NEW YORK, Feb. 5—Back on {the old home grounds at last, Casey Stengel, new assistant mana- | ger of the Brooklyn Dodgers, should add something to the “color” char- acteristic of all Flatbush teams. The always pugnacious and lively ‘Casey, who last year managed the Toledo Mudhens in the American association, was taken on by Max Carey, new Brooklyn manager, just 20 years after his first connectiont with the Dodgers. Back in the winter of 1911-1912, Stengel was drafted by Brooklyn |from Aurora of the Wisconsin-Tl4 linois league, and became a regulad ron the club after two years of !seasoning in the minors.

The enthusiasm of Prof. McCar- mey, who has been peering intently at fistic affairs all over the country for many years, cooled rapidly up- on his arrival oh Miami's famous shores.

Dropkick Record A trifle belated, to the extent of 40 years, recognition has gone toa grey-haired citizen of Birmingham, Ala., for booting the longest drop- kick field goal in football history. He is jas you may already have noted, J. P. Ross, and he achieved his record performance in a game between the Birmingham A.C. and University of Alabama, November 12, 1892, To Jerry Bryan of Birmingham I am indebted for a full story of the facts, all of which have been substantiated by friends of Ross and placed in the hands of Parke H. Davis, gridiron historian and record-keeper. Ross's kick won the game for Birmingham A. C, 5 to 4, as field goals counted one point more than touchdowns in those days. g Merriwell Boot A mewspaper story of the game at the time noted: “Just as Bir- mingham enthusiasts were begin- ning to despair of victory, Ross (who was playing fullback and had just received an opposing kick) Basketball DOUBLEHEADER D.

He played “rugger” so that he was easily interested in the American game of football. He was an expert swimmer, too, winning medals in open meets. He once won a prize in a pocket billiard tournament. Now he plays golf regularly and al- 50 plays a steady game of tennis. ——————— . SPORT BRIEFS Merritt Bates of Dallas is the new singles handball titlist, of the Texas Y. M. 8.
