George finds that conditions have materially changed since he excelled on the court for the Orange and Black. No longer do boys attend the institution from sections that were known as the cradles of basketball stars. Such individuals were wise in the ways of the game and it took little grooming to bring their talents to the surface. Now the over 100 games for the Boston club last year and hit .285 A.

MURPHY THERE IS NO need for alarm among the schoolboy track cohorts relative to them being permanently barred from training at the 13th Regiment Armory. For several days the youngsters have been prevented from mobilizing at their favorite conditioning rendezvous. The reason was that the C. W.

A. registration was going on in the big drill shed. As soon as the work is completed the boys will again have the use of the armory. ABE (PRIMO) SIMOX, Herculean southpaw shot putter of John Adams High School, who won the 16-pound missile-tossing event at the Columbus Council, Knights of Columbus meet last Saturday night, will be ineligible for the P. S.

A. L. championships in March. A week before the titular games he will have reached his 21st birthday. It is a crushing blow to Joe Scarlata, head of the Health Education department of the school, as he saw in his protege a sure winner of the event since he is a vastly improved performer over last year when he placed consistently.

Simon also was a combination tackle and back with the football team. FRANK E. GAEBELEIN, head master of Stony Brook School, an nounced today that the Bruce F. Vanderveer Memorial Trophy, had been awarded John F. Gllmartin of East Hampton, L.

fullback and leading scorer of Suffolk County. The trophy was presented to the school by his parents to perpetuate the memory of the late "Bud" Vanderveer, a former student and prominent yachtsman, who was killed in an automobile accident two years ago while returning from the Six Meter races in which he was competing. The award goes annually to the football player showing the best sportsmanship and ability during the season. DAN FERRIS, national has announced that the proposed Eastern interscholastlc track and field championship, under the auspices of the Metropolitan A. A.

IT IS NOT generally known that Val Riordan, former crack quarter- miler and member of the St. Augustine's Diocesan High School sensational one-mile relay quartet, is a clever basketball player and originally turned out for the quintet.

Coach Jack Crenny had him take up cross-country running to strengthen his legs and he became such a sterling prospect that Jimmy War-burton, who was track mentor at the timfc, refused to let him return to the court.

Vines. I should have played a freer and more open game, taken my chances with control, steadi ness and sureness of range, and particularly with driving. Tilden threw the gage of battle along those lines and was eminently successful. As with Tilden, I should have utilized my age against the impetuous, headlong youth of Mr, vines. Mr.

Tilden played the corners with diabolical accuracy, and he was much the more poisonous of the two, both with the forehand and the backhand. Except in spots he was steadiness itself, a trait which I now realize is more often identified with mellowed tennis age than with fiery youth. If you'll inspect Mr. Currie's stroke analysis the match you'll discover that Vines beat himself by his own errors. So he says.

The Stroke Analysis rIESE stroke analyses, by the way, always remind me there Is no surer way of spoiling a good story than introducing a pile of heavy figures and dull facts. They are alluring- and fascinating, of course, to the technically and mathematically minded. But when they attempt to convince you that Mr. Vines "beat himself I must demur. After all, wasn't Mr.

Til den there with his magic racquet and his scheming, alert brain to lend a lively hand to Mr. Vines' "beating himself?" Mr. Vines cer tainly could have "beaten himself unless he had the sympathetic cooperation of Mr. Tilden, could he? Just as an argument on that score let me again hark back to my match with Mr. Vines.

If the stroke analysis paints Mr. Vines as beating himself, then it is also true that Mr. Vines should receive no credit for his triumph over me. beat myself. Practically every stroke I made degenerated Into an error.

Yet any one who saw that homeric struggle knows that Mr, Vines played a strong role In my downfall. He was the Incubator for my brood of errors. Just about as much as Mr. Til den was in the error-making of Mr. Vines last night.

QUINN PARTIAL BUT FINICKY It is known that Bob Qulnn, new general manager of the Dodgers, was partial all along to the idea of acquiring McManus, whom he put In charge of the Boston club when he was owner there and John Shanno Collins retired in June, 1932. Quinn, however, was finicky about bringing McManus in to Brooklyn or even suggesting him to Max Carey because of the gossip that would naturally ensue touting the American Leaguer as the Flock's next pilot, much to Carey's embarrassment and discomfiture. I.L SET IF CAREY SAYS WORD Now it appears that Carey himself has talked to McManus in St.

Louis where both are living. McManus is still a good ballplayer and the Dodger manager is anxious to come to terms. If and when Carey floes say the final word, it will probably be Quinn who swings the deal with his old manager. Both the Boston Braves and Cincinnati Reds are hot on the trail of McManus. Judge Fuchs at Boston wants the old American Leaguer for two reasons.

McManus, edged out without fair consideration by Yawkey and Collins after he had made the best possible Job of pulling the poor- Red Sox together, Is mightily popular in the Hub. Add this the fact that McManus would mal-c an ideal fill-in at second base for the aging Rabbit iiaranville and you have the answer for Boston's anxiety. McMANUS WILL NOT WANT FOR JOB MacPhail, the owner of the Reds, was considering McManus as manager for a long time. Now, despite reports to the contrary, he has definitely signed Bob O'Farrell for the Job and Cincinnati has been in touch several times with McManus since then trying to get him to sign on a player. The Reds Infield, even with Piet, Koenig, Slade and Sparky Adams, could stand a little bolstering.

McManus also is understood to have several minor league offers, one in particular at Kansas City, but chooses to remain on the big boards while he can. Even if he does not crash into the regular lineup, Marty will make even Joe Stripp at third bas and Tony 1 cuccinello. at second hustle for their Jobs if Brooklyn does acquire him.

Seth Low Defeats Polytech Quintet Long-distance shots by Felice Cilibcrti of Polytechnic and Walter Levine of Seth Low were the high spots of court game In which the Livingston St. squad last night bowed to the Maroon and Blue team, 3530.

at Odd Fellows Hall. Ciliberti sank five lengthy tosses and Levine netted four. Levine's three extra points on foul shots gave him a total of 11 for high-scoring honors. Outclassed entirely in the first period, the Polytechnic agregation failed to get under way until the Seth Low men had a decided advantage, 226. The half ended as the Blue and Gray men made it 2212.

Coming back to raly agalrT after the rest period, Coach Meinhold's men cut the Seth Low lead to five points. Stubborn fighting on both sides continued to push up the scores, but the five-point gap kept constant for the last 15 minutes of the contest.

I. A. Tlm ol kalvei ao aUuuUa. of of in do of to In fundamentals prefer to matriculate at the more modern schools with up-to-date facilities, such as Thomas Jefferson and Grover Cleveland. The antiquated facilities interfere with the proper conditioning of a team at Bushwick.

The court is entirely too small and does not measure up to the requirements of the P. S. A. with the result that the school has to play all of its home games in the Central M. E.

Church gymnasium, another handicap, making it necessary for the players to travel for all of their contests. HAS GOOD RECORD DESPITE HANDICAPS If thj Bushwick court wasn't tabooed for league games, the Orange and Black would stand an excellent chance of dethroning Thomas Jefferson, as it is well nigh Invincible on its bandbox playing area. The team Is undefeated thus Uar this year on its own floor and Newblatt does not recall the team being beaten on the court last year, although he wasn't positive on the latter score. Despite what he has to put up with, Newblatt is optimistic. He doesn't look for his charges to Vn the title, but he insists they can be counted on to make a respectable showing.

George has schooled his charges in a system of his own that is a variation of the codes used by the various master minds of the game. He never worries about the tricks rival coaches have up their collective sleeves as his motto Is to let them worry about what he has to offer. INELIGIBILITY ADDS TO COACHES' WORRIES The old bugaboo of ineligibility has crept up on Newblatt. Regardless of the mentor's practice of keeping in close touch with the other teachers to see how his players are faring In their studies and having the delinquents tutored by the more brilliant members of the squad, two of his stars have fallen by the wayside. However, they expect to be up to snuff in their classroom work next month.

When Arthur Kriesman and John Pollock remove the ban, their return to the ranks will greatly strengthen the team, as will the reappearance of Bobby Messner, who had to leave school for a spell to become a bread winner. At present the starting lineup is composed of Sam Artemchuk and Orion Gernert, forwards, with Capt. Ray Studwell at center, and Arthur Fleschner and Sal Giganti, guards. Studwell can also be pressed into service at forward if the demands require it. Kurt Schnock, Antonio (Geep) Reina and John Bazyk occupy utility roles with the team as they are capable of playing either forward or guard.

Russell Kiesling and Ted Goldstein are the co-managers of the team. Neighborhood Assn. Basketball Standing 90-LB. CLASS W. L.

He proved this at the Amateur Billiard Club last night where Joseph R. Johann, also from this side of the bridge, started his challenge for the title.

Fisher won that opening block with yards to spare, 200 to 140 in 27 innings. The contest began as Just one or those things, but the pace grew hotter as the men settled down and they began to produce mid-season form. Both were showing great consistency in scoring, and if they never rose to any great feats in the shape of runs, they at least turned in most creditable averages. Fisher had a higli run of only 20, but then his average was 7 11-27, which is plenty fast enough for this stage of the contest. Johann fared a little better, getting a high run of 26, but his average dropped to 5 5-27.

Ponzi Still Leads Despite the fact that Joe Proclta, the pride and glory of Gloversville, N. went sort of haywire in the fifth block, producing a high run of 91 that Just about settled all question of opposition in that block, Andrew Ponzi the Philadelphia flash, is still leading the handicap match at Kreuter's Capitol Academy, 533 to 426 on points. On the other hand they stand even on blocks, 6 to 6, and since this match is on the handicap basis Joe might claim some sort of moral victory. That afternoon game took Just three frames, and Procita took the bow, 100 to 41. Ponzi had a high run of 42, but scratched off so many points that his total came to less than his one run.

In the sixth block at night, Ponzi came back strong, winning 125 to 28 in four in nings. This also was a sizzling game, with Ponzi running 59, and Procita 28. The match continues until Sunday night. Next week Ponzi meets James Evans. Class Continues Play in the national Class ama teur 18.2 balkline championship tourney is scheduled to continue to night at the Manhattan room of the Lawler Academy with two more games.

Walker, one of we leaders la the 11 1 iA I George Washington's five lagged for just 45 seconds of their game with St. John's University in the DeBray gymnasium last night and it proved fatal to the Colonials, for the Redmen, playing with their first-string five intact for one of the few times during the game, utilized this three-quarters of a minute to overcome the lead and finally win out, 3230.

It was a game and a climax which typically characterizes the St. John's basketball of the past decade. That certain something which distin guishes -them from other basketball teams seems to bob up year after year in each different court com bination wnich uoacn fTee man turns out. It was in evidence last night as the Indians went into action minus the services of their star, Capt.

John's trailing, 18 12. St. John's Team Clicks With five minutes to pjay in the second half the score was knotted at 27 all. The Colonels picked up three points on a foul shot and a snappy field goal. Time out was called by St.

John's and there was another figure on the court with his head bandaged. It was Rip Kap-linsky, and once more the Indians' first team was together. Two minutes to play and two of the cripples pulled a scintillating play, Gotkin, out of position, shooting an overhand pass to McGuinness, who sunk the shot, and the gcore was 2930. Both teams battled furiously up and down the court and when the time watch read 45 seconds to play Gotkin sent his team into the lead for the first time during the game. Just before the final whistle Kaplinsky made a foul shot and then went down to the dressing room to have his forehead stitched.

and a p.m. leaves a bad taste in the fans mouths," he said. "This impression isn't easily corrected, and It is an abuse which I think is hurting baseball." MacPhail a rule barring any but player-for-player exchanges. And if one of the players in the transaction is a big star, the deal still must be made even up, although it might be necessary for the other club to throw seven or eight players into the bargain if no cash Is allowed. MacPhail was driven to say this by the large amounts of cash he has been olfered in the last few months for Chick Hafey, his star bespectacled outfielder.

The Red boss could have had $100,000 from the Braves, and almost as much from the Cubs, but he held out against cash remuneration, because he is trying to build up his ball club. MacPhail feels that the fans of Cincinnati would have deserted him if he had taken cash for Hafey, or even if he had accepted Hal Leu, Joe Mowry and $40,000, as Judge Fuchs of the Braves offered. Lee and Mowry, while good young outfielders, don't carry' bats of the caliber of Hafey's. The most recent "trades" referred to by MacPhail were both very thinly disguised as player transactions. The Phillies were concerned in both.

They were said to have gotten $75,000 cash out of the deal which sent Lee and Art Whitney, star third baseman, to Boston for Fritz Knothe, a second-rate Infielder, who soon drifted out of the majors, and Wes Schul-merich. And even the most gullible could not be fooled by the trade which sent Chuck Klein to the Cubs for Havey Hendrick, Mark Koenig, Ted Kleinhandj a pitcher, and an "unannounced sum of cash." A Grewsome Job Dick Spalding, one of the coaches named by Jimmy Wilson, new manager of the Phillies, is a Philadelphia man like his boss and at one time seemed headed for a brilliant major leag-je career. A fleet outfielder, he was spotted by Bob Shawkey, star Yankee pitcher and now manager of the Bears, when both were playing on tlie Fourth Naval Reserve nine back in the war period. Shawkey tried to get Spalding to join the Yankees in 1919, but Dick didn't want to quit his Job. Ten years later he was glad to try for a major league berth.

He broke into base ball In 1914 when he and two other Chicagoans organized the Chicago Feds in the war waged by the Federal League. Partial solution of the vexing radio problem as affecting baseball was seen by many today through the demand of the cubs that all radio stations, broadcasting Cub games, read a 25-word statement at least five times between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., advertising the game to be plaved that day at Wrigley Field. The White Sox and other major league clubs, which permit broadcasts, were expected to, follow suit.

He will handle the fragments of the Quaker mouna corps and, though a left hander and not a catcher, has brought himself a right-hand catcher's glove one of the oddities of the game to do bullpen work.

It's the third collision between the men of Toronto and Broadway, but with a difference.
