Petersburg, Fla., March 18.— The baseball championship of St. Petersburg is still very much in doubt. The Boston Braves defeated ihe New York Yankees this after noon by a score of 6 to 1, thereby tying the series. Babe Ruth made hie first appearance in the Yank lineup, and although he did not knock anv home runs ho proved that he la not going to let his batting average "go broke," as he connected for two snappy, smashing singles. Col. Jacob Ruppcrt ran out on his nine and Is supposed to be In the dutches of some regl estate sharks. At any rate he could not be found at the ball park. As the Yankees are *•* due to meet the Braves three more times this week, perhaps the colonel thought he was Justified in taking a day oft. The contests with the Bos tonians are woefully lacking In color and It looks like a close fight for the cellar steps between them and the Phillies. HAWK WRESTLERS HAVE BIG SEASON Afutrlftl luapatrh te The Omaha Bee. Iowa City, la.. March IS.—Two Iowa wrestler*.

March 5*-—Emil Pa luso. flalt Laka City flywaight. easily 'detested F.ddle Covington, Phlladal phia negro, In an eight round bout tonlfty -■ 1 ^ "C .. . .. J-1 I WHO will play third baa* tor the Omaha Buffaloea this sea son? Barney Burch, owner Of the Western league champions, can't answer that question. That's what he says in « letter to the writer. Bun h and Manager Griggs had figured on Jimmy Wilcox playing third again this year, hut the lat ter's illness has practically put him out of the picture. His plnoe will be hard to fill. 'Wilcox knew how to net on third and ho could hit. His lllnr s, which is liable to result In his death, Is a hprd blow to the Omaha club. •Inst, who will atari the season at lliitd is not known. Ilnrcli says so in his letter. Manager Griggs has Inflelder Carroll and “Ilap" Lena han, last year's utility mail, trying out for the position. The liiances are l-enahnn will get the call, pro viding, of course, nurrh does not sign allothesjliird baseman, l-ena han played all the infield jobs last season and didn't look bad at third. He could till the gap until a reg ular third baseman joined the team. This Carroll person cam# front Fre mont, Barney says he looks promis ing, but the flowers that bloom In the spring tra, la, are not the same flowers that bloom In mid-season— sometimes. Carroll may fool 'em. We hope so. HAItRY MANUKH, second base man, who “jumped" the club In 1023 to play In the south western Iowa tournament In Council Bluffs, is again back In the good graces of organized baseball. 11 may come to pass thRt Manush winds up at third. He can play any position. John Munroe. the new second base man, will take care of “Krlscne" Thompson's ol' station, so that lets Manush out as a. second-sacker. Jim my O’Neill will play short, and that lets Manush out there. Burch expects Tony Defate hack in June or July. Defnta Is another contract “Jumper.” He “hopped" Hie Omaha dub in 1023 to piny In Wisconsin. Ho will bncoine eligible in Hie eyes of organized baseball this summer. Tony, when In con dition, Is one of the best little shortstops In the Western league. He sees where he make a mistake. In the writer’s opinion. Defate Is a better shortstop than O’Neill. The Omaha club, however, must have a shortstop to start the season with, and Hurt'll and Griggs are counting on O'Neill to All the bill. If Jimmy gives any Indication that he will play a better brand of baseball at shortstop thai\ he did last year It might be a hard job (or Defate to move In on O'Neill's position. Last year (VNeill was troubled with illness. Reports from the Buffalrfea' training camp Inform us that O'Neill looks a lot better physically than he did last season. If this is true he will have a good year, O’Neill, when he went up from Shreveport to the Washingtons several season ago, was one of the most promising inllelders to join the majors. A broken leg and serious Illness wrecked a promts ing recruit. Now Jimmy Is coming back. W1IBN Burch left OmSha this winter for ihe south he had hopes of making a pitcher out of “Jlap’’ Lenahan, utility man of 1124. "That boy Lenahan ha* a world of •peed." Barney told the writer one day. “We have men for all positions and I want to make a pitcher out of •Hap." Lenahan had one of llte best throwing arms of any one on the club last season. His peg to sec ond from behind .home plate was very good. “Hap" wants to become a regular catcher, lint Burch he llevcs he has the makings of a hot ter pitcher than catcher. Omalians who attend*! games here last season and saw l.eiinh.ni throw to homo base from the out field will bear out this writer's rliilm that Leuuhan had one of Ihe best throwing arms of any Western leaguer who played in Omalin in 1014. With Third Baseman Wilcox home III with-pneumonia, Lenahan may be used at third base if CHrro" and Manush fail to come through. Johnny o donnkll. the st. Paul U lightweight, Is going to get a crack at the much-louted Joe Benjamin. California boxer, In Los Angeles, Tuesday. March 31. The pro moters picked O'Donnell instead of “Ate" Hudkins. Maybe r.enjamin didn't want any of Hudkins’ punish ment. Benjamin hn* announced that as soon as he polishes off this O'Donnell person he will pack his baggage and hop a rattler for New York, where he will meet Tommy O'Brien on April 30 in the lightweight elimination tour nament. that .he Gotham commission fa having so much fun with. Reports from out Los Angeles way Inform us that promoters thereabouts may match Hudkins with OTIonnell. If Hudkins meets the .St. Paul lightweight he may re peat his trick of several months ago when he won over O'Donnell In a bout held at the Omaha Auditor ium. Hudhlns, according In one Cali fornia writer, la willing to fight ll'njamin on a percentage or split any purse offered 60-40 with tlrnjamln contingent upon wlm wins. That seems fair enough, but Benjamin probably harbors the Idea that Hudkina ran beat him. Jack Britton, former welterweight champion who arrived In Omaha Mon day from California, is authority for the statement that Hudkins will hand Benjamin a neat trimming In 10 rounds If the two ever meet at the required lightweight poundage. MY, hnw times have changed. Two years ago when Jack Britton. then welterweight champion, fought "Cowboy" Padgett in a 10-round bout at the Auditorium, he trained In private at the Business Men’s gymnasium. Monday this aame Britton, not a champion, Just an or dinary fighter who has Been his beat ring diys, cam# to Omaha- Friday night he la scheduled to fight Morris Sohlalfer In a 10-Tound bout. Compare llritton's visit to Omaha two yeara ago with his arrival here Monday. Two yeara ago he was Ihe guest of promlneflt Omaha us. De was met at the train by a crowd of fight falls who were eager to see the champion. No one was al lowed to see Britton go through his training paces. If you wanted to see Britton when he was here two years ago you had to pay $3 to see him fight Padgett. But time* have changed. Britton'S arrival In Omaha Monday was unnoticed. He la not a champion any mora. This afternoon the former tltleholder will workout at the gym nasium. Anyone can watch him train. All It coat la the admission price which l« tha aame every day, whether a former champ la working out In Omaha or not. SENATORS DEFEAT COLUMBUS, 6 TO 4 By t nBrresI Itrtln. 'Winterhaven, Fla., March 1*.—The Washington world rhainpiona con tinued their barnstorming trip through this section of Florida by handing a * to 4 trimming to the Columbus team of the American as sociation here this afternoon. Manager Moleaworth of the Coltim hua aggregation, who formerly piloted the Birmingham team, uaed three pitchers In an effoYt lo stem Ttucky Harris’ crew. They were all more or lees Ineffective. Harris uaed Zachary, Marbery and Russell for the heavy work, the trio holding Mnlesworth’e men to seven hits. GRAHAM HEADS JUNIOR LEAGUE George Graham was reelected president of ihe Junior Omaha Base ball league, which held Its ftrit meet ing last night In room SO* of the city hall.
