Ireland gets credit for thinking up the hand-ball idea along the 10th or 11th century but pr.

 This game has gained widespread favor at the Cole street institution since Dr. Wisnefski, seeded the outstanding entry, started the ball rolling recently. This sport has been added to the training routine of the hospital attaches as is re- garded as wonderful all-rould conditioner. something that sharp ems the eyes, speeds up tho legs and arms, develops the lungs and thins the fat and builds up tho scrawny.

The eve Of the 1893 season found the owners in the most pes simistic frame of mind since 1920. when the Black Sox scandal threat ened to do away with the pastime. The owners, almost without 'excep- tion, expect decided falling off in attendance and have prepared themselves for the shock by slicing salaries and operating expenses.
 This feeling of doubt is cxempll- fled in the official communique is- sued last night by President John A. Heydler of the National League. In the past Mir Heydler. as is the custom with presidents, always confined his preseason announce ments to a description of what a great game baseball was and how magnificently the people were go- ing to respond to it's lure. But this years official bulletin iDtimated that basebalIs back was against the wall and nothing but the old eternal hustle on the part of the players would make 1t attractive enough to cause the citizens to part with their, money.
 Great Gallop Ahead
 This feeling of doubt on the part of MT Heydler may be sadly mis- placed, for his own National League promises to put on the closest race in years. And it's no secret that wide open race, with several teams battling for the pen nant until the late days of the campaign, never has failed to bring the customers out. The National League appears as an even battle between no less than five teams Chicago, defending champions, Pittsburgh, Brooklyn, St Louis and Philadelphia. If these teams stay punched until mid August, say, President Heydler and all, the owners will be able to give the de- precision laugh.
 Yanks Again?
 Things do not appear so bright for the American League, for the world champion New York Yan- kees arc likely to take charge be- fore a month Is gone and go on to a walkaway as they did in 1892. If the Yankees are to be checked, the checking must be done by Phil adelphia. Washington or Cleveland. Tho other four clubs in the league haven't a prayer.
 Eight of the clubs Yankees, White Sox, Red Sox, Browns. Gi- ants, Dodgers, Braves and Cubs are counting on the sale of beer in the parks to bring in added rev. cnue.

C8A An Ot 4OAAOs
 The Cardinals Infield Is shot. Tho outfield lacks robust batting punch. Whatever hope there is for lighting out of that sixth place po- sitiOn to which the Cubs sank last year rests with the pitchers.
 It Is common history that man ager of the Cardinals never knows what the morning mail may bring. A man may sit down to breakfast as boss of the team and arise to discover he's coaching at Danville.
 Gabby is q great guy, a line man a1er and his players hustle for him to their utmost. But, you know how those things are.
 Hornsby Back Again
 Hornsby is trying to come back at second base. The chances are 100 to 1 that he won't. Charley Gelbcrt will be out with leg in- jury sustained while hunting dur ing the winter. That puts 1t up to glade. from Brooklyn (and 6 typ teal Brooklyn ball player), or Char ley Wilson to play second or snort. Wilson, who has worked hls way up through the various Cardinal chain stores, probably gets the can at short. He is not so hot as hit- ter.
 If Frisch refuses to undergo the major operation the Cardinal front office performed on his fee, the third base job may go to sparky Adams.
 Jimmy Collins at first is the only infieIder who measures up 10 ma 1or league standard.
 Allen, Crabtrce and Martin out fielders, played dead as batters iast year. Watkins and Orsatti hn above 300 switching positions. JOG Medwick, a right-handed hltter' who punched out .S54 at HouSto,. , last year. is the best prospect. Not much class there.
 Vance Should Help
 The pitchers improve the ap- pearance of the team. Walker from the Giants and Vance from Brook- Iyn add strength to the staff. Hal lahan and Derringor arc capaplc fingers, who slumped badly last year. Of the youngsters, Carleton and Stout appear ready 10 "ih some games. ,,,,
 Tho big sho of the staff Is Dizzy Dean. He won IS games last year, and if confidence means anything he'll knock off 25 this year.
 The catching also Is better than average. Jimmy Wilson VIII eaten all he can. The substitute IS BOD O'Farrcll from tho Giants.
 Martin Not So Hot
 Pepper Martin, hero of the 1891 world series, is fighting for q job this year. Gabby has been trying him in the inheld. but 1t looks 10 be no go. Martin probably Will omen the season in center field.
 There arc too many question marks at important positions this year for the Cards to hope for any success.

 United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, April 11.-UP)- What a champion he'd make! What q wild and woody. roister- ing, two- listed champion!
 That was the consensus of those who visited Jack Dempsey's quar- ters yesterday to greet Max Bacr on his arrival from California for his June bout with Max Schmeling. The California butcher boy IS from the same mold as Dempsey. Big, handsome. tough, rough. easy come-easy go, he's a composite of all the items you associate with a heavyweight champion.
 Let him take the title and we'll sec something. He'll cut a swathe from here to California wide enough to accommodate six brew cry horses of three Tammany lead CTS. It won't be swatbe that will appeal to your maiden Aunt Hester, but it'll be q glamorous swathc that'll chase away the mem- ory of the bookish Tunney and the boorish Sharkey.
 You should have seen his arrival yesterday. Dressed six notches higher than the height of fashion, he breezed into his hotel behind fifteen pieces of luggage, bestowing gifts upon all the hired help In sight. Hard as nails, brown as n pecan and with q smile that threat ened to envclop his ears, he didn't look like man who was being sued for divorce by his wife in Livermore, for $250,000 breach of promise by q waitress somewhere else, and who was so hard up he had to get a $1,000 advance from Dempsey to reach the scene of bat tie.
 But money doesn't interest him. except as som ething to spend. AS he explained 1t. he doesn't fight for money, but only in order to gain flame and glory, pay my various Ia awsuits and keep my man. agcrs-aIl twelve of 'cm-out of the breadline."
 He hadn't been In his room five minutes before, shirt off and q bottle of beer in each hand, he started helping out reporter who for some reason or another, wanted him to be full-fledged Jewish heavyweight.
 "All right, make me q Jewish heavyweight. Actually I'm only half Jewish but that doesn't mat ter. Whats that? What side am l Jewish on. oh. you mean was Jewish, my mother or my dad. I don't know. Guess it was my mother though. for she's got sis- tnr barn no y,,nd E.I o Iaf ofr nr anpne - thing like that. Don't forget to make me call her up while I'm here"
 He was asked his mothers maid en name.
 You got me there pal. I don't know what 1t was"
 As he talked, Baer moved round and round the room. Like Demp- sey he's too restless, too full of energy. to stay in one place long. Although a big fellow-he weighs 218 and stands nearly three inch es over six feet--he moved with the agility of cat. One look at him and you know why he believes he'll knock Schmeling out.
 "I never saw th1 Dutchman fight" he said, but I'll get him. I'm too strong, too tough and hit too hard for him. I'm telling you I'm not as worried about Schmel- ing as 1 was about Tuffy Griffiths, and I knocked fluffy out. I'm in good shape right now, and q couple of weeks training would get me down to about 210 and ready for business. I'm really going to train for this one. I'v got all the Holly
