Star Player Will - j ' Not Be in Browns* Lineup in 1924 Eye Trouble Has Become Worse—Time Will Be De voted to Developing Schleibner. Bv DAVIS J. WALSH. EW YORK. Dec. 16.—On the au thority of a St. Louis baseball man, who sel dom speaks out of the wrong side of his mouth. George Slsler will not play first lAse for the St. Louis Browns next season or probably ever again, optimistic reports to the contrary. Imperfect vision, which kept the great star Idle all of last season, has not been remedied, it seems. In fact, It has gone from had to worse and one eye Is said to be badly affected. Slsler himself is declared to have abandoned hope of playing again, but sees no reason for premature announcement of the fact. He will go south with his ball club In the spring, make an ultimate attempt to come back, and if failure awaits him, resign to the inevitable. He Is said to be extremely sensi tive about his misfortune and the agonies of the rack couldn't draw an admission of his disability at this time. To his sensitiveness Is at tributed his failure to appear at the Chicago baseball meetings, where, as manager of the Browns, he was ex pected to help Phil Ball In swinging a deal or two. Slsler either did not care to face his old friends or he deemed the long trip from California too much for him at this time. One of Sisler's first managerial duties. In the event he is unable to play, will Involve hours of personal attention to Fred Schleibner and his operations around first buse. No one knows more than Slsler about the fine technicalities of first basing, few know less than Schleibner. That young man Is afflicted with too many feet. V He came up to the Brooklyn Dodgers from the Southern associa tion. and proved to lie a good hitter, hut Fournier came through for the Dodgers and the awkward Schleib ner was wafted hence. With Slsler Incapacitated, he was claimed by the Browns on the lnterleagu# waiver rule and played regularly for the re mainder of the season. In Justice to Schleibner, it must he said that he Improved on further acquaintance and gave more than vague promises late In the season of mastering the art of feet shifting around first base. What he lacks now Slsler may be depended upon to supply. Basketball •vResnltSf, KiiiiaA» City A. C .. X9; I iilveralty of Aliwvoiili. 24. Dimhiinl, 26, DePauw, 25.

The Glutt stepped off the track looking more refreshed than a stewed rabbit. He had won, and that was enough. He Is noV going to go to San Francisco and break the transcontinental record for speed wheel chairs. The (iiutt went around those other riders like a kitten around a hall of green yarn. H*s elbows are sore from pushing greyhounds out of his way. There never has been a six-day rider like The Glutt and his partner. Bozo Huff. His great indoor record was due to the fact that he used his bean. He told Tex Rickard: "There other guys are going out on that track blind. That Is. they wont know where they are going. Is that right? Am I correct?" Tex nodded his cigar yes. The (iiutt said: “They’ll Just ride and ride and ride. I got a new system.” Tex puffed a few question marks in smoke. The (iiutt continued: “I’m go ing to have a road map. I’ll know where I’m gojng.” So The Glutt Is the first indoor six-day contestant to use u map. He always knew where he wits going and in what part of the garden he was. This gave him a great advantage over the other.riders and Is the rea son why the city of Rufftown is proud of its favorite son and is will ,ng to give him a testimonial oil can for his bicycle. „ Today The (iiutt is leaving for Africa where they say they have natives who ran run barefooted for 20 days and grow shoes on the way. The Glutt is going to run along side of the native and pick him up when he falls. Mile-High Grid Team to Seek Title Game Colorado Springs, Colo..

MAHA'8 1924 Western league baseball team will not have many new faces on its roster at the be ginning of the sea son unless the ma jor leagues go through with four deals Owner Bar ney Burch has pending. Burch returned from Chicago and the town of base ball confabs Sat urdty morning. With head hung low and mouth shut tight, Burch was ol' man gloom him self. The owner of the Buffaloes didn't have a much to say regarding his 1924 club. « The outlook for new players all de pends on what the major league clubs leave after they finish their ransack Ing of minor league material, says Barney. Burch has four deals on the fire, one, if completed will bring to Omaha one of the best catchers in the minor leagues today. We are not permitted to give his name, blit if he is secured, the Buffaloes will have a first class catcher and playing manager for the coining season. But— If the deal falls through Burch will take up (lie managerial reins and try and pilot the Buf faloes to a pennant with what material he can gather together with the help of his pocket book and all other powers. At the present Burch has an out feld composed of Dick O'Connor, Joe Honow itz and D'>n Brown, all crackin' good fielders and pretty good hitters. Barney gay* he couldn't get any out siders any better than the trio nam ed. Well, that's the outfield. In the infield Burch expects to play Nick Cullop at first until he can sign a first baseman.
