M2 BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1933 Flowers Pins His Faith on Babe Phelps as a Pitcher for the Dodgers 24 The New Ed Hughes Welterweight King In The Earfe 25 Years A no to. Jake Has Hunch That Brooklyn Will Be Up in Race for Pennant By THOMAS HOLMES Jake Flowers, the fugitive from the St. Louis chain store who is once more a Dodger, popped In for a few minutes before stepping aboard a Miami-bound steamer. Mr. Flowers is so delfghted to be back with Brooklyn that he cannot stay away from these parts.

This is the third time he has been here since he was traded to the Dodgers with Owen Carroll for Dazzy Vance and Gordon Slade a coupl of weeks ago. Jake lives on Maryland's eastern shore.

The new champion is an Italian, his correct moniker being Raffaele Giordano.

Pacific Coast knuckle-workers evidently mean to do their bit in preserving the Corbett name in Fis-tiana. Jim Corbett, of course, was the original, and it was the late "Gentleman Jim's" fame that planted the "Young Corbett" fistic tree. The original copyist of the celebrated cognomen was a coast welterweight whose correct name was George Green. This latter scrapper started at about the time Jim Corbett was dazzling that New Orleans ringside at the expense of John L. Sullivan.

Green called himself "Young Corbett," and he was something of a credit to the illustrious name he had appropriated. The first "Young Corbett" was a real near-champion. He beat such as Danny Needham, Owen Zeigler, Tom Tracy and "Mysterious Billy" Smith, previously and again later the welterweight champion. It took such as Joe Walcott and Tommy Ryan 18 rounds to put a stop to Mr. Green's royal pretensions.

As the late Jim Corbett had a reputation for picking losers, it is interesting to note that fighters borrowing his name fortunately had the winning habit. The second of the 'Young Corbetts" became almost as illustrious as Jim himself. He was a self-reliant, steel-eyed youngster Willie Rothwell of Denver. Willie came out of the West," unheralded and unsung, to flatten the redoubtable featherweight champion, "Terrible Terry" McGovern. 35' tffca.

It was not entirely their fault, for the Crimson defense astonished those who had seen the other games between the two teams by worrying away at the Tiger's attempts to form a down-ice drive with skillful mid-ice poke checks that left whoever finally broke loose to be gathered in by the defense men and driven into the corners.

This tempted Princeton to try long shots. And their's was the fate of the long shot in hockey. At that, their first goal came from one of these, with the puck wobbling on one edge and hopping over De Give's fat stick. ODonnel Risks All for Victory Barney O'Donnell risked injury to win for the Squadron polo trio yesterday in the last minute of play, and, although he was thrown from his horse and carried off the playing floor unconscious, the knowledge that his goal had won the game from the Ridgewood Riding Club, 7 to at the 105th Field Artillery Armory, was enough to compensate for the risk.

Old Nassau did a thorough me. There was even a gathering of jcb in demonstrating that in games alumni in the morning and a presen-won on paper there is no such thing 1 taiion on his 21st birthday of the condition which Is responsible for the restless Flowers spirit and the strong urge to be up and away. When Jake was with the Dodgers before, he was a pretty frail Individual who looked as though he might be pushed over by a good strong wind.

Now he has filled out ten pounds or so, he looks rested and strong. He may stay that way when far from the searing mid-Summer heat of St. Louis. FLOWERS' VIEW OF DODGERS' CHANCES But it was not of himself that Flowers talked, but the Dodgers and their chances to be In the thick of the pennant fight. Jake believes that the Brooklyn team will be very much among those present in ths pennant race.

"Brooklyn has the team and ths punch if it can get the pitching." is the Flowers opinion which coin cides pretty much with other opinions hitherto expressed. "And so far as pitching is concerned, you can bet on Clarkie. If one or two other flingers come up with a good year, the Cubs and the Cardinals and he Pirates will find plenty ot trouble In this quarter. "Do you know my hunch bet regarding pitchers for this year?" Flowers asked. The answer to which was no.

STILL TO PHELPS "Babe Phelps," said the Mary-lander. "I'm not inclined to give up on that fe'ow yet. It Isn't in the books that as good a pitcher as. he was In 1930 should have got all the ability out of his system In that one season. "Don't you go telling people that Phelps had nothing except a funny-looking motion.

He- was one of the toughest pitchers to hit, in 1930 that I ever saw. He had plenty of stuff, speed, a back-breaking curv, control and coolness. I hated to try to hit against him even in batting practice. "Phelps won 14 games and lost seven that year. With a little better luck, he could have won about 18 and lost only or four.

And it's my guess that the big fellow still has that kind of ability and. just hasn't been able to get started in the last two years. If he regains his confidence at the start of the season, he might sail right through the league." PHELPS' HAS BEEN PUZZLE Most of the boys have forgotten that Phelps is still with the ball club. He is, and it might be well to file the Flowers hunch away under the possibilities for 1933. Jake's opinion of the big righthander from Alabama is generally shared by other Brooklyn bail players.

They have never thoroughly understood just what happened to the lumbering Southerner. He started 1931 fairly well and pitched good ball for about six weeks. Then suddenly, he couldn't get anybody out, In my own opinion, Wilbert Robinson didn't help matters along by exercising hij theory that Phelps was not getting enough work. Robbie started Phelps every three or four days althougn Babe was immediately knocked baclc into his manager's lap on the vast majority of the occasions. That is only a figure of speech.

Wilbert Robinson did not have a lap, SELF-CONFIDENCE -WAS DESTROYED In one stretch of the season, Phelps was knocked out in ten straight starts. He then pitched and lost a complete game. Then he was knocked out ten more times in succession. In 23 starts in 1931 Phelp3 went thn rnnr. three times.

He finished the season with his self-tonfidence utterly destroyed Whether a real rest while things were breaking badly for him would have helped him is, of course, pure guess work. Again last season Babe started pretty well. He showed signs of lost confidence in his first game by exhibiting spells of wildness the like of which he never had suffered in 1930. When he won nevertheless, It heartened him for a while. Eventually the bumps began to come his way, he lost effectiveness and, late In the season, was shipped to Minneapolis.

By this time, Phelps couldn't pitch hay. He was knocked out of the box in three American Association starts and shipped back to. Max Carey. You can't get wildly excited nbout the chances of Phelps, but he might be worth a long-shot bet. Most of the boys agree that' he has the stuff if It can be brought out.

There are stories that big Babe exhibiting new ambition this Spring, that he hns been nt Miami working out daily for two weeks. The lumbering right-hander waa married last Winter. That may make a difference in his ambition and his career. 1 Today in Sports n' HI THAI t. Cnluntbfa 'learherH ollrir at t'nlnn Temple.

Illinois Drops OntofNi.A. Chicago, Feb. 23 (IP) The Illinois State Athletic Commission, otiie cne of the key members of the National Boxing Association, apparently has decided to go its wey alone. It did not become known until yesterday that Illinois has not been a member of the N. B.

A. since Dec. 13 last. At that time Gen. John V.

Clinnin, then chairman of commission, mailed the resignation of his group to James tBingnt Brown of chair man of the Michigan commission, and president of the N. B. A.

was said to be concerned over the withdrawal of the "lit! straightened out. Those Syndicate Champs IP YOUNG CORBETT 3d is anything like Mr. Green and Mr. Rothwell when they were in the slugging then he should be a pretty good champion. Beating Mr.

Fields doesn't mean too much. Mr Fields, of late years, has belonged to a clique of managers who have passed the welterweight title about rather loosely, though always to their financial benefit. The crown has been juggled about amongst Fields, Young Jack Thompson, Tommy Freeman and Lou Brouillard with amazing deftness. The "smart" rotation of the bauble practically killed all decent interest in the class. Mr Fields and his manager.

Jack Kearns, received some $30,000 for the pain of the vanished title, but that needn't indict Corbett as just another syndicate champion. Corbett appears to be the better fighter, anyhow, having whipped Fields in a rontltular fight three years ago. Still, it would be well for Corbett to step out and demonstrate that he is a real champion or the first thing you know Fields will be "winning" that title back again Fields has done this before. Jackie, after excusing himself as champion in a bout with Young Jack Thompson, later "came back and beat Lou Brouillard. Mr.

Brouillard, in the meantime, had "beaten Thompson. It was a lively ana Imaginative syndicate. Bring Him On! CORBETT is the second lefthander to become welterweight champion, Brouillard also being a portsider. 'lne rres.no been boxing about eight years and has been rated championship caliber for a long while. Corbett appeared in Gotham several years ago following a thunderous ballyhoo from the Coast.

Although he looked likf a pretty gocd fighter, Corbett failed to make much of an impression and left abruptly for California. He hasn't been back since. His best performances have been the two defeats of Fields, a walloping to Young Jack Thompson and a one-round kayo of Farmer Joe Cooper. New York may be a jinx town for Corbett. It acts that way on some fighters.

Field, a good boxer when right, could never "get going" in the Garden. Corbett declared the New York weather affected his fighting form. Nevertheless, the Garden is now the spot for him. A championship fight between Corbett and Jimmy McLarnin or Billy Pctrolle would pack them in.

With new flying start records for one kilometer, one mile and five kilometers to top more than a quarter of a century of thrilling racing and narrow escapes on the roaring road, th 48-year-old Britisher now wants to try for new standing start marks for one kilometer and one mile. Whether he makes any more speed trials now, or decides to sail for England shortly, will depend, he said, upon how soon he recovers from an injured left arm, sprained while making repairs to his giant Bluebird racing car a week ago. Steered With One Hand Throughout his two runs for the three new flying start records yes terday, Campbell steered the hur tling machine most of the way over a nine mile stretch of bumpy beach, with only one hand. Afterward, he described his experience as "the worst ride I ever had in my life. Returning to his hotel immediately after establishing the new marks, Campbell was compelled to summon a physician to treat his arm and bandage it.

In making his thunderous runs over the hard-packed sands yesterday Campbell gathered in new records of 272.4C3 miles an hour over one kilometer, 272.108 over a mile and 257.295 over five kilometers to bring to five the number of world land speed records he possesses. He already holds the record of 242.751 over five miles and 238.6G9 over 10 kilometers. A kilometer is approximately five-eighths of a mile. Previous Times Campbell's previous records for the first distances were 251.340 for one kilometer, 253.968 for one mue ana ii "vc hiiuuicu-ij. In establishing a new mark for the measured mile, the racer covered the distance for an average elapsed time on both runs of 13.30 seconds, His previous mile record was 14.17 seconds.

Pell has dominated the (sport like no olhvx figure.
