1 FI turnstiles will
sing a merry tune
at the Western
league park Wed
nesday p. m. when
a couple of ball
clubs, namely the
Omaha Buffaloes
and W1 c h 11 a
Witches cavort
ti r ell n d the dia
mond, incidentally
opening the 1923
season in this
hurB.
Judging from 1 He number of seats
that have already been sold, a large
attendance of "six-bit” and $1 cus
tomers will be on hand Wednesday to
see the initial game of “Pa" Tearney's
league in Onmha.
I The usual ceremonies will be staged
at tlie Chamber of Commerce and the
park previous to the conflict. The
rumpus will start with a “feed" at
the Chamber of Commerce and then
followed by a lot of stunts out at
the Fifteenth and Vinton street lot.
As per custom, Dahlman will
hurl the first ball. Governor Charles
Bryan will attempt to catch I'ahl
man’s delivery, but the ‘‘wiseacres”
are giving odds that Mister Bryan
fails to stop the mayor’s delivery or
else muffs the ball. But anyway you
want to.
Following this, a hand or two will
spit out some music and then, if it
doesn't rain, the game will probably
start. The chances are that Nick
Cullop will hurl tho first game for
the Buffaloes. Wichita may use all
seven of its hurlers. Manager Gre
gory of tho Witches Isn't a hit back
ward in using his pitchers.
Many New Faces.
But, when the Buffaloes trot out
on the field Omaha fandom will lamp
several new “mugs.” Joe Bonowitz,
Tony DeFate. Manager Ed Konetchy,
Tex McDonald, Nick Cullop, Ted
Odenwnld. "Buckshot” May, Dee,
speece, Prejenn, Stout and Hale are
the newcomers. Among the new
faces are seven pitchers.
Among the veterans, that is, play
ers who wpre with the herd last cam
paign. are Frank Okrie. "Pug” Grif
fin, Dick O'Connor. Phil Apperson,
Fred Wilder and Freddy Gernandt.
The Buffaloes will not return to
Omaha on — top of the standings.
However, a little thing like this will
not keep the fans from turning out
(n see the first game. The Vi nson s
still young and the Buffaloes look as
good as any club in the league.
"Pug” Griffin is leading the club
in batting. This Buffalo’s hatting
average for the first eight games of
the season, which includes all games
but Saturday’s is .400. Griffin has
been at bat 30 times, made 12 hits
for a total of 13 bases and scored 14
putouts, which is a pretty good mark.
"Tex” McDonald ranks next high
e t In batting among the Buffaloes.
This former Texas league third base
n an has been at bat 33 times, made
13 hits for a t^tal of 19 bases and
finished the first eight games with
a batting average of .394.
Tony DeFate leads the Buffaloes In
home run slugging. Th4 former
Saint has clouted out three circuit
drives. Wilcox. McDonald, Cullop.
Griffin. Bonowitz. Wilder. Griffin.
Konetchy and O'Connor each have
knocked out bontB runs.
Griffin is the only member of the
herd who has collected a triple. De
Fate has five doubles to his credit
for the first eight games while Mc
Donald ntvl Bonowitz each have
spanked out three two-baggers.

tions, for considerable of the grain

New York. April 21.—The show
business acknowledges the hoioffice
as the solo criterion. That report is
tlie Hradstrcet of theaterdom, any
whpre or everywhere. Critics may
race or ivast and retard if their judg
ment is not sount, for the public
knows. If it doesn't know at once,
it discovers quickly, as any producer
stands ready to testify.
The 18 surviving theaters successes
on Broadway of this season are men
tioned, with their average weekly
business and length of consecutive
runs.
"Haln” at the Maxine Klllott, dur
ing its 21 weeks, has not failan be

Heaven,” at the Booth, Is in its 25th

larger capacity.

Cowl has averaged $11,500, while
"Klkl,” the BelascolTric long dis
tance success at the Belasco, is In
its 73d week and has not fallen be
low $15,000. “Zander, the Oreat" in
only its second week at the Empire is
looked upon as a hit and will do $14.
000 this week. East week, its first,
the Alice Brady play, did $10,000.
In comedies, "So This Is London”
(Hudson) (34i, was held above $15,000
a week: "Merton of the Movies,”
(Corti (23d) another $15,000 getter;
"Polly Preferred,” (Little) Utth) $11,
000 (Limited by small capacity);
"Chauve Souris," (Century) (63di never
tinder $17,000 as the average, and
“Abie's Rose," the perplexing hit but
In Its 4Rth week at the Republic, still

Against these money hackers is
"Hetter Times," at the Hippodrome.
i production that reached to $65,000
» week during this season wi'h $50.
900 a poor take, and yet the Hip shdw
has been a loser, through its ex
pensiveness, a reason which explains
why musical production* are scaled
higher in the house* of largest cap
acity and must do more business than
the simply set and small cost dramas

Plan Launched to
Extend Grain Act
to Sugar Market
Louisiana RepreM-ntativr Is
Drafting Bill to Place Kx*
changes l rider Control of
Secretary of Agriculture.
tty f'nlvernal Sfnlcp,
Washington, April 21.—Churgh a
the "ateps now being taken with such
a blare of trumpets to punish the
sugar gamblers' are little short of
, farcical,” Representative A swell,
democrat of I.' uislana. announced that
legislation is being drafted that will
prevent a recurrence of the prest nt
scandal.
The proposed remedy, which Repre
sentative Aswoll says Is backed by a
considerable group in both politleal
parties, will bring the principal sugar
exchanges in the United Slates under
the category of ''contra t markets”
and extend the superv sory authority
of the secretary of agriculture tc
them, ns in the case ' f the cotton
and grain exchanges.
"It will be found,” the Louisiana
congressman declares, "that the ink
is not dry on such a statute befars
the gamblers will be rushing to eox-er."
Representative A swells bill will fol
low closely the plan of the grnle
futures act, recently upheld by the
I'nited States supreme court. This
la'w lodges with the secretary of uni
j culture authority to designate what
exchanges shall be “contract mar
kets.” Trading can be carried on
only by such exchanges as are given
the secretary's approval.
Kvery ton of sugar s' Id on any
exchange, under the terms of the
legislation, would have to be sold un
der the strict supervision and r - g-k *
tion of the Department of Agriculture.
Moreover. eVery transaction would
have to be evidenced by a memor
andum in writing showing the date,
the parties to su< h C ontra ;t and their
addresses, the quantity of sugar cov
ered. the price, terms of delivery and
•other data, all of which would be kept
■ n record for at least three >ears.
