YOU PICK ‘em up and lay ’em down in that outfield and Hank Greenberg, a lumbering fellow, is sure to meet difficulty in learning the fly hawks’ gait. As a first sacker, Hankus Pankus used a large-sized glove... . . As a matter of fact, Judge Landis had to make a new ruling to prevent Greenberg from wearing a pillow.
An outfielder has to be
off at the crack of the bat
and know by instinct where the ball is going. . . . And it takes a lot of training to learn that trick. ... It’s not going to be an easy spring training trip for Detroit's home run slugger.

Why Murphy Is Coupled With Sande
ISAAC MURPHY, the great Negro jockey of the 1880's and 1880’s, was forced to ride Buchanan, victor in the .Kentucky Derby of 1884. . . . It was that triumph which makes it possible to couple Murphy's name with that of Earl Sande as rider of the most Derby
winners—three.
Murphy had piloted Buchanan at Nashville prior to the running of the Derby, and, after that experience, vowed he would never accept
the mount again. . . actors of all time, and even during no, anticipating what he would do.
. The chestnut colt was one of the worst post

Murphy, at Nashville, had to stand for Buchanan's rodeo tactics at the barrier, and then, when the race was on, Buchanan decided to
go on bolting excursions, which the track.
carried him zig-zagging along
“That's the last time I ride him,” Murphy told Cottrell & Guest,
owners of Buchanan.
“You're going to ride him in the Kentucky Derby,” he was
informed. 2 =
WHEN ARGUMENT could not get Murphy to change attitude, a complaint was filed with the Louisville Jockey Club, which then operated Churchill Downs. . . . Murphy immediately was informed that if he didn’t ride Buchanan in the Derby he would not be permitted any other mount in the race. This was followed by intimation that if he did not fulfill his contract to ride Buchanan he might draw a long suspension. . . . All this continued to worry Murphy, and a day or so before the race
“he capitulated.
Buchanan went through his rearing and plunging routine at the post, broke in a tangle, but ran true, and Murphy brought him home a winner by two lengths. . . . That Derby victory, together with those on Riley (1890) and Kingman (1881) gave Murphy his total of three, Sande having Zev (1923), Flying Ebony (1925) and Gallant Fox (1930).
If Master Lee Comes Through, Look Out!
IF THE colt Robert E. Lee goes like the wind and preps well for the Kentucky Derby, the Old South will get all hopped up again and put the Civil War back in circulation. Robert E. Lee was bred in the Kentucky Blue Grass and is related to Bimelech. . . . He was purchased at the 1938 Saratoga sales by Lord Carnavon and last year he became the undefeated 2-year-old champion of England. . . . At the outbreak of the war the colt was shipped back to America and is stabled at Belmont Park.

Much-Traveled Capitals Ride Over Syracuse, 8-3
Tt might not be a bad idea for Manager Herbie Lewis to equip his . hockey boys with box lunches and ship them to Hershey this evening on the night local. Returning for their game here Sunday against
| Cleveland, they might ride a caboose and eat out of the brakemen’s unch pail. : All {his is just a brainstorm resulting from the Capitals’ traveling experiences of the last few days which apparently had no ill-effect on their stick-and-skate efficiency. Train schedules being as they are, Lewis and his team had to take the westbound mail out of’ Philadelphia to keep their date with Syracuse here last night, Came the Caps’ 4 p. m. dinnertime yesterday, and they learned the train carried no diner. So Herbie had to wire ahead to have meals ready for the boys when they arrived
home at 5:30. : . No Bicarbonate Needed
The Hoosier put down their steaks, put on their skates and proceeded to give Syracuse an 8-3 _walloping without once complaining of indigestion or heartburn. The Caps made no secret of the fact that they intended to hang one on the Stars. Right from the start our boys refused to let the visitors get out of their own zone, and in 53 seconds had scored. Carl Liscombe caged the disc on assists py Bob Whitelaw and Don Dea-
n. That was just the first of many visitors Bill Beveridge, Syracuse goalie, was to have at his front door. Gus Giesebrecht was back in six minutes for the second tally, and Archie Wilder paid a call: at 50. > M0 when the Stars had the opportunity to get into the attacking zone, brilliant defensive play by the Caps stalled them. Bob Whitelaw personally snuffed a drive by Coach Jack Markle early in the period,
e Hec Kilrea answered Goalie | md Jr Moore's plea for help in then
last minute. Convey Poses a Question. Kilrea's shot into the cage early in the second period drew the
eers after Liscombe had escorted The disc into the offensive area.
rracuse’s first score came at 17:43 B¢ianap
of this session, Locking firing the hot in the cage on assists by Markle. and Maxie Bennett. This state of affairs didn’t make for pleasant Syracuse dispositions, and when Buck Jones used his stick to heckle Eddie Convey, the . Stars’ center skated up to Referee Eddie Burke and asked, “Do you ant me to get him an ax.” .
lured Beveridge away from his station on this attempt. By this time the Capitals were going in for solo €xpeditions, and only a brilliant save by Beveridge stopped Bush's one-man assault. Deacon came out of a crowd at the Indianapolis end of the ice much as a halfback starting off on a wellplanned reverse. Don was all the way down the rink before the 8. O. S. could be-answered. This score came less than 30 seconds after the second Syracuse oal. The sharp-witted Convey registered this one, and assists went to D. Klein and Bill Cunningham. Deacon, Bush and Whitelaw staged the next successful Indianapolis attack, Whitelaw setting off the red beacon. Bill Thomson tallied the final Indianapolis goal at 13:04, and Gordon Kuhn, left winger, fired in Syracuse's third. Jack Keating of the Stars, not. to be confused with Jack Keating of the Capitals, stood in front of the Caps’ cage during this attack and hid the puck from our Alfie. Although he didn't make the scoring column; Bert McInenly of Syracuse deserves mention both for his offensive and defensive performances. Bert gave the Stars most of what power they had and did his best ‘to help Beveridge keep the cage clean. ' Referee Burke sent .three players to the penalty box during the game, all on charges of boardchecking. MecInenly and Liscombe served two-minute stretches in the first period, and Sandy Ross did a turn in the second. Sandy’s bit of rough work, incidentally sent Greg Coulson, Stars’ winger, to the sidelines for several minutes, The Capitals were a happy bunch in the dressing room after avenging Syracuse’s earlier 8-3 victory.

Heads South of the Border "To See Girl Jockeys— Trouble Ahead?
BY HENRY M'LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent
HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Feb, 2.— Yesterday as I was sitting around having a cocktail in the same city with Hedy Lamarr, Lana Turner, Vivian Leigh and Jean Arthur, someone mentioned that girl jockeys were going to ride in a race at the Agua Caliente track on Sunday. Had they said a submarine had been sighted in my bathtub I couldn’t have been more interested, and I immediately told one of my social secretaries to catch a streetcar and go ask the parole commissioner if it would be all right for me to go to Mexico over the weekend.
Join in on the Chorus
If he consents to let me go south of the border, down Mexico way (I'm singing at this moment, even if you arent), I'll be at Caliente when the girls get to galloping. Without ever having seen girl jockeys in actidn I strongly suspect there is going to be a lot of trouble connected with the whole thing. In the first place, no one is going to be able to identify the jockeys. Don’t try to tell me that any girl is going to wear any silks that are handed to her, regardless of colgr, cut, or fit. The blond fockesf are going to insist on becoming shades of blue, no matter what the real colors are of the owners they are riding for. And if you think any red head in the bunch is going out dressed in a cerise shirt, then you don’t know as much about women as I do. Another thing, what woman is going to pay any attention to the instructions given to her in the paddock by the trainer? The average woman is independent enough, but give one of them a whip, as these girl jockeys will have, and she’ll be her own boss,
Weights? Probably Phony Then there is the question of the weights. As all you old horse players know the weight a horse carries is very important. But who'll ‘be able to Lelieve the weights at Agua Caliente on Sunday? Women just don’t go around revealing their honest weights. Don’t be surprised if, after this race with the girl jockeys, you read such startling information as this: “Miss Fifi Mahoney was suspended for 10 days by the stewards for throwing her compact at Jockey Marie Dizzione while rounding the far turn.” . Or— “Miss Eunice Partsmart and M Doris Cluny were fined $100 each and set down for the remainder of the meeting because of gossiping on the backstretch during today’s running of the Lassie Stakes.”
Jordan Is Named At New Augusta

Doctor Says Jerry Won't Play—He Says He Will; Bob May Recover.
' Capt. Jerry Steiner and Bob Dietz, a basketball ‘combination that has scored 319 points in 15 games for Butler, have been confinec homes with flu and may morrow night's game State in the Fieldhouse. | Injuries and illness have come upon Coach Tony Hinkle this season in mass quantities. Steiner and Dietz are the sixth and seventh of nine returning lettermen become inactive. Gunn Is Back
Dr. George G. Davis, university physician, announced last night that Steiner would miss the Ohl game because of high fever. e little captain said he would play. Dietz, however, is given a chance to recover enough to play. He saw action in two consecutive and complete games over the past week-end. Byron Gunn, Centerville senior forward, out several weeks with an injured knee, has practiced extra long this week. He probably will return to the starting’ five now because of Steiner and Dietz’s illness. James Morris, trainer, has announced that Bill Hamilton, big junior center and guard from Louisville, will return to action for the last few games of the season. Hamilton was believed to have broken his left ankle last Sunday afternoon during practice. It has been revealed, however, that he suffered a severe sprain.
Two Veterans Left Hinkle was left with two experienced players yesterday as he drilled his squad on the fast break and free throws. Lyle Neat and Loren Joseph, the final twp lettermen, were grouped with] Harold Braden and Gunn, forwards, and James McCray, guard. ‘ The Bulldogs were given a light workout today as Hinkle pointed out Ohio State’s formations.

Five Tilts on College Card
By UNITED PRESS
Indiana college cagers engage in five battles tonight, two of them in the College Conference, with the Ball State-Franklin clash at the Grizzlie Gym headlining the parade. Other games are Hanover at Oakland City, Valparaiso at Western Michigan State, Southern Illinois State at Evansville, and Grand Rapids at Indiana Tech. In last night's contests, all of them affecting conference | standings, Wabash swamped Rose Poly, 50 to 28; St. Joseph’s romped to a 70 to 54 triumph over Central Normal, and Indiana State trimmed Manchester, 42 to 33. Indiana State's victory was its fifth in conference competition against a single loss, while the defeat sent the Spartans’ record to five triumphs and five losses in conference play. | The Sycamores trailed by five points at the half with Manchester on the long end of a 17 to 12 score, but the State five rallied in the closing minutes to pull out the win. Wabash held a 30 to 15 lead over Rose Poly at the intermission and rolled in easily with 13 players par-
paced the Cavemen’s offense with 9 points while Meurer scored 7 for Rose Poly.

Six city teams take to the hinterlands today in search of the everpursued Victory on Hardwood, one squad plays here and there are three games involving county teams. Though it’s a bad night for those who like to see their basketball without getting far from home, tomorrow night offers a far brighter
local outlook. Five city teams will perform tomorrow before their Indianapolis constituents as four hit the road. Holding six victories without defeat over Lebanon, Shortridge will go to the Tigers’ lair tonight in what promises to be the standout engagement of the evening for local athletes. If that game doesn’t take the spotlight, perhaps the Washington game at Greensburg will. The Continentals will be out to hang on to their third place in the South Central Conference.
Pirates in Cellar
The Greensburg Pirates, on the other hand, couldn’t be very much worse off. They're foundering in the loop cellar, as they say. The game up at Lebanon involves a bit of a jinx. Although the Tigers have shown up at the state tournament three times in the last seve eral years, they don’t seem to have been able to do much with the local Blue Devils. But this year they say Coach Paul (Butch) Neuman has one of the fastest teams out of the 10 he has superintended for the Boone County school. Some go so far as to say the jinx will be chased right out Lebanon's front door. The Tigers won their first six games and then ran somewhat aground. But now they're getting ‘back to early-season condition.
Big Five Here Tomorrow
Spicing tomorrow's menu will be home appearances by all the city’s top-notchers — Manual, Shortridge Tech, Washington and Broad Ripple. ‘Shortridge will try to turn back the Crawfordsvilles, having been put on the spot by them a year ago, 39 to 34. Marion's Giants, who boldy hold the fort in the North Central Conference, come to Tech as Washington engages tis second South Central Conference opponent, Shelbyville. : Tech’s chances were dimmed somewhat today when it was learned that Bob Jordan, who was held down .one of the starting guard positions in about half the games, pro bably will not be in the Big Green lineup. Bob is battling a case of flu and has been absent from practices all : this week. * : When ¢ Bob. Jordan firing is over in the Continental Gym, the crowd, will be privileged to sit down at a fellowship dinner sponsored by the Washington Student Association. The eating is scheduled to take place.in the school cafeteria. Manual’s game tomorrow night with Brownsburg rings down the curtain on the Redskins’ two-game home appearances. Manual’s “crack-er-box” won’t hold all the people who ‘like to see the game, as witness the Decatur Central-Manual game last week which had to be transferred to the Tech Goalery. Expected to start in both of Manual’s week-end engagements are Joe Nahmias and Robert Timmons, for-

Two Games on Card For Silent Hoosiers
Two games are listed on the Silent Hoosiers’ week-end basketball schedule. Tomorrow night they will play Carmel, Hamilton County champions, at Carmel and on Saturday will face Lawrence on School
for the Deaf floor.
boree. ; Forty-nine of the original tourney fleld was eliminated over a twoweek span and the event has three shows to go( tonight, Feb, 9 and 16. The survivors are plentiful in both classes—Open and Novice—and there will be no shortage of matches.
Both Classes Deliver
The Novice entry is double the Open field but is none the less productive of toe-to-toe entertainment. All boxers were to weigh in and report for physical examinations to=day between 2 and 5 o'clock at the Armory. Drawings for the night's matches will be made after 6 o'clock. ‘General admission tickets will go on sale at the Armory box office at 6 o'clock. Reserved seat tickets are on sale downtown at Haag's Claypool Hotel drugstore. The price is $1 reserved and 50 cents general admission. Both reserved and general admise sion pasteboards will be available at the Armory this evening. All bouts will be scheduled for three rounds, two minutes to the round. : : No Draw Verdicts
All bouts go to a decision of the referee and two judges. No draw verdicts are permitted under Golden Gloves rules, and this accounts for the furious punch throwing the full distance. : On the night of the finals—Feb, 18—prizes will be given to the eight champions in the Open Class, ‘the eight runnersup, the eight Novice champjons and the eight runnersup. The eight Open winners will form the Indianapolis team for a trip to Chicago to compete in the Tourna= ment of Champions at Chicago Stadium late this month. Teams will be.there from all over the Middle West, South and Southwest. A recheck of Times-Legion eligibles reveals 36 lads remaining in the Open class and 81 in the Novice. None of last year’s Open champions has been eliminated but two turned pro and one retired. Milton Bess, 1939 lightweight champ, did not enter this year’s
featherweight winner, and Eric Stone, 1939 heavyweéight leader, entered the professional game.
Favor Anderson
Anderson’s Eagles, winners of the Interstates district basketball tour ney, will compete in the state inde< pendent meet as one of the favorites to advance to the Interstates national finals at Butler Fieldhouse, Feb. 19 to 23. The state tourney opens at the Anderson College gym Feb. 10. It was announced at Spokane, Wash., yesterday that the Athletic Round Table of Spokane had qualifled a team for the national tourney.
