Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. May 27— Eddie Collin* of the Athletics, who ‘ was In our town recently wishes to go on record as predicting that the Athletics will be the first American League team to win four championships In a row. Collins offers a number of reasons, among which are: tit There l* no better manager In the league than Corneliua MeGililcuddir. iji There u no better pitcher in baaeball than Lefty Orove tl> There are no more dangerous hitter*. taking them as they ectne. than Foxx, Cochrane and Simmon*. ‘4* The team as a whole U Ju*t as good, if not better, than it was a year ago. and so why shouldn't we repeat?'' Collin* it usually right. Why should I argue with him 1 BUM TURNING to the National League, the Braves are giving the boys a surprise. They are right up there. There Is an inclination to laugh at them because the aged Rabbit Maranville is a member of the infield. They say that neither the team nor the Rabbit can last. I wouldn't want to be too sure about that. Old men have made more than one team. They have a way of adding a balance, a poise and a matured tactical experience that is invaluable. The star inflelder In the 1920 world series between the Cleveland* snd the Brooklvna was Larry Gardner, who was older than the flrst Mike and Pat gag Our own Mr McGraw naid *IOO.OOO. some of which was money, for Dave Bancrof' ten vears ago. because he wanted an nM head to stabilize hts infield. It was a smart deal. The Giants began winning pennants in 1921 and didn't stop antll 1925 Bancroft started the streak. At least he helped. Washington took Roger Pecklnpaugh in 1923 after the Yanks had hung him up to dry. and there isn't a child in Yonkers who doesn't know what great historical development grew out of that transaction. Teamed with Bucky Hama. Pecklnpaugh. who had slowed down to a painful limp here, stepped out and established anew record for double plavs. So effective was the team play of Peck and Harris that the Washingtons qualified for the world series in 1924 and 1925. b a a THEY were beaten by the Pirates in the 1925 series. One of the reasons why the Nats were beaten was that old man Stuffy Mclnnis was on first base a part of the time. When the scries started, he was on the bench. The Pirates dropped three of the flrst four games. They looked as hopeless as a pair of knocked knees under Ziegfeldian scrutiny. Our Mr. McGraw. a rabid National Leaguer, as he would be made a suggestion. Oranham had been nlavin* flrst has-. Thare were other youngsters at the other bases Moore at second, Wright at short and Traynor at third. Your lnfleld has gone to pieces. It needs balance." said MrGraw to Bill MrKechnte. the manager. "Put Mrlnnts on flrst. Mavbe that will help you.” Now It has been a long time aince our Mr. McGraw has had a championship team of hi* own. but I think it will be admitted that when he is in a tight spot he knows what to do. At any rate. McKechnie made the shift. He snt Mclnnis. the old timer to flrst and the Pirates won the next three games and the series. MrKechnte got credit for winning that one. but our Mr. McGraw at least deserved an assist.

Drastic Changes Made in Yale Athletic Program

By Vailed Press NEW HAVEN. Conn.. May 27. A definite switch from emphasis on varsity athletics to more general participation in intramural activities is outlined in Yale’s revised athletic policy, announced by Dr. James Rowland Angel, president of the university. The new policy will reduce the varsity football schedule to five games, from seven or more. These contests will be only with traditional rivals. Intersectional competition will be eliminated. There will be no games with so-called 'set-up" opponents. The new program, scheduled to go into operation after the residential college plan is established in 1933, probably will not be completely

Heavy Hitting and Sensational Pitching Give Yankees Four-Game Edge in A. L.; Gehrig’s Homer Beats Senators

B’j Uniltd Prrtt NEW YORK, May 27.—Heavy hitting and sensational pitching have swept the powerful New York Yankees to a four-game lead in the American League. McCarthy’s sluggers have laid down a barrage of thirty-eight home runs thus far to pave the way for 218 scores on 320 hits, while their opponents retaliated with only fifteen homers, 124 runs and 248 safeties. Only two of Colonel Ruppert’s pitchers have lo6t more than they have won—Ed Wells and Gordon Rhodes. Wells is credited with hurling only one contest, and he lost that, while Rhodes tried three times and lost twice. Lefty Gomez, strikeout king of the major leagues, has won seven

TWELVE OF THIRTY ‘soo’ QUALIFIERS OVER 112 MARK

Speed Classic Looms as ‘Anybody’s Race’ Every Car Capable of Setting Record Pace in Long Memorial Day Grind; Louis Schneider, 1931 Cham- , pion, Qualifies in Bowes Seal Fast. BY NORMAN E. ISAACS It will be ‘anybody's race" when the field pulls away from the starting line at 10 next Monday morning in the twentieth running of the iOO-mile motor derby at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. For every one of the thirty cars already qualified is capable of set.ing and maintaining a record pace in the American Grand Prix. Sitting in the front row will be three highly popular favorites. At the pole will be Lou Moore in his Boyle Valve Special, in which he set a 117.363-mile-an-hour clip in the time trials. In No. 2 position will be Billy Arnold. 1930 winner, in his front-drive Miller-Hartz car, which traveled 116.290 miles an hour in the trials, and at No. 3 position will be Bryan Saulpaugh in the sixteen-cylinder Harry Miller Special, which he whirled around the track at a 114.369 gait.

Walker Is Ring Victor By Vailed Press 1 NEW YORK. May 27.—Mickey Walker, touted as runnerup to Jack Dempsey for a shot at the world heavyweight title, was awarded a ten-round decision Thursday night ! over rugged Paulino Uzcudun of Spain at Madison Square Garden, but he gained little prestige in the encounter. In fact, it was Walker's bloodpattered opponent who received the cheers of the crowd when they left left the ring. Walker was farewelled with an outburst of booing from the gallery fans, who ! showered him with newspapers and ; torn programs. Although the judges were unanimous in their decision, most of the spectators thought the veteran : Spanish heavyweight should have received the verdict in the unin- | teresting tussle. WELTER CHAMPION ILL , H y Vailed Press CHICAGO. May 27.—Decision was to be made today by doctors attending Jackie Fields, world's welterweight champion, whether to operate on him for appendicitis. Fields was stricken with an acute pain in his right side Wednesday afternoon, and has since been under , observation pending a possible operI ation.

effective until 1934. One important game is expected to be eliminated, the annual encounter with Georgia. This new policy provides for drastic cuts in athletic costs, free admission of undergraduates to all games and elimination of scouting, class teams and the 150-pound football team. There is nothing in the survey prohibiting professional coaching for varsity teams. PURPLE NINE TRIUMPHS A seven-run rally in the third inning, which was featured by Yovanovich's homer and single, gave Washington's Continental's a 9 to 2 triumph over Richmond here Thursday. Howard allowed the invaders six hits.

Don Fails in Record Try By Vailed Press LAKE CARDONE, Italy, May 27. —Kaye Don, British motorboat driver, was timed at an average of 105.143 miles an hour Thursday in an attempt to break the world's speedboat record of 111.712, held by Gar Wood of Detroit. Don drove his Miss England 111 at :39.2 for the outward mile and :39.6 inward in his trial runs on Lake Gardone. He announced he would make another record attempt today or Saturday.

This formidable bat wielding and brilliant hurling enabled the Yanks to register their seventh shutout Thursday when they downed the

Those three make up “dynamite row'’ and they are likely to pop forth with some swell fireworks in the flrst hundred miles of Monday's r&qe. Secfnd Row Threatens In the second row will be three consistent drivers seated in sturdy, reliable machines, Russ Snowberger in his Hupp Comet, Ira Hall in a Duesenberg, and Howdy Wilcox in the four-cylinder Lion Head Special. All three are capable of winding up their buggies to 114 miles an hour, and should any of the three elect to chase the pace setters, they won't be far behind. In the third row are three more highly able pilots, Louis Meyer, Paul Bost and Billy Winn. Meyer, in his sixteen-cylinder Sampson Special, has as much speed in his car as any driver on the bricks if he wants to let it loose. The 1928 champion was satisfied with a 112.471 qualifying speed, but he may not be satisfied to lay back on race day. Carey, Huff Speedy The fourth row has Cliff Bergere and Luther Johnson, in Studebakers, and Bill Cummings, in a Bowes Seal Fast. All three cracked it up to over 111 in the qualifications. The fifth row contains Frank Brisko in his own front-drive. Bob Carey in Louis Meyer’s rear-drive eight, and joe Huff in the Goldberg Highway Parts Special. Bob and Joe may have to be watched closely. Both are crack pilots and they have fine machines under them. In the sixth row are Wesley Crawford in a Boyle Valve. Pete Krcis in a Studebaker and A1 Miller in a Hudson. Each made 110 in the trials. The seventh row has Deacon Litz in another Bowes Seal Fast, Tony Gulotta in a Studebaker and Joe Russo in the Art Rose Special. All made over 108 in the time tests. McDonogh in Eighth Row Two of the machines in the eighth row are just as fast as any in the race. At the pole there is Wilbur Shaw in the Miller Special he qualified at 114.326 miles an hour and in third position is Bob McDonogh in the Miller FWD machine he piloted at 113.378 in the trials. In the middle sits A1 Aspen in the Brady-Nardi which did 108. The ninth row has two more fast cars. There is Stubby Stubblefield in the four-cylinder champion Gilmore, which did 112.899, and Fred Frame in the Hartz Special, which did 113.856. In the center is Phil Shafer in his Shafer Eight, which he pulled around at 110.708. The Gilmore was setting a 117-mile-an-hour clip, but coasted through the last lap of the trial with a soft tire. The tenth row has Gus Schader in another Miller four-wheel drive, which did 112.003: Chet Miller in the second Hudson, which made 111.053, and Louis Schneider, 1931 champion, who qualified Thursday at 110.681. Summing up the whole works it means there are twelve cars which qualified at speeds of 112 miles an hour and greater, and most of which are capable of winding up to 116 and 117 miles an hour. That's real speed and it may mean that all the records that ever were made in 500-mile competition may be going by the boards in 1-2-3 order on Monday. U. S. to Prune Olympic Teams By Vailed Press NEW YORK, May 27.—Confronted with an unprecedented shortage of funds. Avery Brundage, president of the Amateur Athletic Union, today ordered a reduction in the size of the United States Olympic teams. Only $34,479 have been raised toward the quota of $350,000, it was reported. Americas representation at the Los Angeles Olympic games originally *had been planned to include about 350 men and about forty women. Because of the unexpected insufficiency of funds, members of the Olympic committee estimate that a cut of at least 25 per cent will be necessary. PHILLIES DROP TWO By Times Special PHILADELPHIA. May 27.—Russ Scarritt, outfielder, and George Knothe. utility infielder, were released Thursday by the Phillies to Ft. Worth of the Texas League. The Philly roster now includes ten pitchers, three catchers, five outfielders and five inflelders.

challenging Washington Senators, 5 to 0. Lou Gehrig blasted his seventh home run with the bases loaded. and Charles Ruffing limited the Nationals to five scattered hits. Gehrig's heroic drive came in the sixth inning, with two out and the cushions groaning from the weight of three teammates. He sent the ball careening over the right field wall, accounting for four runs. Jimmy Foxx blasted out his fifteenth home run as the Philadelphia Athletics overwhelmed the lowly Boston Red Sox. 7 to 1, in a six-inning tilt. Bishop also homered. and George Eamshaw yielded but six hits. Detroit took the first game of a double-header from the Chicago White Sox, and tied the nightcap at 1-all. The latter was halted in the fifth inning by rain. (

Boston Braves lo6t the lead in the National League when they succumbed to the Philadelphia Phillies, 17 to 13. The idle Chicago Cubs rose to the top. Hurst and Lee homered for Philadelphia and Shires and Urbanski did likewise for Boston. The Phillies got nineteen hits from Brave hurlers and Boston collected twenty off a quartet of Philly flingers. Brooklyn nosed out the New York Giants. 3 to 2, in a twelve-inning struggle, and the Pittsburgh Pirates impaled the Cincinnati Reds with a similar score, 3 to 2, boosting Pittsburgh past the Giants into fifth place. The Cincy loss snapped Red Lucas’ string of five consecutive victories. They were the only games scheduled.

Smart Guys By Times Special NEW YORK. May 27. Uncle Wilbert Robinson is gone. So is Eabc Herman. But Max Carey’s Dodgers still are Brooklyn's balmy boys. After Lefty O'Doul had executed a song and dance in misjudging a fly boll and Watson Clark had refused to run out a sure infield hit, A1 Lopez pulled the prize boner of the day Thursday. In the sixth inning, with Cuccinello on second, the Dodger catcher strode to the plate and cracked out a single. At this point the Giants swarmed from their dugout and pointed out that according to the official lineup it was Kelly’s and not Lopez’s time at bat. And so the run was stricken off and Lopez ruled out—and the Dodgers had to go twelve innings to beat the Giants, 3 to 2.
