THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 10, 1927 THE OGDEN STANDARD EXAMINER ADDITIONAL SPORT NEWS BAMBINOMAKES READY FOR NEW BASEBALL RAGE Spencer Adams May Lose Out In Fight for Post With New Yorkers By BYROX BELL PETERSBURG, March (By The Associated Press) --Babo Ruth is in the lineup and all's well with tho Yankees. The slugging outfielder in practice to pick up his home run hitting where he left off in the worla Dories and the other players 'believe New York will vide to another-American league pennant on tho big bat of, the Babe. Those believe "As sots, so goes the Yankees." find much to please them in spring training program as Ruth slams the ball to distant places. Only a fow pounds above his abnormal foif an ordinary athlete that him in the proverbial plnJ: of condition, tho homo hitter scorns certain to be right at the top of his gamo when the season opens. SOME COST To support the Babe, Managoi Miller Hugglns will offer the samo cost he used to win the, pennant last season.

Ho will havo added starters in the reserves but will stand pat. on tho regulars. With Gohrig. Lazzerl, Koenig, Dugan enlisted for the duration of the ijaseball war, the. in- lield contest Is for assistant to Mike Gazella, who- has again first utility call.

Ray Morohart who came from tho White Sox and Julian Wera, from St. Paul havo shown so much in tho spring camp that Spencor Adams may be pushed aside. There are several other young inlifiiOers scampe.ring about the field but Wera has an edge among those trying to break into tho majors ror tho first time. Playing fhirii or short equally well, he gets the ball away quickly and covers much territory. Close observers would not be surprised to see him win a place.

A similar situation exists in the outi'ield. Ruth, Coombs and Meu- sol arc fixtures with Paschal no less -firmly entrenched as extra juan. rurst, obtained from the in a trade by which Sam Jones, went to St. Louis, is said to have been brought oa because ho is a left handed hitter. Elias whoso release was purchased from Oklahoma City has shown a great in practice and he, too.

is a left hand batsman.

It seems certain early in tho KAine that Myles Thomas and Waller Beall. who spent most of their in the bull pen year will be given more opportunity to do their stuff this season.

Thomas especially has shown greatly improved form. Of the new men on the staff. George Plpgras. bought from St. Paul will bo kept and may be a starting pitcher.

Wiley Moore, who SO games for Greenville, of thu South Atlantic association last year seems to have an excellent chance to remain under the big top. He is a big fellow with impressive "stuff" and a decided capacity for work. "Manager Hupgins expects to again pin his faith on Pennock, Hoyt, and Shocker as his. shock troops on the mound. "Wo will be better than we wera last year" said Hug, in sizing up situation, "but so will the oth.

Without reckoning on who is something a dark horse, the B.

Y. U. team looks like a cinch to win, having the western division meet with more points than those of her sister schools combined. The presence of such men as Christopherson and "her team well-nigh insures Were it possible for Shields to enter every event he could probably win the meet alone, as he is so- speedy and untiring-. Y.

will be entered in the 100, 22.0 and either the. relay or the 40-yard free style events. Christopherson looks the diving as well as being a sure point getter in the style. For his third' event he will swim either the backstroke or the relay." According to C. L.

Leaf, coach of the team, the Utah Affffies should place second. Providing Shields swims in the relay lips will have no trouble winning the 40-yard free style, while Olsen and Flamm seem good for place in- the 220 free style and diving events. Utah appear? especially strong in 'Sanders, backstroke ace, and Wpiyht in the diving. Inasmuch as' these events are reported to be Montana's mainstays, the meet may develop a classic battle-of the waters between these two schools with Christophersen and Booth of tho 'Y," and the Wyoming entry adding ever more competition to the fray.
