Miller salutes O'Connell and Kamm as Giants draw on coast stars
Jack Miller, manager of the San Francisco club, praises Jim O'Connell as a future star and Willie Kamm as worth the $100,000 price. He notes O'Connell's speed and fielding, Kamm's infield work, and a young pitching prospect Oliver Mitchell as a standout. He lists Giants depth at short and catcher, and cites Pat Shea, Hodges, Courtney, and other Coast veterans.

Will Uncle Robbie Tame Wild Harry Harper Dodgers Need Southpaw
New York reports on Harry Harper a wild right or left hander seeking a comeback with the Brooklyn Robins in spring training. The veteran pitcher, who left the Yankees in 1924, has spent time with semi pro squads and is viewed as needing improved control to fit Robins plans for a second southpaw in the rotation. Harper’s major league career includes stints with the Senators Red Sox and Yankees from 1910 to 1921, with his best season in 1918 and a history of high walks and fluctuating run support.
