NOTRE DAME LOSES
TO "GOAT'S" STARS
Irish Unable to Get Started

BY V. ENGELS

Goat Andersons "All Leaguers"
proved too crafty for the Notre Dame
team which Coach Halas used yes
terday afternoon. and won an inter-
esting game of baseball. 80. AL
most half the members Of the Notre
Dame baseball squad were allowed to
participate. Falvey, Steinle and Ma
geveny doing the pitching 1t was
by far the best exhibition game that
has been played on Cartier Field
this year, and nearly 500 spectat tors
crowded along the sides Of the dia-
mond.
The ground was in good condition.
Early Saturday afternoon Halas or
dered on a broom" brigade. and
the diamond was thoroughly swept
OF slush. 1t dried quickly. and by
yesterday noon was in good con-
dition
Notre Dame seemed unable to get
started, but nevertheless, the collie
gians displayed a fair brand Of base
bail, in view of the Fact that they
had been cOoped up in the gymna-
STUN all week. Their best chance to
score came in the ninth inning
when two men were on the bases
with none out, but neither Bliever-
NIGHT nor the men who followed him
could come through with the pinch
hit.
Within 10 days Coach Halas must
cut his squad to the 10 men whom
he Will take along on the training
trip through Kentucky. It will be
the first time in years that a Notre
Dame team has taken such a trip,
but athletic authorities at the school
believe that il will be more than
worth while At the opening of each
baseball season, Notre Dame was
for Ced to meet teams that had been
on an extensive training
trip. The handicap was a heavy ote
and the Irish found themselves uA-
able to get started until the season
was well under way. This year,
nov, ever. Coach Halas intends TO
have his men in prime shape when
the season opens, and thus get an
even break with the teams of larger
schools.

MACK UNCOVERS
SPRING PHENOM
Johnny Berger, a Youthful
Catcher, Is Latest Star
of McGillacuddy.
Where does he get them?

That is the old refrain every time
Connie Mack springs some new
phenom.
Connie is positive he has another
star in Johnny Berger. The young
ster is a catcher.
No one in American league circles
ever heard of Johnny Berger. Yet
Mack has already gone on record as
stating that Berger was his second
string catcher.
That means he gets the preference
over Johnny walker, who has been
with the Athletics a couple Of sea-
sons. Last year Walker played first
base almost entirely.
Here is the story OF how Mack
picked up Johnny Berger. who he
says he is certain to develop into
just as good a catcher as Cy Per
kins.
Last year the Athletics trained at
Lake Charles, La. That is the home
Of Berger. During the training
period Berger assisted the other
catchers IN working out the pitch
ers. He played with Lake Charles
last season.
Mack invited him to Eagle Pass to
again help him. He soon found Ber-
ser a much improved youth. When
you get a young catcher who does
not fight the ball he bears watching.
The first real surprise came in
game between the yanigans and
regulars when Berger caught Roy
Moore. left handler, whose service
is the hardest 10 handle OF any
pitcher on the staff.
Berger caught Moore as If he
handled him all his life and Mack
took him aside and signed him 10
contract. He then told the news
paper men that Berger was real
find and would catch all games
when Perkins wasn't behind the bat.
Berger Is a fine thrower and a
hard hitter Mack is positive he Will
hit major league pitching. He is
cool behind the bat and seems 10
handle any kind OF pitching without
any great effort.

Blase northerners. used 10 about
every sensation in the sport world,
have found q new thrill in watching
long, 1.-THE, swift greyhounds racing
just like horses do.
The opening Of the track Of the
Miami Kennel club drew crowd Of
more than 5000, and they liked it..
New York sportsmen. who have
seen the races here, are seeking a
track for that state and next year it
IS the intention OF the men who
built the local track TO fulfill their
request Havana, also. has bid for
one. They hope, in the course of a
few seasons, to establish a circuit
through the east.
The common question is, how do
they make the dogs run without live
rabbits. O. p. Smith, one OF the
promoters, solved this question and
made possible the sport by the in
vention of a device TO carry me
chanical rabbit.
on the outer rim Of the track is
miniature electric trolley from
which a long arm extends and on
the end of this arm is a stuffed rab-
bit. This trolley Is controlled by a
man in a tower.
In all. there are about 200 dogs
now racing at the Miami track. The
track is much like a horse racing
track. having its grandstand, pad
docks. and is . quarter-mile track.
Before each race the six dogs
entered in it are displayed in the
paddock. Then they are led to the
track. where p cages await them at

OF GRIDIRON GAME
Noted West Point Coach Saws
Virtues Far Surpass
the Few Evils.
What is the matter with football

What IS the matter with football?
Princeton. Harvard and Yale are
all excited about that question.
The university dailies seem 10 think
the game IS going 10 the bow-wOws.
From our point of view the entire
discussion is without rhyme or rea-
son. As a matter Of fact entirely
uncalled for.
There isn't thing wrong with
football. II is a great game. The
modern article is fast and snappy,
rerlete with action. The ball is in
the air much Of the time. 1t is easy
TO follow the play. Sport enthusi-
asts like It.
The big game, with from $4,000 TO
so, 600 in attendance. are magnificent
spectacles. No matter how many
you have seen there is always a
thrill
Football must be all right, a pref
~ good game. or the lovers of the
gr!diron sport wouldn't patronize 1t
as they do.
When any sport so progresses that
so, 600 people are enough interested
10 stand or sit at a football game
through two hours of drilling rain,
as is often the case, it must be
worthwhile sport.
II every big enterprise. and foot
ball has reached such proportions,
certain evils are bound to creep into
the administration OF the game from
the playing as well as business angle.
Game Is The Thing.
Certain individuals err. and the ac-
ton OF these individuals reflect on
the sport. Football and baseball only
recently have passed through such
a period.
However, the game is far greater
than the individual. The recovery
OF baseball over night after the
White Sox scandal. proved the public
had faith in the game. even if a few
players proved false to its traditions.
Major DAILY. present coach of the
West Point football team, Is a Har-
ward man. Few greater players have
ever represented the Crimson on the
gridiron. His career as a coach has
been equally successful. No one i'm
the football world has a higher
standing than Major DAILY.
What is the matter with football
was the question 1 recently put TO
him.
Absolutely nothing" he replied,
it's the greatest game of them all.
Evils Are Mighty Few.
"The trouble is that a few people
insist on pointing out the evils OF
football rather than eXtolling its
many virtues.
"A lot of these college presidents,
who know little or nothing about the
game, would make better Roadway If
they remained in the proper sphere.
There is more wrong with the
colleges as an institution that foot
ball sport.
Let some of these fellows who are
cr!ticizing football pay a little more
attention TO the cinch elective
courses. and other faults in the edu-
cational system, and the colleges Will
make for better men.
"A majority of college students
have too much time. Give the boys
mere TO do, keep them buster. More
evil comes from snap courses than
football 1 speak from experience"
Football is alright. 1t doesn't re-
quire any major operation as some
would insist.
