Washburn college reconvened yes
terday. as far as the classes were con-
cerned-but in an athletic way, the
Tchabod institution began today.
Coach Dwight r Ream and his
basketeers have hard schedule fac
ing them in a basketball way. Ream
called his players out for hard prac-
tice this afternoon.
The first game played by the lena
bods this season in the conference is
on January IA, with ottawa at Wash
burn gymnasium. Two days later,
on January 16, the Ichabods play c.
of E at Topeka, and on January is,
tourney to Baker university to meet
Coach Linton's orangemen.
A rest until January % follows the
Baker game. The Ichabods play St
Marys at Topeka on that date.
On January 6. Friday, Coach Ream
takes his first string to Atchison for
a game with st. Benedlcts college.
The latter school is not a member of
the conference, and the result of this
game will not alter conference stand
ings.
out of the huge bunch of second
string rnen, Ream will send a squad
to st. Joe. Mo-, also on the evening
of January 6. for a game with St Joe
Junior college.
Six letter men are back in school
for this years race. They are Cap
tain Arthur Erickson. Marvin Stew
ems, Charles Kennedy, Ted Blevins,
Arthur Brewster, and De Loss Errick-
son.
Thirty-six men are trying out for
the squad, and Ream had divided
them into four squads
OF the yearlings, Siedel, Jeeters and
Fry are doing the outstanding work.
Clarence Poort, who was showing
good form before the Christmas holi-
days, was the victim OF a serious case
of ptomaine poisoning, and has been
unable to report for practice as yet.
Fry a lengthy lad. is making good
progress toward filling the shoes OF
Poort, last years center.
Practices are being held on Monday
and Wednesday nights and in the aft
ernoons of Tuesday, Thursday and
Friday.
1.-THE boys are going to have to
work" Ream said today. We've nc
time for fooling. Other teams in the
conference have more letter men back
than Washburn, and we're going tc

with them. Practices must necessarily

Declares Only Figure That

"As you waggle, so you swing"
says George Duncan. The waggle.

.'REB' RUSSELL
WRECKS THEORY
Of COMING BACK
Discarded by Majors, a Failure
In Minors, Dreyfus Offers
$4,000 for Him.

CHICAGO, May 13.-They never
come back-every baseball follower
has heard that phrase from the time
he first peeked through knot hole
in ball park fence-but there are
exceptions to the old adage. and
'Reb" Russell, of the Minneapolis
American Association team, may
prove the most notable by coming
back to the majors after not only
having been discarded by the big
leagues, but once apparently failing
even In the minors.
Not only that, but IL "Reb" does
prove to be one Of the rare excep.
tions, he will be the highest priced
and the most unusual comeback in
baseball. PittsburR is reported 10
have offered $4,000 for this player,
who was discarded after a long
period as star pitcher for the
Chicago White Sox. but IL is he.
cause ''Reb" is slugging out.
fielder and not because OF any re.
covered pitching cunning that the
Pirates are said to be willing to in.
vest this sum.
Russell, a big left.hander. with
speed almost as great as Walter
from a little town in Texas more
than decade ago. He pitched great
ball for, years, helping the Sox win
the pennant in 1917. Then his arm
went bad. The next season he was
valueless. In the spring of 1919
"Reb" was shipped to Minneapolis
and the wiseacres shook their heads
and opined that Russell was
through.
They were partly right. "Reh"
pitched in only one game for Mime
apolis in 1919. winning It, but prov
ing conClusively that he was through
AS a pitcher.
The big southpaw went to the
teams manager.
Put me in the outfield," he said
81 can hit and ] can field pietty
good. l can't pitch, but I'm no, ont
of the game yet"
Russells request was granted. He
began slugging the bail, acquiring a
reputation as long distance hitter,
although not amassing big aver
age. He hit for .267 that year. In
1920 he was second I'm the league
among players In seventy-five or
more games, batting for an average
OF .sS9, his 101 hits totaling l57
bases. There was no question now
that "Reb" had made good as an
outfielder, but the husky Texln was
not satisfied. He wanted to be a
star again.
In 1921 "Reb" came into his own
as an outfielder. He again ranked
second among the hitters with 56S
average and poled thirty.three home
runs. SO. while a schoolboy prob
ably could hit "Reb" as pitcher,
the best hurlers in the league can't
stop him as a hitter, and that why
the majors talk about wanting him
again.

Time For Gibbons
To Find Landing
Place

Tom Gibbons once more is hop
scotching around the country,
fighting in the tank towns for
small purses. Gibbons probably
would be a great deal better off
if he would make his headquar-
ters in New York, where he could
pull down some real purses.
Despite his defeat by Harry Greb
he is still a good heavyweight, as
heavyweights go these days.
There is plenty of work for him
in New York, but for some reason
he would rather keep away from
the big town. Like several other
boxers Gibbons thinks that New
York is unlucky for him. The
real reason for his nonsuccess
here is that he is so anxious to
make good in the city, where
success counts for most. The
strain is too much for him.

TWOM|TCHELLS
LIKELY To GET
|NTOL|MEL|GH7
Pinky May Get Crack at Light
weight and Richie at WeIter-
weight Titles.

The Mitchells-Richie and "Pinky''
are very likely TO get into the
championship circle again the com.
ing summer. Richie has had a
couple OF chances at the lightweight
crown. worn by Benny Leonard,
and "Pinky" has gone against
Champion Jack Britton as a welter'
weight. Just now 1t looks as though
"Pinky" will get a crack at the
lightweight crown and Richie tn"
welterweight title, just reversing
their former trials.
Chicago promoters. through Floyd
Fitzsimmons of Benton Harbor,
Mich. are erecting big arena at
Michigan City. Ind, capable of seat
ing at least 10000 psople, for the
purpose of holding Leonard
match on July 4 and a Dempsey
contest on Labor Day.
Charley White was mentioned as
the probable opponent of Benny
Leonard. but after getting together
the promoters thought "Pinky''
Mitchell would he the better card of
the two. Rocky" Kansas Of Buffalo
was also T1e1tlOHtu, Uut ne 100 was
not considered as big card as
"Pinky."
When Leonard and "Pinky" were
matched by the Cream City A. G.
Of Milwaukee for January last.
the house was sold out before the
dav of the proposed contest. That
alone was evidence enough for the
Michigan City promoters that the
Mitchell end of the match would
draw over 100000 from around Mil.
waukee. which is pretty good
start for show OF that kind
Billy Gibson. manager of the
champion. was quick to see that
angle of the match and therefore
preferred the one who would draw
the most money into the box office.
Benny will get the big end OF the
money. which is only natural. but
Billy Mitchell asked that in return
the champion make tn" correct
poundage OF 135 at 3 o'clock.
The house will easily go over the
500. 900 mark, probably 100000,
which means that Mitchell will
draw down about $4,000 for his
end and Leonard anywhere from
$40 600 to S65.000
Richie is booked for meeting
with Jimmy Hanlon at the new
Dvckman Oval in, the Bronx about
MAY 90 and II successful might get
chance at Champion Britton later
on. Just now IL looks like big
sun.mer for the Mitchells.

ST. LOUIS, May 13.-John A..
Heydler, president of the National
League, is in favor of changing

fairness to be shown pitchers in

President Heydler said he thought
1t advisable to amend the scoring
rules so that pitcher could he

Shimidzu and Kashio, small men,
