T. LOUIS BROWNS FATE. DEPENDS ON SISIER
If HIS EYES ARE
UP TO PAR, TEAM
HAS FAIR SAILING
AS Manager and First
Baseman, Sisters
Hands Are Full
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE pen
nant chance of the st. Louis Browns
this year depends entirely upon
George Sisler. Not only the way he
handles the team as its manager,
but he way he is able to play, will
be the biggest factor.
Sisler Is going to try to play first
base again. If gameness that will
enter into the effort means any
thing, Sisler will play again, but the
most courageous heart n the. ball
field will avail nothing if there are
no eyes to watch the bali at the
plate and in the field. Sisler has
a bad pair Of eyes, the affliction
which is on eff the saddiest trag-
edics of the diamond.
If Sisler is able to play the real
Sislcr game of two years ago, the
Browns will be back in the race be-
cause of the inspiration that he
will b. able to carry to his COM
rades an dbecause of the mechanical
help he will be able to give the
tea NJ.
Ii he fails to come back, the
Browns have very little hope for
breaking into the first division.
May Play Schleibner
Sisler will lhave to play Schleibner
at first base if he has to give up the
Job again, although Schleibner was
not able to make a place as a regu-
lar with the Brooklyn Robins before
the Browns were forced to get him
out of the national league in their
emergency.
Marty McManus at Second base
and Gerber at shortstop are two
fine players but the infield is weak
at third base where Ellerbe, Ezell
or Robertson will have to be played.
The outfield is in the god hands
of Kenneth Williams, one of the
best sluggers in the game; "Doll }.
jacobson and John Tobin, one of
the best lead off men in baseball.
As long as Hank Severed is able
to keep going, the catching will be
in good hands.
Shocker, ne of the smartest pitch
ers in the game, heads the pitching
staff and there are to help him,
Van Glider, Danforth, Pruett,
Wright and couple of youngsters,
With Sisler it would be good
team; without him it is a guess.

FOOTBALL LOSS
By United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, April IL. -
Spring football training at Univer-
sity of Southern California is going
to find Coach Gus Henderson perch
ed upon the bench dolefully musing
upon what a fine field general Chet
Dolley was or reminiscing over how
Gordon Campbell used to tear off
more yardage than any other Tro-
ian backfield man has in years.
Apropos of this remembering com
plex, Henderson has realized that
five of his 1928 team will be miss
ing when the roll is called next
fall. They are Dolley, Campbell,
Ralph Cummings, Jim Purcell and
Freeman.
Loss of these men will be keenly
felt by U. S. c., in fact it is doubt
full if Henderson will be able to
replace Dolley and Campbell.
Exact date for spring practice has
not been set, but it is expected to
start as soon as Henderson gets
over his eastern trip.

Chiefly Through Her Efforts, Those
Thousand Herring Disappeared in
Double-Quick Time.

..Me and my buddy can eat thou
sand of them," was the surprising
statement of a resident of the fishing
shore section Of one of the Virginia
counties bordering on the Potomac
river when he witnessed small haul
of herring one afternoon.
"You and your buddy can eat a
thousand of 'em?" asked one Of a
party of farmers waiting to get a
load of fish to put away for winter
use.
WHO is your buddy?"
The man who had made the boast
had been heard to indulge in extrava-
CANT conversation before and the gath
cred farmers concluded they would
call what they termed his bluff.
Fifty dollars was the amount of
the wager, and the following Tuesday
was the time fixed for the eating. The
thousand fish were piled near the
steamboat landing and the man whose
buddy was to assist in the eating of
them appeared on the appointed hour.
"Just cook a hundred of EN-" he
said, "and leave the 900 uncooked
ones where they are"

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

The ready wit of Henry Erskine, at
one time lord advocate of England, has
been preserved in many laughable
stories. Mr.. Walter Jerrold in "A Book

amusing sallies. One day Erskine met
verbose friend and, perceiving that
his ankle was tied up with a silk
Handkerchief. asked what chad hap

Il short laugh and had refused to tell
him why. But he was In no mood for
faulttinding with her, and. dropping
the subject, wooed her back into an
affectionate humor with him by telling
her stories and taking her for long
ride.
Two or three evenings later, without
misgiving, he brought up the matter of
Margaret again, this time as asques-
ton comfortably disposed Of He was
glad, indeed, of something tangible to
discuss with her that night, for
tritling incident upon his return from
the office, just before dinner, had been
ranking absurdly in his mind ever
since.
Arson, on letting him in and being
asked where she was, had expressed
the correctly servile belief that she
was at the telephone A minute later
Joe had met her coming down the hall,
kissed her with his accustomed hug,
and then, merely by way of saying
something, asked her whom she'd been
telephoning TO. She'd answered, IN
stantly, 81 wasn't telephoning" adding,
moment later, ooh, it was just
wrong number"
The thing had been buzzing in his
brain ever since like a plaguey mos
quito. Why hadn't she said it was a
wrong number in the first place rather
than at the end of a palpable hesita-
ton? There must be dozen ways. of
explaining the contradiction, only he
couldn't think of one nor could he
make up his mind to ask her. 1t was
with a sense of escape from ali this
that he launched subject that could
be talked about.

that Cape Cod idea," he told her.
That's all fixed. l told Henry. yes

hint that I'd better talk it over with
Margaret, myself, so / dropped in
there tonight on the way home. The
invitations still open; any time you
want to go down there for week or
two, we're to let her know few days
ahead. But she understands it won't

Beatrice said, rather dryly, f.T sup
pose she's broken-hearted about that.
They're all perfectly friendly with
you, seems TO me-" the girl commented.
Joe said he was glad they were.
Zone thing I've learned in fifty years
is to take the best advice / can get
whenever I'm off my own beat. And
there's probably nothing Pm more igno-
