Omaha Tech, 1923 state chain pious, will .open the class A group ' with Grand Island High. The Drum inouders have not made an impressive showing this year, hot are favored to '"win over the Islanders because of their tournament strength.

Mike Prender gast, coach of the pitchers; C. Han son; catcher; Freddie Gernandt, pitcher, and Dick O'Connor, out fielder, will hop a rattler Thursday for Shreveport. The remaining Buf faloes will join the Omaha contingent at the camp Saturday. Ilurch had planned to go south about March 15, but, with many al terations to Ills team, he lias decided to shove up his program and start training a little earlier. Oklahoma City will probably be 1 the second squad in action. The St. Joseph Saints are expected to mobilize in St. Joseph next Satur day, but probably Will not start ac tion in their spring quarters at Port Arthur, Tex., before the middle of next week. Next Monday the Indians of Oklahoma City are scheduled to re port at Weatherford. Tex. Presi dent Holland and Manager Fred I.uderus will leave Oklahoma City Saturday and expect to find some of their athletes waiting at the training camp. With the exception of Wichita, every Western league club will be hit tin' the ball next week. Though la bel! faces a greater task than any other club owner in rebuilding a team, with the exception of Howard Wake field of I.incoln, he has set March 10 as the reporting date for his team. The Witches will train at Wichita. As in 1913, the Western league race this coming season appears to be between Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Omaha and Ilea Moines. However,' six week* later, as the teams line up for the start of the race, it may be different, for little is known of the strength of Lincoln, Wichita and fit. Joseph, to say nothing of Denver. Barney Burch has made changes in the Buffalo lineup that should give the Herd great strength this season. Art Griggs, manager and first base man, Is a hard hitter and a good fielder, they say. He clouted out !1 homers, 12 triples and ^0 doubles In the Pacific roast last year and should do even better in the Western. This adds strength to the first base posi tion of the team. ‘'Frisco” Thompson, second base man, didn't Join the Buffaloes un til late last year. He went good ■ while he was with the club and ex perts to do bigger things this com ing season. He is a good fielding player and a fairly good hitter. Jimmy O'Neil at shortstop shoult help that position if he is the playei we have been told he is. Burch savi O’Nell will make the fans of the * Western forget all about Dudley Lee, the prize shortstop of Tulsa last year. If this is true, O'Neil will not only add great strength to the Omaha In field, but will be a whizz at batting. Jimmy Wilcox, third baseman, should have a better season this year. Wilcox is a good consistent player. He can hit and field good enough to keep his position sewed up all sea son. The outfield has been strength ened. The pitching staff appears to be rather wobbly, but Is expected to be bolstered up as the season gets under way. The catching department with Wilder and a recruit by the name of Stallman, isn't any too strong, although little is known of the ability of the latter. Last year the Buffaloea were dangerous up to the last game. This season they should be stronger. Midland Defeats Grand Island Fremont. Neb., March 4.—Midland ended up the brisket bail season by handing defeat to the Grand Island Zebras by a score of 48 to 18, which partially brought revenge to Mid landers for the gridiron defeat ad ministered last fall that kept Midland from claiming the state champion ship.

The visitor* took the lead for most of the first period until Coach Speer's men began to hit the hoop.

You know what that means—quieter operation, longer life for vital parts, a more fluent flow of power, the elimination of friction. It means economy, too, for this motor runs 20 miles on a gallon of fuel and 240 on a quart of oil. Kxperts continue to regard it as one of the finest pieces of mechanism ever built. Thousands upon thousands of Oort Six owners praise it even higher. ;w St**,. * uses. ru* RALPH W. JONES, Inc. Di.trihulor. for Nrbra.ka and Wrtt.rn low. 2421 Farnam Strrrt Omaha iW
