Look For Collapse

LOOK FUE OUiAUpAS
~ 9TH Mackmen are united in
their belief that the Griffs
will collapse this season.
Well, they have others with chem.
Many experienced baseball writer's,
especially in the Middle West,
think that Bucky Harris cannot
go to the well too often.
my reason for thinking we
have an excellent chance of win-
ming our third pennant is simple
enough, according to my way Of
thinking" says Bucky Harris.
I'VE were good enough to win
from the. Yankees and the Tigers
in, 1924. We were strengthened
for 1926 and defeated the Mack
men for the pennant. We have
strengthened the team for the
coming season. What have the
others done?
"When you're on top you don't
have to experiment so much as
you do when you're merely fight
ing to get up there and every
player we have obtained for regu-
lar service in the past two years
was a known player able to take
his place in the lineup. My
gamble has merely been on
whether or not the new men could
still deliver up to standards al
ready made and known to all.
Gregg, for instance, failed to
make good, but Covey and
Ruether looked pretty sweet out
there, didn't they?
"Of course a player can't go on
forever, l know that. But / don't
think our veterans are quite ready
to collapse"
TT is a certainty, though, that
collapse must come, if not to
the Washington team as q
whole. at least to the various
veterans. The time is on the way
when Walter Johnson, Joe Judge,
Dutch Ruether, Joe Bush, Stanley
Coveleskie, Roger Peckinpaugh,
Hank SEVERED and Sam Rice,
merely to name the more aged
and decrepit of the roster, must
quit. Rommel and Cochrane are
merely banking on their collapsing
all together this season.
So far as this writer can recall,
but ope major league team COL
lapsed spectacularly during a
single campaign. In 1908, Jimmy
McAleer's ST. Louis Browns, q
wonderful collection of ancients of

curtain, they were fourth and Nc

Ell PASO, Texas, Feb. ia story
of an excited Mexican populace stirred
almost to mob violence by the suppos-
ed connection of an American with the
recent desecration of General Francis
co (Pancho) Villas grave at Parral
Mexico, was told by C7m;l Holmdahl
American soldier of fortune, following
his arrival from Parral.
Holmdahl with Alberto Corral, In

of all connection with the exhumation
and 6arapitation of the body of the

leased after 72 hours confinement in the
Parral Jail.

though the authorities treated him with

said, the Mexican residents knotted in
intense groups about the ;ail when his
arrest was noised about.
Troops were compelled at times to
charge the crowd to drive them back,
Holmdahl related, while Coral, a IL
year-old Yaqui Indian listened.
Holmdahl, who has faced firing
squad, regards the affair as his closest
call and gives most OF the credit for
his being alive to his aged companion.
He told of how Corral came out and
faced the crowd and toiG them to get q
good look and then to get the hell
out of here" This. Hoimdahl said, had
more effect on the angry throngs than
