illllllllinillillllQlllllllllllllllllfflllllllillllllllllliillllllllll iVtIRRIN’ the DOPE f By VEDDER GARD siiiiuiiiiiQiiiiiiiiiiuiiiuuiiiiiniiQiiiiMniuiiMiMUiuiiiiiiiiiDiiiujjiiinnQjiiiiiii -U'TILLY EVANS, famous sports R authority, who writes for The Times through NEA Service, has the following to say about the recent racing scandal: It looks as if the turf needs to be thoroughly renovated. Also that a powerful disinfectant should be employed to bring about the desired cleanup. The recent sour scandal in Kentucky, in which six jockeys were ruled off for life and three owners received a similar sentence, has thrown a black cloud over the racing game. The turf sport needs a high commissioner with unlimited power, a big man with a like reputation whose word shall be Law. A man in whom the power shall be vested to immediately review the evidence of any turf dispute and render a final decision. Racing is a fine sport when properly conducted. Thousands of fans are interested in it. Asa matter of fact, no sport can flourish unless it has proper administration. The race stewards are, as a whole, a fine lot of men, honest, with the best interests of the sport at heart, but unfortunately they are far removed from the field of .activity and usually are the last imen to get the low-down on suspicious happenings. Millions of dollars are invested in racing by the owners of the various tracks and big stables. The public bets a vast amount of money on the sport. Legitimate promoters and owners, as well as the public, deserve to have their interests better protected. Horse-pulling riders, go-between jockeys, dishonest owners and sponge-stuffing trainers should be summarily dealt with. The turf game lacks the discipline such as a high commissioner of racing would inforce. The sooner the worthwhile men connected with the sport, and most of them are of that type, realize it, the better it will be for the game. It is up to the race track owners and stewards to drive out the undesirables and give a great sport the protection it deserves. * * *

SHE foreign newspaper correspondents have an idea that Hel§n Wills and Suzanne Lenglen always are worth some cable tolls.

ANNOUNCEMENT EXPECTED

‘DETERMINED ELMER’ WILL HOLD DOWN HOT CORNER Yoter Shows Improvement in Spring Camp and Removes Doubt About Indians’ Third Sacker. By Eddie Akh Times Sport Editor HOT SPRINGS, Ark., March 29.—As the Indians start their third week of training in Hot Springs there is one player in particular who stands out as an Improved pastimer compared with last year. He is a little man, little Elmer Voter, who holds down the hot corner. He’s one of the most active of the Tribe per-

formers. Yoter finished at third la3t season, | after serving in the utility role. He was assigned Johnny Hodapp’s job when Ilodapp was sold to Cleveland. When the 1926 squad reported at Hot Springs, Manager Bush said there was some doubt about who would start at third when the season opened. The doubt has been removed. Elmer Yoter has made good. Bush has been giving Yoter special coaching on how to defend the hot corner, and Elmer is learning rapidly. The little fellow had a fault last year of “coming up” too soon on hard-driven grounders. He would knock the ball down, but it would get behind him, and he would be too long recovering to get the runner at first. Corrects Weakness But now Elmer has corrected that weakness, and drives he fails to hold, but knocks down, are not bothering, him. He keeps the ball in front of him and thus is able to make a quicker throw to first after recovery. He has the arm to do it with. Y'oter’s throw is fast and accurate and he possesses good leg speed. He is a bundle of baseball, loves the game, always „ talks it. He batted .306 last year, and is showing strong stick work during the Tribe’s daily practice sessions at Hot Springs. The mark of .306 is very high for a little fellow, and, of course, there is serious doubt about- Yoter’s ability to repeat, that achievement. He is a very determined individual, however, and is not easily discouraged. He is the type of player the fans pull for. It was too cold in Hot Springs Sunday for the Indians to risk practice and the Hoosiers went to the Milwaukee park and watched a few innings of the Brewer-Little Rock game. The athletes, who were forced to work while snow threatened, complained bitterly and envied the idle Indians. “Why don’t you get on a good ball club?” was the question the Tribesmen hurled at the frozen performers. A light snow fell here early Sunday morning and weather was frigid all day. Little Rock Tuesday Manager Bush planned to divide the squad today and stage a brief scrub game. The Indians will play In Little Rock Tuesday and again Friday. Milwaukee again has refused to permit the Indians to use their fenced-in park. Hill and Reynolds, right-handers, the two “specs” of the team, are stated to pitch for the Tribe Tuesday. Niles and Burwell will receive the Friday assignment. Eddie Ainsnuth, injured Tribe catcher, still is absent from practice. He is awaiting warmer weather before again appearing at the pasture. Muscles in his back have been bothering him since he took his injured arm out of tape. Pitchers Schemanske and Ray were still on t.he missing list Sunday night. A few days ago the former wired he had accepted terms and was heading for camp. He must be walking. Carl Ray went home because of illness in his family, but has failed to return when he said he would. Another puzzle. The lame-arm boys are recovering and Manager Bush has notified all pastimers he expects them to hear down this week. Outfielders will be asked to practice throwing to bases and to the plate. Walter Rehg’s teeth are bothering him and he is about ready to go to the “chair” for a “long pull."

Red Hot From Hot Springs By Eddie Ash HOT SPRINGS, Ark., March 29. —The new tarpaulin purchased by Owner Smith for Washington Park. Indianapolis, cost big money, but is expected to pay for itself in time by acting as a cheerio to fans who become timid about attending games when showers threaten. The immense canvas is “big league stuff” and the groundkeepers will be trained to spread it over the infield with speed. The old canvas at the Tribe lot has become ragged, and it is of insufficient quantity to be of much service when rain falls. Harry Greb and Harry Wills, pugilists, visited Hot Springs recently to take the baths and hike over the hills. Both were introduced at a local boxing show. Greb says Tiger Flowers has not long to sport the middleweight title. The former champ worked hard while here and said he planned to continue a stiff grind after he left the Springs. He was here with Red Mason, manager, and two trainers. Mason is a howling baseball fan, and in addition to being a vefy good pugilist, also is a wiz on the dance floor. Someone remarked about the energy displayed by the veterarf Jim Pierce, Tribe trainer and Jim replied: “The old fiddlers did a comeback. I still have a chance.” A Hot Springs young man, with baseball aspirations, quizzed Trainer Pierce about baseball opportunities. He desired to know about the different league classes and sought advice in which class to start a career. Jim explained about the majors and Classes AA, A, B, C, and D, and advised the youth to begin in D. “But what if I don’t make good

Expect Great Track Year Athletes Show Promise of Continuing RecordBreaking Performances Outdoors.

Bv Tim** Special NEW YORK, March 29.—With the Nation's leading track and field athletes and a numbei' of foreign stars turning their attention to outdoor work, the spring promises to produce some of the best athletic competition ever seen in an off-Olympic year. Records have been broken right and left, Charley Paddock on Saturday burning up the cinders at Stanford in a 9.6 “hundred” and Russel, the elongated Cornell sprinter, setting anew mark for the 75-yard dash. Charley Hoff added a fraction of an Inch to the world’s pole vault marie, and Harold Osborn of the Illinois A. C. showed he must be rockoned A. C. showed he must be reckoned winning six of eight events in which he entered in the Havana University games. Adrian Paulen, the spectacled Netherlands flyer, proved that his indoor failure was a temporary lapse by winning a fast quarter-mile race in Texas. Dehart Hubbard, the colored jumper, has broken the world's Indoor broad jump record and is planning a campaign to set anew mark out of doors this spring. Herbert Schwarze, the Wisconsin giant, who heaved the shot 50 feet 7% inches for anew world's inif'oor record, will try to put the sixteenpound pellet close to 60 feet during the spring meets. Record-breaking performances in the hurdles featured the winter competition. If Paavo Nurmi accepts an invitation to run at the Philadelphia Sesquicentennlal games this summer, distance running will take a brace, and the makers of record books probably will be kept busy making changes before the end of the outdoor season.

in Class D, where’ll I go then?” the kid inquired. “In that event,” answered Jim, “you go home and run errands for your mother.” Pat Glenn and Eddie Glenn, brothers, of Indianapolis, vacationed in Hot Springs and they took a look at the Indians occasionally. They were here taking the baths and climbing hills. Eastman Hotel, Tribe headquarters, puts on a swell “feed bag.” Young ball players \have sharp appetites and large, especially for the evening meal, after practice. The boys certainly do like their groceries.

Jimmy Lynch Bv Times Special HOT SPRINGS. Ark., March 29. —Jimmy Lynch, southpaw pitcher, is training with the Indians at Hot Springs and striving to land a place on the flinging staff. He was obtained from the York (Pa.) team of the New York-Pennsyl-vania League in a friendly deal. If he makes good, the Indians will give a good sum for him: otherwise he will bo turned back. He has had much minor league experience and this may be his year to advance.

SOON OF DEMPSEY-TUNNEY BATTLE

Details of Big Fight May Be Forthcoming Within a Few Days. By Henry L. Farrell, United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, March 29.—Definite arrangements for a heavyweight fight ill which Jack Dempsey will defend his world's championship late this summer probably will be announced within a few days. The opponent of the champion will be Gene Tunney; the promoter will be Tex Rickard: the site will be New York and the date will bo around Labor day. Rickard does not lean toward national holidays, but he has very little choice in this case as Dempsey’s contract with Jack Kearns does not expire until August and there are some political angles with the boxing commission that have to be settled. Accepts Terms Billy Gibson, manager of Tunney, told the writer recently in Miami that he had accepted terms with Rickard for a contest against Dempsey, but.that the date and the place had not been settled. Tunney returned from Florida a few days ago, following the collapse of the plans that Jess Baugh, a railroad contractor, had made for an $85,000 fight with Young Billy Strlbling and Tunney. Gibson said today that he would have an important announcement to make in a few days and that “something might break today.” Rickard Silent Rickard said that he had a big fight in the making but he refused to volunteer any details. He would not comment upon reports that he was planning to build a huge out-door stadium in New York to be usgd for boxing, football, hockey and other outdoor sports. Dempsey is still on the Ineligible list of the New York boxing commission and Rickard cannot announce any definite plans for a heavyweight championship fight until the champion gets himself back in good standing with the commission. It Won’t Be Wills It is practically certain now that Harry Wills, the recognized challenger of the New York commission will not get the first shot at Dempsey this summer. Dempsey will fight Tunney in the fall and if he ever meets Wills it will not be until next year. Paddy Mullins, manager of Wills, admitted as much today. “We have been trying to get a match with Dempsey for six years,” Mullins said, “and it looks like we are going to miss it this summer. If some definite offer la not made bej fore mid-April we are going to accept any other opponents that are offered us.”

THEY’RE OFF! Spring Racing Starts Thursday at Bowie. BI BALTIMORE, March 29.—The thoroughbred racing season of 1926 has its real opening this week when an eleven days meeting starts at Bowie, next Thursday. Winter racing has had its biggest season, with more tracks running and more new ones opened than ever before, which means . that plenty of fit horses will b ready for Maryland. Thoroughbreds which wintered on Long Island have been out for the past fortnight, but probably none of them will be ready for the Bowie meeting. Following Bowie, the scene will shift to Havre De Grace, also In Maryland. Most of the horses headed for Bowie are coming from Miami, New Orleans, Tampa and Mobile, while later in the month there will be an equine contingent from Tia Juana.
