(AP) The storm clouds lifted and it was fair weather in Florida today where most of the major league baseball clubs are grooming their 1927 season hopes for the big push toward the October pennant awarding. The same warm sunny rays brightened Ray Schalk and hi little "rays" as they did a heavy day's work at Shreveport, and it also shone with enough force over Texas to drive warm xephyrs for a while at San Antonio for Detroit's aspirants. The weather was so favorable that managers, who yesterday curtailed or did away entirely with practice, today served an extra portion and had bats cracking and the ball sailing until late this afternoon. Save Bancroft decided that, with practically all of his squad on hand, they should indulge in a little real playing.

He divided the Braves Into a couple of squads and sent them against each other. He Will select line-up from the two nines to meet the Senators Saturday in the first regularly played exhibition game of the season. "Bucky" Harris also did a little setting house in order for the entertainment of Boston by turning his pitchers loose full force with Muddy Reul and Benny Tate taking their offerings. The hold out atmosphere that was thick a week ago had purified itself today until merely a haxe hung here and there, most noticeable over the quarters of the Cincinnati Red Legs where Hendrix has four absentees. The Yankees at St.

Petersburg are especially looking forward to Sunday when the Bambino will step off a southbound train and begin his activities. The Robins also have the samo day to look forward to as the coming of several of Uncle Wilbert Robinson's men Is set then. The Phillies, training at Braden-ton, expect the vanguard of their regulars Saturday and Mclnnis will get down to real work then.

Edward Johnson, Celebrated Tenor working, and again pinned Mike on the ropes.

Two lefts seeped through Mike's defense but that was all. Mike led with the right, the punch that knocked out Berlenbach. It landed flush on Sharkey's chin but he didn't even blink. Mike went back to boxing again. Sharkey didn't want that.

He drove two left hooks to Mike's chin on the ropes, and coming out stopped a pretty uppercut to put his right into Mike's stomach. Sharkey's eye was almost completely closed at the bell. ROUND EIGHT Mike was moving backwards at a fast cllp now, sprinkling a trail of annoying left jabs in his rear. Sharkey took them 'all, mostly on the left; eye and cut mouth. Mlka suddenly took the offensive crashing rights and lefts to Sharkey's head as they floundered Into the ropes.

It was over in a second but Sharkey tried the boxing stunt now. He couldn't Jab Mike and he was so rough in the clinches that McTigue warned Sharkey personally after the bell ended the round. ROUND NINE Sharkey drove a pretty left hook through Mike's guard, they locked left hand slugs with rights half way around the ring. Sharkey's youth and strength kept him constantly attacking. Mike was anxious to box only.

It was a Jabbing match again, with little excitement. As they boxed and showed their technical ability right up to the bell. ROUND TEN Sharkey jabbed and clinched. Mike jabbed' and clinched. Then Sharkey did it all over again.

Mike was backed into the ropes and he stood there while Sharkey tried to find a weak spot. Mike was too crafty so they went back to jabbing. Sharkey crashed a right and left hook to the 'head on the ropes and Mike boxed In dead earnest. Another right bounced off Mike's chin. A left hook almost pinned Mike, now groggy, on the ropes, but the "bell" halted the skirmish.

ROUND Ji LEVEN McTlgue was weakening and content to jab. Sharkey drove him into the ropes and hammered three clubbing lefts Into Mike's face. McTigue broke clear, dlxsy and blinky. but still boxing for all he was worth. Sharkey's left hook doubled Mike In agony near the ropes when the blow appeared to be foul.

Mike half doubled up but went back to battle at the xeferee's insistence. Mike was slower now, and Sharkey's lefts reached his head frequently. They stood and leered at each other from swollen eyes and bloody lips after the bell should have sent them to rest. ROUND TWELVE Sharkey drove a- heavy left to McTigue'a head and blood poured from his mouth. He was spitting mouthfuls of blood reeling back from a steady hammering when the referee stepped in to stop1 the bont.

It was almost closed now.

Sharkey ploughed In gamely but could not touch the elusive Michael although the bold Irishman seemed a bit tkfd. Mlke'a left and right counters plunked solidly into Sharkey's body as he charged forward, and the Boston boy was plainly worried at the bell. ROUND SIX The pace was slower now as they danced around and confined their efforts to popping lefts.
