4 THE -BOSTON GLOBE TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 192T 19 Chicago Plans to Double Capacity of Coliseum to Accommodate Hockey Fans ICE GAME GOING BIG OUT THERE Bruins Ready for St Pats at Arena Tonight NORWOOD TO HAVE ITS FIRST TITLE SWIM TOMORROW NIGHT CHILEAN SOCCER TEAMON TRIP Plans in the Making for S. Invasion MANtoMAN: Have you enough 1 1 By GEORGE M. COLLINS South America 1 very much in the public eye just at present. Soccer fans may have the pleasure of seeing one of the Latin republics, Chile, in action on the sport field. One of the champion soccer teams from Chile is at present playing in Havana, Cuba.

It is on the way to Europe for a series of games, but would not be averse to meeting the best soccer teams in this country, and if suitable arrangements can be made, it may come to the United States. Down South America way, soccer is a big game. There is an International series in which Peru. Uruguay, Chile, Argentine and Brazil take part, and if all teams are as good as the one which represents Uruguay, and there is good reason to believe they are, this Chilean team, should it come here, will prove itself a worth-while entertainer from a soccer point of view. The South Americans started play-in? soccer long after it was first played here, but they have made progress by leaps and bounds, and 'et play the game which ia, and has long been, associated with Scott's-h teams.

Perhaps the United Stat will be honored with a visit from the famous Glasgow Celtic team. The proposed tour of the Parkhead outfit has been stayed for the time being, owing to a little difference in finances, it is said. It that's all the Celts are worrying about, the fans will probably give them the difference just to bee them play here. Willie Malley, genial manager of the Celts, does not worry much about losing some of his stars if the Celtics decide to visit the United States. Hee one leader who surely builds from the ground up, and does not pay fabulous sums for players.

Willie takes them young, nurses them along, and when he needs a new player, produces another Quinn, McMenemy, McGroey, Connelly or McStey. Nothing would boost the soccer game here more than a visit from one of the partners of the old firm, Celts or Rangers. Ey JOHN J. HALLAHAN Chicago haq gone hockey road. So r.uch so that th Colueum.

Telia Morison and Tina Mori-son, sisters, of the Womens Swimming Association of Brookline, and Jane Waldheim of the Norwood Swimming Club. The 100-yard free style handicap swim and the 100-yard backstroke handicap swim should be interesting races, with strong lists of entries for both events. Mrs Cox, the champion, will be seen in action in the latter event. The 40-yard novice swim ought to bring out some close and thrilling battling between promising Wilbourn M. Cox.

director of swimming for the Norwood Civic Association, is in charge of the meet. Dr Harold G. Metters is chairman of the board of governors of the association. The pool, one of the finest in New England, was closed during the Winter months for five years, until Its opening last February, It is 60 feet long and 24 feet wide, assuring a six-foot lane for each swimmer. At the deepest end it is 9V2 feet, which is deeper than any other pool in New England, with the exception of the tank in Whit-lnsville.

It is planned to instal in the pool one of the 10-foot spring boards, built on Olympic specifications, so that contenders for the national championships will have an opportunity to practice for high-board competition. An indoor liigh-board title event, the first in New England, will be held in the pool early in April, following the installation of the new board.

Billy Burch, New York American star and a steady challenger for top ranking, has drawn up within a single point of the little Chicago wingman. Frank Frederickson, husky Detroit skater, now with Boston, has gathered 22 points, a brace more than Dick Irvin, Chicago captain. Reg Noble of the Montreal Maroons, leads the penalty list, with 94 minutes spent in the box, but George Boucher, Ottawa captain, is making a strong bid for the bad man's berth. Boucher is a lone minute shy of Nobles total.

Toronto comes to Boston fresh from victory over the Blackhawks, which law the St Pats at their best. They won, 6 to 1, and apparently are started on a winning btreak which may not fc stopped in Boston.

The Bruins cay be depended on to make the game lighly entertaining. Fruk Frederlckson, Bostons fair-haired boy these days, so far as -a-tonal League hockey is concerned, will ba matching his veteran skill and funning against Carson during most of the game. Frederickson is as fast the light Toronto center, and as clever a ttickhandler, so the game probably will hinge on the work of tnese opponents. The Brums will start Percy Galbraith.

Lenglen is baid by the Sketch to be preparing a surprise for the English lawn tennis world. Recalling Mile Lengkms disagreement with the officials of the Wimbledon tournament in 1926, the paper hints that Suzanne purposes to organize a series of professional matches here next Summer as a rival to the Wimbledon meet, with a view to drawing crowds away from the famous tennis series. Suzanne, the Sketch comments, would certainly regard this as sweet revenge for the insults, fancied or otherwise, she suffered from the Wimbledon officials. Feb 1 fA. The national three-cushion billiard championship tourney went into second-round matches today, with Gus Copulus of Detroit and Earl Lookabaugh, Chicago city title holder, matched in a remaining first-round contest.

Raimundo Campanionl, Cuban star, who was defeated yesterday by Allen Hall of St Louis, was matched with Art Thernblad of Chicago in todays rouid-robin event. Tiff Denton of Kansas City, defeated by Thurnblad in the first round, opposed Charles Me-Court of Cleveland, who lost his opener to Otto Reiselt of Philadelphia, present champion. The Ccpulus-Lookabaugh paring was third for the day, and the fourth matched Hall and Len Kenney of Chicago, wh owa sdefeated last night by Augie Kieckhefer of Chicago, former national tltleholder. SOCCER SNAPS Mickey Hamill's Belfast Club, the Celtics, appears to have the Irish League sewed up tight again, and Sir Michael seems to have helped the bhoys just a bit. Mickey will be happy if another championnshlp comes his way.

Costello, 'Foley and several other Boston Celtic players are skating regularly on Jamaica Pond. Manager OBrien says they are training for the coming soccer games. Bray Unknowns, another team in the Free State League, gave the league champions, Shamrock Rovers, exit papers in the cup beries, the champs being shut out, 30. Providence is going far in the cup competitions. If the Rhode Island papers are to be believed.

Dabbler Lyons took Young Ballcn-tynes place and gave a good display. Providence surely lias some nugnty nifty extras to rush into a gruelling game. Referees are getting to the stage where calling the true decision against the home team is out of the question, says a prominent soccer club owner. Wonder if borne referee called one against him? Johnny Jaap, that wee chap who plays outside right for Bethlehem, had the temerity to sock Carroll, the Phillies fullback, during the game at Tacony Field. Luther Lewis will not like that.

Those three Ballantyne boys, Johnny, Bobby and Willie, are rated with the best in the American League. The youngest member of the family played several games for Boston but was sent to Springfield, then to Providence. He is not a flashy player but always pays his way. Springfield soccer fans are not coming up very quickly with pledges for shares In the proposed new pro soccer team for that city. Theres a game where you have to play for all you are worth.

None of your huddle there. This remark was overheard at a week-end soccer game. The soccer players certainly earned their money Saturday and Sunday. Dashing through mud and water for 90 minutes calls for lots of stamina. New Bedford is the first team in the American League to go over the century mark In scoring goals.

Dave Pomfret w-ants Stevens back for the Cup games. The halfbacks are now scoring for the Whalers. Fans wonld think by reading some of the prpss reports of the Boston-New Bedford game that Bostons players play dirty soccer. Both teams were dirty, thats admitted, with all the mud there was on Battery Park. A good old-fashioned honest-to-good-ness shoulder charge is not against the rules.

Too many experts mistake such a charge for a shove. Watch the ankle tappers and the lads who use their hands to guide the ball Into the net! Toppan Boat Engine Co.

Phono Mystic 0068 PHILADELPHIA, Feb 1 A. John (Stuffy) Mclnnis, newly appointed manager of the Philadelphia Nationals, says he needs only a smart and active third baseman to lift the chronic second division Phillies out of the National League mire in 1927.

Give me a good man and watch our bmoke. is his prediction. Returning from the scene of his former triumphs as a member of the championship Philadelphia Athletics of more than a decade ago, Mclnnis already has bartered and bought hew strength for almost every department. The most notable acquisition is George Thompson, leading second base-man of the International League last season, who came to the Phils from Buffalo by way of the Giants in the Mile Suzanne Lenglen was the center of unpleasant incidents at the Wimbledon golden jubilee tennis tournament last June. She was severely censured for her failure to set foot on the courts when Queen Mary of England was waiting to see her play.

Explaining her point of view latsr, she said that at first she was willing to play in her doubles match on that day, but after being scolded for not appearing for a singles match, of which she knew nothing, she was too excited and upset to "lay at all. A few, days later she definitely withdrew from the Wimbledon 'singles championship on the plea of sickness. She had held the championship six times. By Ripley BELIEVE IT OR NOT (Rear. U.

Krnttille Team Coming Here Unable to receive permission from t-a faculty to make another trip to the United States, the McGill University hockey team, through Coach Frank hfcaughneosy, has sent word that it will be tinabie to play the University Club here this season. The Arena manager is negotiating with Montreal, and Toronto teams for games here with the Unlversitv Club.

The Kentville, Wildcats will be brought here to face George Owens ack team. These Wildcats are all rage in Maritime Provincial hockey mcleg. and are representative cham-t-onahip players. Recently they took measure of the Abegweits of Char-bketown, I. 4 to 1.

Plana to have the University Club the Toronto Varsity graduates htr in the season are under way. These are the two outstanding ema-teams of the United States and tanada, and a game or a series of fames would go a long way toward termining the international amateur championship.

How is it that Boston again got a home draw against Fore River? asks Shipbuilder. Thats the luck of the draw. There are no In the bag methods about National Cup draws.

Having attended many 6f the cup committee sessions at which the draws were made, the writer does not hesitate to say Boston was the first team out, and that naturally gives them the choice of ground. Goal judges are goirj to come back, and perhaps the neutral linesmen will go and club linesmen come into favor again. PREDIGTSGHANGE IN BASKET-BALL RULES Fonl-Shooting Slows Game, Amiott Believes 26 home runs to his credit last season, is down for regular guard duty at the middle station. Mclnnis will play first base when portside (lingers are in the box for the opposition, he says. At other times Attreau from Norfolk in the Virginia League, will get the call.

Helnie Sand will be back at shortstop, with Kriberg or the much-sought newcomer on third. General utility work will fall to Russ Wrightetone, a holdover, and possibly Joe Buskey, a recruit from Cumberland, Md. Mclnnis lias a quartet of slugging veterans in the outfield, with Cy Williams In right, Fred Leach In center and Johnny Mokan and, A1 Nixon alternating in left, Denny Sothern, who joined the club late last season, displayed enough prowess with his war clubs to warrant retention this year. The Phils have three backstops. Tbe veteran, Jimmy Wilson, will bear the brunt of the catching burden with the aid of Clarence Jonnard, a holdover, and Harry ODonnell, up from the International League.

The pitching staff has been strengthened by the addition of Alex Ferguson, one-timo hurler for the Boston Red Sox and Washington Senators in the American League, and Jack Scott, secured from the Giants. Hal Carlson, right-hand ace, again leads the staff, which includes Ulrich, Willoughby, Decatur, Dean and Baecht, all righthanders. Two southpaws, Mitchell, a veteran, and Herb Pruett, brought hack to the majors from the Pacific Coast League, wull be among the pitchers who leave Feb 27 for the Spring training camp at Bradenton, Fla. HORNSBY DEAL WILL STAND, SAY GIANTS NEW YORK, Feb 1 (A. The statement of Pres Sam Breadon in St Louis that the deal which brought Rogers Hornsby, ex-Cardinal manager, to the New York Giants in trade for Frenkie Frisch and Jimmy Ring, might be called off was scoffed at today by Secretary Jim Tierney of the Giants.

Breadon said yesterday that ownership of 1167 shares of stock in the Cardinals and his own refusal to buy the stock at the price Hornsby has set, might force cancellation of the deal. The stock matter does not change Hornsbys status as a ball player, Tierney said. He is still the property of the Giants. If he should be unable to sell his St Louis stock, that would be our problem. We would have to find ways and means to sell the stock for him.

The worst that could happen would be that Hornsby would be unable to I day with the Giants. The deal never, could be called off. All the details of I his transfer have been carried out in a legal manner. Secretary Tierney said he had received a letter from Hornsby, the former Cardinal second baseman, stating that the stock matter would be adjusted. swimminTmeet AT SOMERVILLE Twenty-eight of the best Somerville swimmers participated in the first indoor meet for men and women members and patrons of the Somerville Y.

early and radical change in the rules governing basket ball is predicted by Clarence N. Amiott, coach of the National Interscholastic basket-ball championship team in Fitchburg. Coach Amiott says the fans are crying about the slowness of the yame, and feel that something should be done to eliminate an over-abundance of foul shooting which tends to slow up th egames. Not only does Coach Amiott prophesy a change, hut he goes eo far as to tell what the change will probably be, and how it will benefit the game. Under the proposed change, a player who is fouled is given the ball where the foul is committed.

The opposing team must be at least 15 feet from him when he gets rid of the ball, and he has the option of shooting for the basket tf he near enough, or passing to a teammate who is in a better position to cage a shot.
