THE HARTFORD DAILY COURAXT: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1930. 12C New Auburn Coach High Noon And Main McElwyn Go To Breed Farms Trotting Stallions Retired to Stud Former Returns to Walnut Hall Phil Collins, Ace Hurler Of Phils, Part Time Butcher Has Consuming; Ambition to Run Meat Market As Well As His Father Did Uefore Him Kid Brother Boasts of Phil's Mound Prowess vided for spectators, officials and representatives of the world press. Adequate dressing rooms, showers and lounges for the athletes, will be incorporated into the plans. The location for the swim stadium, which has been selected tentatively by the organizing committee, is directly in front of a grandstand near Olympic stadium. This grandstand is of concrete and steel construction and suitable dressing rooms, showers and lounges for athletes can be built in it.

Earth excavated from the stadium, can be utilized as a foundation for additional seats for spectators. The swim stadium will be suitably controlled. Numerous swimming pools are ready in the clubs, gymnasiums and schools for the training of the and his return there for stud duty means that the breeding policy of the Kentucky nursery will be continued along the same linesthat has materialized in commanding the best prices from the buying public. The fast and game colt, Main McElwyn, 2, 2.02 3-4, will not be raced in 1931, and his owner, C. B.

Shaffer, has decided that a year's rest at Coldstream Farm, near Lexington, will permit him to regain his strength, although about twenty mares will be booked to him next spring. An operation during mid-season practically ruined his campaign as a three-year-old during the past season, following a brilliant showing in 1929, in which he established a world's record for two-year-old colts. Had he been in first-class condition during the past well-informed horsemen felt confident that he could have given the season's champion, Hanover's Bertha, 3, 1.59 1-2, a serious battle in any of the major futurity events.

Woman Golfer Cheers Slim Links Enthusiasts Palm Beach, Fla, (AP.) A woman should not be discouraged because she is slim, says Bessie Fenn, woman gofr pro, and manager of the Palm Beach Golf Club. Miss Fenn says that the small, slight woman lias just as much chance to hang up a good score as her larger and more athletic sister. "It all depends upon the strength of thi wrLsts," the pro said. One of the few women golf professionals in the United States, Miss Fenn has played a good game of golf since she was seven years old. Her father was the late Arthur H.

Fenn, famous pro of earlier days. He won the Lennox cup in 1896 and received it from the hand of President McKinley. Sonnenberg's Conqueror To Clash With McCoy Boston, Dec. 13. (AP.)

Noon 2.02 3-4 has just been purchased by Walnut Hall Farm from O. C. Belt, Columbus, Ohio, and will be a welcome addition to the already brilliant stallion roster there. He is one of the most handsome trotting stallions that has appeared in recent and his campaigns over both mile and half-mile tracks have been exceptionally noteworthy.

High Noon was bred at Walnut Hall Neat Punting Was Factor In Carideo's Selection South Bend, (AP.) Frank Carideo, Notre Dame's All-America quarterback by practically unanimous choice, gave one of the greatest exhibitions of punting ever seen on midwest gridirons when the Ramblers ran over Northwestern 14-0 at Chicago. Carideo's punts three times rolled outside between the Northwestern one and ten 5rard line, nullifying the plunging of the big Purple backs. Approved Plans For Ken-' tucky Mart Might End Metropolis Sales Following the Old Glory sale in New York City, an agreement was entered into by the three leading Kentucky trotting horse nurseries, Walnut Hill. Calumet and Castleton, bv which their annual consignment of yearlings will be sold in Kentucky next fall, the sale to be conducted by the E. J.

Tranter at their new sales paddock near Lexington. Instead of showing the yearlings in front of a lead pony as has been the custom for many years at the Old Glory auction in New York City, the youngsters will be shown in hand, in the sales ring, in much the same manner that the thoroughbred auctions are conducted. This departure from a long-established custom may mean the end of the Old Glory sale in New York City, although no definite announcement has been made to that effect. However, it will save the large breeding farms the trouble and expense of transporting approximately 250 head of yearlings to New York each fall. At any rate the new sale arrangement will be conducted by the same management under whose auspices the Old Glory sale was held in New York, for thirty-seven consecutive years.

There has been no dissatisfaction expressed concerning the prices obtained in the New York market, as the Old Glory sale has been annually the outstanding trotting horse auction for many years, and substantial prices have been maintained in the New York market, when other sales have suffered a decided decrease, but the new arrangement has been formulated mainly to relieve breeders and consignors of added responsibility. Tallahassee Sets Mark In Outboard Racing If any one had predicted that an outboard motor would run continuously for 27 1-2 days, without stopping, without adjustments, replacements or repairs well, what would you have said? Yet that non-stop endurance record has been achieved by an Evin-rude motor. Lockwood and Elto motors are close behind. The records are the result of a $1500 nation-wide prize contest conducted by Outboard Motors Corporation to establish in a dramatic way the remarkability and dependability made possible by modern outboard engineering genius. The world's record Evinrude Fast-win was driven by O.

E. Ellison and L. K. Walker on Lake Bradford, Tallahassee, Florida, and to these drivers foes the $1500 cash prize offered by Outboard Motors Corporation of Milwaukee. This record, as well as all others, is verified by affidavit, signed in the presence of a notary public by the drivers, a committee of three prominent men who supervised the run.

and two referees who in turn supervised the supervising committee and the drivers. When Dale Jackson and Forrest O'Brien of St. Louis established their airplane record of 647 hours, outboard fans had no visions of exceeding that mark. But they kept put-putting. Day and night, week after week their motor operated.

As the contest progressed, the outboard record approached closer and closer to the airplane endurance mark until finally the Tallahassee boys demonstrated that an outboard mD-tor will run longer without stopping than has any airplane motor to date. Few experts, selecting the five best pitchers in the National League last season would omit the name of Phil Collin of the Phillies from the list. The best pitching percentage in the league last sea.son was 19 won and 7 lost, and the next best vas 20 won and 9 lost. Collins won 16 and lost 11 for a last place club. He started w.

as a winning pitcher, and through ail discouragements of a tough season and long streaks he kept right on on the right side of the ledger to the end. with a margin of live" games above the fifty-fifty mark. And Collins, a drafted player, was pitching his second big league season. He was sick during most, of the 1929 teason, and did but indifferent work until late in the season, and then he started in and won seven straight He showed the next year that this streak was not a flash in the pan- i Amlbttous Butcher. TULf.

hnvs have a consuming am bition to be a soldier or a big league bail player or a governor or an orator or a millionaire, but Collins, when he was a voung man, desired more than anvthing eke to run as rood a meat market as his father befdve him had run in their home city of Chicago. The senior Collins had brought up both of his sons in the butcher shop business, and after he died the boys decided to continue the market under the Collins name. Thev were proud of the name left by their lather as an honest and competent butcher and they often talked about how they wanted to keep the shop up to the high standard set by the founder. The younger Collins stuck pretty close to the shop, but Philip, the older who had made quite a name for himself in high school as a pitcher around Chicago. When he was 22 years old which Is 'to say in the spring of 1924 friends got him on the Rockford, 111., league team.

He won 17 and lost 4 that season and was signed by the Cubs and fanned out to Blooniington. He won 20 and lct 10 and was called in by the Cubs late in that season and pitched and won a 3-2 game from the Cardinals. Handicapped By Sore Arm. He was sold outright to Terre-Haute the next year and had a bad year He had a sore arm that gave him a lot of trouble. It was not until 1928 that his arm got allright again and then he was given a trial by New Orleans.

He took part in SI games thai season, winning 17 and slnS 14, and in compiling this record he lost some pretty tougn ana B8HeSwas drafted by the Phillies in the winter of 1929 and pitched that vear for that club, and, as stated above, was sick most of the season, and did little or nothing to show his worth until late in the summer. Collins had his tonsils removed at the close of the 1929 season and reported last spring in tip top shape. He has had no trouble with hi pitching arm since his Terre-Haute days and as he has a cool head and a brave heart and a most baffling 6crew ball. It is not hard to understand why he is so hard to hit when he takes his place on the pitching hill. Collins is not much of a talker out he is direct and straight out in statements and it is not at all hard to understand what he is talking about.

He is married and leads the life of a busy, hard working business man in the winter. "He have some funny arguments in the butcher shop back home, my kid brother and declared Collins. "I talk to the customers about him as a. boy who is running the market right up to the old man's high standard, and I am proud of him. He talks to 'em about me being a winning big league pitcher and all that stuff.

And the funny thing about it is most of 'em seem to think I have made a bigger success in life than the kid has. "Now I love baseball and I am proud and glad to be a big leaguer, but I guess I am different from most of the bovs about by ambitions. My brother and I grew up with the one main idea to carry on a butcher shop like the old man did and in the same neighborhood. We wanted to build up the business. And the kid has been on the job all the time while I have been away more than half of the time.

We may not ever build up any Swift or Armour butcher business, but you can bet we will cling to the old man's lines and build it up as big as we can. I put my savings from baseball right into the old meat market." Collins is a serious fellow and he has worked hard at everything he tackled ever since his school days. He is putting over the butcher business by hard work, and he has put over the baseball business by putting his whole mind and heart in his job all the time. He ought to pitch the Phillies out oi the cellar next season, Kerr "Most Valuable White Sox Infielder Johnny Kerr, just about the most capable infielder that the Chicago Sox had last season, led off with a base hit in 21 out of 40 games in a stretch in midseason. Johnny, by the way, was hitting high over 300 when he was the victim of a serious acci- dent on the field, one that came close i to ending his baseball days.

When i he finally returned to the game, his batting average shrunk to 289.
