MONDAY, MARCH 5, 1928 [____Apprrionat sports __ | JANSONTUS AND Brains Will Be Big Item In American League Race BY ALAN J. GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor) New York, March 5.—#)—Brains vs. brains. That’s the main pros- pect in this year’s American league tace. H The Atheltics have baseball brains—plus lined up for the tussle with the brawn of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and the rest of the Yankee clubbers. So far the elemental forces of the Yankees have proved a little too strong for baseball's best minds. Babe Ruth’s big bat has outwitted many a master mind, including that of John McGraw. : The Athletics combine more dia- ond experience under one tent, this season than probably any club in history, not excepting the fox: old Orioles, the Cubs of Frani Chane’s day or the Mack 1en them- sclves of the 1910-14 era. Aggregate 128 Years The two chief strategists alone 2” rogate 128 years. Connie Mack, oldest of major league pilots, is 66 and his first lieute:.ant, Kid Glea-! son, is still a kid at 62. Then there is Jack Quinn, the vet- eran pitcher, 42 and the oldest play- er in cither league, ready for his twenty-fifth year of baseball. Jack’ has spent 15 of these seasons under the big top. | The big three of the last quarter- century of American league all-| around stardom—Eddie Collins, Cobb and Tris Speaker—add their! wisdom and ability to the Philadel- phia cast. Eddie is about out of the competitive picture. He is being groomed Mack’s successor. But Ty arm. Ty and Tris have many a bingle left in their bats. All are 40 or over. This will be Cobb’s 24th season, Speaker’s 22nd and Collins’ 21st in the big show. Jimmy Dykes, Eddie Rommel and gy. Perkins, other menjbers of lack’s machine, all have been in the majors 10 years or more. Sharkey Favored to Win The heavyweight eliminations will be right back where they started if Jack Sharkey docs the expected and Corl guatee Johnny Risko, the Cleveland rubber man, next Monday night in Madison Square Garden. This would leave Sharkey and Tom Heeney as the survivors of the semifinals; the same pair of punch- tossers whose colorless draw a few weeks ago forced Tex Rickard to make a new deal. The net results, it seers, will be represented in gate receipts but not in contenders for Gene Tunney's crown. France's Tea Slipping France's Davis cup tennis defense, in the light of current events, doesn’t look so formidable as it did a few months ago. Jean Borotra, the bounding basque, has becn beaten in two out of three matches by the 19-year-old Australian, Jack Crawford. Henri Cochet has been playing erratic winter-season tennis. And Rene La- coste is reported suffering from a severe attack of neuritis i- his right But the Davis cup can’t be won back in March. By July, when the big test comes, the three mus- keteers probably will be back on the firing line.

The Phillies will pay the Athletics at Fort Myers Wednesday, the Red Sox here Thursday and on Saturday will en-| gage the Athletics in a return game. ATHLETICS’ CLASH TODAY Fort Myers, Fla.—The Athletics were ordered out today for their opening intramural clash. “Please! don’t pick us to win the pennant,” i. the wail of the entire athletic en- tourage. “There scems to be a jinx attached to a team picked as a winner. We hope the experts place us about fourth, then we will have a chance.” BABE’S GAME IMPROVES ! St. Petersburg, Fla. — Babe! Ruth’s golf game is improving. He had one round of 76 yesterday in the course of 63 holes at the Jungle country club course. Workouts on the diamond start in earnest to- morrow with Ruth primed to bang! some homers for the benefit of waiting fans. VANCE HAS HEARING Clearwater, Fla.—Dazzy_ Vance, jitcher holdout of the Brooklyn | Robins, will have his salary dis-} pute aired out at a meeting with Manager Robinson and two directors | of the club tomorrow. ROOKIE KLINGER SOLD Augusta, Ga.—Joe Klinger, an outfielder purchased by McGraw from Norfolk, had the distinction today of being the first Rookie to depart from the Giants’ camp. Aft- cr coming from Canonsburg, Pa., for three meals and a night’s rest he was notified that he had been; sod to Little Rock, FOTHERGILL LOOKS BAD San Antonio, Tex.—Bob Fother- gill, one of the leading batters of the American League, may lose his regular berth in the Detroit out- outfield this year. Manager Mor- iarty has let it be known that he is displeased by the lack of condition in which the outfielder reported for training. Fothergill tipped the beam at 22914 pounds and there is some doubt whether he can get down to playing weight by the start of the season. PECK PLANS WEED-OUT New Orleans.—With his full squad of 49 ball players on hand today, Manager Roger Peckinpaugh of the Cleveland Americans planned the initial step in the ling out pro- cess. The axe probably will fall in a day or two. PIRATES SLIDE Paso Robles, Calif.—Special at- tention is being given. by the Pirates to sliding and base running. Man- ager Donie Bush now has a full squad in camp here. CARDS ALL PRESENT Avon Park, Fla.—The St. Louis jase in the American League URBAN CAPITULATES St._ Petersburg, Fla.—Luke Ur- ban, Braves holdout catcher, has finally capitulated and left his Buf- falo home for the training camp. Urban will take a 30 per cent in- crease over last year’s salary. WARD HEADS SOUTH Shreveport, La.—Another of the veterans of the White Sox, Aaron Ward, who has been playing oa ‘or many years, was on his way today. Cleveland claimed Ward by the waiver route. REDS’ ROLL COMPLETE Orlando, la.—With 29 athletes at the training camp here the Cin- cinnati Reds ball club was virtual- ly complete today. Four are out- side the fold. Of these, Pitcher Car! Mays is here and he is expected to {come to an agreement over his sal- ary dispute with the club manage- ment. The other holdouts are Pitcher Pete Donohue, outfielder Rube Bressler and first baseman Wally Pipp. !CO-ED'S STYLE WAS CRAMPED BACK IN 1734 Cambridge, Mass.—Pity, if you will, the poor co-ed of A.

They also reviewed the possibili- ty of selecting someone to run for member of the state railroad board to fill out the term of Frank Mil- hollan, whose resignation will be- come effective April 1. Frazier of Crosby, com- mittee chairman, said he has been informed that the Independents con- template a court action to deter- mine if Ben Larkin, appointed to take Milhollan’s place, has a right to serve the four years and nine months of Milhollan’s six-year term which will remain on April 1. In view of the possibility of a test of the matter in court, Frazier said, the committee decided to ask prospective candidates for the rail road commission tc circulate thei own petitions and present them t the executive committee for en- dorsement if they wish Nonpartisan support. He said he expects four or five persons to circulate such petitions. The idea, Frazier said, is to have a petition ready to file in the event the courts hold Larkin cannot serve out Milhollan’s unexpired term but only until a successor can be_elected. Frazier said he has been iriformed that petitions to place on the ballot | the names of men seeking election to the alleged vacancy will be pre- sented to the secretary of state and a@ mandamus action instituted if th secretary of state refuses to accep them on the ground that there is no vacancy. BAND OF REBELS General Augustino Sandino Believed in Region North- west of Jinotega Managua, Nicaragua, March 5.— Sandino today was believed to he in the region northwest of Jinotega where American marines have been reinforced and newly provis‘oned by airplane against cventualities. There were rumors that Sandino had left Nicaragua and also that he was about to attack Puerto Ca- bezas, but Little faith was placed in them. | A band of 15 rebels was routed near Biyagual after a brisk fight in which one was slain by marines Saturday, indicating the presence of Sandino in the region. a pack train, feared that it might be ambushed and advanced to recon- noitre. As he entered an enclosure surrounded by a stone wall, rebels opened fire, cutting off: all avenues of escape. At the first volley some marines fell. Scattering, the other members cf the convoy kept up their fire on the insurgents from 1:30 in the after- noon until darkness. Then the marines ceased firing lest the flash of their guns reveal their position to the rebels, who contin:ed firing all night from their stronghold. When it grew dark Lieutenant O'Day escaped from the enclosure. In the meantime another patrol of JEURALGIA. | "THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE 80 marines, who were on another| mission, reached the _ battlefield. The: combined forces launched an attack on the rebels at dawn and routed them. It was estimated that 20) insurg- ents took part in the battle and sev- eral were either killed or wounded. Natives who go with the pack trains to care for the mules aided | the marines in the clash. One na-) tive picked up the rifle of a fallen marine and with a single bullet brought down the rebel who shot the marine.
