NEW YORK, Dec. 31 —(NEA)— Most baseball managers model | » i themselves after either John Mc | Graw or Connie Mack. Anybody ever associated with Meand many who never were, mimic him.

McGraw, but listen to the new Brooklyn boss: “I believe that I can do more good running the team from the bench than from the coaching lines. “I have never forgotten what John McGraw once said to me. He told me that if I ever got a job as manager in the major leagues I would be wise to stay off the coaching lines. I asked him why, and he said:

“ “Things happen on the fleld which need the manager's attention while his club is batting. “ “The pitcher may make a mistake, or an infielder or outfielder may make a play the wrong way. “It is up to the manager to point out the mistake and to ex-

plain to the player who made it |

where he was wrong. If the manager goes to the coaching line he loses the opportunity to talk to certain players at the right moment. Hire capable coaches and stay on the bench when your team is taking its turn at bat. “Until McGraw said that to me I believed that the manager should be on the coaching lines. “If the manager stays on the he can, during the time that his club is at bat, as McGraw said, discuss plays which were just made.

Striebeck reached his top | | series through 258, 277 and 226. | The Marott quintet nabbed team | scoring honors on a 3087, garnered from games of 1065, 945, 1077. Its two-time victims, Hudepohl Beer, nabbed the middle game. Top soloists of the match were Ed Stevenson with 683, Oscar Behrens | with 634, Harry Wheeler with 628 and Paul Stemm with 619 for the winners and Don McNew with 607 for the losers. The Barbasols fell before the World Champion Falls City quintet, which with four members over the 600 mark, tacked up a 2995 in its triple victory. Ray Roberson paced the team with 629, Carl Hardin had {a 615, Joe Fulton 608 and Freddie Mounts 604. For the losers, Don Johnson had a 640 and Jess Pritchett a 620.

Goodhue Totals 694

Earl Goodhue’s 684 from games of 225, 236 and 233 boosted Fenderick Restaurant to a 3055 total and a triple triumph over Marmon-Her-rington. With Manuel Schonecker aiding with a 626, the Restaurant team posted games of 968, 1072 and 1015. Paul Striebeck with a 603 was best for the losers. The L. S. Ayres rejuvenated lineup clicked to the tune of a 3005 total, but dropped two tilts to the opposing Lieber Beers, who gained the edge through winning the opener in a roll-off. With Jack Hunt at 644, Emery Cundiff at 624, Bud Argus at 617 and Bruce Johnson at 607 the Ayres team turned in games of 1000, 978 and 1027. Phil Bisesi and Bob Wuensch paced the Liebers with 646 and 621. Packard Motors took a two-time beating from Coca Cola in the remaining team match, Johnnie Goodwin topping the soloists with a 611 for the winners.

Hoosier Petes Shine

The reorganized Hoosier Pete quintet of the Uptown Recreation League went on a scoring spree in their games at the Uptown Alleys last night. L.ed by Freddie Shaw's | 692 and Bob Kelley's 655 the quin- | tet turned in counts of 971, 938 | and 1101 for a 3010, that was good { for a triple win over Beck's Coal {and Coke. Shaw used games of 198, { 216 and 277 for his big series. Kirt Lieber was also in a scoring mood, collecting a 676 through games of 221, 199 and 256, which combined with a 612 from Pearson, netted Puritan Bed Springs an odd-game decision over Schoen Bros, which had Erler’s 601 as its top contribution. The winners closed with a 1093. In other matches, Elder led L. Strauss & Co. to a shutout over Coca Cola with a 601; Newlin’s 603 boosted Klee & Coleman to a double victory over J. W. Bader Coffees. Herman Morgan totaled 610 with the unopposed Ko-We-Bas.

Young Joe last night toppled 666 pins in the St. Philip No. 2 League for his season's top series. He had games of 228, 233 and 210, leading Star Headliner to a two-game victory over Ellis Carburetor, which had John Gerlach's 605 as its top series. Jess Pritchett Jr. and Prior Smith were the lone honor shooters of the Polk Sanitary Milk Co. sessions at the Pennsylvania Alleys, the former totaling 625 and Smith 604.

Butler Works On Defensive

Wisconsin Victory Lineup to Meet Indiana.

The same Butler basketbail lineup that sent the Wisconsin Badgers home in defeat is expected to encounter Indiana University at Butler Fieldhouse New Year's night. Coach Tony Hinkle, in a hard scrimmage yesterday afternoon, gave the first indication of the five

that would start against the Hoosier quintet. With the reserves using Indiana's offensive plays, the varsity worked for several hours on a defensive combination that might stop the “point-a-minute” team.

Big Merrill at Center

“Big” Bill Merrill, junior, is to continue at center position, with Earl Gerkensmeyer and Willard Fawcett at forwards. These three men are to form the running attack to be used against the Hoosiers. william Geyer and George Perry are to see action again at guard positions. Speed and careful passing are to be the watchword tomorrow night, as the Bulldogs are to be outclassed in both height and weight by the Indiana five, Fred Fechtman, senior, is expected to have little trouble in controlling the tip for the Crimson team with his 6 feet 7 inches of height. He is the tallest man to play in the Fieldhouse this season.

Co-Captain at Forward

Forward posts in the Indiana offensive attack are to be taken care of by Co-Captain Kenneth Gunning and Robert Etnire. These two lads with Fechtman as the pivot man oF a “point-a-minute” team for the Hoo-

man and Joe Platt are expected to handle guard posts for the evening. Reports from both hardwood camps indicate Coaches Hinkle and Everett Dean have the same idea and wish their boys to start the New Year “out right” by winning tomorrow night's game.

Minor Sports

BY JIMMY DONAHUE NEA Service Sports Writer

Several sports heretofore considered minor in comparison with the majors hopped to the front in 1936. No less than 38,000 spectators saw

the Argentine polo team defeat the United States Greentrees in the first game for the Cup of the Americas. Intercollegiate basketball packed Madison Square Garden to the rafters. Wisconsin, which won only four games all season, played to 100,000 court fans in a dozen engagements. The sport that showed the most marked advance was skiing. This, no doubt, was due to the Olympic winter games, which publicized other winter sports along with skiing. Uncle Sam sent a team filled with hope to Garmisch-Partenkirchen. But those hopes were to be shattered, for all the United States could salvage out of the games was one first place, the victory of Ivan Brown and Alan Washbond in the two-man hob-sled event. Birger Ruud of Norway won the downhill ski event and ski jump, Franz Pfnur of Germany took first in the slalom event; Oddbjorn Hagen won the combination ski jump and 18-kilometer race; Ivar Ballangrud was winner of three speed skating titles; and Sonja Henie won her second Olympic figure skating title. Karl Schafer of Austria won the men’s figure skating crown.

Give Basketball Boost

The bitterest disappointment of the games from this country’s viewpoint was the defeat in hockey. Favored along with Canada to win the puck title, the Yanks found European hockey improved and, after | several disputes involving eligibility {of two members of the English | team, found John Bull walking off | with the honors, trimming Canada | in the final game. | The Olympics gave basketball a | big impetus. Sectional tournaments | were held in all parts of the coun= | try, and five college and five out- | standing amateur teams met in a | tournament in New York to deter- | mine the Olympic squad. Two ama- | teur squads, Universal Pictures of Hollywood and McPherson Oilers of | McPherson, Kas., met in the finals, with the former prevailing. A team | was picked from both these squads | to make the trip to Berlin, and tri- | umphed there, defeating Canada, | 19-8, for the Olympic title. | Swimming also benefited by the | Olympics. After tryouts in this | country, Adolph Kiefer took the 100-meter back stroke in Berlin; Jack Medica won the 400-meter free style; Dick Degener copped the springboard diving event; and Marshall Wayne was winner in platform diving, taking first place for the United States in the aquatic games. Women divers gave Uncle Sam another championship outfit when Dorothy Poynton Hill won the platform diving, and 13-year-old Marjorie Gestring won the springboard event. American women didn’t get far in the swimming events where laurels were monopolized by Hendrika Wilhelmina Mastenbrook of Holland, and her teammate, Dina Senff. The former won the 100 and 400-meter free style, and paced the winning 400-meter relay team, and the latter took the ]00-meter backstroke. It was this latter event in which Eleanor Holm Jarrett, barred from the team for drinking champagne on the trip across, excelled.

Limelight During 1936

In polo, Greentree, led by Tommy Hitchcock, won the United States Open title, and then dropped the Cup of the Americas to the invading Argentine team at Meadowbrook. The boys from the pampas, Olympic champions, snowed under the Yankees in two games. America did

manage to win the Westchester Cup again, defeating England's best at Hurlingham. Eric Pedley and Stewart Iglehart were the stars, and the latter was elevated to top ranking— 10 goals—for his work in that series. Crew racing was hotter than ever, probably due to the desire to represent Uncle Sam in the Olympics. University of Washington's shell, behind the inspirational drive of Coxswain Bob Moch, staged a sprint finish to overtake California and Navy and win at Poughkeepsie, then defeated Italy and Germany in a stretch drive in Germany. In auto racing, Louis Meyer of Huntington Park, Cal, won the Indianapolis Speedway 500-mile race for the third time, setting a new record of 109.060 miles an hour. Tazio Tuvolari, Italian speed demon, ran rings around the best drivers in the world when he copvoed the Vanderbilt Cup and $23,000 over some 340 miles of hairpin turns that make up the new Roosevelt Raceway. Gustav Kilian and Heinz Vopel, German six-day bikers who finished the 1035-36 season with a record of nine straight victories, gave way to two new teams in the first two races of the current session. The French duo of Ignat and Diot prevailed in Chicago. and the Americans, Jimmy Walthour and Al Crossley, became the first Yankee team in nine years to win the international race in New York.

Maple Leafs Fall

Hockey enjoyed a successful season, and wound up with the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs battling it out in the Stanley Cup finals. Jack Adams’ Detroit outfit finally prevailed, defeating the Leafs in three of four games. Wrestling’s crown went through the usual changes. Danno O'Mahony | held it at the beginning of the year, | and it rested on several domes be- | fore the year ended—those of Dick | Shikat, Ali Baba, Everett Marshall, | Dave Levin and Dean Detton. But | you still can find as many claimants | as there are fingers on both hands. | Champions of other sports during | the year were: Victor Barna of Budapest, world and United States men’s table tennis champions, and Ruth Hughes Aarons of New York, women’s world and United States titleholder. J. Murphy of Indianapolis, winner of the all-events title in the American Bowling Congress in Indianapolis. Ella Burmeister, winner of the all-events title in the women's bowling congress in Omaha. Ben F. Cheek, Clinton, Ind. garageman, who won the Grand American Handicap Trapshoot at Vandalia, O. Dick Shaughnessy, 14-year-old Boston boy, who won the all-gauge championship of the National Skeet shoot in St. Louis. Welker Cochran of San Francisco, who defeated the Japanese, Kinrey Matsuyama, to win the world threecushion billiard championship in Chicago.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 31.—Santa Clara's Broncos went through here today, catching only a sample of the excitement over their Sugar Bowl game tomorrow with Louisiana State. The Red and White standard bearers of Coach Buck Shaw are rived early from Houston, at breake fast, and were whisked out of town to Bay St. Louis, Miss, to spend a quiet day and night.

Gridiron Muddy For Sectional Tilt

Bu United Press SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 31.— Heavy turf for tomorrow's East-West football game was in prospect to= day, although the weather man said showers of the last few days would let up and skies would be clear a% game time. A muddy field probably would give the heavier West squad a slight advantage. The squads are to take final light workouts today, the West at Palo Alto and the East at Berkeley. They will move into San Francisco Fri day morning. A crowd of 50,000 is expected to attend the game, pro= ceeds of which go to the Shriners’ Home for Crippled Children. Babe Hollingsberry, in charge of the West team, looks to Sam Francis, Nebraska's all-America fullback, to provide the fireworks for the Western's offensive. Francis is equally adept as a runner, kicker and passer. And at hitting the line he hasn't a superior.
