Fa Rourke has the best catching staff in minor league base ball in the opinion of Carl Robinson, former Rourke hurler, who worked out with the Omaha team this spring in Okmulgee, Okl., Rourke training camp. Moreover, Weidel at third, Gisla son at second and Lelivelt at first are among the best basemen in the league, Robinson believes. Robinson arrived in Omaha last week from the south. Here's his opinion of Pa Rourke's club: ' "Cy Lingle, George Hale and Floyd Brown can be first string catchers on any team in minor league base ball. That appjies to all three individually. Collectively, Tommy Gibbons Clamors For Bout With Champion Cy Lingle. George Hale, then, they form the best staff 'n the minors. Brown looks especially good. He is young, but not too young. He can throw like a vet eran in mid-season, hit like a league leader and he can certainly catch. Lingle and Hale are great ball players and I think Rourke is mighty glad to have them. "Weidel at third base looks fine!" Robinson says. "Gislason at sec ond looks good and Lelivelt at first looks good. Lelivelt knows a lot and can sure hit the mil. If Maullin can hit he II make good, because he s got lots of Chicago nerve. In my estimation, the outfield is Rourke's only weak spot. Donica is really an infielder. The outfield may develop later in the season, but it is not in a class with the rest of the team now. . "Palmero, Konn and Fuhr look fine on the mound. Palmero is cer tainly the goods. Kopp had a sore arm, he was worked too much in training season, but I understand it is coming along all right now. Big Oscar Fuhr has plenty of stuff and knows how and when to use it. The rest of staff looks proportionately promising." Kobinson claims there s no use go ing to Uklahoma to train a ball team. "The wind would knock you down, and it blows 'all day and all night every day and every night," he hissed. Robinson says the Omaha club is certainly a first division team if not a league leader. Brother of "Phantom Mike" Believes He Can Put Beck ett Away as Did Carpentier. Tommy Gibbons wants to fight Georges Carpentier. To prove his claim to the right to meet the French idol, Tommy is going to cross the Atlantic ocean, lick Toe Beckett, the British heavy weight whom Carpentier knocked out in 74 seconds, punch a few other Europeon pugs into submission and returning renew his offers to the Frenchman. "Them's his senti ments 1" He sails May 21. Gene Melady of Omaha was one of the first in the field with an offer for Carpentier. Melady offered Tommy Gibbons of St. Paul $25,000 to box Carpentier and offered to meet the Frenchman's demands, but reserved the right to name the scene of the fight. Gibbons gladly ac cepted. Carpentier has not defi nitely replied. If one were to consider Tom Gib bons' chances asrainst the French man, the American view would be that it is a good match. Carpen tier's real fiehtiiie class is an un known quantity to those identified with the sport in ths country, be cause he has not been seen in action here. Gibbons is little more than a middleweight, but everybody knows that he is a very classy mitt wielder. If they meet it might be one'of the greatest scraps ever seen in any ring. Then There Is Fulton Offer. But this story does not end with conversation concerning a Carpen-tier-Gibbons bout. Fred Fulton, the Rochester. (Minn.) olasterer. and his manager, Tom O'Rourke, hop up with the next bait for the French man. O'Rourke comes strong with a bid of $125,000 as a purse for a 12-round bout. O'Rourke even offers to let the Frenchman decide how 21100 TOMMY GIBBONS. r t r h GEORGES CARPENTIER. all this money will be split, if Ful ton fails to stop Georges within the 12 rounds. That's a lot of money. Will Georges and his manager accept the offer? Most people don't think so.
