Today's
Sportorial
BY KIRK MILLER

Wrestling goes home to
Ninth Street tonight.
They say water always finds
its level, and that a murderer
returns to the scene of the
crime-so why shouldn't the
wrestlers blossom forth in the
spring ira, la. on Ninth Street?
Some of the very earliest
wrestling activities in these
parts are associated with the
lower end of Ninth Street.
The Bijou, the Gayety and
the Strand have all housed
huge wrestling audiences in
their time, as has Kernan's,
now the President.
How strange it must seem to
the builders Of the Auditorium,
originally intended as a home
of grand opera and other
starched-shirt affairs, to see
wrestling giving it its consis-
tently largest crowds!
But the Shrine is staging
its circus at the Auditorium
all this week, and in the mean
time Uncle Joe Turner prom
ises us he will have HIS clowns
back there on the twentysixth,
with Jim LondoS playing the
role of Pagliacci-which is as
near to opera as the Audito-
rum has been for a long, long
time.

BILOXI, Miss, March 17.-Wash-
ington will send a cracker-jack
second team to Mobile to oppose
the team of that city Sunday.
Here's the lineup and batting or
der submitted to Manager Walter
johnson for his approval last
night:
Joe Kuhel, first base: Baxter
Jordan, third Dase; Harry Rice,
center field; Jack Hayes, short
stop; Wally Dashiell, second base;
Leo Burns, right field; Dave Har-
ris, left field; Cliff Bolton and
Ed Charity, catchers; Ad Liska,
Bobby Burke and Lloyd Brown,
pitchers.
"There's big league ball club
in ITSELF" Coach AL Schacht in
sisted today. "They'd probably
give our regulars q run for
their money"
Ed Kenna, Washington catcher,
is expected to break into action
when Washington meets Balti-
more in Gulfport tomorrow. Eddie

Very Latest Styles

Londos has an ermine kimono
that would make King George
freeze with jealousy. The purple
and-red plushes this season are
gorgeous, my dears, and those
spider-web crepes, with broad,
twill sashes, are said to be a
year in advance of the latest
styles themselves.
In fact, it is whispered that
one of the reasons SO many
women have been falling for
wrestling here of late is the
luxurious drapes in which the
gladiators take their bow before
nearly disrobing to the raw
state and starting their pull
ing and hauling and gnawing
and gnashing.
So, we shall have something
new tonight, not only in that
quaint Middle Western style of
graphing, but gentlemen's haber-
dashery just released by Patou
and Poiret. Possibly, that is
why Goldie Ahearn will referee.
And speaking of Goldie, who
handles tickets for all local
wrestling enterprises, he told
us one on a Greek patron, who
came into buy a ringside seat.

High Silk Hats

In the meantime Joe Free
man, fronting for Sam Beard,
is taking wrestling back to
Ninth Street, which Graded the
sport in the long, long ago un-
til Joe Turner discovered he
could get folks with high silk
hats to go for the sport if he
put it in more refined surround
ings.
Freeman is bringing an en-.
tirely different stripe Of gorillas
here than the species imported
by Turner. Where Turner has
a tendency to former Russian
noblemen, Indian chieftains and
Asiatics like "Goofer" Khan,
Freeman declares he is sticking
to just straight wrestlers with
names that most people can
spell as we'll as pronounce.
Anyway, Freeman's noble ex-
pertinent is the first shot in the
local wrestling war, otherwise
known as the battle Of the itch
ing palms, and, regardless Of
how we'll his wrestlers draw, he
expects to make a go of it even
if he has to turn it into fash
ion show to reveal the latest
motifs in gentlemen's dressing
gowns.
In this respect, the MesSrs.
Freeman and Beard-not Blue

VOSM|K BEST.
ROOKIE WITH
STICK
By LES CONKLIN

NEW YORK, March 17.-Joe
vosmik, Cleveland outfielder, has
shown the most batting prowess
of the various rockies trying to
catch on with the big league ball
clubs training in the South.
This 20-year-old recruit has
rolled up a batting average of
more than 800 in exhibition
games, having gotten off to
flying start by lining five hits in
as many times at bat in the first
game of the season.
The following averages, COM
piled from box scores, are not
complete in every case but fur
nish a fair idea of how other
leading recruits are hitting the
ball in the grapefruit league:
Yves Schulmerich, Braves, 400;
Ernie lombard, Brooklyn, 400;
Red" Worthington, Braves, .39l;
Luke Appling, White SoX, .375:
Sigafoos, Cincinnati, .357; Rad
cliff, White Sox, 1888; Myril Hoag.
Yankees, .316; Sam Leslie, Giants,
.316; Mickey Heath, Cincinnati,
.230: Gene Moore, Cincinnati,
.214; Charley Wilson, Braves,
200; Buzz Arlett, Phillies, 200;
Johnny Vergez, Giants, .083; Nick
Cullop, Cincinnati, .083.
Worthington's average is really
the most impressive of the lot. for
the $4,000 outfielder from
Rochester has played in more
games than the others and has
done all of his hitting against big
league pitchers, while Vosmik, for
instance, has been facing minor
league hurting at New Orleans.
The feat of WorthingtOn and
Schulmerich in WallOping
hOmers against the Yankees yes
terday indicates that this pair,
along with Biff Berger, will
break up many a ball game in
the Goldfish belt this summer.
Vosmik, who led the Three-I
League in hitting last year with
mark of 1895, has gotten off to a
running start over Bib Falk,
Charley Jameson and Bob Seeds
in the race for the left-field job
on the Cleveland club. Manager
Roger Peckinpaugh declares that
the Cleveland sandlot product has
"at least an even chance" to win
the post.
Joel Hunt and Pepper Martin
are hitting the ball hard in an
effort to GUST George Watkins
from the right field berth on the
Cardinals, but gossip from the st.
Louis camp is that they will be
unsuccessful.
CulIOp and Moore are candi-
dates for the Cincinnati out
field job left open by the injury
to Harry Heilmann, who hurt
his wrist and will be out of the
game until August. Neither has
shown much with the stick as
yet.
Other rockies, such as Paddy
Creedon of the Red Sox and
Burns, Storti, Levey and Grimes,
the four new infielders of the
Browns, have been doing we'll but
have had little opportunity as yet
to strut their stuff against first
class opposition.

Briefs

SAN ANTONIO, March II.
The Giants today had a victory
on record over the Chicago White
Sox, but it took 10 innings to
register the triumph. The New
Workers won from the American
Leagues yesterday, 8 to s! With
the score tied 6 to 6 in the extra
inning, Freddies Lindstrom poked
a single that started the scoring
for the Giants.
ST. PETERSBURGH, March II.
The Yankees rejoiced in their
fourth victory in five starts
against the Boston Braves today.
Ruth's double was effective in the
8-to-6 win.
PENSACOLA, Fla, March II.
The pitching staff of the Boston
Red SoX was two less in number
today. Manager John Collins re-
ceived a wire from Bob Allen, of
the Nashville Club, saying he
would take Charlie Cronin, of
Roxbury, and Sumner Colling
wood, of DuXbury, a couple Of
rookie southpawS. A scrub game
was played yesterday, the regu-
lars winning IL to 9. Four hon.
ers were chalked up in the game.
CLEARWATER, March 17.-The
BROOKLYN Robins left here today
for Bradenton, where they play
the Cardinals in a spring tilt. The
Robins sail Friday for their exhi-
bition games in Havana. Whether
Dazzy Vance, the holdou. pitcher,
would make the trip was unde-
cided. It was reported he was
about ready to sign a contract.
SAN FRANCISCO, March II.
The last four innings jinx which
has cost the Detroit Tigers sew.
eral of their preseason exhibi-
ton games, accounted for an.
other defeat here yesterday.
After holding 5-tO-O lead at the
time their pitchers were switch
ed in the fifth, the Tigers fell
miserabIy before the Mission
batters, 8 to S.
Guy Cantrell held the Mission
scoreless and to two hits in his
scheduled five innings, while
Charles Kennon Marrow, making
his first appearance in a Tiger
uniform and possibly his last,
pitched the last four frames.
In keeping with the occasion,
Manager Harris will offer Charles
Patrick O'Sullivan as one of the
two moundsmen in today's battle.
NEW ORLEANS, March IT,
Eddie Morgan, honeymooning
holdout of the Cleveland Indians
baseball team, was back in uni
form at the Tribes training camp
today preparing for the opening Of
the American League season. De-
Gliding to Sidetrack his box bust
ness for at least another year,
Morgan signed his contract at the
club figure, following a conference
with Billy Evans, general manager
of the team, last night.
TAMPA, Fla, March 17.-Al-
though outhit by a wide margin,
the Cincinnati Reds today could
boast a victory with a IL to IL
score over the Columbus Sen
ators, or rather, the Columbus
Red Birds as they are now known.
Wildness of two Of the Columbus
teams rookie pitchers put the
Reds on the long end of the
tally.
