C. VREELAND. WHAT queer twist of psychology, or luck or chance or untoward circumstance, anything you wish to call It, causes Jockeys who ride favorites to ride bungling races? These errors of judgment are not made regularly. Oh, no, that would never do. It would cause the heavens to fall, if such were the cass and maybe a sledge hammer or two.

But occasionally one sees riders of repute and skill, such as Johnny Maiben unquestionably Is, make errors of judgment that cause patrons of the track to dance with rage. For three seasons Maiben was chief Jockey for Walter J. Salmon, but report says he has not signed to date for 1929. There is not a nicer chap personally than Maiben. He Is self-effac doubles tltleholders, had to play uieir best game to capture tins match.

Joey Griffin, the man who makes the spectacular shots but gets no applause because he makes them too consistently, found a new way to gain the plaudits of the crowd last night, with hts match against George Dworman practicaly clinched, the Detroiter toyed with his quarry while Dworman got five straight points and the crowd got frantic. When the score got close, however, didn't give the un-derdog a chance, but ran the game right out. The summaries: DOUBLES THIRD ROUND. W. Kamman and A.

Del Gainer, the old major league first baseman, has been signed by Baltimore as a coach.

He was with Rochester in a similar capacity last season and frequently went in as ft pinch-hitter despite, his 40 years. What is more, he was able to deliver regularly. The chances are frits Malsei will also send Del into battle at critical intervals. INC: TO SEMI FINALS Griffin Toys With Oppo-nent in National Hand ball Tourney. When 19-year-old Al Banuet signified his intention of entering both the singles and doubles divisions ot the National A.

A. U. four-wall soft ball handball championships at the New York A. older and wiser heads Tiodded their disapproval and said that it was Impossible for a man to survive in either division if he were forced to play two matches a day. Now It seems that the all too erudite tournament masters will have to recant and disrupt their schedule in the bargain.

And all because Banuet's success in both divisions of the play has been a convincing demonstration of the fact that "it can be done." The callow California youth has proceded to wade through all popositmn In the earlier rounds, and now he's firmly esconced In the semi-final bracket In both the singles and doubles. If Banuet's unprecedented success continues, the usual plan of running the finals in both singles and doubles off within a short time tomorrow afternoon will have to be abondoned. The showing of Banuet( who halls from the Olympic Club in San Francisco, has dimmed the luster of the meteoric path that Joey Orlffln, the defending champion, has eut through the ranks or contenders with straight-game victories. The California star has kept apace with Orlffln In the singles, and in addition he has advanced to the semifinal round' in the doubles with Lane McMillan, also of the Olympic Club, as a partner. Banuet Gets Real Tesb Yesterday Banuet encountered a gruelling test in the doubles, but he and McMillan won out in three hard games after dropping the second by a 1921 score.

The singles match was somewhat easier, and the San Franciscan took the measure of Harry Bell, who had been one of his afternoon victims In the doubles, by a 219, 217 score. Isidore Knopp and Larry Ehrllch, the crack Union Temple doubles combination, met defeat In the quarter-final round at the hands of Willis Kamman and Al of the Detroit A. 2119, 211.

He succeeds Dave Skudin, a former Buff and Blue player of renown who later added to his fame in the moleskins under Chick Meehan at New York University. Skudin resigned at the close of the last gridiron campaign after having served in that capacity for one sea son. The previous year Dave had assisted Meehan as a line mentor at N. Y. U.

He had replaced Bill Bross as football coach at Erasmus Hail when Bross was compelled to relin quish his duties because of poor health. When news of Shean's appoint ment reached the ears of the students they were Jubilant. They are thoroughly familUrr with the new coach's ability, as he has served throughout the country as an in structor in sports. Drilling scholas tic teams 13 not new to Shean, as he is a versatile mentor who has taught practically every sport on the curriculum at the leading high schools. The new boss of the urtdiron aiz- gregation at the Flatbush institution Is a close student of the game and for a number of years has ranked as one of the leading officials of the country in all sports.

He has not only officiated at scholastic contests but big college events as well. A Strict Disciplinarian. Shean is noted as a strict disci plinarian. He served in the Navy as a memoer 01 tne Hospital corps and later entered tne merchant marine service. He fitted himself for at phy sical training teacher's license at bprmgfieid College, where he developed into one of the beat all-around athletes that Institution ever pro- aucea.

Prior to entering the Board of Ed ucation system he was an instructor at Y. M. C. A. branches in Cleveland 1 and Ithaca before he was transferred to the Naval Y.

M. C. A. in Brooklyn, where he became a big fa vorite, ne iougnt in the world War with the 13th Coast Defense Regiment. Since becoming affiliated with thp Board of Education, Mr.

Shean has been at numerous schools as a coach. He was transferred to Erasmus from Alexander Hamilton High School last September and his ability was discovered from the outset. In taking over the reins of the Erasmus Hall eleven, Shean Is mak- mg a Dig sacrifice, as his services as an official are always in great demand. He worked as a refer or umpire at all of the leading school boy games of the city for several years and was classed as one of the best in the East. fanean knows his football and Is a EHIS HALL RAYMOND ATKINSON Of St.

John's High School Is all set to make it the most eventful year of his career. The versatile youngster has already earned three major letters for football, basketball and hockey and is out to win his fourth in baseball. He looms up as one of the outstanding can didates. He is so anxious to make good that he will strive to win his spurs either as an inftclder or an outfielder. This is Ray's last season in scholastic sports.

Raymond gained the preliminary training in sports that has since stood him in good stead at Mount Carmel Ray Atkinson. Parochial Bcnooi, Astoria, where he was a guard on the basketball quintet for two years. His freshman year at St. John's saw him starring in baseball and basketball with the midgets. Since then Atkinson has acquired his greatest fame as a sturdy quarterback on the football eleven for three years.

His work in the signal box was never of the flashy type, but he constantly proved his worth by the foxy manner in which he called his plays to fit every situation' no matter how difficult they happened to be. It was the remarkable directing of the youngster that made the Red and White a strong contender for the Brooklyn title right up to the last regular game on the schedule. In 1928, wlien St. John's won the Catholic basketball title of the State and advanced to the semi-final round for the national honors, Raymond contributed a yeoman's share toward the success of the team, although he occupied a utility role. He could always be counted upon to give a good account of himself whenever called upon.

This year he was a regular guard on a mediocre outfit and ranked high as an all- around luminary. Taking up hockey for the first time this winter. Atkinson became a mainstay of the sextet in one of the" defense positions. He became so overjoyed with his work on the ice that it thought it worth while to have his name stored In the archives with the other four-letter athletes of the school, and now baseball has attracted his attention. Next fall he is looking forward to Joining his former basketball past master at handling boys.

It was because of this that he was approached with the proposition of taking over the Buff and Blue ag gregation. He refused at first, but was finally persuaded to change his mind. With Shean at the helm, Erasmus Hall expects to regain the prestlfje lost through a poor season in littB. i 4' -I'M; For Our 25th Anniversary we have assembled the most unusual assortment of high-grade gentlemen's shoes ever shown.

HiRh Order. Place on top of this skill of high order. There is no better Jockey riding today than Johnny when he is at his No lad has a nicer srat, a finer pair of hands and can ride a long Journey better than he But he has his faults, chief of which Is an inability to use a whip advantageously so as to get the i most pped out of his mount without permitting him to swerve.

In this re-snect he is no worse than Ban Sande, one-time premier pigskin "'two other' faults of Maiben are: Waiting too long for a challenge and an inclination to go the longest inumey when a little devil-may-care recklessness, such as cutting througn an opening next the rail, might help his mount's chance a great deal It must not be thought that Mal-b always takes the overland route.

Many things have been said and written regarding Maiben's riding. Those views usually are a mixture of gecd. bad and indifferent. Maiben has the knack of making men praise or damn him. There is no middle course.

He is considered by race-pocrs, at various times, to be high cinrs and a blah. a question which he has received the most from racegoers In Vv last two years and a half praise cr blame. At times I have seen him ride with all the cleverness and ability of a star of the first magnitude In his particular line. At others his vrk was that of the veriest tyro.
