorites for choice as coaches. The list inciures O'Leary, McBride, Williams, Austin, Lauder. The catch ers in the list are Thomas. Stanage and McCallister. Pitchers are AI trock, Schacht, Wilts#, and Leifleld. Jo# Evans may lie classed as haring played the infield. Earl Mack was a first baseman In such playing days as he experienced In the minors. ff'Mpjrrfirht. !>CS.) Commercial Basket Ball League Closes Season \\ ednesdav Till: Y NT. C.
