1 2 0 000 0 0 in AFTER WHOLE HOG SITUATION INDIAN CAPTIVE WELDON HART. THE CLEVELAND Indians Hemsley, whom for lo, these many moons. their catching problems, which seasons. The Austinite most interested in the news that Cleveland had traded Billy Sullivan, Roy Hughes and Eddie Cole to the Browns for Hemsley undoubtedly was Heinie Helf, the strapping blond ex-Maroon who is desirous himself of doing a bit of Indian catching. damaged Helf's cracking Acquisition of Hensley, probably the ularity.

Cleveland Frankie lineup Pytlak, with who any regal a highly respectable .315 batting average last season, is still around to perform whatever catching chores Hemsley overlooks. Still, the departure of Sullivan leaves the catching staff a threeman affair, with Hemsley, Pytlak and Helf listed, if the club carries three catchers Henry necessarily will be the third, Helf batted .274 for the Milwaukee Brewers in 85 games last year and maintained a much higher figure the route. It was once reported that Bullet finally have captured Rollie they have looked with longing They believe Hemsley will solve have vexed them several Bob Feller liked to pitch to tall catchers, and that the Indians were grooming Helf as his battery mate. Both Pytlak and Hemsley are rathsmall. Helf is six-one and weighs 200.

He spending the offseason shuffling soda-pop cases for Ed Knebel. One wonders whether the Cleveland moguls made a wise trade when they gave three for one to get Hemsley. Rollicking Rollie is a catcher of great ability, but he is to observe his own training rules--which frequently do not coincide with those of the management. Every club with which he has been connected finally gave up on him. He respected and feared Hornsby, but even under Rogers, Brother Hemsley, it is said, was no boy scout.

The Cleveland pitchers and catchers are to report at New Orleans Feb. 27, the rest of the squad a week later. The Indians will play the Giants here April 4. Bonus Awaits Pro Tennis Champion THERE is every reason (or lieve that Ellsworth Vines ing when they bat the white next Tuesday night. When the tall American wound up their '37 tennis tour smiled wisely behind their false It should not be startling if two the world's greatest tenniseers played on even terms over the season, but the coincidence provoked veiled (and unveiled) accusations of a "fix." To hush such prattle, Vines and Perry took steps.

First they utilized a rather simple rule of mathematics--that odd numbers are not evenly divisible by two and booked 75 matches instead of 74. Already one inducement for victory was before them, although it was not of their making. That was the probability that Don Budge would eventually turn pro, perhaps in '39: the certainty that Budge could not play both Vines and Perry, and the obvious deduction winner on this year's transcontinental, trek, similar would and be perhaps richer venture in '39. Then Perry and Vines clinched at least three reasons) to beand Fred Perry will be tryball for Gregory gym customers and the colorful Englishman with 37 victories each, people beards. matters by another mathematicaland financial calculation.

According to Al Ennis, their advance man, Elly and Freddie agreed to set aside five per cent of their share of every gate on the long tour. When they close, the pot should total several thousand dollars. And it all will go to the one who wins a majority of the matches. Vines and Perry, supported by Berkeley Bell and Walter Senior, should get a nice turnout here. The admission prices may frighten some citizens in the region of the pocketbook, but they will be interested to know that these prices are just half what they would have been if U.

T. officials hadn't talked them down. The charges: adults, U. T. blanket tax holders, and high school students, 50 cents.

Fayetteville Thermometers All Busted the subscribers would like to know today is, what WHAT happened to the Longhorns at Fayetteville? This is one time that I am in perfect sympathy with the subscribers. I would like to know, too. The Razorbacks were expected to win. and all that, but the bloke balmy enough to have predicted Friday that they would win by the outrageous score of 74-38 would have been hustled off to the nearest padded cell. But he probably wouldn't have been admitted, as I understand the nearest padded cell is being reserved for Coach Jack Gray.

I did not dream it possible that any team could set up a new Southwest conference scoring record against the current Longhorns. Those 74 points wiped out of the record book Arkansas' own high total of 71 against Baylor in 1929. It is really not difficult to guess what happened, although hard to believe that it happened so drastically, Arkansas if you teams get the always distinction.t. ing teams. They play "fire de- partment" basketball.

Some Porker grabs the ball and clang-clang! here goes the whole bunch charging down the floor like fire-horses to a three blaze, They shoot and follow up, shoot and follow up, shoot and shoot and shoot. When they're "off," they don't make points, but "when they're "on," they make figures faster than an arithmetic teacher with a pencil in each hand. Friday night the Razorbacks must have been hotter than a bowl of chili in a Turkish bath. I will risk the prediction that they do not come within 20 points of their Friday score Saturday night. The Longhorns must be tremendously discouraged after taking two one-point lickings in a row, then a 36-point one.

Well. anyway, they broke that one-point jinx! U.S. And Britain Are Alone In Opposing Tokio Olympics NEW YORK, Feb. stay out of the 1940 Olympics out of China seems to be ters, current indications are the United States and the Battle lines already have been drawn up for some brisk skirmishes here with Jeremiah T. Mahoney, former president of the Amateur Athletic union, heading the opposition and his rival in such matters, Avery Brundage, favoring participation.

In Europe the British Amateur Athletic association Friday launched a boycott move when its general committee unanimously adopted a resolution against participation in the Tokio games if they are held. At the same time the British Empire Games federation, meeting at Sydney, Australia, went on record as opposing participation in Olympic games to be held in any country at war, An Associated Press survey indicated, however, that few European nations are likely to follow Britain's lead. Norway expects some difficulty raising funds for the journey to Tokio if the hostilities in China continue. A few others, notably Finland and Denmark, are undecided, pending results of the international Olympic committee meeting at Cairo March 10. The survey also revealed that Italy, France, Austria and Yugoslavia definitely have decided to send teams to Japan.

Germany is awaiting the outcome of the nazi games at Nuremburg, Sept. 4, to see how its athletes perform.

Writing the February issue of the department's Monthly Bulletin, Tucker said, in part: "All persons who had expressed specific complaints concerning the game, fish and oyster commission were invited to appear before the investigators and a general invitation was issued for any and all persons who cared to give the committee any information, to appear. The committee has not yet made a report. It is ou ropinion that except for a few admitted minor errors in administration, the committee was not given any information that would be either beneficial to the committee or to aany considerable benefit to the game, fish and oyster commission in improving its work.

Down at Houston, Southern Methodist, defending champions and a rising threat to Arkansas supremacy by virtue of recent fine play, had its hands full with a Rice institute team that finally came 'to life and beat Texas earlier in the week. The Texas Christian string of conference defeats was expected to be prolonged to 19 consecutive they meet Texas at College Station. The Aggies gave mighty Baylor its only licking in an overtime game Wednesday night. Arkansas made it seven straight victories and held the only unblemished record in the league Friday night after they had disposed of a befuddled Longhorn quintet, 74-38. Arknsas' total of 74 set a new conference mark for a single cage team's scoring.

The previous mark had been 71, chalked up by Arkansas, too, in 1919 in a game against Baylor. The game record had been 105 as against 110 Friday night.

Ninety dogs, survivors of an original field of 3.093 and each champion of its breed, came down to the final test in the Westminster Kennel show Madison Square garden Saturday at, with a representative of the terrier group favored to be crowned "best in show."

Halle's snow-white wire-hair from Chappaqua, N. or another of the group in the finish will not be decided until two hours before the grand finale.

Ten wire-hairs have carried off the honor and Percy Roberts never has had the unbeaten Flornell in better condition since she arrived in this country a few weeks before the 1937 Westminster. The Airedales have a strong contender, however, in Shelterock Modest Smasher from Sheldon M. Stewart's kennels of Montclair, N. J.

all due respect to Glenn Cuzningham and the 4:15.2 performance in his latest mile triumph, full credit for the classiest effort in the revival the Seventh Regiment games went Saturday to Jim Herbert. The dusky New York university sophomore not only ran a picked field into the boards Friday night for his sixth straight win of the season, in the "American Legion 600" but he had to overcome the weakening effect of a back operation only 24 earlier, to sprint the distance 1:14.3 flat 10- lap track. Still wearing a bandage, Herbert wasn't even pressed as he broke the tape, with Chuck Beetham, exOhio Stater, second: Fordham's highly-regarded Wes Wallace, third; Manhattan's Borck fourth and Delmer of North Texas Browne Teachers fifth. However, there was more than enough of the spotlight left over for Cunningham's 30-yard margin of victory, and the "old reliable" Joe McCluskey, who spotted his rivals up to a full lap the plodded to victory in the two-mile. Cunningham was handicapped by a heavy cold, but his archrival, Archie San Romani, sidelined by a spike wound, "Perpetual Motion" Glenn coasted in.

He wound up going away, far in front of North Texas' Blaine Rideout. McCluskey's time of 9:15.4 was classy considering the running conditions. PRO CONNECTIONS TO BE AIRED IN INQUIRY COLUMBUS. Ohio. Feb.

Ohio State university director and chairman of the committee. sent questionnaires to above 600 athletic one departments seeking information which to negotiate an agreement with major and minor leagues on the so-called college baseball player problem. Most of the questionnaire was devoted to financial aspects of the college sport but it concluded by asking each institution whether any of its coaches had a working arrangement with professional clubs, signed college players to professional contracts and received compensation. The colleges were queried also on whether "organized baseball operated adversely" to their own diamond sport programs. WHAT ABOUT SCOREKEEPER? GUNNISON, bedraggled Feb.
