SAN ANTONIO. March 31—Kid
Gleason used to have a ball team
In Chicago tn&t was hard to beat.
But In the years that have passed
since Gandil and Reisberg and
Felsch and Jackson and the others
conspired to deceive, the Chicago
White Sox have fallen into decay.
Today, I watched a team here
In the rebuilding. A new team,
full of new lire and life. The Chi
cago White Sox were battling the
Giants In spring training camp,
tut for all the ardor of their
playing, this might have been the
world aeries.
"The apirit" Donie Bush told
me, "ia the best that I ever saw
on any ball club!
"This team finished next to las:
last year. They batted seventh
and fielded fourth But we have
made some very Important changes
We have added power and pitching
Give us the same defense we had
last year, or a little better, and we re
on the way up."
Smack ’Em Sinead in Left
Bush, to begin with, has added
an important slugger, a natural
hitter, in Smead Jolley, bought j
from the coast league. Jolley will
start In left, with Reynolds in
center and Watwood in right. Jol
ley batted .387 last year; Reynolds
hit .317 and Watwood .202. Besides,
there is Jim Moore, a young man
from Dallas who pounded Texas
League pitching for an average oi
.364 last season. Dave Harris, who
hit .348 for Providence and .366
for Portland last year, is another
outfield candidate. Alex Metzler.
whose hitting fell off last year, is
the holdover.
In the infield, at first base,
where we should properly begin
just to be formal. Is C. Arthur
Shires, of whom you may have
heard something betore now
Arthur bats in the American
League better than he did in the
cauliflower league, as his mark of
.312 for last year reveals. John
Clancy is tnc unaerstudv.
Cisaell Improved at Second
Bush has decided to start Cur
Kill at second, believing his play
ing will be improved there. The
expensive young man from Port
land showed improvement last
year over his first year, and looks
even better yet this season.
A fight is on for the shortstop
, Job. Hunnnefield may start. But
Bush is fond of Ernie Smith, the
i boy from Birmingham, who smack
f* ed Southern League pitchers for
a mark of .302 last year. I think
that eventually Irving Jefferies,
Dallas, will be the regular short
stop of the White Sox. He played
at both third and short last year,
had a good fielding mark, and
batted .305.
At third is another expensive
young man. Willie Kamm. who
cost $100,000 seven years ago. There
U no indication that Willie will be
displaced this year. He hasn’t earn
ed that $100 000 worth just yet,
ano Donie wants to give him every
opportunity to do so.
The pitching of Faber, Thomas.
Lyons. Young Ed Walsh and Hal
McKain is finding competition
among as nice a set of >’ounfc
\ pitchers as iren in any of the big
league camps. A big long drink
of-water of a southpaw. Cecil Pat
Caraway, looks promising Another
who seems sure to stick is Vic
Frasier from Dallas, a right-hander
’ •* ho injured his hip in practice the
other day, but is showing signs or
catching provided by Berg.
Autrv and Johnny Riddle, from
Indianapolis, the team technically
looksas though it should do better
than seventh In the American
League. _

(Special to The Herald;
PORT WORTH, March 31—Coach
Franclsc A. Schmidt of Texas Chris
tian University has divided his
spring grid squad into two teams j
and two games will be played be- >
fore the training season closes j
Although the squad has dwindled •
in numbers until there are only a ;
few more than enough for two;
teams. Coaches Schmidt and Wolf )
have been doing some valuable;
work toward another championship
team next fall.
The Martin Mavericks are cap
tained by Othol Martin. Jacksboro. i
letter man at end for the past two

Big Top
NEW YORK, March 31—(.-Pi—
Mickey Cochrane, sparkplug catcher
for the Philadelphia Athletics, says
there are about 20 American leag- j
uers who are always a threat when j
on base. Those most likely to try
to steal, he says, are: Yankees— \
Lazerri and Combs; Washington—j
Rice. Goslin, Myers and Bluege;
Boston—Rothrock and Barrett; Chi-:
cago—Cissell. Hunnefield and Metz
ler; Cleveland—Morgan, Fonseca
and Jamieson; St- Louis—Blue and
Manush; Detroitr-Gehringer ana ,
Johnson. Of the Athletics, Coch* .
rane lists Mipler as the most danger
ous on the paths.
If Manager Bob Shawkey was be
ginning to view with alarm the fact
that his New York Yankees were
doing little hitting this spring he
should be relieved now.
Yanks Hitting
In their last two games the Yanks
have pounded out 29 hits, a fair
share of them for extra bases. Babe
Ruth pounded out four safe hits
m Saturday’s game and then went
hitless against Houston yesterday, j
Floyd C. (Babe* Herman is back,
in the fold, and all’s well with the |
Brooklyn Robins. !
Herman, a hardy holdout all
spring, finally surrendered yester- \
day and accepted terms calling for i
a one-year contract at 115.000. He
asked for $25,000. With Herman in
the fold and Del Bissonett* recov
ered from an attack of boils. Mana- j
ger Wilbert Robinson can put on |
the heaviest hitting team Brooklyn
as seen in years.
Barney Friberg. utility man with
the Phillies, is the most valuable
player in the National league. Man
ager Shot ton has declared. ‘‘I said
th- same thing last season.” Shot
ton stated, "and I still think so. He i
can play any position on a team J
and play it as well if not better for.
a time than any other man in the
league.”
Bell on Bench?
Shotton intimated that Priberg
may get the call for {second base
over Captain Thompson, iate in
reporting for practice.
The New York GlanUi may be par
doned if they hope the opposition
in the National league la no tough
er than that provided In spring ex
hibitions by the Chicago White 8ox.
The two teams have played nine
games so far. Each has won four j
and one was tied. The Giants had j
a .seven run lead in yesterday's bat
tle and then just barely managed to
win. 10 to 8.
Lester Bell, obtained to do regu
I lar third base duty for the Chicago
i Cubs, may turn out to be a substi
j tute for Clarence Blair.
Blair, handy man of the 1929 Na
tional league championship Cubs,
was sent to third base last week
; when Bell’s arm went wrong, and
1 all during the Pitsburgh senes his
j play, both batting and fielding, out
shone that of any man on the club.
The Cubs finally got the combination j
(jesterday and defeated the Pirates,'

Athens High Will Defend
Its Crown Won
Last Year
- t
CHICAGO, March 31—OP)—From
urban centers and tiny villages rep
resenting every section of the Unit
ed States except the Pacific coast,
bands of high school basketball
players arrived today for the Uni
versity of Chicago’s twelfth Na
tional tournament, which starts to
morrow.
Thirty-six teams—four less than
last year—are entered in the tourn
ament which probably will be the
last, since the north central con
ference of colleges and secondary
schools has declared itself opposed
to such tournaments. Illinois has
four entrants, while Texas has
three, including the Athens five
which made the Journey to Chi
cago by motor bus to defend the
title it won last year.
The opening contest will pit Tex
as against West Virginia, with John
Reagan high of Houston, represent
ing the former, facing Linsley
Academy, the West Virginia hope
for championship laurels, at 11 o’
clock tomorrow* morning.

The fight of the house democrats

agriculture what they can. If they
can put over the senate amend

that the house bill on many indus

achieved that much in the interests
of the farmers. Eat if the indus

are practically certain to be ad

Brownsville at San Benito.
La Feria at Harlingen.
The Cameron county baseball
race in the upper bracket will come
to a head Tuesday at Harlingen
when the Cardinals take on the
La Feria Cavaliers.
These two teams are the leaders,
with Harlingen yet to suffer a
trimming. They took the Cavaliers
down by a short count in their
first game. Since La Feria has been
going like a house afire and Tues
day's game is likely to be an in
teresting one.
While these teams are clashinz,
the Brownsville Eagles will make
an effort to get into the win column
at San Benito. The Eagles have
shown flashes of good ball and are
likely to get right in the Grey
hounds' kennel Tuesday.
