1 on our ball club this year who
have nicknames. Believe it or
not, I'm superstitious or some-
thing about the matter. 1 believe
in color and most colorful ball
players have some sort of odd
monicker tacked onto ’em.

T AST year we had only one or
L two players at the start of the
season who had a nickname. When
the season ended, we had a club
which was almost devoid of nick-
names. Think back over the
lineup. “Aleck" and "Russ”—
both shortenings of real names—
were the nearest things to kiddin’
monikers. —:---—----.
In contrast to this situation,
let us go back to the days when
we were known from New York
to Caleyforney and from Ore-
gon to the Florida Keys as be-
ing some sort of a baseball trust
or something. Cast back in
your memory and dig up the
nicknames of those ball clubs.
DOSSUM MOORE, Big Boy Kraft,
L Dutch Hoffman, Peewee Tave-
ner, Goldie Rapp, Ziggy Sears,
Stump Edington, Lefty Augustus
Johns, Lil Stoner, Paulio Spittio
Whatellio, Josephus Pate, some-
times called the Old Marster.
Only Jack Calvo and one or two
of the pitchers answered to real
names.
• * »
T OOKING back over that list, it
• L is not difficult to arrive at
derivations of the nicknames.
Possum Moore somehow resem-
bled a possum—in grin, at, any
rate. That's how come him to be
called Possum, according to the
boys up in Arkansas. We some-
times also called him the Speckled
Beauty. Freckles.
* * *
Big Boy was just that, but
the name really came from the
fact he was the big boy or |
cleanup guy in the lineup.
Dutch, Hoffman’s nickname was
a holdover from his boyhood
days down in Santone. Peewee
is a very obvious thing to call a
smallish shortstop. There's lots
of 'em.
(OLDIE RAPP was the only
U outstanding third basemen we
had with a funny name. Frank
Haley and Billy Mullen were the
others. Goldie was slightly sun-
ny-haired, but the moniker prob-
ably came from some gold teeth
he displayed when he grinned.
IGGY SEARS didn't absorb the
4 name because he was zig-
zaggy in his left-handed mind.
The name was really an inheri-
tance from a guy who was on the
Cat club the year before Sears ar-
rived, That bird's name was
Ziggy Shears. It was very nat-
ural for Sears to inherit the
Ziggy.
Incidentally, it was really
Shears who had the big argu-
ment about warts on pickles
and not Sears, as has been
wrongly printed. Shears would
argue about anything. Players
always were framing up on him.
One day, on a train trip, they
framed the wart argument and
he fell for it.
ONE of the boys dropped into his
U seat and in the course of con-
versation told him how warts were
put on pickles. Shears was a city
rube who never saw a cucumber
that hadn't been cut up. In fact,
he didn't even know pickles came
from cucumbers. He swallowed
the wart story complete,
NOW this original Ziggy had two
I bad features. He liked to air
his knowledge, good or bad, and
he’d stick to an argument if it
took him to the bad place,
was that kind of a guy.
Soon after he learned
about pickles and how

warts were put on 'em, he
stretched, looked over the
coach, selected a guy who was
sitting by himself and eased

pickles and warts.
SKIPPER HOLKE
Cool Breeze Is
No Damper for
Advance Guard
"Just Lope* Around a Bit
And Maybe Hit a Few
Fungoes Today”
By POP BOONE
Skipper Walter Holke, who will
guide the destinies of the Fort
Worth Cats this season, doesn't
believe in fooling around much.
He goes places and does things
sudden.
For Instance, he wasn't due
here until some time last evening.
He was slated to leave St. Louis
early Wednesday morning, stop
over some place at night and then
finish his job of driving.
Gets Hopped Up.
Well, the sun was hot as the
car zoomed along toward Texas
and the boss got all hopped up
over it. He decided to drive
right on thru. Arrivingyester-
day morning at 4:30, he went to
bed and forgot to tell anybody he
was here until he walked into the
baseball office around noon.
He wanted to go right out and
put on a uniform, but there was
so much to do around the office
he delayed until today. But he
was out there at 11 o'clock this
morning, all dressed up in the
monkey suit and rarin’ to go.
Lefty Johns, Preacher Thur-
mond, Charley Biggs, Punk Ba-
ker and one or two others of the
advance guard refused to allow
the cool breeze to dampen their
ardor.
Mineral Wells Visit.
“We won't do much today.”
said Holke, "beyond a start. We'll
run around a little and probably
hit a few fungoes if there’s
enough of the boys drop in.
"This afternoon we expect to
drive over to Mineral Wells and
take a look at what has been
done in the way of fixing up the
high school athletic field. We
don’t go over there until Wed-
nesday, when the whole squad is
due to report, but we want to see
if everything is set.”
All pitchers and catchers are
due to report tomorrow, but sev-
eral have been granted short
respites owing to banking condi-
tions and private business rea-
sons. However, the squad is ex-
pected to reach a dozen men over
Sunday.
Work Out Around 11:30.
According to Holke, tomorrow’s
work will be started around
11:30. If the weather warms up
by Monday, the squad may start
a half hour earlier. But as it
stands now, the noon hour will be
popular.
Holke refused to be worried
about anything. He said he ap-
parently was very 'fortunate in
the large number of ball players
he had on his squad and was not
afraid of his chances being hurt
by any holdouts,
“In fact," he said, “we don't
know that we have any real hold-
outs. But we have so many good
men that we can stand a few real
holdouts.”
Rosenbloom Is
Favored to Win
By United Press.
NEW YORK, March 10.—Max-
; ie Rosenbloom, light heavyweight
champion in New: York State, is
a 2-to-l favorite to retain his
title tonight in a 15-round bout
with Adolph Heuser of Germany,
I European champion.
It will be Rosenbloom’s first
title defense at the Garden since
the autumn of 1931 when he
stopped Able Bain of Newark in
11 rounds.
Altho Heuser is a dangerous
hitter and a slugging fighter,
Rosenbloom is favored because
of superior boxing ability and his
tendency for unorthodox clown-
ing and tying-up tactics.
The champion is expected to
weigh slightly less than 175
pounds, and Heuser about 1731.

PARIS, March 10—The French
Boxing Federation today sus-
pended W. I., "Willie-the-Clutch"

months because of his pushing
of cucumbers, which have warts tactics Monday night while box-
on ’em already." Then the argu- ing Pierre Charles of Belgium,
ment was on.
NOME of the old-timers on the
D club took Sears' part in the
argument. Jake Atz says as long
as Ziggy Shears was on the ball'
club he never did quit arguin’ that
pickles had to be decorated with
warts artificially. And, Jake will
add, chances are the guy will still
put up an argument.

Stump Edington's name was
another obvious one. He was
almost as wide as he was tall.

Maxie Rosenbloom Knocks Out a Night Club Doorman, Which Shows He’s Training in Proper Way
By HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Correspondent
NEW YORK, March 10.—“The
nite club doorman, when he fi-
nally picked himself up, found
that the fellow "he had made a
pass at, was Maxie Rosenbloom."
This little item, sunk deep In a
Broadway gossip column and all
but smothered by the current
Reno-vators,phfftt-ers, middle-
aislers, torch-toters and bassinet-
preparers, was enough to con-
vince us that Rosenbloom will
whip Adolph Heuser when they
meet for the light-heavyweight
championship in Madison Square
Garden tonight.

but rather that he had, once
again, taken to the night clubs
for his training ground. A health-
farm-trained Rosenbloom is a
nudgeover for half the light-
heavies in the country, but a hot-
spot-prepared Rosenbloom is
practically invincible.
We have it from pretty good
authority that the not infrequent
lickings Rosenbloom has taken of
late were the result of a silly no-
tion of his to use a health farm,
with its abundance of mountain
air, freshly laid eggs and fresher
laid milk, as a training camp. He
just, couldn’t stand it. We mean,
his constitution was such that
communing with nature threw
him distinctly into reverse gear.
Rosenbloom should have
known better than to expose
himself to the elements. He has
had positive proof that a night
club is the one place in which he
can fit himself for a tough fight.
It was his steady work in the old
Silver Slipper (or was it -Pete's
Place?) that-enabled him to lift
the title from Jimmy Slattery in
1930. How he worked for that
bout! He would enter the Silver
Slipper around midnight, when he
could be sure there wouldn’t be a
drop of fresh, or as he styles it,
'‘dangerous” air, in the place.
After sniffing cautiously to de-
termine if it was pure, unadulter-
ated cigaret smoke be was
breathing, Rosenbloom would
open his workout with a few
straight shots of sasparilla. He
would follow this up with an hour
of leading the orchestra, swing-
ing the baton until his stiff col-
lar wilted. Warmed up, he would
launch into his serious training,
swinging blonde honeys, brunette
honeys, short honeys, tall honeys,
plump honeys and slender hon-
eys, thru the steps of the current
jigs and hops.
* * *
This would continue, with only
occasional timeouts for sasparilla,
until dawn when, with a fine
scorn for fatigue, he would wind
up the training session by jogging
home in the wake of a milk wag-
on. As a result, when he entered
the ring at Buffalo against Slat-
tery, he was ready for anything.
As Rosenbloom once said,
“Slattery never saw the day in
his life when he could extend me
as much as a 200-pound gal with
flat feet and no ear for music.”
* • o
So you see what Heuser is In
for. He must face a fit Rosen-
bloom. A Rosenbloom whose
muscles have been steeled by
wheeling thru the Louisiana
breakaway; a Rosenbloom whose
footwork is based on the rhythmi-
cal dips and whirls of the shag; a
Rosenbloom whose eyes have
been sharpened by flirtation.
In short, what’s a left hook to
a stomach which not only stands
hath tub gin, but likes it?

The Rosenbergs had an easier
time with the Pasadena Majors
than the score of 34 to 28 Indi-
cates. At the half the Chicago
team led 21 to 11, despite
early margin for the Majors.
an
expert—seeing his first champion-
ship fight—ran alongside of a full
cab.
The cab driver was agreeable.
The cab rolled along for a
couple of blocks.
Another voice cried out, "Say,
let me up there, will you?”
Presently Mr. Ade found him-
self with a companion on top of
the cab. .
was the deadline for signing, but
late last night had made no move
toward settling his difficulties.
Hal Lee, hard-hitting left fielder,
has not accepted terms. Lee,
however, has permission to report
on March 16.
RED WORTHINGTON MARRIED
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March
10,—The Boston Braves hold
their first practice game today.
Rabbit Maranville and Bill Ur-
banski are the only missing play-
ers. Delayed four days by a

T-P and Sproles
Start Play Today
Fort Worth had two strong
representatives, Sproles Transfer
and T-P. Coal and Oil, in the
state basketball tournament at
Galveston today. The Oilers left
yesterday, and the Transfer team
early this morning.
The T.-P. cagers, with Ad
Dietzel, All-American center for
the T. C. U. Frogs last year, in
the starting line-up, are rated as
one of the favorites.

Fort Worth Muny
Golfers Are Down
The Fort Worth Municipal
Women's Golf Association was
seven points behind the Dallas
Woman’s Club today, as a result
of a one-point defeat handed them
yesterday by the team from down
the river. The matches were
played over the Tennison Park
Golf Course in Dallas.
Results of the play, Fort Worth
women first, follow:
Mrs. Windsor Jones and Mrs H V. Car-
dona halved with Mrs. W. T. Stafford
and Mrs. M. B. Parsons.
Mrs. J. P. Jarboe and Mrs. LeRoy Dob-
kins won three points from Mrs. E. H
Wohlfhart and Mrs. Raymond D. Moss.
Miss Debra Davis and Mrs. J. C. May
lost three points to Mrs. Don Zeperneck
and Mrs. H. 8. Preston.
Mrs. L. C. Mount and Mrs. Ed May lost
one point to Mrs. George Huckaby and
Mrs. Sidney Rogers.
“TAID you see it? Wasn't it
D awful?" moaned the added
starter. There were audible sobs.
In his mind, Mr. Ade was writ-
ing the lead of what was to be
the most historic fight story In
the history of the country, but
his sympathies were still alive.
"Why was it so awful?” ven-
tured Mr. Ade.
“Why was it so awful?” groan-
ed the added starter. “Well It
just was.” There was more sob-
bing.*
“Are you a relative?” inquired
Mr. Ade, with unrestrained pity.
“A relative!" shrieked the add-
ed starter. "Don't you know who
I am?”
Mr. Ade explained that it was
very difficult for him to see thru
the darkness.
“Say, I'm Steve Brody, and
First Methodist, Church, city
and district basketball champions, |
will leave Saturday morning to |
participate in the state church
tournament at Dallas. The race
has already been, narrowed down
to four teams, the local club be-
ing the North Texas representa-
tive.
The Methodist cagers won the
city title by taking a two-game
series from Travis Avenue Bap-
tist, and captured the district
championship by trouncing Waco
last Saturday, 30 to 13. The team
Is coached by Hank Hancock.

Y RASSLERS WIN
The Fort Worth Y. M. C. A.
wrestling team defeated the Oak
Cliff "Y" team last night In
Dallas, Ed Shaw defeated G.
Mays, G. Womack and J.' C.
Chestnut drew. Herbert Semones
lost to H. A. Francis, and Poly-

John L. is everything to me.”
GO Mr. Adf and Steve Brody
D rode together on the top of a
cab to the telegraph office where
an epic of the ring was written,
and — having read the story in
recent days—I am convinced that
as a fight reporter Mr. Ade is
greatly over-rated.
He never even mentioned the
cab ride or Steve Brody.
