BROOKLYN HAS
GOOD PITCHING
STAFF -THIS YEAR
But Col. Robinson Isn't
As Well Fortified in
Other Departments
Of Game.
By JAMES CRUSINBERRY.
Jacksonville, Fla., March 28. If a
strong pitching staff were all that
is reeded to win a pennant, Col.
Wilbert Robinson might look for
ward to a great season. But the
colonel isn't as well fortified in the
other departments of the game,
though it does look as if he rtvght
scare some of the other leaders.
However, his patched infield would
have to stand the test and his new
man in right field would have to he
a regular major leaguer in his first
year out.
After seeing most of the managers
suffering for want of pitchers, it is
some refief to take a glance at the
Brooklyn outfit and see seven stal
wart and swarthy lnirlers, all ex
perienced and all going in splendid
style. Then there are a couple of
youngsters, too, who would have a
swell chance to earn a regular job
on some other team.
All Seven in Shape.
The right-handed squad of slab
artists is composed of Leon Cadore,
Big Jeff Pfeffer, Burley Grimes and
Al Mamaux, none of whom needs an
introduction to major league fans.
The southpaws are Sherrod Smith,
Clarence Mitchell and Rube Mar
quard, all of whom have won their
big league spurs and entered the
hall of fame. Every one of the seven
is in shape.
Johnston on Third.
It was the infield problem that
bothered Boss Robinson when he
began work in camp, and after some
experimenting it looks as if he ha
solved it by making a third baseman
of Jimmy Johnston. Jimmy once
was an outfielder, then Robbie
transferred him to second, where he
performed last season, and now he
has him at third.
The shift also put Ivan Olson,
former shortstop, on second base to
permit Chuck Ward to play short,
the only position which seems to fit
him. He was handicapped last year
with a bad knee, but when the season
ended he underwent an operation,
removing a bit of cartilage, and the
trouble has disappeared. Of course,
big Ed Konetchy still is the first
sacker and looks as if he may have
several more years on the job. If
this much shifted and patched in
field can perform as major league
infields should. Col. Robbie may
have quite a ball team.
Berth for South Chicago Kid.
A lad who was raised in South
Chicago and recommended by Artie
Uofnian, old time Cub star, seems to
have filled the outfield gap left by
the transfer of Johnston to the in
field. The boy is Bernie Xeis, a
midget, 5 feet 6 inches in height,
who got his start in the Chicago
.semipro ranks and was taken to
Dayton in the Central league on
Hofman's boost. From there he went
to Peoria and then into war work,
and when the war ended he drifted
' into Saskatoon, where he played last
season.
There are three sturdy and ex
perienced catchers on the Brooklyn
staff, with Ernie Kruger at the pres
ent time having the call as leader.
Otto Miller, who has seen plenty of
service, and "Rowdy" Elliott, once
with the Cubs and last year with
Oakland, are the other two.
Call Base Ball Candidates
At High School of Commerce
The first call for base hall candi
dates at the High School of Com-
merce will be issued this afternoon
if weather permits.
More than 30 candidates are ex
pected to answer. The entire 1919
squad will return and several new
plavers will try for a berth.
The field at Thirty-second and
Dewey avenue will be used by the
Commerce aggregation for practice.
Beryl Evans, head coach, is sched
uling out of town games.
Friend School Teachers
Want Larger Wage Increase
Friend, Neb.. March 2R. (Spe
cial.) Teachers in the public
schools here unanimously refused
the wage increase recently granted
by the school board and all refused
to sign contracts before the time
limit expired. The board- called a
special session to decide whether a
further increase should be granted
or an attempt made to obtain an en
tirely new teaching staff.
"Eddie" Hazen Leaves to
Join Terre Haute Team
"Eddie" Hazen, outfielder with the
Omaha Western league team last
season and well known in local and
semioro circles, left last night for
Bloomington, 111., where he will re-
ort for practice with the lerre
aute club of the Central league.

Giants and Red Sox Row
Over Umpires For Series
Interleague Games May Be Called Winters and Kauff
Exchange Wallops in the Dallas Ball Park Kauff
Objects to Speed.
By "BUGS" BAER.
Dallas, Tex., March 28. Getting
all steamed up about umpires in the
spring is something like worrying
about frostbites in the land where
umpires usually go. But the word
scuffle over Umpires Rooney and
Krennan looks as if it were going to
develop into a serious case of
poisoned dignity.
Ed Barrow is right up on his rear
wheels. He buzzes that if Gus
Rooney doesn't go, then Bill Bren
nan doesn't go. What is consomme
for the goose is chicken gumbo for
the gander.
The squawk against Rooney is es
tablished on a sour decision on Fred
Toney, who was thrown out on an
orthodox single to right. The de
cision balked the Giants out of the
game. McGraw claims that the sad
piece of judgment proves that
Rooney is no umpire. As a matter
of fact, it proves that he is.
Toney slapped a sure right single
and was bouncing down to first on
all fours like an ant trying to crawl
downstairs on an esculator. Hooper
grabbed the ball on the third bounce,
which used to be out under the old
rules, anyway. Then Hoop kinda
rural free delivered the ball to first
about a Texas mile ahead of Toney,
who was sprinting something like a
Morris chair in the suburbs.
Rooney called him out under the
14 points, which state that when a
man is out, he is out all over. The
panic was on.
When teacher left for the oil park
in Young county he left word that
Rooney was a non compitas ump,
meaning in the classics that he was
a bimbo.
Definition of Bimbo.
A bimbo is two sizes wronger
than a two-foot yardstick. When
Barrow inhaled the gossip about his
trained ump he immediately started
in to turn sour like milk in a thun
derstorm. His dignity was poisoned.
He pulled his congress gaiters up
around his ankles and swore that if
Rooney was a lemon then Brennan
was a whole orchard.
Barrow also wired to Papa Ban
Johnson and under stress of deep
emotion inadvertently paid for the
message at this end. No answer has
been received owing to the fact that
the aurora borealis consolidated its
resources with the, telegraph com
panies and tied the wires up into
a lovers' knot. The aurora seems
to be doing its spring training in the
south this year.
One minute to change reels.
Another day dawned with its new
hopes and fears. The contest at
Wichita Falls was the tip-off on fu
ture operations. Matty protested
Rooney and Brennan did the high
jacking alone, although Barrow be
lieved himself sour.
The showdown comes at either
Austin or San Antonio. McGraw is
trying to cancel the Austin game, as
he hasn't enough cloth to supply all
his southern trade. Ump Klem is
waiting at San Antonio to horn into
Rooney 's place.
Barrow expects an American
league ump at the same town to
push Brennan out into the dry, dry
world. McGraw chirps that Bren
nan stays in until the moon barks
back at the dogs and congress votes
the soldiers that six months' pay.
Johnson Is Peeved.
The stage was never better set
tor a Tianir. HpIasco lnnlrs liL-i a
! dumbbell against his gymnasium
full of the same kind ot hardware.
McGraw chirps that he doesn't care
whether he plays the series out or
not. The Red Sox need the money.
If this trip flops through, Barrow
will have to kidnap Babe Ruth and
sell him all over again.
Ban Johnson is sore on Bill Bren
nan for jumping to the Feds in the
clays of "five and ten" baseball.
Krennan is a capable umpire and
should be right back in the big
leagues now if Johnson would lower
the drawbridge. When they gave
dignity out Ban wasn't hiding be
hind the door. At present Brennan
is chief of staff of the Southern
laegue, and getting paid better than
he would drag down from Ban.
The blow-off comes in either Aus
tin or San Antonio. There are two
umpires waiting in one of those
cities to throw the bull by the horns.
Brennan makes it a trio and, as
McGraw says, doing a little shadow
umpiring, while Barrow takes it on
the loop for Boston, and the higher
things of life.
No game today. No game tomor
row. Jess Winters and Benny Kauff
came to blows in the Dallas ball
park. The game having been called
off, Matty held a batting practice
before leaving for Austin. Winters
is whizzing them over in the gloom.
Kauff objected to the dangerous
speed.
One word led to another and
finally Kauff rushed into the box
and soaked Winters on the waffle.
Winters mailed the wallop back
with increased postage.
The players were pulled apart be
fore they had damaged anybody but
themselves. Neither one wants to
meet Carpentier.

Oklahoma Will Not Play
Cornhuskers This Fall
Xorman, Okl., March 28. (Spe
cial.) Oklahoma will not play at
Omaha this year. Neither will the
Sooners meet the Cornhuskers in
a gridiron battle. At least a game
between these two schools is not
included on the revised schedule just
announced by Ben G. Owen, athletic
manager and foot ball coach. Of the
seven games on the Sooners' 1920
schedule, five are with Missouri val
ley teams.
THE good looks of a
Lanpher may get you
its wearing qualities
will hold you. The new
models certainly have
a pleasing personality.
LANPHER HATS
Carpentier has a left like Jim
Driscoli. feints like Jim Corbett, a
nut like Kid McCoy, footwork like
Leonard, a body like Apollo but
he hasn't got a right like Dempsey.
Pretty near time to fill up a shoe
box with every manner of grub and
hie yourself to the nearest swim
min' hole.
While Rube Benton is in mid
season form as far as his pitching
arm is concerned, he is still 10 years
behind on his base running ability.
He who laughs last is the guy
who finishes first.
It is quite sppropriate that a box
ing bill should start a fight
Trousers will be worn longer,
chirps Dame Fashion. Quite right.
About two years longer, we should
say.
The German armies now fighting
in Germany are running true to
form. They both claim the vic
tory. Carpentier. if he fights Dempseey,
might say "Monsier Jack, I only re
gret that I have but one chin for
you to sock."
Although the French champion
admitted he could not speak the
Engleesh, he showed that he pos
sessed the brain and common sense
he is reputed to possess by making
a speech that was hardly a half a
minute lon.
Regardless of the fact that he
does not speak our chin music
fluently, he understands perfectly
the meaning of our dollar sign.
Giants can't see how thev pan
lose this year. It's another case of
if I was yoi I d be crazy about
me.
Carpentier became acclimated
quickly. Being a fistic champion he
immediately signed his name to a
motion picture contract calling for
$$$$$$.
Johnny Dundee isn't true to
Bennv Leonard. He recently signed
articles of agreement to fight Joe
W eiiing.
The mayors of the various big
league towns don't have to indulge
in spring training in order to be in
shape to throw out the first ball of
the season.

Tommy Milton Wins
Los Angeles Race
And Purse of $5,800
Los Angeles, Cal., March 28.
Tommy Milton, driving 50 miles on
the one and one-quarter-mile Los
Angeles speedway in .36 minutes
and 52.20 seconds, won the third and
final heat and a prize of $5,800 in
a series of races today. His average
for the 50 miles was 111.8 miles an
hour.
Milton led the way across the
line in the final heat, nearly a
quarter of a lap ahead of Art Klein,
who nosed Eddie Pullen out for
second place. The winner had held
first place from the start. In the
15th lap, Jimmy Murphy, winner of
the 250-mile race held on the speed
way February 28, started a spurt
which brought him up almost on
even terms with the. leader, but
blew a tire which cost him a lap and
put him out of the running.
Roscoe Searles placed fourth in
the final heat. Klein won the first
50-mile heat in 27 minutes 10.80 sec
onds; Milton was second; Joe Boyer
third and Eddie Hearn fourth.
Murphy was the winner of the
second heat, his time being 27 min
utes, 27 seconds. Eddie Pullen was
second, Ralph de Palma third and
Searles fourth.
These eight drivers participated
in the final heat.
RAYMOND Hitchcock has
stuffed more fun and pretty
girls, singable songs and de
lightful dances into the 1920 edi
tion of "Hitchykoo" than can be
found in half a dozen ordinary
shows. It is not only Hitchcock,
who is supreme in his line of fun
making, but the clever and capable
people who assist him are seldom
found in such multitude. Many a
musical show would consider itself
well equipped if it had one or two
of them. And after these are con
sidered comes the "40 under 20,"
who are there, and most of them
so far under 20 they would have to
jump high to touch it. It certainly
is good to gaze upon that galaxy
of youth and beauty that is grouped
at the finale, and which is shown in
all sorts of becoming gowns, cos
tumes, and permissible omission of
extra covering, grouped in effective
postures or employed in dances and
other bewildering movements as the
show moves rapidly along. For it
is a show, and a good one.
Conceding that Mr. Hitchcock
has failed in none of the attributes
that have won him favor for well
night onto a score of years, let us
pass to consideration of some of the
others. Rita Dane, young and
charming, with a voice both fresh
and sweet, clear, resonant and beau
tiful in its every quality, sings sev
eral songs in a way that delights
and puts over the big song hit of
the show, "An Old Fashioned Gard
en," most effectively. Prophecy
doesn't pay, but this young woman
will be remembered for her share in
this show, if she never does any
thing else. Florence O'Dennishawn
is known for other appearances
here, and retains all her grace and
charm in dance or repose. She has
one really artistic number, with Bil
ly Holbrook, to open the second
half of the program. Elaine Palmer
also gets some deserved prominence
in this, for she too, is lithe, graceful
and beautiful, and dances with al
luring abandon.
It was advertised that Princess
Whitedeer would do a "shimmy,"
and she does. But she does more.
Her dancing is that of the careless
unspoiled maiden, whose limbs and
body express the joy that courses
with her blood. She makes no pre
tense to the "classical," but the
Brandeis stage never saw anything
to equal her buck and wing steps,
nor the really expressive Indian
dance she opens with.
And so it goes. These are some
of the high spots in "Hitchykoo."
The affair in confidently recom
mended to any looking for entertainment.

A program of unusual merit is
offered for the delectation of
Orpheum patrons this week. Alex
ander Carr scored a dramatic
triumph yesterday in his playlet,
"An April Shower," written by him
self and Edgar Allen Woolf. This
star offers a human characterization
of a Jew whose long and difficult
climb to financial independence did
not harden his heart when an op
portunity came to make a great
sacrifice to help another. Helen
Cunningham, Harry F. Bodie and
Frank Backas assist Mr. Carr in
this worthy presentation. For an
encore yesterday Mr. Carr recited
"Life," using the accent of a pessi
mistic and blase Englishman.
Edith Clifford, vivacious blond, is
a comedienne of unusual ability. She
captivated two Sunday audienr.es
with her songs, "We Used to Think
That Mary Ann Was Simple,"
"Why do They Call Us the Weaker
Sex?" and "Why Do They Call
Them Babies?" She also offers a
brief monologue for the benefit of
the women. She avers that women
are showing more backbone than
the men. Roy Ingraham assists at
the piano.
"The Rainbow Cocktail," is the
name of a musical fantasy offered
by Bruce DeLette, Helene Coyne
and a company of sprightly misses.
Miss Coyne's toe dancing and
pirouetting is artistic. This number
is one of several headline features
of the bill.
The Hickey Brothers arouse all
sorts of merriment, one of the
twain having the makeup of a sec
ondhand store dummy and both be
ing nimble. Sam Hearn, in the guise
of a rube with a violin, is here for
laughing purposes and he had a
good start yesterday. Rudinoff,
Parisian vaudeville artist, fashions
pictures on a smoke-stained panel,
offers clever whistling numbers and
concludes his pleasing act with a
series of shadowgraphs. The Ishi
