LEADING TEARNEY HURLER IN 1923 SHOWING UP WELL AT CAMP OF NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPS Wayland Dean Also Going (rood—Giants Look as If They Will Repeat, Provid ing Pitchers Come Through. Br NICK FLATLEY. ARASOTA. Fla.. March 25.—The cham plon New York Giant* are in the usual champi o n a h 1 p mood this spring and even at this early date are * m e d it a t ing re venge on the Yankees in the next worl d's series. The basic for said medlta • tions rests in the 0 fact that two of the new pitcher* have displayed re markable early form. Wayland Dean, the mllllnn-dollar halt* from I*»ui«ville, Ky., and lirnie Maun, a hi* boy from Wich ita, Kan., are the pair ot pitching Moses who we supposed to lend the Giants back on to the glory trail. Dean was one of the high-priced stars of the winter trading season. He Is a rangy chap and has every thing a pitcher needs in the curve line. He has been ehucklng long enough and has not any of the ear marks of the novice. Dean gave a lot of bases on hells last year and will find the clubs waiting him out on that account. Maun, slightly less advertised, is big and fast with a fine curve. Howard Baldwin, from Newark, is another chucker with more than a lifty-flfty chance to remain with the Hub. He has shown some fine pitch ing. These three sharpshooters, with Joe Oeachger, who came from the Braves, ore the only strangers who will figure on the pitching staff. McQuillan, in great spring form, Watson, Nehf, Bentley and Ryan, as well as Virgil Barnes, all seem sura of summer juhs. Bentley, an in-and-outer In 1923, hn? betn worked hard thi* spring, is in fine physical trim and has been throw ing baseballs past a lot of good hitters. Books as it the Giants will repeat, provided the pitchers come anywhere near up to expectation*. I6HIGHTEAMS IN BIG TOURNEY Chicago.

Makar Roekne to Remain at Notre Dame By Aewlitol I’rfM. South Hrnd. I ml.. March 2.V— Krmte Roekne. famous football coach at Notre Dame university, for whose services the I’niversity of Iowa was negotiating, today, signed a contract to remain at Notre Dame for ttie next 10 years. Iowa wanted Roekne as the suc cessor to Howard Jones, who ac cepted a five-year contract from Trin ity college, Durham, N. C., at a re ported salary of 110,000 a year. Rockne's contract with Notre Dame did not expire until next year. He was reported to have given Iowa athletic authorities an option on his service effective next year, but when this report reached Notre Dame alumni, hundreds of appeals began to descend upon him to remain at Notre Dam*. President Matthew Walsh of Notre Dame issued a statement announcing Rockne's decision to remain. "The president of Notre Dame uni versity, and Mr. K. K. Roekne, ath letic director and coach, wish to make' the positive denial to any ru mor that Mr. Roekne Is tn leave Notre Dame. As a pledge of Mr. Rockne's intentions, it is announced that the Notre Dame coach lias Just renewed a contract to remain at Notre Dame for the next 10 years." □OHN DENNISON, secretary of the Muny Baseball association, saya he saw George Graham, for mer Omaha Western league player, who. Dame Humor says, will play with the Carter Lake team this sea son, make the greatest play he ever witnessed at any ball game. The play happened about five years ago at the Western league park, says Dennison. The Sforz Triumphs were playing a faat col ored team. Graham was at second hasp for the brewery men when one of the rolored boys lilt a hard hall between first and second base. George, nlio was playing close to second, made a hard run for the ball, and seeing that lie couldn't reach the hit nitli Ills hands, lie gave a mighty kick at it with Ills feet and succeeded in kicking the Itorseliide right into the hands of Joe Yanoiis, who was playing first for the Brewers. The runner was retired and in John’s estimation it was some headwork on Graham's part. BLUEJAYS RESUME GRID PRACTICE Spring football practice was sgaln resumed by the Bluejays Monday night after their enforced vacation by the bad weather of the last week. Forty men were on the field In their pads and moleskins and the present outlook looks promising for a won derfully successful gridiron season in the Bluejay camp next fall. The majority of the men out are freshmen, who are going to put up a strong bid against the veterans for a berth on the varsity squad. As a whole they are big and fast and from the punting in evidence last night the team will not be lacking in this department as they were lust year.

Packers Resjumd to Baseball Call "No captain will hr chosen for this year's Isiscljall tram.'' was the an nouncement given oul Tuesday •*>' Coach Lowry of Soutn high. This 1» thr first time In the athletic history of South high that a team has played without a captain. About 10 aspirants turned out last night for baseball practice. All the letter men showed up in harness as well as a wealth of new' material. The letter men back this year are "Gitts" Clark. Roy Hoden, "Hank" Smith, Eugene Kulawlck and Joe Reeves. Clark, Reeves and Alexander will probably compete for mound honors this year. Clark pitched for the Hackers last year and will probably fling ’em again this season. Reeves, ineligible last year, pitched great ball for the championship sophomore nine, and will make a strong hid for the chucking posilion. Alexander pitched the championship Vinton school team te a championship in 1922, and should also lie a serious contender. Kula wlck, last year’s relief pitcher, will probably snag a position in the in field, probably second base* Hoden will probably be used at either first or third base, the position which he played last season. Smith will prob ably work regularly liehind the bat. The reserres that turned out were Oban, catcher; Dunn, inflelder; Alex ander, pitcher; Kratky. outfield, and J. Hernstein and I. Bernstein, in fielders. Much new material was present on the campus, some being at present signed with local amateur nines. All in all, it looks as if Coach Lowry this season will develop one of the fastest nines in the history of Pouth high. WUATS'lOUR Five big league clubs have new managers this year.
