KRUG AFTER OUTFIELDERS
Through the able John A. Savage, sec
retary of the Kansas City American as
sociation club and new Western league
magnate, Pa Rourke haa booked two ex
hibition games with the Kansas City
Blurs for maha, April 1 and . . This
makes six exhibition games for the
Rourkorinlans, Indianapolis and the
White Sox being carded for the other
four.
Pa Is hot on the trail of couple of
outfielders. Frankly speaking. Pa haa
no outfielders as yet except Aten and
Payne. But Aten and Payne are more
or leas of the rookie stage, although
Payne has proved himself a pretty good
athlete. Joe Bell and Artie Thomason
have not signed and there la a chance
Bell, who Is evldcnclnng hold-out symp
tom, may refuse to return. Thomason
Is expected to appear allright.
But Pa wants two dependable outfield
ers, one at least, and he Intends to get
'em. Marty Krug has gone to Hot
Springs where the Boston Red Sox and
Pittsburgh Pirates are training. Marty
Ik an old teammate of Carrtpan's as
Marty was a member of that world's
championship team In 1912. It is hoped
Carrlgan can slip Marty a real out
fielder for old time's sake.
. . Willis ffisriis 1 i.
. Ralph Willis, who was kicking a hit
over terms, has signed up. Willis Is the
famous exponent of the slow ball with
nothing on it. To use a hackneyed
expression, ball payers regard Ralph
as one of these chaps who have, nothing
except a glove and a prayer. But Ralph
wins ball games for all that, so who cares
what he has?
From all reports Marty Krug Is taking
Ms Job as manager very seriously. Marty
has departed for Hot Springs, there to go
through the boiling out process so that
he can be In trim condition to shorn' Pa's
rookies how to do It when training starts
In Omaha. Marty is also learning how
to fuss with umpires. He Is taking a
full course In umpire baiting, learning
the most proficient manner of kicking an
umps In the sh'nn or poking him In the
cy in addition' to administering a vitriolic
verbn.1 attack without arousing the um
pire's ire. With good training Marty
should he able to get by in fine shape
unless soinbc of O'Neill's arbitrators are
sympathizers of allies.
Ppee.HnT of war. Marty has emphatic
ally denied that he has been spending the
winter keeping a compilation of the Ger
man losses drulng the war. This perfid
ious report emanated from Cleveland, the
city where they take It with a spoon,
and has no foundation according to Krug.
He declares he haa hod enough trouble
figuring up the Rourke losses for next
. summer in advance without . worrying .
sver the Kaiser's casualties. ' Marty Is
5ecoml,ng one of our best little neutrals.
i -But "Wife . Said No.
-Cometh a startling bit of news from
Fertland. Ore. With . Venice laat year
played a Portland person by the name
of Soeck Harkneas. Bpeck was given his
unconditional release, and, according to;
Portland advices, ho wm offered post-1
Hons with both Omaha and New Orleans.
But, alas, Bpeck had married a Portland
gill, whose love for the Pacific coast Is
so strong that she couldn't bear to leave
her native land to Invade the wilderness
of Omaha. She Informed her weaker half
there would be nothing doing In Omaha,
so Specie was forced to sign with Aber
deen, Wash.. In a class B league. . Thus
does woman rule the world.
Bert Brenner has been slipped his of
ficial unconditional release and Secretary
iFarreH of the National board has duly
registered that fact on the' official docu
mental. .,Bert was given his passports
last year, but the record was made again
this spring. Now Bert Is at liberty to
algn wtth the Braves or the Athletics as
he eh I a am, '
Making: m Few Repairs,
Brother Dave, the committee In charge
of the grandstand and grounds, Is pre
paring for a few repairs that must be
made before Mayor Dahlman chucks the
first pill in April. Dave must dig up a
few new chairs for the press coop, the
old ones having mysteriously disappeared
last fall. The manner in which they were
lost. Is very much of a mystery and can
not be determined until a sweeping In
vestigation has been made. Brother Dave
has a clue, however, and expects to run
the culprit or culprits down in the near
future.
Papa Rourke is getting much stuck
with his infield.- Ho declares Breen and
Whalen will make a minor league Collin
Barry combination. ' He saya Whalen' Is
a quiet sort of youth who wears a sober
expression. It 1 presumed the attitUdo
and look are the result of somo twenty
five years of effort In trying to live down
the name of Fenton. " .. ..
Pa also says the harmony In the Infield
will be perfect, although Whalen and
Breen are descendants of the old sod. and
Schltebner Is a kalserlne. Rourke says all
mree are neutrals and will be full
fledged Rourkovlnians when on the base
uai: field.

Ninety-nine per cer.t nerve, even

beck, trainer at the University of Cin
cinnati, has made Fred Hyplnn, a crack
long distant runner. Rypins Is an Omaha
boy, a graduate of the Omaha High

Rypins recently won the two-mile cham
pionship of Cincinnati from a field of
many candidates and Brodbeck say
nerve alone did It. Ryrhis went out for
track work at the high school here, but
never made a team.
"He will beat faster runners, men who
have the form and the ability," says
Brodbeck, "merely because he has more

Racing Sweeps of
Present Day Much
Longer and Wider
NRW YORK. March .-To the ordinary
follower of Intercollegiate rowing there
would not appear to be any great dif
ference between the aweeps In use at the
present time and those that were In
vogue back In the '80s. Yet there Is con
siderable difference and a difference with
a distinction. For Instance, the oars
used by the Yale crew in the Harvard
Yale race lat year give twenty-two
square Inches more of contact with the
water on the direct drive than did the
oars used by Bob Cook's famous crew In

The Increased surface made available
for the drive of the stroke Is to he found
at both ends of the blade. Instead of
tapering to a point as the oars of the '80s
did. the oars used now are blunt ended
and are wider at the upper part of the
blade. The sweep of the present dsy Is
several Inches longer than that' used In
ths '80s. Tho oars that the Tale crew
used last year ware made near Putney,
England.

Too Much Bone in
The College Player,
Asserts Doc White
"College men are not heady hall play
em," says Ioc White, who Is coaching
the Occidental college nine of California.
"I think It is because they are afraid to
take a chance."
White ought to know. Ha was a coU
lege pitcher himself snd coached Am
napolls while playing with the White Sox.
"They depend too much on the coach.
They will do lust what ha tells them.
But the moment something comes up thai
he hasn't told them they are at sea,
"For Instance, suppose I sent a man!
to bat with Instruction to bunt. If field
ers closed In on him so that it would be
death to the runner and him, the college
player will still bunt. He would only have
to give the ball a push to send It through
the infielders. But he won't do It. When
I told him to bunt It was the thing to do,
but while he was at the plate the' other
had shifted to meet It. He doesn't change
with them."
White says that college men are the
best , to work with in the world. They
obey the coach and work willingly. They
don't lie down on the job. They are not
human "crabs." and pull together.
"They call second the keystone sack,'
said White, "and It Is. A second base
man and a shortstop make a ball club.
They get Into more plays than any other
men on the team. I never saw a good
baso ball club that did not hava stron
players there.
"A college pitcher does not have to ba
such a wonder. When I wss In college I
didn't know a right field batter from p
left. They all looked alike to me. I just
pitched and got by all right."
PITCHER VAUGHT STAGES
REAL COMEBACK, OF YEAR
. The record of "comebacks" - haa bean

tanooga team has staged It. During taa
winter It was reported that ha was dead,
and the v'luh officials crossed his name
off the books. Several days ago a latter
