Many Entries for / V Penn Relay Races All Records for Number of Teams Expected to Be Broken This Season. Philadelphia. March 30.—Judging by the number of schools entered so far, this year's Penn Relay Carnival on Franklin field promises to break all records for number of entries and the high standard of performance. The annual carnival of lolngirded athletes will bd held Friday and Sat urday. April 25 and 26, and to date over 60 colleges have affirmatively answered Invitations. These Include many of the big colleges of the east, such as Cornell, Syracuse, Pitts burgh, Princeton, Penn State, Colum bia, Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology and Georgetown. The committee in charge of the track and field fete is especially elated by the remarkable interest ap parently harbored by mlddlewestern colleges. From the midwest section the entry list already contains Ohio State, University of. Kansas, Ohio Wesleyan, Notre Dame, Butler, Has kell Institute of Lawrence, Kan., and others. With Cambridge of England com ing; with teams coming from Canada, Cuba, the Pacific coast and south representing colleges in those sections there remains little doubt of the car nival's record-establishing success. In the interscholastic events it Is expected more than 200 schools will be entered. Last year the entries numbered more than 175, arto this jeii- ihe carnival committee may ex pect some embarrassment in hand ling ail the scholastic teams that evince a desire to paw the Franklin Field cinder path in quest of athletic honors. In the preparatory school events a new championship has been added to the list. It is the Friends' school one-mile relay, and for the title will compete Friends' School te ,ms from Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York, Washington, Locust Valley, N. Y„ and several other towns.

March ?». — The Shreveport Gass era today defeat ed the Omaha Buffaloes, 9 to 4, in the fifth ex hibition game be tween the teams. Although the visi tors hit on equal terms with the Gasmen, they were unable to bunch the knocks as effectively as did Shreveport. Fred Schemanske, the big' right hander from the Yankees, who is at tempting to work the soreness out of his arm, started the game for the Omahans. but gave way for a pinch hitter In the fourth, after he had been reached for eight hits and five runs. "Bill" Bailey finished the game and had one V>ad round, the eighth, when the Gasmen bunched three hits behind an error of the pitcher for1 three runs. Spectacular hitting by Jimmy O’Neill, Robinson and Art Griggs fea tured the Omaha offense. O’Neill tracked three blows, including a dou ble, scored one run and stole a base. Robinson drove in two runners in the ninth with a well timed hit and Griggs contributed two hits, includ ing one for two bases. The Omaha infield played brilliant ly behind Its pitchers and the work of Thompson at second was the out standing defensive feature of the game. I His feat in running beyond the right field foul line to catch a tricky pop fly by Donaldson won a big hand from the crowd. Thompson was on the starting end of one of two double plays that distinguished the efforts of the Omaha defense. Johnny Raggan, who signed with the Buffaloes, broke into the game as a pinch hitter and cracked an infield hit, although it was his first day in uniform this season. I n less Lavallie is the better man for the place, Bag gan doubtless will be Omaha’s lead off man this sepson. That has always been liis place ii\ the batting order during his many years’ service with San Antonio, Shreveport and Houston In tlio Texas league and it has been an unwritten law with every club on which he has played that the lead job is hi*. Baggan is a good waiter, smart- on the bases, a fair hitter and a ball hawk in the outfield. Raggan played 10 years In the Texas league and leaves the circuit without a blemish against his record. As a compliment to the player, the Houston club, from which he was bought by Omaha, gave him the pur ebaae price he brought. Pitcher Stanton, a left hander, re ported to the Buffaloes today and may pitch a part of Sunday's game. OMAHA. AB B H. PO.A.

CliMMISKEY. F W ORLEANS, LA., March *0-— All seem* serene among the world champion Yankee*. The players, aided by good weather on the whole, have comealong nicely 1 n conditioning. Allof the regu lars, though there are several get ting along in years, have shown no signs of rouning afoul of the scythe of Father Time. Manager Huggins expressed hla confidence In the team, on which he will stand pat, by announcing the same array that started the first bat tle of the world series last fall will play in the opening game of the sea son. This even includes the pitcher, Herb Pen nock. It is Huggins’ belief the team is more stabilized than a year ago. He says he cannot see any club beating it out unless the unforseen, which would entail a sudden blowing up of veterans and flocks of injuries, crops out in the run of the season. And such a possibility also applies, to o'her clubs, and this makes it an even proposition. He ranks the Detroit Tigers and the Cleveland Indian* aa respectively the strongest opponents, and figures the St. Louis Browns as the other first division if George Sisler can "come back" to his 1922 form. The Yankees have the best pitching staff in the league on past perform ances. etara in nearly all positions and plenty of bolstering reserves In the event of accidents. They certain ly have to be considered the one best bet tor the pennant. The "five star’’ hurling staff em braces Pam Jones, Waite Hoyt, Joe Bush, Herb PennocR and Bob Shaw key. Three youngsters, George Pip gras, Oscar Roettger, both around last season, and Milton Gaston, Pat erson, N. J., semlpro, will be car ried. AH have shown promise of doing well. As usual, Wally Pipp will be at first, Aaron Ward at second. Everett Scott at short, and Joe Dugan at third, a nifty quartet. There has been tails of "Iron Man" Scott, who has played In 1.127 consecutive games for a world record, being on the chute. One asking If It is so Is invited to see for himself. It surely locks as though Scotty Is In better condition than a year ago. The trick knee of Dugan and Pipp's bad ankle have not bothered them to date. Reserve infielders will be the clout ing Bou Gehrig, first baseman, M:ke McNally and Shortstop Ernie John son. The only man laid up is Catcher Wally Schang, who fractured a rib early in preparation, but he is ex pected back in a few days. His as sistants will be Freddy Hoffman and Benny Bengough. Two youngsters. Martin Autrey from Austin, Tex., and Duke Urban iram Buffalo, are trying to impress. Huggins thinks Autrey a sure star. Urban now la a finished receiver. The regular outfield trio will be "Babe" Ruth In right, “Whitey" Witt ir. center, and Bob Meusel in left, the old layout. Witt was naturally aware that Earl Combs, ISO,000 buy from Louisville, sought his Job. and he hustled and has shown better than the youngster. Combe is not a disappointment. He assays a pretty good player, fielding and hitting, and is very fast. But he is not quite ripe. He will be kept and put in for experience as situations dictate. "Ptnkey" Haines is a wonderful fielder, but he hasn't picked up no ticeably In hitting, despite switching from right to left. Harvey Hendricks, a slugger, though poor afield, will be kept fCr lefthand pinch hitting. "Bahe" Ruth says he expects to knock so homers, one better than hla marvelous 59 of 1921. but anticipates a tmigji task. Ruth is down to 219 pounds, lower than in a long time, but Is still a little fat. The Yanks will have no player cap. tain. Huggins will do both managing and captaining. Denver Polo Team Loses.
