New York Yankees Look Like Sure Winners in American League This Season With Ruth, iVleusel and Witt in Outfield to Start Season Team Should Do Great Things s Manager Huggins Intends to Carry Nine Hurlers—Oscar Roettger, Former Sioux City Western Leaguer, Showing Up Well in Practice. By THOMAS L. Cl MMISKKY. Hy Universal Service. K\V ORLEANS, LA., March 27.—'The Yankees, excepting "Babe" Ruth, inevitably ambitious rookies anti a few others, go about spring training methodically. They act as if thinking: “Why. man. we're a team of stars, the. highest priced in baseball, we'll be ready, all right, we ain't going to kill ourselves. There's plenty of time." At least that's our impression, after watching them at Lu Heinmann park today. It must he said they all look in ‘■fj- good shape, and that there's no shirking. But, compared to the Tigers, for instance, they are far front Inspiring In their actions. The team Indulged in a two-hour workout, 11 to 1, and then were through for the day. All appeared In good spir its. and it was noticeable, had a better “family" air than in the past. So the story goes, some of the temperamental boys have been toning down, what with talks of trades and riot acts being read for carryings-on last season. Huggins Satisfied. C Manager Huggins expressed himself us satisfied with the team's progress. “We'll lie ready, all right,^hy the looks of things,” he said. "We've got a’ road trip, when we , leave, here, which, 1 expect, will top oft our conditioning nicely." lie. of course, figures a pennant. Asked what he thought of the Tigers, lie declared: "They've been strengthened and should make a good fight.” Last season, in addition to the Browns, the Tigers liad Huggins on the anxious seat. Huggins is looking for another ex perienced lnfielder, someone of proven worth in the 'big time,” to have around in ease of an emergency. The Infield, will be: Pipp, first: . Ward, second; Scott, short; Dugan, i third; McNally who can play third, short or second, w-ill be the utility man again. Quintana, the llttlo Cuban, fields | brilliantly, but cannot hit well. Dandy Fielder. “He sure \js a dandy fielder ami t thrower,” said Huggins, "and looks to me to have the makings of a fine natural hall player. He bats too stiffly, however, but needs training. T,ook at him out there at short! A hall hawk! “If he could hit he'd be a corker." Quintana will he sent down for seasoning and to improve his hitting. He is likely to go to Bridgeport, 'Vinn., where "Hug” can have an eye on him. Huggins thinks Quin tana ought to profit greatly by ex perience. John Wigth, last season with Chat tanooga, will be retained as a utility lnfielder, saya Huggins. The regular outfield will be Ruth, right; Witt, center, and Bob Meusel, left. Huggins ntends to carry two or three others of whom Klmer Smth will be one. Harvey Hendricks, from Galveston; Hink»y Haines, farmed last season to Reading and Jersey city, and Oiile Tucker, let out to Nc-w Orleans in 1S22, are fighting it out to be retained. The catchers will be Sehang and Hoffman, veterans, and Benny Ben bough, from Buffalo. Veteran llurler*. The pitching staff, greatest in either league, will have the veterans Bush. Shawkey, Mays, Iloyt, Jones and Herb Pennock. > Still, Huggins say* lie plan* carry ing nine hurlers. The best rookies *eem to be Oscar Koettger, from Sioux City; Johnny Suggs, from Atlanta, and George Pipgrass, from Charleston Suggs is a southpaw. Frerl Spates, from Brown university: Elbert John son, from Aberdeen, S. D., and Pat ! McKirpsly, from Akron, appear toi need more experience. Huggins figures Pennock to pitch about 15 winning games anyway. The club was without a proven southpaw last season and sorely missed one. Bear for Work. Every time "Babe" Both connected solidly ,nnd be did often, he ran around the park. The “Babe" had on,, a sweat shirt. Incased in n rubber shirt, and also a big rubber abdominal belt. The perspiration formed In big gobs. “Babe" is a wondf-r for work. Huggins doesn’t look any too well. But he hustles ns though In tiptop condition. Joe Bush and Shawkey did a lot of pitching and looked in A-l shape. The Yanks look great on paper. They dids t have Kuth and Meusel for six weeks last season, nor Witt in the outfield, nor Dugan In the In field, also the addition of pennock is considered a big strengthening factor. If they weld together, they should do great things. Bentley Make* Hit. N’ew Y'ork, March 27.—Complete satisfaction with -tack Bentley, the $55,050 holdout, purchased by the New York Giants from Baltimore, was voiced today by Manager McGraw, commenting on the scrutiny given the recruit yesterday at bis first workout at San Antonio. Bentley dropped four pounds and has only 17 more to lose to be ai. his normal weight of 200. McGraw said tie would not put Bentley at first base, lmt would keep him for his south paw pitching and |ierhnps use him ns a pinch hitter. Knocks Out. Frankie Murphy Salt Lake City, Utah, March 2«.-~ Frankie Murphy of Denver was knocked out by Jack Vlncelll, local welterweight, In the first round of their nchedulcd four-round taint here tonight. Walt lfart, local bantamweight champion, and Fddle Lynch of North Platte fought a six-round draw I,eon-' aid Malody of Laramie, W’yo.. de feated Johnny Woodmanaer, local featherweight. In four round*. « ■ l»— ■ ■ 1 ■ Winter Weather at Seguin. Old man winter returned to Seguin, Tex., yesterday on the wing* of a cold north wind and, caused postpone ment of th" game between the N'-w York National league tsurn nnd the Chicago American league team. The game will he played in Kttn Antonio. Thursday. Flovd Johnson •/ Kay oes Thompson Boston, March 27.—Floyd Johnson j ct Iowa knocked out Ray Thompson j of New York In 20 seconds here to . night. The Iowa L heavyweight sent I Thompson reeling to | ' the floor with a punch to {lie Jaw after 12 seconds of milling and the New Yorker stayed down until the count of j eight. A blow to | the right temple j felled him for the j last time. Johnson entered the ring weighing 1 liij pounds and FLOYD JORNSOH Thompson scaled 1SS pounds. The two shook hands and Thompson led with a left for Johnson s face. The latter countered with a blow to Thompson's heart that sent the New Yorker l>aok. Johnson shot a right to the jaw and Thompson went down in a heap. Twelve seconds only had elapsed. Eight was counted before Thompson arose. Thompson, shaky but willing, closed in as If In an attempt to clinch. The Iowan's right hand crashed against his left temple and he sank to the floor—knocked out. A brief 10 sec onds saw the end of the light. Creighton to Play South Dakota Team S. D. 1923 GRID CARD. September 29—Northern Normal at Ver milion. Cctober H— Ysnkton college at Vermil ion.

March 27 —Nfanuel Alon so and his brother, Jose Alonso, stars of last year's Spanish Davis cup team, who ha ve arrived In the United States to take up business careers, predicted today that France and possibly Spain < or the Uritlsh Isles would he the fl- j nallsts In the European zone compe- ! •titlon In this year's Davis cup con- i ! test.

Should Spain survive the European : zone play and come to this country to meet the American zone flmtllsts, the Alonso brothers would be availa ble as contestants.

The veteran in flelder wound up the season of 1322 with a record of 986 straight games in playing har ness, so that he needs but 14 more ■ to reach the mark he started shooting 1 at when he wore a Boston Bed Sox uniform June 20, 1916. Seott reeled off 103 games without 1 an absence from the lineup in 1916 followed with 137 in 1917, 126 and 138 1 in the abbreviated seasons of 1918 and 1919, and 134 games each in the last three years, lie transferred his alle giance from tin* Hub to Gotham in the winter of *921-22, coming to the Vankees with Sam Jones and Joe Push in exchange for Roger Peck in* pa ugh. Bill Piercy, Jack Quinn and Rip Collins. ,-Volt's continuous performing rec ord is neatly double that of the best previous major league marks. The closest approach to it was made by George B. Pinckney, who played in 577 straight games with the old Brooklyn club in the American asso ciation and National league from 1885 to 1890. The nearest mark in modern baseball history was 633 games, reeled off by Fred Luderus of • the Philadelphia Nationals, from 1916 1 to 1919. Scott has had several narrow es capes from having his record streak broken. One of these occurred about the middle of last season, when he s'- pped in Indiana while the Vankees were on th< ir way to open a series in ! Chicago.
