Rich Classics—Nestlehouse
After Crack Eastern Jockey
NEBRASKA owned horses bid fair to play a prominent part in the run
ning of the Tiajuana derby on March IS, and the Coffroth handicap
on March 25. The Tiajuana derby, confined solely to 3 year olds, will
be at one and one-eighth miles and will havo $6,000 added money. The
Coffroth handicap at one and one-quarter miles will have a total money
distribution of $37,375 to be the richest all aged stake in America.
Attracting widespread attention at Tiajuana are the good horses which
will carry the colors of William Nestlehouse, Omaha sportsman. His best
racing tools are Adonis and John 8. Reardon. Both of these horses have
shown superb form under the expert handling of Trainer J. G. Bussey.
Adonis has met and defeated many of the very horses that he will be asked '
to meet in the rich salient feature. John S. Reardon has Just come around '
to himself and has shown by h^j recent victory that he is at the height
of his form.
Doubtful Has (lass.
That Nestleliouse, who re* entiy
came into racing on a large scale, has
his heart set on winning the
stupendous purse offered in the Cof
froth, is disclosed by negoiations lie
is carrying on with Jockey Albeit
Johnson, peerless distance rider of
America. Nestlehouse has Just sent
Johnson , a telegraphic offer of J2.5UO
if he will come to Tin Juana for a
mount on orn of his entries in the big
race
J. H. McCoole, who figured prom
inently in the list of winning owners at
Tiajuana scored a 10-strike just the
other day when he purchased the
promising colt. Doubtful, at private
sale from T. K. Itoss, famed Canadian
breeder and owner. McCoole startled
the wise ones when he sent Doubtful
across the imaginary line a winner
over the best of his age in training.
Doubtful is a contender for honors in
the Tiajuana derby and the colt's
recent good races have won him many
followers.

Tigers Can’t
Be Stopped,
Savs Cobb
v •
By BERT WALKER.
International »ws Service Correspondent.
Augusta, Ga„ March 12.—Manager
Ty Cobb of the Detroit Tigers expects
to win the American league pennant
this year regardless of the fact that
Jhe New York Yankees and the St.
Louis Browns, who ran “one-two” in
1922, are Just as strong ns they were
last season. Ty declines to express
his belief ns a prediction, but he
honestly feels there is no team in
the American league that can stop
him.
It certainly is true that not in a
dozen years has a Detroit team started
off with the promise of this year's ,
outfit. Cobb can muster two complete <
baseball clubs; for every regular there
is a substitute who can do almost
as well as the man for whom he!
understudies. By contrast, the Tigers
were so weak in substitutes last year
they could not afford to take a regu- :
lar outfielder out of the game. At
least two fly chasers who can hit .300
will be sitting on the bench during J
the coming campaign and far as the
rest of the machine is concerned Cobb i
will hold four capable substitutes in
readiness to fit in at any of the other |
positions.
The pitching staff of 1922 was so :
mediocre that every man who started j
the season as a regular was a second 1
stringer by midseason. This year he j
has a staff of veterans, with a crew i
of promising youngsters who look like
the goods. * •*
All In ail, the Tigers figure to be
SO per cent stronger than In 1922.
Two teams, the Yanks and Browns,
finished In front of Detroit on that
occasion. Neither has been strength
ened to any extent between seasons,
while Cobb has materially increased
the power of his elub.
Y’ Mitt Meets
to Be Reviv ed
The state Y. M. C. A wrestling and
boxing tournaments, colorful events In

result of the state boxing commis

N. J. Weston, physical director of
the Omaha Y. M. C. A , announced
today that he would begin sounding
out the state associations to s>e if a
tournament would be favored this
year.
He was doubtful, however, If the
associations could train talent in time
to hold either a wrestling or boxing
tournament this spring.
The meets were discontinued In 1921
when tlie state boxing and wrestling
law was passed, which made no dis

* been sung by many

»but to many old
timers that Boston
infield was the greatest or tnem an.
Teryiey broke into the National
league ns a left-handed catcher, com
ing from Brown university. He was
one of the first collegians to take up
professional baseball as a rareer, and
his succesq Induced a lot of other
College boys to choose baseball for
their life's work.
Fred was horn In Georgetown.
Mass., on November 26, 1871, and
played in the National league until
he was forty years old. Even when
Tenney’ Boston teams were down In
the rut, the fans would come out jUHt
to watch Fred In .preliminary’ prac
tice. He would toss his glove away
and take the hardest throws of his in
fielders with his hare hands.
Tenney broke into the National
league w-ith a rush, as he hit .557 in
1894, his first year with the Boston
club. That incidentally w-as the best
average of Fred's major league
career.
The left handed catcher from
Brown, however, had the misfortune
to break a finger in his first game
with a big league nine. He played
In his first big time encounter on
•Tune 6, 1894, with the Boston club
playing In Louisville. Turning hark
to the file* of yesteryear, we read
the following of Tenney's debut
"Tenney, the Brown university
catcher, started in behind the bat
for Boston, and broke the forefinger
of his left hand in the fifth inning on
a foul off Bfoffer's bat. Ills throw
ing up to that time had lieen superb."
His throwing remained superb, and
In 1897 the left handed catcher was
shifted to first base, replacing the
veteran, Tom Tucker, Tennev with
his long reach, revolutionized first
base play, and covered more territory
than any first baseman had dream
ed of covering tip to that time. He
set the st vie for left-handed first
hasemen. In 1905. Tenney establish
ed a major league record for assists
by a first baseman, .when he made
152 with th^ Boston National league
team.

THK arrival of George Kelly and

of a great player. He can field, run
and throw, and if Bancroft has BO
cents left for an Interview he had beU-i

McGraw is using the Doc Coue sys

them up a little more day by day.
The afternoon games between the
t layers are more like kindergarten
exercises. The Sunday game with
San Antonio will be the first serious !
attack on territorial rights.
The Prudential, Providence and Mu
tual insurance works will be glad to
learn that .all the players arc in good
health. Curfew rings at 11 o’clock

President Stoneham called up Mana
ger McGraw on the long distance
chin piece and buzzed that New York
was entertaining a blizzard.
McGraw immediately chased Henry

hated to leave and was crying bit

of the pro rala cold weather.
