SAT that the deeds and accomplishments of great men never are appreciated until it's too late for the persons in question to receive personal satisfaction in the recognition doe. In sports, the same thing applies to a lesser extent, for it doesn't take as long to accord deserving and, in addition, athletic are clipped within short time.

Around Phoenix, the 1938 campaign is a thing of the past, but in New York at one fan still remembers the Fhoenix Ramblen girls team which played before the -biggest indoor' gathering of fans in history last fan in Manhattan's Madison Square Carden. Reaching our desk only day or so ago was a letter signed by John Paprun, an Eighth avenue resident in Gotham who should take our advice and come to Phoenix for the summer: "Last September IS I saw the Fhoenix Ramblen defeat the New York Roverettes in an 18- innlng Softball game here in Madison Square Garden. It was the first game I ever saw played by girls. The fame lasted two hours and 10 mta- sjtes and it was enough to nMtke si major leaguer say a matter of fact, that's jost what oar Roverettes dtL. White the Ramblen were avr gifts were simply wHteoV was the greatest exhibition of stamina that I have witnessed, and even at the end the Ramblen had enough left to give us a few Indian war whoops as defiant as their attitude toward fatigue.

"In beating the Roverettes, the Ramblen defeated one of the strongest teams here in the East And considering the fact the Ramblen had just lost out in a gruelling tournament in the semifinals in Chicago just a few days before makes it all the more remarkable. "I want to say right here that the Ramblen would make hash meat out of our men's team, the Erie Red Tops, fa the game which the Ramblen won, 2-0, in ths 18th, our speedball pitcher lost her speed completely in the 17th while Louise Miller was burning them in as fast as in the first inning. Ton should have seen and felt the tenseness as Louise took the mound in the 'last half of the 18th with a two-run lead. All the speeteton were pulling for her not to weaken, and, brother, I can-say she did not." Paprun adds a' note that "there are thousands of fans here In New York who feel the same as I do" and "who'll never forget that We pass the letter on to convince some of the skeptics of the value attached to sending teams east annually to "sell we also felt the girls might to know they're rated among the "tops" the big city. 4 FOR 1939 SOFTBALL, Incidentally, are progressing rapidly, Art Funk and Ben Spalding, proprietors of the local field of silk inform us.

In addition, we've heard rumors of 'tome "opposition" to Funk and Spalding, but no one has told us of any Definite to compete against the Phoenix Softball Park for Stocal patronage. 2 Efforts are being made by Funk and Spalding to book a play- off series here early in July between the Lettuce Kings and the Fohlars team of Cincinnati. The Kings, yon will recall, were edged rat of the Amateur Softball Association of America tournament In a 22-inning semifinal tussle last fall in Chicago, but then on the 5 way home stopped in St. Louis to win the American Softball ftetton championship in easy fashion. Fohlars went on to capture the Chicago title.

5 The play-off, therefore, would serve as a belated decision of the championship, with the winners of. the two major tourna- rtnents battling it out. In the meantime, plans for league play are being formed, with state winners in classes A and being awarded trips to the two fairs fall. The winning A club would go to the New York exhibition, Awhile the outfit would travel to San Francisco. The trips would be gthe sole awards, Funk end Spalding point out, in order not to create "amateur uproar" as happened last year when professionalism charges were bandied about with little concern.

In class A play. Punk and Spalding expect a trie of entries, including the Lettuce Kings and Tom's Tavern, with the third to be selected hi the near future. Rounding out the line-up probably 5 will be entries from Gtendale, Tempe and Mesa, which would give the league balance and attract interest in most of the valley rather than Fhoenix alone. Among the pitchers being and Spalding stress -rthey will be rewarded with jobs Joe Donchess from Los An- rgeles, already in town; Ab Grant, the hurler who pitched the 22-inning for Toronto last fall in the game which ousted the Kings from Sthe Chicago tourney; Robert (Lefty) Fowler, another coast flinger; Ortez and Coon Rosen, both widely known among local fans for ''the work in recent seasons; and Pete Johnson, Chicago ace who knocked the defending champions in the Windy City meet in the opening round. T.

is the Arizona high school pole vault record? Gibson of Tucson holds the class A high school pole vault record -mill feet, 1054 inches, set in 1938. The class mark was establisheed in 1930 by Martin of Flagstaff at 11 feet, three-fourths inch. Other prep vaulters have been reported exceeding the class A figure in dual and other meets, but their marks are not considered as the record is established only in the annual state 'track and field competition held on University of Arizona campus.

B. many triples did Ty Cobb make in 1911? How many home runs did Hank Greenberg bit 19S8 and what was his batting average? Cobb led the American League in triples in 1911 with 24. Green- delphia. Tunney York berg's 1938 batting average was .315.

He connected for 58 home runs, two shy of Babe Ruth's all- tune mark of 60. D. many times has the University of Southern California been defeated hi a Rose Bowl football game? The Trojans are yet to meet defeat in a Rose Bowl appearance F. is the oldest American race horse? Merrick, a gelding by Golden Garten, an English-born stallion, out of Bianca, was foaled in 1903 at the Rancho Del Pasco, Sacramento, Calif. He now is being kept near Lexington, and his 36 years are the equivalent of 144 years in a human being.

A.N—Which two players were the home-run bitten on the 19S5 Detroit team? Hank Greenberg hit 36 home runs and Charles Gehringer accounted for 19 during the 1935 season.

Promoter Mike Jacobs announced today that he is negotiating with Bennj Leonard, former lightweight champion, to open a fight club in New York designed to develop new talent in all divisions. Leonard would tour the country looking for new talent.

The fighters would be brought to New York, trained and conditioned in a school supervised by Leonard, and be of- Sisler's Son Gets Trial With Cards T. LOUIS, Feb. George Sisler's son, Dick, who batted 587 in prep school competition and .483 In municipal league play last year, signed -with the St. Louis Cardinals today. The 18-year-old youth who, like is at home on the pitcher's mound and at first base, will report to the Cardinals' training camp March 2.

His usual position, however, is third base, and he also plays the outfield. Branch Rickey, vice-president, who obtained young Sisler's signature, launched the elder Sisler on his spectacular career in 1916. Rickey then was manager of the St. Louis Browns. The youth, Rickey explained, will be given a tryout with the Cards, although technically he signed a contract with the Rochester, N.

club, the Redbirds' International League farm. Young Sisler will begin his professional baseball career only a few days after his father, one of the greatest hitters of all time, was elected to baseball's Hall of Fame. "My name won't do nun any good," commented the elder Sisler who, at 44, is still one of the busiest men in the game as the "Judge Landls" of semipro baseball and president of the National Softball Association. "He'll have to show what he's got himself." Sisler added, however, he thought the boy was "fortunate in signing with some one who really had his interest at heart." The latest Cardinal rookie six feet, two inches tall and weighing 195 pounds played with John Burroughs school here the last three years, and in St. Louis' municipal league the last two seasons.

He bats left-handed and throws right- handed. Since last fall he has been a freshman at Colgate where an older brother, George, is rated an outstanding college pitcher. Anita Race Attracts 13 OS ANGELES, Feb. XJ Specify, Heelfly and Ligaroti headed a field of 13 thoroughbreds named today to go postward in the $10.000 added San Carlos Handicap at Santa Anjta Park tomorrow, a mile and one-sixteenth event expected to develop a successor to ihe lop uit ailing Seabiscuit as top contender in the coming $100,000 Santa Anita Handicap. Kayak C.

S. Howard's Argentine horse, which was soundly beaten the same day this week that the Howard star, Seabiscuit, went lame, was named to start tomorrow. Others named for the race were Main Man, Whichcee, Don Mike, War Minstrel, Gosum, Unselfish, War Magic, Flying Lee, and Olimpo. Seablscnit's owner said today there was "nothing new" to report on the horse's injured ankle, and denied the stable planned to gallop the 'Biscuit tomorrow in what might be a final test on the prospects of putting him hack into tarining for the $100,000 race March 4. Track observers know Trainer Tom Smith as one who likes to work the 'Biscuit away from prying eyes, however, and would not be surprised if the horse was galloped tomorrow or Sunday.

The injured ankle was reported to be improving and not as sore as yesterday. Vino Puro, H. A. Luro's Argentine horse, won today's feature race, the $2,000 Westlake Handicap, nosing out Quick Devil, with Sweepalot third, in the mile and one-eighth event in time of 1:50 Time Alone, Mrs. Frank Car- reaud's three-year-old hope in the $50,000 Santa Anita Derby next week, ran well against aged horses but weakened in the stretch and finished fifth.

Vino Puro paid $7.40, $4.20 and Quick Devil $8.60 and $5.60, and Sweepalot $4.60. Woodman-Foutz Golf Team Wins Mrs. Thomas Woodman and Mrs. E. R.

Foutz teamed up to capture the Scotch foursome, special women's event over the Phoenix Country Club course yesterday. The pair posted an 88, which with their 12 handicap was good for a low-net score of 76. Mrs. H. D.

Ketcherside paired with Mrs. A. O. Winship to tie for runner-up honors with Mrs. E.

L. Luke and Mrs. R. D. Roper.

Card ing 86s, both teams were given seven handicaps for a low-: score of 79. HurlerSought To Bolster Browns CT. LOUIS, Feb. the St. Louis Browns "one more experienced American League pitcher" Don Barnes, president, stopped today far short of predicting a pennant-winner.

"We have hopes of landing another starting pitcher before the opening of the season," he said, "and if we get him we will do a 4ot better than we have in recent years." So far, Johnny Marenm, formerly of the Boston Red Sox, Is the only veteran addition to the pitching staff of 17 which will go to training camp at San Antonio March 1, the team's newly issued roster showed. In- fielden and outfielders will report March 6. The New York Yankees bolstered the Browns, in Barnes' opinion, in the trade that sent Catcher Joe Glenn and Outfielder Myril Hoag to St. Louis. Hoag is slated to play left field regularly and Glenn will battle Billy Sullivan for the first- string backstop berth.

With the three exceptions, the Browns are relying for improvement on recruits, most of whom have had tryouts with the team before. Outstanding among the new pitchers are Emil Bildilli, who won 18 and lost only four with Springfield of the Three-I League last season, and three San Antonio hurlers with fine records. They are Johnny Kramer, with 20 victories and 11 defeats last year; Harry Kimberlin, 1810, and Bill Trotter, 22-9. The combined Texas League record of the trio is 58 won, 30 lost. Barnes, discussing prospects at a fans' dinner, said the Browns were doing their utmost to build a winning team.

He pointed out the new owners had so completely changed the personnel in the last two years that only Harlond Clift, third baseman, and Outfielder Beau Bell remained from the old regulars. He disclosed the Browns had a home attendance of about 132,000 last year, the smallest of any of the 16 major league teams, but expressed the hope patronage would mount as the management continued its attempts to strengthen the team. In that connection, the club president asserted so long aa he was connected with the Browns no player of value to the team would be sold for cash. "I have repeatedly made the statement to other clubs In our league who had offered us large sums for some of our players, that Hershey Pro Paces Field By One Stroke xjEW ORLEANS, Feb. Out of a general assault on par, tall Henry G.

Picard, the smooth-stroker from Hershey, Pa, emerged today as leader after 3f holes of the $10,000 Crescent City Open golf tournament. Picard, after an opening, round par 72, stroked around the wind-swept City Park course in 69 blows on the ond day for a half-way total of 141 and a one-stroke lead. No less than 15 of the touring salaried players gave par a beating. But the feature bit of sharp- shooting came from the clubs of Harry Nettlebladt, a slim young pro from Framingham, who equaled the course record with a great 67. Nettlebladt put on a 35-32 exhibition, which added to a round 76, advanced him into a tie at 143 with Ralph Guldahl of Madison, N.

the National Open champion, for fourth place in tne halfway standings. Guldahl added a one-under-par 71 to his opening 72. Deadlocked for second plan were Jimmy Thomson, slugger from Shawnee on Delaware, and Chandler Harper of Portsmouth, Va. Thomsbsi reeled off today, four under par, while the youthful Harper had a 69. Their totals were 142.

Big Ed Dudley of Philadelphia, who took the first-round lead with a two-under-par 70, got away to a bad start today and never settled down. He finished with, a four-over-par 76 and dropped into a tie for llth position at 146 with. Johnny Revolta of Evanston, HC Zell Saton, a young professional from Oklahoma City, was even with the par card at 144 and alone in, sixth place. Bracketed in seventh place with Slammin' Sammy Sneai of White Sulphur Springs, with 145s were Lloyd Maa- grum of Los Angeles and W.
