NomadsOut
To Regain
Reputation.

Coach r. r. Taylor's jul
nior college Arabs today had
two reasons to defeat Yuma
in the second game of their
series with the Yuma Crimi-
mails TO be played Tuesday night.
First to regain part, at least, of
the prestige they lost when they
suffered a humiliating 1920 defeat
at the hands of Brawley's General
Petroleum quintet, and second TO
avenge a defeat handed them by
the Criminals in the first meeting
between the rivals.
Yuma trampled the junior col
legians 24-2l in the first game of
the series in rough and tumble
tilt played on the Yuma floor but
the Arabs are determined the score
shall be reversed Tuesday.
Which lineup R. r. Taylor would
start against Yuma still remained
a mystery but the Arab mentor
indicated he would start an en-
tirely new combination.
The Arabs reserves will have a
busy evening as they are slated to
, battle the 20-30 club in a game
Starting at 1880 and will meet Yuma
reserves in second game.
The reserves walloped Yuma Sec
ond stringers in their first meeting
and are planning to make it two
in row when they line up on the
floor Tuesday.

with Imperial was postponed, is the

PARADE

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, Feb. 10.
W.R)-The hotel clerk said Mister
Frisch wasn't in, but that I prob
ably could find him at the golf
course presenting trophies TO the
lady golfers, or at that junior serv-
ice league clinics for under -privileg-
ed children, talking to the boys.
told the clerk he must be think
ing of the wrong Frisch-that l
wanted frankie Frisch-the Frisch
who bossed the ST. Louis Gas
House gang, always went into
base with his steel high. and was
so all-around rough that even Pep
per Martin called him Sir"
But the clerk was right. The
frankie Frisch who is waiting here
for his Cardinals to begin spring
training is far cry "a whoop and
a holler, in fact from the whale
bone and whipcord gent of the
National league diamond.
When I finally found him he
was stretched out in a beach chair
at the Seabreeze bath and Tennis
club, nibbling canape, and drink
ing in the sunshine. He seemed so
peaceful, SO contented. that 1 hated
to speak of baseball But, knowing
that this nation will never relax
until the Dizzy Dean problem is
settled, I inquired after that cele-
brated right arm, with man at
tached.
Frisch said that he had heard
Dizzy was en- route 10 teach at the
baseball school in Hot Springs Ark,
and as the information had come
from Mrs. Dean, he allowed it must
be true.
The st. Louis manager was in
clined to scoff at the report that
Dizzy was going to teach pitching
at the school.
They wouldn't want him on
subject like that" he said a bit
ruefully. II imagine they'll let him
teach the subject on which he is
the absolute authority Others can
teach pitching, but only Dizzy is
qualified for this one line"
And what is that" 1 asked.
"Music?-You know blowing ones
own horn?"
mo, although he wouldn't be bad
at that. The subject I'm thinking
of is how to run a baseball man
ager batty.' What a course of in
struction he could give in that lee
turing only one hour a day. He
could teach his pupils to gray the
hair, bend the back, warp the mind,
and line the face of any manager
in the game.
His course in sulking couldn't
be taught in day, either. For
it involves sulking on ballfield. sulk-
ing in dugout, sulking in locker
room, sulking in train, boudoir and
bath. Neither could his masterful
course in advance second guessing.
That would take full year, in fact"
Did Frisch think Dean was ca
pable of teaching post graduate
students?
Hell yes, l guess he could pick
three or four of his best pupils and
teach them how TO sulk all the way
from the bull-pen. Dizzy is the
only man in the world right now
who can pout and grippe and fume
SO magnificently that even when
he's in the pen, two hundred yards
away, 1 can feel it in the dug-out
I'll have to hand it to Dizz-he's
the best hand-to-hand sulker, as
well as the best long distance sui
ker, I ever saw"
