SPORT SECTION THE DETROIT FKEE PRESS SUNDAY, MARCH 6, 1938 Iruins Get Last Crack at Wings on Olympia Ice Tonight Great Michigan Athlete to Change Weapons C.Y.0. Tourney The Second Guess By W. W. Edgar- I '4 est of the lot, it might be well to cast a vote for that old battle-scarred veteran, Casey Stengel, the new keeper of the Boston Bees. Casey Must Work Miracle LAST season Casey had the laugh on all the managers i Rival Hawks Face Maroons Adams Looks Ahead to Direct Battle By Doc Hoist Art Rosa, whose frantic ambitions for three years have been ta kick the proud Red Wings out of the playoffs, will have his last chance of the seaaon to nurse his hopes at Olympia Sunday night.

Mr. Ross, who also has ambitions to give Boston another Stanley Cup, brings his Bruins into town for the last time this season. The Red Wings do not have to beat the league-leading Bostons to auy in the race for a playoff position, but a defeat certainly would cripple the Norris and Adams hopes considerably. While the Wings have the difficult task of beating Boston, Chicago has the comparatively easy tsk of maintainlne a four-point Baseball Odds Provoke Fans Doyle's 4-1 Against Tigers Ruled High Jack Doyle, Broadway betting prlcemaker, who annually makes winter baseball prices on the pennant races, has aroused a chorus of indignation and chagrin around the American League as a result of his latest quotations. Doyle, the critics contend, has let his New York sentiment override his better business judgment in setting a 3 to 5 odds-on price on the Yankees.

Many Detroiters will contend that a return to form by Schoolboy Rowe would make the Tigers, who are 4 to 1 in the winter books, stronger than the world champion. The White Sox, at 6 to 1. find no cause for complaint, but In Cleveland the 8 to 1 price on the Indians la greeted with a guffaw in the belief that any sound baseball man would sooner place a good sized wager on the Indians than on the Yanks, at that difference in odds. Boston Is Upset The loudest chorus of consternation emanates from Boston. Tha gold plated Red Sox are long shots at 60 to 1.

Last year they finished in fifth place, two games out of the first division. This winter they have been one of the few teams to trade in the big league mart, winding up with the heavy hitting Joe Vosmik. They have also collared a promising collection of pitching talent out of the minors. A few breaks, and the Red Sox may show pennant class. If that comes about, Tom Yawkey is likely to go tha limit to lift the team into perma 1 -si, A' I 1 1 vi J1 -d-' m.i i i -yrtrt I 7 JOHN TOWNSEND 'M9 to See Townsend in Last Game Monday Ace Basketball Center Will Shift to Track Team After Northwestern Battle because of a freak arrangement he was being paid more for not managing the Brooklyn Dodgers than iiurieign Grimes got for doing the work.

You see, the Dodgers, eager to get rid of Stengel, bought up his contract which still had a year to run. And Casey collected even though he didn't have to worry about his players ganging up on the base paths or whether Van Mungo walked off the field br not. In short, Casey waa sitting pretty. But things will be different this year. And here's why.

Lawt year, MeKechnle steered a nondescript ball club an aggregation that waa carried along by two aged rookies, Lou Fette and Jim Turner to fifth place. That feat was considered a modern miracle and MeKechnle was voted the pilot who turned In the beat job of the seaMon. Stengel has Inherited the same Bees. But it isn't reasonable to suppose that two thirty-year-old hurlcrs can repeat their startling performances of a year ago. It will be recalled that Fette and Turner combined their efforts for 40 victories.

That'a pitching. And there's only a slight chance of their continuing: that pace. The Point of Departure "THAT'S where Casey's job gets tough. With the material at hand, his club doesn't figure to oust any of the Big Four Giants, Cubs, Pirates and Cardinal from the first division. On the other hand, he dare not finish any lower than fifth place or he'll be scoffed at, especially by the mob that maneuvered him out of the Brooklyn post.

MCKechnle lifted the Bees to fifth place, and miracles don't happen in the same place every year. Before the summer Is over Casey may wish that he still was working on the trick agreement with the Dodgers whereby he got paid for remaining idle. And speaking of MeKechnle, It Mill he Interesting to watch his progress with the Cincinnati Keds, a team that finished a poor last just a year ago after being picked as the "dark horse" of the league. McKechnie's progress will be interesting for the simple reason that he's working along lines opposite of those employed by Chuck Dressen, deposed pilot of the Rhinelanders, in the last campaign. Little Improvement Needed ONE of the most likeable of all major league pilots, McKech-nie, according to reports from the Southland, is working on the theory that gentlemen and scholars can advance much farther in a pennant race than roughnecks and rowdies.

And what a change that will be for the Reds! Last season when they reported for spring practice, the Reds were told in no uncertain terms that they were expected to fight at the drop of the hat. "I want you to run the bases," Dressen warned them, "and woe be unto the man who doesn't go into the bases with his spikes flashing. You'll get into many a battle and you may have to fight. But that's the kind of baseball we're going to play. And what's more, we'll get some place." They did.

wound up a distant last almost out of the league. Now. MoKechnle. has changed all this and the Knls will be gentlemen from now on. Surely they won't do any worse than they did a year ago.

And that makes McKechnie's task easier. He won't have to do much to Improve over the showing of 1937. And therein he's much better off than Casey Stengel. Casey is on the spot. He can't io any better and he dare not do any worse.

Opens Monday Two Teams Favored for Ring Title Final preparations for the biggest boxing tournament in Detroit Catholic Youth Organization history are being made today. While the officials are putting the finishing touches on the arrangements, 575 of Detroit's well known amateur boxers will be polishing up on their a punches while waiting for the opening of the third annual tournament Monday night Boxers from all sections of the Archdiocese of Detroit will compete for championship honors. Teams from the suburbs of Detroit as well as Flint, Monroe, Ann Arbor, Pontiao and other nearby towns will attempt to wrest the coveted team trophy from St. Peter Claver's A.C. Two Teams Favored Holy Redeemer and Annunciation appear to be the favorites in the battle for the team trophy.

The Redeemer team includes a number of veterans. Walter Sad-owskl, and Henry Machlnskl are two middleweights who may cause the champions considerable trouble. Coach Ward Sparks has plenty of talent in the Open welterweight class. Jimmy Maloney, Ed Smigel and Charlie Wing are a trio of welters that have been around the amateur circuit for some time. Franny Mullane and Frank Smigel are two of the most popular fighters on the Redeemer squad and they'll be trying to win the featherweight and bantamweight, titles in the open division.

Led by Buddy Michel, former Golden Gloves heavyweight finalist, and John Cronln, Free Press Gloves bantam champion. Annunciation should make a strong bid for the title. Along with this pair, the East Side team has two more prospects in Al Desaulnier, a lightweight, and Frankie Cicala, flyweight. Nine Winners Back The defending champions have 24 boxers entered. Out of this number there are nine who appeared in last year's tournament.

Among those that will be seeking to retain their individual titles ate Elbert Robinson, light heavyweight; Eddie Smith, lightweight, and Edmond Wright, flyweight. Emmett Greir who was the novice junior flyweight champion last year and voted the most promising boxer in his class will fight in the open division this year. Monday night's show will be held at the Post Office Club, 3400 Gibson St. The tournament will continue Thursday night with a show at St. Casimir's Hall, Myrtle and 23rd Sts.

Oxford, Cantabs Decline Penn Bid PHILADELPHIA. March 5 Oxford and Cambridge Universities, of England, invited to participate in the forty-fourth annual University of Pennsylvania Relay Carnival April 29 and 30, will be unable to make the trip to this country. H. Jamison Swarts, manager of the meet, has been Informed by Lord Burghley. The 1 i nobleman, who twice, in and again in 1927, won the 400-meter hurdle championship in the relay carnival, wrote Swarts that a combination circumstances, including the recent British Empire games in Australia and examination periods that will be held at the time of the carnival, would prevent the appearance of such outstanding athletes as Godfrey Brown and Stanley Woodcrson.

State Quarterbacks Say It with Fists EAST LANSING. March 5 At least two quarterbacks on the Michigan State College football squad can enforce their orders if necessary. Don Rossi and Vin cent Apanavice are boxers at 165 and 175 pounds, respectively, and are regular members of the Spar tan ring team. Last year Ends Ernest Bremer and Frank Gaines were members of the team, but they both gave up boxing for other sports this winter. Miss Chatbum sent in Townsman, with her silks of green and gold bands, red dots and gold sleeves personally designed.

Walsh, who was the first out standing member of the screen society to enter a horse in this event Grand Manitou last year made his second bid with Frexo, another long shot. It almost would have been easier to list the cinema celebrities absent, and while there were the usual "sentiment" bets for stable owners from the picture palaces, most of them present preferred the more "solid entries." More than sentiment, however, gave such stars as Joe E. Brown. Clark Gable and Dick Allen their liking for Col. Maxwell Howard's 1 entry of Stagehand, recent Santa I Anila Deihv winner, and Scene-i ('able.

WILL SUBSTITUTE SHOT PUT the basketball to the track quarters in the lockerroom. Then he will put on a pair of spike shoes and begin tossing an Iron ball across the dirt floor of the field-house after reporting to Coach Charley Hoyt. No longer will he utilize the sharp eye, the deft hands and the shifty feet that have made him one of the most feared basketball play' ers in the Big Ten over a three' year span.

But he will employ the same fine co-ordination and rip' pling muscles as he sends the sixteen-pound weight hurtling out past the forty-foot mark. Helped Humble Dartmouth For two years Townsend has been named on th All-Conference basketball team. Last year he tied for second in individual scoring with Mike McMlchaels, of North western, at 123 points. Reviewing his collegiate basketball career, Jake regards his performance against Dartmouth last December at White Plains, N. as his best.

Although reticent about his accomplishments, the tall U. of M. star admits that he helped hold the Indians to a single point in the first half and himself scored 13 points although he was in the game only 25 minutes. Michigan won, 42 to 17. Townsend's best college scoring feat was 19 points.

He scored that number against Indiana at Ann Arbor last season and then against Toledo University last New Year's Day at Toledo. However, Jake enjoys the role of playmaker more than that of scorer and as such he has been a big asset to the Michigan team. Like many other basketball stars, Townsend learned the game in Indiana. He played for Tech High of Indianapolis and was named twice on the All-Indiana scholastic team. In 1934 his team went to the final of the state tournament before losing to Longansport, 25-10.

Goes to Big Ten Meet In track Townsend has not gained as widespread reputation al though he is regarded as one of the best shot putters in the Big Ten. His farthest heave with the shot was 48 feet 6 inches in an outdoor meet with Illinois last year. He will compete in the Big Ten Indoor championships next week-end at Chicago. Jake has made three trips to the West Coast with Michigan track or bas ketball teams. Townsend prefers the sterner competition of basketball but he also likes tracks.

He cannot mix the two because basketball re quires flexible muscles while the shot putting toughens them. Thus he will be tossing the shot for the first time since last summer when he starts practice this week. Jake plans to continue his studies at Michigan in law school next year. He also would like to assist in coaching the basketball team. If he gets the job, Michigan may continue to profit by the basketball wizardry of this husky Hoosier lad Sunderland Gains English Semifinals LONDON, March 5 (A.P.)

Or will it be Charlie Grimm, of the Cubs, who will be faced with the battle of trying to keep harmony in the newly formed "brain trust" and at the same time trying to stall off the drives of the Giants and the Cardinals? Each of these pilots will have a job on his hands a job that doesn't look to be any too simple.

But when it comes to the tough- Elenich's Work to Be a Factor in AJ-0 Series By E. L. Warner, Jr. Joe Elenich, steady-going Holz-baugh defenseman, is one reason why the Fords led the Michigan-Ontario Hockey League during the regular season. The 195-pound Elenich will bo on the Holzbaugh A i A ELENICH defense body-checking the Chatham Maroons when the teams open their playoff series Monday night at Olympia.

Manager Harry McDermott hasn't many flashy stars on his roster, but he has a hard-working band of piickmen who go out there and play heads-up hockey. That why the Fords wore down ie Maroons with three goals in overtime when the teanis met last Monday in the final battle for first place. Cupper Country Product Klenich, like many of his teammates, learned his hockey in the Michigan Copper Country around Calumet. He played with the Tamarack Falcons when they won three straight titles in the Upper Peninsula amateur league. Among his mates were Rudy Zunich, Al Geishel and Jimmy Baudlno, now with him on Holzbaugh.

Wes Lampsa was a member of rival Houghton Heights, and Mat Wll-janen was with Wolverine. Joe, who is known to his fellow players as Kokie, once scored five goals for Tamaiack from his defense position. One year Tamarack won the silver McNaughton Cup, valued at $2,000. But the Falcons did not have the $50 to pay the annual insurance on the trophy, so they declined it. Klenich migrated to the Rhine-lander club in the Northern Wisconsin League in 1932-33, and his team finished second.

Then he went to Chicago and played for the Butterfingers the next season. Despite the team's misleading name, Joe enjoyed the best season of his career. Elenich. of Slovenian descent, is "5 years old. He works in a River Rouge auto plant when not playing hockey.

Joe will team with Lampsa. Zunich and Francis Ruelle on the defense Monday against Chatham. Coach McDermott is handicapped in that he has only two good lines Keith Crossman-Emerson Reid-Joe Levine and Baudlno-Wiljanen-Geishel. Wiljanen has an infected toe that may impair his usefulness.

The f-cond game of the series is set Ihiuw-ay at Olympic. 1 t. I lead over Detroit by beating the Maroons, who are hopelessly out of the playoff fight in the International Division. It's All a Gamble A defeat at the hands of Boston while the Hawks are kicking the poor Maroons around would leave ths Wings six points or three full games in the rear with only five games to make up the deficit. The Wings then practically would have to win four of their remaining five games while the Hawks were winning two of their four games left.

"It's all a gamble and the breaks from now on in," Manager Jack Adams told his players at an informal meeting Saturday. "If get a few, which we haven't all season, we may make It. If we non't, well, It's just too bad. We've got to keep plugging until our last chance is gone." Should the Wings fall to make tho nlMvfiff it. would he the sec ond time since James Norris, the Chicago grain merchant, took over Olympia and provided the means for Adams to develop players on various farm clubs.

Only Rival W'a 1IIS4-S5 The only other Red Wing team that was out of the playoffs in the Norris regime was the 1934-35 team and that team at the end of the season staged a spectacular streak of 13 games without defeat. But. Its deficit at the start of the streak was too great to overcome. Detroit's best chance to make the playoffs this year lies in the Chicago game next Sunday, providing the Wings can keep within hailing distance in the meantime. Defeat at the hands of the Hawks next Sunday probably will eliminate the Wings.

The Wings' record against the Bruins this season has not been bright. They have made three points, a victory and a tie. Tholr victory, however, on Boston ice was their best game of the season. "Maybe we can repeat that game," Larry Aurie. the Adams' aide, remarked hopefully.

Outboard Drivers Open Record Trys Cooper Cracks First in Class Event NEW YORK, March 5 American outboard drivers, who dominate this division of international motorboat racing, have started their annual attack on world speed records. One of the 11 marks established last year has fallen and outboard officials predict that the end of the lSJS season wll find a general revision in the 18 official standards now standing on the books. Thorn Cooper, youthful Kansas City pilot, was the first to enter the record-breaking column this year, clicking off a new Class professional competition speed of 55.058 m.p.h at Lakeland, last week. Cooper broke the 54.184 miles an hour Louis Geraci, of Tampa, Fla, set up on the same )'se last year.

Coming on the heels of the announcement by Chairman Herman Petzold of July 16 as the starting date, it gave the race its earliest impetus in 18 years. William P.

and Tom K. Fisher, both veterans of the River, lined up as the first entries. Bill, as spokesman, revealed they would sail a new 35-foot cruising sloop recently developed in the East. It arrived in Detroit last week and will be the mother ship of what is hoped to be a Great Lakes ff'BlAH. iJ'VORAfT 6 I'HmfHX class of sizeable proportions.

The Fisher brothers have assumed the role of sponsors of the new class. A Standardized Class? Bill Fisher has made the voyage to Mackinaw Island several times, while Tommy made his debut last year." Over the season, however, Tommy established himself as a leading skipper, sweeping the six-meter class in nearly every race. The brothers' choice of the new boat thus makes it something to anticipate. The vessel may mean a standardized class of cruising yachts, which will save judges the headaches of figuring handicaps. It is an all-round auxiliary cruiser equally pood for racing.

Donald B. Abbott, of New York, introduced its design to the East last October and in five months has seen it take surprising hold. According to Abbott, it is the outcome of 10 years of thought and discussion about the ideal four-berth, single-hander, during which time he has interviewed several hundred skippers. Samla-Mackinac Race Base The result, as put on paper by Sparkman and Stephens, is a boat 35 feet overall, 27 feet waterline. 9 feet, 5 inches beam, 5 feet, 6 inches draft, with 562 square feet of sail and jib and mainsail, a small auxiliary motor, over six feet of headroom and complete and spacious accommodations for four people.

The design was announced laat September and went into production in October. The Fishers' boat was one of the first to be shipped from the East. FetZGiu'o Oificml aniiuiiuCrihcilt last week also said that Mackinac race headquarters again would be st the Sarnia Yacht Club.

Most humiliating from the Boston angle is the fact Connie Mack's Athletics are rated over the Red Sox. The A's are priced at 50 to 1. This has caused a commotion. Veteran Boston observers are willing to hock their valuables on a straight Athletic-Red Sox race. It must come as a shock to Yaw-key, after shipping bundles of cash into Mack's coffers In exchange for the best of Connie's athletes.

Prices Not Constant The Senator supporters also feel they have been slighted. Odds of 80 to 1 mean a difference of 30 points between the A's and Bucky Harris' men. It Isn't booming the Washington outlook. But there in nothing to do. except sit tight and await actual developments to prove Doyle wrong.

Even at 80 to 1 there are few men who would be willing to gamble on the Senators as ultimate pennant winners. The Browns are at the ludicrous price of 1,000 to 1. This upsets Gabby Street. However, all ha seeks is to climb out of the cellar, or perhaps a real drive for sixth place. Improved pitching, with Newsom, Tamulls and Big Jim Weaver, may do that.

However, no Browns' team in modern history ever crashed through on top of the heap. It must be remembered that these prices do not remain constant throughout the season. Thry will rise and drop on the sprin? training showings which mean little to insiders, and they will change again after the first week or two of the regular campaign. Continued spurts and let-downs influence the betting quotations. Sticks With Cochrane Of Interest is the fact that th chief rival of the Yankees, according to Doyle, is the Tigers.

Some Detroit fans won't forgive Mickey Cochrane for trading Gerald Walker, even in the face of increased pitching strength. Doyle apparently does. He thinks the Tigers are the team the Yanks will have to beat. This should go a long way toward vindicating Cochrane in the eyes of a greater part of Detroit's rabid random. One should not take it for granted that Doyle himself appraises the Athletics as a better team than the Red Sox because of tha difference in the two prices.

Ho may believe the Red Sox are a better bet to finish in front of the A's, but that if it boiled down to a matter of winning the pennant his money would drop on Mack's charges. By the same token, Doyle may regard the Indians as superior to the White Sox if the two teams were swapping base hits for third or fourth place, but when it comes to winning the flag, with all that it connotes, he would think Jimmy Dykes and his crew weia the most dangerous. Ruth's Fame Laid to a Fourth Sight It Wasn't His Power, Doctor Claims Babe Ruth's eyes, not his muscular arms and shoulders, made him home-run king, according to Dr. Edgar D. Tillyer, of South-bridge.

Mass. The Bambino, he said, possessed a stereoscopic vision commonly known as a fourth quality sight. The same faculty made Bobby Jones a star golfer and Big Bill Tilden a court champion. Usually found in Infancy, tha quality often is lost later in life. Dr.

By E. L. Warner, Jr. John (Jake) Townsend will don his rubber-soled shoes and trot out on the Yost Field House court for the last time Monday night as Michigan's basketball team faces Northwestern. It will mark the conclusion of a great csge career when Townsend sinks his last basket of the evening.

But it will not be the swan song for Townsend as a Michigan athlete. On Tuesday he will transfer his jerseys and sweat suits from If Bruns Wins, It'll Still Be theOldChamp Should Bobby Bruns lift the international wrestling title from Jim Londos at Olympia Friday night, as many persons seem to think will happen, yon could describe the new champion In practically the same terms and adjectives that have been attached to the present titleholder. About the only difference between Londos and Burns seems to be that one is a Greek and the other a German. In other matters they are quite similar. Both are idols of the feminine section of wrestling rooters.

Both are students of the Greek classics and of ancient paintings. Bruns is a Chicago lawyer, a graduate of No rthwestem, while Londos is 4 versed in Greek law, ancient jim and modern. Both Bruns and Londos have trained baritone voices and number among their intimate friends the stars of operatic companies. Each is a fanatic on keeping that waistline under control. Both play golf in the high 80s.

Londos is a noted swimmer while Bruns led the 1932 Olympic swimming team for the United States. Londos is a water polo enthusiast and so is Bruns. Both are natty dressers and suave conversationalists. In wrestling each possesses speed, ability and box office appeal. When the similarities were pointed out to Bruns, he answered: "My mouth is wider and Jim has more money." Jim, incidentally, has more money than any other wrestler.

He has earned approximately and has wrestled before at least three crowds over the 80,000 mark. He has been in more than 3,400 matches with a 25 per cent take on all of them. He has averaged spectators a match. Friday's match will be Bruns' second with Londos. Two months ago in Chicago Londos won after spectators claimed Bruns had tossed the champion.
