League Officials Draft Southwestern Schedule The Southwestern league season will open -with at home May 1, playing against the Eureka Oilers. The second game the series -was transferred from Bmporia to Eureka to give both clubs the benefit a week opening.

The teams will re, turn to Emporia for the final game the series. The schedule was drawn up by Hoy K. Hart, president of the Independence baseball club at Independence, and Clarence Mooney, secretary of the Southwestern league. It has been sent to all the clubs for approval, Mani ager Moran saicl the schedule was 7 not entirely satisfactory. 5un i "Vio play the first game American League Cliieago i Detroit 4 Boston Phllartolphiii.

Washington York Cleveland 3t. XjOulti Kansas City stars. American association fans fig- uib that thu in that clr- inlt is going to be Iho hottest one in many a year. The Kansas City nines, winners last Hoaxon. are picked by many critics to rnpoat but only after a gruelling battle.

1 Tho K. C. lineup was hard hit by the sale of (jienn Wriglu. shortstop, to the Pirates. The club bosses hope, however that out of two or three good new men picked up as successor to Wright who ran bold up (hi: nhort- iield job In good will be.

Bunny Jlrief and the other; K. Sluggers, Manager Hud Branom, Ulena Wright and yiojyd Scott, to say nothing of the mentioned Mr. Zinn. backed Co the Stirling pitching crew. St.

Paul, runner-up last season, was hard lilt over the off months by deals which carried some of itsj stars to the big show. Tom pitching acu who won 31 for the fcitite, is now with the Clnci Rods. UonznlcH, who carried the catching burden in two-thirds of thu games, was bought by the Reds the ideo being to turn Gonzales over to the Brooklyn Dodgers in a later deal. The Saints also need a third outfielder. Louif-vllle, wrecked by the departure of Wuyland Dean, pitching ace and ICurio Combs, slug- King outfielder, will do well to land high an third this campaign, it is generally conceded.

Combs hit ut a gait last season. No team can recover in a hurry from tho departure of a man with a bat like that. To my mind the Indianapolis club due to give both the Saints and the C. lilues a run for their money. Uonie Bush, who returned to his home town as manager of the Indian team, has molded a formidable outfit into shape.

He has Ray Schmandl on flrsl. This man alone will give the team added punch and defensive strength. Schmandt is getting a chance to play first regularly after four or five seasons in the ma- jors as a bench warmer and utility man. He is making the most of his chance to shine. Bush himscU adds int'iolding strength to the club.

Donic announced rather half-heartedly to me down in Florida this spring that he didu't intend to play every day. Go on! Try to keep him out of the lineup. Tho sale of the Toledo club to O'Brien, former Giant official, and the consequent close affiliation with McOraw, bodes well for the Toledo club but it cannot be ex peeled to jump from the cellar to attic over night. Association fans haven't forgotten Kansas City's spectacular victory over tho Baltimore Orioles in the "Little World's Scries" last full when the Kansees won out in nine-game clash. Jimmy Zinn turned the team back with one lone hit iu one of the game.

The Kansas City sluggers hammered their way to victory in most of the others. The victory made the A. A. fans realize they were seeing sonic mighty sweet baseball last season. They're looking for some more this campaign.

The. schedule, calls for iiiue Sunday games for each, team, and two holiday games. Emporia plaj's Eureka two games in Bm- poria July 4 and closes the season against Eureka, Labor day in Emporia.

Tho players have been going through daily practico of throwing the ball and stepping in trout of grounders, but today Moran plans to have his pitchers cut loose and throw curves to the batters. "It is time wo find out who can hit and who Moran said, "and see if TVQ can't help them out." Moran is well pleased with his club and thinks it will cim- pare favorably with other clubs in tho league. A few stragglers arc expected in Emporia today and with their coming, Moran will pick his team. who is trying out at short is a likely prospect for the club," Moran said, "lie Is nearly as fast as Wright of the Pittsburgh team, and with a little training, I believe he will develop into just as good a man as Wright." Fnhrenhorst is another good ball player, according to Moran.

"Tho catch he made Sunday would make many of the big leaguers sit up and take notice." Moran plans to carry three or by 16 pins in a close match with (be American Legion last night on tho Y. M. C. A. alloys.

Karrfil (United Press JSdltor) New Jork. April 22. When Lawson Kobertson'K nuniB was mentioned as worthy candidate tor tho position as head coach of the American Olympic team, it was suggested from mauy competent sources that aerioiis mis- lake would be made Hobertsou should not bu appointed. He has lieeu named as thu head coach and be didn't hesitatu a moment to show that tho flatter- ng things said about him were nol the idle of kind friends. In tho short time that has been on the job.

ho lias instituted two progressive pieces of constructive building that jound to have the most beueficial results. Robertson has had plenty of experience, both as an Olympic ithletc and as a teacher uf uth- etics and a trainer at tho University Pennsylvania. He knew 'rom that experience that his most Important job was to curb the ath- otes who knew their jobs and loach tho ones who had something to learn. Some writers in recent weeks, who lean to tha belief that all is lost for the American team that iocs to Paris next summer, have been lamenting about tho failure of veteran track, and field men to follow sensational form in tho big indoor meets ot Iho past season. There are no new records of importance and, tn most cases, the leading stars failed- to approach time and records they should have made by reason of past performances.

They didn't do it, because Robertson took, it upon himself to counsel them against it. He warned them that they might sacrifice good points at Paris this summer and they might lose places on the team if they burned themselves out on the boards or threw themselves off by injuries. He pointed I out to them that an Olympic' championship was of far moro enduring fame to them than a trick indoor record, that might not lust, more than a year. The disappointing form shown during the indoor season was the result of Robertson's sound advice rather than an nlnrmlng slump in tho ability of our See this beautiful SELLERS ffjr 1 HP 1 1 Katchen 1 able Just as finely (is handsomely finished, an urn the famous Sellers Cabinets.
