Injuries, operations, illness and even death have cut sharply into the roster of eligibles since the training camps sprouted a month ago. Brooklyn, with two regulars out for an indefinite period, appears to have been hardest hit. Del Bissonette, regular first baseman, is in the hos- pital after an operation on the achilles tendon and may not be available for months. Frank (Lefty) O'Doul, slug- ging outfielder, is nursing a bruised right hand that is calcylated to keep him out at least until the season be- gins. The Boston Red Sox will line up April 11 against Washington without two players Manager Shauno Collins had counted upon. Big Ed Morris, veteran pitcher, was fatally stabbed the day he was to have left for camp, and George Stumpf, a promising out- fielder purchased from Quincy, Hl., is in bed with intestinal influenza, An operation for appendicitis cost the New York Yankees the services of Pitcher Henry Johnson until well up in the campaign and it is doubtful even then he will be of much value to derwent a similar operation early last season, did not regain his pitching form until the fag end of the race. ‘Yankee adherents are viewing with the customary alarm a “kink” that settled in Babe Ruth’s neck the other day and is forcing the big fellow to carry his head at half mast. Two of the Philadelphia Nationals’ four first line pitchers are returning from the south in doubtful condition. Jim Elliott, the club's ace southpaw, is wearing a slab of porous plaster on his back and groaning with every pitch, while Clise Dudley is nursing a sore arm. Chuck Klein, the Phils’ the club.

Johnny Vergez, third baseman, has been injured and Frank Hogan has an uncertain knee. Adding to Mc- Graw’s troubles is the fact Second Baseman Hughie Critz still can't get the old whip in the throwing arm. The Giants are reported to be scouting around for another second baseman and another catcher. Mickey Cockrane, the Athletics brilliant catcher, is going about in. carpet slippers after an operation on an infected foot, but will be ready by opening day if there are no com- plications. Alvin Crowder, Washing- | ton righthander, has been called home by illness in his family and may not {return until after the race starts. i Hi-Liners Prepare | For Track Season Valley City, N. D., March 31—@®)— Coach Claude Miller of Valley City \nigh school is keeping a weather eye on the skies as he watches his track team prospects going through train- ing exercises in the gymnasium here. He plans to start outdoor training as soon as weather permits. Athletes at the Hi-Liner school have turned their attention to the coming track and field competitions and find a heavy schedule ahead. The Kiwanis track and field meet here May 7 is one of several meets in which the high school squad will take part. Other scheduled meets include a dual meet with Jamestown April 30, and a triangular meet with Oakes and La Moure early in May. Valley City also will be represented at the Agricultural college festival track contests May 13 and 14 and the com-| jpetitions at the University of North: Dakota at Grand Forks May 20 and © a | Alonzo Stagg Is | | Working on Team OnE tito aie aaa ek Chicago, March 31.—(4)—Amos Alonzo Stagg, the “grand old | man” of the University of Chi- cago, is at it again. The 69-year-old veteran was busy building his 41st consecutive football team at the Midway Wednesday with fresh enthusia- sm _and optimism. He thinks he’s got the best squad since 1924, when the Mar- oons won the Big Ten title. Stagg will be 70 before the next season rolls around. His birth- day falls on August 16. o aN Hrat MY Motto’ $——_. The important part of the White Sox-Senators winter trade, from a Washington standpoint, is Carl Rey- nolds, above, outfielder and a right- handed batter. Reynolds is expected to give the Senators’ outfield better balance, for in the last few seasons the Washington outfield has been made up of left-handed batters.

Spears to break his contract as head football coach at the University of: Oregon was voicéd by the athletic committee here Wednesday night. Spears’ breaking his contract also was deplored. A formal statement, issued by the committee after a meeting called to consider possible successors to the coaching job here said: - “The associated students of the University of Oregon regret that Dr. Spears has seen fit to break his con- tract with them without first asking to be released from it. It also con- siders the action of the University of Wisconsin and its supporters in urg- ing Spears to break his contract as unconducive to the best interests of intercollegiate relationships, The associated students expect to carry on their athletic program with the usual degree of success.” Brian Minmaugh, chairman of the committee, announced spring football practice would begin Thursday. under the direction of Jack O’Brien and Gene Shields, assistant coaches. Coaches Consider Changes in Rules Ways and Means of Eliminating. Stalling in Basketball Proposed ' Chicago, March 31.—(7)—Ways and means of eliminating stalling in bas- ketball were considered Thursday by more than 100 coaches as they gath- ered for their annual meeting. Several proposals to speed up the game were up for consideration, in- cluding restricting the dribble to one bounce in the back court, instituting the “held ball” rule in case the team in possession of the ball fails to try for a goal after five seconds, and giving the referee power to penalize @ team for stalling. Dr. Walter Meanwell of Wisconsin had several radical rule changes to Suggest, one of which proposes all free throws be made at the end of each half and another the principle of cancellation. Thus, if two teams had the same number of fouls at the end of the half, no free throws would be made. If one team had two more free throws coming, it would be permitted to make just that many at the half or at the end of the game. ‘The Lexington Racing association track in Kentucky probably is the Oldest in the country, the first race + «
