SEPORTS TO PHIIUES
! SIGMAN, WHO MADE SUCH FINE
! RECORD LAST YEAR. JOINS
TEAM IN FLORIDA
By BRIAN BELL
Associated Press Sports Writer
Winter Haven, Fla.. March 7. (A 3 )—
W. Tripp Sigman, whose bat was a
potent part of the Phillies sensational
closing drive in the last champion
i ship race, today reported to Manager
! Burt Shotton, modestly saying he hop
ed to do well in 1930, but frankly ad
.
j ! mitting that he could hardly hope to
equal his 1929 National league batting
; average. The big South Carolinian’s
! name stood at the head of all National
j league bocks batsmen, balanced when with the mark batting of
, were a
1.517.
| |cd However the team the in recruit the last outfielder few weeks join- of
: the campaign and played in less than
| c. score of games. He took full ad
i vantage of his limited opportunity and
I hit the ball hard and often.
Burt Shotton thinks Sigman is a
‘natural.” Tripp divides his time be
tween South Carolina and Georgia,
hunting ’possums and coons, when he
is not playing ball. Shotton expects
the 27-year-old slugger to take his
place without apology in the galaxy
of terrific hitters the Phillies boast.
The manager of the Phillies was
asked who on his team can hit the ball
the greatest distances.
“Don’t know for sure,” said Burt,
“but Sigman looked last year as
though he could hit it as far as any¬
one else. He hit a home run acr osi'j
Broad street that went as far as anW
ball I ever saw.”
Sigman was asked about this terri¬
fic wallop.
“Yes, of course, I remember that
homcrun,” he said. “But I don’t think
it was the hardest ball I hit with the
Chldies. The one I think I hit the
; hardest was only a single. It struck
| the light field fence on a line. I
swung my bat and when I looked up
*-he ball was bounding back from the
fence.”
Sigman comes from an athletic
family. His brother, “Big Jim” Sig

C., was heavyweight boxing champion
°* the navy and recently emerged
from his _ retirement long enough to
^ox Prime Camera at Memphis,
“Jim had not had on a glove in
months,” said Tripp, “and he hadn’t
done any road work, unless it was

fighting . the Italian and
Sigman’s $500 is $500.”
