The Giants have more than a passing interest -in Virgil (Spud) Davis, the 6-foot-1 catcher Cin- cinatti bought from the St. Louis Cardinals in December.

Mrs. Scott is a Virginian, wife of i Randolph Scott. Slender, dark-eyed young Hobbs was born at Westbury, the Long Island horse capital, and brought to England at the age of two, a British subject. His father, Regi- nald Hobbs, spent 12 years in the United States as manager of F. Ambrose Clark’s stables. Young Hobbs, who rode before. he could walk—his father says—, has suffered many spills—one at the age of five when he was ren- dered unconscious for four days on a fall while following a hunt. At nine he had won a cupboard full of amateur trophies. Then he devot- ed himself to academic education. His father pridefully points to the fact -he rode two winners to cele- brate his turning pro. Now he's a full-time trainer and rider. There’s a possibility, Bruce may go to the United States next sum- mer, “We've had several invitations and may go, although it's not de- cided,” his father says. “I want him to have some American exper- fence.

Branch Rickey, vice-president of the St. Louis Cardinals, said here on a recent visit. “Dizzy is merely at the thresh- hold of greatness. He is only 26 and probably will be greater at 36.

'He did very well, winning | the title of club champion of Grassy Sprain‘in Yonkers, N. Y, and seem- |ed satisfied that he had found his game. Then he went to Lake Placid in| 1932 for the winter Olympic Games. The bobsleds caught his eye. Be-| fore he knew what he was doing| he found himself flying down the irun. One taste was all he needed. He immediately set to work lin- ing up a crew with the 1936 Oly- pic Games as his objective. His sled won the Olympic tryouts, and the right to represent the U. 8. But at Garmisch - Partenkjrchen the sledders met with an accident in practice and were kept out of com- | petition. Heads Another Team Weeks in the hospital failed to| dampen Donna’s ardor for the dan- gerous sport. Now, once again, he is heading a team to compete in the world championships in Switz- erland. While he is abroad he and his teammates will defend the Ar- gentine cup which they won last year on the tricky St. Moritz run. Equipped with a new:sled, rigged with wider runners than the one| used in winning the Olympic trials,| and with a veteran crew, Fox feels /he has a fine chance of gaining some of the glory he missed when he was kept out of the Olympic tests. Fox things that wider run- ners will mean a greater margin of safety in megotiating the treacher- ous turns. Jimmy Bickford, Fox’s brakeman, will be on the job. Bickford's elbow still aches as a reminder of the pre-Olympic accident, but a little thing like that couldn’t keep Jim- my from the fun. He has the rep- impede the progress of the sled by the use of brakes. Only under most extraordinary circumstances does he resort to them.
