Vahile vllrfr' V-TVw The Golden Gloves Spectacle NEW YORK'S Golden Glove boxers whipped their Chicago rivals nine matches to seven in the Garden last night in a setting that must have popped the eyes of Madison Square Garden big wigs who have money tied up in professional bashing. The amphitheater was sold out a week ago and every ticket holder was in his place 19,467 strong and representing a gate of $45,548.77.

rubbed elbows with celebrities of the stage and screen, powerful and petty politicians, just plain citizens and the assorted riff-raff that always fringe the boxing pit. It was an event. Everybody worth while as well as worthless seemed to be there. The Golden Gloves tournament in acknowledgment creates special dramatics and spectacular features for tie occasion. There are ingenious lighting effects with the Belasco touch, and trumpetings that suggest an ancient Greek pageant, not a slugging Jamboree, is to be presented.

Frey's name does not appear in the lineup which will face the Giants today, however. This fact emphasizes that Stengel's plans for speeding up his ball club and getting the most effectiveness out of what base hits the Brooklyn batting order does generate, extend further than the revised lineup he presented today.

March 29 Another consistent round of golf netted Henry Picard subpar results and the young pro from Charleston, S. went into the lead in the North and South open golf championship at the midway stage here yesterday. Picard turned in a card of 68. which added to his earlier total of 69 gave him 137. Bill Mehlhorn was dropped to second when his poor score of 72 totaled with 67 gave him 139.

Mortie Dutra turned in the best score of the tournament when he shot a 67 to bring his score to 139 and gain a tie with Mehlhorn. George T. Dunlap Jr. and Tommy Armour are right behind with 141, while WiiTy Cox had no better than 73 for 142. Augusta.

Louis Cardinals. We must learn to play together," said Frisch the other day down at Bradenton, "and the best way is to play nine innings each day." Frisch knows his men and has Passing of YTeteran, Through Broken Leg on Field of Battle, Real Tragedy-Was Fighting Player of the Old School By HAROLD C. BURR A little man of leather writhing on the ground at the home plate, the big Yankee catcher towering over him an-x-iously, the players of both teams rushing up, staring at the horribly twisted left leg', grotesquely sticking out where it was broken between the knee and ankle. And the dust of conflict slowly '''and wet weather kept the boys in tne hotel lobby all day yesterday. Manager Casey, still hopeful of making a trade ere the club emerges into the North, is keeping some of the regulars on the Job day after day to keep their value up on the ivory market.

But the lineup he is using today makes con-, cessions to several of these veterans' weaknesses by dropping them a few notches. MAY CONVERT FREY INTO OUTFIELDER Each passing workout makes it increasingly hard to see how baby-faced Frey, the' 22-year-old star, can be kept out of the lineup during the league race. If his present erratic throwing continues he will be made into an outfielder. Frey hit .319 against big-league pitching last year, and he is going at a .500 clip this Spring. "Left-handed, the kid is not so good a hitter as Paul Waner, but better than Lloyd," explained shrewd old "Case." "Frey Is a better base runner than either of them.

And as a tagger on close plays at the bags he has no superiors in the league." Cpntlnulng to sum up the St, Louis boy's value to the team, Stengel rated him as the second best burner and "dragger" on the club. Stripp rates first in this respect. TAYLOR LEADS KOENECKE IN REVISED LINEUP Stengel says the place for Sam Leslie and Tony Cuccinello, who batted fifth and sixth last year, is farther down. He figures their punch is what should drive in the boys up top who get on base. The revised lineup has Koenecke and Taylor, the outfielders, switching places.

Koenecke will bat first because Stengel says he looks over a lot of balls, should get on base, and the change of spot may do him good. Taylor has been moved down to fifth because the lead off position, with the worry of getting on base, may have handicapped the Penn-sylvanian. JORDAN IS MOVED INTO SECOND PLACE Completing the lineup, Stengel has moved speedy little Jimmy Jordan up to No. 2. pushing the slower men down.

Frederick, more of threat to drive in runs now that he is "pull" hitting to right field, is at No. 4. Casey, commenting on how necessary speed was to a winning ball club, estimated that only one "slow" ball club can be found in every 25 pennant winners. The last two Dodger flag winners, in 1916 and 1920, with heavy-footed gents like Mike Mowry, Ed Konctchy and Otto Miller, were rarities of this sort.

Frankie argues, I'Whafs the use of breaking up my team play to give youngsters a chance when we know they won't be with us after May 15. I'll use a pinch hitter when necessary and I'll divide the pitching work, sure. But otherwise my regulars will do a full day's labor from now on." Most managers are not this frank about their material so early in the training period, but Frisch believes this concentration on the regulars will give him his pennant team. Ripper Collins at first, Frisch at second, Leo Durocher at short and Pepper Martin at third will do nine innings a day in the exhibition games, while Virgil Davis and Bill De Lancey will alternate behind the plate. Frisch will also cut down on the number of pitchers, only two hurling each day, unless somebody Is knocked out or injured.

In the outfield George Davis, recently obtained from the Giants, will be in center, while Joe Med-wick is a fixture in left field. Johnny Rothrock has apparently won the Job in right, while Buster Mills and Gene Moore are worthy replacements for garden positions. While the trial of Lou Berger as a second baseman occupied the Cleveland Indians, one of the forgotten men was Willie Kamm, the erst-" while $101,000 ball player who was benched while Odell (Bad News) Hale took his place at third. Hale had been moved from second to give Berger his trial. Kamm, who set a world's defensive record last season with an average of .984, didnt say anything while the experiment was on, but seemed content to be a utility in-flelder.

Yesterday they went through the formality of taking over the Buffalo International League champions again, 5 1, and checked into this midland town in the mists of the morning. Today the champions of the world play the Dodgers again to see what Casey Stengel has done to improve the baseball breed in Flatbush, and then journey on to Nashville for their last warm up before picking up the Cleveland Indians for the big joint circus. It's going to be a winding traU to the Polo Grounds with stopovers.

Manager Bill Terry has booked the Nashville club for a game at Dothan, where he broke into pro ball, then the boys double back to New Orleans for the start of the big Indian series of 14 games that's only interrupted once at Memphis, Bills home town. Freddy Fitzsimmons and Joe Bowman worked the getaway game, and hung horsecollars on the Bisons for eight innings. Then Bud Clancy was allowed to gallop around the paths in the ninth without drawing a throw from the Giant catcher and Ollie Tucker batted him home. It was goose eggs in the Giants' pockets, too, until the fifth when Travis Jackson ran out a home run in the playing field, proving that tne old Knees must have very few creaks left In 'em.

Now that what was touted before the Stanley Cup playoffs as the best hockey team in the world has hit its rink stride with that 5 1 triumph last night over the Red Wings, things are looking up for Connie. All danger of his running the- dasher fence is practically passed. The withering Leafs drove down on Wilne Cude and gave the kid goalie a dazzling taste of flying rubber, easily outskating the boys in the red underwear suits. Joe Primeau, the kid forward, lit two red lights and the wicked Charlie Conacher and Charlie Sands one each, which was plenty. Hawks Flying High Montreal, March 29 The Chicago Black Hawks are flying toward the Stanley Cup finals this morning as a result of their three-point mar gin over the Maroons at the Forum here last night in the first night's play in their home-and home series.

Loose defensive work gave the Hawks a winning edge. Doc Romnes was left uncovered in the first period and Paul Thompson picked up a loose puck In the third session.

March 29 There's nothing phony about the feud between Jimmy Wilson, manager of the Phillies, and Frank Frisch, boss of the Cards, who were roomies for six years on the St.

Louis club. This all happened at Bradenton, recently. A local newspaperman approached Wilson and asked him what he thought of the Cards' chances. "They'll finish in the first division In spite of Frisch," said he. "B-but, Mr.

Wilson." stammered the scribe. "I can't print that; it isn't diplomatic!" "I can't help that snapped Wilson. "That's how I feel." And Jimmy Said it all over again for the benefit of the Brooklyn newspapermen when the Dodgers faced the Phils last week. "I with Frisch for six years." he said. "As soon as he was made manager he was out to get me.
