1919 troupe less ln-tricklt, because all that remains to bo done Is to sign
three more lnflelders, three outfielders and a flock of pitchers and catchers.
That will complete the personnel of the ball club. Connie believes he will
sign these athletes In the near future, but will make no ante-mortem state
ment. He Is not anticipating anything.
However, our home-training A's will not look very sad if all of the
boys on the roster come through with the John Hancock stuff. There
are some excellent athletes to draw from, some being on the other side,
while a great majority aro within mailing distance. Bates, Meyers, Noyes,
Naylor, Haley and Murphy, the kid catcher from Dartmouth, aro bathing
in the Rhine, while Witt, Grover, Schauex, Anderson, JIng Johnson, Jamie
son, Dykes, Kopp, Burns, Dugan, McAvoy, Perkins, Walker, Scott Perry
and a few others are at or near their homes. Not such a bum ball club
If the boys come back.
I A.BT year the A's had the best team that ever finished in eighth
place. Ao one knows how or why they trailed the icaguc, but it
uAll be different this season. The Quality is there, and the only
thing is to turn them loose on the diamond.
Signing of Gardner Came as a Surprise
"DUT the big noise was the signing of Gardner. No one expected to seo
- Larry on the home club in 1919, for It Is known he Is a high-salaried
person, and those guys aro not popular In this era of retrenchment. Mana
ger Mack crossed tho dopesters when their guard was down.
Early In tho winter It was reported in Cleveland that Gardner and
two others were ofTered In a trade for Bobby Roth and Joe Hums. This
later was denied, but tho story cropped out again and we beirau to t.tue it
seriously. Lee Fohl, manager of the Indians, was noncommittal and main
tained an air of secrecy which looked suspicious. Then it was rumored
the White Sox wanted Larry, but now the stuff i3 all v.et.
Gardner Is a high-class player despite his thirty-odd years. He more
than made good last year, both In fielding and at the bat. He got off to a
-poor start, but finished with a swatting average of .185. which meant ho
batted better than .300 the last two months when the pitchers were going
good. His experience steadied the other youngsters In the infield and his
11-around work makes him an ideal

"I hope to arrange a number of games this spring," said Connie, "but
can't tell what clubs they will bo with. The series with the Phillies will
give the players a great deal of practice, but if I can get another big
league club here I shall do It. At present all I have is the series with
the Phils."

Boxing Road Getting Very Rough for Fulton

U
Tex Hlckard Is. on the Inh with nn
'"' Wlllard for tho carefully hoarded
mere 127,500 will defray the expenses of tho challenger and Incidentally
pay for somo eats. Thus Furious Kredward Is erased from the scene, as
he should be, for any guy who would let out a squawk about being double
crossed bIx months after the alleged crossing Bhould be barred from tho
union. But we shouldn't be too hard on Fredward. He is 6 feet EH inches
tall, the one-half Inch being taken up by Uia forehead. The remainder of
hifl domo is used as a parking place for his hat; otherwise he would have
to carry it in his hand.
Fulton is done as a fighter. His courage always has been questioned,
and his foolish foozle proves it. A beaten man always looks sad when
be blames it on the other fellow.
Johnny Eckhardt, who refereed the battle in Harrison, N. J and
counted Fulton out, says the "confession" la ridiculous.
"There was no fake about that battle," said John. "I noticed that
, y,ulton and Mike Collins were very confident before the gong and I believe

Wright Selects Crews
Coach Joe Wright gave the lied and
Blue students the first hint as to tho
probable make-up of tho Pcnn crews
yesterday, when he picked on even doen
men for both the freshmen and varsity
eights. Twelve were selected Instead
of the usual eight, due to the fact that
the rowing machines will accommodato
this number.
Tho varsity consists of Thomas,
btroke; Wilson, Wlnslow. Sunnlee. Ilob-
erts, Ellson, Kellar, Ames, Frank, Kunz,
Shuman and Harrar. Every one fo these
men is a veteran oarsman except Shu
man nnd perhaps Kunz. Of tho eight
first named seven were members of lust
year's varsity, ahd nre virtually cer
tain of their positions. Dick Supplee,
the freshman stroke last year, has fitted
In ery nicely In the center of the boat,
and looks good for the place.
In his choice of the freshmen Wright
was treading on freshly plowed ground.
Only five of the twelve men have had
previous experience. The twelve selected
are ti. w. Armstrong, stroke ; C. It.

Will Return to Notre Dame
Former Shanalian and
Meadoivbrook Track Star
Receives His Discliarge
From Service
TO HAVE FAST TEAM
By ROBERT T, PAUL
T ii:utennt "Knnnr meehax.
Ji the former Shanahan Catholic, Club
nnd Meadowbrook Club track star, has
received his dlstcharge from the bervlco
and will return to the University of
Notre Dame.
Meehan is well known to the followers
of the cinder path activities In this
section and while competing for the local
organizations romped home In first place
on many occasions. He has been in this
city for a few days since being mustered
out of the service.
Was Anchor Man
He was anchor nun on the Notre
Dame two-mile relay team which won
tho Western Intercollegiate two-mile
chaniplonslp, botli indoor and outdoor,
and which furnished tho thrill in the
two-mile relay championship of America
at Franklin Field In 1917.
The Notre Rani'1 speed king was com
missioned at the First Officers' Training
Camp at Fort Benjamin Harrison. He
remained on this side only a short Hme
after becoming an officer and went over
seas with the 137th Field Artillery, too
late, however, to see any real action,
Meredith Enrolled
With the return of Meehan, Noe
Dame expects to have another corking
two-mile relay team. Geroge Meredith,
a cousin of the virtually invincible
"Ted," Is enrolled nt the western col-
lcgo and will land a regular berth on the
relay team.
van Kortecen and Sweeney also nre
back at Notre Dame and are running
the half Indoors close to two minutes.

YOUNG FOX RETURNS
AS TITLE ASPIRANT
Noted English Fighter Here
in the Hope of Making
Featherweight Title a
British Possession
TAKES "RAP" AT WILDE
By JAMES S. CAROLAN
TWO verycll-drcKRed strangers were
directed to this department through
a rear door by Guide Joe Slavln, the
king of engravers, yesterday. The
strangers, still carrying their sea legs
and some Flanders mud, one wearing a
decoration from the Urltlah Government,
for heroism In nctlon, the other carry
ing all the marks of much service In
the ring, entered smilingly.
One had all tho "ear" marks, of a
knight of the ring, the other looked like
the general manager of the company.
It. W. Mnxwrll gazed nt the "ear" In
signia and groaned: "He must LISTEN
to the punches."
The boys proved to ba excellent press
agents. Dcfore long every one present
was convinced that the boy with the
ear marks wns the class. It developed
that the ring warrior was Young Joe
Fox. noted Kntll'h bantam and perma
nent holder of the Txrd Lonsdale bolt
Ynunr Fox nnd his brother. Percy Fox.
! arrived In America last Saturday uboard
tho Adriatic.
They are the first nngllsh boxers to
Invade this country and they didn't
hesitate to make It known that they
were here for tho'purposo of annexing
the featherweight championship. They
havo been delegated to make this a
British possession.
Fought Here in 1914
Young Fox, Just released from the
army, where, he saw eighteen months of
service, was anxious to return to Amer
ica. He exhibited here during 1913 and
1914, battling all the leading bantam
vdghts. Ho saw plenty of service In
thin city, meeting with success such
boys as ICiUlle Campl, Young Digging,
Franklc Bradley, Billy Bevans, Dutch
Brandt. Franklo Burm1, Pekln Kid Her
man, Tommy O'Toole and others.
Tho clever Kngllsh boy has returned
a legitimate featherweight. Ho wants
Kllbane and if ho cannot get the cham
pion he ls billing to mingle with John
ny Dundee, Iicw Tendler and other good
boys who scale near the 130-pound
mark. Ho "came here becaure he
couldn't get enough of the right kind
of opposition on the other side,
Jimmy AVIldc evaded him continually,
other high class boys successfully side
stepped him and at last he decided to
visit n country where the boys meet all
comers without protest.
Discovered Early
The Fox brothers, nccompnnled by n
couple of nctors, hadn't been In thfe city
more than nn hour until dlscoered.
Tho quartet entered n haberdashery
store to purchaso protectors for Young
Toe's "listening earmarks." The clerk
Immediately thought of his friend, who
for years has been utter a good boy.
Jack Wejnsteln. perpetual chaser of a
champion, wns given the "tip" and lost
no time lu running down 'the visitors
When last seen Jack wns In n warm con
ference with the visitors nt the Hotel
Walton. The Fox brothers are friends
of Bert Crowhurst and spent a few hours
with him. It was' there ho was discov
ered by the searching Jack.

which shows more plainly the. sort of servico Clydesdale

"How is your Clydesdalo
