and one other end who will be purchased from one weighs 228 pounds; Harold (Bugs) Ely at 280 pounds and Babe Wright of Kentucky at 235 pounds. Cagle and Kelly will bring seven ends to training camp Friday, Paul Riblett of U. of and Deb Rowan of Ohio being hold Boston Red Sox of the league teams within a day or two. Lyons and Hugret scale a bit above the 200 mark while Ray-burn and Reynolds are a bit short of this mark. All in all, the line, from end to end, will average in the neighborhood of 22S pounds.

It is possible that as many as 15 backfield men will be among the 30 reporting to Coach Jack McBwan at Camp Carlisle, Dutchess County, Friday. Cagle and Kelly expect to retain two complete sets of backs and feel that of the 16 they will have eight of equally good calibre. The Brooklyn owners feel that alternating backfields of equal ability will make for a smooth attack throughout an entire game. Just what backfield talent will be retained is entirely up to Coach McEwan. Cagle and Kelly will supply the former West Point coach with the material and this material will be placed under McEwan's complete control.

PATTISON TO PITCH AGAINST SPRING1ES York Club Ace Will Hurl for Bushwicks Tonight. One of the best fought battles of the semi-pro season Is looked for tonight as the Bushwicks, riding along smoothly as a result of fine week-end showings, clash with the Sprlngflelds, owners of a nine-game winning streak, at Dexter Park. The Bushwicks dropped a one-run decision last Wednesday when the Sprlngflelds evened the season series at two games each, but the Kandy Kids are going in fast tempo as a result of their walkover win from the Bay Parkways and their even split with the Strouds-burgh Poconos Sunday. Jimmy Pattison, product of the Bushwicks now playing for York in the New York-Pennsylvania League, is listed to hurl tonight against Henry Gramp, the Recreation Park ace.

3 and Austin No. 4. SHIELDS IS RATED FIFTH Placed Ahead of Vines on Strength of Superior RecordWood No. 7. By BERNARD BROWN Seldom, if ever, has it been such a difficult task to select th world's first ten ranking tennis players as it was this year.

So many upsets were written into the records during the season of 1933, so many victories that counteracted other victories, that the selections must inevitably be open to argument, and plenty of arguments at that. Nevertheless, we have chosen those names consider the ten best. We have seen all of them in action this year except two Henri Cochet and Bunny Austin, and these two are picking on their records. Ot the nine players given honorable mention, we have seen all but two Baron Gottfried Von Cramm, of Germany, and Roderich Menxel, ot Cxecho-Slovakia, and again we rely upon the records. In our humble opinion, Jack Crawford, despite the five-set de feat he suffered at Forest Hills in the final round of the United States championship, must be ranked as the world'g No.

1 player. He captured the Australian, French and English championships and won all of his Davis Cup matches ex eept one that didn't count, to Jlro Baton, of Japan. And he lost to Fred Perry at Forest Hills on a day when he was far from his physical best; when, in fact, he was in physical distress for the last two seta and could barely drag himself around the court One must admit the possibility that, at nis best, Crawford might have beaten Perry. Perry captured only one major title, the American championship. He was beaten by Satoh in the French championship at Antenil and by Norman G.

Farquharson, of (south Africa, in the English cham pionshlp at Wimbledon. In other words, he was eliminated In the early rounds of two of the three major tournaments in which he competed. On the favorable side, he won all of his Davis Cup matches defeating Vivian McGrath, Ullsworttt Vines, Wllmer Allison, Henri Cochet and Andre Merlin. But It later turned out that it was not much of a trick to beat Vines or Allison this year. Cachet's Record Not Bad Cochet, the fading wizard of Lyons, Is ranked No.

3 in spite of tne fact that he has turned pro feaaionaL He competed as an ami teur in 1938 and that is sufficient unto the day. He is chosen for the No. I position because he reached the finals of the French cham- pionshlp, losing to Crawford: gained the semi-finals at Wimbledon, losing to Vines, and defeated Austin in the Davis Cup challenge round losing to Perry. Austin Is given No. 4 on the strength of his victories over Vines and Allison in the Davis Cup inter- sone final and over Merlin in tho challenge round.

He did not fare so weU at Wimbledon and he did not compete either in the French or American tournaments. Frank 8hields is ranked No. because he has the best record of any American this year. He captured five major grass court tour naments, defeating Vines in the final round at Newport, and he reached the semi-finals of the U. 8, -championship, losing to Crawford, On the debit side of the ledger, he was beaten on clay by Frankle Par-.

leer and J. Gilbert Hall and In the French title tourney by Christian Boussus. Vines is ranked No. for two reasons. He reached the final round at Wimbledon, losing to Crawford in a nard-fought five-set match and he went to the final at New port, where be bowed to Shields.

He carried Perry to five sets in the Davis Cup lnterzone final, when he was handicapped by a bad ankle, and collapsed at match point from pnysicai fatigue. Wood Named for No. 1 The placing of Sidney Wood at No. 7 may come as a surprise to some people. He has done very little this season to boast about.

But he attained his peak for the men's nationals and bowed to Crawwford In the fourth round in a stirring four-set match, the second best match of the tourney, and from the standpoint of the quality of tennis played, a better match than the final round itself. He had the misfortune to meet Crawford when the Australian was close to his peak. Otherwise there is no telUng how far Wood might have one. Indeed, we were so taken by Wood's play in the national that we would like to see him on next year's Davis Cup team and we feel that he Is a better player than any of ine outers raniceo. Deiow mm.

We five Lester Stoefen, Ryosuke Nunol and Gregory Mangln the eighth, ninth and tenth places with little comment Stoefen went to the semi-finals at Forest Hills, Mangln to the quarter-finals. Stoefen also went to the quarter-finals at Wimbledon. Nunol went to the fourth' round at Forest Hills and had the misfortune to meet Shields when that stalwart young man was playing his best tennis of the soa- son. Mangln was good enough to conquer Satoh in five sets in the fourth round and gave Shields a great battle in tne quarter-finals. As for those who are given hon orable mention.

Satoh has the best record." But Vivian McGrath, Adrian Qulst, Don Turnbull and Frankle Parker are coming, while the great little Japanese player evi-' dently reached the summit of his powers in 1931. Lime Bryan Grant might claim the No. 10 rank-' lng with some Justification, but we feel that he does not measure up to Nunol or Mangln. Now let the pieces fall where they AN Dr. Gregg Manufactures a 74 in Old-Timers Play Over Aoawamis Course.

By LOU NISS The seniors will always be the real golfers of the country. These menj "ranging from 66 to 88 years of age come from all over the United States to take part in their annual tournament with only the love of the game and the spirit of good fellowship in mind. Of course they play for the United States Golf Association championship in their class, but the title is purely incidental. It's more or less of a great get together with a chance to show their friends of many years how much of their golf game they have retained. Get By SO Class And when it comes to the latter part, most of them are capable of putting to shame many of the younger players and all of those who have been struggling year after year to get in the 90 sjass.

The score of Dr. George T. Gregg would have been very desirable by many of the competitors In the National Amateur at Cincinnati. Play ing over the rolling and difficult Apawamis country ciud course Dr. Gregg manufactured a three over par 74 to lead the field at the end of the first 18 holes of play.

Of course, some of the veterans felt that Dr. Gregg should have scored as well as he did. After all he is Just one of the few 'kids' in the tournament being a bare 59 years old. Incidentally, Dr. Gregg is competing for the last time in the 'baby' class.

Next year he will move up among the more mature youngsters who range in age from 60 to 64. Has 3 -Stroke Edge Dr. Gregg's 74 gave him a three stroke edge over David N. Tallman. while Tallman was one shot ahead of Robert W.

Douglas, former presi dent of the United States Golf Association who will play in the sec- ona aivision of the tournament starting tomorrow, is the defending champion and also the record holder for this event Douglas won last year with a pair of 74s and Gregg nas a chance or equalling or bettering the tournament mark. Incidentally, if Gregg wins this year it will be his third title for he won the championship in 1929 and 1980. Just to prove that age cannot interfere with his play, Nat Vickers of Queens Valley turned In a card of 108.

Vickers is 88 years old and the daddy of all seniors.

Have Helped Bull-like Rushes in Ninth Took Plenty Out of Tony; Misses Kill. By HENRY McLEMORE High overhead, red and green running light twinkling, droned a blimp, symbol of man's progress. Down below, in a gallows-like ring, two men, their faces smeared with blood, tangled in a savage fight that was a throwback to the days when civilization was Just dawning. But to get to the matter of that affair at the Polo Grounds when Barney Ross licked Cansonerl. It was the same old story of a young fellow going up meeting a veteran coming down.

The fellow coming down, especially if he pos sesses the skill and heart of a Canzoneri, looks magnificent in spots but winds up behind the eight ball stymied by the strength and endurance and fire of youth. Best In, Ninth For example, Canzoneri was never better than in that ninth round when he discarded boxing for the less subtle business of lowering his head, charging like a bull, and raining his Sunday punches all over the premises. A dozen of his wmstung rights and lefts caught Ross on the bullseye. and the little Jewish fellow's knees buckled, and a look of great anguish came into nis big brown eyes. But the charge took almost as much out of Canzoneri.

The Canzoneri of three or four years ago wouldn't have missed the kill. But the Canzoneri of last night did, simply because his arms grew weary, and Ross (who, by the way, can take a punch for anybody's money) slipped away and out of danger. This was Tony's big chance. After that he never was a serious factor. Ross took the 12th, 13th and 14th and sewed up the match.

Ross Scores Early In the early rounds It was Ross' youthful stamina and fire that brought him through round after round. In the savage, wicked hand to hand exchanges it was invariably Canzoneri who was forced to break Into retreat or grab, despite the fact that he was throwing the harder punches. The barrages that made him break ground last night wouldn't have bothered him a few years ago. But a man, no matter how tough, how game, can fight the tough 'uns Tony has, and not be softened, up. A decade of steady campaigning against the best In the business Is bound to show.

The reasoning of Judge George Kelly, who cast his ballot for Canzoneri, has us baffled. Our score sheet gave Ross eight rounds as against three for the challenger. And our tally was very similar to Judge Harold Barnes and most of the other boxing writers. Perhaps Kelly doesn't give much credit to body punches. I Contincd from Prtctding Foot) willingness to exchange punches and his speed afoot earned him a Just verdict Canxouerl Stunned It wasn't until after Announcer Joseph Humphreys raised Ross' right hand that Canzoneri realized that defeat, the black camel of destiny, and again knelt at the doorstep.

Tony's aged father climbed up the rlngsteps, embraced his son and then picked up a chair. I thought that the elderly gent was going to sit down, but other ring-si era say that he was for firing the stool at one of the Judges. Incidentally, Papa Canzonerrs aim if any was directed in the general direction of Judge Kelly, who voted In favor of Tony. In the other corner, Ross, the scholar, knew no ennui. He took It all good naturedly and was positive that he won.

Barney must have received a great thrill for here In New York the Chicagoan was regarded as an empty bladder puffed up by the winds of publicity. The champion is anything but that rn fact Ross Is the only rlngman I ever have seen who has the faculty of hiding his ability and mister, that's the quintesence of skill in any line of business.
