Displaying much better form than in their defeat of Germany, 1-0, Thursday, the American hockey rep- |resentatives turned back Switzerland, 3-0, with a dazzling second period of- fensive that netted all three goals in- side one minute of play. Canada, the defending champion, meantime, crushed Latvia, 11-0 for its second victory in as many days. U. S., Canada Qualify Both the United States and Canada thus qualified for the second series of round robins which will lead to the | crowning of an Olympic champion. Each has one more game in the first round robin series yet to play, the United States with Italy and Canada with Austria, but these can not af- fect the safe passage of the two prime favorites into the next round. Under the system here the top two ranking teams in each of the four groups into which the 15 challengers are divided, qualify for the second round. The Americans, in the final session, virtually ran the demoralized Swiss from the ice. Only the grand work of Albert Kunzler, Swiss goalie, kept the score within bounds. With less than two minutes to go in the second period, Frank Stubbs dashed down the center and passed to ; Spain right in front of the Swiss goal. Spain’s shot was good and America led, 1-0.

Garrison completed the sudden scoring orgy with a wild shot from mid-ice. The Olympic four-man _ bob-sled races, scheduled for Saturday, were postponed until a “later date” because of the poor condition of the bob run. Postponement, if not outright can- cellation, of the bob-sledding competi- tion, had been freely forecast after a series cf accidents during practice. U. S.

In an interview published in Ger- man papers, Kleeberg called the match “irregular.” “It's a pity the game ended irregu- larly,” Kleeberg said. “Judge Loicq of Belgium had proposed an interrup- tion on account of the heavy snow- fall.

By HARRY GRAYSON New York, Feb. 7—(NEA)—The life-span of the National League of Professional Baseball Clubs, which celebrated its 60th birthday on Feb. 2, covers about three-fifths of the en- tire scope of the game's history. Three-score years ago, representa- tives of clubs in eight cities conven- ed at the Grand Central Hotel here to organize the oldest living baseball circuit. There are still eight cities in the loop and their official convening Place still is New York. But headquarters today are in Ra- dio City, the R. C. A. Building, and in that stretch of 60 years, from the old Grand Central Hotel to the ul- tra-modern setting of Rockefeller Cen- ter, is written a story of progress in baseball matching the march of man- kind’s achievements from the ancient hostelry of wood-framework and brick baywindows to the modernistic steel-and-concrete 70-story Rocke- feller man-made mountain peak. The National League has weather- ed two great wars involving the Unit- 1 ed States with foreign powers. It has jkept its ranks firm through boom- times and depressions. It has with- } Stood baseball wars and scandals, Baseball’s first professional league, the National Association, disintegrated in 1875 because of inadequate central control, breaches of contract between players and owners and between clubs, intimidation of umpires by the lings, and intimations of dishonesty in the conduct of games. Crookedness Quickly Crushed Founders of the National League in America’s centennial year, 1876, had the picture of the five-year stormy life of the National Association to guide them. They therefore founded the league on the principle of hon- esty above everything else. In the National League’s second season, 1877, three players of the Louisville club—Hall, Devlin, and Nichols were their names—were ex- pelled for trafficking with gamblers. This action had a tremendous ef- fect at the time and very likely this first publicized baseball scandal was the one happening above all others which set the new wheel squarely be- fore the fans of the country as repre- senting the best ideals of the game. Heavy pressure was brought to bear to have the repentant trio reinstated, but the league held firm. The result of this stand was to stamp out dis- honesty and to establish the fact that the throwing of games was henceforth and forever in baseball an unforgiv- able sin. This demonstration of central strength in organization was alko car- ried out in enforcing contractual obli- gations between clubs and players and between clubs, in the observance of playing rules, and in the recognition of the umpire as the entire authority on the field. As the result of this foundation of principle, the league stood up well through the 80s and 90s, even though it changed its lineup frequently. The circuit expanded to 12 clubs during the 9(s, but finally crystallized into its present eight-club status, which has held intact since 1900, Hulbert Plan Becomes Pattern William A. Hulbert, of Chicago, was the father of the National League. At the time of his death in 1882, officials of this epoch-making and long-living cornerstone of pro- fessional baseball paid him eloquent tribute. Their resolution read: “Re- solved, that to William A, Hulbert alone is due the credit for having founded the National League, and to his able leadership, sound judgment, | pitcher, Friday announced his retire-! and impartial management is the suc- cess of the league chiefly due.” Hulbert drafted a constitution which was submitted to the original meeting at the Grand Central Hotel and adopted with only slight changes, Morgan C. Bulkeley, of Hartford, later United States senator from Connecti- cut, was elected president, but after serving one year, retired in favor of Hulbert, who served as chief executive until his death six years later. The Hulbert Plan, which changed the whole set-up of organized base- ball, made the league an organization of clubs, instead of an organization of players. By lining up the franchises according to‘cities instead of indivi- dual groups of players, the Hulbert Plan, revolutionary at the time, es- tablished the pattern of every suc- cessful professional league that has existed since, major or minor.

Spears Friday for his defense against testimony that he ordered liquor to be given his football players and used injured men in practice and games. At the second all-day hearing by the five-man regents’ committee, Trainer William J. Fallon said Thurs- day that Spears, the head football coach, instructed him to mix liquor and coffee for a stimulant during the 1932 Minnesota game here. Fallon said a brandy and coffee mixture was ordered by Spears before last season’s Northwestern game to supplant the usual orange juice and sugar. Two staff members at Wisconsin General hospital told the regents the liquor was purchased through them and recorded at the institution as “special stimulating liniment.” Dr. Lewellyn Coe, who attended football men, said Spears summoned injured players from the infirmary for drills and put two men in games Cespite the doctor's recommendation |that they stay on the bench a while. Spears was described by Basketball Coach Harold Foster as offering “un- asked for advice” about basketball. (Foster said he was not intimate with |Spears and had nothing against him. The basketbadll mentor also de- fended his agreement with Athletic Director Walter Meanwell by which Meanwell could discharge him quietly if he wished, Golden Glove Semis, Finals Set Tonight Minneapolis, Feb. 17.—(?)—Pruned down to 32 survivors, the Northwest Golden Gloves boxing tournament reaches its climax tonight in semi- finals and finals to determine 1936 champions, Loss of two champions in elimina- tions Wednesday night still left the North Dakota delegation as a power- ful outfit for tonight's bouts. Martin Gainor, University of North Dakota gridder, engages Johnny Hanschen, Minneapolis, in one heavy- weight fight while Cully Eckstrom, teammate and featherweight defend- ing champion, trades punches with Don Espenson, Minneapolis. In the other semi-final heavyweight affair, Art Schultz of North Dakota State meets Lewis Avendorph, Min- neapolis, In lightweight semi-finals, the draw pits Owen Trickey, defend- ing champion from North Dakota U., against Tom Murphy, St. Paul, and Ray Baker, Sioux teammate, against Don Bryce, Minneapolis. Ken Brown of the Sioux delegation resumes defense of his middleweight title against Lester Derr, St. Cloud.

L. Taber of Columbus, O., presi- dent of the National grange, declared rights of landowners’in wildlife must ‘be recognized and the nation’s 6,500,000 farmers must be interested in a wild- life program. Aldo Leopold of the University of Wisconsin uprged new mechanisms to reward private conservation of small game and waterfowl breeding areas. Taber said farmers should be compen- sated in some way for using portions of their land or swamp areas for pro- tection of game. “Sportsmen must accept the farmer as @ partner in the business of wild- life production,” asserted Elliot 3. Barker of Santa Fe, N. M., president, International Association of Game, Fish and Conservation commissioners. Problem of States “The restoration and maintenance of suitable habitat environment for wildlife is the states’ biggest problem in game management,” he said. Assailing the policy of paying farmers for not doing things, Taber said “we should be positive rather than negative. The farmer should be paid for using his acres for wild- life_ purposes.” “The farmer must be convinced that game is a valuable by-product of the farm and the sportsmen must not ex- pect the farmer to contribute to his pleasure without compensaion,” said Harry B. Hawes, former senator from iMssouri and a well-known con- servationist-author. ‘Would Pay Taxes’ “When he is shown how, the farmer can make enough from game to at least pay his taxes,” Howes added. He also urged that all federal con- servation agencies be consolidated un- der one control, and that the advis- ory board on game problems, formed 25 years ago, be “restored to full vigor and power.” é The state factor, Hawes said, repre- sented the largest portion of the wild- life problem. His recommendations in the state field were: Adoption of a proposed model state administrative law, removal of poli- tics from fish and game administra-- tion, establishment of new parks and sanctuaries, promotion of game and fish conservation study in universities and public schools, financial assist- ance for instruction in land grant col- leges and 4-H clubs and state funds for the support of conseravtion. Underwood Defeats Toggery Five, 32- Underwood's high-scoring inde- pendents defeated Klein’s Toggery, City League leaders, 32-27, in a fast game played at Underwood Thursday night. Klein’s gained an 8-6 lead in the ‘quarter, increased their advantage to 19-12 at the halftime but withered in the face of a spirited Underwood rally that netted 13 points in the third quarter and seven more in the final stanza. Landgren and Gogstetter set the scoring pace for the winners. Land- gren bagged five field goals and a free throw and Gogstetter connected four times from the floor.

They tell me I’m too young to be making so much money. Well, I’m old enough to win a danged lot of ball games for em. “Last year they told me that a young player never came to the big leagues and made more in two years than I did. You know what I told ‘em? I told ’em they never had any Paul Deans up there before.” Modestly, Paul gave “Diz’ most of the credit for the success of the Dean and Dean combine. “T haven't heard from Diz lately but I know he'll be asking for a big raise in salary. Gosh, Diz is worth $40,000 to the Cards, or any other ball club. If they ever lost him they'd just have to shut the ball park gates. “Say, did you hear that fellow on the radio the other night rank some of the country’s big men? Well, he had President Roosevelt first, of course, and Diz in fourth place. That was swell—only fourth is a little low for Diz.” Between the squealing of pigs and the mooing of cows on his 80-acre farm, Daffy suggested the Cards could start hoisting the pennant almost any time now, with Chicago, New York and Pittsburgh looking on from first division berths. “Frankie Frisch is the smartest man in baseball,” quoth farmer Dean. “He'll bring us in all right.” District ‘B’ Tourney Scheduled at Linton Linton, N.
