Yes. sir, with about 18. husky burlers assorted ages just Itching to heave the ball Breadon has Imported an electric contraption to do their throwing for them. It does everything but field bunts and fake toward first base. This Frankenstein is hidden away behind the clubhouse at Waterfront Park.

-It sits menacingly at one end of a huge net, and la sighted like a rifle toward home plate. It operates like a slingshot, with a' lac ruDoervpna Deing arawn oaca by a driving chain until a release trigger sends the ball on its way. A man-stands by the machine feeding baseballs Into it like he was 'operating a mstShine to punch holes In doughnuts. The thing can be regulated to throw the ball high or low, slow or fast, and it hits the plate area 24 out of 25 times. It's chief value will be for hunting nrac' tice, although the hitter can take nis -full cut without hurting any thing, as he's all wrapped up in a net Between that device and the Vitamin pills Breadon is feeding them every day the Cardinals aren't cure whether they should be elassi- nea as bail players or laboratory specimens.

Joe Beggs, stellar relief hurler for the 1940 world champion Cincinnati Reds, and rookie Earl Petit of Birmingham became initial casualties of the training season today. A line drive ball from the bat of big Hafl Sauer hit Beggs on his pitching arm near the shoulder and a smash by Frank McCormick struck young Petit on the leg, turn ing him around. Neither was hurt seriously. General Manager War ren C. Giles arrived in camp and went into a huddle with Skipper Bill McKechnie.

Ft. Myers, Feb. 28 UP). Everybody was trying to show Ray Mack how to hit last year, so the Cleveland second baseman wss glad today that the pressure Is off this spring training season. You can't imagine-what a dif ference it makes to have that first year over with," said half of the Indiana' famed Boudreau-Mack twin killing combination.

"I'm still not taking that second baee job for granted we've got too many good men who could handle it but at least I'm not afraid every time I go to bat down here that I'll look so bad the manager will have to farm me out. Mack, who hit .283 in 1940, has set .320 as his goal for the coming campaign. Mize. Marion Holdouts St. Petersburg.

Feb. 28 UP). First Baseman Johnny Mize and Shortstop Martin Marion officially became holdouts today by failing to report at the St. Louie Cardinals training camp. Infielder Eddie Lake, Catcher Don Padgett and Pitchers Clyde Shoun and Hy Vandenberg also have not signed contracts.

The remainder of the squad, di vided into two sections, went through the Cardinals' first double feature practice. Each group will take two workouts daily.

Jenkins weighed 134, Ambers 140U. After six rounds of never a back ward step, during which he took the Texas thumper's Sunday punches, laughed them off, and marched right in dispensing his own offensive, the little Herkimer Hurricane ran into a barrage that chopped him down and lorcea Referee Arthur Donovan to call a halt at 2:26 of the seventh. A few moments later, as tears came to his eyes, despite feeble attempts at a smile, he announced bis retirement "Well, fellows," he told newspapermen. "I guess this was it. I'm all done, and I'm going back to Herkimer (N.

Y). This Is my announcement that Im through with the ring." For six rounds, It was Ambers's fight. He laughed off every one of the famed "Sunday punches" Jenkins threw. He made the "experts" who picked him to be" put to sleep in a hurry, look foolish, and he chopped away at the Texas thin man round after rouna.

As he climbed through the ropes ior Ut last uuic a who contributed to a gross gate or $46,443.26 cheered him hail and farewells It was a truly unfortunate end to one of the most surprising and certainly as game a stand as this battle ring has ever seen. The little, square-jawed Herkimer Hurricane was supposed to be all through-after -Jenkins took his world lightweight championship away with a three-round knockout last May. He was supposed to be fresh out of his biggest asset speed. He was meeting one of the most dangerous punchers the little men of the ring have ever seen.

Yet, he walked right In there and did better than good, as the crowd definitely an "Ambers crowd shook the rafters for him. During the first two rounds, however, no one thought he would make that kind of a fight of it. Jenkins rushed from his corner at the start with leaping rights and obviously trying for a quick knockout. In the second, It looked like he had it. He caught the little upstate laundryman against the ropes and nailed him with a hundred punches.

But Lou stood up under them, although wobbly. But from the third through the sixth, you would never pave guessed jenmns was me weight champion and Ambers lust the "old man" in this over-weight contest. Through these four rounds, Lou left-handed Jenkins silly. He tossed so many southpaw shots and connectedthat a befuddled look came over Jenkins's face, like when you miss one of those easy questions on a quiz program. A left gashed Jenkins's nose in the second- and another sliced open the "champ's" right eye in the third.

In the seventh, Ambers was floored In the first few seconds, and after that Jenkins shifting from the body attack he had all the way, moved in. and ripped for the head. It was a great try by the 27-year-old Italian, born Luigi D' Ambrosia, who rose above the ranks by his speed, his boxing skill and the fact that win or lose, he always laughed. This was the first time anyone ever beat him twice in a row. At the finish, Jenkins was obviously "miffed" about something, perhaps the fact that the crowd gave its cheers to his rival.

Anyway, he refused to speak into the microphone for ringside broadcasters, and didn't even wait to put his bathrobe on, but just climbed through the ropes and trotted into his dressing room, where boos followed him. To Oppose Montgomery Promoter Mike Jacobs announced tonight, after Lightweight Champion Lew Jenkins had stopped Lou Ambers in seven rounds, that Jenkins would meet Bob Montgomery of Philadelphia in a 10-round overweight match in Madison Square Garden. This will be a return bout. Jenkins outpointed the Philadelphia NWrn several months ago in the Quaker City in a fight in which Montgomery floored him once for a nine count. the honor of hlttl the club's firat over-the-fence drive in batting practice.

Nothing has been heard from DiMagglo, who presumably still is in California, Ruffing also still is on the coast having some dental work completed, but said he probably would arrive Wednesday.
