By Eddie Ash Casey Stengel Led Stormy Life in A. A. a a a Picked First One Year, He Landed Last

gROOKLYN fans have seen Casey Stengel in the role of player and also in the role of coach, but that isn’t the half of it. He is the manager of the Dodgers now, and along about June, if the club fails to click, the Flatbush rooters are going to view some antics they never thought existed. Perhaps the big league umpires will use their authority and tame Casey, but he is the type that demands the “last say” and American Association fans will bear witness to that assertion. Asa matter of fact, efforts to squelch Casey in the A. A. ruined a lot of summers for the arbiters. One spring in the A. A. the Toledo club on paper looked like the best minor league nine in the country and all of the experts picked the Hens to cop the pennant. The Toledo pastimers read all about the cake walk that was facing them and proceeded to just go along and play out the season. The championship was in the bag. The athletes laughed off club training rules. They finished last. It was a sour season for Stengel, the Hen manager. He kicked up dust, tore up the turf, shadow boxed and talked himself blue in the face. He was the wildest thing out of B cage that year. a a a a a a STENGEL took over the Toledo helm in 1926 and piloted the Hen flock to fourth place. In 1927 he got the boys “in the mood” and they annexed the A. A. title in 1927 and defeated Buffalo in the “little world's series.” The following season, 1928, when Indianapolis grabbed off the pennant, the Hens wound up in sixth position, and in 1929 they wound up in the cellar. Stengel lifted the Hens to third place in 1930, but in 1931 the club fell into bad ways again and closed out in eighth position, a poor last. In 1932 the Cleveland Americans rescued the Hens with financial support and appointed Bib Falk to succeed Stengel as pilot. Falk lifted the team to fourth in 1932, and last year, under Steve O'Neill, the Hens finished in a tie for fifth. Casey Stengel is out of the old school of baseball and it’s possible the Brooklyn players will accede to his wishes and play both for results and amusement. He will supply the fans with laughs and taunts if the pastimers succeed in getting the base hits. The old boy is hard to equal as an entertainer when his ball team is out in front. a a a a a a MAX CAREY, deposed Brooklyn boss, has the sweetest of all jobs. He will be paid $12,500 this year for doing exactly nothing. The Dodgers will live up to Carey s contract and shell out. Max blames Brooklyn and New York newspaper men for the loss of his position and it does seem that he is entitled to a grievance some place along the line. This column is not familiar with the “tunneling” that took place, but it's a dead cinch Casey Stengel would not lift a hand to oust a superior. Criticism of the Brooklyn ouster of Carey rests in the delay. Another baseball season is about to begin and Carey is left out on a limb insofar as landing another managerial post is concerned. Paid in full is okeh as far as it goes, but there's the matter of principle involved. Max Carey attended Concordia college at Ft. Wayne, Ind., and he was a star for years with Pittsburgh in the National League, his specialty being base running. a a a a a SPORTS scribes of Columbus, 0., finally gave up on Noble Kizer going to Ohio State as head football coach, but they held out until the very last. They devoted many columns to football on the theory there would be no hitch in the signing of Purdue's brilliant grid mentor. Long stories appeared describing the Notre Dame system and a complete record of Purdue football under Kizer was given to Columbus readers. Lew Byrer, in the Columbus Citizen, penned the following article, describing the "glowing” opportunity: “I believe a real opportunity to become a second Knute Rockne is awaiting whoever accepts the post of Ohio State coach. It's a bit hard to understand why men like Clark Shaughnessy. Noble Kizer. Dana Bible, Major Neyland and Red Blaik hesitated about accepting that opportunity. Os course the real reason is that Ohio State has become known as a hot-seat for coaches. Too many of them remember what happened to Dr. Wilce and Sam Willaman here. But look at the setup. Ohio State has one of the finest stadiums in the country and one of the largest schools. Next fall Ohio State plays Indiana, Illinois, Colgate. Northwestern, Western Reserve, Chicago, Michigan and lowa. In 1935 Notre Dame will be added to the Buckeye schedule. In 1937 Southern California will be added. Considerable work also has been done toward adding a really outstanding eastern team, the Army in fact. When that is brought about Ohio State will have an annual schedule calling for five Big Ten teams and Notre Dame, Southern California and Army each year.” Boy, page Professor Pritchett of the Carnegie Foundation! a a a a a a THE Milwaukee Brewers will offer plenty of color this summer as long as Clarence Fieber sticks around to supply the brilliant pigment. Fieber is the six foot, four inch southpaw hurler recently sent to the Brews by the Chicago White Sox, and he has an eccentric cross-fire delivery. Fieber was plucked by the White Sox in the spring of 1932, out of the University of San Francisco. When he arrived, Manager Fonseca remarked that he had a notion to shoot him right under the gun that afternoon. “Okay,” replied Fieber. “I’ve been on the train four days, but I’m ready to go just as soon as you give me the signals.” He got his baptism shortly thereafter in the second game of a double-header before 20.000 fans. He went in as relief, following Ted Lyons and Red Faber, pitched two hitless innings and was recorded as the winning pitcher in his first pro battle. Fieber did not stay long with the Sox. He was shipped to Oakland in the Coast League where he won eight and lost eleven for a seventh place team. Last season he was returned to Oakland and won five and lost nine for a fifth-placer. Fans get a real kick out of Fieber's wind-up when a left-hander is batting. He strides almost to first base and then doubles back to shoot the ball toward the plate.

Bulldogs Face Irish Butler Cagers Out to Even Count in Long Net Series Tonight. Butler’s Bulldogs will be out to even the count in their long cage series when they tackle Notre Dame's powerful quintet at the Fairview fieldhouse at 9 tonight. The largest crowd of the season is expected to witness the struggle, twenty-second of the old rivalry in which the Irish hold a one-game edge. Tony Hinkle sent his local warriors through a light tapering off drill yesterday in final preparation for the encounter, and will have full strength available for the fray. Highly-touted stars will be opposed in tonight’s game, with Ed Krause, all-America center, leading the Irish, and Frank Baird, lanky guard, pacing the locals. Johnny Ford, ex-Cathedral flash, is expected to see much action for the upstate five. Scott Armstrong and Toy Jones, Hinkle’s sophomore reserve stars, also are expected to play important roles in the Bulldog attack. Probable starting lineups: Butler. Notre Dame. Reissner F Jordan Batts F Voegele Demmary C Krause Baird G Crowe Parrish G Ireland Officials—Referee. Frank Lane (Cincinnati); umpire. John Shommer (Chicago). DRAKE HERE MONDAY The Butler Bulldogs will take on the Drake university five at the Fairview fieldhouse Monday night and about 800 carriers of The Indianapolis Times have been invited as the guests of Tony Hinkle. Butler athletics director and basketball coach. Nine Shatter Par in Open By Times Special TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 24.—Nine professionals who shattered par in the opening round of the $2,000 Gasparilla open paced the big field of links stars in the second eighteen holes of play today. Willie MacFarlane, Paul Runyan and Joe Turnesa topped the 104 linksmen with sparkling 665, four under par. Denny Shute, defending champion, and O. W. Beaupre of Detroit had 67 each, and Horton Smith and Ky Laffoon were next with 68. Dick Metz and Mike Turnesa completed the par-shat-tering group with 69 each. Butler Bows; Sears Shines Three brilliant triumphs by Ray Sears, diminutive Butler flyer, failed to give the Bulldog trackmen a victory yesterday, the Phillipsmen bowing to Western State Teachers, 50 to 45. Sears, after winning the mile and two mile events in handy fashion, came back to smash the fieldhouse record for the 880-yard run, traveling the distance in 1:58. Butler won six firsts in the eleven events, but the invaders scored a slam in the 440-yard dash and captured the mile relay, final event, to break a deadlock in the score. Crispus Attucks Winner Senior members of the Crispus Attucks high school basketball team thumped Brightwood A. C. last night, 23 to 17, with King and White setting the pace with seven points each.
