Track Title; Girls Set Two Records on Track Hagen Ryder Cup Team Captain Football, Golf, Racing: Athletics, Swimming Boxing, Other Sports The Women Have a New Set of Champions Dot Lyford, Nan Gindele Star as Team Honors Go To Illinois Girls Club Track Stars Finishing Inches Apart Collapse After Crossing Tape By GEORGE CTRRIE By the thin margin of collapsing through the tape first. Gene Vcnzke, last night at the National A.

A. U. championships in Madison Square Garden, won a sweet revenge from his 1933 hoodoo. Glen Cunningham, of Kansas University, by winning the title in 3:55.2. He had not hit the floor before Cunningham was pitching, face down, to the track, beside him.

For two laps they had fought shoulder to shoulder, giving each other enough punishment to pop anybody's cork, after Cunningham had taken an early lead away from the holder of the world's record of 4:10 for By GEORGE CURRIE The new world's records were entered upon the record books and seve nout eight of the events of the national womn's Indoor track and field championships furnished new title holders yesterday afternoon in Madison Square Garden. Dot Lyford of the Boston Swimming Association bettered her own world's record, made last year in the standing broad Jump, by 9-16 inch, leaping over the neatly raked dirt of the Jumping pit, 8 feet 6 3-4 inches. And as the shades of dusk were falling fast and empty seats yawned down upon her, the graceful brown-haired Nan Gindele of the Illinois Women's in I (4 fcJ wii ii.ii. mil iim nun rni y-r .1 the mile. On the Eighth Avenue turn of the bell lap however, Cunningham, constantly pressing Vcnzke, who had forced his way to the front collided with Gene's foot, lost stride and four yards.

As they straightened into the stretch there began a battle such as brought the capacity crowd of 15,000 howling and screaming to its feet. Inch by inch and foot by foot, Cunningham bit into the lead lie had surrendered to his rival but by this time Vcnzke was making his supreme effort to shake ofT the man who they said had the Indian sign on htm. He staggered a yard from. Sexton, the New York A. Olympic shotput king.

In the center is the Newark Athletic Club's speedy quartet, after winning the 400 meter relay event. The young lady poised perilously on her toes is Miss Dorothy Lyford of Boston ready for her leap to a new world record broad jump. The fair sex had their own national A. A. U.

championship meet yesterday at Madison Square Garden and installed a new set of champions. Above, on the left, is Miss Rena McDonald of Dedham, who retained her shotput title. The champion is being congratulated by Leo Dutra, Runyan Newcomers on Cup Golf Team Sarazen, Wood, Dudley, Shute, Diegel, Smith Also in Ryder Group Walter Hagen has been selected captain of the 1933 American Ryder Cup golf team for the biennial matches with Great Britain.

Quint Takes Measure Of NYU 38,21 Dodgers Miami-Bound, Scrambling for Places In Carey's New Pattern By THOMAS HOLMES Staff Correspondent of The Eagle Jacksonville, Feb. 26 For the past few days every train from the North, the West and from around the Gulf has been bringing young men into the railroad depot here.

Lean, eager young men, eyes alight with dreamy anticipation, spend a few minutes inhaling fresh orangeade at the soda fountain. Slightly older, heavier young men stride out on the sidewalk and stretch muscles stiffened by a Winder's Kibernation in the full strength of the Florida sun. There is a clock in the railroad station here but no prominently displayed calendar. However, you can't fool the lounging spectators who watch the Collins Job Big In Rebuilding Boston Red Sox Bob Qhiiim Left Little in the vay of Players to CI nh's New Owners By HAROLD C. Rl'RR From Boston comes the story that Bob Quinn has at last sold the Red Sox to Eddie Collins and Thomas A.

Yawkey. the latter a New York millionaire, and the news marks the end of a tragedy too. Baseball has battered Qumn. He has been disappointed in players and managers, one of the club secretaries took his own life, Big Ed Morris, ace of his pitchers, was killed in a brawl, his stands burned down, and year after year the weak Red Sox were softened up right at the beginning of the season by the merciless Yanks, Athletics and Senators. The American League had to stand by and watch Quinn take it on his iron little chin, holding that every club had to work out its own problems to keep its individuality and so that the cry of syndicate ball couldn't be raised.

Quinn would sit in his empty grandstand of a warm Summer afternoon and stare around dully at the soaLs, all folded back and waiting for the customers that never came. Always Larked Dayers "I've got the stands and the public waiting to make me rich," the owner of all that hollowncss would Bay lugubriously. "But I haven't got the handful of players I need to put it over. It's maddening." The miracle is that he kept the Red Sox out of the banks. But this fighting Irishman held the confidence of all Boston.

It's been said of him that his face was his collateral. Now the fight's over and he passes on his troubles to Yawkey and Col lins, probably chiefly Yawkey. Not much Is known about Yawkey here except that he's a Yale graduate and at one time his father was owner of the Detroit Tigers. But he must have bankroll with the rubber band easy to snap. Col.

Jake Rup- pert spent upwards of (1,000,000 on players alone before he got any re- suits with the Yankees. Then, too, building a ball club requires or- ganizlng brains, the installation of a scouting system. MrManus May Manage At first blush and w'1" wouldn't blush at buying the Red Sox? It was thought that Eddie Collins might be made manager, succeeding Marty McManus. But Quinn had no knowledge of any such proviso. Collins Is said to favor McManus and it's thought that he's going to attend strictly to the business end of baseball hereafter.

He had one experience managing the White Sox and it didn't turn out any too well. It was thought Collins would succeed Connie Mack when the ancient of the A's laid aside his dugout scorecard. But Eddie has been thrifty and doubtless likes buying Into a club better than life on the bench. He had more than 20 years of it as a player, a clmrtcr member of the famous $100,000 Infield of the old Athletics, afterward being sold to the White Sox for $50,000 alone. A.

spun around behind the basketball throw foul line, to send the tan ball twirling through the air 101 ft. 6 thereby breaking Carolyn Dieckman's world record by 1 ft. in. Miss Dieckman, competing from Elizabeth, N. placed third, behind Lillian Tresselt of Arnold College, New Haven who was almost four feet In back of the winner.

Only one girl was able to hold on to a title won in 1932. Rene Mac-Donald Dedham, again took tlS eight-pound shotput, with a toss of 37 feet 10 Inches. But if she was the strong girl of the meet, Annette J. Rogers, 19, pretty and dark-skinned, wearing the colors of the Illinois Women's A. was the "iron man," winning the 200-meter run, the high Jump and running anchor leg, to hold fourth place for her club after a teammate had lost the lead earlier in the 400-meter relay by dropping the baton.

NEWARK RELAY SETS RECORD The Newark Women's Club relay team, composed of Alice Monk, Pearl Young, Nellie Sharka and Catherine Capp, turned in 50 4-5 seconds for the 400 meters stick-passing contest, which beat the world's record time for the 440-relay, set by the Canadian team in 1932, at 51 1-5 seconds. With this moral victory the championship relay was run in meters yesterday for the first time the Newark irls obtained the added, satisfaction of establishing a record for the new event. Team honors among the 20 clubs, colleges and schools entered went to the Illinois Women's A. which had 28'i points. The Boston Swimming Association was second with 12; Newark Women's A.

third: with HH; Silverwood Lakeside Club of Toronto, Canada, fourth, with 8, and the Dragon Club of Brooklyn, fifth, with 5. Pearl Young won the 50-meter dash, dethroning Mary Carew of the Medford (Mass.) Girls Club, in a blinding drive that just barely nipped the surprised and defeated title holder at the tape. Miss Young turned in what will be the new record time of 6 4-5 seconds in her trial, qutrter-final, semifinal and final heats. The second champfon to fall from her throne was Nellie Sharka, of the Newark Women's A. who lost her title tripping over a hurdle In a race in which she wasn't leading.

Mrs. Evelyn Hall of the U. S. Olympic team, who almost ran a dead heat with Babe Dedrlkson at Los Angeles last Summer, hopping over the sticks, became champion with a margin of two yards, in 7 3-5 seconds. MISS ROGERS DOUBLE WINNER The running high jump produced keen competition, and Miss Rogers had to do 5 feet 1 1-16 inch to win.

Florence Anderson of Michigan Normal, was only an inch behind her, and Alice Arden of the Brooklyn Dragon Club took third place with a bandaged ankle, spratned while practicing. Miss Rogers captured the 200-meter run with .10 yards to spare, early taking the lead and increasing It ail the way around the thunder-Please Turn to Page Pennock Permitted To Report Week Late When the Yankees assemble lor their first workout Wednesday at Miller Huggins Field in St. Petersburg a slim and veteran southpaw will be among the temporarily missing.

Cunningham's mo mentum carried him sliding on his chest a yard further. An ear-splitting din of exploding emotion from, the tightly packed banks of track: fans greeted their homeric drop to the boards and set an indoor world record for noise from the customers.

PACE RUINS PLAN OF CUNNINGHAM Cunningham led at the quarter, which he turned In in 58.4 seconds, Erik Ny, of Sweden, led at the half. In 2:04.4 minutes, but failed to finish. Venzke was ahead by the mar. gin of one shoulder and half an elbow at the three quarters, which he passed in 3.09.3. As they passed the halfway mark it was announced that Cunningham would carry on to the mile, to try to lower Venzkc's 4.10 world mark.

But he had laid his plans without counting on the stride for stride and shoulder to shoulder battle he was to be fighting Just to finish the shorter run. Not since Jole Ray used to chase Paavo Nurmt around the old Garden track have a pair of athletes left a full house of track followers so hoarse, weak and limp from excitement. The team championship was defended successfully by the Y. A. C.

with 33 points, Pennsylvania and N. Y. U. tying for second place with, 16 each, and Boston winding up in fourth place.

"Can't fool us," their inquisitive eyes seem to say, "Spring Is here and those guys are ball players." So many ball players have dropped off at the Jacksonville station for a slug of orangeade or a sniff of the Southern sunshine in the last ten years, that the breed is no -curiosity to the citizens.

Most of them came down here from Georgia anyway and at the slightest hint of baseball lapse into a dreamy recital of the glory that was Tyrus Raymond Cobb's. But they seem to stir uneasily at the suggestion of coming Fpring Just the same. IT'S THE GATEWAY FOR MOST OF THEM Jacksonville Is rightly named the gateway of Florida. Each Spring It is the portal through which a majority of big league ball players pass through on the way to a Spring training camp. It is the Jumping-off place for the Florida West Coast where for the last ten year3 the Brooklyn Dodgers have put In their Spring training licks at Clearwater.

But this year, the Dodgers are sweeping right straight south, down the eastern shore of the self-styled golden peninsula, winding up at famed Miami. A few minor league clubs have trained at Miami at one time or another but a major league club has not used it as a Spring training base for almost 20 years. Miami wasn't Miami in those days. "Look at that corner lot," moaned Rabbit Maranville to me a couple of Springs ago. "When I was down here with the Braves In 1916, a guy wanted to sell me that corner for $500 and I ducked him by telling him to meet me there when the tide came in." On the corner lot now is a 16- ON THE JOB Max Carey is riht in there ready to whip the Brooklyn Dodders into shape for their drive for the '33 National League pennant.

From the stories that have drifted up from Miami all Winter the Dodgers have received a very good break.

BURR Like the wise little bird that Shops for its Worms early the basketball team of City College, claimants of the metropolitan floor title, defeated N.

Y. U. in the big drill shed of the 102d Engineers Armory last night, 3823. Coach Nat Holman's bewildering passers rang up eight points in the first half before the Violets bloomed at all, and almost repeated in the second session with seven points in a like row. It was the last game of the season for both teams and the boys made a rough fare-well party of it.

Moe Goldman and Jimmy Lancaster re sorted to fist play in the first half under the basket, and the players went after one another instead of the ball. In all 40 fouls were called by the officials. That was the only way N. Y. U.

could score In the final stanza, the guarding of the Lavender being too close for elbow room. City College led at half time. 21 14, and the 3.500 spectators leaned back relaxed, sure of the flml outcome. Captain oMe Spahn was the high man for the winners wuh 11 points opposite his name on the score sheet. The other captain, Sam Potter, clicked with seven points.

Toward the end of the game City flooded the floor with substitutes. The victory gives the lads from Convent Ave. nine wins in the 19 games the two schools have played together, N. Y. U.

holding a one game margin. N. Y. U. had some slight consolation for the evening effort, their freshman edging past the City Jay-vees composed exclusively of yearlings also in a tight game that went five mimitcs into the overtime.

Nat Machlowltz broke the dendlock with a floor goal and a foul and the youthful Violets ran off the floor with a 3632 triumph. CHIP OF BLOCK Thomas A. Yawkey, New York millionaire, who, with Eddie Collins, baseball star of former days and recently assistant to Connie Mack of the Athletics, has purchased the Boston Red Sox from Bob Quinn and associates. Yawkey Is a son of the former owner ci the Detroit figci. from his Winter headquarters, Sebring, after acting with the other members the executive committee of the P.

G. A. The committee, he explained, was aided by the advisory vote of the president of each of the 25 sectional groups making up the national association.

Farrell Omitted The selections, based largely on performances within the past year, contained few surprises except possibly in the omission of Johnny Farrell, former national open champion, who was a member of the last three Ryder Cup teams, in 1927, 1929 and 1931. Of the team that decisively defeated the British at Columbus, Ohio, two years ago, Wiffy Cox, Bill Burke and Al Espinosa also are missing. The three veterans of the 1933 squad are Hagen, who has been on every team since the cup matches first were played abroad in 1926? Sarazen and Diegel, each of whom played on the last three teams. Dudley and Smith were members of the 1929 team. Dudley lost in a playoff for the last position in the 1931 lineup.

Wood and Shute had their first international cup experience in the 1931 matches. On the basis of previous records, the British may be favored to win. The home team has been victorious in each of the four contests, the British in 1926 and 1929, the United States in 1927 and 1931. State Swim Crown rn mi j.u iawrencevme Trenton, N. Feb.
