 Nice Record

The Jaspers already hold a victory over their foes to- night.
 Manager Long stated today that amateur rules will be played in Sat- urday's night contest as his team is strictly amateur and has been play- ing Simon-pure rules since its ir- ception on the court several years ago. Tuckey is former member of the Rubber squad and his ap- pearance against his old-time mates will attract numerous fans.
 Manhattan will show Kenny, Volpe, Ryan, McNally and Tuckey as its starting lineup here Saturday.

BROWNS TO BEAR WATCHING, SAYS
 ROGERS HORNSBY
May Break Into First Divi. sion If Some Team
 Cracks
BY STUART CAMERON Fs.iknA Prs.ae 9taR C0rrean0nden

tUnited Press StafR COrreSpOndenC
 Fort Myers, Fla, March 18-- While he has no dreaming idea of winning the pennant, Rogers Hornsby, boss of the St. Louis Browns, today labelled his club the dark horse entry of the American league race.
 The Browns, according to the Rajah, who is starting his 22nd season in the majors, are certain to lead the second division. If they play up near the mark he held for them, the Browns will break into the upper quarter for the first time since he took over management of the Missouri outfit.
 Sensible
 "I'd be a sap to talk about 8 pennant," Rogers said as he came here to play an exhibition game with Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics but I know we ought to go well ahead of the seventh place spot we took last year.
 Look back at lest seasons rec ord and you'll see we did pretty well during the last three months of the season. Well, that's the club we have now. Starting from last years training season until today you will see we have almost new club. figure we can beat the White Eox, Philadelphia and Washington. And if any of the clubs figure for the first division should crack, we'll be the boys to go on up"
 Solters Helps
 Hornsby is full of statistics and while they don't win ball games, they make good selling points. For instance, he talks about Julius Sol- ters, al outflelder whom he got from Boston. Julius was banging the ball at a JAS clip when he transferred his affections to St.. Louis during the 1885 season. But he hit well over 300 from then to series time.
 Solters plays left in the outfield which includes Ed Coleman at right and Sam West at center, number -four man of the outfield is expect ed to be 20-year-old Hal Warnock, former U. of Arizona star, who learned up with the Browns during the past season.
 Here's lad who should be good Dne day." Hornsby said. This may be his season."
