Charlie Paddock Defends Barbuti in Attack on A. A. U. Over Radio Erstwhile 'Fastest Human' Stresses Need of Modification of Rules and Removal of Certain Persons.
Bp United Press NEW YORK, April I.—A new attack on the A. A. U. has been launched by Charlie Paddock, erstwhile “world's fastest human.” Speaking over the radio Sunday night, Paddock said the “removal of certain unprincipled characters hiding beneath the banner of the Amateur Athletic Union.” together with the modification-of the rules of that organization were needed to help amateur athletics in the United States. “These rules and these characters,” Paddock said, ' have caused suspicion to be leveled against the A. A. U. from all sid'‘s and have brought into being a ridiculous condition of so-called amateurism that is distinctly un-American.” Paddock defended Ray Barbuti, only American winner of a runnig race at Amsterdam, saying:

PHILS NOSE OUT WINGS Cy Williams Leads Rally in Ninth That Wins Game. lit / Times Hpcclni WINTER HAVEN, Fla.. April I. Minor League clubs are finding it more and more difficult to down the Philadelphia Phillies. The Rochester International League Club led the Phillies for eight innings Sunday, out the Phils rose up in the ninth and scored six runs to win the game, 11 to 10. Cy Williams’ home run with the bases filled was the high spot of the rally.
“Recently the A. A. U., forced by antiquated rules and misguided by certain officials, because of reasons best known to themselves, suspended one of the few real amateur champions in this country today, for no other cause than that he had spoken out of turn and had no affidavits to prove statements which most competitors are frank to admit exist throughout the United States.” Open track meets where amateurs and professionals may compete against each other were suggested by Paddock as one remedy for the situation. “Open competition in golf has been unsuccessful.” he said. “There are, of course, objections to open track meets, but is it not better to have honest professionals than dishonest amateurs?”

Manager Betzel is Well Pleased With Week-End Showing of Club. BURWELL PITCHES WELL Metz and Warstler Shine in Contests. BV EDDIE ASH. Times Sports Editor SARASOTA. Fla.. April I.—High lights in the spring training camp of Bruno Betzel’s Indit is were plentiful as the AA champions staged two struggles with Buffalo I and the Tribe boss was in a happy : mood today as lie started the boys [ on another week of work which will I see camp broken Wednesd ty and a barnstorming tour toward Indianapolis launched. Bill Burwell pitched eight innings Saturday and convinced everybody he is ready now for the bell to ring on anew campaign. He would have breezed to an easy win over Buffalo at Palmetto Saturday but for poor support in the eighth when Koenecke and Monahan and a misjudged drive by Koenecke enabled the Bisons to rally and tie the score by rushing three runs over the plate. Bill allowed only seven hits in eight rounds, struck out two and issued only one walk.
Umps Gets Ridiculous With the score 4 and 4 in the last hall' of the ninth, there was an j exchange of harsh words between Umpire Graham and the Indiana bench and the arbiter forfeited the game to Buffalo, 9 to 0, when Trainer Pierce objected to leaving the park at the request of the badly confused official who apparently was urged to his ridiculous move by Manager Clymer of the International Leaguers. Graham is a Bush league umpire of low rating, and some of his decisions against the tribe Saturday ; were comical. It is not known in j what light Judge Landis will view | the matter. In Sunday’s battle with Buffalo at j Sarasota the Betzelites won handily, 7 to 3, with Joe Sprinz, the new catcher, going the full route. He poled two timely singles in four tries and handled the pitchers like a veteran. He was not forced* to cut loose with his arm. but during the warmup drill his whip looked strong. A running catch by Joe of a foul j fly was one of the day’s fielding ; features. Metz Goes Strong | Leonard Metz, who is competing | with Chuck Gorman for the utility | roll, held down third base Sunday | in great style and crashed out two singles and a triple, and his allaround performance just about eliminated Gorman. Metzie led both teams at bat during the Easter matinee at Payne field, where the contest was fought out while the thermometer hit the high shots. Ken Penner toiled six innings on the Tribe mound and was solved for eight safeties, but Ruel Love, who hurled the last three sessions, again showed well by giving up only one hit. a single in the ninth. This big fellow has yet to fail this spring when sent out to operate and is making a fine bid for a regular berth. Inclined to weight, Love has taken double workouts the past two weeks, thereby boosting his stock with the club bosses. Warstler Does It AII | And now we come to the weeki end resume of Shortstop Warstler’s | part in the picture. The lad never was greater out there on the hot diamond. No play was too tough lor the Rabbit and his fielding and throwing amazed the onlookers. In the two games, he accepted fifteen chances and easily was irhe mainspring of the Tribe inner works. His batting record also was high class with two singles and a walk Saturday and three walks and a stolen base Sunday. The Bisons walked him purposely in the sixth inning Sunday when two mates were aboard and only | one down. It was worth anybody’s | money iusfc to see this youth do j his stuff. nan Manager Betzel ordered the boys out for practice at 10 a. m. | today, this being an hour earlier than heretofore. There's more : heat in the morning than later in | the day for there is less breeze. nag DANNY BOONE PITCHED TO THE BATTERS SUNDAY WITH NO ILL EFFECTS.

Giants Are Favored to Annex Flag Cards May Drop as Low as Fourth: Pirates Weak in Spots. BV GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. April I.—After watching the major league clubs in training for more than a month several of the veteran baseball cor-
respondents have made observations on the National League pennant race which are interesting just at this time. The New York Giants and not the Chicago Cubs are the favorites with the baseball writers to win the pennant. The St. Louis Cardinals, 1928
Ownie Bush
champions, will drop as low as fourth place in the opinion of three prominent scribes who believe the left side of the infield will keep the Cards down. A Pittsburgh writer who has followed the ups and downs of the Pirates for many seasons isn't enthusiastic over the prospects of Ownie Bush’s 1929 club. Need Paul Waner “The Pirates have their best pitching staff in years,” he writes, “but the infield is a real problem and the outfield is in pretty bad shape with Paul Waner still out of the fold.” There seems to be no dispute among these baseball scriveners about which clubs belong in the first division. Almost without exception they have named the Giants. Cubs, Pirates and Cardinals for first division and the Reds. Robins, Braves and Phillies for second division. The Two Worst Brooklyn and Boston are, in the opinion of most of the National League writers, the worst clubs in the league now. Many of the scribes look for the Phillies to show improvement. principally because of a high-class infield. Another writer thinks the Giants have the best pitching staff in the league and that Benton and Hubbell will win twenty-five games each. The Reds have failed to impress, but some think Jack Hendricks’ club may make trouble if the Reds' pitching staff gets to hitting' on all cylinders.

Athlete Travels 70,000 Miles on Ice; He Has Grip on That Record,
Up v /,' 1 Perrier NEWARK. N. J.. April I. Horace Greeley advised young “fellas'' of his day to “go west,” but Corbett Dennenay, one of the best known players in professional icc hockey today, has gone both east and west —and also a little north and south. Over a span of fifteen years as a pro hockey player. Dennenay has seen service in seven different leagues, sported the uniform of more than a dozen clubs and traveled close to 70.000 miles in doing it. Dennenay's travels have taken him from one end of Canada to the other, from Vancouver on the west coast, as far south as Portland, Ore.; as far east as Montreal; north to Edmonton. Alberta, and in the midwest to Tulsa, Okla. Probably no other athlete who ever cavorted in ice hockey has covered as much territory and looked over more scenery than Dennenay. He nas played in every important city in Canada and added to that record practically every city in the United States that boasts of an artificial ice rink. Last winter Dennenay made his debut in professional hockey at Toronto, Ontario, in the winter of 1914-15. He’s going on 32 years of age—still a young man as hockey players go—and holds hopes of boosting his mileage to 100.000 before he's through.

CAMPUS COMMENT BY KXUTE ROCKNE
THE recent indoor track season has demonstrated that there is, as usual, a large number of classy sprinters in our American colleges. Quinn of Holy Cross and Wildermuth of Georgetown have been the best in tjje east while Simpson of Ohio State won the event in the recent Big Ten meet. Then there is Bracey of Rice, who won the national collegiate last year and who is again rounding into form. On the Pacific Coast, Borah of Southern California, they say, is feeling well again. If he is, his friends expect him to duplicate his remarkable performances of two years ago. Eider of Notre Dame has been running well all indoor season and has a victory over Williams the Canadian Olympic champion, to his credit. At the recent Illinois relays in the seventy-five yard dash Elder stumbled the first two steps, but made up two yards on Simpson the last twenty-five yards, just failing to nip the Ohio State flyer by an eyelash. There should be so: - great sprinting out of doors this spring season.

With Trenton, N. J., as their destination, the strange caravan of runners left Elizabeth. N. J., the first control, early today. The race started Sunday from Columbus Circle, New York. Ed Gardner of Seattle won the initial lap.
The regretable part is that all these sprinters can not get together for some epic competition. The eastern sprinters will run at the Penn relays while the western sprinters will no doubt show at the Drake relays at Des Moines the same day. Borah, Quinn and Wildermuth will compete in the I. C. A. A. A. A. meet at Philadelphia, while Bracey, Elder z :d Simpson will meet at the National Collegiate meet in Chicago. It is too bad that the eastern schools will not compete in the National Collegiate meet, Some say that this is due to the fact that the eastern schools resent their loss of athletic prestige oi recent years and will not come west. I doubt if this is true. There may be some politics being played by the dapper young men who control athletics in the eastern schools, but perhaps some day the eastern universities will have their athletics under faculty control. When that time comes no doubt the national collegiate meet will be a really national affair, with the best men competing from every part of the United States. (Copyright. 1929. by The Times)
