PITCHER
WANTS to:
COME BACK
Gebrge Pennington, Repentant,
Wants Another Chance With
Portland; Kamiri to Majors.
By George Bertz '
THE future of Pitcher George Penn
ington, who jumped the Beavers last
season, is hanging in balance and may
be swung one way or the other In the
very near future.
Pennington, It is said, is repentant
and wants to come back to the Beaver
fold, but there is little likelihood of
Manager Walter McCredie taking him
back, unless his holdouts reach such a
number that he will be forced to call
on the rotund hurler..
HOW1ET WANTS HIM
Dan Howley, former catcher of . yce
Beavers, who is now manager of he
Hartford team of the Eastern leaguej
wants i-ennington, but as yet has made
no satisfactory offer for the pitcher.
Pennington imagines he's a big league
box artist, but there's little demand for
his services in the majors, only one club
seeking him after McCredie placed him
on the suspended list. ,
Mac Is pretty much peeved at Penning
ton because his "hurdling" act caused
the Beavers to slump after they had
started an upward climb In the pennant
race laatyear.
PIRATES GET KAMM
Willie Karara, the sensational young
Infielder of the San Francisco Seals,
will be with the Pittsburg Nationals this
year. Arrangements for a trade, involv
ing four players, is nearing a close,
Walter Schmidt, the former Seal catcher,
representative of the Tirates, announced.
When Kamm reports, Pittsburg is to
turn over a pitcher and an outfielder
and If he makes good two other players
will be released to the Seals.
With Kamm going, Graham will fall
back on Jimmy Hamilton for his third
sacker. Quoting Richard L. (Laughln-
waterf Williams, the blonde leader of
the Moose Jaw club of the 1 Western
Canada league, the former St Mary's
lad is a better ballplayer than Kamm,
Hamilton has had more experience than
Kamm and is a much better hitter.
, ,
The ' Seals will open their training
camp at Byron Springs March,!, five
days after the pitchers and catchers have
been put through the preliminary paces.
...
Bill Rodgers' disposal of Arthur Griggs
may mean that William Stumpf will be
used at first base by the "Rawmeat"
leader this season. Stumpf is capable
of playing a fair came at the initial
corner. -"
TVEW YORK. Feb. 4.(I. N. &
X1 Nineteen-jtwenty promises td be
a mighty busy year for Benny Leon
ard, dapper little boss of the light
weight division. If he chooses to
make it so.
Leonard is in demand everywhere, and
whHe the present day crop of lightweight
challengers Is not an Imposing one by
any means, there are plenty of boys
boxing around 1S3 pounds who are eager
to mingle with "Benneh."' '
Johnny Dundee has first call, and
Johnny widget another chance at the
champion In the near future when the
late lamented 20-round affair, canceled
at New fcaven, Is pared to eight rounds
and transferred to New Jersey.
DUNDEE IS BEST
Leonard says Dundee is the best of his
many rivals. But there are others. Lew
Tendler, the Philadelphia southpaw, will
get his chance at Benny before many
months have passed if he wants It. The
MltcheU brothers (Richie and Pinkie).
Charley White, Joe Welling and WiUie
Jackson are also on the waltina -list.
and the promoters will have no trouble
putting the zip into the lightweight dl
vision. ,
meres anotner lad who has -just "ar
rived" at the point where he is demand'
ing recognition. His name is Eddie Fits
Simmons and he is a New York product.
Eddie has been boxing more or less
since 1914, but he never attracted a great
deal of attention until he got under
Danny Morgan's wing. Of late he feat
cut some figure, with Morgan hurling
adjectives and salvos and -tossing' Eddie's
hat into the front yards of all the rood
lightweights from Leonard on down the
line,
HAS GOOD RECORD
Fitzshhmons' record as submitted 'by
Dumb. ?paniel proves that he is ready
for the best boys In his division. He
has scored knockouts and won from
many good, tough boye .over distances
varying from 8 to 12 rounds. . He has
beaten such bovs aa Phil Bloom. .Tnhnnv
brummle, Oscar Gardner,- Paul Doyle.
Charley White, Louie Mogash and Young
Borrel, and has knockout victories over
Ray Rivers,. Shaver O'Brien, Harry Carl
son and Patsy Cline.
If Fits is what Danny claims he is
and he sure looks like a comer from
this distance he deserves his chance.
The lightweight crop is none too bril
liant, especially since Leonard stands out
-so prominently above all the rest, and
the advent of a newcomer who has the
earmarks of class is generally weleomed.
ANTIPODES STAB TOUTED
Fistic managers throughout the coun
try are combing the gyms for lightweight
material. Billy Gibson has even gone
so far. as to put out a line for a boy
ot promise who may step- Into Leonard's
shoes some day when the time arrives
for his divorce from the title. Gibson
has selected Joe Benjamin, the California
lightweight, as a probable successor to
Leonard, and though Joe has a lot to
learn, he is a boxer of no mean promise.
In far-off Australia they believe .that
Llew Edwards, the Antipodean Cham
pfon, is better than Leonard. George-j
iJalllleu. who visited this countsy as well
as England and France, In search, of
boxers to appear at the Stadium In Syd
ney, saw Leonard, and Soldier Bartfield
box m4 Philadelphia and went back
home with the report that Edwards Is
oy iar tne Better or the two.
