that Rockne, with the, game going

substitutes with instructions for the
quarterback. While it was true that
the sending in Of certain players
such as Two-Minute Brien-gave the
quarterback his cue as to what play

Rockne left the game itself largely
In the hands Of the men. His work

rom New Ball

Sacramento. CAL, April 7.-(R)-
Stanley "Bucky'' Harris, black-haired,
youthful manager Of the Detroit
Tigers believes the new less-lively
ball Is going to bring back "inside
baseball" immediately. and he is glad
Of 1t.
As Buclky sees It: 1T Is about time
We got away from these batting
orgies. Home runs have been so
common the players only yawned
when they hit them. With the lively
ball the best pitchers In the business
were working under q big handicap.
I think the fans, too, will welcome a
few 10 and al games"
The Tiger leader saw enough in
training camp to convince him the
new ball has been deadened. Dale
Alexander, giant first baseman,
helped Harris form his conclusion.
Alexander, 6 foot 3 inch, 200-pounder,
clouted the old ball a mile. The
same terrific swings on the new pellet
resulted in easy outs.
Wmle lot or other managers have
put calisthenics. soccer, volley ball
and similar games on the daily train
ing routine, Harris feels all this so
much wasted time.
His argument Is, "the primary place
for . player Is on the diamond. Save
the stunts for the circus performance.
Along the same line Of reasoning you
wouldn't take piano lessons If you
wanted to learn to become q writer,
would you?
II am greatly In favor Of 10 days
Of preliminary training at some re-
sort, such as our batterymen had this
spring. The boys came out ahead Of
the regular squad and stopped at
Richardson Springs.
"For more than q week they hiked
up and down hill. played golf and
drank plenty Of mineral water. When
they reported to me at Sacramento I
was amazed at the wonderful condi-
ton they were in. AS long as am
in charge of the Tigers we will con-
tinue this system"

Rooster Is Last
Heath Hen Known
Alive in the World
Bureau Of Biological Survey
Has Given Up Hope Of
Finding a Mate

Washington, April R- One
lonely old rooster on Martha'S vine
| yard off the Massachusetts, coast is
the only known Heath hen alive.
Officials of the bureau Of biological
survey said Tuesday they had given
up hope Of finding a mate for the
lone cock. After he is dead the Heath
hen will have gone the way OF the
wild pigeon.
Thousands of dollars and much
time and effort has been expended in
an effort to keep the game bird from
extinction but it was the old story Of
priming the pump after the house
burned down.
Early settlers along the Atlantic
coast found huge flocks of the Heath
hen-in size and appearance much
like the western prairie chicken fire.
quenting the sandy, scruboak plains
of Massachusetts,. Connecticut. Long
Island, New York and other coastal
areas from Maine to Virginia.
The Cavaliers discovered the Heath
hen was excellent for roasting on a
spit before huge fireplaces. The fowl
helped Roger Williams and his fol-
lowers through their first hard win
ters In Rhode Island. Pilgrims who
hunted turkey, or wild deer without
success, brought home Heath hens for
Thanksgiving.
The Heath hen, however, was the
pot-hunter's prey. It flew in
straight line and rather slowly Oh
flushing and it had an unfortunate
habit Of congregating in large flocks
in open spaces.
It was extinct on the mainland as
early as the Civil war but still flour
ished on islands. Bird lovers called
attention from time to time to the
fact it was dwindling and as late as
1925 there was q Heath hen confer
ence in New England in an effort to
save the pinnated fowl.

Addition Of Strength to Gate
City Clubs Assures Great

Chicago, April 7.-(RtThe Ameri-
can Association, staggered in 1890
along with most Of the minor circuits
because Of poor gate receipts, prom
ises to stage solid comeback during
the approaching campaign.
Because of weak clubs in some OF
its best gate" cities, notably Mil
waukee and Kansas City, the eight
club class AA loop was tackled 50
hard In the vicinity of the treasury
belt last year that 1t almost lost one
or two clubs, which were about ready
to give up.
But shrewd buying, selling and
building during the winter months
promises to save the loops member

the % years Of its organization. Al
most every club in the league reports
prospects better and fan interest
keener. Thomas jefferson Hickey.
president OF the league, said Tuesday
he expects one of the best seasons in
years, with Louisville, st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Milwaukee among
the favorites and the others crowd
ing In from start to finish.
Brewer Comeback Pleasing
Milwaukee's apparent comeback
has been the most pleasing over
winter development to President
Hickey and the club treasurers. The
Brewers, one of the best gate attrac-
tions of the league when they are
anywhere in first division, landed In
second division last year but have
come back with strengthening trades.
The catching has been strengthened
with Benny Bengough, Clyde Manion
and Bernie Hungling; the loquacious
Art Shires has been sent to first base,
while the infield and pitching staffs
have been strengthened SO that they
look 100 per cent stronger.
Louisville, another one of the cities
where the customers show the condi-
ton of the league treasury, shapes up
about the same as last year when the
Colonels won the pennant. Mel SIM
ons, star outfielder, will be missed,
but Clarence Hoffman, who the
White Sox sent to the Colonels in the
Simons deal, should do well.
st. Paul and Minneapolis, off to q
slow start last year, appear stronger
II anything and the fan interest in
the Twin Cities is high. The Saints
lost Pitcher Wiley Moore while the
Millers lost Nick Cullop, the home run
champion, in deals, but received
trusty successors.
