Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK. April 21.—Operations are like columns and taller girl dances. They lose a lot of their bang if you don't mix them up. I remember back in my freshman days in the hospital I used to get plenty of attention, and at times a load of sympathy. I mn to *y the heed doc would come up to the room end ek how the beezer was getting along end after I would tell him he would admit that never In his many years of service had he seen a more Interesting case and It was amazing to him how I stood up under it so uncomplainingly. and he supposed this could be ascribed wholly to a rare philosophical spirit, and the pity was that there was so little of this sort of thing In life. Why there were some people who came Into the hospital, he would say, and to hear them carry on you would think they were dying on their feet, while I was a mighty sick man, if the facts were really known, and not a peep out of me. As I say, this was back in my freshman days at the hospital when everything was gloriously new and strange and 1 was fired with the old up-and-at-'em-stuff, eager to make the varsity and to crash skull and bones. Looking back on those days now I can see that I was pretty gullible, and that the head doc was feeding me a line. nan AT any rate when I went back to the hospital this time to finish out my senior term and get my degree which would make me a P. O. r S. 8., meaning of course, a Pushover For Sawbones, I found that I was just another piece of unfinished routine business as far as the hospital personnel was concerned. The head doc looked at me and said: "Holy Antrum I Are you back again?" Nor did It strike me that there was any great cordiality In the greeting I received from Miss 8.. the nurse on the ninth floor, who by chance happened to be the same young lady who had commended me back In the early days as an Ideal patient. "If all our patients were like you.” she said (if I remember her words correctly) ’’Our work would be nothing short of bliss. Os course I had gone out of my way to be nice to Miss B. and the other nurses as well. Not so much. I hasten to add. because they were young and easy on the eve. X Instinctively knew that I should do something to lighten their burdens, no matter how great the sacrifice. I told them a lot of screamingly funny gtorles about Dempsey and Ruth and Sande. I told them about Tunney as I know him. I mean the real Tunney. Tunnev the man and In a general way 1 Imagine I did more than a little to put them right on a number of vital matters, touching on the sports world. Considering this and that there was. I thought, ample reason why I should have been received with some faint show of welcome when I returned to the hospital this time, and so when Miss 8.. looked up from her book as I passed her desk on the way to my room and remarked: “I hope you’ve learned some new gags.” I w’as a bit taken back. This didn't seem precisely the thing to say or the way to say It. Not to an old customer anyway. nan BUT this slight was as nothing compared to the irrreverent indifference with which my case was received in the abbatoir or surgical room to supply the trade euphemism. I didn’t even get a touch of the professional commisseratlon that is always bestowed upon paying guests. I was no longer a novelty around there and apparently it takes novelty to spark the docs. Or It may be that they had Just got plain weary of tinkering around with my smeller. Over a stretch of four years they had done everything except •aulp it for trans-Atlantic flying. Well, at any rate, my big dramatic finally comes and I am bundled up In a white canvas sack which must make me look very silly Indeed, and I am rolled down stairs. I am lying on a flat table-llke contrivance on wheels and the nurse who Is driving the thing gives It a disdainful push, saying to the docs, ‘‘Here divide tills among you,” or something to that delightful effect. Apparently It Is not a very busy day, because the docs make a wild rush for me and the scramble reminds me of the afternoon the Dartmouth boys pulled down the Harvard goalposts, except that the tactics were a little more on the side of gentility. nan IT turns out that this is all a lot of waste motion because the docs are hoping to grab hold of a new and exciting problem and what do they come across but an old offender with three previous convictions and if there was anything like a Baume's law In hospitals I would already be a lifer. Naturally, when they see It Is a guy who Is lust a confirmed and hopeless hospital addict they are not Interested at all and I guess I would be there yet still tied up In that laundry bag If one of the Junior Internes doesn’t get a yen for a little infield practice. Still and all I would not be putting on the souawk at this time if the Johnnie who gives me the sleeping stuff does not sav: ''Get your mind off the operation. Think of something else,. This will make it easier.” And maybe It would. But what do I start thinking of—or dreaming of, or something—but Stribllng and Schmeling! You can 6ee that when I go In for punishment. I am no piker.

ROBINS AND REDS TURN IN FIRST WINS OF SEASON
Harper Is Named Irish Director of Athletics
Former Notre Dame Football Coach, Who Introduced Shift and Started Rockne on Road to Fame, Succeeds Late Pupil. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Tress Staff CorrespanCent CHICAGO, April 21.—Notre Dame has completed Its organization to carry on the work of the late Knute K. Rockne with the appointment of Jesse C. Harper as director of athletics. Harper, who was head football coach at Notre Dame for five years before Rockne succeeded him, will take over nis new duties May 1. He
will do no coaching, but will supervise the direction of all athletics. The coaching jobs will remain in the hands of the men already selected: Football, Heartly (Hunk) Anderson, senior coach, and Jack Chevigny, junior coach; basketball and baseball, George E. Keogan; track, John P. Nicholson. Harper has not been in direct contact with athletics since he resigned at Notre Dame in 1918, but he always maintained a keen interest in them. During the last football season, Rockne and Harper were perhaps closer together than for a number of years. Harper attended the Notre DameCarnegie Tech football game at South Bend as Rockne's guest. Afterward he Jokingly remarked: “Knute, you make me look worse every year.” It was Harper who first brought the shift to Notre Dame when he became head coach in 1913. He
;
Harper
learned the shift from A. A. Stagg when he played half back at the University of Chicago. It was Harper who introduced the forward pass into the game as a real offensive weapon. Harper’s first Notre Dame team, with Rockne as captain and end
and Charles Dorais as quarter back, won the first major intersectional victory for the west over the east by defeating Army, 35 to 13, in 1913. In five years as football coach, Harper's teams won thirty-three games and lost five. Army and Nebraska beat the Irish twice and Yale once during Harper's regime. Harper was graduated from Chicago in 1904 and was football coach at Wabash college, Crawfordsville, Ind., for three years before going to Notre Dame. Harper left Notre Dame In 1918 to take over his ranch interests ,at Sitka, Kan., near Wichita, and less than 100 miles from where Rockne met his death last month in an airplane accident. It is understood that he will receive a salary of $15,000, although the Rev. Charles L. O’Donnell, president of the university, did not mention salary or term of contract in making the announcement.

Remodeled Brewers Off to Swift Start

dlans. Making a clean sweep of a series at Toledo, the Milwaukee boys crept into the A. A. flag position Monday while the Saints and Colonels were held idle by rain in Louisville. Previous to Monday’s s c h edule the Brewers, ers, Apostles and Louisville were in a three-way tie. Milwaukee has

Moreover, there is Seacap Christensen, the A. A. clown, who expects to do some sideshow entertaining during a four-day visit at Wash-i
two triples, one home run and six singles. When you learn that the entire Cleveland club has secured but seventy-nine hits, you begin to realize just what a part he has played in the Indians’ attack and why the good burghers of Cleveland are a trifle daffy over the youngster. His best day came last Saturday, when he batted an even 1.000, getting three doubles, a triple and single. He followed this blasting performance with a homer and single on Sunday and a triple and single Monday. His coolness under fire and easygoing nonchalance stamp Vosmik as a baseball natural. On his second trip up Monday he was forced to hit the dirt to avoid one of Waite Hoyt's fast ones. Unperturbed, the youngster arose, dusted himself and slammed Hoyt’s next offering into the centerfield stands for a triple. So far, he has been a hitter without a weakness. High balls, low balls, fast balls, slow balls, curved balls—all have met the same fate. He apparently does not care whether he faces left-handed or righthanded pitchers. He hits to all fields. Spring hitters have a habit of drooping badly by the time June or July rolls around, and that goes double for rookie sensations. But

ington park. Christy got three hits at Toledo Monday, including a double, and is ready to knock off a few headspins to celebrate his stick work. The series finale with the Millers here Monday was washed out by showers and the Indians enjoyed a vacation, an event welcomed by the mound staff. The Minneapolis pastimers departed for Columbus to battle the Red Birds today. The two tilts with the Millers were divided and the postponed contest of (Monday will be played as part of a double-header on Aug. 12. Casey Stengel’s Hens were dwelling in the cellar today as a result of being kicked over by Milwaukee. Dinty Gearin squeezed through for a win Monday, 5 to 4. Columbus downed Kansas City, 4 to 1, Smith and Crawford of the Red Birds walloping circuit drives. It was an eight-inning fray, a rainstorm halting further action. The Blues were held to five hits by A1 Baker, who received sensational support, while Bill Swift, K. C. hurler, also was in form, but his defense was weak. Jack Hendricks was in Cincinnati Monday trying to land a pitcher for the Indians off the staff of Dan Howley’s Reds, but the visit was vithout success.
Vosmik, according to many experts who have watched him work, will be in there belting ’em out in September at a respectable clip. No one expects him to' hold a .636 pace, but many predict he’ll be well up toward .400. Vosmik, according to his friends, is one of those baseball rarities who plays for the love of the game. It is no secret that his salary is considerably less than he asked for. After the youngster’s smashing performance Saturday a party in the press box shouted to General Manager Billy Evans: “Well, Billy, take a good look at your 1932 star holdout.” “Not Vosmik,” answered Evans. “I could slash his salary right now and he would take it without a squawk so long as we let him play.” I. U. HELD TCf" TIE By Times Special EVANSTON, 111., April 21.—Although Lefty Veller, Indiana’s southpaw ace, held Northwestern to two hits, his own error and wildness in the third inning enabled the Wildcates to gain a 1-to-l tie with the Hoosiers in the seven-inning opening Big Ten diamond game of the season.

While Tracy has been a consistent winner in feature bouts here for some time, there are many close followers of the sport who are inclined to believe that the Brightwood feather has had it rather “soft” in the matter of opponents, and these same fans are likewise of the opinion that Kid Woods has been underrated.
