[NATIONAL LEAGUE MANAGERS CRITICIZE M’GRAW FOR RUSHING GIANTS IN SPRING TRAINING-CLUB SET TO START PENNANT SCRAMBLE NKW YORK, March 31.—Rival National league managers are showing a disposition to crlliclie our Mr. Mrtiraw because j he has not brought Ilia young men to a slow boil, as it were, hut has I rooked them to a riclu brown turn by way of pre-season training. If Itlie National league race were to start tomorrow there is little doubt that the Giant* would get away | running for they are all of a month beyond the rest of the field in con dition, particularly the pitchers. Baseball men in general have hesitated to say that McGraw is making a mistake and claim that the "dog days" of late August will prove it. Their theory is that a greyhound in April is often a darh Iiund in September, and the history of baseball does not say them nay. In fact, the general trend of man agerial strategy is away from the spring rush, although few have yet hrguti to put the idea into practice. Ty Cobb, managing a contender in the rival league, is one of them. There was not a ball tossed In the Tiger camp until .March 2, and the first exhibition game took ptare as late as March 20. The Tigers haven't seen another major league elub jet ami won't until tills week. "Cobb has the right Idea,” said Stanley Harris when the writer told him about his system of training. Yet it was noted at the time that the Senators were being rushed along as fast as the next, although it must !»*• conceded that Harris is letting Johnson, Ituetlier, C'ovel rakie and other veteran pitchers proceed with their preparations without unseemly haste. Not so Mctiraw. For many days early this month the so-called waster mind lm<l his complete s<|iiad out, morning and afternoon, and some of them worked with such en thusiastn that lie was constrained to rail a halt. Even Art Neltf, strietly a warm weather pitcher, has worked himself into a state where he is as ready as a cocked pistol. Tile treat haste, of course, is oc casioned by Mrtiraw’s obsession that he must win his fifth straltht pen nant and thus assure himself a set nf pctrilu-u loot prims in me wnm ol time. He might dn well to re member the season of 1911. Oil Hint occasion he brought north a veteran <>iant team in sueli condition that it raced away In front and was something like 16 games beyond the field by the Fourth nf July. The rest of the story is as well known as Nurmi's ^iiann'i an*. .. defective pipe stem and the Boston Braves came along from last place * « to win the pennant. in this, the present ensemble dif fers from tlie 1911 outfit. It is young and active and seems to have all the class of tho field. But granting this last to be true, what's all the hurry? ^ Twenty-two Husker Track Athletes Depart for Dual Meet With Stanford --- (s Schulte s Men Should Easily a! Win Dash Events '.< Locke Should Carry Off ; Honors in 100, 220-Yard Sprints—Weir's Chances Good in Hurdles. INCOLN, March 31. — Twenty-two Dusker trackmen left at 6 p. in. to day for Palo Al to, Cal., to com pete in a track meet with I,‘'land Stanford univer sity. They were given a big send off in a rally at the Burlington station. Coach { Schulte took tlu* following men on 1 the trip for the ! events scheduled: 100-yard dash: i Locke, Dailey, Hein; 220-yard dash: I Locke, Dailey, Hein; 410-yard dash; j < irtes, Scherrick, Reese, Beckerd; i 880-yard run: Lewis, Houdcrsheldt, 1 Beckord; mile: Ia>»is, Ros«, Cohen, J rffyes; two miles: Ross, Cohen, Zim * merman, Lawson, Hayes; high liurd I les- Weir, Reese; low hurdles: Ixieke, ] Dailey, Weir, Reese; high jump: - Rhodes, Popelar; liroad jump: Rhodes, ) Wirsig, Weir, Popelar; pole vault: * Rhodes, Wirsig, Gleason; shot put: ' Krlemeimeyer, Poipisil; javelin: Alniy, Popelar; relay: any of men listed. J It looks almost certain that the j ILuskrrs can take the 100-yard dash * and the 220-yard dash with Locke In 1 the races Dailey and Hein are also gntng Well in the sprints, and the Uuskers may hand up first and sec ond in the event. In the hurdles Ed Weir should stand an even ehanre with the Stanford timber jumpers. California looks’ to have the edge on the Huskers In the distance races and In the field events. The veteran coach has given a great deal of *DioughD.4.’o the selec tion of the team and the Way he will place them and can he counted on to deliver the best possible score with the material he has. Several men are out on account of ineligtbility and this will hamper hint in the field events. Indoor Sports By Tady Pittengers Refusal to Play With i Angels Adds to Worries of Cub Pilot \CR.\MKNTO, Cal., March ill). —Tile Cubs look another enforcer! vaca tion today w hen t h c.i r game with the local league outfit was drowned out by a cold, miser able rain, Killcfer kept the athletes handy, hoping for a chance for a short workout hut when conditions failed to better by it o'clock, he Jet them go hack to their poker games and what not. It seems as though l.ady l.uck just wont let the Cubs up. The newest worry for the pilot is that ( larke I’lttenger, traded to the Angels for Shortstop MrAnley, threatens to quit flip g»nie and go lo his home in Toledo. Ill the event lie balks the Cubs must pillier return JlrAiilfy or give up another infielder, something tlip.v ran ill afford to do. Nick numovich, southpaw holdout pitcher, has signed his contract and is on his way to join "Hod" Killefer's Seattle team. Manager Bill Klllefer made this an nouncement today shortly after the Cubs arrived here for their two ex hibition games with the local club of I he Coast league. Dumovich’s case is a peculiar one. for some reason or another he be lieved that he wouldn’t get a fair shake with the Cubs. Tills despite several conferences with President Veeck, Kiliefer and other officials. Me insisted that he wanted to go to Seattle and although he had been turned over to the Cubs he refused to sign any but a Seattle contract. This demonstrates how a lefthander thinks. — Gibbons-Tunnev w Match Expected to Re Closed Today » \nnouncement Follows Aban donment by St. Paul Boxer’s Ma nager of Bout Willi Wills. K\V YORK, March 31.—Official* of the I’ulo Grounds A. C. this nftprnoon an nounced that they expected to close negotiation* to morrow for the . pending light It e a v y tv e I g h t ^ . match here hew . tween Tom Gib bons and Gene ’ Tunney. This announce _ nient followed a conference between Jimmy IleFnreM, matchmaker of the Polo Grounds A. f'.. and Eddie Kane, manager of Gib bon*. IteForest said he went into con auttation with Kane following the abandonment h.v Gibbons' manager of all hope for a meeting between Tom and Harry Wills at the Milk Fund show in May. Kane had issued an ultimatum to the Milk Fund pro inoters last night that they must pro duce a signed contract from Wills IT noon today or the fight would ha considered off. The conference he tween Kane and DeForest followed the failure of Hip Milk Fund match makers to mepf Kane's demand. According to DeForest. the match between Gibbons and Tunney, which h-ts been tentatively fixed for June 1?, was xirtually clinched today, the on'y holdup being the absence from the meeting of Hilly Gibson, manager of the American champion. Gihson wi'd be present at the conference tommx row and DeForest said he was confi dent of obtaining then the signed con tracts of the two principals. BARBER’S'DEATH DUE TO POISON RUM John Edwards. 40, Council Bluffs barber, was a victim of poison liquor according to the report of a post-mor tem examination conducted Monday afternoon at the Stack morgue by Coroner's Thysician S.

The Buf* falo bov proved a tremendous hit. A sharp left hook that drove Rat ner to the ropes in the second round started the tropble. Slattery lost no time, and with a well dire* ted right t<» the chin, sent Ratner sprawling. The New Yorker fell face down with the upper part of his body resting across the ropes. Referee Johnny Brassil counted the fatal 10, yet Rat ner failed to respond. He recovered after his seconds carried him to his corner. INOTED STARS TO COMPETE AT K. C.

A strict eligibility rule will require a year's s^rvioe in the corps and then permit only two years of “varsity' playing. Marine corps teams will play only those of college^ with the exception that a post season game probably will be staged for service championships.
