STANDING OF CLUBS Pacific Coast League
VAN CHAPLAIN IS
 OUT AS UMPIRE

CHICAGO, April 14.-President Will Harridge has disclosed that Charles H. Donnelly. former Ma tional League arbiter, would re- place Roy Van Graflan on the American Leagues umpiring staff for 1884. All other umpires on the American League staff, in- cluding Umpire in Chief Thomas H. Connolly, were retained
 No reason was given by Har- ridge for Van Graflan's dismis- sal, although it was known that several of his decisions brought protests from club owners last year.
 Van Graflan, the youngest um- pire on the staff, turned to um- piring in 1921 and achieved such distinct success in the Pacific Coast League that Ban Johnson signed him up for the American League eight years ago.
 Other umires reappointed by President Harridge were William Dineen, Syracuse, N. Y.; George Hildebrand, San Francisco; Clar- ence (Brick) Owens, Chicago; George Moriarty, Chicago; Elm nett Ormsby, Chicago; William A. McGowan, Wilmington, Del. Harry Geisel, Indianapolis; Will liam Summers, Upton, Mass; and Louis Rolls, Rock Island, Neb.

Newark in the International.
 If some of the younger men like Alan Strange, the shortstop from the coast, make the grade, this club may move up several notches and give them all trouble
 Man for man, especially with players like Irving Burns and Os- sic Mellilo in the iniield, Sam West in the outfield and seasoned pitchers such as George Blue holder and Bump Hadley, we stack up pretty well with some of the clubs that are talking now about being in the pennant race.
 No Difference in the Leagues
 People ask me what it's like to be managing an American League team after all the years have spent in the National, or whether there's any differences to worry about. The sanswer is that baseball is played the same in both leagues It takes time to size up the opposing players, the weak ness or strength of batters and pitchers. saw all the other clubs in the two months I manag- ed the Browns last season, so I have a pretty fair idea of what we will be up against. That's all there is to it.
 The American League looks to me to be as well balanced now as the National has been for years. The Yankees and Athletics no longer dominate. The Sena- tors may be tough to beat, if their pitching holds up, but they won't make any runaway. The Yankees and As still have lot of power, but it's question what their pitching will do. The The Red Sox have Grove, the White Sox Earnshaw and Sim mons and the Tigers have Coch- rane. That spreads the strength around and makes it interest ing"

BROWNS WILL PLAY HARD TO
 WIN PENNANT
We'll Give Everythin g We've Got" Is Pledge
 Made by Hornsby 7
By ROGERS HORNSBY

Manager St. LOUIS brO"hS.l
 WEST PALM BEACH, April IA. My ideas about baseball are short and to the point. I have always played hard to win, and that's all I can ask of any player on a team I'm managing.
 Whats more, we are going to win ball games with the Browns this year. This club will have spirit and it will give the others everything it's got.
 It's been said and written about me that I drive ball players pret- ty heavy, but I don't ever recall expecting anything unreasonable from them. I don't lay down a lot of hard and fast rules. In training or during the season 1 ex- pect the boys to be in bed by midnight and keep themselves In condition-not especially for my sake, but, first, for their own benefit and, secondly, in the in- tereSt of the club.
 It should be taken for granted that if younger player is get ting a chance to make good With big league or an older player IS aiming to keep his regular Jon either will use common sense Tn regard to habits.
 Baseball and Liquor Don't Mix 1 There's no harm in a fellow having a good time or doing what he likes on the side so long as it does not affect his playing ability. A glass of beer won'l do him any harm, but hard liquor and big league baseball playing do not mix. A shortstop cant play IS holes of gold in the morn ing and have his legs in shape for a tough ball game in the af- ternoon.
 These observations are simply based on common sense. The big thing with ball club is it's spr- it. It's up to each individual to give the team the best he's got. with the knowledge that all the others are doing the same thing. Then, granted the ability is there, such club is going to go places.
 Look what Bill Terry did with the Giants last year. They had wonderful pitching, it is true, and to my mind pitching to abou 80 percent of the business-but it was the spirit of the Giants that carried them past obstacles to the top.
 Three Fine Prospects I don't know where the Browns are going to wind up this year but I do know they will be hust- ling, that they will play better ball than they did last year anc that the pitching is going to bt greatly improved. We have sev- eral great prospects in fellows like Buck Newsome, who wor 30 games in the coast league, and l Jim Weaver, who won 9 with

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. UP
Gen. William Mitchell, former head
OF the army air corps, recommend
ed to the house military affairs
committee today that the govern
ment continue to fly the air mail
indefinitely.
II certainly believe the govern
ment should continue to fly the air
mail 1t would be done by the
government on more efficient
basis and with much less expense
than it was by private business -
Mitchell said.
"Ihe army was ahead of its
schedules last night. 1t is true that
weather kept a number of planes
down but they are in the air today
and are making good time, despite
poor equipment, of which there is
plenty. This talk about the army
not being able to fly the mail is a
lot of propaganda.
"The government should take
over the navigation facilities of the
air mail companies and use them
for the good of the nation rather
than for the profit of private indi-
vidualS.'
At the same time as Mitchell
was urging government operation
of airmail transportation, the house
post office committee was drafting
bill designed to eliminate the
abuses which led to the recent can
collation. of private mail contracts.

Army aviators fought with the
elements today and in many re-
gions brought the United States
mails through safely and on time.
In other regions snow, lack of Wis
ibility, and storms forced cancella-
ton of scheduled flights.
All through the night army planes
loaded with mail bags and piloted
by young lieutenants were in the air
But bad weather kept the army's
taking over the mail routes from
being auspicious. Almost as many
scheduled flights were cancelled as
were made.
All flights in and out of Newark,
N. j. airport, center of the eastern
division, were cancelled by a raging
snow storm that reduced visibility
to nothing. From Newark westward
to Cleveland the army was yet to
put through the mails, although it
hoped to make the iirst flight to-
day.
From Cleveland on west to Salt
Lake City the army flyers held
closely to their schedules, but from
Salt Lake City to the Pacific coast
the weather became uncertain
again and the mail schedules were
revised accordingly.
Lieutenant John C. Crosthwaite
was forced down at Sacramento by
local storm on the first army mail
flight between San Francisco and
Salt Lake City. The next flight was
cancelled. Weather along this leg
was forecast as unsettled and rain
fer today. Scheduled flights be-
tween Los Angeles and Salt Lake
City and Los Angeles and San Diego
likewise were cancelled

In all cases where army mail

companies were planning drastic
readjustments to offset decreased
revenue through the loss of their
