crowd to approximately 5000. Jules Audy’s bid for a 220-yard dash record was unsuccessful. Taking off from a fiying start given him by Buhler, his partner, the blond Canadian rode the distance in 129 seconds. To set a record, he would have had to negotiate the 220 yards in 124 seconds. However, it was pointed out that Audy used ordinary racing equipment instead of a special bike buiit for short dashes and he had Just finished a two-mile sprint.

By JOE WILLIAMS : ‘Times Special Writer : SEBRING, Fla., April 8—You may he interested in a few lines about the Newark Bears. They train in this sedate town of murmurous pines and placid lakes. Next to Rex Beach, the famous author, they are the best tourist bait around. Some of the boys said the '37 Newark model was the best minor league team in history. This was probably slapping it on a bit thick. Such critical estimates are always premature anyway. The best way to . determine the greatness of a

second, Blair at short and May at third. Blairds the young man they are talking about—he’s touted as
the Gordon of the 38 camp. Has
a fine arm, can hit, is fast, and thinks the American form of Government is all right. Already you hear . . . “He’s the guy who will be taking Frank Crosetti’s place two or three years from now.” This gives you an idea of how the Yankees operate, how far they look
ahead. The primary function of the Newark Club—and the newly acquired Kansas City club in the American Association—is to incubate new cocks of the walk for the Ruppert barnyard. The fair-haired boy of the Bears is still Charley Keller who came out of the University of Maryland last year to win the batting championship of the International. That was the first time that had
ever been done in just that pre-
cise manner. Of course, they are getting Keller ready for the Yankees, too. A promising pop vendor, a bookkeeper or a telephone operator always has a chance to advance from Newark to the Yankees. Or so it seems anyway. Keller swings from the left side of the plate and the notion is he
will find the comparatively short |
right field stands at the Yankee stadium very inviting. So this is what you hear. . . . “Now when Gehrig passes on Keller will be ready to step in there with his power.” . « « What blasphemy! As if Gehrig ever will pass on,
