By Eddie Ash MANUFACTURE ‘COLOR* FOR GEHRIG mm* GREAT STAR LACKS SHOWMANSHIP

N E\V YORK sports writers are doing their best to pump “color” into Lou Gehrig, the stalwart first baseman. He is the outstanding star of the American League and only yesterday signed a 1935 contract said to read for $30,000. The goal of the New York Yankees is to bear down on Gehrig publicity and build him up into a second Babe Ruth from the standpoint of crowd frenzy. Lou'always has been a star ball player, but there is something in his makeup that fails to “pull” the fans. It’s a lack of showmanship and now the Yankee officials are going to try to manufacture it. It will l>e a tough job. Gehrig has everything except the power to fill the stands. Heretofore newspapermen have found him difficult to Interview and photographers have discovered a certain unobliging attitude in the powerhouse first baseman. Moreover, he is easily ruffled by nicknames and is offended when the scribes refer to him as Hungry Lou or Biscuits Pants. Babe Ruth let them call him anything. For a time the Babe was known as the Big Monkey, but he appeared to relish the description, laughed and continued to hit home runs. It's going to be a task for Gehrig to transform his habits to a point where the public will accept him as a second edition of the Mighty Babe.

He'll Dazzle 'Em GEHRIG has promised to become ■ affable, obliging and hi other ways a subject of fan worship and discussion. He used to shun fancy clothes. Now he Is going to put on the dog and go in for rakish togs. Lou was not pushed into the background by Ruth. Asa marter of fact Babe endeavored to help put some flourish into Gehrig's style, but met with little success. It will be interesting to watch the “new' Gehrig” this year. He wasted little time in accepting salary terms and evidently is determined to emulate Ruth on and off the field during the Coming campaign. Gehrig has the necessary physique ind slugging ability to smash records all down the line—and maybe he'll do it. The last time the Yankees played Cn exhibition game in Indianapolis Gehrig played the part of the wall flower. He was sullen, kept out of the crowd's sight before game time and refused to play first base, his Tegular position. On the other hand Babe Ruth kept active on the diamond before game time, exchanged gossip with the fans, pitched three innings of the game and then finished out at first base. Lou played right field and merely went through the motions of baseball. Showmanship plays an important part in all sports—baseball, football, boxing, wTestling, golf. It makes the headlines. man Big Race on Air THE running of the rich Santa Anita handicap for a purse of 8100.000 will be described over a National Broadcasting Company network direct from the Los Angeles race track by Clem McCarthy, veteran sports writer and racing authority. on Saturday.

New Threats Loom in Rich Turf Feature Gillie and Royal Blunder Rate at Santa Anita After Victories. By Unit* and Press LOS ANGELES, Feb. 20. —With Twenty Grand a sure starter in the SIOO,OOO added Santa Anita Handicap Saturday, turf followers today awaited word from Trainer Bill Brennan of the Greentree Stable on whether Gillie, running mate of the veteran, would be entered in the rich event. Gillie was nominated for the handicap but was not considered a •likely starter until he won the $20,000 added Santa Anita Derby, Saturday. Brennan said he would not decide until tomorrow or Friday morning, when the entry fee of SIOOO must be paid. Veterans in Condition Although entered in the Florida Derby next month at Miami, Gillie was kept here to run in the handicap in case Twenty Grand was unable to run. Twenty Grand came out of Monday's race against Equipoise in good condition, with hardly a trace of the limp that almost caused him to be scratched earlier. Equipoise also is ready, his trainer, Tom Healey, reported. The C. V. Wh tney entry of Equipoise and Higii Glee was quoted locally as favored to win. The unexpected triumph of Royal Blunder in the Beverly Handicap yesterday added another to the list or important starters in Saturday’s race. Riskulus Is Injured Royal Blunder, owned by Tom Donley, ran the mile in 1:37 4-5, winning as he pleased by two and a half lengths from Onrush. The horse had been listed as a probable starter but was not considered a match for horses like Twenty Grand. Equipoise, Mate and others until yesterday’s victory. Norman Church’s Riskulus, longshot entry in the handicap, came up with a bruise after stepping on a stone in a workout yesterday. Although Trainer Woodword Fitzgerald said he would have the colt ready Saturday, handicappers ranked him as a doubtful starter. Azucar, Head Play, Mate and Ted Clark appeared in condition after workouts yesterday. Mate ivent a full mile and a quarter in 2:06 1-5 and did not appear to be pressing.

Steele Slams Out Verdict Over Teuton Mat Husky Californian Is Unpopular Victor After Tossing Kampfer Over Ropes in Armory Wrestling Melee, Might is not always right, at least in the WTestling business, it seems. Ray Steele, California heavyweight veteran, proved this last night by dumping Hans Kampfer, 225-pound German “Hercules,” in the feature tussle of the Hercules A. C. program at the Armory, much to the chagrin

of a large crowd. Previous to this, the European strong man had given the vaunted Mr. Steele a thorough and none too gentle going over. Hans went to work right at the start, and the bronzed Californian spent practically all of the 18 minutes of the first fall on the canvas, twisted into various knots. Several times he resorted to fisticuffs to squirm free. Reverse headlocks and assorted arm and wrist locks were the German giant’s chief stock in trade, but he wound up the initial stanza with a series of flips and slams that chilled Steele into submission. Kampfer Goes Over Ropes Kampfer was out in front again in the second fall when Steele suddenly broke out with a series of near-strange holds. Then he hoisted Herr Kampfer above his head and walloped him to the mat, knotting the count at one fall each. The time was 16 minutes. Since slams were in vogue, Herr Kampfer decided to try his luck again as the deciding heat got under way. But Steele turned the tables. He hurled the husky Teuton over the top rope and into the aisle. Kampfer’s back hit the edge of the ring on the trip down and it was all over except the shouting, which in this case was a chorus of boos for Steele. The final fall lasted only three minutes. Harper Misses Mark Handsome Paul Harper, the Texan, missed his target, who happened to be Bronko Nagurski, famed gridiron star, and wound up on the losing end of a lively tussle. The Bronk found the sailing very rough during the 17 minutes of action preceding Harper’s inaccurate marksmanship. Paul bounced off the first row chairs after plunging through the ropes, and when he crawled back in the ring, Nagurski slammed him to the mat for the decision. Fred Grobmeier, the lowa cornstalk, wrapped his long legs around the ample midsection of Pete Schuch, 235-pound Texan, after II minutes of rough tussling to win the opener. Sonny Pilz Annexes Close Billiard Tilt Sonny Pilz, competing for the first time in the Indiana state threecushion billiard tourney, scored his third victory of the meat when he topped Leonard Quill, 50 to 47, at Cooler’s parlor last night.

Campbell. Today we find him in the Clarendon Hotel. Daytona Beach, waiting for Malcolm Campbell to shoot at a speed of 300 miles an hour, a mile in 12 twinkling seconds. He works alone, for nobody else understands his job; he walks alone for his interest is centered in his job, and he. alone, knows it. You never see Porter without his wooden box. In the box, which is plastered with labels reading “do not touch.” “handle with care" and “hands off, please,” is the intricate, delicate, timing machine. tt tt tt IT is the only one of its kind in the world. And the best, and most accurate. Built in 1909, it has been gradually improved until it's foolproof. It has no name. Porter calls it “his box” and let’s it go at that. Let something happen to him or to his box. and Campbell might just as well return to England. Let’s make it clearer. Campbell, shooting for 300, comes down the beach on his southward run at 295 m. p. h. Porter and his little box catch him. On the return trip, with the wind to his tail, Campbell gives Bluebird the gun. Riding in the cockpit, the motors and wind singing a song of triumph, he whips through the measured mile, knowing anew high mark is his. He finishes, and from the far end of the beach calls Porter and asks his speed. And Porter, because something went wrong with his little box, doesn’t know. Somehow, Campbell’s car crossed without tripping the wire. a tt tt SO Porter, and he sweats when he thinks of such a moment, must order Campbell to run again, to ride out once more and punch it out with death. It is the thought of such an occurrence that makes Porter the most miserable man in Daytona Beach. Suggest such a happening to him, with a look of anguish on his face, he begs you to quit. “It happened to me once, you know,” he says. “It was in 1928, when Ray Keech was trying to break Campbell’s mark of 206 and something. One hundred and three times Keech made runs under the record, and I caught him every time. Then, on the 104th attempt, he went down at 207. All he needed to do was to come back at the same speed. And he had the wind with him. “Back he came, like a comet. And I missed him. Missed him completely. His tachometer showed he had broken 210 coming back. Yet he might just as well have not run at all, for I had missed him. He cried. But there was nothing I could do. I told him unless he went out again for a northward run in 30 minutes, his southward run would be canceled. He went out and established anew average of 207.55.” (Copyright, 1935, by United Press) Mrs. Hurd in Tourney By United Press HAMILTON, Bermuda, Feb. 20.
