appeared this year than last, II. I>
Gish, uufnnger of the state meet
stated. 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. The
Springer aggregation won the rentral
Nebraska meet two weeks ago by de
feating Central City, 18 to 10.
Ernie Hubka’s York tosaers will
have a battle on .their bands if the
Geneva crew displays the stuff it did
" against Uncoin High last month.
■ York looks the best on paper, but no
body has yet picked ft winner by
comparative scores.
Plattsmouth, a class B team in the
4023 fete, was advanced to the more
select group this season and will
tackle ‘‘Dick’’ Newman's Hastings
quint in the first, round. Tf Krecjl,
star Plattsmouth center, is in suit,
Coach Rothart's pupils should have,
the best of the argument.
Creighton Prep, picked by the dope
stera as favorites to cop this year's
meet, are slated to exchange greetings
with Valentine High, northwest cham
pions and winners of the class C di
vision in 1923.
The young Bluejays have an Im
pressive record, having defeated T.in
coln, riattsmouth, Omaha Central.
Tech and South. The Drennan five
holds the Omaha city championship
and, with Coffey and Moylan running
through true to form, should make
the westerners step to win.
Norfolk should put Coach Hare's
University Place tessera out in the
opening round, but what a team
should do has no effect on the score
sheet. The Norfolk cagers trounced
the suburbanites, 13 to 7, early in
February and also hava wins over
Fremont, Columbus and Albion. The
Madison county lade trimmed Scrib
ner, 30 to 18, for the championship
of northeast Nebraska at Wayne two
weeks ago.
Chappell, Chadron tourney winners,
and Coach Hill's Omaha Central five
should provide plenty of entertainment
for high school cage fans. Central
has had a fair season, defeating Lin
coln, Fnemont and Nebraska City,
hut will run into a husky bunch In
the tourney opener.
Fremont, with wins over Creighton
Prep and Central, looks good to win
over South Omaha. The Packer team
was wrecked after the first school se
mester, but recovered and gave Tech
the Short end of the count last week.
Coach Browne’s Lincoln High toss
ers were an early season sensation
until they hit the trail to the me
tropolis, when both Tech and Central
walked off the Tech gym wit*h wins
Sidney lost to Chappell. 8 to 7, for the
Chadron championship last month.
Lincoln should win. All the class A
quints are in tiptop shape for the
meet, according to reports coming
from out In the state. Most of the
schools rounded out their schedules
last week and are rarln' to go.

SARASOTA. Fla., March 4—The
Giant tourlata spiked another
step toward the pennant when
Jennings allowed the boys to break
into batting practice. The pitchers
eagerly grabbed the chance dt taking
their dally dozen swings before the
regular hatters arrived.
If you ran Imagine a baseball
camp composed of nothing hut
pitchers and catchers you can also
picture an army composed of sec
ond lieutenants. There are 18
young pitchers here and three
husky catchers.
Arthur Nehf Is the lsteat package
of speed and control to land here. He
Indulged lr» hatting practice duly and
Improved hla southern batting aver
age with one pop fly out of 1* swings.
Shipping so nudty pitchers down
to Florida has had considerable ef
fect on habits and customs. The
farmers are thinking of saving
freightage by hiring Rosy Ryan and
Barnes to toss their oranges to
northern markets. Waiters now
serve grapefruit on the fly and
chefs are shooting In fast eggs and
putting Inshoota on the potatoes.
IJndstrom, Aurtsey end Wsfers are
the only fielder* In camp. Wafers la
the only outfielder. Only T.lndstrom
is under contract.
Ths climate Is still simmering
along gently, and Jennings has hard
work preventing the young pitchers
from throwing their arms Into the
gulf.
It I* August down here In every !
place except the calendar. Only the
fart that the Inrome tax la due In
March compel* you to realise that
it la still February.
When Saturday and the regular*
get here, then the work* will hurst
out In full bloom. There will he
plenty of excitement to write shout
and It seems a shame that Casey
Stengel will not be here to wave
Ills college neckties In the gulf
hreeies.
The tlnpan alley boy* who have

are very correct. We’ve seen ten mil

bach, knockout king, dropped Jimmy
Darcy of Portland, Ore., in the third
round of a 12 round l>att!e last night

It had been erroneously reported that
he had 25 to his credit. After Darcy

third round the referee stopped the
bout. The men are niiddleweights.
Darcy was no match for the power
ful hitting knockout sensation.
Darcy was down for a count of
three in the first round, and bled
freely from lefts to the mouth. In
the second round, Darcy took a fear
ful smashing, and went down for a
count of six. It was only a ques
of how long he could last.
After one minute and 16 seconds of
one-sided fighting In the third round,
daring-which Darcy was fiored three
times, the referee Intervened, stop
ping the bout as Darcy went flat
from a powerful left, flush on the
Jaw.
Throughout, Darcy fought gamely,
and tried to slug with Berlenbach, but
he was a mark for the latter's fists.

FIRST SQUAD OF OMAHA TEAM TO
HOP RATTLER SOON-WICHITA TO
TRAIN ON OWN BALL DIAMOND
Prescason Dope Points to Another Race Between Oklahoma
City, Tulsa, Omaha and Des Moines—Burch Strengthens
Herd With Addition of Art Griggs and Jimmy O’Neil.
■•By WAG.”
HB Omaha "West
ern league base
ball players will!
start wending
their way toward
Shreveport, La.,
training camp of
the Buffaloes
Thursday.
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.
Midland entered the Imttle against
Grand Island handicapped by the
absence of Winkleman. basket shoot
ing star who was out with a Iwd
knee. The visitor* took the lead for
most of the first period until Coach
Speer's men began to hit the hoop.
In quick succession, the Midland
counters piled up to give the Fre
monters the long end of an 8 to 7
score at the half.
'The rest of the game was nip and
tuck with Midland holding the slight
edge. With nearly four minutes to
play the score was tied at 14 all.
Baskets by Chambers and Fischer
gave the Mtdlander* a four point
margin until Mandeville sunk a
clever goal under the hasket. Cap
tain Rehder and Mandeville starred
for Grand Island. Chambers, Cun
ningham and EUloot were the hard
worker* on the Midland squad.

The Only Motor in Which Every Moving
Part Is “Bathed in Oil"
The Dort Six motor, introduced in 1922, has been imi
tated but the fact remains that it is still the only power
plant in which every moving part is continually “bathed
in oil”. 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.
