THIS hero stuff's the bunk.

THIS hero Stuff's the bunk.
That doleful moan has been
sounded many a time. but repeti-
ton does not change its truthful
ness. Jackie Atz, one OF baseball's
greatest managers, Is the latest
victim Of tickle fandom. Three years
ago Jake was the most popular man
III Fort Worth. He had turned out
Dixie champions in wholesale lots.
Good old Jakie-nothing too good
Tor that bowl No stree, Bob. The
town was his. He was Cowtown's
greatest parsonage. Then came the
parting OF the ways. Jake left "for
the best interests OF all concerned"
later signing with the Dallas Steers.
FORT WORTH fans are On him
good and proper now. The same
Threats which Justify cheered him
are Jeering the old man now. They
are dipping out scalding razzberry
soup and pouring 1t down over his
ears. They are even writing PONIES"
to the veteran. Here's q sample:
Here lies Jake Atz
Brave and bold,
A red hot Cat
Knocked him cold.
Other wise cracking slogans run:
Oh, Atzl He's dreading the Cats.
Keep Atz' Steers down and SNYDER
Catsup. Support the Cats to beat
Jake Atz.
UNCLE BILLY DISCH recently
got a dose OF poison from the same
pill box at the University Of Texas.
While on this subject, a word might
be dropped on Fred Walker, who
was to have been the fall guy" in
the u. Il. fracaS. Walker is no
novice IN This athletic world. He
was an excellent football player in
his day. Fred played alongside
Eckersall a. Chicago. Perhaps you
remember The severe drubbing the
u. Of G. dished out TO the Long
horns back in 1904. Walker played
in that game against the Texans,
as did Eckersall.
BRIEF is the admiring flicker Ia
the eyes Of Mr.. Avg. Fan.
II one pays attention to this
spring training chatter, every major
league club has strengthened itself
for the coming season. The races
may be closer, but the majority Of
the fans and ScribeS are picking
the Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia
Athletics to repeat. Connie Mack,
usually as cautious as Cal himself
and as silent as a cigar store Indian,
came out flatfooted, saying he was
sure the AS would repeat. The Tall
Tactician Is not noted for his
Shiresarean Ctsk. tSk) chatter. The
veteran must have things pretty
well sewed up, or else he has gone
chamber Of commerce.
HOW does Mack's present infield
stack UP with his famous 100000
combination? Using figures from
1913 and 1929, one would say the
present inner Gordon is a little bet
ter on defense but cannot pound
the pill as did the old timers. Man

After his men had been held to

suit was six hits and eight runs, for
a 0 to 3 victory. The uprising was

causing trouble for the Brooklyn

to Detroit at Macon yesterday
when rain interrupted a pitching

Vic Sorrell OF Detroit, but that was
lust one difficulty. Two more were
q cold that kept Hank Deberry out

In spite Of rain yesterday, things
were sunny for the Senators as Cos
lin signed for $4,000 and q bonus
which made it possible for him TO
earn $4,000, which he was paid last
year.
The Detroit Tigers are at Atlanta
for a three-game series with the
Atlanta club OF the Southern Asso-
citation. Manager Stanley Harris
Astll Is hoping his charges will come
$out Of their exhibition season bat

become the next featherweight
champion. He recalls George Nixon,
another Negro, who Is generally
conceded to be the best fighter ever
to reign the featherweight division.
Chocolate does not have the per-

Dixon's fights, however. But when
he does cut loose, he looks like a
