~ RLANDO, Fla, March l2.-As
4 soon as the regulars arrived
J in camp, the Brooklyn
Dodgers began to look like
a happy and dangerous ball club.
They have an air about them now.
They may not crack the first division,
but there is power and zest in this
peculiar posse Of athletes headed by
Dr.. Charles Dillon Stengel.
The team is pretty much the same
as last year, on paper. But the ball
season won't be played on paper.
1T will be played on the ball
field,' says DR.. Stengel. quoting
from the Greek of Euripides. "On
the field I will have a pretty fair
club, pretty fair"
DIR. StengeI never was one to
exaggerate the genius of his ath-
letes.
The team is better than he admits
Three of his boys who were question
marks last Spring are established ball
players this Spring. I mean Linus
Junebug Frey, the most promising
young infielder in the National
League; Len Koenecke, a good hitter
and a fine fielder, and Emil Dutch
Leonard, the sprightly knuckle-b ball
artist.
Many Laugh at Terry's Expense.
T Asst year Frey didn't figure to be
in the starting lineup. He
blossomed in June like a late
crocus. Koenecke was very, very
doubtful a Giant caSt-off. He became
the best defensive outfielder in the
circuit, with batting average well
above the popular 300 mark. Leonard
won IA games for sixth-place club
in his first year.
In addition to this talent, there is
likely young southpaw pitcher In
camp named William Watson Clark.
He looks a bit worn and scanned, but
he says he Is Just starting life. The
Clark person is another Giant cast
of. If he comes through for the
Dodgers this year, on top OF Koe-
necke's performance last year, DR..
Stengel will have a hearty laugh at
the expense of Bill Terry. 1t will be
even heartier than the laugh he got
at Mr.. Terry's expense in the last
week of the season of 1884.
OF course, the doctor will not
laugh too loudly or rudely. He Is
scholar and sage.
When not occupied with an ancient
Chaldean text, or a Persian coin, or
a fragment OF Greek pottery. DR..
Stengel sits In pious thought with his
arms folded across his chest looking
. lot like Socrates on one of the lat
ter's good days

Dodgers "Just Growed."

DR. STENCIL does not admit that
- ne IS under the influence Of
Billy Sunday He admits moth
ing. Pressed for an explanation of
his ball club, he says whimsically that
"it Just growed," like Topsy.
This club just developed and de-
veloped until it got to be what it is
today" says DR.. Stengel. If we
get good outfieldine this year, and
good Unfolding, and good pitching and
little catching. We may 60 some
place, if the hitting is any good
Stengel is two parts whimsical and
eight parts smart. When the late
Uncle Robbie's team began to COL
lapse and crumble, Max Carey set
to work making a new team. Carey
produced Leslie, Strip, Cuccinello,
Koenecke, Danny Taylor and a few
more. He was a shrewd ivory mer-
chant. but he couldn't make the boys
perform. Stengel is doing that. Un-
der his comic, but shrewd direction,
the Brooklyn club seems headed for
better things.
The outfleld, with Boyle, Koenecke,
and Taylor working regularly and
Chapman and Bordagaray in reserve,
is good. The inf1eld, Leslie, Cucci-
rello, Frey, Strip, Bucher and Jor.
dan, is better than fair. The catcher,
Lopez, is about as good as they come.
The pitching staff, with Mungo,
Benge, Leonard and Babich leading
of and Munns and Clark as posi-
bilities, can give weight to several
other staffs In the league.
DR.. Stengel doesn't confess to much
Of this, but his scholarly and benevo-
lent pan shines with optimism. There
seems to be no doubt about Brook

A Puncher Arrives.
TTAVING stopped Lee Ramage and
III Red Barry in a total of five
rounds, something will have to
be done quite shortly about giving Joe
Louis of Detroit his place in the higher
brackets.
They may not be able to wedge him
in for a shot at the early Summer
show involving Max Baer, but he now
has reached the point where he is
one Of the big cards of the ring. 1t so
happens that Louis can punch. and
this is the main ingredient needed
for crowd appeal.
Some one is overlooking a first

He may not be any world-beater in
other respects. but he has been pack

Swinging Better Now.

Somehow. feel I am gripping the
bat better and getting better stance
at the plate. If I feel this way in
only my second batting practice at
camp, I ought be really good when
the exhibition games start.
And those exhibition games will
give me a real line on batting. If I
am swinging just as well against
pitchers who put something on their
pitches as am now I am sure I'll 20

and arms in trim to whack lot of

he went up for his last turn at the
plate to shoot another to the depths
OF center.
His vigor at the plate, his action in
general are enough to convince any
one looking that Schultz is fully de-
termined to defend his job as reg

that's Henry Coppola's calling card.
1t puts him before the camera eye,
and looking through the finder We see

strong sinewy arms which finally
give in to couple of powerful hands.
Henry, or ''Cuppy" as he was mon

East Douglas. Mass. took his kinder
garten base ball work at the village
high school. For three years he
played everything around the pasture.
Tried out all infield and outfield posi-
tions, even took shot at receiving.
But his hitting was nothing to make
any major league scout start buying
railroad tickets for any young fellow.
After weeks Of much brooding over
the subject Of his anemic stick work.
Cuppy awoke one fine morning with
the answer to his difficulties breaking

lead to one heated argument
viz:
Which club has the more effective
pitching staff-the Giants or the
Cardinals?
The correct answer to this debate
won't tell the entire story of the
National League pennant race, but 1t
will go a large part of the way.
In the one camp we have Hubbel,
Schumacher. Fitzsimmons, Parmelee
and possibly Castleman.
In the other we have Dizzy and
Paul Dean, Hallahan. Pat Malone and
a few minor aides.
There are more than a few expert
noncombatants who figure that Hub
bell and Schuma cher should win
around AZ games this season and that
the two Deans won't win more
than As.
Against this they figure that Fitz-
simmons and Parmelee will be good
for SO games and that Hallahan and
Malone won't turn in more than 30
on the winning side.
I recall sitting on the Giants
bench with Fitzsinmons during the
last game of the 1884 season. Fitz
was staring moodily across the field.
He had pitched something like 40
innings of flawless ball without get
ting a run to back him up. Il don't
think that will happen again" he
said. If it does, I am going lion
hunting in Africa with my bare
hands"
The somewhat general opinion that
the two Deans won't do so well this
season as they did last year seems to
me out of joint.
The may very well do better. They
have just as much stuff-and more
experience. They have a star young
catcher in Delaney to handle them
and better making team back
of them than the Giants had in 1894.
I'd peg the two Deans around so
winning games this season if no
injuries or sickness cut down their
working capacity. And Paul will get
his share of these-a better pitcher
in 1885 than he vas year ago.

Grove today looks better than did
the tall, melancholy young man who
moped around the training camp last
Spring with a kink in his left shoul-
der, still hoping against hope.
But he has long way to go before
reaching the Grove of 1882.
The big pitching duel of the year in
the younger league should be between
Gomez and Rowe. They were the
two stars of their circuit last year. and,

QUAKER AND LION
PLAY To END TIE
Game Tomorrow Will Settle
Intercollegiate Basket
League Honors.

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, March 12.-For the
M sixth time in history. the
Y Eastern intercollegiate Basket
Ball League championship
has ended in a tie and for the fifth
time play-off will settle the issue.
Penn, champion a year ago, and
Columbia, the dark horse" outfit of
the loop this season, will meet to-
morrow night in a one-game play
off for the title in Rutgers gym
nasium at New Brunswick, N. ]. Each
finished the regular campaign with
10 victories and defeats.
A field goal by big Bob Freeman,
captain and center of the Quakers,
in the closing minute of play gave
Penn a 1925 victory over f1fth-place
Princeton at the Palestra Saturday
night and qualified the Quakers for
the play-offs. Until Freeman picked
up loose ball and looped in that
field goal, Princeton was we'll on the
way to springing the biggest upset
of the season. The Tigers had been
beaten decisively by Penn in an
earlier game at Princeton, but they
outplayed Penn most of the way on
Saturday. leading 1912 at the half
and 1924 with less than a minute
to play.
The Eastern Leagues first cham
pionship game was in 1914 when Cor
nell and Columbia finished with iden-
tical records. There was no play-off
that year, but five subsequent ties
were played off, Princeton figuring in
them ALL The Tigers lost to Penn
in play-of in 1916, to Dartmouth
in 1927 and to Penn in 1928. They
defeated Penn in the 1922 play-off
and conquered Columbia in 1882.
Another Tie Looms.
WITH only the Pitt-West Virginia
w engagement at Morgantown
tomorrow remaining on the
slate, the Eastern intercollegiate Con-
ference championship likewise may
have to be decided by play-off.
West Virginia, now trailing the
Panthers by one game, can gain a
tie for the title by winning tomor-

win, the play-of game VIII be played
