AL TLATTE and "Billy" Lee,
last season's garden performers,
for the Omaha club, joined the
team yesterday at the Fort Smith,
(Ark.) training camp and when these
two veterans donned tn',ir uniforms
the stock of the local club took a
jump.
With Platte and Lee in the fold
and. such fielders as "Pug" Griffin
and Hazen to complete the outfield,
1 o wonder the stock in the Omaha
chib's pennant race jumped. Griffin,
Lee, llazcn and Platte rwing a wick
ed bat and when it conies to grabbing
the apples out in the garden we doubt
if any other club in the Western
circuit can boast of an outfield any
better than. this tribe of Buffaloes
who will take care of the outfield for
Manager Lelivelt.
Manager Lelivvelt will cover first
that's already decided upon. "Whi
ty" Gislason will be teen again this
summer protecting-the second bag
and with the scrappy little Gislason
tagging 'cm at second, Owners Burch
and Finn have a player to be proud
of. Davj Claire, who was purchased
outright from Ty Cooh of Detroit,
will play short. The Tiger boss in
formed Secretary Finn when the sale
was completed that Claire was one
of the most promising of all young
talent the Detroit Americans were
able to signup at the close of the
1920 season.
Fred Haney, who held down the
third sack last season, thas as yet
failed to make an appearance at the
camp of the Buffaloes. Whether
Haney reports or not, Manager Le
livelt has a bird by the name of
Clayton who seems to handle him
self well around the third bag. Ac
cording to reports, Clayton scoops
'em up in regular big league fashion
and when it comes to swinging the
sticks he seems to have the ability
to plant the ball where the fielders
"ain't."
' Cy Lingle and Floyd Brown, who
collected monthly checks from the
club last season for wearing sl mask
and chest protector and performing
back of the batter, are routiding
into great form. George 'Stapleton
of the Southern league, is another
catcher Manager Lelivelt expects to
make a regular this year.
What the local club reeds now is a
squad of eood hurlers. Oscar Fuhr
and Cuban Palmero have graduated
from the Western league. 1 his

boy from "out in the sticks" who
breezed into Omaha and caused them
to drop considerable money on the
outcome of the match.
Joe Stangl and his followers jour
neyed to Tekamah, Neb., sometime
aeo to wrestle McGill. It was a
handicap match. The lowan in order
to win the $500 side bet and match
was to throw "Pat" twice within an
hour. McGill turned the trick and
pinned Stangl to the canvas in 35
minutes.
Dame Rumor, who is quite fickle,
has it that Joe and his followers
intended to lose to McGill at the
first match in order, to bring the
W'isner athlete to Omaha for a fin
ish match. The artiefcr were 'signed
for a Stangl-McGill finish match ini
this city. Followers of the Manning
(la.) grappler were glad.
The match was scheduled for
March 23 at the loccl auditorium.
Stangl's followers scraped up all
the coin they could. They figured
that Stangl could easilv beat McGill
and they would win back their $500
wager and plenty of money besides.
McGill trained hard for the match.
So did Stangl. They met. McGill
won in straight fa'ls. Something like
$9,000 changed from the hands of
Stangl's followers to those of "Pat's"
followers from W'isner. '
Just because they come from the
country is no reason to believe they
are "easy pickings."
Managers Slow Filing,
Players' Contracts in
Amateur Association
Although it is a well-known fact
that the managers of practically
every team in the various leagues of
the Amateur Base1 Ball association
have signed at least a dozen players,
the managers are slow in filing their
players' contracts with Secretary J.
J. Isaacson.
Up to last night not more than a
dozen contracts were filed. These
were filed by several of the man
agers in the City, Class A league.
Teams of the Commercial, Class
A t league, Greater Omaha and
Church, Class B leagues, will start
their spring training Saturday after
noon, if weather conditions permit,
and Sunday afternoon several prac
tice games will be' played by the
teams of the City, American and
Gate City leagues.
Red Sox Will Be Under
A Dual Management
Boston, Mass., March 25. The
Boston American league base ball
club will be under a dual manage
ment this year, with the whole team
acting as , a supplemctal board of
strategy. Hughie Duffy, the manager
in name, in a statement made at the
spring camp at Hot Springs, pub
lished today, said that he and Jimmy
Burke, the coach, would share the
management in fact. Burke was man
ager of the St. Louis Browns last
year. '
"We are veterans of the game and
neither of us seeks any individual
glory. All we want to do is win,
ball games. That will be glory
enough," Duffy said.

THE POINT
An optimist 'and pessnnist
Strolled Wath the balmy sky;
"Tis spring,' observed the optimist, ,
"The robins homeward fly."
"My wife," replied the pessimist,
"Is making rhubarb pie." ,
"Spring flowers," said the optimist,
"Of red and gold and blue,
The soil the gentle sun has warmed
Will soon be sprouting through."
"Yes, yes," replied the pessimist,
"And poison ivy, too!"
"The rabbits," said the optimist,
"Are leaping in the glen.
Last night, beside my door I heard
The warbling of a wren."
"The flies," remarked the pessimist,
v "Are swarming 'round again."
"The boys," announced the optimist,
Continuing the chat,
"Till dusk are gathered in the streets
To play with ball and bat."
"My wife," returned the pessimist,
"Will want a new spring hat."

Mr. Coolidge may not have a great deal of influence as an eleventh
member of the cabinet, but we'll bet he has as much to say as any of the
regular members did in the last.
