BY R. D. THOMAS. SPORT-HUNGRY crowd of | 5,000, bent for the nonce on good-natured raillery, wouldn’t give Prof. Charles 8. Richardson opportunity to tell all the interesting facts about the University of Maryland's sparkling new fleld house, dedicated last night to Gov. Ritchie, but stand- ing out today is a point of mo- ment the popular teacher of pub- lic speaking probably wouldn't have touched on anyway. Watch for a boxing boom! [ Basket ball had a big inning last | night. Nearly twice as many people as ever saw & battle in this sport be- fore in the South Atlantic sec watched the Maryland team down the Navy, 26 to 15, but hundreds in the record throng, and particularly those concerned with sports in general, bor- dered on ecstasy in describing Ritchie Coliseum as the answer to a prayer from the boxing game, so long denied facilities, while the Washington ad- }'nl’!nu of the fistic sport yearned for t. There are 4,262 seats in the new plant for basket ball, to which perhaps 1,500 or more could be added for box- ing, and every one of them top-hole. Already plans for & national amateur boxing tournament are going forward and the Coliseum has been made avail- able to the Washington Bicentennial Commission sports department in the event it decides to stage a ring at- traction to bolster the exchequer. Champ Pickens, who has in charge this feature of the Bicentennial, is sore put to raise the wherewithal to operate. Champ took one look at the coliseum and hastened to the Maryland au-| thorities with a request that was readily granted. If a suitable card | may be arranged and the higher-ups | in the Bicentennial organization favor | Base Ball Fears Airship Holdout By the Associated Press. HICAGO, January 21.—American Association clubs may produce a new kind of base ball hold- out next season—the player who re- fuses to fly. As Thomas Jefferson Hickey, president of the class AA loop, studied the proposal to ship the clubs from park to park by air to- day, he admitted some difficulty would be encountered with those players, who think flying is about as safe as a groove ball to Babe Ruth. “No doubt, we will have some aerial holdouts for a time if we go through with our plan to use planes,” President Hickey said, “but I don't think we will be troubled very long. When the Columbus team flew last Summer, two of the players refused to fly. They were sent on by train, but flew the next time - with the rest of the boys and liked it. Of course, we can't compel any player to fly. All we can do in such cases is to do like we did at Columbus—Ilet them take a train.” American Association club owners, at a special meeting yesterday, adopted a 168-game schedule to open on the Eastern front April 12 and close September 25. The season will open two days earlier and close two days earlier than last year with the same number of games to be played.

Eastern now is heading the race, with three wins in as many starts, and Tech is second, with two victories and one loss. Central, which stands third and will be idle in the series tomorrow, al- ready has completed first-round play, with two triumphs and two defeats. Business and Western, fourth and fitth in the race, are expected to put up a bang-up game. Business by win- ning would tie Central, while a West- ern victory would create a fourth-place deadlock ~between the Stenogs and Georgetowners at one win and three losses apiece. Western will go into the game with- out the services of Bill Payne, regular center, who, it was learned yesterday, probably will be out for the remainder o: the season with a broken rib.

EW YORK, January 21.—It may be difficult to convince the average duffer, but golf, in the opinion of the Nation's sports experts, simultaneously involves more luck and skill than any other branch of athletic activity. i ‘They agree that these two factors are the only ones involved in the pursuit of the royal and ancient game. Foot ball leads all the rest, where strategy is concerned, and rowing is considered to require more strength and stamina than any other sport. These are the principal results of | an Associated Press poll of sports editors' and writers' opinions. The views are widely divergent as to ‘whether golf requires more skill than base ball, or, in fact, Whether tennis is not entitled to the call over either. On the basis of votes, golf leads with 24, base ball comes next with 19 and tennis is third with 17. But that's where the debate begins. N the side of base ball the argu- ment is advanced that it takes a greater all-around combination of capabilities to be successful at this sport than is the case in golf. It is pointed out that Babe Ruth can turn from base ball to shoot a fine round of golf. So cew many other ball play- ers, whereas tue golfers who could perform well on the diamond, even in ordinary company, are few and far be- tween. Moreover, base ball calls for all the concentration and co-ordination of golf, plus speed, strength and Te- sourcefulness. Although you hear more often of the “preaks” in base ball, the ganle of golf is considered twice as lucky. The vote on this element of competition shows: Golf, 34; base ball, 15; horse racing, 12; foot ball and basket ball, 7 each; fishing, 3. By those who mentioped it, horse racing, however, is considered to have the highest percentage of luck, better than 80. N the question of strength or stam- O ina, Towing is at the head of the list by & good margin. The vote shows 27 in_favor of the crew men, 18 for wrestling, 14 for boxing, 12 for foot ball, 4 each for basket ball and long-distance running, 3 for ice hockey. There also is a vote for weight lifting and another for the 440-yard run, toughest of all foot races: “Foot ball ranks first in the require- ment of strategy,” writes George White of the Dallas News, “the result usually depending about 60 per .cent on correct diagnosis of the enemy's strength and weakness, & claim that is fairly well substantiated by results of important games, especially those in which little or unheraided teams. beat the big shots. Of course, chess or checkers might be given preference if you care to sports. them as lst | St. Albans, According to Vote of Scribes Chess, as & matter of fact, gets two votes and contract bridge one. Other- wise the vote as to strategy shows foot ball, 57; base ball, 14; boxing and ten- nis, 4 each. HAITI IN OLYMPICS Will Send Track, Revolver Teams to Games in Los Angeles.

They have picked the 10 best pictures of the year, the 10 best performances and the 10 best directors. Sport hasn't the same rigid qualifications, but it is pos- honor roll idea, just at this changing- of-the-guard period. It might be hard to name the 10 best s{:"mn( pictures of 1931—you would s with the Schmeling-Stribling fight, more particularly that climatic last round, and then add the dramatic | pause on the eighteenth green at In- verness, as George Von Elm holes a 12- foot putt to tle for the National Open Golf Championship. ‘Then recall the pageant in the shad- ows of Bartlett’s Cove at New London, as a victorious Harvard crew snaps Yale's rowing reign, and see the two inert Elis collapsing over their oars ‘stfll a quarter-mile from the finish. The comeback of Outmet brought no single enduring picture to remem- ber, but when Bill Hallahan went into the box with two out in the ninth in- ning of the seventh and decisive world series game there was a gripping spec- tacle. But aside from these few, and the stirring challenge of Top Flight in the Futurity, which crowned this filly the greatest of her sex,it.1s hard to single out photographic masterpieces = which are still sharp. But individual performances through the year do stand out in bold .outline. There were more than 10 gréat ones. Only a few will be approved by every follower of sport as worthy of top rank, but in this list will be found some of them.. And some particular attribute of each one has lifted it far above the routine level. 1. Pepper Martin's totally unforetold domination-of the world series. In hit- ting, base-running and flelding, this un- heralded spear bearer of the Cardinals | stole the show from the Titans—Grove, | Fexx, Simmons and Hatey. ' 2. Gene McEver's comeback in foot ball after an operation, which in other cases was rarely successful and which | compelled him to change his entire style |of play. From a dancing, swaying cli- | max runner, the Tennessee Flash came a rugged blocker, a superb passer and a power player whose value to the team was increased rather than dimin- ished. 3. Max Schmeling’s demonstration to a hostile coterie of hoxing folk that he has the stuff of which champions are made. Criticized and lightly dismissed after winning the title on a foul from Sharkey, Schmeling had his assignment set for him at Cleveland, and when Stribling’s supremacy in the early rounds was sounding the note for the anvil chorus to break out again, the German came on to win, and win glori- ously. 4. Albie Booth’s story-book exit in the Harvard game. Baffled and checked twice by the arch enemy and being humbled a third time, Booth bowed des- tiny to his will by an icy-nerved, one- man act when he drop-kicked the win- ning points in the Harvard Stadium. His reputation was to stand or fall on that effort, and he delivered. Varied Sports | Basket Ball. University of Mayland, 26; Navy, 15. Dugquesne, 34; Catholic University, 31.

In itself this particular contribution may not_seem one of the season’s greatest exploits, for it took all of a savage Southern California team to give Baker his opportunity. But looking at the matter from another angle, had he falled, Notre Dame probably would have completed a third undefeated season, the lustre of one of foot ball's greast | combinations could never have been applied, and the departure of the fa- | mous Trojan seniors would have been a sorrowful dirge. Baker had to play his part perfectly to make the pattern of the whole season come out right. 6—Red Woodworth'’s outboard motor boat victory in the Albany-to-New York race. This dramatic feat has probably been almost forgotten, but remembered with its preliminaries it takes rank with the most exciting happenings of the year. Woodworth, who played a mighty game in Northwestern’s foot ball line during the 1930 season, and always with his flaming -thatch unprotected by a helmet, drove overland to Albany from the Middle West, towing his boat, and proceeded to his tuning-up task without getting any sleep. Then he beat the most famous experts in this hazardous branch of sport, displaymg totally un- | suspected skill in weatnering the long grind at high speed. 7—Burleigh Grimes' pitching success in the world series. precedence as a memorable feat over Grove's brilliant season-long record, because Grimes rose to the occasion, while Grove's standard was disappoint- ing in the crisis. Not once, but twice Grimes rallied his seasoned arm and wily sagacity to mow down the mur- derers’ row of present-day base ball. 8. Helene' Madison’s clean-up in the swimming realm. It used to be consid- ered proper and ladylike for a young girl to be modest about accepting hon- crs, but this Pacific Coast mermaid has blotted out all opposition, making all records hers and dominating the swim- ming scene for the entire year. 9. Top Flight's sweep of the 2-year- old realm on the turf. Here’s another lady who doesn’s know when to stop, and she didn’t mind going against the supposedly stronger sex. The Whitney filly was victorious seven times in seven | starts, at all distances, from 5 fur" longs to a mile and 70 yards, and with | $219,000 to her credit already, holds | the all-time money-winning mark for racers of her sex. By all odds the best performance of the year in horse racing. 10. The Burke-Von Elm matter at In- verness. They must be linked together, for although Burke's performance in outlasting his rival is history-making, Von Elm’s holing of two 12-foot putts under pressure was magnificent. Once gould have been memorable, as was | obby Jones’ similar feat on the last green at Winged Foot in 1929, but to do this twice qualifies Von Elm for mention in this gallery of outstanding perform- | ers, regardless of the outcome of his match.
