March 83—No Na- tional league team has a possible chance to waive a third baseman out of the league except one who is helpless, The Boston and Philadelphia clubs are keen on the trail of any- thing that can play third base. The Cincinnati club has been man- euvering for some time to get Dres- sen, the St. Pau] third baseman, who is @ half pint of ice in size but who hit better than ,300 last year, It {s not that the Reds have lost in Pinelli but the third baseman who was a splash in 1922 seems to be having his troubles physically, and Pat Moran is smart enough to know that he cannot win ® pennant if he does not have somebody on third who will offset Traynor of Pittsburg, Groh of the Giants and Friberg of the Cubs. As likely as not the race of 1924 will center on the skill with which third base ts played. Boston and Philadelphia would claim anything in the ¢hird base Ine that the American league would ask waivers on. The American league clubs, while making no open boast that they have superior players, feel confident they are stronger in the East, New York against New York, Boston against Boston, Philadelphia against Phila- delphia and even Washington against Brooklyn. are as sure of it In St. Louis against St. Louis, quite as confident of Chicago against Chicago and will match Cleveland against Cincinnati and Detroit against Pittsburgh. In every way they can have laid trades and transfers to preserve the strength of what they have and make arrangements that will bring to them the best of players who may develop in the minors.

Now and then players have not signed con- tracts until the regular season Opens, and there have been instan- ces where the player did not sign until after the first scheduled game had been played. There have been disagreements between some of the players and some of the owners as to the amount players should be paid for 1924 but these always occur. Invariably there is jockeying on both sides. The owner offers less than he ex- pects he must give and the player asks more than he expects to re- ceive. One significant feature of the early season is the comparatively easy manner in which the Cincin- nati players have been brought into line. When veterans sign their contracts with so little protest as the Reds signed theirs, it is evident that they figure they have a chance to win the championship. TWO RINGSTERS RISING QUICKLY T0 TOP. OF PILE Berlenbach and Stone Show Class in Recent Scraps in Gotham BY FAIRPLAY (Copyright 1924, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, March 3—Paul Ber- lenbach, the sensational young knotker-out who came from the Wrestling mats of the Now York Athletic club, will shortly appear against stronger opponents than Young proved to be. But the in- tention is to avoid until the outdoor season at least the leading middle- weights and. lightweights. This is wise. Berlenbach is a novice and is entitled to complete his study of ring craft before he goes up against the wise old foxes who might show him up on the basis of experiences. But all the indications are that while not possessing all the vivid personality of the late Stanley Ketchell he hits pretty nearly as hard as Steve used to do and in the end will make more money than the former middleweight champion ever did. Berlenbach leads with his left to pave the way for his right as he should do. The right travels straight and true. He can get a lot of power in a short blow. When he has time to measure a man, that right contains dynamite. Florida men's championship tour- nament opens at Palm Beach. Annual tournament of American Bowling Congress at Chicago.

I had Stine, too, appears to have every- thing a youngster needs wherewith to attain greatness. His footwork is splendid, better than almost any of the modern fighters show. He has a crouch which seems to ren- der his jaw invulnerable from the opponent's right hand and his punches and hooks are all short and powerful. He lacks certain dash in the ring and in fact is not a brilliant performer. In this respect he re- sembles Berlenbach. Like the New Yorker, he is steady and grim, will- ing to mix, and always cool. His victory over Dave McGill was his thirty first and his 19th knockout. A fine showing for this comparati newcomer to the realm of fistians. Stone has won the liking of Tex Rickard and New York fans, as well as visiting enthusiasts are likely to see him quite oft8n from now on. ss Dain Man Deliberate. in Suicide, Said CHICAGO, March 3.—In full view of scores of pedestrians, an unidentified man deliberately walked across the ice and to his death in Lake Michigan today. The man, middle aged, poorly dressed, and apparently despond- ent, detached himself from a group of persons strolling along the lake front, and started across the ice. His hands were thrust deep in the pockets of a thread- bare coat. His head was bent forward, though in deep meditation. Paying no heed to cries of warn- ing of the horrified spectators, the man walked on. A policeman ran to the scene but feared to follow as the ice cracked ominously under his welght. The policeman blew his whistle and yelled. Maintaining his slow, deliberate gait, without a lift of the head, the man covered the 200 to the line of black marking the limit of the ice field and sank from sight.

(United Press Sperts Editor) New York, March 3,— (United Press}—John A. Heydler of the Na- tional League, complained with some bitterness recently that some of the fans in the middlewest had not forgotten the 1919 world's series scandal, but they were in a mood to forgive the payers involved when their memory was refreshened. The action of the jury which heard Joe Jackson's suit aga'nst the Chicago White Sox for back pay due on a contract that the club cancelled indicated that sentiment, as represented in the jury box, did not hold Jackson culpable. The other players involved were not on trial, Second baseman and new ager of the Senators, Guard Your Mouth Let WRIGLEY ’S be the guardian of your mouth and throat.

Ie was rather remarkable, too, that from all the ranks of profes- sional baseball, only Heydler was willing to journey out to Milwaukee and offer his testimony in defense of baseball. Jackson may never get back into baseball and it is a longshot bet that he will not. He may never get the money that he thinks is coming to him. But if Jackson was seeking a moral bath at the trial. it would seem that the verdict of the jury washed his face, even if his hands may still be dirty. eee It would be one of the few good breaks that ever fell his way if Johnny Evers should be able to spring a sensation witn the Chicago White Sox, while Frank Chance ty taking his leave of absence, It there is anything in the card players’ philosophy that the hands can’t run badly forever,’ Johnny Ever ought to be getting a good break before long.
