EW YORK, January 17.—Dras- tic penalties to prevent a repe- tition of the wild scenes of the last Poughkeepsie regatta have been decided upon by the Intercollegiate Rowing Association.

On the contrary, he will be more than normally strong in both departments of the game. The. 1930 Cast. 'HE Athletics will start their next campaign with the best catcher in base ball—Cochrane—well protected by Perkins and Schang. They will have at least three pitching stars in Grove, Walberg and Earnshaw, with first-class support. They will have a good infield, but not a great one, in Foxx, Bishop, Boley and Dykes. They will have one of the best outfields in the country with Simmons, Miller and Haas. This club finally hit its stride last year. It had shown a lot of stuff be- fore, but it never could quite click over the full route. It proved to be an entirely different ball club by getting the jump on the Yankees without wast- ing any time. There wasn't much doubt as to the new champion of the league by June. President Barnard of the American League is confident that more than one ball club will give Mack's team a hard fight through the Summer on ahead. At the last league meeting several rival managers felt the same way about it. But either the Athletics will have to slip a number of notches or other teams will have to improve about 75 per cent to produce any new American League THE SPORTLIGHT BY GRANTLAND RICE.

Once the position of coach was unknown to big league base ball. Now it is an essential. A coach is sort of assistant manager. The scout hunts up material for the future. The coach handles the bushers. ‘The Boston Braves have not named a coach. Willlam McKechnie had Jack Onslow to help him when McKechnie was with St. Louis, but Onslow is with Newark now. Johnny Evers is to be more of a scout this year than a coach for Boston. Otto Miller has been coach for Brooklyn in the past, but the Brook- Iyn club's cflicial list this year does not name a coach. The Cubs will go in with Jimmy Burke because he keeps the boys mov- ing. Mike Dolan is coming back to help Dan Howley as coach at_Cincin- natl. Otto Willlams will be Howley's other coach. McGraw Has Good Men. John J. McGraw made g radical move when he took Emil Meusel back into the fold as one coach and Dave Bancroft as the other. The latter has had an abundance of experience and there is no one more clever on the b 1 BY JOHN B. FOSTER. PRING training only six weeks off, and not all the | Meusel never has acted as coach and there is some curlosity as to the part he will play with the Giants. Fred Hunter will coach for the Phil- lies, as he has since Shotton has been manager. Oscar Stanage will be re- tained as coach for Pittsburgh. That is a tribute to the good judgment of Donie Bush as well as Jewel Ens, the newer manager of the Pirates. Charlie Street has not named a coach for the St. Louis Cardinals. In the American League Charley Wagner has not selected a coach for Boston. Nor has Donie Bush named a coach at Chicago. The coaches at Cleveland will be Grover Hartley and Howard T. ks as_under Roger Peckinpaugh. Stanley Harris has not named a Detroit coach. Harris himself is the only manager left as an active player. -The coaches for the Yankees will again be Charley O'Leary and Ar- thur Fletcher, another pair of very smart men on the base lines. Austin Still on Job. Connie Mack uses his son, Earl, and Eddie Collins as coaches for the Ath- letics. Bill Killefer of the Browns has Jimmy Auston, the oldest active coach, who has been with St. Louis so long that the Mississippi would run uphill if he left. ‘Walter Johnson had picked Clyde Milan for coach, but Milan got a job managing the Birmingham team. Wash- ington will have Nick Altrock’s face at one corner of the infield and that of Al Schacht at the other, and so the Amer- ican League race will go on just as it has in the past 20 years. CARDS TRADE MANCUSO FOR CATCHER MORROW ST. LOUIS, January 17 (#).—Robert Morrow, a_catcher, has been obtained from the Rochester Club of the Inter- national League in exchange for Catch- er Gus Mancuso.

McCann Y base ball career has been very » the Major Leagu I managed to get a trial with Evans- ville in the Three-I 'League in the Spring of 1927, but was sent home on the opening day of the season, return- ing to the steel mills. In the middle of the Summer, however, Evansville asked me to come back, and I finished the season there. During the Winter of 1927-8 Evans- ville sold me to the Fort Wayne team for $200, and I started off with a bang, hitting out 28 home runs in 80 games. This attracted the Phillies, and I was sold to them in the midst of the 1928 season. I arrived in Philadelphia in the evening, and the next day Manager Shotton of the Phillies introduced me to all the players before the game. About game time Shotton called me over and said: “Chuck, you're in the line-up today.” Grover Alexander was pitching for St. Louls that day, and I had always admired him. You can imagine that I was a little shaky, starting my big league, career against him! I hit Alex for a double the first time up and then fol- lowed with a single, and I have not been out of the Philly line-up since. When I was first sent home in my initial effort in base ball, the man- ager said: “Kid, u can't time the ball right. You hit too many fouls,” (Copyright, 1930, North American Newspaper Alliance.)

Popular in Berlin. Schmeling is a popular figure among Berlin fans, though he has lived here only three years, coming by way of Hamburg _and Cologne from Klein Luckow. Though it may smooth pride to be hailed as “Max de Grosse boxer” by pretty fraulein and urchin alike, there are drawbacks to this wide repu- tation. Thus, when asked why he ap- peared in the telephone directory as “Max Schmeling, artist,” he explained that this classification saved him money, though, for a while, it concealed his identity. “Every one knows that an artist has no money,” Schmeling grinned, “but every one belleves that a boxer has more than he knows what to do with. Now the tax collectors, seeing me listed as an artist, would not even bother to visit my house, but when they know I am & boxer they come sure enough. It worked for two or three years, but now when the papers publish that I have $250,000 guarantee in America—ach! I have to pay plenty!” Herr Schmeling guffawed and drank his coffee. Neither before nor during his five years of fighting has he used alcohol or tobacco. He likes to sit in a “konditore” from which he dis- patches an adoring brother on divers errands and with messages to “mamma”—with whom he lives and who ssems to worry as much about him as if he were an adolescent and fragile ;:uunn“ur—md where he can talk with nds. ‘The rush is one thing about America he does not care for.

It marks the second year that the Robins have sent Max to Toledo, where he batted .350 last year. The Brooklyn club mailed out con- tracts to 37 players today. Those who will give the most trouble over perhaps will be Arthur (Dazzy) and Floyd C. (Babe) Herman. Vance, after winning a $25,000 con- tract last Spring, had a disappointing season, and the Dodgers are expected to make a cut in his salary, which Dazzy may or may not decide to accept. Herman is basing his arguments for a substantial increase on the fact that he led National League hitters for some time during the 1920 season and wound up the campaign with an extremely healthy average of .381. Whether the By the Associated Press. ARIS, January 17.—Yvon Trevi- dic, an 18-year-old youth from Brittany, is probably the young- est boxer in the history of the prize ring ever to get a crack at a title. His chance comes tomorrow night when he meets Frankie Genaro of New ‘York, generally recognized world cham- plon in the fly-weight class at the Velo- drome d'Hiver over the 12-round route. Trevidic, a red-headed, . fiery fly- weight, turned professional & year ago after he had cleanéd up all the ama- teurs in France. He has scored 19 vic- tories out of 20 fights, 8 of them by knockouts, and one on & decision. The twentieth fight was a draw. Genaro, who has been suffering from & boil under his right arm pit, had to ask for a postponement after an opera- tion, as the battle originally was sched- uled for January 11. He does not yet appear in the pink of condition, but nevertheless is favored to defeat the youngster at odds of 8 to 5. Genaro's right to the world flyweight championship is in dispute in this coun- try. The little New Yorker holds the National Boxing Association’s 112-pound guarantees, on the other hand, he bears with easy resignation.

The list o entrants includes all the shining lights of the pro fleld, with the exception of Tommy Armour, who returned East after the Los Angeles open, and also some of the Nation's best Simon-pures. Gene Sarazen, former national open champion, who has not participated in the Winter campaign in Southern Cali- fornia, came from New York to attempt to get a cut of the money here.
