SOXSGLEFOa. CUBS; TAKE OVER ISLAND TRAINING QUARTERS TODAY GAMASjTIIEl START TO LABOR w4 Full Cast. Except Appling, Walker Stays on Mainland to See Holdouts. Reports to Fdnseca. 1 BY EDWARD BUCNS.

Chleaco Tribune Press Berrice.1 Pasadena, CaL, March 8. The entire White Sox cast, excepting only wandering Luke Appling, was on hand this morning for the first scheduled practice of the full company. Presi- dent Lou Comiskey and Vice President Harry Grablner Insisted that Appling is not a holdout. Several times since Appling has been a member of the Sox he has boarded the wrong train In starting for the training base. Two years ago BY IRVING VAUGHAN.

Chicago Tribune Press Service. Yuma, March 3. The citizens of Catalina island, will perform their annual baseball ritual tomorrow. The occasion will be the arrival, for the thirteenth consecutive year, of Chicago's Cubs in quest of physical perfection. Jimmy the Barber's nondescript brass band will be down at the boat side, there will be a lot of handshaking and general commotion and the Island then will settle back into Its customary routine.

While the Cubs are greeting old friends and settling themselves for a ten day stay William Walker, the club president, will be engaged at Los Angeles talking business with Charles Root and Floyd Babe Herman. These boys have balked over terms but no great difficulty is anticipated. Infielder Billy Herman also is listed with the unsigned, but whether he will show up tomorrow to share in the salary discussions isn't known. Last reports had the young man on his cattle ranch somewhere In Texas. Go to Work Tomorrow.

Actual training labors for the Chi-cagoans will get under way Monday morning as soon as the dew lifts from the grass and the worries of Manager when the club split Its training at Mineral Wells and Saa Tex Luke wandered about the nation for days and days before getting his bearings. Another year he forgot the re porting date until somebody noticed he was hanging around Atlanta later than usual and told him he was tardy. In view of this history, there Is little anxiety about Appling except the nab ural fear that he may get run over en route. No Shoes No Workout. Two other athletes, though they were present, did not work out.

Sam j7 mi 11 i Jones and Jack Hayes forwarded their spiked shoes by air mail a week ago. The shoes haven't arrived, and neither Sam nor Jack donned suits. The boys won't wait longer than Monday on the air mail, however, before purchasing new footwear.

cess weight. Ted spent the off season in southwest Louisiana, where folks never get fat. Vanishing Joe Chamberlin was on -r hand in the flesh and Is not expected to do a Dillinger this year. His first work was at the plate. He knocked two balls over the center field hedge.

French TJhalt, who Is expected to play A. r-ti many games in the Sox outfield this season, also sent several out of the field. Catcher Mervyn Shea, who was in Ik v- 4 'I uniform despite his recent attack of flu, was asked to take it easy. Johnny Pasek and Morgan Snyder caught all the batting practice. The pitching was done by Pomorski, Stine, Tietje, and Wyatt.

i .1 L-vVH In the Infield practice Fonseca worked Hed Kress at second base. It is probable that Red will be asked to fight it out with Hayes for that po Grimm will then be running on full time. These are many but none will require as much attention as the outfield. Grimm's biggest problem wouldn't be present if his bosses hadn't finally been successful in their four year quest for Chuck Klein, who was right pert as a hitter with the Phillies. Klein's arrival disturbed an outfield trio which was fairly good last season despite the partial fall down of Babe Herman.

Of course, the ultimate solution of the matter may mean a better fiy chasing trio than previously, but Grimm raudt first reach the solu' tion. Because Herman was a op last year the inclination is to take it for granted that he can be counted out of the picture even before the spring exhibition tests are completed. That naturally would make matters easy for the boss, but it doesn't follow that the Babe is going to permit himself another sea-eon of suffering: The charge has been made that Herman couldn't hit last season because he ia the type which tightens up unless he's working with a team that has no thoughts of winning a pennant. If that's true of him. it still must be proved.

Star ball players who had no such complex bad their off years. Stevie Cheats the Bench. The outfield matter also would be simple If Riggs Stephenson were not around to demand attention. The old fellow has been threatening to fall apart now for three or four seasons, but to date nobody has been able to shove him back on the bench for keeps. When his infirmities permit he's in there working, and nobody excels him in the matter of producing in the pinches.

Until somebody, the Babe for Instance, can do that, Stephenson will find himself employed at something better than bench warming. The one bright feature of the situation Is that Grimm at least will be prepared for emergencies. It is almost an old custom for one or more Cubs to meet up with serious mishap either during spring training or before the season is half elapsed. KJ Cuyler for Instance, Is a sucker for Inluries. Loss of Cuyler for an extended period would be a jolt because he is about the only one really qualified to play center field.

Herman is too erratic for that position. Stevie can't cover the ground. Klein might da fairly well, although he has spent most of his career in positions where not much movement was necessary. What About Stainback? Also present among the outfielders Is George Stainback, purchased from the Wrigley owned Los Angeles team. Stainback might be the greatest prospect In years, but it so happens that he will be up against classy opposition even if Mr.

Herman is counted out. Klein hit a mere .368, Stephenson .329, Cuyler .817. and Herman .239 last season. Stainback hit the lively Coast league ball for a .325 average. However, Stainback Is young, so, if necessary, can afford to sit around on the bench until such time as one of the old fellows gets rusty.

RULE CENTENARY OUT OF SOUTHERN BASKET TOURNEY Jackson, March 3. (JP) Centenary college of Shreveport, was disqualified from the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic association basketball tournament here tonight less than an hour before the Gentlemen were to begin defense of their title. The action was taken by the executive committee of the association which met at the call of Dr. J. W.

Provine, S. A. A. president. The disqualification came as a result of the executive committee throwing out all games played by Centenary in which Marse Harper, star center, participated.

Harper recently was declared Ineligible for having taken part in athletics at a junior college before entering Centenary. Maroon Fencers Hand sition.

Jack Doyle, Broadway betting commissioner, picks the New York Giants and Washington Senators to repeat for the National and American league pennants this season, according to his f.n-nual pre-season prices. Doyle has the greatest confidence in the Senators, offering only even money against their winning, whereas he offers 8 to 2 against the Giants' chances. Because of strength acquired in the off-season, Doyle picks the Boston Red Sox to finish third in the American race. He offers only 4 to 1 against their winning. Here are Doyle's prices: today gave the Naval academy team its first defeat of the season.

The Aggies won seven of the eight bouts to triumph, 31 to 3. The Aggies, national collegiate champions of 1933, won the first six bouts and led Navy, 26 to O. but the Middles were saved from a shutout when Sully Vogel, light heavyweight, defeated Jim Dupree.

OP) Declaring the present plans of starting the National Hockey league playoffs March 20 are unfair to Toronto, Connie Smythe, manager of the Maple Leafs, said today he would petition President Frank Calder to postpone the opening game to March 22. Smythe pointed out that the Leafs are scheduled to play three games during the last four nights of the regular season, which ends March 18. He claims his team would not be at Its best for the first game with the winner of the American division, probably the Detroit Red Wings, two nights later. He will suggest to Calder that the first two games for the Stanley cup be played March 22 and 24 on the Toronto rink and the third game March 25 on the home ice pf the opposing team.
