JOPLIN GLOBE, SUNDAY, APRIL 14, 1929. 9. Miners Show Strength Enough to Repeat in 1929 Western Association Race Twins and Midgets Seen as Chief Threats This Season Springfield Has Moulded Strong Club With St. Louis Browns' Help, and Detroit Tigers Have Provided Fort Smitli With Potent Shows Signs of Being Oklahoma Teams Question Marks. with more balanced fielding strength, probably more batting power and virtually the same pitching force as in 1928, Joplin's Miners should be leading the field at the close of the Western Association drive, to be launched April 23 in Springfield, Independence and Musltogee, local obresvers believe.

Joplln is stronger and younger than when It won the championship last year, it Is pointed out; recruits have furnished necessary reinforcements, and the morale of the squad is good. But as the Miners are a more powerful squadron, so have the other entries built stronger battalions and competition Is bound to be keen, particularly on the east and south. Hemmed From Two Sides. On the east are the Midget rivals at Springfield, where Manager Joe Mathes and the St. Louis Browns Iftve built the Queen City club into one which shows improvement in every way over the disappointing 1928 aggregation.

Down south are the Fort Smith where President Clifton A. (Runt) Marr and the Detroit Tigers have assembled a crew which in every respect promises to uphold the honors oU that city, which last season lost out in the split season finals by inches. At Independence, Marty Purtell and his band of Producers will do damage enough to pennant hopes, as attested by their pre-season assault of the Miners last week In an exhibition test, In which, they hammered out eighteen blows. The two Oklahoma and the unknown quantities in the league package. Muskogee slipped into the starting lineup by a hair's breadth, but the club has been whipped into shape by Manager J.

F. Smithson, who lays much of his hope on a potent and effective pitching staff. Whether the 1929 Chiefs will better the fielding and batting records of their predecessors remains to be seen, but in hurling anything that could happen to the Oklahomans would be an improvement over last year. Shawnee spent a great deal of time getting a manager named, but, that task finished, has rushed ahead with Its diamond plans, and the new entry in the league should provide as much competition as did Topeka last season, which club It replaced, with the St. Louis dinals still operating the playing end of the business.

Five right-handers and a southpaw are in line for duty with the newcomers, with a scarcity of dependable infield material. Guy Froman, veteran first baseman, Is about the only player in the Rob- Ins' ranks who has had much experience, but the crowd of twenty now on hand is expected to be almost doubled by this week. Springfield demonstrated hitting, fielding and pitching power with the Browns last week, which the Americans won by 4 to 2, although outhlt by the Midgets, such a performance against major leaguers Is bound to cause a stir in the association, and when Joplin goes there for an exhibition today the Miners will take the field with their strongest possible lineup. The game will be the last until next Sunday for Joplin, when Independence repays the call the Miners made last week. Something of the respective merits of the two clubs may be seen following today's battle at Midgettown unless rain interferes.

Cliff McKay I.eave9. Cliff McKay, promising young infielder who tried out with the Miners this year and last, packed up and left for home yesterday with a lame arm. His throwing arm, which deserted him last season, returned this year, and the jinx caused the second sacker to "give up baseball forever." His departure left Johnny Mitchell and John Mattinkly fighting for the second base post, and cut the infield prospects to three. Dawson and Wilson, shortstops, and Mattingly are the only Infield rookies now left, and Roger Fine of Nevada is the only newcomer who shows promise of sticking in the outfield. Fine has displayed both batting and fielding talent and shows every indication of "sticking." The catching department still is unsettled in its three-way tussle, with Frank Sidle, John Senofsky and Luke Corbus still on the job.

Which two of the trio will still be DEFEAimiNGTON Victory Is Featured by Kosky's New Missouri In the Quarter-Mile. Columbia, April The University of Missouri swamp ed Washington university under an 82-to-49 score here today in a dual track meet featured by the record performance of William Kosky in the quarter-mile dash. The opener of the Tiger at-home outdoor campaign saw a thrilling race between Koaky and his team mate, Keith Hursley, members of the crack mile relay team that holds the Big Six record. After trailing most of the way, Kosky led Hursley by inches at the tape and established a new Missouri mark in 48.8 seconds. It was Hursley's own record tha.t fell The Tigers swept all nine points in the 100-yard dash, the quarter- mile two-mile run and low hurdles, while the Bears were able to pick up only six points In the running events.

Missouri also took in the first two places In the run, 220-yard dash and the high hurdles. Henry Rosenheim, 1928 Tiger champion, stepped both dashes in front of the field registering a 10-second race in the 100, and 22-seconds flat in the furlong. Don Dawson, understudy of Earl Deimund, last year, led his mentor to the tape in both hurdle races. Washington blanked the Mis- sourlans in the discus, tossing and took the first two places in the high and broad jumps. BIckel was the master of both the discus and javelin throws, picking up ten points for Washington In those events.

Wrestling Bput Booked. Kansas City, April Kola Kwariani, Russian heavyweight wrestler, and Pat O'Shock- er, Kansas City, were matched today for a bout here April 22. Pinehurst, N. April Playing the superfine brand of golf that brought him through a stellar field of international golf- era to the final 36-hole match, George Voigt of New York today, won the twenty-ninth annual men'i North and South golf chartipion- ship, defeating W. C.

Fownes, of Pittsburgh, for the title, 10 and 8. It was the third consecutive title for Voigt. In his match with Fownes, the Metropolitan star covered the first 18 holes in 72 strokes to stand 4 up. Going out again, he ran his lead up to nine holes on the first nine and then holed a birdie three on the tenth to take the match. Fownes, wjnner of the national amateur championship in 1910, did not display as steady a game today as he did in other matches of the tournament, muffing numerous shots.

"This race, the thirtieth for the American League, will be one of the best contested in the history of the organization," Barnard said.

Heydler has no prediction to make of the strength of the eight clubs, but confidently expects a record season for the league as a "It would be hazardous for me to speculate at this time on the comparative playing strength of the eight clubs in our league or classify the contenders," he said, "And it would be presumptuous to undertake to weigh the strength of these clubs, for all of them have made changes and additions since last season which they confidently expect to be beneficial."
