BOSTON BRAVES WILL NOT FINISH IN LAST PLACE This Is the Opinion of Billy Evans, Who Looked Them Over in Camp—Players Confident They Can Break Jinx,

Rv RII,UY EVANS ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.. March 27. —The Roston Braves will not finish last in the National League this year The Braves at this time last year were picked for the first division, a possible pennant contender, yet they finished a. bad lasi . In tlio spring of 1922, Manager McGrow of the New York Giants, In sizing up the opposition, expressed the opinion that the Braves would make trouble. The drop to the cellar position was an awful, blow to Manager Fred Mitchell and his veteran players. They are equally positive that the club will not repeat os a tall-ender. In fact, some of the more optimistic are sure of fifth place, and hint at the possibility of a first division berth. Braves’ Board of Strategy One of the things that Impressed me at the Braves' training camp was Mitchell’s board of strategy. The veteran Dick Rudolph, one of the smartest pitchers that ever threw a bail, looked after the recruit twirler. lie was ably assisted in his efforts by Charley Farrell, on? of the greatest catchers that ever donned a glove. Handing out pointers to the young infielders was Arthur Devlin, who, as member of the New York Giants, won the honor of being classed as one of the greatest third sackers in the history of the game. As I watched the Braves at prac-

Ho has seen many highly touted stars come and go, yet his crown remains undimmed in many respects. When he finally passes out of the limelight his name for years will grace baseball’s hall of fame. Traveling at top speed all the time has been the big idea of this star. Despite tbe wear and teat of many a campaign he Is still able to step with the best of them. Regard less of the ability that he has shown durfng his career, like many c’her stars, ho found it difficult to break In. The sport sheets have quite frequently featured his face.

FIRPO MATCHED WITH SLOGGER Farmer Lodge Has Terrific Wallop—Meet May 12, By ( nited Sewn NEW YORK, March 27.—Two of the most destructive young persons outside of ja.ll have been put under contract to do all possible damage to one another, within the prize-ring rules, In the semi final fight at the Yankee’s ball park. May 12, the place and date of Jess Willard’s meeting with Floyd Johnson. These star dovasticators are Luis Angelo Firpo, who sent Bill Brennan to bed for a week with bunions on his brain, and Farmer Ixnlgo, the Minneapolis Jawbreaker. Tex Rickard, promoting the bout on behalf of the New Y'ork milk fund, announces that there will be 1,616 pounds of art on view in this charity exhibition. Including Willard, Johnson, Firpo, Lodge, Young Bob Fltzsommons, Harry Drake of England; Charlie McKenna and Carlos S< aglia, the South American light heavyweight.

tice and in actual competition, it seemed impossible that club with as much strong) h as Boston could pns sibly finish in last place. A talk with a few of the veterans will readily ex plain the reverse suffered by the Braves in 1922. Boston < lub Was Jinxed I talked it over with Hank Gowdy, who looks in wonderful shape and who seems destined to do much of Boston’s catching, rather than being shipped to the minors as Dame Rumor had it last winter. “From the very beginning to the end of last season the Boston c-lub was jinxed.” explained Hank. "Only two of the regular players escaped injury. At one time in Chi cago ke had only sixteen players in uniform, and two of those were in no condition to piay. On fifty different occasions last year some regular was forced out of the game because of in juries. Billy Southworth and Tony Broeckel, two of our best men, were out of it a greater part of the year. "Remember how the New York American club was killed off in 191 1; because of injuries, when It. seemec the team had a chance for the pen nant? Well, we had twice as mud tough luck last year. “No club could stand up under what we did last season, it was inevitable that we sink to the depths of base ball, last place.’’ All the other veterans said Amen to Gowdy's words.

KRUEGER ALL SET FOR ANOTHER BIG li TRIBE Bulky Backstop, After Winter in Florida, in Fine Shape for 1923 Campaign. By Times Special BOGALUSA. La., March 27. —Catcher Ernie Krueger gives every promise of lii-m : ih•> same outstanding figure with the Indians this year as he was in 1922. The former Brooklyn Dodger is taking the training work in easy doses and he will be found right up to the mark when the A. A. pennant raca starts. Ernie is a veteran of many Southern training trips, and he is well versed in the tricks of tuning up throwing arms and batting eyes. Krueger spent the winter in Florida and reported at Bogalusa with not a pound of extra weight. His throwing arm is his heaviest worry in the p. hi- c-s not intend o run any chance of straining it. He wants to be certain of having it at its best on opening day, April 19. Krueger is one Tribe fixture who is a positive fifixture. His big bat has a powerful stroke and he is one of the lyeadlng batting catchers of the league. St. Paul and Kansas City have tried to arrange deals for him, which means he is highly regarded around the circuit. Kansas City has made two attempts to induce Owner Smith to part with Krueger. The answer to both Saints and Blues was an emphatic "No.” Indianapolis likes Krueger and Krueger enjoys playing with the Indians. He hit .321 in 1922 and drove in ninety-nine runs. He was in the home run class also with seventeen circuit clouts. Haughton Gets Assistant Bp I nited Press NEW YORK, March 27.—-Douglas Lawson, Williams’ line coach, has resigned and will act as assistant to Percy Haughton, new Columbia coach.
