By Eddie Ash Sea Marathon Is Big Event in Florida a a m Beer on Ice for Local Baseball Fans

JT’S a great sport, mates, even if we don’t know much about it except hearsay and pointers picked up watching racing yachts put through the paces in inlets and inland waters. Anyway, it’s a great sport for the men who make it their hobby and the big sea-going annual derby soon will be under way from St. Petersburg, Fla., to Havana, Cuba. The Florida to Havana dash is an important sports event in that territory and the finest of craft line up for the start each spring. The sea marathon this year will be the fifth annual. At noon March 31, off the shore at St. Petersburg, the sailors aboard a coast guard cutter will be given a signal to fire, and the crack of their gun will usher in the 284-mile race to Havana. Sleek sail boats backed by plenty of wealth, will leave the starting line and the battle of the breeze and waves will be on. The east will endeavor to break the supremacy of the south this year, for in the four previous events the southern gentlemen have dominated. a a a ana THE 56-foot schooner Windjammer, owned and skippered by Commodore Gamer H. Tullis of the Southern Yacht Club, New Orleans, and Haligonian, belonging to Houston Wall of St. Petersburg, have monopolized the sailing to date. Windjammer won the race two out of three years in class A—in 1930 and 1932 —and finished second in 1931 to the Sunshine, owned by H. S. Denniston, of Mobile, Ala. She did not compete last year. Haligonian has won out in class B each year and last season finished first in the classic. The boats race in two classes —class A lor yachts not over 75 feet overall; and class B for yachts not over 50. a a a a a a Hr HE distance of the sea “Walkathon” is said to be 284 nautical miles, down the west coast of Florida and then across the deep blue of the Gulf of Mexico. A prominent yacht race sportsman gives an idea of the description of the event as follows: “The course is not an extremely dangerous one, although the two or three days it will take to complete the distance should furnish the sailors with all the elements * that go to make ocean racing an exciting pastime. Endless variety is there, for seldom are two days alike under sail at sea. Any one who ever has had any experience in open sea racing knows w r hat it is to crawl out of a bunk for a mid-watch; to feel the ship shudder as she sticks her nose into a wave and hear the splash of spray across the decks that follows; to put on wet oilskins and hand-haul yourself on deck, and sit huddled at the wheel.’’ a a a ana HERE is a hot tip lor the local baseball customers who enjoy a quaff of cool beer for parched throats during an exciting game. It is said the real article of beverage will be on sale at Perry stadium this season, and it won’t be so tough waiting between double-headers and between twilight and moonlight twin attractions. A hot dog followed up by a bottle of foamy amber won’t be hard to take for the fans who like their hops. And peanuts that float doubtless will be in demand. The oldest inhabitant possibly will be able to recall when beer last was dispensed at a league park in Indianapolis, but it is beyond the memory of the current generation of rooters. The first home game will be April 24, Toledo at Indianapolis. How many, please? a a a a a a RED KILLEFER'S Indians are going to be dressed in style again this year. The boys in training camp at Evansville are using old uniforms and the new “unies” will be kept here until the championship season opens in the American Association. The home uniforms will be white, trimmed in navy blue and red, and the road uniforms will be gray, trimmed in blue and red. The new home togs were purchased through the Em-Roe sporting goods store and the road uniforms were bought from Spalding's. Dark blue uniforms trimmed in white will be worn by the Indians when night ball begins late in May or early in June. The club is still going on the theory, however, that two night games a week will be sufficient this season unless attendance at daylight ball falls below their new expectations. a a a a a a RACING automobiles never grow old. On the major racing circuit today cars that were built as long as ten years ago still are winning races. This is possible because, with cars being “torn down’’ after every major event and worn parts replaced and with mechanics and engineers adding new improvements each year, a racing automobile continually is being "rejuvenated.” The car in which Lou Schneider won the Indianapolis 500-mile race two years ago, originally was built ten years ago. In the first known automobile race in 1894 (from Pans to Rouen, F’rance) 104 cars attempted to exceed the minimum qualifying speed of seven and three-fourths miles an hour. A far cry from that is the existing American speedway qualifying record of 147 miles an hour set at Amatol Speedway, Atlantic City, May 7, 1927.

Bill Terry Eyes Giants Closely in Warmup Session

BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Sports Writer TkflAMI. March 21. Mr. Bill IVA Terry stood on the first base coaching line at Flamingo Park and barked: ‘‘Shake it up out there, you guys." Adolfo Luque. ageless Cuban pitcher, who fanned the last hitter in the world series to make the Giants the champions of baseball, was hitting to the infield, and Vergez. Critz and Jackson were whipping the ball around. “Yep, shake him up out there, you guys,’ parroted the Cuban as a tropical sun beat down on his sweatdrenched face. The Giants were holding a laboratory session and this infield work, designed to develop deftness, speed and sure handedness, was one of the details that go into the making of a championship ball club. If you tarry around long enough you can see the stiffness and uncertainty fall away from the timerusty legs and arms of the players; you can see the old smoothness and elasticity return; you can understand the value and necessity of spring training. Through it all Mr. Terry watches every move with a trained, studious eye. Nothing escapes him. If there is not enough snap to the play around second base it is tried again at his command. Does an infielder come in too fast, or start too slow, he is told about it and the exercise is repeated. a a a IF John McGraw was a stickler for detail in training his youthful successor is cut from the same kidney. It may be that he is a greater stickler than McGraw was He is executive by nature and with him organized efficiency in everything is something of a fetish. His theory’ is that nothing happens by chance in a ball game.

that a great player becomes a great player through work, and that when a great play is made it can be traced back to the work that went into the mastering of the fundamentals. The Giants will come back to the Polo Grounds as well trained and well drilled as any team that ever represented the metropolis. If it fails to repeat, the burden of proof will be on the men themselves, not the way they were conditioned for the 1934 race. There need never be any fears that Mr. Terry does not know how to get a ball club ready.

Kirilenko Takes Decision as Raines Is Disqualified

BY CARLOS LANE Matros Kirilenko, the Russian leopard-man heavyweight mat gladiator, last night sought revenge in the Armory’ ring here, and got it on paper but scarcely in fact. Rematched with Dick Raines, who toppled him here two weeks ago, Kirilenko copped last night’s decision in the Hercules A. C. main go on Raines’ disqualification for slugging. But the Russians’ victory was soured by the beating administered by the former Texas cowboy and movie stunter. Matros was the people's choice—and there were fifteen hundred of them around to choose—from the minute he stepped into the ring. RAY EDDY TO PLAY WITH KAUTSKY FIVE The Kautsky A. C.'s will return to the Armory Sunday afternoon to batle the Big Savoy Five from Chicago. Negro champions of the middle west. A defeat was handed the locals two weeks ago by the Negro lads and the Kautsky's will present their strongest lineup of the season. With the addition of Ray Eddy, this year's captain at Purdue, who was considered the best ball handler in the Big Ten, the locals have a great scoring combination in Johnny Wooden. Murphy and Eddy. With big Paxmenter getting them off the backboard and Christopher, Cat Wooden and Schultz ready for the other starting position, local fans will be assured of a great battle.

18 Chances Is Slade’s Record By Ti me* Special TAMPA, Fla., March 21. Although the Cincy Reds lost to the Columbus Amercian Association Club here yesterday in fifteen innings, 6 to 4, the big leaguers were cheered over the performance of Gordon Slade at sfiortstop. He gave one of the best fielding exhibitions ever recorded in a spring training contest. Slade accepted eighteen chances without a slip, and at least eight were of the difficult variety. Gordon also smacked out a single and triple for the Reds. A scratch double by Parham, a triple by Hodapp and a single by Heath accounted for two Columbus runs in the fifteenth inning and ended the long battle, one of the most interesting staged in the grapefruit league this year. Only one miscue was chalked up. and that against Columbus.

Other cities to be represented are: South Bend, Gary, Lafayette, Cambridge City (Miller A. C.), Ft. Wayne, Kokomo, Louisville, Evansville, Terre Haute and Vincennes (two teams). PAUL DEAN PITCHES, BUT CARDINALS LOSE By Time* Special BRADENTON, Fla., March 21. Manager Jimmy Wilson of the Philly Nationals, formerly with the Cardinals, led his team to victory over the St. Louis club yesterday, 12 to 7. The Phillies rallied for seven runs in the sixth inning. Paul Dean, brother of Dizzy, worked three innings on the Cardinal mound and held the Phillies scoreless. Ernie Orsatti, holdout outfielder, signed with the Cardinals yesterday, and Burleigh Grimes, veteran pitcher, joined the St. Louis camp.

What then about the men themselves—are they good enough to make it two in a row? a a a TIA'R. TERRY thinks they are. Indeed, he is almost positive about it. He tells you the club is better than it was a year ago, and since it was good enough to win then, isn’t it logical to assume that it should repeat? “We’ll get better pitching, and there will be a sharper bite in our attack,” he explains. “If Clark comes through for us I’d say we were a cinch, but even

barefoot, and shed his leopardskin jacket. The ringside visitors were not only willing to recognize Russia; they were anxious to support the fiveyear, or any plan to seat Matros on tl\e Texan's perspiring chest for the three-second count. Kirilenko accommodated the fans in two and a half minutes with a back slam. In the second period Matros worked up his temper, usually no more easily awakened than a case of sleeping sickness, sufficiently to adventure mildly into the system of hair-grabbing and slugging, but Dick bested him. tossing the Russian in thirty minutes with a reverse headlock. Soon after the big boys came back for the final tumble Raines started slugging. Kirilenko recovered from one onslaugh to butt the Texan groggy, but in turn wilted under a defensive kick and a barrage of rights to the jaw. Referee Heze Clark disqualified Raines and gave the match to Kirilenko. In the semi-final bout, Frank Speers of Atlanta, who a few years ago thundered over the gridiron as a Georgia Tech all-America lineman, threw Joe Metheney of Chicago, a smaller and faster opponent. Speers hurled Metheney to the canvas several times with slams and finally fell on the unconscious Chicagoan for the decision, nineteen minutes after Clark started the bout. Jagad Singh, the Hindu mat ace, followed his eight-inch moustache into the ring and followed it out again in the curtain raiser bout with Joe Cox of Kansas City. Cox dumped the Indian in eighteen minutes with a crotch and slam. CARIDEO HOLDS BERTH Frank Reappointed Head Coach at Missouri; Sleight Retained. By Times Special ST. LOUIS. March 21.

if he doesn’t we’ll still have enough pitching.” Clark is the young man who came to the Giants by trade from Brooklyn, but was of no service last year because of an assortment of ailments. This year he seems to be all right again. Yesterday he warmed up for an hour with no discouraging effects. To Mr. Terry he looked as good as ever. a a a HOW about Jackson—will his legs stand up over a long stretch of play?

Seek to Match Amateurs, Pros By United Press NEW YORK, March 21.—An offer to sponsor an exhibition tennis match with Fred Perry of England, and Jack Crawford of Australia, was telephoned here by the Telegraph of Sidney, Australia, to Bill Tilden and Ellsworth Vines. “We agreed to play,” Tilden told the United Press. “Os course for such a match to be played between professionals such as Vines and myself and Perry and Crawford, amateurs, sanction would have to be given by the International Tennis Federation.

“Take a look at him yourself,” answered Mr. Terry. “Can you see anything wrong with his legs?” At that precise moment the veteran had made a running playback of second, whirled on the instant, and fired the ball to first. There certainly seemed to be nothing wrong with his legs. “But then,” I suggested, “July is a long way off. Mr. Terry admitted you could not always tell in March what midseason w r ould bring in baseball. “I think Jackson is better than he has been for several years, but even if he should crack up I’ve always got Blondy Ryan to fall back on.”

Tribe Chief Steps Off Fast Pace in Training Killefer Swings Into Action Himself at Evansville and Keeps Indians on Move: Fungo Hitting and Fly Chasing on Camp Program Today. By Times Special - EVANSVILLE, Ind., March 21.—With an improved brand of weather on tap, but with the playing field somewhat soft, the Indians of Red Killefer hoped to get out today and chase the ball around Bosse stadium greensward. Fungo hitting was planned for the first time and the rookies and veterans were advised to get ready to "shag” fly balls. Only routine work was carried out yesterday, the second day in camp for the first squad of Tribesters from Indianapolis. The boys received plenty of exercise, however, in calisthenics and throwing. Some of the pitchers “let out” a little and Chief Killefer said the hurlers will be fairly well along when heavy batting practice starts next week.

Regular infiielders and outfielders are due to report Sunday or Monday to launch the stick work. Killefer was pleased with the spring-like w’eather yesterday and is anxious for the whole squad to be on hand. He went into action himself and received the slants of pitchers Bolen, Thomas, Logan, Wright and others. Tribe drills now begin at 11 a. m. instead of at 10:30, with at least two hours on the field and on some days three. When the second squad of athletes arrives the Indians may practice in two sections, one in the morning and the other in afternoon. Information has reached Evansville that the Cincy Reds Colts, scheduled to play the Indians here in exhibition games from April 10 to 15 inclusive, will have some of the Redleg veterans with them. Spark Adams will be playing manager of the Colts and will play third base. Ray Kolp of the Reds’ regular mound staff, will perform against the Tribe and also Harry Rice, veteran outfielder. Scout Jimmy Williams will have charge of the big leaguers.
