Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 15.—There is a widespread and generally accepted belief in baseball that the Yankees are one of these clubs that have everything. Tnis is Slightly erroneous. They haven’t a

captain. What’s more they aren’t going to have one. {Normally this would be nothing to jump off , the Woolworth Tower about. A captain of a big league baseball club in most instances is luxury, like flower vases in flivver coupes, and his contributions to the strategical sue-

Williams

fcess of the club are seldom important. Under managers such as John Joseph McGraw who bask contentedly on their hip pockets in the shadow of the dugout the captain’s duties consist mainly of walking solemnly to the plate before the game and handing umpire a small slip of white paper on which is written the day’s line-up. The captain is also privileged to (exchange withering glowers with the umpire in circumstances involving what he deems to have been a frightful exercise of judgment. In this way incidentally some of the jgame’s most proficient glowers are developed. tt tt tt Perhaps the most tremendous of all the responsibilities the captain must shoulder is that which requires him to stand in the middle of the diamond end study minutely the contours and markings of the ball while pitchers are being changed. tt tt a QOME of the captains bring to this involved and difficult procedure a dignity of bearing and gravity of expression that would make Mr. Walter Hampden, the Shakespearean interpreter, look like one of Mck Sennett’s old Keystone cops. What makes the Yankee situation unique in this. respect is that the team has been without a captain for six years and that a young fellow by the name of George Herman Ruth, who was the last Yankee captain, would like to be captain again.! tt tt tt But l\lr. Miller Huggins, the manager, says he can’t be and while there was a time when Mr. i Huggins’ word to George Hciman ! Ruth meant little or nothing that ! time is no more and when he says j George Herman won’t captain the , team there is nothing more to be ! said. tt tt tt MR. HUGGI,NS says: ‘'We seem j to be getting along pretty well without a captain. Ruth is playing better than ever just as an outfielder. Added responsibilities might affect his hitting. If I thought we ought to have a captain, Ruth would get the job. Since he can’t j have it no one else will get it.’-

Tex Signs Sammy Mandell to Meet Jimmy McLarnin for World Title

Eddie Kane, Mandell's manager, signed for the champion. Both Rickard and Kane expressed unconcern over Mullen’s threat to obtain an injunction to prevent the fight. “I’ve heard about injunctions before. They don’t mean nothing,’’ said Tex, thinking of Philadelphia and the unavailing efforts of Jack Kearns to block the first DempseyTunney fight. Mullen also threatened to have Mandell suspended “in 28 States” end to seize a $5,000 forfeit posted by the champion to bind a contract Sammy made with the Chicago promoter some time ego. “He can’t do anything,” said Kane.

play in sixteen regional tourneys resulted in elimination for several teams of high calibre. The schedule for the finals tourney calls for eight games Friday, all first-round contests. Seven games will be played Saturday. Four second-round tilts Saturday morning will leave four contestants in the running and the two semifinal games Saturday afternoon will result in the elimination of two more, the two survivors playing in the final game at 8 o’clock. Precaution Taken Every precaution to keep the contesting players in the best of physical condition has been taken and practically all of the teams were to bring their own supply of water and some their own food. The players will be moved swiftly from the hotels and clubs where they are quartered and back to their rooms and sent to bed, after the games, according to advance plans set forth by the coaches. City inspectors today gave Arthur L. Trester, permanent secretary of the I. H. S. A. A., a written approval of the construction of the temporary bleachers surrounding the playing floor. A section of the bleachers fell at i the recent Butler-Notre Dame game j and a thorough inspection was de- ! manded by the high school officials for the tourney. Supporters of the sixteen finalists will be seated in the temporary bleachers, 300 tickets being alloted each school, according to Fred Gorman, ticket manager. Muncie fans took a balcony section numbering 1,500 seats. Other requests soon exhausted the Saturday supply of 15,000 and early today a complete sell-out was announced. No “standing-room” tickets will be sold, it was announced, and only holders of reserved seats will be admitted. A rehearsal of the ushers’ staff was conducted todpy by Ammerman. Boys from each of the j local higs schools comprise the staff j and the problem of reserving all j seats will be attempted for the first i time in Indiana high school tournament history.
