WON THREE FLAGS

In most cases it is the spirit of the
club, it's attitude toward baseball, that
is being criticized by the experts.
A good many of them seem to be
of the opinion that it's simply going
to be a joy-ride for the star athletes
of Mr.. Miller Huggins
The consensus of the experts is
largely based on the manner of train
ing used by the Yankees. This is
perhaps rather unfair, since the New
York Americans are in many respects
a rather unusual ball club.

HAGENLACHER'S GAME WILL BE

peak of professional 1872 balkline
! billiard realm with careful, me
thodical game which will not be
readily surpassed by American spurts
of brilliance, in the estimation of the
veteran referee, Charles Peterson, of
st. Louis.
A placid disposition not easily ruff
fled by unexpected breaks" at cru
cial periods of his matches adds to
the smoothness of his play, an essen
tial factor for retention of the cham
pionshtp, said Peterson, who has Of
ficiated in 269 matches without dis
pute, including the last title contest
in which Jake Schaerer was de-
throned by the German star
"Schaefer and Edouard Horemans,
of Belgium unquestionably are the
most brilliant and spectacular play
ers in he game" is Peterson's opin-
ion. But both are tdmperamental
and their remarkable long runs may
be suddenly counteracted by slumps
under unfavorable conditions.
"Schaefer and Hagenlacher were
both tested in their championship
match at Philadelphia, and it was
Hagnlacher who best survived the
conditions. In the first five hundred
point block, the German displayed
the nearest approach to perfect bill
lizards have ever seen. He never
committed a mistake-every carom
was made off the two balls for po-
sition that I do not believe could
have been improved upon.
"In the second block he was tenn
porarily thrown out of stride BY
making a foul, but he recovered suf-
ficiently to save his big advantage,
Schaefer was bothered, however, by
the balls which he claimed were
"bumpy' and this mental condition
of doubt took the edge from his
game.
Under ideal conditions, Schaefer
is the worlds greatest billiard player
at 1872 balkline. Horemans, in one
of his winning moods, ranks a close
second. But with less favorable con-
ditions, Hagenlacher is not likely to
be troubled"
Peterson, was the greatest champion
of them all for overcoming adverse
conditions. He referred to a match
which Hoppe played in Dallas, Texas,
on a table which apparently had a.
flaw in one corner.

POOLE DUE TO START FOR THE
ATHLETICS; HAUSER'S KNEE
MENDS SLOWLY.

What is the physical condition of
First Baseman Joe Hauser of the Ath-
letics?
Joe Hauser is the big question mark
of baseball. He is the player whom
the experts dwell on in discussing the
chances of the Athletics t OWN PEN
nant.
The ability of Hauser to play reg
ularly seems to be the point on which
the experts hinge the rise or fall of
Connie Mack's club.
This much is certain-Joe Hauser
will not be used regularly at first
base. Such a thing might be possi-
BILE, but Connie Mack, who looks fur
ther ahead than 1926 and who has
much thought for Hauser's career,
doesn't intend it to be that way.
I'm stead of Poole helping out Hau-
ser at first, it will probably be Hau-

Miller Huggins hns the opposite
viewpoint; he let's the player judge
for himself what is best.
HE'E AN OPT1MIsT

AS result of the difference in
temperament between the Yankee
manager and the leader of the Giants,
there is a decided contrast in the
spring training methods of the two
clubs. The Yankee style appears
rather slip-shod in comparison with
the Giants.
Perhaps that explains why many
of the experts are of the opinion
that the Yankee club isn't going any
where this season.
When 1 chatted with Miller Hug
gins it was apparent that he wasn't
pleased with the comment about the
Yankees and their spring training.
81 am perfectly satisfied with my
ball club and the way it is being
conditioned. Since I am the manager
and must suffer if the club fails, |
should be the most worried. In
stead of being a pessimist, 1 am

NEW EASTERN CONFERENCE TO

NEW YORK, April 7.-If there is
any "over- emphasis upon college
football, the group of Pennsylvania
colleges in the newly formed Eastern
Collegiate Athletic Conference is de-
termined to eliminate it.
Besides adopting a set of six ar
ticles placing restrictions on football
activities, modelled much along the
lines of the big Three" program,
the conference has taken steps to
stamp out "the evil of commercial
ISM"
Gettysburg, Muhlenberg, Franklin
and Marshall, Dickinson, and Ursinus
have accepted this program but Hav-
erford declined to join the confer
ence because it does not adopt rules
to eliminate athletic subsid1zing."
These are the articles adopted ()
There shall be no training stables;
(2) Scouting of opponents games and
scouting for future players will be
prohibited; (S) There shall be no
seasonal coaches; ca Football prac-
tice shall not begin before September
15; 90 The one-year residence rule
shall be enforced to prohibit freshu
men from playing on varsity teams;

Playing Spirit of New York Yankees
VIII Determine Clubs 1926 Set-Up
Since the Yankees started spring
training they have been the subject
of much ridicule from many of the
experts touring the southern camps.
Already the club has been con-
signed to a berth in the second di-
vision. 1t seems Boston is the only
club not given an outside chance to
beat the Yankees.
That means a lot of the wise men
Iof baseball believe the Yanks will
finish seventh.
On this point 1 beg to differ. 1t is
possible the Yankees may finish in
the second division, the club may
drop as low as seventh, but if it
does it will not be due to lack of
playing ability.
1 am of the opinion that the Yam
KEGS are going to be just as good a
club as they want to be.
In other words the spirit of the
club is going to determine where it
finishes far more than the playing
ability. t4,u
The Yankees comprise first 'li-
vision ball club if they want to be.
If they fail to take their baseball
seriously, them berth in the second
division looms ahead, because the
American league clubs appear mighty
evenly balanced.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
THE BURNT CHILD

THE BURNT CHILD
A tiger came to Danny's bed
One night extremely late
you've been a bad, bad boy,' he
said,
1.-TWO slabs of pie you ate,
And furthermore, although you knew
How dreadfully you dream,
When greedy things like that you do
You washed it down with cream. "
The tiger wl1nkled UP his nose
And barred his teeth to bite
And Danny's curly hair arose
Z Straight up in horrid fright
In vain he tried to hide beneath
A handy pillow slip,
The monsters long and shining teeth
Had got him in their grip.
And when the tiger set him free
And strode off to his den
Said Danny, Il shall never be
A greedy boy again.
I'll only eat one piece of pie
And never any cream
know that 1 would almost die
From such another dream"
But dreams, however grim, take flight
Their lessons do not last,
And therefore when next Sunday
night
The apple pie was passed,
Hot thick and flaky on the plate,
And bright, with sugary dew,
Two great big pieces Danny ate,
With cream upon them, too!
