BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1930. --Yn Victims of Rough Riding Get Breaks in N. Y. A. C.

Games 22 THEY SIGNED UP FOR UNCLE WILBERT Martin's Accidental Collision With Phil Edwards Is Costly By GEORGE C'URBIE Ray Conger. Phil Edwards and, although he didn't run, Jimmy Qulnn, Holy Cross' former sprinter, made a whole Robins Is Cut lo 14 With One Week lo Go By THOMAS HOLMES After plowing through drifts of Know to cpen this morning's mail, Frank B. York, Brooklyn's active baseball president, felt highly rewarded at finding no less than seven signed contracts awaiting him. It was by far the largest delegation of the winter. From Havana came the signed contract of Senor Adolfo Luque, the pitching pearl of the Antilles, who, according to widely published dispatches last week, was a holdout.

Cllse Dudley and Luther Roy are other right-handed pitchers who have fallen Into line. Then there Is Shortstop Jackie Warner sale raid last night on the handsome silverware which the N. Y. A. C.

had up tor competition at its annual games. Ray carried off the Baxter Cup for the mile. It is the fourth of its line. Upon its chaste and glistening sides were graven the names of Lloyd Hahn and Leo Lermond, winners in 1928 and 1929; but Conger's time, 4:19 4-5, was the fastest and the mug went to him by that token. Phil Edwards carried off the Brefney Cup for the half-mile, chiefly because he had two full i1 tyS WJ )7 )') I iff- yy x'Z V'' ''t- Cc? terms with Babe and Johnny within tlie two weeks which will elapse before they have been asked to report at the camp.

thing like 288 yards and inches longer than 3 miles, showed a disposition to get all wound up. When a man challenged him, Paul didn't hurry up until his rival was running alongside. And on the closing lap, Petklewicz jumped him. He won by Just about the margin of that surprise party. McCluskey, who without once losing his smile, took ail Unit and Outfielders Rube Bressler, Hal Lee and Max West All very and yet it still appears that a formidable hold- out'sltuatlon faces the Robins, with less than a week to go before the first delegation of athletes Is to start work at the Clearwater training camp.

Fourteen athletes are still unsigned, including most of the prospective regulars of the club. SIX PITCHERS AND TWO CATCHERS UNSIGNED Pitchers thany Vance, Watson Clark, Ray Moss, Austin Moore, Jim Faulkner and Hollis Thurston are unsigned. And so are Catchers Hank DeBerry and Val Plchllch. And all of these eight aro supposed to appear with the initial squad of Robing to perspire 'neath the hot Florida sun. It Is true that Vance appears to be the only serious holdout of the bunch.

The club's efforts to perform a major operation upon salary of 1929 without the use of an anesthetlo is bcund to meet with strenuous opposition from the well-known hermit of Homosassa. Clark and Moss are young pitchers who worked with fine success last season. They were both offered a siaeable raise in pay. Apparently they are not quite satisfied, but it is unlikely that the present situation fluds them very far out of line. PICINICH REFUSES TO TAKE CUT The club has offered Val Picirtich less than he drew last season, and the stocky little catcher from Jersey Is quite indignant about it.

Just what, if anything, annoys DeBerry is unknown. It may be that Hank will personally deliver his contract at the camp, as he has done several times in the past. Wally Gilbert. Eddie Moore, Harvey Hendrlck and Gordon Slade are the four unsigned Infielders. Slade is unsigned simply because it takes days for a contract to travel from Brooklyn to Redwood City, and back.

None of the others loom as serious holdouts. Among the outfielders only two are without the fo'd Babe Herman and Johnny Frederick. As both are hiffhlv esteemed as 1930 regulars, this looks like something serious. As a matter of fact, President York believes that the club will come to i sealed, lor a season with Uncle WU- Mfi l' iTTVI All these huskies have delivered i I I'Kl their contracts, duly signed snd ,7 i k-4l' muM Scorer Crovat Never Chews Pencil When Rangers Are Losing By HAROLD C. BL'BFl IX you care to look to tha left or the right according to your seat check of the dasher at the Maple Leal-Ranger hockey game at the Garden tonight you will see a heavy-set young man bending industriously over a huge writing tablet in his lap, jotting down ligures.

Even In the most exciting moments out on the ice he never breaks the point of his pencil. Calmly he writes it all into the history of hockey a goal for Frank Boucher, an assist for Bill Cook, a penalty for Ralph Taylor because Lamie Crovat is to the Rangers logs up on it. How close Phil came to not innuing it shall be told a few paragraphs further down. Jimmy Qulnn got the cup put up by Major William Kennelly, presi dent of the N. Y.

A. for the because he turned In the fastest time in the past three years Only the Buenueyer Cup. new to competition this year, Joe Tlerney having retired the original a year ago alter it had withstood tlie assaults of flying feet since 1915, re mained as something still to be hhot at, although Charles Engle of Yale made a pretty hot bid to get the first leg on the new masterpiece of the silversmith's art. HERE'S ONE TIME EDWARDS GOT BREAKS Edwards' triumph was one of those things In which he might have been said to have got the breaks. The long-gaited N.

T. IT. student, who now runs in the colors of the Hamilton Olympic Cup of Ontario, took the gun aa a call to lead the parade and all went well until the bell-lap, when up came Dr. Paul Martin, the Swiss medical student, like a fast mail from, Chicago. Stride by stride Martin galloped, cutting into Phil's lead, and on the last turn before the stretch the Swiss made his bid.

He ran smack into Phil's back, bounced to the rear, lost live yards and then uncorked, another spurt, to speed down the stretch while 12,000 yelled for him to come on. He thumped that track to take second place only a couple of feet behind Edwards, while Fred Velt swept across the finish hard on his heels. RACE NOT ALWAYS TO THE SWIFT That wasnt the only race to pull the crowd out ot Its seats and make the rafters ring with an ear-splitting din. George Simpson, credited with the fastest official 100 yards ever run in the United States, 9.4 seconds, after winning his heat handily in the special 60-yard sprint, lost to Jimmy Daley of Holy Cross in tho final. Simpson, you will recall, set the track world by the ears when he beat Claude Brace of Bice Institute, leaping from the Nicholson starting blocks which Jack Elders used indoors this winter.

But George last night was content to spring from plain 2x4' nailed to the track. Jimmy Daley went Win one better. Jimmy sprang from the boards, minus blocks and everything. And beat his whole field off the mark. An interesting sidelight was the survival In their heats by Frank, Hussey, the official 1928 Olympio ship stowaway and now on comeback bent, and by A.

Niles Schoenig, the Columbia youngster. Men like Hollis Hand of Princeton and Kieselhorst of Yale were shut out. So the sprint brought a lot of glory to its finalists. ROUGH WORK DOESN'T STOP FETKIEWICZ Perhaps the most dramatic race was the won by Stanislaus Petklewicz, tha tamed Polish bearer of messages to Garcia. Stanislaus, leaving fthis role of transatlantic courier, took a terrific 'jockeying from Frank Bayley of N.

Y. A. Paul Rekers of Perm Stat. Joe McCluskey of Fordham. and other distinguished experts and explorers of elbow jungle.

So far as the smiling, boyish McCluskey was concerned, however, it was a case of the biter bit, for Joe, the moment he stepped up towards the head of the procession, took such a rough riding as you seldom see, even in indoor tracks. Everybody at one time or another took a turn at stepping on his flying heels, giving him the old hooked elbow or an old-fashioned shove. McCLl'SKEY'S EXPERIENCE MAY COME IN HANDY Meanwhile. Rekers. who had taken the lead In the closing stages of th long grind, which is some Puis Siren Alarm On Precious Prises John Hertz, owner of Reigh Count, winner of the 1928 Kentucky derby, has taken elaborate precautions to protect the, four gold cups his big red thoroughbred won.

The cups, standing on a mantel, are attached to a siren which sounds when the trophies are moved. A friend picked up one bv mistake, and the alarm, which cau be heard all over tho village, brought the Cary, 111., flra department and the constabulary rushing to the scene. Melodrama of 1929 Buttle Of Miami Missing This Year LUQUE MAY HAVE SOMETHING LEFT The second contract mailed by the club to Herman calls for $15,000. Babe asked for $25,000, which was shooting at the moon more or lees. Jist what Frederick's demands call lor is unknown, but it Is known that tho club has gone a long way toward meeting them.

Of the seven whose signed contracts arrived yesterday, the advent ot Senor Luque, the conscientious Cuban, will be watched with the keenest of interest. Luque is registered in the record book as 40 years old. Some say that he Is two or three years older than that. He was obtained In that trade for Doug McWeeny a couple of weeks aqo so that he might become chief embalnier of the Brooklyn pitching staff. Manager Robinson believes that Senor Luque, despite the fact that he is comparatively bent with years, has' enoutrh left In the old soupbone to go at top speed for several Innings on one or two or three occasions a week.

BRESSLER WILL START IN LEFT FIELD Adolfo won only live games last season, yet there is some reason to believe that Robbie has the correct line on the situation. For although the Cuban's won and lost record was rather deplorable, he limited his opponents to a low number of earned runs and showed other signs of real effectiveness. Throughout all his years at Cincinnati Luque was noted for his hard luck. Time and again he was beaten in ball games well-night perfectly pitched. Perhaps the change in scenery will change his luck.

The veteran Rube Bressler at present is not counted upon as an all-year regular, but he will probably start the season in left field. Later, when Del Bissonette is abl to return to first base, Harvey Hendrlck will replace Bressler in left. Max West and Hal Lee are two right-handed hitting outfielders. It is likely that one of the pair will earn a utility job with the club-most likely Lee, who opepars the better hitter. Miami, has been reconstructed In the process of transplanting from Miami Beach, with an Increase in the seating capacity from 30,000 to 50,000.

To entertain; a wider variety of prospective customers and not, as might bo supposed, to keep the combatants from tearing at each gratuitously, the training camps have been scattered from Coral Gagles where the giunt Argentine Victorio "Campolo is training, to Palm Beach, where the somewhat scholarly Tommy Lovahran, does his stuff Ina society setting. Sharkey is in Miami Beach and Scott along Biscay ne Boulevard. Miami, where the sightseeing buses can't miss seeing him or hearing his volimble manager, Jimmy Johnston. Jimmy Maloney, whose heavyweight asniraions, like those of Loughran, were upset by one of Sharkey's ferocious moods, contributes to the gayety over along the beach. Sharkey easily dominates the preliminary scenery, without any such comnetition as he had from the Stribling family circus last year.

None of the ancient artifices of the ballyhoo are needed to reveal that the Boston sailor is in fine lighting condition, nor has anything hap-uened so far to change tlie prediction of experts that he will enter tlie ring with a bit: advantage in fighting equipment, speed and nunjh over ths Britith champion, lanky Phil Sctxt. Phil gives the iin-oression. even in walking- around, that he exriects at any moment to be sandbagged without warning. IOWA MEETS BIG TEN RIVAL Chicago, Feb. 18 The University ol Iowa will actively re-establish athletic relations with the Big Ten tomorrow night, meeting- the University of Chicaao in a dual gymnastic meet.

The Cliicago schedule was filled in December, but Coach Dan Hotter agreed to make room follow. Hockey Shot So Hot Set Goalie on Fire Montreal, Feb. 17 i Canadian Press How a sizzluig hot shot from an opposing forward set the goalie ou lire is told by spectators of a Quebec junior amateur hockey game here yesterday. This goalie, Abie Goldberry. young schoolboy, had placed hi hick hockey suit a box of matches and a celluloid comb, among other belingings transferred frum his mufti.

The puck struck the pockrt con-taitung the matches. The box and comb became ignited, and fire to the boy's cluthes. The lad was badly burned before players and spectators could extinguish tlie flames. Goldberry team lost tha game. smooth thumping, thereby becoming the popular hero, finished a good third at the distance.

He's a long-legged boy if ever there was one and has a lot to learn. That is about the only yardage between him and great running fame, for Joe has the speed, the stamina and what U. much more, a cheerful mental attitude in this trick of running around a board track. Ho learned a lot of indoor running last night and may count himself a gloriously marked man Jrom now on. CONGER TAKES BAXTER MILE The Kngle-Blake duel in tlie "500" ended with the bell-lap when Charley elected to step out.

Among those conspicuously absent, al though entered In tlie meet, was Reginald Bowen of tlie University of Pittsburgh, who Is still laboring over the problems of tho Pytha goreans instead of running, his university being funny that way con cerning scholastic requirements. Ray conger won the Baxter mile by lighting out when the spirit moved him, followed by Joe Hickey of the N. Y. 17. squad, who left Gene Venzke, the new Swedish-American A.

C. club-developed sensation, nailed to the track on the bell-lap. And Holy Cross beat Georgetown in a mile relay in 3:23 3-5. Let the I. C.

boys stick that in their pipes and smoke it. INJURED FOOT MARES STURDY CAUTIOUS Fred Sturdy, who a year ago did 14 feet in the pole vault at these games, tripped over the bar at no better than 12 feet 0 inches last night. That was a bit of an upset in itself. Tommy Warne of Northwestern University won the only field event, making 13 feet 6 Inches, which he cleared by a foot. Barney Ber- linger, Perm all around man, did 13 feet for third place.

Warne has his own way of win ning the pole vault. Between Jumps he carefully rubs himself down, pulls on his track slacks, stretches out on a green pad, pulls on a purple sleeping bag with a zipper catch, folds the towel under his. head and lies back to look at the ceiling, chewing gum industriously all the wliile. This is what is known as preserving the proper mental atti tude, and Al McGall, who developed Sabih Carr and Sturdy at Yale, was properly impressed. Sturdy seemed to be having trouble with his treacherous in jured foot and spent most of the time carefully falling on his shoul ders to save his crippled arch.

TED CLARK IS STILL CHAMPION Incidentally, it seems that the re sult of the standing broad jump as announced to the panting press Saturday night at the Crescent A. championships did Ted Clark an injustice. Ted was announced as having broken a first place tie with Sol Furth, N. Y. U.

captain. It was said that they both stopped getting higher up at 4 feet 10 inches. As a matter of fact, Ted cleared 4 feet 11 inches. And he has won the title for the past seven years. And his right, like Alexander Sel kirk In his solitude, there is none to dispute.

He won the title by going higher thatt anybody else, which seems to be what champion-shins are designed for. The remarks which I made yes-terday eonneming the foolishness of iump-offs in a championship event still stands, however, even If it thus becomes merely an academic point of interest. country will have a chance to express an opinion." On another point of policy Mr. Dailey was emphatic. The three-man Davis Cup Committee consisting of Joseph W.

Wear, Philadelphia, chairman; FiU-Eugene Dixon, Philadelphia, non-playing team captiiin; and Hol-combe Ward, New York, as well as the Wightman Cup Committee com prising Harry a Knox, Chicago, chairman; Joseph W. Ivy, Kansas City; and Jones W. Mersereau. New York, will have complete authority In their own sphere. President Dailey was born in Dayton, June 23, 1874, played football and tennis at Washburn Collegp, Kansas, dining a brief three-months period, then left to join a surveying expedition Into Arizona, later blossoming out as a real estate man tn New York, says the Associated Press.

They are tin Jaca Wamer, t2 Rube Bressler, (3) Max West, (4) Hal Lee, (5) Cllse Dudley, (6i Luther Roy and (7) Adolfo Luque, turned on him. "And I want to say what others, have already said Baker was a grand sportsman and a gentleman through and through.

He never lost his temper. I was ou the Wanderers and the Crescent A. C. teams and Hobej was with the St. Nicks.

We vere all just amateurs, but Baker could have made good to any league. He could have made good with the Rangers. One of our players did make good with the. Americana Mickey Roach." TOM HOWARD CAUGHT HIM VERY YOUNG It was the famous Tom Howard who gave Crovat his hockey impetus. Howard's boy attended the same school, played on the same kids' hockey team, and the proud father used to watch the schoolboys at their hockey workouts.

He soon forgot his own boy In watching Lamie Crovat. Barely out of knee pants, Lamle's trial with the Crescents followed. "You were only 13?" interpolated the skeptical reporter. Crovat looked surprised. he countered.

"Why But the child prodigy had other places to win medals. At Hamilton, under George Bonhag, he went in for track, doing things at 300 yards and in the mile relay. Bonhag taught him a lot about running on the einders, but he learned about running on the football field from George Foster Sanford. While Hamilton was practicing for East Aurora the great colleee coach came up from Rutgers and taught Crovat the "twinkle step," which is the fancy name for change of pace. Crovat must have twinkled on that 90-yard gallop.

HE CONCLUDES WITH OPINION OF RANGERS It's all past and gone for Lamie now except keeping the records the bard, clean check, the dash down the field. He must just make black marks on a white pad while others set tlie crowds to roaring. If he makes zig-zag lines on his report now and then he's just dodging again an East Aurora tackier. "Are- the Rangers going to win back the Stanley Cup this I asked, realizing Scorer Crovat has close-up of every home game of the Patrick puck passers and should know a thing or so about form, the breaks and the rest of it. Crovat stuck his tongue in his cheek, winking.

"The Boston Bruins are a good club he conceded "But that coming series with the Maroons, when tlie first place teams play off, is going to soften one. of "em up for the Rangers maybe. The Rangers might take the winners." Lamie became thoughtful, of a sudden. "They might, at that," he repeated softly. St.

I'm not demonstrative But I live every play with 'em. It, comes a little hard for Crovat to sit passively, a spectator behind the dasher, while men are taking their bumps and going, to glory out on the ice.

When he was younger and more sylphlike he was a hockey player himself, a quarterback on his school and college elevens, and a track man of parts. Now Crovat sells those big electric signs that have made Broadway famous when he isn't scoring for the Rangers. He didn't have his. suitcase of samples with him when I saw him at the Garden today. SOME GOOD HOCKEY THINGS DON'T COME OUT OF CANADA He's a New York boy who at-tended a number of our best prep schools before he won undying grid-Iron fame at Hamilton Institute.

He went to Cutler, Irving, Stevens Prep and Hamilton. Fourteen years ago Hamilton turned out the outstanding football team of tlie metropolitan district. At Hamlltun they still chant of the saga of Its achievements how It met and beat the mighty East Aurora team from Illinois for the schoolboy championship of the United States. The Aurora line, from tackle to tackle, averaged 173 pounds. They dont make schoolboys as big as that In the East.

The game was played at Washington Park, Brooklyn. "Two of our boys were badly bunged up from battering those husks," said Crovat. "They went around the dressing room between halves, just bubbling. But I was all right. I didn't hit the line.

I ran the ends and threw forward passes." i East Aurora still remembers how he ran the ends and threw forward passes. He didn't lose any time opening the eyes of those Western giants. The visitors fumbled the kick-oft and Crovat threw a pass for a touchdown 20 seconds aiter the start of the game. Afterward he took a kick-off himself and ran it back 90 yards for another touchdown. Hamilton Institute won the game, 13 12.

"That was tlie toughest football game I was ever In," Crovat makes no secret of his confession. "I was quarterbati at Colgate trie next fad, but I didn't meet anybody like those East Aurora babies." THE NIGHT HE CHECKED BAKER Lamie Crovat, however, has never asked weight or age from anybody. When he was 13 years old ho was a full-fledged hockey player In the old Amateur Hockey League, crosschecking such aces as the two Cleg-horns Sprague and Odie and Hobie Baker. One night he checked Baker behind the case at the St. Nicholas Rink and was hissed right out of the building.

It was the only time Baker was ever hurt. "Baker was the popular hero," Crovat explaa ythy tha crowd Miami, Feb. 18 UP) It's the same old moon, the same old palms and the same arena with improve-mens and a new location, but it is a different show with new words and music for the second annual battle of Miami. A good deal of the melodrama of 1929 is missing. Tex Rickard is just a memory now and so are most of his time-honored methods.

No individual is cutting the glamorous figure that Jack Dempsey did in putting over last year's winter heavyweight carnival. In short, the fantusy and novelty that preceded the Sharkey-Stribling fight is completely absent. It is strictly a fight show and a busmess proposition this winter minus sentimental appeal. It is a bisger show, from the standpoint of actual tonnage displacement of the particpants, exclusive of the battle royal that opened the 1929 festival. Whether it is a better show, from a competitive angle, remains to be determined by actual events in the ding.

Financially, the venture is already "off the nut," the experts say, translation of which is that sufficient "gate" already is in hand to assure a profit. The advance sale was around $175,000 today, not quite up to last year's mark with nine davs to go before the ring fest Feb. 27, but enough to warrant the predic tion that the receipts will reaen S350.0UO. Last winter the total was slightly in excess of $400,000.

mail, the United States Lawn Tennis Association will be a truly national organization throughout 1930, says Its newly elected president, Louis B. Dailey. This dynamic, dark-eyed New York real estate man of 55, who was elected at St. Louis Saturday, already has found a way to see that every corner of the country has its sny on important tennis questions while be is in office. Largely through Mr.

Daiiey's efforts a provision was adopted which permits a mail vote. Its effects, he believes, will be far-reaching and the association no longer will be accused of being dominated by a New York or eastern seaboard group. "In previous years when a matter of Importance arose," he pointed out. "tho enure committee, of course, was summoned but the members rrom other flections of the country could not often make the long trip. "The result was that, when the meeting was called there would be sut or seven present from New York, a couple from Philadelphia, a couple from Boston and maybe one frum 'Washington.

"As long as I am president every matter of importance will be referred to a mail vote and every member throughout the (an (rlAper) Again ALL SPORTS LOOKED ALIKE TO ANSON Adrian C. Anson, first baseman and captain of the old Chicago team in the 80s and one of the finest batters of his time, was ako a great cricketer. In addition lie was well up among the topnoteh bowlers and played both American and Rugby football. At trapshooting he competed with the champions and when mure than 40 years of age tackled long distance running. HU closing sport was golf.

Thus he ran a gamut of sport activities scarcely ever duplicated. Colh'ge Basketball Yale. 31; Dartmouth. -0. SI.
