THE BIG PARADE of tournament golf in the New York district wilt get away to a spectacular start when the Season is opened by the annual $5000 Goodall round robin at the Fresh Meadow Country Club in Flushing. This ‘much was assured with the announcement by Elmer Ward, the man who conceived this unique tournament two years ago, that May 16, 17, 18 and 19 had been allotted for this event. : ‘With the quality of play in this year’s Goodall tournament likely to set an even higher standard than in the two
former years of its existence, the metropolitan golf season is certain to start in a manner befitting the long list of other high class tournaments fo follow. : The Goodall selection committee, consisting of golf experts and writers, which annually chooses the top 15 professionals for this event, has not made known any of its choices-as yet, feeling: it the part of : isdn to await the end of the winter and early spring events in the uth It is the policy of the committee to issue invitations to the 15 hational leaders and to choose the contestants this early might result in overlooking some players who may burn up the Soishemn courses within the next few- weeks. :
Each Golfer Plays 126 Holes.
HOWEVER, it is a good guess that the two who won the 1938 and 1939 Goodall tournaments, Sammy Snead and Light Horse Harry Cooper, respectively, will be among those who tee off at Fresh Meadow on May 16. As usual, each man will play an 18-hole match against each of the other 14 contestants, with first prize going to the one who finishes with the highest net total of holés won. The program of seven 18-hole threesomes makes the total to be played by each man 126 holes. . . . Every match must be played out to the end, which means that even though it is a match play competition there is no chance to ease up at any time,
= = td
EACH ROUND consists of five threesomes, with each man in a threesome playing against each of the other two. . . . That means playing against two men at once, which gives you an idea of the strain. . . Imagine hooking up in matches with Jimmy Demaret and Craig Wood, for example, in the morning, and then having to go out and. tackle Sammy Snead and Byron Nelson in the afternoon. That is what each of the Goodall players is up against daily -except on opening day, when there is only one round, in the afternoon,

Burwell to Be Active: Leader
BILL BURWELL, the old Indianapolis mound_ace who, as coach and acting manager, piloted the Louisville Colonels to the 1939 American Association playoff championship and to the Little World Seriés
title, has been installed as manager
in fact of the Colonels for 1940,
‘according t Tommy Fitzgerald of the Louisville Courier-Journal who
is at the clu
’s training camp in Florida.
Fitzgerald says definite announcement of this decision was made by Owen J. Bush, president of the Colonels, on his arrival at camp, . « « In elevating Burwell from coach to manager, Bush said that he would. serve only in an advisory managerial capacity and that Bill
would be the active leader. Burwell was a star hurler for the Indians in 1923, 24 and ’26.

Joe Williams or
SARASOTA, Fla., March 14
—Probably no manager in the big leagues
speaks witn a more ‘authoritative voice on the makeup of his ball club than square-jawed Joseph Edward Cronin of the Boston Red Sox.
If he wants a player and that he vetoes a player the supported by the club’ executives. Two examples: Outfielder Dominic DiMaggio and Infielder Harold
Reese. Cronin wants DiMaggio and!
player is available he gets him: if
veto stands no matter how highly the player is s. scouting system and its several front office
Some months later baseball was mystified by the announcement that
got him; he didn’t want Reese and | the Red Sox had let the player go
Reese is elsewhere specifically in| the sweaty. habiliments of the Brooklyn Dodgers. It seems to be pretty well authenticated “that the Red Sox shelled out $75,000 for DiMaggio and -8 young pitcher. who was left be-
hind with the San Francisco club.
for further development, . The Red Sox scout on the Coast saw DiMaggio, a smallish, bespectacled edition of the original Joe and didn’t like him. “Maybe he'd be worth $15,000 as a gamble,” the scout reported. Previously the Yankee scouts, three different ones, had turned thumbs down on DiMaggio. Cronin saw DiMaggio in several games on the -Coasi after the regular season was over, decided he liked him ‘and requested that he be purchased. Thus, in effect; he was saying the Red Sox scout didn't know what he was talking about. And the price was considerable in excess of the $15,000 the scout suggested as a fair estimate of the young man’s worth. : Now take the case of Reese. The Red Sox had him and sold him to Brooklyn. To get him the Red Sox bought a whole ball club, or at least they engineered the purchase of the club, namely Louisville. That's the only way anybody could get Reese.
to Brooklyn for dough and players. The players weren’t very much and the dough wasn’t important—not to| the Red Sox which are owned by Tom Yawkey, one of the wealthiest young men in the East. What was wrong? Late last season we were told by a responsible party that Cronin had dictated the sale of Reese in a pique. According to our gossiper, Eddie Collins, the general manager, had suggested that Reese be brought in immediately and tried out at short. To this suggestion Cronin supposedly snapped “What's wrong with me? Can't I play shortstop any more?” Besides being manager, Cronin, as you know, is the shortstop. We learn now this story was utterly fictitious. Collins made ‘no such . suggestion and naturally Cronin made no such- rejoinder. What happened was this: Reese came south with the Louisvike club to train last spring. Cronin went over to see him in an adjacent Florida hamlet. The kid looked ‘terrible. It developed later he had the flu. Anyway, Cronin said he wouldn't do and advised his disposal. These two instances graphically

Cliff Is Facing a Heavy Job
Cliff Brosey, Notre Dame shot putter, will have some grueling work to do Saturday when he engages such stars as Archie’ Harris of Indiana University and George Paskvan of Wisconsin University at the Butler Relays. But judging from his performance at the Central Collegigte Conference meet last week, he'll be quite ready. He won the event in that meet, beating such tossers as Bazyk of Pitt and Dillon of Drake.
352 Men Entered in Relays
TWENTY-SIX SCHOOLS, 10 in the university division and the re= mainder in the college class, will vie for honors in Butler University’s multi-colored eighth annual Indoor Relay show Saturday afternoon and night. ; Ohio State and Ball State’s late entries were received yesterday by Director Ray Sears. Meanwhile, Dr. Henry M. Gelston, former faculty chairman of the athletic committee, has been named honorary referee. The honor - was bestowed upon Dr. Gelston for his many years of service to the athletic department and his interest in athletics. Also, Sears has announced the relay

OHIO STATE, which recently finished sixth in the Big Ten meet has entered a 15-man team. Ball State has entered two entrants, James Phend in the 60-yard dash and Dick Staley in the shot put.” Wisconsin, which previously had entered but one man, Ed Smith in the hurdles, has increased its team to eight members. Coach T. E. Jones will bring a two-mile relay team, William Williams in the pole vault, and George Paskvan, who captured second place in the Big Ten shot put last Saturday.
Total numbers of competing athletes will be 352, just 30 short of last year’s number. ‘' Twentyeight schools took part last year. Smith of Wisconsin will be the only defending champion returning this year. Last year he won the 60-yard high hurdles, equaling the world’s mark three times in one afternoon. He, also, won the outstanding sportmanship trophy. Ohio State’s team will be composed .of Andy . Boswell, Lester Eisenhart, Xenneth Hodson, Robert Holdren, Andy Jones, Gene Kiracofe, Mike Linta, Al Ligingston, Robert Newbold, George Simmons, Don Smith, Jack Spellicy, Ronald Stimmel, Jack Sulzman, and Paul Taylor. # an 2 >
THE BUCKEYES’ ENTRY toughens the field for Michigan “University to defend its six-year hold on the team championship. Butler, the host school, will have keen competition in defense of its college team championship.

Cleveland Wins
To Take Ov er 2d Place
Look Out, You Stars Of Lowly Syracuse
All our hockey Capitals
need now for the Western Division championship ‘and a in the International-| |
place . American's Series A playoff is a victory this evening over
|the Syracuse Stars, whom they are
taking on ate 8:30 at the 38th St. ice house.
That's how much the complex sit
uation was cleared last night by
frosty frolicking in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Specifically, Cleveland overturned the ‘host Hornets, 3-1, while Hershey bested Philadelphia's Ramblers by. the same score. The Baron victory left Pittsburgh still with a 55-point total, five to the
.|rear of the Caps and with three
games to’ play. Hershey's triumph pushed the Bars into a tie with the Smoky City six, and the B’ars also have three yet to decide. Barren Victory. for Barons Cleveland's win was a hollow one
as far as first-place hopes go. The
best the Barons can do is tie the Capitals, assuming the latter can't win either of its remaining games. What . makes the’ situation more encouraging from the Indianapolis angle is the fact that Hershey and Pittsburgh still must play two games with each other: And should the
-{B’ars show their superiority in this
pair, they still have a skate and stick date with: our Caps Sunday night at the Coliseum. So, all in all, Manager . Herbie Lewis and his ice lads have plenty of reason to smile. If they smack down the Stars tonight,” theyll have a perfect right to carry one another around on their shoulders and maybe even rip the fish netting from the two goals. Or is that just a Hoosier basketball custom?
Reds Sit and Wait
These recent hockey happenings have. re-emphasized the approaching playoffs. - Way down East the Rhode Island Reds of Providence already have the eastern championship in the bag and are marking time, so as to speak, for the western clubs to finish their neighborhood arguments. It appears now that our Capitals (still assuming they win one more) will open against Providence next Tuesday night at the Rhode Island rink. There’ll be another game there Thursday before the two clubs move in here the following Sunday for the third game of the best-three-of-five series. Should it be necessary to play any more ' games, another would be played ‘here Tuesday, March 26, with the series returning to Providence for the fifth game on March 28 5 ;
The winner of this series would meet the ultimate victor of the two series between the second and third place clubs far the Int-am championship, some fat checks and a large trophy.

2 : By UNITED PRESS Any. cote. between: two teams remaining in the “sweet sixteen”
of Indiana’s high school basketball tournament .is bound to be tough, but for the two roughest: semi-finals in the state nominate those at Vincennes. "and Muncie, the latter series the one from which most of Hoosierdom expects the eventual state titleholder to emerge. The early season’ favorites participate in both series, Washington
in the southern battle, and ‘New Castle, Kokomo’ and: ‘Ft. Wayne South at Muncie. ) Ft. Wayne South faces the easiest path, duplicating its route through the section and the regional. It plays Garrett, a team often underrated, in the first afternoon game,
{while the two North Central clubs
tangle with each other in the second matinee clash. Riding for Fall? : South’s boys, according to even some Ft. Wayne sports writers, are riding for a fall. They're cocky throughout, and beat Portland .in the regional by only eight points. A few commentators say that had Portland been hitting their shots, the Archers would have lost. Kokomo won the only game hetween the Kats and New Castle this season and that' by .a score of 42 to 26. However, Kokomo was at full strength, while New Castle was riddled with injuries. Since that scrap the Trojans have picked up speed and since the sectionals started the impetus has reached that of:a tornado. Whoever wins ' the game— and despite the powerful Kokomo offensive and great height, it leoks like New Castle—is. bound to. be tired for the evening mess, another break for the first game victor. Ft. Wayne- South met Kokomo during the season and won, 30 to 23, on the Archers’ floor, but Kokomo was minus Carl Campbell,
" |lanky member of the: star-studded
Kats lineup. South beat Muncie Burris by 13 points to break the Owls’ winning streak early in the season. New Castle Heat Burris: by 28 points, 59 to 31, in the Muncie regional finals. And Burris was supposedly as tough then as when it faced South: Garrett doesn’t rate very high in the . pre-tourney picture and 'probably will crop out in the afterndon.
»|But any choice of one of the other
three is as good as another. The Washington Hatchets, favoredd since mid-season as the South’s “white. hope,” look strongest in the Vincennes series.
Mitchell Favored
Washington takes off = against Bloomington in the second game on the Alices’ court. Season records overwhelmingly favor the Hatchets, having conquered the Panthers by a score of 36 to 29 on the Washington floor in the last game of the season. In addition Washington has had by far the roughest: tourney path and has managed to come through creditably. Bloomington's major tourney victories have been over Martinsville, admittedly a tough opponent and one that fell before the Hatchets by only two’ points in an overtime, and Terre Haute Garfield, a team that went far in the Wabash Valley tour-
spotty. Likewise Bloomington failed to show impressively during the season. In. the first afternoon game Mitchell’s rollicking Bluejackets play the “unknown” Lynnville five. the quintet with the best defensive mark of any of the “sweet sixteen.” Mitchell is bound to be favored, if for no other reason than that it contrived to come through its own sectional and the Bedford regional, two series nearly as tough as any. Most of the south's dopesters
