A large staff of pitcher is the crying need of the 1 tusker team for the nappy sextet of. games slated for this week and lieu. Although the work will be done in much warmer weather than that with which the lluskers have been con tending during early spring prac tices the twirling: staff has not been able to work all of the soreness out of its arms and the strenuous start anticipated necessitates that a heavy battery of tossers accompany the team. It is expected that two men will be u.-cd in each of the first few games in order to split up the work and save the arms for the other twelve games to follow. Only seven of the eighteen games slated for the season will be played in Lincoln, two with Wesleyan uni versity; two with Ames; two with the Kansas Aggies and one with Kansas University. Thirteen games will be played away from home, six being listed for the early spring trip and five for the remainder of the season.

I.ouU Urownifi l !!ntT Coming Seagull Willi l'rac titolly Saint Lineup a Lai-t Year. By IRVING VAUCHAN. Omah ImiH Mir. , Mobile. AU.. March .-(Speiiul.) The people who arc paiiig out pennants to the Yank and Indian had letter concede omethinir more than Bit outside chance in the M. Louis Drowns. A day in ihi spring camp it Miiticicnt to convince one that Lee Fohl and his men take their flag prospect erinm-ly, but from a nonpartixan it looks as if if it will take a lot of luck to hove the ttrownies home in the van of the procession. There are three other good club they will have to reckon with during the summer. Manager Fohl think so well of thi team he finished with lat sea son that he in going to start riwlit over with it again next month. There has been a ilock of young; players of various kinds down here triving for recognition, but none appears to; l.avc a chance. Danforth to Stick. The lone new face sure to be in the Brownie picture throughout the year is Dave Danforth. Danfurth was purchased from Columbus, O., for eight players. Danforth, when with the Sox. sim ply could not steady himself. F.vcry time he started a game he would be murdered in a couple of innings. When he relieved some hurlcr he usually was invincible. In the As sociation last season he won 25 and lost 7. . In addition to Danforth, the Brown3 have all the men who car ried the pitching burden last season. Among them are some excellent hurl ers. and it is on these fellows that Fohl bases most of his flag- hopes. The star of the lot is Urban Shocker, who won 27 and lost 12 last season. The others are Dixie Davis, Flam Van Gilder, Ray Kolp and Waj wright. Fohl also thinks well of V iT liam Bayne, who copped five straight toward the end of the 1921 campaign. Of the many rookie hurlcrs, two have a chance to hang on for a time. One of them is Koy Davis, a right hander, Johnny Overlook, the Chi cago semi-pro who was with St. Paul, also has looked good. Finished Well in 1921. The reason the Browns are optim istic about their pennant chances is that they finished well last year, de spite a series of adverse happenings. Martin McManus, who finally won the second sack job after Fohl had done a great amount of experiment ing, improved wonderfully as the 1921 race began to wane, and he probably will be a bit better this year. Ihird base will be looked after bv Frink Ellerbe, who was obtained from Washington last season. Sis ler, of course, will perform in his customary place at first and Gcrbcr at short.. The veteran Jimmy Austin is going to stick tor utility purposes and will be assisted by Gene Robert son, who was farmed out to Jopliu last year. ' Fohl has only four outfielders, but they make up .in ability for what they lack in numbers. Tobin, Jacob son and Williams will be the regular guardians and will comprise a hard hitting trio. Incidentally, they can field. The fourth man is Chick Shorten, who is a pretty fair man to have around for an emergency. . The team is well fixed behind the plate with Hank Severeid, Josh Bill ings ana rat Lollins.

The University of Iowa mile relay team has been invited to attend the Penn relays which will be held at Phila delphia during the latter part of April. Since the. team is entered in the Drake relays which is to be held also in the latter part of April, it is possible that the board in control of athletics will not sanction the trip east.'

One can never tell how much pdditional racing there will be at Tijuana. This has always been in evidence during the six years that President James Wood Coffroth has directed the border course. When he promises a race meet of a certain duration, he delivers and then for good measure he announces an ex tension. Thai's one reason why sonic of the tnot prosperous horse men oi the country arc following his banner. Now conies news of the exten sion. , Just how long the meeting will be extended has not been an nounced but there will be a sub stantial increase in the number of racing days. The 100th day of the meeting ended March 19, the limit originally planned. There was a short interruption two months ago when rail transportation failed dur ing the heavy rains. This is taken to mean that the extension will be for about 25 days, it might be a trifle shorter and a little longer, but the figure 25 seems to be concerned. On to a glorious closing will go the sport at the bor der course. All signs point to such a determination. " - . Ragan'Signs Eight " Omaha Players for Waterloo (Ia.)
