Needless to say, everybody in and out of the Pacific Coast's Who's Who will be there to see the running of the Asua Caliente Handicap, successor to By HENRY RICHARDS Staff' Correspondent of The Stanad Union FORT LATJTERDALE, March 20. That double-header innovation of Uncle Robbies turned out to be a perfectly swell idea. The Robins won only one decision, and had to travel twelve innings to get that, but the results of the experiment are likely to reach further and be of greater im-" portance than the won and lost accounting.

For the twin bill, particularly the Yannlgan half of It, tumed attention upon two who heretofore have been pretty much in the background and might under no other circumstances have received an opportunity to display their wares. The preliminary encounter gave Ray Phelps, the right iiander from Jack- li sonville. a DttdVinz chance he the equally bizarre Coffroth Handicap. Agua Caliente's optimistic press-agent estimates that the first running of the Handicap, will be worth $140,000, and that horses will go to the post. This, no doubt, is a trifle i exaggerated.

The purse should be less than that, but still over the hundred-grand mark, and topping all pthers. I don't know about the twenty starters, either Some of the nags entered may not last until Sunday.

Not only did he shut out the Brownie second stringers without a hit for three Innings, but the stuff he pat oh display created the Impression that he could have handled a stronger batting array with the same effectiveness. He busted his fast ball through with tremendous speed, curved them over the cor- 1 nera when occasion demanded and even went so far as to throw up an occasional change of pace.

Art Shires faced more difficulties today, in spite of the fad that he acepted the terms of a contract offered by Charles Comiskey, owner of the Chicago White Sox. After received a tele gram of acceptance from, the belligerent first baseman who has been a holdout, the Box chief wired back that the acceptance of the contract was a secondary matter. "What I want to know," Comiskey wired him, "is who accused you of wrong while participating in the fightlrig ring, who suspended you, and who produced the evidence that caused your reinstatement? Do not report to San Antonio until you have answered the foregoing questions to me.

"If reinstated 'in baseball, vou must follow baseball as a serious propositoh'. As you must know, your actions in the past have been humiliating to your companions and we cannot countenance any recurrence of such actions," The White Sox offices here said the contract Shires accepted was the original one offered him, which called for a $7,000 salary.

Encouraged ty the return of the sun to tills city, John McGraw is pushing.hls Giants at a furious pace, that they may be ready for the White Sox when the series with the American leaguers Is resumed. McGraw will tell you, as any any other major league manager will, that he doesn't particularly care aoouc tne results oi spring exhibition games. Which is the bunk. McGraw doesn't like to be.

on the short end of any game, which may be one reason why Mac has brought home the Giants In the first division 25 times in 27 years at the helm. Tt PENNANT DDE The Giants were last in 1916 and fifth in 1926. Otherwise they have been there, or thereabouts, when they start counting from the top downward every October. If McGraw fails to get the Polo Grounders under the wire first this fall, it will' be sixth successive season that he has failed. And not since he has bad the club has Mac gone a half dozen seasons without a flag.

His longest previous stretch was from 1905 to 1910. The Giants have engaged the Sox five times, have won only one game. The first four games gave the Giants on'y a tie, a tie which came about when the Sox overcame a five-run lead. Bitter as thece heating have been for Mac to take, the manner in which they were adroin'stered has been even more humilintin. The Giants gave a perfect imitation of the Cubs against the As last fall in those tilts.

BETTER PITCHING McGraw expects to have better success now that he has the pitching staff lined up. Benton, late In reporting, Is ready to take his turn, and Scott, Pruet Genewich are off the casualty list. Fred Lind-strom watched the workout from the stands yesterday and believes he'll be ready to work within a week.

Robert Shawkey, the new manager of the Yankees, has done the right thing when It comes to predicting who will win the American League pen nant.

In his discussion of the situation yesterday, he admitted the existence of the lively ball.

Match Necessary to Decide Opponent of Mandell By FRANK CASALE The only thing thus far that has held up the proposed match between Jack. (Kid) Berg and Al Singer, regarded as one of the greatest "naturals" of the current year, was the bond of friendship existing between them. The utter folly of such an, obstacle has become apparent to Berg, however'. And Berg. broadmlnded, more appreciative of monetary values than Singer, seems willing to Ignote that bartler and fight The Englishman's exnlanstlon of the 'situation' is" based upon a line Of reasoning that )s not without merit.

He views tHt with Singer strictly in the light of a business proposition. As such, he feels that their mutual attachment and affection shouldn'tf block the deal. Sol Goldie. darjDer manacjr of Berg, last night commented on the friendship angle which prevented tne matcn with Singer from being arranged to date. He said: "Berg Idolizes Singer; thinks Al Is Just about as fine a fellow personally as he ta a fighter.

And I know that 'Singer feels the same way about Berg. "There never were two pals more devoted to each other than Singer and Berg. And It Is really hard to ask them to fight each other. But something must be done, and 111 toll you why. Singer wants to fight Sammy Mandell for the lightweight Ruddy Sets Record in 300-yd.

A. featured a water carnival In the 75-foot -New York A. C. pool last night. Zoble earned his title In fancy diving from the four-foot springboard.

Zoble came through with an average of 123.78 points, while Rahmsdorf and Benjamin Grady, competing unattached, secured the places with 12051 and 110.64 points. Baddy bettered the metropolitan standard for 300-yardi free style In a handicap snatch In which he allowed a 10-second tart to Edward Lee, national long distance champion of 1929. Ruddy thrashed to victory in 3:18 and wiped out the listed record of 3:22 2-5 established several years ago by another clubmate, Tedford H. Cann. at the time a world's record holder.

i The A. A. U. simply falls all over its pure self to keep amateur boxing lily-white. Liam 0'Shea, of the Irish-American froxinfr Association, planned to put on a short exhibition bout between Jack Johnson and Tommy Burns, former heavyweight champions, after the amateur show, to be run for the benefit of the Home for Irish Emigrant Girls at Manhattan Casino next Monday night.

Johnson and Burns fought in Australia twenty-one years ago. But the A. A. U. frowns on the novelty, because, as O'Shea has been notified by the officials, the amateur rules (whatever thsj- are) do not permit professionals to appeaj; in ihe same tournament with amateurs.
