JJTORSE racing is a common thing in America and most sports followers are familiar with the thrills that are jsupplied frequently when the bangtails are in the stretch fighting nose to nose as the jockeys urge the steeds to greater efforts. However, the most hazardous horse race is held in England and the annual event will be staged this month on the 23d, at A intree, outside of Liverpool. It is the English Grand National steeplechase in which many equines start, but few finish out the event. The distance is four and one-half miles, the most trying a horse ever ran. Asa sample of the tough going, in 1928 forty-eight jumpers started and only two crossed the finish line, and in 1929 sixty-eight started and only ten lasted out the distance. Kellsboro Jack romped home ahead of the few finishers in 1933 and the winner was owned by a New York woman, Mrs. Ambrose Clark. a a a bob THE Grand National is a difficult task for the jockeys, most of whom are sent sprawling and rolling during the course of the running and hurdling. The course has thirty-one jumps, ranging from four to five and one-half feet. It is legendary that the race never is won until the horses have cleared the last jump, and that is one reason for the large • odda, ranging up to 100-1 on entrants. In addition to the jumps are water holes, one of them being fifteen feet wide, more than tw r o feet deep, and covered with a thorn fence. Once in that jumble of water and thorns, a horse never recovers in time to finish. From 200,000 to 300,000 people sit in the stands and crowd around the course to see the race. In the mad scramble of from fifty to seventy horses, anything can happen at the start, and it often is true that a hoise that faces the barrier never gets as far as the first jump. a a a a a a 'T'MIE story of the Grand National, dating back more than 100 years, is lull of color. Not always have bluebloods won. It has been won by cab horses, and equines in their dotage. The record for the four and a half miles was made in 1900 by Ascetics Silver, wffiich covered the distance in 9:34 2-5. Eight or ten American horses will try it this month and the field of starters is expected to be around seventy. a a a a a a A NNIE OAKLEY was the best rifle shot among women in the days of the old wild west shows and she could show the men a thing or tw r o in perforating flying targets under the big top. Complimentary tickets (passes to you) w r ere named after Annie Oakley because they are punched —and that's what Annie did to anything tossed into the air when she drew a bead with her trusty rifle. Now comes the best woman pool shot of the west, the amateur champion at pocket billiards. Miss Georgia Veatch, Chicago school teacher. She will cross cues with Miss Dorothy Jenkins in a title match at the Allerton hotel, Chicago, March 9 and 10. It will be for 200 points, played in three blocks, fifty points on the afternoon of March 9, seventy-five that night, and another seventy-five on March 10, afternoon. a a a a a a ONE of the most amusing incidents in baseball occurred back in 1913, and involved William Nealon and Joe Briggs, outfielders for the New London club of the Eastern Association. Both were playing their steady game when a fly ball was hit between thpm. Th°y started after it with the crack of the bat. Joe saw Bill going for the easy out, and at the same time Bill saw Joe on the way. “I have it.” cried Joe. “I'll take : it,” yelled Bill. Whereupon both of them stopped and the ball fell for a fluke hit. The two outfielders stopped and eyed each other, exchanged a few digs, then stronger language, and soon they were at each other, hammer and tongs, oblivious to the fact that runners were scurrying around the bases. They had to be separated by teammates, and w r ere put out of the game. a a a a a a WILLIAM HARRJDGE. president of the American League, is visiting the big league training camps in Florida. He stopped off at Orlando and went out to the ball pack to watch the Brooklyn Dodgers go through the paces. Harridge was spied by Casey Stengel, jovial chief of the Flatbushers. "Ha! He's sizing us up and taking notes for the next world series," Casey remarked. a a a a a a Charlie Retz’aff, the prize fighter, used the judgment of Gene Tunney. As soon as Charlie earned enough he bought a farm and quit the ring. a a a a a a Pete Jablonowski, formerly a pitcher in the American Association and '‘Who saw some sendee in the big leagues, has changed his name to Jack Appleton. He is with the Baltimore Orioles now. Give them that applejack ball, Pete. ,

Casey Stengel Goes Easy on Rookies’ Feelings

BY CHARLES E. PARKER (Batting for Joe Williams) Time* Special Sports Writer ORLANDO. Fla., March 7.—Perhaps it was not tne best time to seek an interview with Casey Stengel on the humor of baseball. The new Dodger boss stood just abaft the portable backstop at Tinker field, fungo bat in hand, and on every side vast hordes of baseball tyros met his gaze. Some —those who had come at the club's expense or highly recommended by scouts of standing — were in Brooklyn uniforms. Others—young men who had thumbed their respective ways from all corners of the continent—were rigged in the soiled regalia of their school or town teams back home. Still others—many of them local kids who had absented themselves from school for the day or from their places of employment—showed nothing in the way of equipment except cheap baseball gloves. ana THE characters and the picture they presented are not uncommon to big league training camps Each one of those young men. I mused, has seen the same vision and dreamed the same dream—the vision and dream of baseball greatness. And. from his manner with me. I thought. Stengel was looking back through the years to the time when he first saw that vision and dreamed that dream ‘No." he answered me rather curtly, "no comedy today.' I felt nonplussed. As I choked back a sob of disappointment, Stengel turned to the nearest rookie. "So you're an inflelder?” he inquired. "Have you got any one dependent upon you? Well, that's

fine. I don't hit ’em hard to those who have dependents.” There was sincerity and kindliness in Casey's tones. From the look in his eves, one might assume he was thinking of his mother. It touched me. "Oh. I beg your pardon.” Casey apologized a moment later when his first grounder caromed off the glove of the rookie. "Mv error, absolutely,"* Casey protested as a second grounder sped between the candidate's feet.

Helen Kritsch Leads Women Bowlers With 609; Les Koelling Shoots 707 to Pace Men

BY PAUL STRIEBECK (Pinrh Hitting for Lcftv Lee) Helen Kritsch. a member of the Mausner Beer team of the Rose Tire Ladies' Soscial League at the Antler bowling alleys, took the spotlight in last night's session with a series of 203, 20S and 198 for 609. This total was not enough, however, for the Beer team and it dropped a couple of games to the Jack C. Carr five that had Meeker leading with 553, Wiesman 516 and Wiese 504. Mrs. Stultz showed some of the younger stars how it was done when she produced one of the best totals of the evening, a 549. including a 221. This series and a 505 by Hulibut gave the Happy Wonder Bakers a clean sweep over Polks Milk. Marctt Shoe Store with Mahoney 560. Finn 544.

The Commercial League at the Parkways alleys was blasting pins to high counts last night, Les Koelling taking the top honors on scores of 757. 223 and 227 tor 707, for Indianapolis News. Mohr gave Koelling some help with a 615 to take a pair from Crescent Paper, which was led by Red Mounts with 631 and Tuttercw with 60S. Wray took second honors with 223. 200 and 256 for 689. Along with that high total' of Wray's. Ortel shot 630 to give the Central States Envelope the odd game from Kingan A- Cos. that had C. Taxia. 634. and L. Sylvester. 607. Boston's 615 and N.

WHEN Casey Stengel, recently appointed pilot at Brooklyn, was a manager in the American Association, Indianapolis fans used to enjoy seeing him storm the premises when he thought a close decision went against his club. He was a thorn to the umpires. And old Casey was that way during his playing days in the majors. The evidence is pictured herewith, at the right. Stengel was an outfielder with the New York Giants at the time and the scene was at the Polo Grounds. a a a THE John Laws are shown escorting Casey off the field. Fact is, they seem to be pushing him off. The Giants were playing Philadelphia and when Casey was at bat a fast ball sailed by his ear. Casey sailed out into the diamond and took a punch at the Philly pitcher, Phil Weinert. The other day Manager Stengel said: “I don’t expect to see myself in a pickle like that again, but don't get me wrong! The Dodgers are going to be a fighting ball club, and we’re going to be fighting to win.” The Dodgers are in training at Orlando, Fla., and Casey has informed his players practical jokes are out. “I’ll take care of the comedy in this camp,” he stated.

IT occurred to me that the essential fineness of Stengel's character had been- lost to those who have been picturing him* merely as a baseball clown. What other manager, I asked myself, would have acted and spoken in that manner under similar circumstances. Other big league aspirants met I with the same gentleness and understanding. To one who had shown inability to make the throw from short to first Casey extended hope.

“The only trouble with you,” he said to him, “is the baseball rules. They insist that on ground balls the play on the batter is not complete until the ball is thrown to first and duly in control of the first baseman. As soon as they change that rule you'll be set for a big league job.” How much better that than a gruff growl. “Go get an arm before you come out here again.” Yet so many, many managers would have emitted that gruff growl.

With only four pins separating the first four leaders at the finish of the Delaware Sweepstakes, Dutch Myers, who was managing the tourney, went over the averages of all the leading team entrants with a "fine tooth comb." The re-check of all average records showed Jones-Maley holding their position and the $125 first prize with 3,213. Marott Shoes and Hoosier Pete will split the $125 which was the combined prize money for second and third places, as each team collected 3.211 pins with the aid of their handicaps. Coca Cola of the Anderson dnd. i. City League copped fourth prize with 3,209 and the Assessors of the Courthouse League took fifth place with Empire Life and Accident of the Delaware League trailing in sixth place with 3.185. Checks for the winners were available today noon at the Delaware alleys.

Mr. Faust has been disabled several weeks. The popular Leftv has displaved marvelous courage during his long spell of ill health and operations. The first operation, at the Methodist hospital, failed to restore Lefty’s strength and there has been little progress since. In the Community League at the Uptown alleys the Indiana Asphalt team won two games out of three from the St. Pats and the Frank Hatfield five annexed a pair from Meier Coal. Other teams in this league postponed their games of this week and will roll later.

Texas Grappler Topples Russian Opponent in Main Go Attraction of Hercules A. C.

BY CARLOS LANE Matros Kirilenko, migrant son of Russia, waded into a Texas Rain(e)storm in the Armory last night, but found it such a deluge that when the skies cleared he wasn’t certain he'd not been dunked in the Volga or laved with the whole of the Caspian sea.

Raines occasionally inserted his fingers in Kirilenko’s mouth and tugged at the corners; now and then he forgot to open a fist before it barged into the Russian’s midriff or jaw; once in a while he wound his fingers in Matros’ hair; and in his

Indiana Track Stars to Defend Conference Title

Bn United Press BLOOMINGTON, Ind.. March 7. Indiana university, which this week must defend the Big Ten conference indoor track championship it has held for the last two years, will depend on runners to retain the title. The championship meet will be held at Chicago Saturday. The Crimson's best chance for winning field event points probably is the pole vault. Steve Divich. a veteran, has reported in that department. He has recovered from injuries suffered last spring. Coach E. C. Hayes lias two great runners on his squad—Charles Hornboestel, holder of the unofficial world’s half-mile record, and Ivan Fuqua, one of Amerca's fastest 440yard stars, and 400-meter champion of five foreign countries. Both were members of the 1932 United States Olympic team. Already this year Hornboestel has

Lefty Gomez Signs 1934 Contract With Yankees Eccentric Hurler Takes Same Pay as He Received Last Year, Is Report as Crafty Southpaw Tacks Name on the Dotted Line. By United Press ST. PETERSBURG. Fla.. March 7—El Senor Vernon 'Goofy) Gomez, baseball's most eccentric pitcher and an exceedingly effective one, took his first workout of the season today. The gay caballero of the diamond galloped back into the New York Yanks fold last night by signing his 1034 contract. "All is well.” said Manager Joe McCarthy. “Optimism returns to Miller Huggins field.”

Bonura at First Base By Times Bp> ctol PASADENA. Cal.. March 7.—With the exception of the battery. Manager Lou Fonseca of the Chicago White Sox. in training here, practically has selected the lineup that will open the 1934 season for the Alabaster Hose. He also expects George Earnshaw to pitch the opening tilt of the championship season. April 17. Fonseca’s early lineup consists of Bonura, at first base; Hayes, second base. Dykes, third base; Appling, shortstop; Simmons, left field; Haas, center field, and Swanson, right field. The one change over the infield roster of the closing weeks of the 1933 season is Zeke Bonura at first base. Bonura, an Indianapolis castoff, hit .357 in the Texas League last year and has been slugging hard during spring training.

vival of the first with the same cast but with the final lines reversed. In nineteen minutes Kirilenko slammed Raines on the canvas a half dozen times and flopped on him for the fall. Those of the mob who lingered in the corridors for a last puff at a cigaret missed the final action. Two minutes after the wrestlers entered the ring Raines dropped Kirilenko with a back slam. It was about then that Matros caught on. He dragged a right hook from his shoe laces and plastered it on Raines’ jaw. But the bout was over; ring officials interceded and the fans went home. Lou Plummer scarcely worked up a sweat in the semi-final bout before Sol Slagel, Topeka <Ka.s.>, giant, tossed him with a crotch and slam. In the prelim Roland Kirchmeyer, former Oklahoma A. & M. grappler, and Frank Speer of Atlanta., Ga., went thirty minutes to a draw.

won a victory over Gene Venzke in the 800-meter race of the annual Knights of Columbus carnival at Brooklyn, and first in the 1.000-yard event of the Millrose games at Madison Square Garden, New York. At the latter meet he ran a spectacular last leg to give Indiana first in the mile relay. Last week Fuqua set anew Big Ten conference indoor record in the 440-yard dash when he made the distance in 49.3 seconds against Miller of Illinois. The time tied the American record for the event. A football injury has handicapped him recently, but he is believed fully recovered now and is expected to be in top form for the indoor title meet. Indiana also has capable dash men and middle distance runners in Don Harpold. Wes Bicking and Ted Thompson, all of whom participated in this year’s Millrose games. Bicking was a member of last year’s Indiana mile relay team, which won first at the Millrose event. In addition to Hornboestel, the Crimson has a sophomore halfmiler, Duke Hobbs, who is reported to be progressing more rapidly than did Hornbostel. Tap Godbold is a veteran distance runner. Hornboestel and Hobbs will be used in the mile. In the cross country run, the Crimson has Allan Weir and Herb Chattin, sophomores, who made fair showings in their first runs last fall.

Holdout business was nothing new to Gomez, that beanpole of a farmer boy from Rodeo. Cal. His procrastination came as a surprise this season because he had been offered a salary cut. Other players might have been expected to protest a slash in pay, but not the “goofy Castillian.” He has been doing the unexpected ever since his perturbing arrival in 1930. Unique Distinction Based on past performances, Lefty should not have objected to the cut. Only last season he achieved the unique distinction of being the only player in 1933 to hold out when offered a raise. When Gomez swaggered through the hotel lobby last night after autographing his one-year document, his angular face was wreathed in smiles. “Well, T won out.” he said. Newspaper men surrounded him. They thought he had chiseled a salary boost out of McCarthy. They congratulated him on the raise. “What raise?” asked Gomez. "I didn't get any : ise. I'm getting the same salary as last year.” The writers said “Oh-h!” His salary is understood to be $12,000. He’s Married Now Lefty was offered a cut because he did not pitch as well in 1933 as in 1932. On the other hand. Lefty explained to McCarthy, the reduction was unseemly because he had acquired a bride in 1933. Manager McCarthy has not been successful in coming to terms with catcher Bill Dickey.
