Little js' known of the strength of
the Redskins, but one thing is sure
and that is, if the Indians have been
playing the same brand of basket
ball that has characterized their play
in the last two seasons, Creighton
will find a tough proposition in de
feating the, invaders tonight and
Saturday. ; ' , ' ,
Creighton has one thing to its ad
vantage, that is playing on its own
floor. In Wise, Kearney and Berry,
the locals have three floor men who
rank among the best in this section
of the country, including the Mis
souri Valley. These players know
the floor and baskets and consider
ing these facts, Creighton will en
ter the game lavontcs.
Central High will attempt to de

The widespread upheaval among

not been seen in many years, is
expected to put new life intp the

training and morning practice. His

Condition is up to the , individual
himself. You can 'surround a man
with rules, regulations and the Ten
Blue Don'ts, but if he wants to bust
'em he can , break each rule dish up
into a 144-piece dinner set.
Cobb has apparently grabbed the
right idee out of the raffle. He has
cut the 7:30 reveille off the Tiger's
menu. The players ca,n sleep as
long as they want to, provided they
don't wear their pajamas on the
base lines. v ,-; - - v i
A base ball team isn't like a .var
sity crew that trains 11 months for
an 11-minute defeat. The actual
business of playing base ball every
day is a conditioning process. When
Bat Levinsky was fighting six fights
a week some time ago, Bat didn't
have to bounce around in gymnasi
um like a frog on a burning log.
Lots of fighters have lost their big
fight in the gymnasium. Bat, proved
that you could save it and lose it in

Many Changes in Major League Managers

the pitchers.
Five of the seven new managers
have the advantage of previous
experience in . the holding of the
reins over major league teams.
"Wild Bill" Donovan, who suc
ceeds Gavvy Cravath as boss of the
Phillies, was a popular and far from
unsuccessful pilot of the Yankees for
several years. ' " "

Johnny Evers, who takes Fred
Mitchell's place in Chicago, is mere
ly returning to a,n "old love," as he
was there before. In addition Evers
has had experience as assistant man
ager of the Braves, Giants' and
Phillies..
Fred Mitchell left the Boston
Braves, where he made a reputation
as a coach with Slallings, to take the
management of the Cubs. This year
h returns to the Hub town Na
tionals' and is shaking the team up
to a fare-thee-well.

Pollock said: -
"If the revenue laws remained in
force after the passage of the Vol

put in the position of collecting
money for violations of the law."
Should the ruling be sustained by
the supreme court it affords a vir
tual release for all persons serving

laws, enacted prior to January, 1920.
It is estimated that 50 such are njw
