MONDAY, MAY 1, 1939 THE WINNIPEG TRIBUNE IS Local Team Cains Volley Ball Championship THE SPORTLIGHT By GRANTLAND RICE NEW YORK, May 1. The GlanU can rise or fall on their infield this year, the way Bill Terry look at It. BUI likes hi pitching staff, even If Carl Hubhell can't make much of a contribution to its effectlvenss this year. He is well fixed In the outfield and back of the plate. But if the Giants are going to win and he thinks they are Zeke Bonura, Burgess Whitehead, Bill Jurges and George Myatt will have to stand up.

If one of them falters If the Infield crashes the rest of the team will be caught in the falling debris. So far, the outlook Is hopeful although I can't agree with BUI that the Giants will grab the flag. Bonura, waived out of the American League, already has learned a lot about first base play from Terry and seems to be Improving all the time. Whitehead has made an amazing comeback after a year on the shelf. Jurges Is one of the ranking shortstops of the league.

Myatt, young, fast and a good fielder, doesn't seem to have any power at the plate. But, on the defensive side, he looks all right. A Giant fan, looking at this infield the other day, said, "it wlU do. It's about as good as there is around now and better than most. But I wish I could see the infield composed of Bill Terry, Frank Frisch, Travis Jackson and Freddy Lindstrom playing at Its peak again.

I think that was the best infield the Giants ever had and they've had some good ones." I'd give him a rating of .500 on that observation. The Giants have had some good infields including the first one that John McGraw developed and that won a couple of pennants for him: McCann, Gilbert, Da hi en and Devlin I don't think the Terry Frlsch Jack Jon Lindstrom combination was the best. I'll go back a couple of years before that for the one I liked the best: George Kelly, Frisch, Dave Bancroft and Heinie Groh. They had it both ways on offense and defense. So, of course, did Terry, Frisch, Jackson and Lindstrom.

But I don't think the balance was as finely struck. Kelly, now a coach with the Reds, incidentally, was a better first baseman than most people now recall. Frisch was one of the best second basemen the game ever has known. Among the modern shortstops, I'd put Bancroft right up there next to Hans Wagner, the all time best And Groh was steadier than Lindstrom and had a better spirit. A Wider Argument i The discussion went on from there to the best infield that ever was put together.

It was a long argument and nobody proved anything, which was the way it was bound to be always will be, because each generation of fans has its favorite and can't see how it possibly could have missed being the best. There were several generations represented in the bunch that was arguing and the argument covered a long range. Out of it camp these selections: Fred Tenney, Bobby Lowe. Herman Long and Jimmy Collins of Boston In the nineties. Frank Chance, Johnny Evert.

Joe Tinker and Harry Steinfeldt ol the Cubs of 1906 7 8. Stuffy Mclnnis, Eddie Collins, Jack Barry and Frank Baker of the Athletics, who first hit the jackpot in 190. My vote went for the Tenney Lowe Long Collins array, although, on sheer power especially considering that they were slugging away at the so called dead ball I don't know of any Infield that could top Mclnnis and Collins and Barry and BaJier. There was a youthful and somewhat dissenting voice raised against that last opinion. "No?" the voice said.

"How about Gehrig, Gordon, Crosetti and Rolfe? Gehrig may be fading now, but I'm talking about last season. Lively ball or not, they lug a lot of power up to the plate, and, as they were rolling late last season, I'd match them against any ol those old timers you fellows can dig up." One Was Settled I never saw but one of those arguments settled. That was settled to the satisfaction of at least one man and the consternation of another. Some years ago, a group, which included Fred CJark and Ring Lardner, was debating whether Clark or Jimmy McAleer had been the best left fielder of the era in which both had played. Clark, through sheer modesty, kept quiet, and so, through his characteristic reticence, did Ring.

Finally, Clark turned to Ring and asked: "Well, Ring, what do you think? Who was the best or "Jimmy Sheckard," Ring said and walked away, leaving Clark stunned.

Hurst Is Acclaimed As Best Amateur Fighter MONTREAL, May 1 Around these parts it is the general belief amp" amateur fight followers that the rid and certainly Canada holds few better men pound for pound than youthful Harry Hurst when it comes to filling a foe's whiskers full of fist. Just on the verge of his 21st birthday, the dark hairej Hurst is the most talked of boxer in this city today and as newly crowned king of the Dominion's amateur lightweight class has had a hatful of offers to turn to the monied game. Hurst, who fights in Toronto tonight in a ring tourney pitting a Canadian team against boxers from the United States, won the lightweight title here last Friday night by knocking out Harvey Dubs of Windsor, In the second round of a three round bout.

English soccer teams go Into the final round of matches next week with promotion and relegation problems on the point of settlemnt. Championships have been decided in the league's four divisions, but Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United are waging a bitter struggle for the right to join Blackburn Rovers In advancing to the senior league. Leicester City, already doomed to demotion from the First Division, will be iccomparUed by Birmingham unless Chelsea is defeated by an overwhelming score in its final game of the campaign.

In the Second Division Tranmere Rovers are booked for minor company with Notts Forest and Norwich City battling to avoid relegation. Everton, league champion, blanked Aston Villa, 3 0, in Saturday's play while Blackburn Rovers completed their Second Division schedule a week ago to clinch first place with 55 points. Newport County and Barnsley are champions ot the Third Division's Southern and Northern circuits, respectively. Birmingham made grand effort Saturday to get ahead of Chelsea and trounced Leeds United, 4 0, scoring two goals in each half. Chelsea's ability to gain a point through a 1 1 draw at Preston may save the Pensioners.

The Sheffield clubs outdistanced their rivals In the intermediate league by turning in splendid victories. Coventry's chances were destroyed when Sheffield United won, 3 0. and Tottenham fell out of the running, taking a 1 0 beat ing from the Wednesday. Sheffield United now Is in tnird place with 52 points, one behind its rival townsmen, but has the advantage of a game in hand. Luton Town's promotion aspirations were dashed by a 2 0 loss at Newcastle.

At the other end of the table, Notts Forest came through with a 2 1 verdict against Plymouth Argyle to extend Its point total to 31. Norwich City, with 30 points and a game in hand, lost, 4 2, at West Bromwlch. One of the day's biggest surprises saw Newport County defeated, 2 0, by the low placed Clapton Orient squad. the 132 pound Hurst Is the best drawing card among the amateur crop hereabouts. He gives the fans action and his Sunday punch is something they clamor for.

He reached the final aga'nst Dubs by putting away defending champion Frankie Williams of Regina in 1:59 of the third round. Hurst, who represented Canada at the last British Empire Games In Australia, would like ,0 fight for the Dominion at the Olympic Games next year but it Is possible by that time he may have turned professional. So far the offers haven't been to his liking. "Of course, I'd like to go to the Olympics," Hurst said. "But if 1 could get a good professional offer think I'd take It.

I'd like to get fighting across in th9 States for that's the only place where a fellow can make real money." Hurst has been fighting for the KIT Amateur Soccer XI Demoted GLASGOW, May 1. After a two year absence, spoils of the nine month Scottish Football league schedule cup and ieague trophies rest in Glasgow, which claims one of the most colorful clubs in major toccer today. Glasgow Rangers hoisted the league championship flag for the 24th time and Clyde, also from Glasgow, Helded Its first cup win ning aggregation in the club's long history. The drawn out season ended Saturday, climaxing a 38 game campaign that produced great battles and pre game upsets galore. Clubs placed near the bottom of the league provided the sting that held Interest until the final day.

Final compilation shows Queen's Park, only amateur club in big time Scottish football, and Ralthl8w7(1 Kovers, up from the second division just, one yehr, will play In the minor league next year. Cowdenbeath and Alloa will take their places. Alloa nosed out East Fife on a goal average basis. Both clubs finished with 48 point. Prominent in Rangers success was Alex Venters, veteran of he club.

The Edinburgh club boasted a better goal average. Cowdenbeath was runaway leader of the Second division, posting a final count of 60 points.

Rsith Rovers had things their own way last year but couldn't keep up to the brand of soccer, played in, the major circuit. Aberdeen's success at Pittodrie Park was somewhat of a shock to critics who installed Rangers pre game favorites. Smith scored in the opening half and Armstrong made it 2 0. Placed just outside the relegation zone, with still a chance of being demoted, St. Mlrren tackled the powerful Celtic eleven and came out on top by a 2 1 score.

Playing at home, the overcame a first half goal by Divers when McLintock and Knox scored. Another hard fought battle was played at Coatbridge where Albion defeated Raith Rovers, 2 1. Burke toured both Albion goals in the firsl half and Haywood scored for Ralth. Decisive victories were posled at Shawfield Park and Hamilton.

Hurst, who will reach voting age May 26, did not fight In the Dominion championships last year al Winnipeg when Williams won the crown. At the time of the bouts he was recovering from an attack of pneumonia, brought on, he 1 thought, by the Canadian climate after his spell In Australia.
