HUNGRY HALIBUT AND HUNGRY DUCK HAVE
 M0MENT0US MEETING

Even halibut have appetites for duck. And a Hell-diver who dove too deep on one trip down into Gla- cier Bay got a personal slant on the Bible story of Jonah and the whale
 Andrew Brensdahl, member of the crew of Capt Vincent Anderson $ halibuter Sylvia, pulled a Hopping halibut onto the deck during the Sylvia's last trip out to the haliblt banks and found an undigested Hell diver in the stomach of the appar- ently hungry fish.
 The halibut was quickly iced and the fish duck who dove too deep was given the same treatment. Now Anderson has proof of his story in the pirated duck dinner from the hungry halibuts stomach.

Dodgers Need Hitting,
MucPhuiI Admits
BY JOHN LARDNER,


CLEARWATER, Fla, March S
(N.AN.AD.-The Brooklyn Dodgers
finished in third place last year,
the highest they have done since
Max Carey steered them to the
same spot in 1882. Last year they
nosed out the Cubs in camera
finish for show, on the penultimate
day of the season.
Was this a solid gain, promising
better things for Brooklyn baseball,
or was it just a flash in what we
ward-painters jokingly call the pan?
Frankly, I think the Dodgers will
be lucky to finish as high as third
In 1910. In his sober moments,
Leland Stanford MacPhail, the
Brooklyn brain, thinks the same.
Mr.. MacPhail kids himself good
deal of the time, but he never
succeeds in fooling MacPhail COM
pletely. He realizes that Brooklyn
was lucky last year and will have
to be lucky again.
Maybe they will be. After all,
the luck" they enjoyed last season
was only two parts sheer good for
tune. 1t also was one part hustle
and two parts manipulation. IT
Leo Durocher can keep his spark
plug going in his crucial "sopho-
more" year as manager, and if Mac
Phail can 60 on working his trick

Durocher as Bench Pilot
Might Not Help Club

OF the rockies. Charley Gilbert,
who hit BIT for Nashville last year
seems to have the best chance of
breaking into the cast.
When MacPhail says he has some
of the best pitching in the league he
means he hasn't got the worst
pitching. Which is true. Is Whit
low Wyatts knee all right? It's toe
soon to tell. If it is, then Wyatt,
Hamlin, Hugh Casey and Tot Press
nell make the nucleus of pretty
good staff. Whatever help they get
from Van Mungo, Tex Carleton, Vito
Tamulis and Fred Fitzsimmons is
velvet. Yves Ferrell is tough. Max
Macon looks the best of the new
comers.
Peewee Reese, the kid infielder
from Louisville, looks the goods at
shortstop. But there's a danger
there. If Reese sends Durocher to
the bench too often, will Leo the Lip
be able to manage the club as we'll
with his brain and his double-talk
as he did by his flaming example?
Most player managers think they
can manage all right from the dug
out. Some of them are wrong
Mickey Cochrane was wrong. This
Is just one of the cultural prob
lens that faces the Dodgers in
1910, and I wish 'em luck with all
Of them.

One More ReoI SIueeer
Needed by Dodgers

IT think it will be better" con-
tinues Leland S. MacPhail, tanning
himself gradually into enthusiasm,
which is something this gifted mag
nate can do at the drop of beer
tap. I'VE paid to get Joe Vosmik
out of the American League and on
to our club and Vosmik can powder
the ball. He's the kind of hitter we
need.
Il don't know yet what the rest of
the outfeld will be, but if one man
out there can give us hitting, to go
with Vosmik, Camilli, Phelps and
Lavagetto, you'll hear from us, boy,
you'll hear from us"
Having no false shame whatso-
ever, Mr.. MacPhail does not apollo
gize for his practice of going to the
American League for stop-gap ma
terial. Most National League exec
utives close their eyes and blandly
proclaim that there is no real diff
ference between the two big leagues
MacPhail knows that the American
League has better hitters, and he
uses his knowledge to help his team
Vosmik may be what he needs
though Vosmik is not a ball of fire
inspirationally.
When Leland Stanford MacPhail
says he has great defense he
means he has pretty good defense
The infield-Camilli, Coscarart, Du
rocher or Reese. and Lavagetto-is
fast and tight. The outf1eld is any
mans guess. 1t may be Vosmik in
left, Roy Cullenbine (another Amer
lean League fugitive) in center and
Ernie Koy in right.

Ring Sport Not Aided
As Scott Trounces
Fiorentino Easily
La SoIIe, Furr Expected
To Prove More Active
In Next Turner Show

Kenny La Sale VS.. Furr will be
the next main bout offering at Tur-
ner's Arena and the customers fer
vently hope it results in better
exhibition than last nights fiasco
between Buddy Scott and Nick Flo
rentino.
On paper it should be. La Sale,
a ranking welterweight, is clever
with his dukes and a pretty stiff
puncher. He should keep Phillips
head bobbing like a yes-man's with
his left and it isn't improbable that
he'll stretch the hometown painter
for partial count, if not the whole
10. And if Furr should come through
with another of his surprising dem
onstrations and win, it will be a
worth fight because La Sale
isn't catching for sport. He's in
there to win.
Fiorentino Through" Early.
Such was not the case last night
as Fiorentino, painfully paunchy and
slow, absorbed a resounding drub-
bing from young Scott's fists. He
wasn't in the fight after round 2,
technically speaking, as Scott
pounded his midriff with a relentless
barrage of blows to score a surpris-
ingly easy victory. 1t was not q
pleasing fight from the spectators
viewpoint and certainly not one with
which to launch a boxing revival.
Scott at one time was managed
by Gabe MenendeZ, aide-de-camp
to Promoter Joe Turner and the lad
who actually is putting in the
matches, and it appeared that the
good senor merely was assuring his
former meal ticket of a successful
debut when he signed the fat Phila-
delphian.
This is surprising after hearing
Menendez remark that there would
be no setups under the new regime,
that every fight would be an honest
and entertaining bout. Last nights
was honest, no doubt, but stop there.
Scott No Ball of Fire.
Fiorentino missed a wild right
swing at one stage of the proceed
ings-that is he missed Scott, but
connected with Referee Eddie La
Fond's unprotected jaw which was
exposed when Scott ducked. There
was not sufficient steam behind the
punch to feaze La Fond, however,
and took it with a grin. That was
the tipoff on Fiorentino's prowess.
Nor was Scott any ball of fire with
his own dukes. He made Nick vince
couple of times by burying rights
deep in his tummy, but the fat boy
showed him off. pushed him around
and survived without undue trouble.
Bobby (Poison) Ivy, highly rec
commended featherweight, bowed to
Marcus Pitts in rough and tumble
e1ght-round semi-f1nal. This was q
severe jolt to the management,
which hoped to build up Ivy in this
neighborhood.
Mayon Pablo, Philadelphia welter,
hoored Eddie Finazzo twice in the
fifth round to clinch unanimous six
round decision. Eddie Miller and
Al Gilbert struggled to draw in
another six.
Buddy Holmes, colored middle
weight, outpointed Artie johnson to
win the opening four-rounder.
