.SOLONS SURE
TO GET FANS
Johnson And Altrock Add to
Box Office Pulling Pow
er of Club

TAMPA, Fla, March 8.-tP-The
Washington Senators may not wiz
the American league pennant but
they're sure to be a great drawing
card.
The reason is that Walter John
son is back with the Senators and
that Nick Altrock, baseballs favo-
rite clown, is starting off in mid-sea-
son form.
These two celebrities of the ma
tional pastime have been fixtures
with the Washingtons fans, as well
as with fans throughout the cir
cult, for the greater part Of the last
20 years.
The Big Train was with the SEN
ators for 81 years until last season
He was released then to manage
the Newark club of the Interna-
tional league. He is back this year
as manager of the club for which
he pitched more than two decades
In the old days Nick and Walter
took their regular turn on the
mound for, believe it or not, Nick
was once a player who took his game
seriously. That was twenty years
ago. Nick was off and on with
Washington from 1909 to 1919. Dur
ing that time he was classed as a
pitcher.
He served as a Senator hurler
during 1909, 1912, 1913, 1918 and
1919. Since then the funny one
has drawn his pay as a coach, but
his main business has been to en-
terrain the fans and, of course, keer
his teammates in good spirits.
They're a great combination, are
the Big Train and Nick, and il
there's anything in hard work they'll
have the Senators in the pennant
race, fro mthe start.

INDIANS HAVE
THEIR BABE
Florida Takes Interest In
Poke.thi-kee, Redman's
Baseball

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March
8.-(Pj-Babe Ruth may know all
about knocking home runs over ma
ior league grandstands, but four
husky redskins of the Seminole
tribe near here can show him a
think or two in the art of clouting
in Poke-thi-kee, the Indian ball
game.
Just as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig,
Rogers Hornsby and Jim Bottom
ley are favorites in Americas ma
tional pastime, SO are the Ho-tha-
ma-tee, Nae-ha-Suk-kee, Fo-the-
ma-thee and So-nuk-ha-tee the
idols of their fellow tribesmen in
the Indian game. They claim the
championship of their clan.
Poke-thi-kee is played in a SIM
liar manner to to lacrosse. To the
casual observer it combines many
Of the rough and tumble features
of basketball and at times is ludi-
crous, in view Of the fact that the
teams generally are composed of
four men and four women. The
men are not allowed to touch the
women with their hands during the
game, while the women may get
as rough as they please when the
contest is close and exciting.
The players S small racquets
made of hickory, with woven buck
skin, while the ball used is made
Of deer hide stuffed with deer hair.
In the past the game has been more
or less universal with American In
dams of all tribes. Since part Of
the Seminole tribe left its wigwams
and hunting grounds to establish a
settlement near here they have
brought the sport to the front again
and are building up a great follow
ing of interested spectators from
this winter resort.

DALLAS, Tex, March 8.-(PE
This is the story of a team that
couldn't lose for winning. 1t is
different.
In the opening round Of the
A. A. U. woman's basketball tour
nament here this week, two Of the
weaker teams, Hollands Magazine
Of Dallas and Mesquite high
school, were paired against each
other.
Both teams, unknown to the
other, had decided to get elini-
mated in their opening fray.
Whereas they were outclasses in
the championship flight, they fig
ured they might have a chance to
survive the consultations. Both
sextets decided they would pre-
tend to do their best, only to have
no luck hitting the basket.
To make thinks look aboveboard,

action per round than expected"
There is a chance to match these
two heaVies, if some OF the pro-
motors Of the Valley care to do SO.
Of course, it is agreed that the
fight between Leech and HinojoSa
in Fort Brown several weeks ago
wasn't much OF a fight; they might
put on a hum-dinger the next
time. Jack Payne is the manager
Of Leech, and he also has frankie
Cline, another heavy, training him.
Cline is remembered as the big
boy who was introduced from the
ring on the last card at the Fort.
Payne wakes hot on the ability Of
Cline, and says, oh, boy, what a
surprise is in store when he starts
Billy Podraza, 1876 pounds of
Houston, will be one Of the fight
ers on the next card at Mercedes.
His opponent hasn't been select

either Brooks Hooper or Carlos

Last weeks Sporting News had
this spicy poem:
The leagues are full Of p~loughboys,
With heavy, p%onderous feet;
With appetites for everything,
From soup to nuts to meat.
With broad and heavy shoulders,
With rifle-shooJIng arms;
Where do they get such plowboys?
They como from the big league
farms.
Names certainly belle a person,
Take for instance Tom Connolly,
veteran San Antonio second base
man; they call him Cowboy" He
looks like he might have been used
to the wild and woolly west" but
he isn't. Connolly was raised in
one of the larger cities of the east,
1t is doubtful if he ever rode a horse
in his life and, with exception OF
the years he has spent in the Texas
league, (since 1929 he hadn't had
the opportunity prior to that time
to see as much natural domain OF
natures gift to man.

in three points. Then they eased
up and waited for the Mesquite
lassies to begin scoring. But they
waited in vain. The Mesquite for
wards apparently couldn't locate
the hoop.
1t suddenly dawned on the Eol-
lands girls that there had been
some dark scheming. Then the
Hollands guards began tossing
the ball through the goal they
were defending" and the Mes
quite guards opened a similar Of
fensive against their opponents
hoop.
1t ended with Hollands leading,
II to 8. through no fault Of it's
own. Fourteen Of the winners
points were scored by the losers,
and all the losers points were
scored by the A. Harris team Of
Dallas, 10 to g. in the first round
of the consultations.

this success at the place to the fact
that he was right on edge when the

PORTS FORUM
- By Bishop Clements

The cream of Texas high school
basketball talent, is gathered at A.
& M. College, in quints, representing
fourteen high schools of the state,
champs in the districts. Tourna-
ment play started today, which will
end tomorrow, and to the victors
will go the state title.
The state basketball tournament,
started in 1921 by the Interscholas-
tic league, has been growing in
popular esteem each year. Unlike
football clubs, such as the Waco out
fit, who for years were perennial
winners, basketball mantles have
fallen on different quintS each year
except 1923 and 1924, when the Oak
Cliff high of Dallas, captured the
crown in those years.
Here is a list of the winners for
the eight years the annual touTna-
ment has been held:
1921-El Paso high school.
1922-Lindale high school.
1923-24-Oak Cliff high school.
1925-Beaumont high school.
Notwithstanding high cshool
(San Antonio).
1927-Athens high school.
1923-Austin high school.
Upstate sports writer's have
picked Athens to capture the flag
this year, and they may do that
very thing. But they won't with
our consent, because we are pull
ing our left hind leg for that gall
liant gufnt of McAIlen to come
through to victory. Coach Dykes
Bulldogs tangle with Denton this
afternoon in the first game.

Way up in the northern part of
the state, on the Oklahoma boun-
Diary line, lies Sherman. Texas. A
good baseball town. Going to en-
ter professional ball this year for
the first time since 1923. There is
or was some kind Of law prohibit
ing baseball parks being built with
in the city limits. So the baseball
enthusiasts got together, appeared
before the city dads, explained to
them in unmistakable terms the
benefits of a ball team, and that in
order for it to be a success, a park
inside the city limits must be had
Those city fathers of Sherman are
not dumb. They not only granted
the request, but promised support.
Mission citizens are scheduled
to meet this afternoon in called
meeting to decide upon whether
their town is to enter the Valley
baseball league or not. Bob Wells
Of Brownsville, Is to meet with
the grapefruit citizens. Mission
has a ball park, and we are told
uniforms; they will undoubtedly
be at least expense than any city
in the league.
Ralph Leech, the big tall boy who
put on a 10-round boxing go with
Roberto Hinojosa, several weeks ago
at Fort Brown, is DESTROYS of a re-
turn match. He has a manager,
and is in excellent shape, say re-
ports from WeSlaco, his home town.
Leech is also remembered as the
star football player Of the Panthers
of that high school, and later Of
Edinburg Junior college. His man
ager. Jack Payne, writes us as fol-
lows:
ION behalf of Ralph Leech I wish
to issue through your columns a
challenge to Roberto Hinojosa to
box any number of rounds, any
division of purse, and any club in
the Valley desiring the match.
Think we should have had the
nod the last time but a draw was
the verdict so we want an oppor-
tunity to prove who is the better

WINTER HAVEN, Fla, March 8.
-P)-Supporters Of the Philadel-
phia Nationals hope and believe
they have lost the jewel OF consist
ency since the last season ended.
The Phillies have consistently I'M
ished last in the National league
race Of late and any change must
be for the better.
Early signs ct the training camp
indicate that Burt Shotton, now a
| sophomore manager, at least has a
chance to push his team out OF the
cellar.
A large question mark remains
after the pitchers names but the
rest of the lineup has been so I'M
proved that even if the pitching IS
no better han 1t was in 1928 it will
show more results.
The most encouraging develop
ment is in the infield. Tommy
ThevenoW seems certain to play
great bail at saortstop. The star
OF the 1926 world series has recOg-
cred from q broken leg.
Whitney Shines

Whitney third, and Don Hurst,
first, are well On the road that leads
, to baseball glory. The 1923 season
marked the first year in fast COM
pany for Whitney and Hurst and
their manager believes that the ex-
perience gained under fire will show
dividends this year. Whitney hit
800 in his first chance and Thomp-
son and Hurst were not far away.
Homer Peel, who came from st.
Louis by way Of Houston, Texas,
apparently could not be denied a
place in the outfield. Chuck Klein,
promoted from Fort Wayne late in
the season finished SO sensationally
ne viii be given a chance to repeat.
Lefty O'Doul, former Giant and
Dennis Southern may divide OUT
field assignments. The veteran Cy
Williams will be held In reserve.
New TWirlers
Virgil Davis and Walter Lerian
at "a and &c years Of age, take rank
with the great young catchers Of
the game and will share the receiv-
ing burden. A pair OF Georges,
Susce and Shef1ott seek the other
catching place.
In additio ut othe pitchers brought
over from the 1928 season, three
new ones appear to have pla-
ces on the staff. Jack Milligan,
back from Syracuse, Is a left hand
err Of promise. Luther Roy, late of
Birmingham and with previous ma
jor league trials, and Phil Collins,
up from New Orleans, where he
pitched in 49 games, will be given
extended observation. Holdovers in
clude Ed Baecht, Ray Benge, Alex
