“MONDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1925. World Results By Leased Wire MANY CHANGES LIKELY T0 BE ‘MADE IN LINEUP OF BOSTON NATIONALS DURING SUMMER By JOHN B. FOSTER, (Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Feb. 23.—The Bos- ton Nationals, perhaps are in need of more assistance than any club in thelr circuit and they probably will be experimented with to a greater extent during the spring training season than any other club, Almost the same thing could be said of the Boston Americans with respect to their league. What may come out of the dark searon in the New England munici- pality no one can predict thus early in the season, But the Boston fans should not be too much disappointed in any event. Experience has taught them not expect too much. Last year the loyal legions of Bos- ton were much wrought up by re- ports from the spring training camp of what fine things the Braves were doing. A little later they were all aglow over the good work of the Red Sox, early in the season, only to re- lapse dazed and humbled after both clubs flivvered. The Braves’ flop was the worst of the two, The Braves were mentioned in President Heydler'’s report as one of the teams that did not do so well financially. They have been making some efforts to get on their feet for 1925, but they will have to do a lot of experimenting to achieve {t. Powell, the outfielder, who has been a fixture in Boston for some years, has been dropped uncondition- ally. Nels, of Brooklyn, will take his place. Nels does so well some- times that he looks for all the world like a comer, Other times he looks more like a has been. Boston will need something in the infield as well as in the outfield. Burrus, who played In the Southern association last season, will try again for blg league company. He is being groomed by the Braves for first base and if he makes it, he will displace McInnis. This old star of Connie Mack’s champion Athletics has not done so well since he left Philadelphia. Mechanically, he does well enough but he seems to haye found the trajl of a rut and sticks in {t, Burrus is a rough and ready first baseman. .He is not of the polished, eat-like type, but Manager Niehoff, of Atlanta, says he has picked up a lot. Tierney, who played second for the Braves {n 1924 has gone to Brooklyn and Bancroft, the Boston manager, may havé in mind @ rear- rangement of hig infield which he is NEW RECORDS IN SWIMMING TAMPA, Fia,, Feb, 23.—One new world's record and a new national record stood today as a result of com- petition here yesterday. Ethel Lackle, sot a world’s record when she bettered by two seconds her time in the 1824 Olympics for the 110 yard free style swim. She made the distance yesterday in 1 19) 15. Martha Norelius set a new matlont al record for 880 yards in 12:31 3-5. Gertrude Ederle equalied the world’s record of 2:46 3-5 for the 220 yard free style, 2-5 seconds faster than her own former mark. CHAMP CUE PLAY IS ON CHICAGO, Feb. 23.--Play for the ‘world’s championship at 18.2 balkline billiards will be started here tonight with Willie Hoppe of New York, the veteran title holder, favored over a field of four others. Hoppe meets Kamatare Suzuki of Japan, Con- tests will be at 400 points. ake Schaefer who once defeated Hoppe for the champlonship; Welker Cochran of Hollywood, Calif.; Edouard Horemans of Belgium, and Erich Hagenlacher of Germany will be the other contestants. Never Leta Cold Get a ors Check old Overnight There are many wys to treat a cold but only in DIRECT way with vapors that can be inhaled. Vapors penetrate immediately Into every corner of the alr passages and Jungs, soothing and healing with every breath. Vicks Is 80 remarkably successful in treating cold troubles because it acté like “a vapor lamp in salve form.” Aen throat and st the body heat releases vapors of Menthol, Camphor, Eucalyptu ‘Thyme and Turpentine. At the same time Vicks fs absorbed through and stimulates the skin like a poltice or plarter, This double, direct action often checks the worst cold over night. Vv VAPORUB Over 17 Mution Jars Useo Yearty rubbed over keeping to himself. Welch, the play- er who was secured from Seattle and who is really of major league promise, can play either first or in the outfield. As the team is starting with another firrt baseman, Welch may go to the outfileid, which is bad- ly in need of bolstering. That would give Welch and Neis for a start with a third outfielder to be selected. Perhaps it would be Felix who was not in good physical condition last year, but fs popular with the heads of the club, Of course, there also is Casey Sten- gel, who {s as likely to have a tip- top season this year as at any time in his career. He is in good condi- ticn and there {s noroutfielder in their circult who has better judg: ment as to where batters place their hits, Casey is not quite as fast as he was, but if he can get back to the home run habits on a club which needs that sort of thing, he will make the Braves’ outfield much bet- ter than it was last year. DUNDEE [a BUY ONFUTURE PL FOR TITLE BOUT Expects to Get Down to Feather Limit and Take On French Champ. By FAIR PLAY. (Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, Feb. 23.—When Johnny Dundee recently returned from abroad, he came pretty close to letting the cat out of the bag by laying claim to the title he had previously relinquished, the feather- weight title. He covered himself later by say- ing he was only kidding. While under suspension for fall- ure to go through with a match with Bretonnel, the French battler, Johnny ts not so idle as many might suppose. Instead of facing the empty months in idleness, the Scotch .wop is keeping his nose to the grind- stone, faithfully following a plan he figures to bring him down to the featherweight limit by next June. His aim will be a go with the European feather king, Mascart. Mascart {s a Frenchman and the French are crazy for him to get at Dundee and take revenge for what Johnny did to Criqul. Of course, Dundee is barred from fighting at the featherweight pound- age, but hd may get away with it by agreeing to refrain from being billed as the world’s champion, In consenting to meet Mascart, it stands to reason Dundee will be re- stored to good standing by the French Boxing Federation, at whose request the New York commission suspended him in this country. So if the French reinstate him, so will New York. It will be interesting to figure how many persons would accept Kaplan's claim to the title he holds should Dundee win over Mascart. The American fight fans have no use for “assignees” and believe a title holder has got to beat a champion to win a title. As a matter of fact, the national boxing board, composed of the commission af 17 states, re- fused to be a party to the well- meaning dictum of the New York board and still considers Dundee to be the rightful feather king. p HS ae tener MEWS BRIEFS MIAMI, la and his party, John McCormick on a fishing trip, were drifting helplessly seaward when rescued.

YOUNGEST AUTO RACE DRIVER DEFIES DEATH BY PURCHASE OF CAR THAT KILLED MURPHY LOS ANGELES, Calif, Feb. 23.— What destiny has fate in store for the racing car in which Jimmy Mur. phy, speedway idol, met his death? Will lady luck ride on its ta{l? Or, will death pursue him who sits behind the wheel? Frank Lockhart, ever to drive in a championship A. A.

In the hands of the popular Irishman, this same car was the biggest money winner in the game. When Lockhart makes his debut on the “boards in the 250-mile race at Culver City, Calif., he will be officially recognized as the young: est “big time” driver, Three years ago Frank, then a mechanic, saw his first race. It was on a half-mile dirt track at San Luis Obispo, Calif. faster car than those junks,” he thought. So he returned home and started bulding a car, Working nights in a shed, it took about a year for the 1$-year-old boy to build his first racing car, com- posed largely of fliver parts. In 1923 Frank again went to the races at San Luis Obispo, this time asa driver, It was a sad, long- faced boy who pulled into the pits after his trial spins, He had failed to qualify. When the new Ascot Speedway was opened in this city in January 1924, Lockhart drove his first race. He finished last. Two weeks Iater he shoved his car into fifth place and won his first prize, $50, Last October, Arthur Chevrolet, racing car builder, declared Lock- hart's car to be the fastest Ford in the world.

(Copyright, 19: Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Feb. 33.—A story is being circulated that five major leagues are after Koenig of the St. Paul club. The story is correct, save one detail—seven clubs are af- ter him, Koenig played second base and shortatop part of the time for the St. Paul club in 1924. Toward the end of the season he hadan cpportun- ity to jump in ana show what really wasin him. He left so many sparks in his wake that the major leagues suddenly discovered he was the man they all had been looking for. De- sire for him has become an epidemic. The reason for the suddenness of the desire for him is that Koenig never did anything sensational oe fore, Had he been anything of a “phenom” in the past, the major clubs undoubtedly would have nailed him ere now. Koenig is a batter in the niinor leagues of about the 270 class. But he “takes hold of the ball” He does not tap it, These ‘‘take-holders” are rugged guys who hit when the more placid young men have gone on their way down sleva time. He fielded about and about .955 he had a chan nelt position ville, but that does slightest difference to major clubs who want him Both Philadelphia angled for Koonig. Yankees, Washington,, the White Sox, thé St. Louls Browns and one other club. Now that Bob Connery is tho presiding dictator of the St. Pauls, the Yankees seem to have the inside trail for Koenig. Connery was scout for the Yankees until hi became a minor league boss. It is @asy to see w 50 clubs are lined up for Koenig. Each of them needs an infielder, her to fill an aching void or to fill a vold that soon is likely to begin aching Both Philadelphia clubs could stand an infielder; the Yanks and White Sox know wh: thelr troubles will come one day; the Washingtons have a steady job trying to provide fuel for their infield and the Browns are more or less uncertain about thelr inner workings. Eyéry baseball eye that scans the work of the St. Paul club fn 1025 will keep One corner peeled for Koe- nig but when {t comes to extending favors, Connery is eure to give the Yanks first chance to name their figure, many A veteran umpire who, for obv!- ous reasons, does not want to be quoted, was asked recently to name the best pitcher in the American league. Without hesitation, he an swered Shocker,” Why Louls stould have let him get away {s still a mystery to some and not the faltest shadow of a mystery to others who claim to know that Shocker and Sisler did not get along well, that Ghocker got along less well with the owner of the club, who is a positive chap, and that Shocker wanted to get with New York, hoping to get a chance to pitch in at least one world series. Shocker was traded to New York hecause Manager Huggins got tied up in a swap from which he could not get away, Huggins never has denied Shocker'’s skill, though, and if Shocker comes through and pitches the Yanks to a champlon- ship In 1925, the little Yank leader will be tickled to death, SILVER FIGHT iW FRISCO RING Winner Will Go East to!
