PELICAN MAGNATE CANNOT ABANDON
 HIS FEAR OF LINK
Fly HENRY VANCE

Ball players are the most superstitious mortals this side of the north pole, bu, it's seldom that baseball magnate falls for jinxes. hoodoos and the like. A. J Heinemann of the New Orleans club however, is an exception, and 1t is prob- ably no exaggeration to state that Heinie
 is more superstitious than any ball play CT alive.
 Boss Quack Smith of the Barons was marveling at the Pel magnate's capacity for imagination yesterday. 'I'll tell you what that bird did" said Colonel Smith. "The Barons were down there one day last summer, and I was standing with Heinie. We were down in the boxes, where the sun was beating down, and suddenly a New Orleans player booted one. A poor. little dope boy had just passed in front of Heinie and the Pel boss hopped up and shouted: Hey, you kid. You iinxed us and caused that er- TOT. The kid trembled. but A. J. showed no mercy. He called the youngster back and made him stand with uncovered head for 10 minutes in that blazing sun. Not only was 1t uncomfortable, but the days dope sales were a total loss from a profit standpoint, as the kid lost his percent. age in that 10 minutes of idleness."
 The yarn of Boss Smith called to mind tho fact that he and the Crescent City chief have been friends for number of years, but that they arc always barking at each other, The barking started when Dick Robertson was turned over to New Orleans. Through some technical ruling of the baseball board In that deal 1t was voted that Smith had violated certain rule, and that for tho violation he must pay the New Orleans club n.
 Smith has never paid the dollar, and Heinemann has never forgotten it. Every time he writes a letter or files telegram to the Baron mogul he always adds a few words reading; When you going to pay me that dollar?'
 Colonel Smith, upon sending telegram to the New Orleans club, will reply with some reference to the ill-fated iron man.
 If one should take the trouble to dig up the telegraphic tolls of each ball club, in which this dollar has been mentioned. it would be found that Heinie has spent this dollar several times over in trying to collect it. and Smith has spent our more than twice the value of one berry in kidding Heinie about the bad debt.

TO SET NEW DATE
 FOR TRIAL OF SOX

Chicago, March A new date for the trial of eight former members of the Chicago White Sox involved in the 1919 worlds series scandal; originally scheduled to begin March 14, will be set next Monday as result of move made today by the prosecution for a delay.
 Counsel for the prosecution asked that the cases be stricken from the call on the ground that additional time was required to prepare for the trial. The motion was opposed by attorneys for the defendants, who declared post ponement would prevent the indicted players from returning to the game this season.
 II finally was agreed that new date should be set Monday Judge Dever indicated that the trial would be advanced but few days.

 Rupert Hughes once wrote a book, entitled We Can't Have Ev- erything." Chattanooga fans, weary of second division clubs, changed it to We Can't Have Nothin'."
 THE DEPARTURE OF GLADYS Moley says he looked over a youngster last year who had been recommended by a baseball enthu- siast. The Kid was demon afieid but such weak hitter that he could scarcely bat his own eyes. The more Moley looked, the more disappointed he became, as the kid had been touted as a wonder. The gent who had recommended him saw Moley's look of disappoint- ment, and in his effort to boost the youngster, he said: He's got a wonderful pair of hands~'
 Moley switched his panetela to the larboard, shrugged his shoul- ders and replied with heavy tonnage of sarcasm: "So has a clock. Let's go back to town" The average pueflist finds words over two syilables as great jaw breaker as uppercuts.

 The Dallas club of the Texas league has funny way of looking at things. It decided that Cecil Coombs, former Baron who mas been playing in the Texas league for the past two seasons, would not be needed again this year, and announced that he would be re- tired.
