Bob ‘Quinn
owner, and Ia*e
Fohl, manager
offer oil their
Boston Keil Sox
llotli are iiiiiti
well pleased witli
a couple of the young
'ters, prinripally "Bud” Connolly, an
infielder from Berkeley, Cal., who was
secured from Bay l ily, “in most ol
the practice tills with the New Ol
leans club, and others. Connolly lias
scintillated most brilliantly, it is said,
It must lie observed, however, that on
I lie particular afternoon in which
this writer ga/ed upon him, Connolly
did nothing to distinguish himsell
from the mob. On the other hand,
another youngster, Phil Todt, an out
fielder who. Iiaa been converted into a
first baseman, played a whale of a
game, fielding and hitting in neat
style.
The Red Sox strategy board Is all
het up over Todt, and may have
snnie trouble In placing him, because
■toe Harris, regular custodian of the
first cushion, has been showing signs
of renewed baseball life this spring,
Connolly, Todt and Bill Rogeli, a
Chicago boy, secured from Kalina, are
the likeliest trio of future greats in
the camp.
Todt, of course, was with the Sox
last year, but he Is still in the young
ster class,
Ewell Gross, who has been short
stopping around the Texas league, for
several seasons, appear to be the reg
ular for that job with the Red Sox.
Fohl like him.' In fact he is quite
enthusiastlo over him. And it is
practically certain that Gross will he
Ihe candidate to cause Dudley Lee.
tiie high-priced purchase of a season
or two ago. to watch most of his big
league baseball this season, from the
dugout.
Homer Ezzell has the edge on
Jimmy Prothro, at this waiting, for
third base and the veteran, Bill
Wambsganss, late in reporting, ba
r-sure of a bad knee, may have
trouble in ousting the youngster,
t 'onnolly.
The Soy are fitted to start with
a very young infield, in Todt, 22;
t onnolly, 22; Lee, 22, and Kzzell,
2i, or a rather ancient one, as base
ball ages go, in Harris, 22; Wamliy,
21; Qross, 29, and Protliro, 28.
The chili will stand pat on Catch
ers John lfeving and Yal lieinich,
both with it last year. Fohl is
pleased with Bering's actions.
A hard clouting outfielder,
Krnic Vaehe, a right-hand hitter
from Dallas, lias caught Fold's
fancy, ami will most certainly join
tile select slugging list of Ike
.Boone, Ira Klagstead, Boll > each,
and John Collins. The last named
was forced to leave the ramp last
week, owing to the death of Ills
mother.
Fohl hasn't had a chance to pass
judgment on his pitchers, lie say«.
Off hand it seems that the Soy will
have practically the same gang of
1921. unless Rudy Kailio, if right
hander from Salt l.akr. crashes in.
Kailio was up once before, with
Detroit, and has been dubbing
around the Coast league for sev
eral seasons.
Howard Ehmke, .Jack Quinn, Alex
Ferguson, Curtis Fullerton are the
regular right handers, with Fred
Wingfield, secured from Chattanooga,
having a chance to crash in.
If the Sox are to have any left
handers, they will have to he found
among Oscar Fuhr and Chester Boss,
who were around for a while last
year, Harold Wlltze from Mobile and
a trio of unknown soldiers, Chnrles
Jameison, Pat Noonan and Harold
.Sherman, who came unannounced
from Memphis, Tenn., Pawtucket. R.
I., and Cardington, O., and who will,
in all probability return there just
the same way.

Omaha Quintet
Loses in Aleph
Cage Tourney
_ ✓
St. Paul Five Defeats Des
Moines Aggregation, 10-8,
in Hard Fought Game—
Shapiro Stars.
Overconfidence nearly
brought tears to t^he St. Paul
delegation of the Aleph Zadlk
Aleph organization, when the crack
Minnesota eager* barely nosed out a
10 to 8 game from the Des Moines
team Saturday night In the feature
game of the Aleph basket hall tour
nament at the Tech gymnasium.
The boys representing the Twin
Cities evidently thought they would
have things their own wav. The
Boosters fought like demons, but the
superiority of the fit. Paul boys on
the floor wa^ far too much for them
to overcome.
I>evy, diminutive fit. Paul guard,
was probably the bright light on the
floor. Time after time he would pene
irate Des Moines plays with the ease
of a veteran. Keller and Edelman also
played a good game for the winners
Anchor and Ellison were high point
men for the Des Moines squad.
Omaha's hopes to emerge victorious
from the first round were blasted
when they dropped an 18 to 14 game
to the Eineolnltes. Had the Omaha
boys been able to count with their
numerous chances from the free throw
line the story might have been re
\ersed.
fihapiro, fleety Red and Black for
Wild, frequently brought the ernw i
to Its fe*t with spectacular side sbais
The I.lncoln flash wa» all over the
floor at the same time. Schulman
and Albert played a commendable
gante. Beber and Altehular proved
to be the mainstays of the Omaha
team. These two Omahans were
forced to try P ng range basket flip
ping In an endeavor to cage goala.
In the final game of the first round
Kansas City's representatives walked
aw ay w ith a to to 2 game, from the
Council Bluffs squad. At no time
were the Missouri men in danger of
being overcome In the scoring column.
Magazine. Copeland, and Suttin did
most of Hie work for the Kansa# City
squad.
Tlte second round of the tourney
will be played this morning and the
finals will la> reeled off tonight at the
City auditorium.
