By Eddie Ash Casey Stengel Led Stormy Life in A. A. mam Picked First One Year. He Landed Last

jgROOKLYN fans have seen Casey Stengel in the role of player and also in the role of coach, but that isn't the half of it. He is the manager of the Dodgers now, and along about June, if the club fails to click, the Flatbush rooters are going to view some antics they never thought existed. Perhaps the big league umpires will use their authority and tame Casey, but he is the type that demands the “last say” and American Association fans will bear witness to that assertion. Asa matter of fact, efforts to squelch Casey in the A. A. ruined a lot of summers for Prexy To n Hickey’s umpires. One spring in the A. A. the Toledo club on paper looked like the best minor league club in the country and all of the experts picked the Hens to cop the pennant. The Toledo pastimers read all about the cake walk that was facing them and proceeded to just go along and play out the season. The championship was in the bag. The athletes laughed off club training rules and took a summer's outing. They finished last. It was a sour season for Stengel, the Hen manager. He kicked up dust, tore up the turf, shadow boxed and talked himself blue in the face. He was the wildest thing out of a cage that year. a a a a a a STENGEL took over the Toledo helm in 1926 and piloted the Hen flock to fourth place. In 1927 he got the boys "in the mood" and they annexed the A A. title in 1927 and defeated Buffalo in the “little world's series. The following season, 1928, when Indianapolis grabbed off the pennant, the Hens wound up in sixth position, and in 1929 they wound up in the cellar. Stengel lifted the Hens to third place in 1930, but in 1931 the club fell into bad ways again and closed out in eighth position, a poor last. In 1932 the Cleveland Americans rescued the Hens with financial support and appointed Bib Falk to succeed Stengel as pilot. Falk lifted the team to fourth in 1932, and last year, under Steve O’Neill, the Hens finished in a tie for fifth. Casey Stengel is out of the old school of baseball and it's possible the Brooklyn players ■will accede to his wishes and play both for results and amusement. He will supply the fans with laughs and taunts if the pastimers succeed in getting the base hits. The old boy is hard to equal as an entertainer when his ball team is out in front. a a a a a a MAX CAREY, deposed Brooklyn boss, has the sweetest of all jobs. He will be paid $12,000 this year for doing exactly nothing. The Dodgers will live up to Carey's contract and shell out. Max blames Brooklyn and New York newspaper men for the loss of his position and it does seem that he is entitled to a grievance some place along the line. This column is not familiar with the "tunneling” that took place, j but it’s a dead cinch Casey Stengel would not lift a hand to oust a ! superior. Criticism of the Brooklyn ouster of Carey rests in the delay. | Another baseball season is about to begin and Carey is left out on a | limb insofar as landing another managerial post is concerned. Paid in full is okeh as far as it goes, but there’s the matter of principal j involved. Max Carey attended Concordia college at Ft. Wayne. Ind., i and he was a star for years with Pittsburgh in the National League, I his specialty being base running. a ~ a a a a SPORTS scribes of Columbus, 0.. gave up on Noble Kizer going to i Ohio State as head football coach, but they held out until the very; last. They devoted many columns to football on the theory there w-ould be no hitch in the signing of Purdue's brilliant grid mentor. Long stories appeared describing the Notre Dame system and a complete record of Purdue football under Kizer was given to Columbus readers. Lew Byrer, in the Columbus Citizen, penned the following article, describing the “glowing” opportunity: "I believe a real opportunity to second Knute Rockne is aw r aiting whoever accepts the post of Ohio State coach. It's a bit hard to understand why men like Clark Shaughnessy, Noble Kizer. Dana Bible. Major Neyland and Red Black hesitated about accepting that opportunity. Os course the real reason is that Ohio State has become known as a hot-seat for coaches. Too many of them remember what happened to Dr. Wilce and Sam Willaman here. But look at the setup. Ohio State has one of the finest stadiums in the country and one of the largest schools. Next fall Ohio State plays Indiana, Illinois. Colgate. Northwestern. Western Reserve. Chicago, Michigan and lowa. In 1935 Notre Dame will be added to the Buckeye schedule. In 1937 Southern California will be added. Considerable work has also been done tow’ard addding a really outstanding eastern team, the Army in fact. When that is brought about Ohio State will have an annual schedual calling for five Big Ten teams and Notre Dame. Southern California and Army each year.” Boy, page Professor Pritchett of the Carnegie Foundation. a a a ana THE Milwaukee Brewers will offer plenty of color this summer as long as Clarence Fieber sticks around to supply the brilliant pigment. Fieber is the six foot, four inch southpaw- hurler recently sent to the Brews by the Chicago White Sox, and he has an eccentric cross-fire delivery. Fieber was plucked by the White Sox in the spring of 1932, out of the University of San Francisco. When he arrived. Manager Fonseca remarked that he had a notion to shoot him right under the gun that afternoon. "Okay,” replied Fieber. “I’ve been on the train four days, but I'm ready to go just as soon as you give me the signals.” He got his baptism shortly thereafter in the second game of a double-header before 20.000 fans. He went in as relief, following Ted Lyons and Red Faber, pitched two hitless innings and was recorded as the winning pitcher in his first pro battle. Fieber did not stay long with the Sox. He w-as shipped to Oakland in the Coast League where he won eight and lost eleven for a seventh place team. Last season he was returned to Oakland and won five and lost nine for a fifth-placer. Fans get a real kick out of Fieber's wind-up when a left-hander is batting. He strides almost to first base and then doubles back to shoot the ball toward the plate.

Talking It Over

BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Sports Writer NEW YORK, Feb. 24.—Tennis is something like artichokes. Either you like tennis or you don't. As far as the big town is concerned it doesn’t seem to make a great deal of difference whether it is professional tennis or amateur tennis. If there is a preference the edge must go to the professionals. Whenever the professionals appear in the Garden they attract crowds gathering on capacity. This is not always true when the greatest of the amateurs appear at Forest Hills stadium—the Wimbledon of America. Asa general thing the amateurs attract only on the day of the finals when the competitive heat has reached its highest point. In this respect the American tennis response seems to be somewhat different from that of the English. Across the ocean the amateur tennis show’s are always sellouts. Wimbledon is seldom able to accommodate all the people w’ho want to see the matches. Almost invariably admission requests must be returned with regrets. On the other hand the professionals only manage to do so so—an obsolete Japanese phrase meaing the best they can. This poses a series of questions. Is the spirit of amateurism more deeply ingrained in the English than in the Americans? The box office returns w’ould seem to indicate that it. Is professional tennis due to dominate amateur tennis in America? Again the box office returns seem to answer yes. To bath theories you are inclined to ask, “Why?” a a a IN any event it is clear that the tennis picture—and particular.ly the American tennis picturr—is undergoing marked changes. Temporary perhaps, but maiksd just the same. Interest in amateur tennis is definitely at a low ebb. Conversely there is an amazing enthusiasm for professional tennis. What does this portend? Is tennis in this country to change all the way over from a traditional amateur sport to a forthright professional sport? In attempting to arrive at the correct answer it should be kept in mind that this is a matter the public inevitably decides, not the badge-wearing officials. In other words, is the public deciding it would rather see professional tennis than amateur tennis? For the moment I am sure the pubic has decided it w’ould rather see professional tennis. I say for the moment because the clurrent set up is particularly attractive, what w’ith Tilden, * Vines and Cochet putting on the show. These are the three greatest names in tennis, and names always make the show. There has been in recent years much discussion about open tennis. where amateurs and the profesionals meet on comon ground, as do, for example, the golfers. Nothing material has come of it. Such a tournament is just as far off as it ever was. Men in authority in amateur tennis speak feelingly of the idea and do nothing. a a a MEANWHILE amateur tennis has not progressed very far in this country. It has been so long since the Davis Cup had a home here that the hunk of cilver has become a legendary symbol—

A few days ago an inquisitive reporter talked to Mons. Henri Cochet of France about an open tennis tournament. His answer, I thought, indicated a sound appreciation of current conditions. “It would be foolish for the professionals. We can make more money without the amateurs. ‘ Why have an open tournament and split the receipts with some organization?”

The Indians will have to win Sunday’s game from Kokomo to retain their lead in the Midwestern league, and the reorganized Kokomo team looks strong enough to give the locals a hard fight. Kokomo now has Bill Lewis and Bradley at rushes, Art Lewis at center, Hileman i at half, and Widner at the cage. The Indians will line up with Butler and Ted Lewis at rushes, Quigley at center, Guyer at half and Pence ; at goal. Admission to any seat in the hall ! is 25 cents. All receipts over expenses are devoted to the charity projects of the city and county em- | ployes’ relief association.

a race that is almost certain to see the record of 3:53.4. hung up by Venzke in 1932, shattered. For Bonthron, victory will give him undisputed claim to being America's premier miier of the year, indoors and out. For Cunningham, from Kansas university, first place will enable him to earn an even break in competition this season with Bonthron and a chance to salvage part ownership to the indoor distance running championship which he held last year. And for Venzke. holder of the world's indoor record of 4:10, a triumph will mean a throw back to the days of 1932 when he mopped up all competition in sight.

RUDY CRIBS LEAD IN MARITAL FIGHT Fay Must Sue in New York, Court Rules. By United Prexx NEW YORK. Feb. 24.—Rudy Vallee moved into the lead yesterday in a transcontinental court battle with his wife when he obtained a temporary injunction restraining Fay Webb Vallee from suing him for divorce and maintenance anywhere but in New York. There is but one ground for divorce in New York state—infidelity. Mrs. Vallee had sued for maintenance in California and Supreme Court Justice Bernard Schientag characterized this action as an obvious attempt to annoy the curlyhaired crooner. The order enjoins Mrs. Vallee from proceeding with her 1 California action for $7,450 a month alimony, $50,000 counsel fees, and SIO,OOO expenses.
