St. Louis speedsters finished on the short end of things at the thirteenth annual Silver Skates Ice Carnival at the Arena yesterday, when every major trophy was carried home by a group of tired, but happy, entrants from Clveland, Ohio. Darrell Albrecht led the Forest City contingent by annexing the men 'a Southwest Opn title; Don Nolan, also of Cleveland, was crowned champion of the Intermediate Boys' division, while Bob Carlin and Boo Syvertsen, two other Ohioans, finished in a tie for the Junior Boys' Round of U.

This year's entry list of 130 competitors, ranging from tiny 4-year-old Marie Laskowitz, who' raced in the novice division, to Eddy Stundl of Chicago, a former Olympic star, exceeded all previous records for the number of participants in the annual carnival. A goodly share of enthusiasm came from the crowd during the novice races for girls and boys.

Barbara French, a 13-year-old miss frim Glendale, breezed across the finish line ahead of a field of seventeen inexperienced skaters to win the Star-Times trophy. Medals were awarded to Mary Mohr and Jeanne Cannon, who finished second and third, respectively. Dean Brands won the final sprint for novice boys after the field of twenty-six had been divided into three heats. Jean Brands, Dean's twin sister and winner of last year's Star-Times novice trophy, showed a marked Improvement In her race by winning the women's Class 880-yard event. Besides capturing the meet's most coveted prize, Albrecht was the only skater to break a record.

The rangy Clevelander skimmed over the two-mile course in 6 mhiutes and 15.6 seconds to lower the previous low mark of 6:21.2, established by Marvin Swanson of Minneapolis and Alex Hurd of Ontario last year. Outstanding among the St. Louis skaters was Elsie Laskowitz. Having been out of competition for nearly two years.

Scarcely had he departed, however, when he received an offer from Promoter Kid Bandy for Matthews' services on a card here next Monday night and Wilsman accepted. Chicago, a major boxing center for many years, has dropped off the main line.

Barring the Joe Louis-Jimmy Braddock fight of last summer and prospects of having Jacobs stage the Louis-Schmeling heavyweight championship number in the Windy City next summer.

Operators of the winter book bonanza on the rich Santa Anita Handicap, received some good news last week. Rosemont, winner of the 1937 classic and heavily played by many bettors, was withdrawn from the race.

Thus, charging a loss to the players. Charley Burke, local commissioner, made Pompoon second choice to Seabis-cuit, the 4-1 favorite, when Rosemont was scratched. Followers of the Kentucky Derby were keenly disappointed last week when Col. E. R.

Bradley announced he would not have a candidate in this year's historical race at Louisville. The pupular turfman declared he did not have a 3-year-old in his stable worthy of carrying his silks in 1938. Cliff Abbo, placing judge at the Fairmount Park racing meets, writes friends in St. Louis. Telling them "to watch William Palmer in the Louisiana Derby at New Orleans next March." William Palmer won several races at the Collinsville, 111., course last fall.

Interesting Ice Carnival. The thirteenth annual St. Louis Silver Skates Carnival, held at the Arena yesterday, was a delightful attraction. A crowd of 12.296 packed the building. Officials in charge of this gala event are to be commended for the manner in which they promoted the affair.

This yearly ice production is responsible for the development of many skaters in the home neighborhood. Fritz Crisler, head football coach at Princeton, has been mentioned, along with others, as successor to Harry Kipke at Michigan. It is doubtful that Crisler will move from his New Jersey spot to Ann Arbor, however. Vice President job away from Jimmy McCarthy Mickey Cochrane is angling for feature matches on next Monday night's fistic card at Municipal Auditorium. Joey Parks, crack St.

Louis light-heavyweight, and Eric Seelig, Jewish-German, have been signed to trade blows in the final ten-rounder. Matthews was signed yesterday, while Stillman came to terms this morning.
