ROWLAND DIVIDES SOX-FIRST
TEAM MAY STAND
BY Mark Shields

omorroW the White SoE 60 into
combat with alien clubs, battling
teams of the Texas league. Here is
the way Manager Rowland has divid-
ed his forces:
Team No. I for Fl. Worth-Eldred,
right field; Risberg, shOrtstop; Col
Inns, second base; Jackson, left field;
Felsch, center field; GandiI, first
base; Weaver, third base; SchaIk,
Mayer and Jenkins, catchers; Rus
sell, Scott, WOlfgang,. Lyons and
SchelenbaCh, pitchers.
Team No. 2 for Dallas - LieboId,
center field; McMullin, third base;
Haas or J. Collins, left field; Four
nier, right field; Hartford, shOrtstOp;
Hasbrook, first base; Terry, second
base; Gray and Lynn, CatcheTs; Fa-
Der, Benz, Norman and Ainsworth,
pitchers.
h Keep an eye on that first team. Cut
out that lineup and the PROBABLE
ties are you won't have to buy a
score card for the opening game.
Every indication is that the team will
be so constructed at the start of the
flag hunt.
Two new names, EIdred and Ris-
berg, appear, and these youngsters
have won their places in the face of
the keenest kind of competition. The
obstacles Eldred has overcome have
been especially large, as Eddie Muir
ply and Memo LiebOld fought him to
a finish for the right field position.
The fact that Eldred is picked with
the first team for the exhibition
games doesn't make him a sure
starter, but he will have to, fail much
in his work between now and April II !
in order to be forced on the bench.
Murphy and LieboId will undoubt-
eddy be retained, giving the team five

ability. Then Fourier and John

From now until the opening of the
season he will be given diIigent drill

For the past two years the South
Siders have been weak in bunting,
not more than two men in either sea-

game.
Kid Gleason is to handle the Sec
Ond team and ROwlands will pilot the
firsts. And that means the fellows
with the second team will have no
easy time. Gleason is q driver, but
he is also fair to his players.
He has some good pitchers with
his squad, and when they are ready
they will be graduated to the first ag-
gTegatiOn. The Kid will also give
some attention to Hartford, who is a
good infield prospect.
Pickles Dillhoefer, the young Cub
catcher, continues to belt the ball
numerically against Pacific Coast
league pitching. And pitchers out
on the coast at the present time are
no soft assignment for any batter.
The fellow who can connect with
their deliveries cOmpetentIy at the
present time should be fairly sue
cessful against the grapeviners in
the big show. The coast season opens
April and the pitchers are in good
condition. They are curving the ball
at the present time and throwing all
the shoots that will be encountered
in the National league.
In a majority of cases teams on the
coast possess two or three pitchers
who have seen successful service in
the major leagues. They are past

The POstofnce Department believes

This became known today, when it
was stated at the office Of Otto

General, that efforts had been made
to. close a contract with the owners
Of the undersea boat, and that these
efforts would be renewed when the
Deutschland anchors at an American

At Mr.. Praeger's Office tody 1t was
said that the Postoffice Department
expected the Deutschland to carry

United States mail as 1t could hold
but after an agreement had practic-
ally been reached, the commander Of
the boat said his cargo OF merchan-

prevent him from handling the mail.

said to have been that the Deutsch-

the cargo would permit.

Appeal Te washinstsa.

Comments on the recent opera pre-
miere in New York OF Francesca da
Rimini," by the Italian composer,
Riccardo Zsndonai, present two Gle
ments that contribute to give II q
personal appeal TO Washington.
These two elements are the com
parison drawn between francesca
and the Montemezzi opera "BAmore
del tire Re-" that was SO gloriously
sung here by the Boston Opera Com
pany last season; and the presence
in the cast of Nine. Frances Aida,
soprano, and also of PasQuale ANA
to, baritone both of whom we know
so well. 1t is a far-cry in actual ex-
perience to claim so little with which
to understand. but II suffices.
New York does not pronounce Fan
donals opera q success.
Herbert F. Peyser in Musical Amer
ica gives an analytical review, how
ever, that relates It broadly to the
creative opera realm. He. tells that
London called IL "the most satisfying
opera that has come out Of Italy in
considerable time" Rome and MI
Ian dispensed some flattering ,opin-
ions;" adding, I'VE know that Italy

Major Robb, anchor man of the st,
Johns quint OF the Masonic League,
now holds the center OF the duclpin
stage. This veteran bowler rolled
set OF 423 last night against osiils
and wrested District record honors
from Harry F. Krauss, OF the Royals,
awho the night before registered 400.
Robb rolled successive games OF
f1So, 142, and 151, and with only the
usual amodnt Of luck attached to such
a performance. He gave an unusually
skillful exhibition OF rolling.
ii Third Big Mark.
Robb's was the third total we'll

John L. Vaeth, of the Grand Centrals,
having started the streak OF sensa-
tfonaI performances last week when
: he toppled Al pins against Hsrley's
Stars, of Alexandria, IN 4 special
match. This mark is recorded as
one made in regular competition.
Indications are that Robb's record
will be beaten this season. Not only
have league scores been generally
high OF late, but numerous bowlers
are hitting the naples for exceptional
counts in practice. Many totals for
three consecutive games beating 423
have been made recently, and it is be-
