‘GIANTS?’ SAYS CASEY, ‘POOH!’
‘Let ’Em Come Around,’ Roars Dodgers’ Pilot “Any Time Bill Terry's Boys Need Batting Practice 111 Let Van Mungo Toss 'Em Up,’ Says Casey With Sly Touch of Sarcasm for Polo Grounders. BY HENRY M'I.EMORE l nlted Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Feb. 24—Mr. Stengel's first official act after agreeing to ride herd on the mavericks that are the Brooklyn Dodgers was to toss off a couple of Martini cocktails. His second was to make a bet with this department, payable in October. Tht best involves Mr. Stengel's weight on that date. Today he weighs 175. and if he is within fourteen pounds of that in October we get five dollars. According to Mr. Stengel there isn't any more chance of my getting paid than there is of Bill Terry and his Giants failing to learn that the Brooklyns are still very much in the National League. ‘•You see he said, if the Dodgers :
get hot and finish up there in the first division. I'll easily weigh in the 190’s. And if they go into reverse and land down there among the sweet peas and Cincinnati, I’ll be a flyweight. "You won’t have to look at the standings of the clubs during the season to find out how the Dodgers are faring. All you'll have to do is to take a look at me. I m the human barometer. "I lose a pound when mv shortstop muffs one or one of my men strike out And I gain two when somebody gets a two-bagger. "That's what Max Carey was talking about when he told reporters down in Miami that he didn’t believe my strength would hold out as manager. He knows that I suffer the agony of the damned when my club takes a licking. When the Giants lick us I go through the tortures of the double damned.” That for You. Bill! What did Mr. Stengel think of Bill Terry going around asking if the Dodgers were still in the league? “I’ve got two answers for that. One is that, if Bill thinks so poorly of us. why does he always manage to have Hubbell ready to pitch against us? If we're such a bunch of tramps why does he waste his Sunday pitcher? “My second answer is that any time Bill feels like the Giants need a little batting practice he's welcome to bring 'em around and I’ll let Van Mungo throw 'em up.” For your information, and in order that Mr. Stengel's fine sarcasm won't be wasted. Van Mungo licked the Giants five times last season. They couldn't get a foul off him. They’ve Got to Work Mr. Stengel feels he’s going to help the Dodgers Ask him for a reason for this belief and he'll tell you that he always has improved the teams he's managed. There was Worcester in the Eastern League for example They were in sixth place when he moved in, and two months later he had 'em in the first division They handed him an eighth place Toledo club, and the next year he won the pennant. He doesn't promise any pennant for Brooklyn next year, but he's going to have a fighting. hustling club. "I san’t help but have that sort of club.” he says. “If the boys won’t work, and work hard, they’ll travel from dear old Flatbush in large numbers, and travel fast.” Redlegs Land College Star By Times Special CINCINNATI, Feb. 24.—The Cincinnati baseball club is scooping up the college diamond talent.

Lou Tackles Jewish Star
T Jf JfP* '
THE “one and onl y ” Lou 'The Great Plummer, rough Baltimore husky, will return to the city Tuesday night to strut his stuff in the main go on the Hercules A. C. wrestling card. Plummer will clash with Abe (Little Giant) Coleman, flashy New York mat artist who claims the Jewish heavyweight championship and who introduced the “kangaroo kick” to the Armory’ audience here last Tuesday. The bout has created sharp interest, especially because of the difference in weight and height of the two stars. Plummer scales 230 and is six feet tall, while Coleman weighs 200 and stands only five feet, two inches. Tuesday's semi-windup is figured to provide more than the ordinary action when Sol Slagel,23o, of Topeka, Kan., tackles Pete Schuh. 240, Houston. Tex. Schuh is rated a rough and tumble grappler. He recently defeated Paul Harper who is well known here. Aprelim is to be arranged. 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 sepred a slam in the 440-yard dash and captured the mile relay, final event, to break a deadlock in the score.

Layton Is Cue Champ Stocky Missourian Defeats Welker Cochran, 50-23, in Title Match. By United Press NEW YORK. Feb. 24—Johnny Layton, a stocky, florid Missourian with curly red hair, today held his eleventh world three-cushion billiard championship, another gold meaal and about $2,500 prize money, largely because of stubborn confidence in his own “diamond” system of play. Playing with the co6l precision and mathemtical accuracy of a civil engineer. Layton wrested the title from 37-year-old Welker Cochran of San Francisco. 50 to 23, in fortytwo innings. Cochran never had a chance. He was unnerved by Layton’s professorlike calculations and by the perfection of his safety play—by the almost unfathomable “leaves.” Urges Angle System The new champion, using the diamond or angle system of play, which he formulated in 1910 in the face of general scoffing, took command in the first inning with a cluster of four. He was never threatened. Cochran fidgeted in his chair. He smoked one cigaret after another. At times he seemed dazed. It was the last regulation match of the twelve-man tourney which stretched over nineteen days, the most closely contested championpionship in history. They were tied for first place with eight victorie; and two defeats when the match started. Cochran’s defeat dropped him into a tie for second place with Allen Hall of Chicago. Hall and Cochran will play off the tie for second money today. Willie Hoppe of New York and Jay 'Bozeman of California will play off their fourth-place deadlock. Wins About §2,500 First place drew $1,500 prize money and 15 per cent of the tourney’s net gate which gave Layton about SI,OOO more. Second place gets $l,lOO and 14 per cent of the gate. After the first frame, Layton booster his advantage to 7-0 in the third and to 12-1 in the seventh. He made five in that inning. At the end of the fifteenth he was ahead 24-4. In the sixteenth, Cochran called for anew set of balls, but Layton refused to have his cue ball changed. Referee McElligott- upheld Layton. Cochran’s high run of four came in the twenty-first. WINS ON FOUL PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 24.—A foul gave Everett Marshall, Colorado, a decision over Sammy Stein, Newark, N. J., here last night when the latter was disqualified for using an illegal flying tackle.

—Conservation — CROW APPEARS TO REMEMBER FOR ONE WEEK Useless to Set Shooting Blind in Same Place Until Time Passes. This is the concluding: article of a series of two on crows. BY WILLIAM F. COLLIN’S Times Special Writer Neither can you fool a crow,! much. Take your place in a well built blind. Use your favorite weapon; personally, I prefer a 20gauge automatic shotgun with the long barrel full choke and at times when I feel cocky, a Colt officer’s model .22 caliber pistol. Garrison of Delphi uses an automatic .22 rifle and is sudden death to anything flying within 100 feet. Get a great horned owl from the conservation department and have Lee Winders mount it for you as he did one for me. The wings flop and the head turns in a realistic fashion when you pull a string from the blind; the decoy out from the blind on a snag in a good shooting j stance, preferably near the border of a wood lot which crows are known to use and if at all possible. j within fifty feet of a high, bare, j snaggy old tree. Try. if possible, to get your plunder arranged and get into your blind without being seen by a crow. Then! settle down and try to look like a leaf. This will take a little practice. Appear Suddenly There is not a crow in sight, none can be heard. But just as gulls materialize Thurston-fashion out of nothingness when you chuck overboard a cod’s liver, suddenly an uproar decends upon your owl out of vacancy. "Blaw, blaw-caw-caca-ca-ca!” All hell breaks loose and you can begin firing. In the excitement of the moment you can get in a nice group of shots and the crows do not seem to mind; the falling birds must appear to them as victims of the owl. Talk about wing shooting. I have seen an octogenarian jump out of a blind when the ruckus was over and do a double buffalo. Thirty minutes earlier he was griping about how badly his lumbar neuritis felt in contact with the cold ground. But don’t think you can “twotime” a crow 7 . Move your freight to another blind, another wood lot, next day. In a week or so you may return, as that seems to be about the time limit of a crow's memory. Fight Wind Resistance For a change, find the lines of flight of crows returning to their rookery about 4 p. m. Pick a day with a strong wind blowing against the flight. You can always select a spot where the wind blows against them if you know where the rookery is located. In the morning the crows leave their roost in cartwheel fashion and return at night along the radii of the 'wheel. Some place in the circle, the wind is against the flight and in that spot the crows are flying low, taking advantage of every ground obstruction that breaks the force of the wind. Select your shooting stand ■with an eye to concealment and ability to move laterally as much as a half mile quickly. A flight passes over in gun shot. You pick two or three out of it. Watch down the flight for a shift to the right or left. By crow telepathy even those birds out of sight know something is getting messy up ahead and they are on the qui vive. When the flight shifts over, be ready to get under it again. The memory of you lingers in that flight’s mind several days. They won’t come anywhere near the old ; line next evening or the next. Saluted as Worthy Foe Whenever you hear a crow say, 1 “Ca-ca, ca-ca,” get out of your hiding place and go home. You owe me a quarter for that tip for it will save you many a cramped ache. Some crow has seen you and there he will sit telling the world about your perfidy. I once shot a crow by That is, the circumstances were accidental. One crow flew over me while I was walking at the edge of the timber. He must have been worried about either his light or his black bill. I shot him. His mate circled out of range and commenced : a seductive calling, getting farther and farther away. Finally I lost sound of her. I went back to pick up the dead crow and he was gone. The calling ! was done to lead him away to safety. He followed her guidance; there can be no doubt of that, for the next day I found him with a broken wing 200 rods east of where he was hit, the mate still watching over him. Black magician, I take my hat off to you: you have outwitted me far oftener than I have slain you. You are a worthy foe.
