Jim Crowley Returns Home for 'Swell Time9; Visits With Friends and Mother Do You Remember? LOS ANGELES U.R) Tod Sloan, known to thousands of racing fans as the ereatest lockev of all time, is dead.

He lost his last race in a struggle against death in a local hospital yesterday. Death resulted from cirrhosis of the liver. Sloan died "broke," his financial position in direct contrast to that of three decades ago when he quit the track with nearly $1,000,000. Only the benefieience of Mrs. Jack Cudahy, member of the Chicago packing family, kept him from dying in a pauper's ward.

Born In Indiana He was born in Kokomo, In 1874 as James Fordham Sloan. His father was a barber. Sloan gave up barbering at an early age because he was too short to reach to the customer's beard and hair. He began haunting racing stables around his home town and when he was 16 he rode his first race. He created a sensation at the old Southside track in Chicago in 1888 when he showed fans the "monkey ride." Perched high on the horse's neck Instead of riding erect he showed how he could coax greater speed from his mount.

His style of riding became universal. Collects $14,000 His richest victory, perhaps, was scored astride Ballyhoo Bey in the 1894 futurity. Rival Jockeys decided to "pocket" him in the race. Sloan drove through an opening and home to victory, collecting $14,000. He went to England in 1897 and for a time enjoyed tremendous popularity.

Prince Edward of Wales, the late King Edward VII, selected him as his first jockey and Sloan delivered triumphs in 45 out of 98 races. Wined and dined, the 97-pound jockey spent with a lavish hand far more than the salary he earned. Press and public later turned against him as a "foreigner" and eventually he was refused a license. He went to France where he scored numerous vic tories at Longchamps before he was barred because of charges trnt horses were stimulated. Returns to America his With his star on the decline, he re turned to America and retired in 1901.

Ill luck haunted him, however. and within a year he had lost the bulk If not all of his fortune. His marriage to Julia Sanderson, actress, lasted only a year, ending with his wife obtaining a divorce on charges of misconduct. He married Elizabeth Saxon Malone, also en actress, in 1920 but that union likewise ended in divorce in 1926 after a daughter was born. For a time he was attached to th? Agua Caliente track.

In later years he was practically without funds, living at the home of Mrs. Cudahy, who long befriended him. Arrangements for the funeral were to be completed today by Mrs. Cudahy and Sloan's second wife. 0SHK0SH TITLE SQUAD PREPARES FOR PACKERS OSHKOSH, Wis.

If there was any doubt about sub-par golf being needed to win Pasadena open championship the brilliant vet eran, MacDonald Smith, has dispelled it. Smith hewed to a straight line from tee to pin yesterday in bringing in a sparkling 67, the best score of the first day's qualifying round. Only half the top-heavy field of 200 played but the Carnoustie Scot's performance set up a mental hazard for the other half today.

Two strokes behind Smith and two strokes under par was Paul Runyan of White Plains, N. who found necessary two fine recoveries to get up near the crest. Even at the eigh teenth hole, with a two-foot putt for a 68, Runyan skipped over the cup. Craig Wood, defending champion who established the tournament record of 278 for 72 holes last year, found the lightning fast municipal course not exactly to his liking. He was one over par in 72, just one stroke behind Oliver Sleppy of Long Beach and Pete Lamb of San Bernardino, who tied for third place.

Other virtually certain qualifiers include Al Espinosa, Akron; Eddie Loos, Chicago; Ben Coltrin, San Francisco, who had 73's; Archie Hambrick, Zanesville, Ohio; Johnny Revolta, Milwaukee, and Lieut. Bar ney Schrlever of San Antonio, with 74's and Mortie Dutra, Detroit, 76, RICE NAMES COLLIER'S ALL-AMERICAN ELEVEN NEW YORK U.R The 1933 all-Amerlcan football team selected by Grantland Rice and announced today by Collier's magazine follows: Ends Skladany, Pittsburgh, and Larson, Minnesota.

This was especially so as far as the first team was concerned. As in other years, these selections are based on the opinions of coach, es, officials, managers and sport writers representing each of the ten cities in the National football league. Three Chicago Bears On the first team, there are three Chicago Bears; two gddders apiece from Boston, New York and Portsmouth while Brooklyn end Green Bay each have one nomination. The Chicago Cards and Philadelphia break into the second team selections, leaving only Pittsburgh and Cincinnati without lepresentation on either squacl. The 1933 postgraduate season was the most successful on in history and it was terminated with the sensational championship playoff game in which the Chicago Bears triumphed over the New York Giants, 23 to 21.

This free scoring contest was right, fully termed by an 'army of football writers as the greatest gridiron ex. hibttion of the year; colleges included. Hewitt Was Outstanding Bill Hewitt, Chicago was a unanimous choice for an end tlon. One has to go Infc superlatives to describe his play this fall.

The East squad will meet the alumni five at eight o'clock, following a preliminary battle between the East fecond team and another alumni group. All former players of East are eligible to compete but must report before 6:30 at the school. Max Murphy, who will captain the graduates, has lined up some good squads to send into action. Harold Ysebaert, forward on last year's team, Don Mikol, also a crack front court man, Ro Heitzke, center, George Snell, Dick Evans, LeRoy Poner, Tilkens, Arnold Roeser, Lloyd Daman, Emmet Klaus, Kemnitz and several other former stars will be among those present.

Officials were mollified on the receipt of a telegram from Oconomowoc. It read as follows: "Wisconsin Skating association will be given every consideration for all officials.

Assure you that I will cooperate to the limit. Arrange meeting with Oconomowoc officials for Saturday, Dec. 30, for solution. Frank Kalteux."

Jack Sharkey was third with 10 votes, and Babe Ruth fourth with nine. Wes Ferrell, Cleveland Indlaas pitcher, was given six votes, and Max Schmeling, four. Single votes went to Kaye Don for hi? showing against Oar Wood, to Pepper Martin, "Hunk" Anderson's failure to score a single point in a home game," and to Gene Sarr.zen. One editor who selected the Davis cup team claimed it was the greatest disappointment "because it was the least expected. Notre Dame's poor season, while causing much controversial comment, was more or less expected from the start." Explaining his vote for the Notre Dame collapse, one California sports editor wrote: "Notre Dame was named because of more widespread attention from a greater number of fans, although within the limits of its own following, the tennis team's slump was a gigantic disappointment." BY ARTHUR W.

BYSTROM The man who doubled football receipts at Fordham university and will be one of the principal speakers next week at a meeting of 300 of the na tion's leading football coaches, stopped to shake hands with a bell-boy at the Hotel Northiand. "Hello, Joe," he said, "how's the family? I'll drop in to say hello to them tomorrow." Jimmy Crowley, who wrote football history at East high, Notre Dame, Michigan State and is now showing smug Manhattan what a "small-town boy" can do in a big city as a successful coach of Fordham's Rams, came home for the Christmas holidays yesterday and in his own words "had a heluva of a lot of fun" the first day. Meets Many Friends Everyone knew Crowley as he wandered about town yesterday, grinning, joking, renewing old acquaintances. They stopped him on the street, in the barber shop, the hotel lobby to shake hands and ask how he had been. He talked to everyone, boys he had played with at East high, a tailor who loves football and gets into fights, a little newsboy who hadn't been born when he ran wild for East high and wasn't more than a few years old when he continued to run at Notre Dame.

You couldn't get Jim to be very serious about anything. He was home for a vacation and having a "swell time." Time to think about next year's football team later. The 1933 season had been good, with only two defeats in a tough schedule, what next year had to offer remains to be seen, That Fordham is ambitious Is seen in its schedule a schedule that calls for games with some of the best elevens in the country on successive Satur days. Here's the way they will come to Manhattan next year to meet Jimmy's team: U. of West Virginia, Southern Methodist TJ, University of Tennessee, St.

Mary's of California, Purdue and New York TJ. Before those teams arc met at home Fordham meets West Minister and travels to Boston college for its only game away from home. The schedule is tentative, however, Jim pointed out, and there may be a few changes. It will be the first time in Fordham history that Purdue faces the Rams. Quiet and Efficient "What will you have to send up against those teams?" someone asked.

"Six regulars, the water-boy ano; plenty of 'Hail-Mary Jim replied, grinning. "We lose 15 of 23 letter-men from this year's squad. But, il won't be so bad, we've got some big boys coming up." Asked about the appointment of Elmer Layden as Notre Dame's coach Crowley expressed the belief that he will prove to be an excellent director of Irish football.

At one time "Gene" had a big house all his own, carriages and fine horses. Those were the days when he smoked the most expensive cigars, was familiar with the choicest wines, and always appeared in immaculate, if somewhat old-fashioned c'othes, including a bell-top high hat and a snuff colored coat. He never lost his love for dress, and even when in dire poverty, managed to appear at the Savoy bar in his beloved snuff -colored coat, a red carnation stabbed jaunt Uy in the lapel. THREE years ago the doctors told Corri, who in his late sixties could still skip around a boxing ring with speed and grace, that he must not enter a ring again.
