Third Base Remains Uncertainty With the St Louis American League Team Pitching Staff One of Best in Junior Circuit Manager Sisler Has Been Ex perimenting With New Plays—Good Hitting 'Outfield Assured. By THOMAS L, CUMM1SKEY Mobile, Ala., April 1.—The St. I.ouis Browns are acting like a bunch oC-Jr.en out of jail. They used to be lather solemn under Lee Fohl, who, wtille he has plenty of backera as to managerial ability, was a stolid individual. The word most frequently beard la "George." That’s the first name of Sisler, the youthful manager. lie hai poise, and it Is written on him that he is the boss. But be is not a solemn fellow, even though now making a crack test to see whether or not he can continue as a player. "If Sisler can play and if we had a real third baseman," the talk goes, "We’d give any and all teams a scare. As it is, we've got our hopes. 1 es. sir!” > The morale and harmony of the Browns and their physical condi tion cannot be missed. The condi tioning seems unexplainable. It came almost overnight. The players credit it to SIsler's method of working and to Tommy BAmmell. trainer of Terry McGovern, George Dixon and Abe Attell, among others, and now in that role to the Browns. The morale and harmony are mainly due to the high regard for Sisler. Rate Real Club The Browns rate a real ball club. Their sipirt, together with playing ability, should carry them a long distance. Sisler expressed himself as pleased in general, though he did not include third hare. There are five men fighting for the assignment, and Sisler smilingly said someone or other ought to do an acceptable job. The players seeking the job are: Homer Ezzell, Frank Ellcrbe, Eugene Robertson, veterans; Toe Evans, for merly of the Senators and Indians: Simon from San Antonio and Harry Rice from Tulsa. Ezzeil, who fields nicely, held the Job most of last sea son, but he hasn't the desired ‘ punch” in his bat. All seem to bars some shortcoming. Urban Shocker, whom Sisler labels the best pitcher In the league, and he is not alone in hie opinion, is going out for 2B or 30 games. He’s husky enough to stand the gaff, but baa been slow in coming Into form. He hasn’t shown much yet. Ray Kolp la revelling in work and gives promise of making good. "Dixie” Davis is now cutting loose in early summer slyle. TTerb Pruett, the little jouthpaw, showed up packing more weight than usual, which was wholly pleasing. He is experimenting with a fast ball, along with hie deceptive fadeaway, with nice desuits. Good reports are circulated regarding Dave Dajjforth, who Is also trying new stuff; Elam VanGilder, George Grant from Terre Haute; Olln Volght, former Giant from Denver; George Eyona from Eos Angeles, and Ernest Wlngard, late of the University of Alabama. Good Hurling Staff The hurling staff, on its showing, is figured to do a ^ood job. The club is banking on Sisler at first, though he has not yet reached a de cision about his eyesight which, af fected by sinus, kept him out all ' last season. Marty McManus at sec ond, and Walter Gerber at short, need no explanation. They're two of the best in the game. "Dutch” Schliebner, ill with blood poisoning, is Slsler's understudy. The outfield reamers and sluggers will be Ken Williams, "Baby Doll" Jacobson, Johnny Tobin, as certain ties. Hershell Bennett and William Mizeur are trying out. The catching will be done by Hank Severeid, a star, to be assisted by Pat Collins, John Schulte and Tony Retro, are trying to tack j>n. The Browns have been experiment ing with many new play* at Slsler's direction. They want to try "smart xluff.” Instead of the old army game heretofore In vogue. Jimmy Austin, appointed manager temporarily when Eee Fohl was let out last season, is to be assistant to Sisler. They are great pals. Chet Thomas coaches the pitchers. Miss Cummings Derides Not to Enter British! Tourney Chicago, April 1.—Silas Kdith Cum n.ings, champion woman golfer of the United States, according to reports, will not compete in the British woman’s championship tournament ,’t Port Rush. Other reports say there is little likelihood of either Mis* Glenna Collett or Mi** Marlon Hol lins, former national champions, tak ing the trip abroad. Omaha Wrestler Wins. Little Rock.

((/~\ KE3 °f the greatest catches II I ever saw was not allowed," says Sam Felt man, who will play the outfield for the Standard Laundry team this season. "Gus Kuladez was the fellow who made the catch and the incident happened in 1921 when we were both members of the Drlve-It-Y'our self team, and we were battling for a city championship at Fort Omaha. A barn was built in the left field on the diamonds, that is, part of it was on fair territory and the other part on foul ground. A large crowd was sitting along the left field foul line. ‘‘In the fifth inning one of the oppo nents’ batsmen hit a long fly which went over the shed. Gus.’who was playing the left garden, .started on the run and from where I stood the shed didn't interfere with the view of the ball. I saw the fleet-footed out fielder grab the sphere with one paw; but the ’limp’ said that the shed pre vented him* from seeing the great catch and he refused to allow the play, but ruled the hit fair and allowed the runner to reach second base. "Luckily this play didn’t interfere with the final result of the game; hut the catch will always be remem bered by ine and my fellow mem bers of the I)rive-lt-Yourself club, which won the city championship.” Hale to Gassers on Trial-Herd Breaks Camp Veteran Omaha Backstop to Play With Shreveport —Team Needs Pitchers. Shreveport. La., April 1.—Barney Burch, owner o fthe Omaha Western league Buffaloes, announced Monday night that he had sold Catcher George Hale, veteran or the Omaha club, -1 to Shreveport on a 30-day trial.

The Buffaloes broke camp at Shreveport after having an in-and-out training season. Bad weather made good training impossible and as a result the pitchers have sore arms, and the catchers are not in good con dltion. Nearly every member of the sfluad has some ache. Burrli is after three more pitch ers. Hailey, Iiee, lollop and Seher nianske compose the Omaha hurling staff to date, Griggs, Thompson, rhelps, O'Neil and Wilcox make up the Infield, with Joe Bonowitz, Baggan, 1 .availle and Brown etill trying out for the out field berths. iBasdbaUPoiwI Frunk < ltam*«* will mil M«»mne active management of tjic t'lii* ago Whito fcox when fh* club reache* Chattanooga the end of this woek. as had been expected.

Mich., March 31.—Sid Bar barlan of Detroit won from Harry Mason, Knglish and Kuropean light weight champion, In a 10 round bout here tonight in the opinion of neAvs paper moil. Barbarian was credited with every round, and Mason with a. poor showing throughout. gperial Dispatch to The Omaha Bee. Youngstown, O., March 31,—Like the proverbial March that came In like a lamb and went out like a lion, was Morrie Schlalfer, Omaha welter weight, in his 12-round bout with Jimmy Jones, local welterweight here tonight. SchlaiCer was the meekest little animal that ever followed Mary to school for eight rounds, during whioh time Jones belted him all over the ring with smashing right upper cuts, jolting lefts and wicked hooks and crosse*. Then Morrie changed his spots and took on the ferocious ness of a mountain lion. Ilia quick change enabled him to even the ninth and tenth rounds. Then as his fury increased he had Jones holding on for dear life In the eleventh and twelfth, the local boy being so tired that it was with diffi culty he weathered the storm. It was a welcome final hell for Jimmy, How ever, Schlaifer delayed his drive too long with the result that even his spectacular showing in the last two rounds were not sufficient to over come the commanding lead which Jonea had piled up in the early rounds and the bout was called a draw. Time and again both boys were rocked and ataggered with smashing punches but neither scored a knock down, Schlaifer suffered a badly rut right eve, while Jones bled from the mouth in the last round Schlaifer came dose to spoiling the program which by the way established a reeord for attends nr* and receipts at an indoor show here, the gross re ceipts being $10,000. The Omaha hoy weighed In at 151 3 4 pound*, while Jones weighed only 144 3 4. Jones' manager, Mick titambaugh, claimed the $100 forfeit for weightjmd threatened to call off Jimmy's appear ance. However, he permitted the show to go on. hut not until It was announced that It was a case of a welterweight meeting a middleweight. Tommy Walsh and Pat Boyle were In Sehlalf er's corner.

March 31.—Tommy Gibbons, St. Paul heavy, scored a technical knockout over "Soldier" I-ee of Chicago In the third round of a scheduled 8-round bout here tonight.

Tho somber ( nr nelius, If you re ineniber, startled the H orld last spring when his •'lub stepped right out and threatened to spread eagle ^ J lit* field. The Athletic* blew, and finished seventh, all because they lacked the punch to support very good pitching. The punch 1a preaent here now. There appear* to be no good reason why the pitchers should not give «» good an account of themselves as any staff In the circuit. v Connie'* new regulars, supposed to make the team a hilling power, are Paul Strand, outfielder, who hit .391 in Salt lake; Al Simmons, outfielder, who registered .398 with Milwaukee, anti Max Bishop, second hasetnan, who rung tip .333 in Bal timore. Strand Is a converted pitcher, for merly with tile Braves. He hurt his arm and fop four years lias been a slugging outfielder. Siminotia is a midget fence buster. Ilea a kid with speed and cleverness and Mack has him elected to he a real aensatlon. Bishop guarded the keyatone for five >A-ars for Jack rtutin'a Interna tional champions. He has been on the verge of coming up for a long time, the price was always too "high. At the present writing he has chased Jimmy Dykes off the bag. Thrse three chaps slf(ed into the lineup give the Athletics the most pretentious team they hate lisd since winning pennants was a habit with the dull. Hauser, mi first, the clubs only .300 hitter in 1953. Bish op on second. Hallowny, one of the best, at short, and Sammy Hale, finally eoniing into his own at third, make up an Infield many tennis could use. Strand and Simmons in the gar den leave one place vacant for Mc (iowaii. Welch and Miller to fight for. Perkins, Hrtiggy and Rowland are plenty of catchers. The Markian pitchers will be the i.-ime regular bunch—Rommel), Har ris, Helmach, Naylor and Ogden. U. of Washington Women Kifle Shooter* Win Meet Seattle, Wash..

(bint round Young Stribling Easily Defeats Champ TVIeTigue Return Bout Between These Scrappers Would Only Be Repetition—Champ Knocked Down. By DAVIS J. WALSH. EW YORK. April 1. —The only fistic champion of this world who has yet sufficient evidence that he Is entitled to tne nonor in question contriv ed to fool some of the people all of the time by a matter of some flv.fiOO at'Newark last night. His name is Mike Me Tigue, his title is world's light heavyweight champion and liis idea of box fight ing is to hide behind the nape of his neck after the manner of the hermit crab. McTigue engaged in a return bout with “Voung" Stribling, the (ieorgia school boy, and only the fact that .New Jersey does not lend counte nance to official decisions prevented the championship from changing hands, as would have been eminent ly right and proper. Stribling led from the opening punch, carried nine out of 12 rounds and scored a knockdown in the 10th. McTigue did nothing all evening. After the jovial little pastime had been concluded word was received that Columbus, Ca.. would be pleased to have the boys do business there again for $15,000. It is to laugh. McTigue wouldn't venture south of Philadelphia with Stribling for the legal right to paint gold twenties on one dollar bills. The young man from fieorgia can outstep this so-called champion of ours at any time or place and Mc Tigue acted Monday night as though he were well aware of that particular fact. If the hout had anything in common witli the for mer meeting at Columbus, we can't blame the good citizens of that com munity for becoming so affronted at Harry Krtle's draw decision that they were all for giving the north ern guests a free ride on a thin rail. McTlgue save the poorest excuse of a championship performance it has o-. er been the writer's displeasure to view. He got an even break in the, r.rst round, carried the second and eight and spent the rest of the evening trying to stall his way to the final U1I. He succeeded to the everlasting regret of 11,000 customers who paid M0.1"!>10 to witness a foot race. 8fribling finally caught our hero In the 10th round with a right to the jaw. It was one of the few derisive punches of Hie encounter. Stribltng had his chance to put Mr Tigur out, but didn't make the best of it, missing many a sincere sock in its effort* to end it all. However, he has the satisfaction ' being recognised os the uncrowned champion of the disision. He nerd meet Mike McTlgue no more to prove himself the latter'a master.
