McQuinn of Browns Back in Action

SAN ANTONIO, Tex., April 3 (U. P.)—A team of St. Louis Browns managed by Trainer Doc Bauman defeated another squad of Brownies under Assistant Trainer John Handley, | 5-4, with Pitchers Johnny Whitehead and Bill Trotter going the full route. Whitehead was the winner. First Baseman George McQuinn returned to the game after a week’s treatment of sciatic nerve trouble.

same make last year, Riganti,, who has participated twice in

|the five-century, hopes to cop

a share of the gold with his new mount. Popular demand and backing! is sending the colorful Argentine here,

purchased by a commission composed of South American sportsmen. The car already has been shipped to Buenos Aires from Italy.

‘First Here in 1923 A handsome Latin driver, Riganti

{made his first appearance here 17

years ago in royal company as. the youngest | member of the famous five-car Bugatti team headed by Prince de Cystria, who finished ninth in 1923. | Also on the team were Pierre de Viscaya, Count L. Zoborowski and Martin de Alsagg. wealthy Argentine sportsman who is [still active along the night club circuit in New York. Riganti developed motor trouble in the first 47 miles that year. The popular South American returned to the Hoosier oval in 1933 when Juan Gaudino brought him up to drive his Golden Seal Special, which Gaudino had - entered: and driven 71 laps the previous year. Riganti finished the 500 miles, but had to be satisfied with 14th place out of the money. ; The idea to send this popular driver to Indianapolis was originat-

gentine sportsmen early in February and some 50,000 lire were immed'jiately raised to send a down payment to the Maserati factory in Italy, and delivery was assured in late. March. entire amount of 200,003 lire has 'been contributed for the purchase of the new racing machine.

Snowberger On Track

Riganti, and his relief driver, Osvaldo Barmiggiani, will leave on their 5000-mile journey to Indianapolis as soon as the car arrives from Italy and. it is expected that Martin de Alsaga will head a large orvoup of Argentinians to Indianapolis to cheer their native son to victory. . ” Russell Snowberger of Detroit started things humming at the track yesterday by working out in his rebuilt one-seater. He turned about 40 laps, and was clocked at 115 miles an hour on one lap. He estimated he hit a speed of 152 on the straightaway. His 19th Year of Racing

Snowberger’s car, a four-cylinder front drive model, has been equipped with a new 260-cubic inch motor since last year’s race. Detroit's “racing blacksmith” qualified at better than 124 miles an hour last year, and he thinks his speed buggy this year is two or three miles an hour faster. This is Snowberger’s 19th year of automobile racing! He showed up at the Speedway first in 1927 as a relief driver for Leon Duray. Since then he has finis ed in eighth place in three races ii in fifth place in two.

Jennie Ineffective on Mound

As Pachyderms

Wait Opener

| By J. E. O'BRIEN Power's Pachyderms, the biggest four-lady baseball team on earth,

|| were to hold another lintrasquad workout today in preparation for the

double-header Saturday which will open their week stand at the

Coliseum.

George Power, who manages these elephant pastimers, ordered the

extra work yesterday after Jennie,

knocked all over the Fair Grounds practice field. Power doesn’t intend for Jennie to suffer the same humiliation before crowds at the Greater Olympia Circus. Maybe Jennie, however, wasn't altogether to blame. Roxy a headstrong hurler whose specialty is a slow teaser, was given the starting assignment. But when Mr. Power, who also umpires, called two straight balls, Roxy put up an awful squawk that could be heard by the backyard fans across the Monon tracks. It sounded like Diz Dean talking salary.

Roxy Is Benched

Mr. Power won't endure a hothead so he ordered Roxy to the sidelines where she resumed her search for wild onions. Jennie was called from the bullpen although she hadn't even had one warmup pitch. A guy like Bob Feller would have found that a tough spot. But Jennie shuffled out to the mound, took Sister Lena's sign frem behind the plate and uncorked one of her speedballs. ' Julia, the batswoman, sent the ball spinning down the foul line, but it was outside by inches and so ruled by Mr. Power. Evidently Lena was worried for she walked halfway to the pitcher’s box for a conference and probably instructed her battery mate as follows in elept lantese: “What do you think this_is, kid, the East India League? You re worse than a Keep ‘em around her toenails.”

Lena | Gets Disgusted-

Failing to| heed the instructions, Jennie offered Julia another high one. Lena (was so disgusted she pulled a Lombardi and didn't even fry to catch the ball. It plopped smack into her mask, which looked like a section of the wire netting surrounding | the hockey. rink: Julia rubped some dirt on her trunk, pulled down her cap that would cover half the Perry Stadium infield and Jook a stance deep in the batter's box The next pitch had all of Jennie’s five tons behind it. But Julia, who probably leads the country in runs trunked in, smacked it through shortstop [and went lumbering around the bases. The play at home was closed, but Julia executed a neat any slide and was safe. Lena, who| is Jennie’s mama but doesn’t like to admit it on the field, stalked away in disgust, and practice was over. Mr. Power let the elephants go back to their pastime of clearing the infield of dandelions. can’t be too hard on four girls’ who have been working together for 30 years. Lena and .Jennie, in fact, have teamed for at least 50 years. Baseball was their main sport until they went on a European tour in the 20s. Then Mr. Power had to teach them cricket, but they picked that up in a hurry, too, and Jennie got 50 she could bowl them in as well as any Londoner. After 13 years of cricket the elephants returned to this country and had to take up baseball again. You have Mr. Power's word for it, though, that his four diamond dollies knew what it was all about after one practice.

It'll Be a Shame to Break Up Rizzuto-Priddy, One of the Hottest Double-Play Duos Going

Times Special "NEW YORK, April 3. — This will be the last year in the minors

for Phil Rizzuto of Brooklyn and Gerald Priddy of Los Angeles. They form the double ‘play combination for the Kansas City Blues in the American Association. They belong to—you guessed it!—the Yankees. “It’s going to be a crime to break up that combination,” Ed Barrow, president of the Yankees, told us the other day. “But it's one of those things we’ll just have to do.” Rizzuto, 21 and Priddy, 20, form one of the best double play combinations in baseball, minors or majors. Rizzuto is the shortstop, Priddy the second baseman. They are the talk of baseball. They started out as a team two years ago in Norfolk and led the league in double plays. They did the same thing with Kansas City last year. They work together like two trained acrobats. They do everything on a split-second basis. They have speed, agility, anticipation. That's why Barrow does not view with pleasure the almost certain necessiby of separating them. They make such a slick team, side by side, that it seems brutal to think of splitting them up. But old man Landis is raising so much heck about the alleged iniquities of the farm system, Barrow is not disposed to prolong the kids’ minor league activities. The way matters stand now the Yankees aren’t going to be able to make room for both boys. How could Priddy, good as he is, ever hope to get Joe Gordon off second base, for example? Rizzuto, it would seem, has a better chance to make the team, because Frank Crosetti, the shortstop, is getting along. One of these days he will have to be replaced. So the outlook is that Rizzuto will wind up with the Yankees

and Priddy will be sold to some|

other major league club. 7 This will come close to

Fine Reported on Ex-Lions Chief

DETROIT, April 3 (U. P.)— The Detroit News said today that George A. (Dick) Richards, former owner of the Detroit Lions professional football team, had been fined $5300 for “playertampering” before he sold the club to Fred Mandel Jr. of Chicago. The News said Richards had to pay the fine before the league would ratify the sale, which occurred Jan. 16, and was approved Jan. 29. Of the total, $5000 was for allegedly paying $100: to Clyde Turner, former center of the Hardin-Simmons University team, to state on the professional football questionnaire that he was not interested in pro ball, the newspaper said, adding that Rich=ards also paid a large dental bill for Turner. The remaining amount was a fine paid to the Cleveland Rams “as damages for alleged player-tampering.”

The Yankees have more overseers in St. Petersburg than any other aggregation, which is another reason why they dominate the dia~ mond world. Joe McCarthy brings down the scouts, Paul Kritchell, Gene McCann and Johnny Nee, in addition to the coaches, Art Fletcher and John Schulte. New men get the most attention, naturally, but McCarthy is everlastingly shouting to some lieus tenant to “tell that young Russo to quit throwing and that Sundra to quit shagging flies. I don’t want them worn out before the season starts.” Clubs lug scouts to camps to make sure new hands do as they did while attracting sufficient attention to be purchased or recalled and to help them improve. Perhaps the young pitcher isn’t taking the same stride. Maybe the young hitter has developed something faintly resembling a hitch. in his swing. Seasoned performers frequently are straightened out by a suggestion.

a juvenile notion they must be teamed up to play good: baseball. They want to come to the big leagues together. That's all they talk about. Naturally they'd rather come to the Yankees that any other club. But apparently that’s out. After this season the greatest double play combination the minors ever saw seems definitely fated to be broken up. Bill Myers says he never saw two better infielders in his life. Bill could be slightly prejudiced. He manages Kansas City . . . “No, I'm not prejudiced. The kids can do everything around the bag and they can do it faster and with more sureness than any other pair I ever looked at.” We wanted to know what they had that made them stand out above the crowd, what particular quality, gift or touch. “The way they get rid of the ball. It’s bang bang on every play. They no sooner get their hands on the ball than, flash! they get rid of it. They have that split second quickness that is so vital in making double plays, especially the double plays that can go either way.” Both the Giants and the Brooklyns passed up. Rizzuto.

the minors. Recently Priddy [got married. “I know how much you like that wop,” the lady told boy friend, “but if it’s all right you I'd just as soon he didn’t c me along on our honeymoon.” Rizzuto is a little squirt, 152 pounds, 5 feet 6. Two years ago in a Norfolk game an opposition player gave him the works at second base. Priddy rushed over. “When you rough Rizzuto,” screamed Priddy, “you are roughing me and I won't stand for it.” . The opposition player answered hotly: “Well consider yourself roughed.” This wasn’t a smart thing to say. Priddy cranked up his Sunday punch and knocked the fellow stiff, Rizzuto’s eyes popped. ‘It was the first fight he had ever seen on a ball field. He patted Priddy admiringly on the shoulders. “Boy, I'll bet. you can whip Joe Louis,” he

‘|said. And meant it.

They're great kids, friends and ball players and as Barrow says it’s a shame they have to be split up. They are such friends and they get such a kick out of playing side by side they wouldn't mind spending still another year in the minors if they could be together. But Barrow realizes this would create unfavorable comment and while he could in perfect baseball legality keep the players down there another term he isn't. He is resolved that they must come up and he is resigned to the fact that the Yankees wouldn't be able to use both of them. :

Champ Rice Will Rest

Times Special NOTRE: DAME, Ind. | April 3.— Greg Rice, former Notre Dame track captain, named the outstand-

|ing athlete of the indoor track season by the Metropolitan Track Writers Association, will take a well-deserved rest for an indefinite period. Greg's rest will consist of jogging from three to five miles every day

The crowning achievement of Rice’: indoor campaign was his victory of last. Sunday over Taisto Maki of Finland and Don Lash of the Indiana State Police, in world record time of 13 minutes 52.3 seconds for three miles. Rice cracked his own world indoor mark of 13:55.9 which he set earlier in the year. He also covered two miles in 8:56.2, as compared with Lash's former world indoor record of 8:58. The following other meet records were set by Rice: Boston K. of C., 9:01.7 for two miles; Chicago Relays, 9:00.3 for two miles, and: Indiana A. A. U,, indoor 4:16.3 for one mile and 1:56.7 for 880 yards on Notre Dame's clay track. Only 24 years old, Rice apparently has four or five peak years ahead of him. Track experts, amazed at his tremendous finishing sprint which has enabled him to cover the last quarter of each of his races in abcut 60 seconds flat, believe he will become even stronger dur-

ing the outdoor season, and will im-

prove over his present sensational marks in the next three or four seasons. The little 5-foot 44-inch Montana boy, who secretly prefers the mile to the two and three mile races, hasn't let running interfere with his eventual career as a 'certified public accountant. He missed only a day and a half from his job

in three months of winter racing,

and he flew back from New York after Sunday’s meet so he could be at his desk at 9 o'clock Monday morning.
