FIRST SACKERS IN BIG LEAGUES HARD TO FIND---FARRELL|
Only One First Baseman in MiIIlon-DoIIar Crop
 of 1922
By HENRY L. FARRELL

NEW YORK, March 9.-(Special Dispatch to Birmingham Age-Her- sld.)-In the million dollar shipment of young ball players to get trial in the major leagues this season Is only one first baseman, and he Is hy- phenated.
 Jack Bentley, the s65,ooO beauty the Giants secured from the Baltimore Orioles. is first baseman, but he Is more of pitcher. and McGraw hard ly will take George Kelly off first base to use Bentley. Since Lu' Blue came up with the De- troit Tigers and. developed into one of the best first basemen in the game, the crop of good initial sackmen has been so poor that Doc Johnston held on for several years in fast company and the Doc was long overdue.
 Connie Mack picked up Hauser, a youngster who fielded .9S6 and bat ted over 1900 last season, but Mack apparently isn't satisfied with him. as he said recently he would use .Stuffy McInnis if he could get him. Hnrd To Figure.
 The case of Mc1nnis. by the way, is hard to figure. Three or four clubs could use him well, as regardless of
 
 of years of good baseball in him. but all the majors passed him when Cleveland asked for waivers.
 In place of Stuffy, the Indians will try Brower young outfielder from the International league and Guisto, q big fellow who has been warming the bench.
 Jim Bottomley Card first base man, is the first good one to come up for several years in the National league, and he isn't sensation. The 1seds are going along with Jake Daubert, one of the oldest players in the league, who insists, however, upon acting like one of the youngest. Brooklyn is so badly in need of a good guardian at the initial corner that Squire Ebbets grabbed onto Jack Fournier when the Cards decided to get rid of him.

"MINNIE" IS LISTER
AS EXCEPTIONAL PICTURE

Another picture of exceptional
entertainment value is coming to the
Rylander theater Saturday. 1t is
Marshall Neilan's latest production,
Minnie" released by Associated.
First National. In this picture Neil
an has featured the beautiful Lee
atrice Joy and popular Matt Moore
and has backed them with a cast that
fit nicely into his story of happen
ings in a small town hotel.
Minnie's father owns the hotel,
but he is more interest in a radio
invention that will give off power
to run trucks, water pumps, and
other necessities that require mOtiva-
ton. So Minnie becomes the drugde.
In taking this role Miss JOY has to
cover up her beauty, has to dab her
face with grease paint and powder
and let her pretty black hair hang
loose. She wears mole, too. But
she's funny. She does the oldest
things in her anger against the peo-
pie who are constantly sneering at
her LONELINESS.
For the first time in his screen ca
reer Matt Moore steps out of
straight" roles to do a character
part. He's the inquisitive but for
getful reporter. And he's full of
/ fine humor, too. Those who see the
/ picture at the Rylander will agree
! that Matt Moore was never more de-
lightful.
1 In the east also are George Bar
mum, JoseDhine Crowell, Helen
Lynch, Raymond, Griffith, as a chew
in& gum salesman; Richard Wayne,
Tom Wilson and George Dromgold,
! that give the picture it's many laughs
and side splitting humor.
