T ests Made For Science

MILWAUKEE, April 6 (U. P.)— What makes a six-day bicycle rider go ‘round? Dr. Eben J. Carey, dean of the Marquette University school of medicine, like many another observer of the sport, was interested to find out. So when Milwaukee had -its annual Marathon bike contest, Ernst Buhler, 29-year-old German racer, was subjected to a series of scientific tests to find out what kept him and his fellow racers going, Dr. Carey concluded: that the secret of a six-day bicycle racer’s apparently tireless energy is his ability to liquidate rapidly what medical men call “oxygen debt.” Four factors contribute to this ability, Dr. Carey decided. "He said they are great skill in racing, thorough training, carefully balanced diet and a naturally sturdy physique. The six-day bicycle racer has less of a digestive problem than many athletes, since the strain is mainly on his legs with comparatively little compression exerted upon the stomach, Dr. Carey said.

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., April 6 —Not that it disturbs the gentleman a great deal but Vernon Gomez, left-handed pitcher of the Yankees, is puzzled that people call him Goofy. . . . “Youd think I'm a crack pot,” he frowned. Mr. Gomez recalled some of the more rational episodes in his life.

There was the time he had an argument with Paul Andrews, another Yankee pitcher, about how long they could hold their breath. This interesting scientific experi-

ment was conducted down here in |

the spring of 31. Mr. Gomez maintained that since he talked more than Mr. Andrews his lung power was greater and therefore he logically figured to be superior in. a test of this nature. It was agreed the only fair way to

hold the test wa€ under water. This. 8 precluded the possibility of trick-

ery. The two noble experimenters decided a bath tub would serve. «I peat Andrews the first time,” recalled Mr. Gomez, who was dis-

98 | tressed he could not remember the

relative times. “But he demanded a return match and I gave it to him. TI always say there is nothing like being sporting. Some Villainy Afoot

“This time he beat me. I think he had been in secret practice. He had been crooning or hog calling or something. Naturally we had to play off the tie. Andrews went into the tub first. He was in better form than ever. He left me with a record of two minutes and something to shoot at, and ...” It developed that Mr. Gomez was well on his way to a new record and the championship of the breath holders when the telephone rang. It so happens Mr. Gomez has an incurable weakness for phones. He emerged swiftly from the walter, looking very much like a drenched corn stalk, only to learn the operator had called the wrong number. He is still wondering if he was the victim of a villainous plot. Being an intellectual himself, Mr. Gomez has the proper respect for high mental qualities in others. One of the masters for whom he had the deepest respeet was Tony Lazzeri, who functioned in the Yankee infield up to this year. That Brilliant Noodle The sports writers always sang hymns of praise to Signor Lazzeri’s brilliant noodle. Mr. Gomez was duly impressed. He even got to calling the signor Mr. Brain. “Well, last year we are playing

the Tigers in Detroit,” Mr. Gomez

recalled. “There are men on first and second and somebody hits a bali back at me. Crosetti is covering second but I wheel and throw to Lazzeri, who is 20 feet out of the play, and we don’t get anybody. “Lazzeri takes the ball and comes rushing in at me. ‘Why did you I was shocked to hear this coming from Mr. Brain, so I told him why I had thrown to him. I said ‘You are supposed to be so smart I just wanted to see what you would do on that kind of play.”

No Help at. All ;

On an earlier occasion—this in the ’'36 World Series,—Mr. Gomez had got himself into a tough spot. He had walked a couple of hitters and the Giants looked as if they might launch a dangerous rally. “I looked around for Mr. Brain as I always did when I needed a reliable person to do some heavy thinking for me, and he came over to the pitcher’s box. He had a very studious look on his face and I could tell he was going to be of great help. g ‘What shall I do now?” I asked. “Mr. Brain didn’t fail me. He had the answer. He said, ‘You put those

"guys-on there, now bear down and

get ’em off’. When you haye a fel-

low like Mr. Brain around, you can’t ‘help but get smart.” Mr. Gomez has had some unpleasant publicity of late in .connection with a fractured romance. Because of certain circumstances relating to the marital crackup Mr. Gomez was forced. to spend six weeks in Reno last winter. One night, bent on enlarging his knowledge of mathematics, he drifted in. to a gambling hall. There wasn’t much activity so Mr. Gomez took a seat behind one of the games-—the black jack table. Presently a party came up, threw down some dough and said, “Start ’em going.” Mr. «Gomez tried to explain he wasn’t - a dealer and that he was just sitting there minding his own business but the party demanded action. . , « “He had hit the game for more than $300 before the house man came over and kicked me out of the chair,” related the ungoofy Mr. Gomez.

Ernie Dusek Wins Over John Katan

Ernie Dusek, No. 1 rioter of the “rioting Dusek brothers,” today had added another victory to his list. His latest victim is John Katan of Canada, tossed by Dusek in straight

In hijs last appearance here Dusek hurled himself against a ring post and was knocked out in his tussle with Everett Marshall, In other bouts last night Silent Rattan defeated Flash Clifford; Abe Coleman of New York won over Pete Baltran of Texas and Jim| Coffield of Kansas City and Ray Villmer of St. Louis wrestled to a 30-minute draw.

Casts Doubt On Jones Plea

Golf Chief Hints Bobby Must Qualify for Open.

NEW YORK, April 6 (U. P.).— If Bobby Jones wants to play in this Open Championship he will have to qualify in regular sectional rounds just like any mashie wielder named Gus, President A. M. Reid of the U. S. Golf Assaciation indicated today.

Jones said that he might play in the Open at Denver June 9, 10 and 11 this year if the U. S. G. A. would exempt former champions from qualifying. “As much as Bobby means to golf and as much as I'd like to see him play in the open, I hardly see how the rules could be changed in time for this year’s tournament,” Reid said. “If anything is done about it, it will have to be within the next few days because the programs containing the. qualifying rules are ready for the printers now. It is entirely up to the executive committee which does not meet again until May 7.” Reid pointed out that of the 170 available places, 30 go to the lowscorers -of last year’s championships.

| The home club professional also is

exempt which leaves 139 places.to divide up among the other tournament golfers. 3 “It would hardly be fair to them to exempt a dozen or more former titleholders, reducing the available places to around 125,” he said.

Admiral and Seabiscuit May Meet in $1 00, 000 Race

NEW YORK, April 6 (U. P)—A pledge by the Westchester Racing Association of a $100,000 plirse was the one thing needed today to complete plans for a special match race between War Admiral and Seabiscuit at Belmont next fall. Amount of the purse was set by C. S. Howard, owner of last year’s handicap champion, Seabiscuit,” who said that a western track had offered $100,000 for his rose to race Samuel D:<Riddle’s 3-year-old handicap champion. The race was conceived first by Herbert Bayard Swope, chairman of the New York Racing Commission. Joseph E. Widener, president of the Westchester Association, was enthusiastic, but said he would have to confer with C. V. Whitney and other directors before he could agree to post the purse. Tentative plans call for a race of 1% miles with both horses carrying 126 pounds, or any other impost agreeable to both owners. War Admiral and Seabiscuit nearly met in the Washington Handicap at Laurel last fall, but a rain the night before caused Howard to withdraw. Seabiscuit does not like gooey going. Riddle sidestepped the issue when he shipped the Man O’ War colt to Florida instead of taking a shot at the $100,000 Santa Anita Handicap where Seabiscuit lost by a nose to Stagehand. Although War Admiral has been undefeated in his 10 starts, his earnings are topped by those of Seabiscuit. Howard's 5-year-old
