Lincoln Club Sells Four Members
of 1922 Team-Hastings Disposes
of Pitcher Wigington to Cards
Prospects Bright for Strong Club at Lincoln This
Coming Season—Manager of “Links” Will Give
Nebraska Semi-Pro Players Chance
With Capital City Club.
1NCOLN, Neb., Jan. 19.—Nineteen Nebraska
state leaguers will get a chance at faster time
this coming season.
Four of this number were sold by the
Lincoln club. Kenneth Scott, the big Wash
ington high school boy, who accomplished the
only no-hit, no-run game in the league, and
Seymour (Hooks) Bailey, redoubtable port
sider, were snatched up by Charley Barrett,
scout for the St. Louis Cardinals.
Albert Bool, Ceresco dairyman, who had
a habit of breaking up ball games with a
four-base clout, was also added to the Cardi
nal roster. Charley Gibson, lank rightfielder. will bask in
Virginia sunshine with the Norfolk team of the Virginia state
league.
George Segrist, owner of the Fairbury club, sold more
players than any other magnate in the loop. However, he
only placed one man with a major league club, and that was
Waddy Holmes, Iowa university boy, who Segrist had under
contract, but did not report during the last season.
The American association ami Western league clubs grabbed most of bis
material. McDermott, outfielder: Ravioli, pitcher, and Rooney, shortstop,
went to Minneapolis, of the association, while Frank Isbell of Wichita bought
Goodwin, infielder. Wool folk, the "boy wonder" of the league, will get a
chance with the Toledo American association team this season.
O'Connor, Fairbury catcher, was sold to Hastings, and Rlncoln pur
chased l>ick Cleveland, third baseman, for the second time. Cleveland was
with the Kinks a. few days last summer, but he injured an ankle and was
turned back to Fairbury.
Hastings sold Wigington to the St. Rouis Cardinals. Wig was a pitcher
of no mean ability. McKee, a broad-shouldered boy from the Reatrice club,
was snapped up by the Cards.
Manager Runt Mgrr. Norfolk’s scrappy little leader, went to Springfield,
Mo., as manager of the team there, which is a member of a class C organiza
tion. Didier went back to Sioux City, and Speece, another 1 tcher, to Omaha.
Grand Island sold Faulk to rittsburgh, and Shupe, a big portslder, to
Omaha.
aii mesa denis speak well for the;
class of ball In the Nebraska State
league, on the theory that It must
be good or so many players wouldn't
be going "up." The state loop Is form
ing a great ground for promising
young players ns well as furnishing
plenty of diversion for the followers
of the national pastime.
Prospects Bright.
Now to get hack to the Hincoln
club and Its prospects. The reliables
^who will be back Include Scott Dye,
second baseman and field captain; Mo
ney, who developed Inin a good first
baseman before the season ended;
"Irish'' Carrig, outfielder; Zinker,
third baseman, and Spra tiger, short
stop. ran be bought back, but Mana
ger Beltzer intimated that he would
probably let them go. Harry Smith
and Art Stokes are the only two vet
eran pitchers on the list.
Ruck believes he has a find In John
Dillon, a big fellow from Trenton,
Neb., who was lined up by Hooks
Bailey. He is a pitcher and has been
"burning them up" In the western
part of the slate. Not of a curve,
rut plenty of zip and all the natural
• blllty in the world, is the way Dillon
tomes ticketed.
There are several players on the
Hincoln icscrvo list who will prob
ably not report, Dick Wood, center
fielder and hard hitler, beads tills list.
Dick, without question, would have
had his chance with a higher class
circuit this spring if lie had stuck out
the season. Homer Black, outfielder;
Bert Slattery, shorstsop; Davis, pitch
er, and Schoonover, outfielder, are also
en the “Dinks" reserve list.
A majority of the new men signed
by Burk era Nebraska players who
have mm recognition with semi-pro
teams. Ora Hooper, Wellfleet, John
Dillon, before mention; Faye Foster,
Adams; D. Ik Iloutz. Franklin and
John Polich. Canton, III., are the new
pitchers who will be given a chance.
Herbert Pember, Shelton, will be
tried at shortstop and George E.
Hoover, Hong Island, Kan., may til!
a gap now existing in the outfield.
It is possible that 130 games will
be played this season rather than
120, If this plan Is adopted the
^ league will open earlier.

Improvement of Strokes During
Last 20 Years Cause of Many
New Tank Records, Says Ruddy
New York, Jan. 20.—(Special.)—"The improvement of strokes dur'. the
last 2n years, and not the athlete. Is the cause of the continuous s nc
of swimming records," says Joe Ruddy, famous swimmer of the \n rk
Athletic club.
Ruddy has witnessed the coming and going of the world's most eminent
swimmers, from the Oavill brothers to the present sensation. Johnny Weis
muller. of tho Rlinois Athletic club, and makes a fair comparison of the
athletes that he has been thrown in contact with during the last 30 years. *
"Weismuller Is conceded to he the®
greatest swimmer of all time, re
marked Buddy as he rested on the
steel rail of the N. Y. A. C. swimming
tank watching Charles Daniels, the
world's famous swimmer, ploughing
his way through in the tank where he
created world's records 10 years ago.
“Still, here is ns good a swimmer In
a sense as Weismuller ever will l>e.
“Weismuller, Norman Boss, Duke
Kahananioka never did anything
nlsn hut swim, giving their swimming
muscles a chance to develop for
swimming only. That Is why the
women have heen making rapid
strides in swimming.”

In running you have your Joe

been able to defeat the best of the

Judge Landis Calls on Boss
of Phillies to Get First-Hand
Information on Hurler Benton
HICAGO, Jan. 20.—Anxious for knowledge as to why
nteher “Rube” Benton does not stand well In the big
leagues. Commissioner K. M. Randis, it was released today,
called in Art Fletcher, new' manager of the Phillies, who
was supposed to have first-hand knowledge of an alleged
bribe offer made the veteran southpaw- pitcher to “throw”
a game when the Giants were playing here several seasons
hack.
Fletcher was shortstop with the Giants at the time,
and history has always been that be heard of the bribe
offer, went to Benton, who was to pitch that day. and
warned the lefthander that ho had better win if lie wanted
to stay In baseball. Further, it Is said, Fletcher told Benton
that ho and Zimmerman had already been notified to leave
the club. "Zim” was supposed to have been mixed up in
the same deal and ho was dropped from organized ball.
Randis made no announcement of
his talk with Fletcher but answered
readily today when asked. “What did
Fletcher have to say about Benton?”
“Fletcher told substantially the
same story as Benton,” said the com
missioner. Benton's story was that
immediately after the bribe offer he
went to Fletcher, captain of the club,
told him what liad taken place and
that he had turned down the propo
sition, said to involve a cash offer
of $800. Benton hurled the game in
question and won it.
The above chapter in Benton's ca
reer did not enter into consideration
when Ban Johnson, president of the
American league, decided that the
pitcher would not be permitted in that
circuit. The junior league head took
a stand against the hurler because
of the latter's alleged prior knowl
edge of the outcome of the crooked
1919 world's series between the Reds
and White So*. Benton is said to have
bet and won money on his infor
mation.
Benton’s return to big time now
Is a closed issue because the Na
tional league is said to have voiced
keen disapproval of his contemplated
purchase from St. Paul by the Cincin
nati club. This leaves the question as
to whether Benton is fit for the mi
nors if the majors refuse to take him.
Randis hasn't decided whether or not
he will hand down a decision on this
point.

Annapolis, Mel., Jan. 20.—The series

Harold Janvrin, Game’s Best
Utility Player, Drifts Out of Big
Leagues-Released to Coast Club
New York, Jan. 14.—(Special.)—
When Harold Chandler* Janvrin’s
name was erased recently from the
roster of the Brooklyn baseball team
the game’* best utility player drifted
out of the major leagues. Janvrin is
destined to wear the colors of the
Seattle club of the Pacific Coast
league next season.
Hal broke into the major leagues
direct from a Boston High school in
1911 and since then, with tlie ex
ception of tlie 1912 season and part of
the 1919 campaign he was oonnectcd
with a major league team until cast
adrift by the Brooltlyns.
During the many years in which he
served with a major league team he
was considered a regular in only one
season and that was with the Ked
Sox in 1914 when lie took part In 143
games.
Although not good enough in other
years to hold down a regular Infield
berth Janvrin was too valuable a
player to let out, and so he was
forced to go on the bench and await
an opportunity to break into the
game. When Injuries laid up the
team's regular first or second base
man or its shortstop Hal was called
upon in the emergency and in a
great majority of eases he performed
so well that the loss of the team's
regular was not a great handicap.

—\V li 1 I o Judge
Landis and the
minor league preai
dents wage a ter
rific theoretical bat
tle bver the draft,
minor league man
ngers <ln all the
suffering. There
were four imndraft
league managers
and club presidents
in this city today
and all registered
deep suffering as
they sat around in the. Yarfl-.ee and
Giant offices, trying to get players
for their elulis and finding the draft
raising obstacles that Commissioner
Landis and the others probably never
dreamed of.
The Giants entertained President
William C. Smith of Indianapolis,
President Roger Rresnahan of Toledo,
both American association clubs, and
Hilly Gilbert, new manager of the
Penver club of the W’estern league.
At the Yankee office was Pan Howley,
new manager of Toronto of the Inter
national league. All four want play
ers from the New York clubs next
spring, and all four were from non
draft leagues that have forbidden their
elulis to take athletes from the ma
jors if a draft string is dangling with
him.
Hence the dilemma, which, like all
good dilemmas, has two horns. One
horn is the refusal of the majora tc
release players unless they can be
drafted. The oilier horn Is the re
fusal of tiie nondrafting minors to
take them under such conditions. Be
tween the horns is the manager.
