CQU8TA. Ga„ March 31.— Tyrua Raymond Cobb would be a contented manager it somebody would just assure him that Topper Rig ley’s back would hold out through a hard baseball cam •>aign. With the ittle shortstop in jliape Tyrus would be able to sail forth with plenty of confidence to an nex a pennant for Detroit. Rigney has some sort of mysterious trouble, a kind that tangles him up sometime* when he's stretching grounders. And the doctors can't just find it or define it. Rigney hasn't been himself this spring. Nevertheless the Tigers have a ball elub. a mighty good one. The outfit with the regulars in shape has only one weakness—second base. Pratt and Haney are fighting it out for that job and neither quite comes up to the mark in a field ing way. Pratt can make the quick throws smoothly enough, hut he can’t scamper around very fast. Time is taking its toll out of Ills sturdy legs. Haney Is awkward and not just fast enough. Roth can ham mer the ball hard, however. Everywhere else the Tigers are set to go. They have good pitchers and plenty of them, liauss. Johnson, Pil lette, Holloway, Rip Collins, Htones, Cole and V.'hitehill can furnish enough sharpshooting to carry them to the heights. The latter two are southpaws. These Tigers have the best hitting outfield in baseball, though Bob Veach ha^been sent along. Manush, t'obb and Heilman will wreck pitch ing more often than any trio on any other dlub, and they have Eothergill In reserve. 1-iOti Blue is tlie best first ba.sr inan in the league. Rigney, physi cally tit, has few peers af short, and Jones is a steady, game and de pendable third sarkrr. The catrhing department rates high. Basler. Manion and Woodall can all handle big league pitching, throw the ball around and hit with great regularity. The Tigers will hit as hard as any In the business and, except for sec ond base, field just as ' well. The pitching is much better than the aver age. and It would seem that a few early breaks would give Tyrus an opportunity to prove that he can steer a team as well as he can play the outfield. WHATSMXJR s^HURRVP Big league outfielder in happy be cause he got crowned by fast Inshoot. Instead of making weary tour through tank towns he can now rest up in a nice quiet hospital. The trouble with being a deaf and dumb pitcher is that you can't argue with the umpire—if you talk too hard you sprain your thumbs. Golf Portraits. When Horace Hobbs played IS holes He always lost by seven up. But when they played the 19th Me was the first to reach the cup. Peculiar thing about pennant satiated New York baseball fans is that they don't want to see both clubs repeat. They root for home club to lose, and are disappointed three times out of five. • _ Disgusted Omaha elevator boy says he is going to quit betting on horse races and take chances In a raffle, where he has some show of winning.

"The Olympics of the West,” will be the second meet on the 'Hunk er track schedule this spring. This relay carnival has become one of the greatest of outdoor meets and the greatest meet of the Mississippi. Records will he falling again thin year, when university athletes. In cluding those from Nebraska univer sity, and from all over the I'nited States meet April 25 and 26, at Des Moines. Dast season one world's record and three American collegiate rec ords fell before the keen competi tion of the many track artists. This year, with the Olympic games as a goal for their efforts, the cinder stars are sure to better some marks of long standing. The Indoor meets over the country have indicated several record breaking possibilities. Illinois w ill lie on hand with a strong team as usual. I.ast year Illinois broke the world record for the 410 yard relay and established a new American intercollegiate record for the 880-yard relay. Nebraska was the frtgjner Drak* re lay holder In these events. Illinois has a four-mile relay team this year almost as strong as the team which hroke the world s record several years ago. Iowa Is another “Big Ten" school with a good team. Brookins, world record holder of the 220-yard low hurdles, has ability as a sprinter and 440-yard dash man. Crawford and Coulter are also strong in the sprints. Valley schools of prominence in clude Nebraska with relay teams of high standard in the 410. 8S0 and mile relays. The C'ornhuskers are to be there in the field events with Hart man. who won the 16 pound shot put last year. Turner, in the high jump, and Hatch in the the broad jump will go strong, according to predictions at the Husker camp. Kansas Is said to have the best bet In the high jump, w ith Pool clearing the liar around 6 feet 4 inches. Richardson of Missouri ha.' i>rcn put ting the shot around 45 feet through ■ out the indoor season. The Valley men include Keeble of Missouri and Weir and Crites of Ne braska. Paddock, the greatest sprinter, is scheduled to be at the meet, along with other men who arc record hold ers of Olympic calibre. Buffaloes Hit Hard But Get Poor Pitching and Lose to Shreveport, 12-7 Shreveport. Ial., March 30.—Inef fective pitching by Joe Stanton. Nick Cullop and Alik* Prendergast enabled thg Shreveport Gaseers to defeat Omaha hers Sunday, 1’ to 7. Not one of the trio seemed to hold p thing that befuddled the Gasmen and each was hit with equal vigor. Stanton, who reported only Saturday, lasted only one Inning and the Gas men counted two runs off him during hla short term on the mound, Stan ton seemed to possess burning, speed, but his control was so had that he walked four men and v ild pitched two runs across the plate In the first inning. Cullop was effectiv# until the fifth, when he walked three and gave up two hits for four runs. In the sixth he was busted for three more clustered hits and three runs, and Prendergast succeeded him in the seventh, being scored on each In the seventh and eighth Innings as a result of dean hits. Although the Buffaloes had by no means an idle day with th# hat, they could not overcome with their hitting the poor work of their pitchers. Led by Johnny Baggan with four hits, and Jimmy O'Neill, who hit a home run with one on, th# visitors helped them selvp* to on* dozen hits off the right handed efforts of Schilling and th* southpaw output of Foreman. Griggs hit two doubles and Robinson, in the role of a pinch hitter, came through with a double to score a runner. A spectacular catch with one hand by Sullivan of Shreveport cut off at least two runs for Omaha and pos sibly three. With thro* on and two out. Jo* Bonowiiz sent a wicked liner to center that Sullivan caught after an extraordinary effort. It was a miracle catch and had the ball got away the hit doubtless would hate cleared the bases, as all runners were on the more. Sunday's victory by Shreveport cave the locala the series with Oma ha. four games to two. The Buffaloes will spend Monday preparing to break camp the follow ing day. A FORMER "inuny ump" tolls this one on George Nusrullah, who will play with the Frost Batteries of the Gate City league this season. Two years sgn George was a member of the Whistle Hottling team that played in a class C league, and was playing against the Christ Child Center Juniors. The Junior* were a team that lived in the same neighborhood that the Whistle team hailed from, and throughout the grfhie the players on eorh team spent much time kidding. Ths Whistles outclassed the Center team and In the eighth Inning, with tha Whistles fur In the lead, one of the popmnkers lilt the hall over the leftflelder's head. When the better rounded first base.N'usrullsh, who wss coaching nt first base, called to tlie batter to take it easy, that his wallop would go for a circuit clout. Nils rallnh tried 10 make a travesty out of the game by following the runner around the bags. The Christ Childs' fielder wasn't so slow, an lie fielded llic hall ami had It In to llijj catcher, not in time to retire tlie runner, hut the catcher lagged NusraUah, who was right behind the hatter, and the “iinipa” railed the home run hitter out on account of the Interference caused hy the mysterious action of the coarher.

We have been asked that question several times within the last week or two. Wonder why so many fans ask that question? Maybe it's because the Buffaloes haven't been getting live pitching in their eihlbition games down at Shreveport, la. Sunday' the Buffaloes lost to Shreveport. Saturday they lost. Both days the club as a whole hit the ball hard and registered enough hits to win an ordinary hall game, but the pitching staff fell down. In 1923 the Buffaloes hatted fairly well, but the pitching didn't come around until it was too late.

EW TOK, March 31. — The signing of Harry Wills to engage in a wiit-w o f houts under Tex Rickard the auspices of this summer wun Dempsey as the u 1 li rn a t e goal means only one of two things, towit: Either Kick ard has been given definite assur ances that 'Wills and Dempsey may transact bus iness in New .Ter* sey, which w e doubt, or the promoter'Is merely try ing to embarrass Jim Coffroth by ty ing up all available contender*. Rickard showed not the «liglite*t interest in Wills until the an nouncement came from the coast that (offrotli was ahont to ne gotiate with Dempsey for a Wills bout at Tiajuana. Barely more than 14 hours later Rickard rpplicd by signing Wills to meet any one of three men—Firpo, !spa Ha or Ro mero Rojas—early in June, with Ibe winner to meet Dpmpsey in Sep tember. That arrangement means that the local promoter now has four heavy. weight championship contendss un der contract, W ills and Tom Gibbons Romero Rojas by cable. In brief be t as gained something of a corner on the heavyweight market and only needs to add Firpo to hi* string to be in a position to talk bu-iness wnk Dempsey. The champion then would bo i forced to come to Rickard for ac | tion, since no other promoter could 1 produce a leading opponent. Rick ards program involves a bit of , quite legitimate throat-cutting. As for his promise to Wills of % Dempsey bout late in the summer, much remains to be said. The write/ has always contend'd that a Demp sey-Wills tight never will be h'ld 1* the United .State*, least of si! on the eastern coast. We do not think that there has been any recent eliange la its status. Further than that, he ia dealing in wholesale applesauce when he holds forth a promise of a Demp sey bout to Wills when he has neglect ed the slight formality of getting the champion undec contract. Rickard, we believe, is really ln»*. * lerested in two heavyweight proj ects. The first «f these would bring together Wills mm) Firpo, the sec ond Firpo and Dempsey. If he can swing these propositions. Gibbons, Spalls. Romero Rojas, Jack Renault and others can go jump in the lake, all and severally. Fifty per cent of the Wilis Firpd matter is already under contract, and if Firpo can be made to listen to rea* son and money he wi"! fight for R:ek« ard. The bout would take place iqj June and half of the promoter's pros gram would be completed. The reej would remain with Firpo. for Riekan) Is banking on him to beat Wilts and frankly believes that he will, if the* ever meet, A return Derapeev-FTraj match wonld then be a formality, j Pitcher Jess Winters Sold, Philadelphia, March II. — Pltchs* Jess Winters haa been sold by thj Philadelphia Nationals to the Popfc land team of the Paetfio CVaa% league, according to diepatchea frmgj I>ee*burg.
