Fournier decided It would lower his professional prestige to play with the Dodgers, and so he has leased himself out as manager of a semi-pro club In lower mmols. " Robinson has found an able understudy in Fred Schleibner, a recruit from little Rock, who has developed in the last few days a priceless confidence In himself when at bat. His fielding has been excellent from the start-, but It did seem for a time he was not capable with the stick.

FARRELL United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK. April S Reports that i Jess Willard is Betting ready for the Floyd Johnson fight In The wax’ he preI pared for Tack Dempsey caused the New York boxing commission today to summon the former champion to New York to finish his training. Willard, It will bn remembered, took Dempsey so lightly when he was prepar- | ing to defend his title in Toledo that ■ he refused to work when the sun was too i hot. and It was hot most of the time Through some of the underground channels In which most of thk tight gossip Is transmitted, it Is reported here j that Willard had cut the * pay of his I sparring partners in his Excelsior : Springs camp and that they were prej paring to cull a strike. Tne boxing commission apparently ; heard the stories ana Wlllium Muldoon j ordered the huge Roman to como on fi> New > ork and let some of the big exi perts see him doing his stuff Upon investigation It was found that 1 the reports were at least partially uni truo. It seems that Willard was not ! '-ntisfied with the work of his trainer, j and he set about dismissal of his hani dler by cutting his pay. j Willard, who is to fight for tbe New i York milk fund—and $25,000 has been I considered more or less of an unreriun quantity to go against Floyd Johnson, land provisions were made some time i ago to shoot Luis Firpo. tn South | American giant, against Johnson if Y.’U--1 lard should not be ready.

CONNIE MACK'S TEAM DISPLAYS MUCH PROMISE Athletics Will Make J rouble for a Lot of Teams During the Season, By BILLY EVANS ATLANTA. Ga.. April 3. "Have you seen the Athletics? How does Connie's team look?" In every training camp that I have vi ited those two questions have been fired at me. Ail of which makes It seem that the other American League managers have i onslderablo respect for Mack'3 proteges. , , Well, I have had a chance to look over Mack's athletes. I am convinced that the fears a number of clubs have for the strength of Mack's club are well founded. The Athletics have gotten over the experimental stage Mack hasn't very far M go before he has a well-rounded ball club. Connie's team Is certain to be a mighty troublesome aggregation on the American League circuit this year. About the New Players Win * only one or two of the recruits may break into the line-up very often. ■ Connie undoubtedly has bo.no likely looking material. Os the outfield recruits. "Wld” Matthews. last year with Milwaukee In the American Association, has the best cliar.ce to win himself a regular berth. M itthews iaii't a big fellow, being mu a more on the Wee Willie Keelor type than the Babe Ruth model. y isn't going to establi-h any home-run records, but he Is going to be on the hares a lot nmre than players who will hit 3‘- p ‘nt* more than he does. The Milwaukee recruit is a left-handed Litter and thrower, and very fast. He l.s a hard man to pitch to and looks ilke on ideal lead-off man. Ho makes ti e pitcher get 'em over and then mixes things up. The home-run germ hasn't hit him because ho is far too light to ever win fame as a circuit clouter. Instead, Matthew-, mixes a bunt or drag with un im . . uial healthy swing, so that he alv.'a, has tl o opposition guessing F.it:.my liale. who cost Mack a lot of rr • . ha been Jlr.xed the greater part , ; the training trip A severe cold made him go sow at the start, and Just as he v..s rounding Into shape a spike wound laid him up for repairs lfah< cun hit There Is no doubt about that. Probably Hale will never equal Jimmy Collins or Bill Bradley as a tl-.der. lit he will more than hold hi* own in that department It looks as ts Kale win be worth every oent Maok spent for him. . Hale will rofind out Mack's Infield with Galloway at short, Jimmy Dykes at s<- ond aul Hauser at first. Quite some infield, young and full of pep. It will turn in many a play worth seeing the coming summer. Outfield Is Doubtful For his outfidd Mack has three veterans. Tilly Walker, Frank Welch and Ming Miller, also three youngsters in M Gov.an. Fren h and Matthews. The r t. three are tight.-handed batsmen, the latter trio left-handers. McGowan Is a beautiful fielder. He has a tiiro position at the plate and should l.t If McGowan is able to hit there will he no keeping him out of the line-up He has every other ai,et.

O'ROURKE AND MULDOON IN FIGHT FOR POWER Fistic Situation In New York Sees ( !;usli of "Influential^.” l: u United \>i r* NEW YORK, April 3. One Irishman or another is bound to be whipped in the present struggle of mighty Celts over the KUbano-Crlqul fight, which Is on the schedule for Juno at the Polo grounds, with Kllbar.e's featherweight title at stake. Tom O'Rourke, former member of the boxing commission, a physical giant like Commissioner Muldoon himself. has shipped the commissioner with heavy Verbal wallops. O Rourks Is promoting the Kilbane-Crlqui show and Muldoon Is opposing It because lie long ago saw lit to vote the title away from Ktlbane.
