Samuel +. Crawford, the Tigers
smuggling right fielder, does not seem
to be at all worried over the prospect
of spending his summer picketng the
ball park, or bouncing his trusty ash
off the skulls of strike breakers.
Wahoo Sam always has been al
lied with the conservative, steady Gle
ment of base ball, and even though
President David L. Fultz of the
Base Ball Players fraternity calls out
the athletes on strike, the big fellow
will look before he leaps. incidentally
Sam is one of the vice presidents OF
the organization that is threatening
to make trouble because all the minor
leaguers can't have lower berths or
something like that.
Vice President Crawford was asked
Saturday whether he would lay down
his bat and glove when the order
came to jump the reservation. He
said that he didn't know whether he
would or not. He admitted that he
did not have very clear idea of the
issues involved in the controversy be-
tween his fraternity and the govern
ing bodies of organized base ball and
that he wouldn't do anything rash
until he got posted on them.
"The argument is something about
the failure of the minor league clubs
to pay travelling expenses to players
who report at the spring training
camps" said Sam. There are some
other things, too, but don't know
just what"
Will Not Commit Himself.
He was asked whether he felt
strongly enough about the wrongs of

PENN RELAY MEET
TO BREAK RECORD
Promises to Be Even Bigger
and Better This Year
Than Last.
BERRY is AGAIN ENTERED

The University of Pennsylvania
twenty-third annual relay race car
nival, to be held on Franklin Field on
the last Friday and Saturday of April,
promises this year to be even bigger
and better than ever. The invitations
have just been sent out to the COL
leges, many of which already have
these great games on their schedules.
Pennsylvania famous races are ev-
,erywhere regarded as the greatest set
of sports held annually in the world.
No other set either of scholastic or
collegiate sports compares with them.
Last year Pennsylvania made new
worlds record for the spring medley
relay championship, while Yale and
Cornell equaled the worlds records
in the two-mile and the four-mile re-
lay, respectively As Yale and Cor
nell ran on a track measured twelve
inches from the pole, while the old
records were made on a track meas
ured eighteen inches out, both Yale
and Cornell actually ran faster than
the teams that hold the records with
them. Simpson Of Missouri made
new worlds record of fifteen seconds
on grass in the high hurdles. Oler
of Yale and Richards of Cornell tied
in the high jump at six feet three
inches. Mucks of Wisconsin put the
shot forty-eight feet one and half
inches. All Of the other events were
up to a very high standard, while the
times for the college and school class
relay races were faster than ever be-
fore in the history of the games.
Native Sons Enter.
Everything points to wonderful
meet on April q and %. The Uni
versity of Southern California has
already sent word that it will be
represented, while more western insti-
tutions than ever before will be on
hand. Harvard has another fast one
mile relay team, while many other COL
leges are getting their men in shape,
hoping to carry off one or other Of
the relay classics of the year. Berry,
PENIS great all around athlete, will
again be in the pentathlon event with
several other aspirants for all-around
honors.

Tennis Heads Will
Encourage Play in
The Doubles Ranks

Competition in doubles in tennis is
to be encouraged the coming season,
according to Ralph Holterhoff of
Cincinnati, a member of the executive
committee of the United States Lawn
Tennis association.
The executive committee will
recommend to the national meeting
in New York, February 9, that an
open tournament for the national
championship be held in the fall
along the same lines as the singles
championship" Mr.. Holterhoff said.
while the committee went on rec
ord as opposed to the present doubles
system, it does not want the doubles
abandoned.
The committee also will recon
mend a rule that the champions OF
the previous season play through the
tournament The present rue requr-
ing at least one member Of team
playing in sectional doubles to be a
resident Of that section, probably will
be abolished"

Bellevue Reserve
Five Is Likely to
Burns Up New Loop

Despite predictions Of dopesters to
the contrary, the Bellevue College
Reserve team seems likely to burn
up the newly-formed 1nter-City
league. Wednesday evening the col
legians defeated the University OF
Omaha Reserves, by the score OF 4
to 4. Thursday evening they ran up
score Of 43 to against the Coun-
Gil Bluffs High School Reserves
thereby making total OF eighty-four
points in two games against their
opponents seven.
The real test of the Bellevue team
will come, of course, when it meets
teams like Creighton High and
Omaha Central High Reserves. That
Creighton High is to be reckoned
with was demonstrated by the victory
over the School for the Deaf Tuesday
evening.
Lester Stewart, junior, is captain
OF the Bellevue Reserves. Perry
Johns is another star Jim Daugh-
erty, playing at guard, made twelve
baskets in the two games last week.
Harold Shaimholtz, Of South High
fame, made ten. George Primrose,
elongated center, scored five goals
Thursday evening. Coach BENJAMIN
predicts that after another weeks
practice the Reserves will be more
than a match for the varsity five.
The Reserves have two games this
week. They play the Deaf Institute
at the Institute gym Tuesday even
ing and South High Reserves al
South High Wednesday evening.
The Bellevue college varsity has
two games booked for this week. The
team will make two-day trip at the
weekend. playing Cotncr at Bethany
Friday evening and Doane at Crete
Saturday evening. Benjamin has been
giving the varsity a good deal of fast
practice and expects his squad to
make a good showing against the
state teams.

OMAHA COPPERS TO
PULLDENYER TEAM
Sergeant Samuelson to Pilot
Strong Men West for Clash
Next Saturday Night,
LOOKS FOR EASY VICTORY

Sergeant Samuelsons trained
troupe of massive. monstrous and
mammoth mastadons will invade the
mile high and also arid city of Dem
yer this coming Saturday.
The sergeant's trained troupe, be
it known, is the Omaha police de-
partment tug-of-war team. Samuelson
is the captain. Charlie Van Dusen is
the manager.
The Omaha coppcrs are booked to
clash with the holdup chasers Of Den
yer in finish pull for the champion
ship of Omaha, Denver, Stockholm
and Dublin. The event is to be the
feature of stock show week in the
Colorado capitol and, according to re-
ports received from the place by Van
Dusen, the town is almost as agog
with enthusiasm--to use an old
bromide-as it used to be in the good
old days before the joy juice was
banished from the state.
Samuelson insists that his trained
troupe composes the greatest tug-of-
war team in the world. He declares
his proteges are the last word in
Juggling. He will even confess they
are better tuggers than burglar nip
pers, booster catchers. yegg grabbers
or vag pinchers, all of which is some
confession and shows that Samuel
son has lot of confidence in his
men.
Van Dusen is equally as generous
in his praise. Van gets as eloquent as
Daniel Webster, Henry Clay and
Abraham Lincoln rolled into one
when reciting the wondrous feats Of
achievement of these sturdy and stall
wart coppers.
Predict Easy Victory.
The Denver tug-of-war team has
not lost a match this year. They
have pulled every thing in sight i'll
the Rocky mountain country. But
the Omaha strongmen refuse to be
intimidated or discouraged by these
reports; they insist the Denver gang
will look like deuce spot after about
FIVE minutes Of pulling. Samuelson
says his men will yank the Denver
ties clear out of the state and Van
Dusen's only fear is that the rope
will break first.
The pull was scheduled about six
weeks ago. The Omaha coppers have
been reigiously saving up their
nickels and dimes and they are look
ing forward to their return to Omaha
with half the wealth of Denver in
their jeans.
The beat-pounders who will make
the trip to Denver are Sergeant Sam
uelson, Charley Van Dusen, John
Graham, Charlie Jensen, Morris An
derson, Robert Hitler, Frank Nc
Cabe, Pete Jolly and Ole Knutson.

Jennings Says Morey
Will Make Good Jumps

Hugh Jennings has joined with
Billy Evans, the umpire, and other
base ball notables in predicting that
George Morarity will make good as
an umpire in the American league.
Jennings points out that four OF the
chief qualities of an umpire are fear
lessness, keen eyesight, good judg-
ment and ability to cover ground.
These, he claims, are the very quail
ties which helped Morarity to make
good in the American league. Mori-
arity, they say, never was star as
an inhelder, but his nerve, his brain
and his base running enabled him
to hold his job even when he was
not in the best of health.

Memo Leibold to
Be Given Chance
Of Gaining Berth

Memo Leibold who went to the
Chicago White Sox two years ago
from Cleveland, is being touted as
the Sox regular righthelder for next
season.
Claim is made that Shane Collins
is slipping, and that Eddie Murphy is
a wretched fielder.
Manager Rowland is authority for
the statement that Liebold never has
been given the chance his past per-
formances would warrant, but that
considerable attention would be paid
to the little fellow next spring.

Have Reqained Full Power

Vic Safer, first baseman of the Chi
cago Nationals, whose sight was
thought to be failing him, has assured
President Weeghman of the Chicago
club that his eyes have regained their
normal strength after a winters rest.
Safer is movie fan and the theory
was that he had damaged his eyes
watching the Pickering light on the
screen and sitting Up late reading.
He avoided any strain whatever dur
ing the winter months and now be-
licvcs he is as good as ever.

A leather medal for Kid Williams,

alibi is an innovation, we have never

referee was wrong. 1t is refreshing

There is one demand made by the
base ball players we fail to compre-
bend, or at least we fail to gather
the reason or justice in it. That is the
demand that the club owner pay the
players expenses from his home to
the training camp. If you lived in
Omaha and were offered job by a
Chicago firm, would that firm pay
your expenses to the Windy City?
Nit. Then why, pray, should Pa
Rourke, for instance, pay the expenses
of Harry Krause, for instance, from
San Francisco to Omaha' The mag
mates have always done this little
thing, but we never could quite un-
derstand why they have.
