FIVE STILL ARE MISSING FROM HOT SPRINGS SQUAD Peck and Ogden Signed, But Johnson, Leibold and Gregg Doubtful—Last May Never Report. Walter May Want BY DENMAN Sports Baitos OT SPRINGS, Ark., February 1 Harris, who arived yesterday a month of golfing at Tampa, H 3-Year Contract. THOMPSON. r, The Star. 6.—Under the leadership of “Bucky” in god health and high spirits from a small, but select, group of athletes this morning took a hike over the foot hills of the Ozarks to inaugurate training for a season which the youthful managér confidently expects will produce a second straight American League pennant for Washington In addition to the pilot himself the group included figures familiar to Capital fans in “Goose” Goslin and Joe Judge who have been romping around on the links here for a couple of weeks or more, and Fred Mar- berry, with a trio of new Nationals and Walter Ruether, the last named for many days. Sam Rice, who, with Goslin, came Yere the first of the month as the vanguard of Griffs, was missing from the picture, having already pulled up &takes for Tampa, where this squad will join him and others on the roster| two weeks hence, but there were five absentees when Boss Harris gave his marching orders—Walter Johnson, Roger Peckinpaugh, Vean Gregs, Warren Ogden and Nemo Leibold Of the quintet, Peck is de tel. due here tomorrow and Ogden is ex- | pected to check in most any hour, both having duly signed their con- tracts and received transportation, | but the others at this writing are in somewhat doubtful status. Leibold, for instance, probably will he permitted to report direct to Tampa, having explained that he took the baths here when a member of 1he Boston Red Sox, only to find that they didn't agree with him. Allen Rlussell advanced the same argument last year and made his point. Johnson, it seems, despite the state- ments credited to him last week at his home in Reno. Nev, that he had accepted terms and would come on, is not quite satisfied with the financial inducements offered him by Clark Grifiith and is busily engaged with long-distance dickering on that score. It might be assumed that Barney was contending for a one-year con- tiact that would leave him free to obtain the Pacific Coast League franchise he failed to land this Winter, but they do say that Walt is shying at a handsome two-vear agreement and trying to arrange for service on a three-year basls. Gregg May Not Report. So far as Gregg is concerned. it may well be doubted whether he ever Joins the Nationals. It will be re- called that after his sale was an- nounced Vean issued an ultimatum 10 the effect that unless the Seattie <lub gave him a generous share of the purchase price he would not budge out of that dear Walla Walla, or wherever it is that he hibernates during the Winter. The coast team officials then announced that he would receive not a nickel more. Unless Gregg reports to the Na- tionals the deal will be automatical- 1y called off. It so happens that Seattle 1s badly In need of pitchers to defend the title it won last season. Maybe Gregg 8oubts his ability to come back tn fast company, where In sea- sons gone by he was a star with the Cleveland Indians. Or maybe he likes the climate on the Coast and the idea of being close to his home. At any rate, the outlook now is that the 40- year-old southpaw will have only “champions” on his uniform this vear, with no “world” in front of it, in which case certain conclusions might be drawn. All in Fine Condition. the boys here are in splendid according to Harris, who Al condition, s particularly gratified over the ap- L« pearance of Ruether and Marberry. The latter, the biggest man on the Washington roster, has so employed himself during the Winter that he weighs six pounds more than at the close of last season. when he bal- anced the beam at an even 200. Reuther appears to be tickled pink | over landing with the world cham-| pions and is facing the season in much the samg spirit as a rookie getting his first chance in the big league. Dutch had some troublé with his propelling south paw last season while on the pay roll of the Brooklyn Dodgers, but the flipper rounded into shape near the close of the campaign, as was evidenced by the fact that he fanned 10 bat- ters in one engagement, although by no means a “strike-out pitcher.” Harris let it be known today that the preliminary work now entered upon will not be so strenuous as the program followed here last Spring, when more than one of his perform- ers caved in and fell by the wayside auring the daily hikes. He is en- tering upon the conditioning grind with the same seriousness that char- acterizes everything he does, how- wver, this being evidenced by the sact that he left his golf sticks back in Tampa. To Leave Soom, Says Walt. RENO, Nev., February 16.—Walter Johnson, Washington pitching ace, will leave Reno for Hot Springs this week, he said. “I haven't signed my contract, but 1 shall do so before [ leave, which will be within a day or two,” he said.» DUKE FARRELL, VETERAN BIG LEAGUE PLAYER, DIES BOSTON, February 16—Charles A.| (Duke) Farrell, 59 years old, veteran hase ball player and for the past two years coach and scout for the Boston Nationals, died in a hospital here yes- terday after being operated upon for a stomach complaint a month ago. Farrell began his professional career in 1887 with the Salem club of the New England League. The next iwo vears he was with the Chicago Nationals, and later played with the| Chicago team of the Players' League, the Boston American Association club, Pittsburgh, Washington, the New York Giants, the Boston American League club and Brooklyn. He was a catcher, a third baseman and general utility player. He was with Brooklyn when that team won two championship: ONLY FIVE HURLERS LEFT ON BROWNS’ STAFF ST. LOUIS, Mo.. February 16.—The release of Hube Pruett leaves the St. Louls Browns with only five of the eleven pitchers with whom the club was started in the season of 1924. These are Vangilder, Davis, Dan- forth, Wingard and Grant. Those who have been traded or sold are Shocker, Kolp, Bayne, Pruett, Lyons ‘and Voight. Only two of the club's pres- ent pitching staff, Vangilder and Davis, were members throughout the memorable race of 1922, when' the Browns finished a game out of first place. .

Gipp, Grange and Thorpe, he said, are players who come “once in a life- time.” ALLEN EASILY WINS U. S. SKATING TITLE LAKE PLACID, N. Y., February 16. —Francis Allen of Chicago yester- day was crowned amateur speed skat- ing ace of America. Allen won the crown when he forced Charles Gorman of St. John, New Brunswick, defending cham- pion, throughout the 440-yard event of the American diamond trophy championships and placed second, bringing up his total points to 120. Gorman led throughout the race nd came within one-fifth of a sec- ond of the record time he establish- ed last year at Saranac Lake. His time was 36 4-5 seconds. Joe Moore of New York City placed third In the 440 and clinched the 300~ point Maxwell trophy. O'Neill Farrell of Chicago won his fifth successive race and the Lake Placid trophy by taking the 440-yard event in that series, equaling Gor- man’s time in the national contest.

WINN General Manager Kentucky Jockey Club To my way of thinking the greatest thrill that could come to any turf- man would be the winning of the Kentucky Derby. This is the greatest classic of the Ameri can turf, and, since the pas ing of the American Derby, which was run at Washing- ton Park, Chi- cago, in the olden days, is the one big 3-year-old race of the conti- nent. I have never experi- enced the sen- WINN, sation of win- OOL MATYR ' ning the Derby, but it would be worth all other vic tories. Of course, T have had my great mo- ments on the turf. One of them was when 1 was instrumental in staging the great series of international races in which Epinard, the French cham- pion, engaged our thoroughbreds. I am now working on other interna- tional events which will even surpat that. But my outstanding turf memory was. when, as a boy, 1 saw the famous Ten Broeck-Mollie McCarty match race, which was run over the historic Churchill Downs course, and which was the great- est_event of the oldem days of turtdom. For many days it was the most-talked-of sporfing evemt ever calendared up to that time, and interest was worked up to the highest fever pitch. Both Ten Broeck and Mollie Me- Carty had thousands of followers, each proclaiming his or her choice the champion. Each horse had made tur? history, and down through the years turfmen still talk with the utmost enthusiasm of these thor- oughbreds whenever the past is aij cussed.

There were 25,000 people present and half of them stood on my feet and the other half seemed to be in a conspiracy to keep me from seeing the race. Perishing with thirst, suffocating with the heat, I finally cltmbed one of thie few trees in the center field, and, hanging from one of the up- per branches, I waw the start, the finish and every move of that mever-to-be-forgotten race.

Hunting licenses, except to shoot wild fowl on the salt marshes, were revoked by Gov. Silzer of New Jer- sey last Fall.

CARMACK SETS PACE IN BASKET SCORING NEW YORK, February 16.—By scor- ing one fleld goal and three foul baskets in the game with the Colum- bia quintet last week, Carmack of Pennsylvania gained undisputed pos- session of first place in the race for the individual scoring honors of the Eastern Intercollegiate Basket Ball League. . He now has a total of 23 points, one more than the number made by Laub of Columbia, who was tied with Carmack for first place a week ago. Picken of Dartmouth is now third with 26 points, while Goas of the same team comes next with a total of 24. Baldwin of Columbia, who topped the st for several weeks early in the season, is now fifth with 23 points. So far as field goals alone are con- cerned, Goas of Dartmouth ranks first with a total of 10. Laub of Columbia and Friedman of Dartmouth come next with nine. In shooting foul goals Carmack is the leader with a total of 13. Picken of Dartmouth and Dake of Cornell are tied for second place in this respect with 12 each. Dartmouth scored its fourth sue- cessive victory in as many games by defeating Cornell last Saturday. Princeton, the only other unbeaten team in the league, has gained three victories.
