NORT WORTH, Tex. March 10.
- Jake Atz is busy at Fort
Worth trying to get together
i another championship team on
one of the finest minor league
Fairgrounds in the United States.
Until 1926 he had worked himself
into the habit OF winning penants in
the Texas League. and the managers
and club owners OF other Texas
League clubs were thinking of kid.
mapping Jake. a former Washington
performer. The price of his release
was to be a full confession of all de-
tails as to how he did II.
But last year Fort Worth did not
start with the usual dash. So the
other owners of the league said to
themselves, "Jake's lost his prescrip-
ton" Then suddenly Fort Worth
began to win and kept gaining until
another pennant was missed only by
the margin of a double-headery
Gould you beat it," asked Jake
THAT double thing always raises Ned
with me. In other years when they
thought they couldn't beat US any
other way they divided the season
into halves--two of them. Last year
when IL looked as II we had them
gonig and were to be the hurrah boys,
they get us with a double-header."
The big turnout at practice games
