McKNIGHT MEXICO CITY, April 6.—Foot- ball made Clarence (Ace) Parker famous—but he likes baseball bet- ter. | Duke University’s 1936 all-Amer-| ica backfield star has put off get-| ting his college degree to try out for Connie Mack's 1937 Philadel-| phia Athletics. He has been shaping up nicely,! too, down here under the hot Mex- ican sun, and, were it not for the brilliant Wally Moses who recent- ly came to terms, Parker might well be playing right field for the Macks this season. | Even’ so, it seems likely Parker’s name will adorn the Athletics’ roster, for Mack, building for the| future, likes the 24-year-old colleg- ian's looks. “I'll take baseball over football any time,” the soft-spoken lad from Portsmouth, Va., said as he made ready to take his cut i1 bat- ting practice. “When Mr. Mack offered me the chance to take this training trip with the team, it didn't take me long to decide to drop my books. I'll go back to Duke to finish up next winter.” While Moses held out for more money, Parker got his opportunity to play with the regulars in exhi- bition games down here. The result was quickly evident in his increased self-confidence. Fast on his feet, quick of reaction, sure of muscular coordination, the Southerner covered acres of terri- tory in right field, rifled unerring. throws to the infield and ran bases to Mr. Mack’s entire satisfaction. He had, in the earlier stages of training, one weakness: He hit too often at wide, high balls. Two fellow Duke products and brother Sigma Chi fraternity mem- bers First-baseman *“Chubby” Dean and Third-baseman Bill Wer- ber—got to work on him, however, with the result that Ace has been looking ’'em over to better pur- se.

HUSKY VARSITY | EIGHT NOT YET SET FOR RACES Ulbrickson Says Improving But Plans Three- Mile Trial | SEATTLE, April 6. — Coach Al Ulbrickson said today that Wash- ington's crew situation is improv- ing, following a mile and one-quar- ter heat in which the Varsity fi- nally defeated the Junior Varsity. Coach Ulbrickson plans a three- mile time trial hefore the Husky oarsmen leave Saturday for tne 4l Rights Reserved by The Assoclated Prase 'with the team that Matty had ‘bunl. Bill Terry started as a pitcher, hurling from 1914 to 1922, But he left the mound before he got to the big time. Terry moved over to first base when he went to Toledo in the American Association. He has been at first ever since—for 15 years—and his pitching activi- ties are almost forgotten. The last hurler to lead an Amer- ican League team was Walter Johnson. Johnson managed Wash- ington before taking over the Cleve- land club, from which he was bounced. Many Mitt Managers While pitcher-managers are rare, catcher-managers are common. Johnson gave way at Cleveland to| Catcher BSteve O'Neill. There are three other big mitt men bossing| hig leaguers: Connie Mack, the Philadelphia A’s dean of major Oakland Estury for their regatta there on April 17 against the crews oi the University of California. Ul- brickson expressed the fear that the Varsity composed of the eight sweepsters who won the Olympic title a year ago may not stand af- managers; Mickey Cochrane, De- troit Tigers, and, in the National, Jimmy Wilson of the Phillies. —_—————— MARTHA SOCIETY Public dinner, Wednesday, 28.
