SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY, FE BRUARY 11, 1932. Return EVERS AND WELSH MAKE PREDICTION Old-Timers Say Slugging Due for Decline, With His- tory Repeating. BY GEORGE CHADWICK. EW YORK, February 11.— Take it from two old dia- mond stars, who ought to know, base ball is going back to a more scientific game, with less slugging and the out- fielders are coming into their own again. Johnny Evers—the same Johnny who won fame in the Tinker-{o-Evers-to-Chance com- bination—and Mickey Welsh, one of the best outfielders the Giants ever had, have been out of base ball for a long time, but they are still keen observers of the game. “The outfielders are going to do some real fielding,” Evers declared emphat- 1cally. “You are going to get some base ball in the next two years and more, where the outfielders are not hired to sit on the fence.” By which Johnny meant that the out- fielders’ would not have to play so far back most of the time that a near- sighted fan couldn't see them. They | have been doing that for almost 10 years—driven to the wall by the long- range swatters, S*YIREE swinging at the ball is on the decline and the game is going back W to a scientific basis,” sald Mickey Velsh. Mickey recalled the days of Willie | Keeler, the most skillful forearm type of batier ever developed. Keeler could “spot” the ball with a bat as well as most players could “spot” it by throw- ing it. Keeler once told a New York news- paper man who asked him the secret of his success with the bat, “Hit em where they ain't.” That was exactly what the forearm batsmen did. They placed the | ball between fielders more often than they knocked it over the heads of the fielders. The result was one sensational | catch after another by a side run or a forward run. 2 Of course, there were long hits that went over the heads of the fielders and there was many a brilliant catch of a Jong fly by expert cutfielders. The fans in the old_days went to the games to see the outfielders make brilliant catches and they were disappointed when they did not see one. | N recent years they have seen an abundance of catches of long flies because the batters have been hitting | the ball hard and high. The slugging | batter always drives the outfielders back. The forearm batter will pull him in and keep him constantly worried as to whether a line drive may not get 50 far to one side of him that he cannot | reach it. More fielding skill is needed for defense against the forearm hitter. | That is what Johnny Evers meant when he said the outfielders would not | sit on the fence in the future. Like | others who have been watching base | ball closely, he has noted the slow de- | cline of the slugger. It was more | marked in the National League last| year than it was in the American League, and it will be more in evidence | this year in both leagues. | Free swinging once gave way to place | hitting and forearm hitting. more than | 40 vears ago, and it will do so again.| Before the World War, the scientific | batter was in the ascendency. When the war was over, base ball began again at just the right time for the slugger. | Conditions were a trifle unsettled and the ptchers became worse unsettled | when they were forbidden to maltreat the ball. That ended the spitter and again started the slugger. Alexandria Notes ALEXANDRIA. Va.

NEW YORK (St. Nicholas).—Joe Malcewicz, 204, Utica, N.

NEW YORK (Ridgewood). — Tiny Roebuck, 245, Oklahoma, threw Dick Daviscourt, 225, California, 22:00; George Manich, 200, New Jersey, and Ralph Wilson, 206, Philadelphia, drew, 53:00 (bout halted by New York 11 o'clock rule); George Hagen, 210, New York, defeated Earl McCready, 228, Oklahoma, decision, 30:00; Oke Shi- kima, 200, Japan, threw Frank Rees, 198, Germany, 15:20; Renato Gardini, Czechoslovakia, 16:45; Tony Rocco, 200, Italy, threw Joe Danz, 205, Ger- many, 15:10. S MATBOUTT ONIGHT Roebuck Is First Earnest for Ed Since Joining Curley Troupe. UST to determine in their own minds whether Ed ‘“Strangler” Lewis may some day climb into the same ring with Jim Londos, | now that he has decided to play ball with Jim and his mates, and topple the Greek, Capital wrestling folk will trek to Washington Auditorium tonight where the “Strangler” will buck up against Tiny Roebuck, who was an all- American foot ball tackle while at Haskell Institute. The show will get under way at 8:30 o'clock, when the first of five matches will start. Roebuck, a much-improved grappler, represents Lewis' first real test since | the erstwhile king of the ear-scram- | bling industry joined the Curley-con- | trelled caulifiower circus. Roebuck, by way of polishing up for the “Strangler.” | tossed Dick Daviscourt in New York | 1ast night. | The match will be & two-hour time | limit affair, one fall to a finish. Pre- | vious to joining the Londos-championed circuit Lewis wrestled two-out-of-three falls as a rule. Should he suffer a lapse of memory tonight and forget to win the first fall there won't be two more | left for him to get even. That would throw cold water aplenty on his hopes for a match with Londos, whom he claims to have tossed a dozen times. A supporting card including several grapplers who generally appear in fea- ture matches will round out perhaps the most attractive bill ever booked for ‘Washington. Fred Grobmierer, hook-scissors artist. | will oppose John Maxos, second ranking Greek matman, in the semi-final. Fritz Kley, wrestler-contortionist, will tangle with Jean LeDoux in one of the 30-minute preliminaries. In another Matros Kirilinko will tackle Alois Kaut- zki, a newcomer, while Sammy Stein and Alex Aberg, another newcomer here, will whale away in the third prelim. Contrary to the usual custom, women will not be admitted free tonight. KOCSIS AND LANDERS HEADLINE FIGHT CARD Hungarian Champion, Rated Fifth Best 118-Pounder, to Show at Alexandria Tuesday. ALEXANDRIA, Va. February 11.— Antol Kocsis, Hungarian bantam and fiyweight champion, will appear against “Sailor Billy" Landers. two-headed Norfolk scrapper, in_ the eight-rou feature of the Alexandria Day Nurser: ring show at Portner's Arena Tuesde: night. Kocsis Is rated as the fifth best 118- | pounder in the fight game and is being touted as a contender for the title now held by Al Brown. | Frankie Mann, matchmaker, is” angling | for a snappy semi-wind-up. Gabe Novas, local Filipino flyweight, | who created a stir here some time ago| = when he won both of his appearances on Day Nursery cards by the knock- out method, will go against Young Kid McShea of Camp Meade, Md., in one of the preliminaries. Billy Essinger, who “kayoed” Jack Lamar two weeks ago, has been re- matched to face Lamar again. —_— GOLF LEADER DIES. WINNIPEG, Manitoba, February 11 | (#).—Charles E.

Garden Mulls Offered Land for Structure to Seat 100,000 in Exchange for EW YORK, February 11— Officials of Madison Square Garden are studying a prop- osition for a stadium to seat 100,000 persons. The arena would be situated in an outlying section of Brooklyn. In some ways the proposition is the most attractive | placed before the Garden of all the numerous projects for such a sta- ! dium. ‘The owner of the plot of land available for the stadium offers the | Garden a long lease without charge, except the right to peddle peanuts and frankfurters and control all other concessions. Thus the Gar- den’s only expense would be the cost of erecting the arena. Even with a steel and concrete ' arena, it is figured that the cost to the Garden over a period of years would be much less than now is paid out by the corporation for the i use of the Polo Grounds and the Yankee Stadium. Recently the Garden studied prop- | ositions for similar arenas in Jel sey City and in Queens. Club offi- cials are said to consider either of these locations more accessible than Arena Bargain Concessions. the one in Brooklyn, though the cost of the land and of erecting a stadium would be greater than in Brooklyn. However, in spite of all the talk about building a stadium, the Gar- den has closed with the Polo Grounds and the Yankee Stadium for the use of the ball parks this Sunmer and has scheduled the Schmeling-Sharkey heavyweight brawl at the home of the Yankees 205, Italy, threw Alois Kautsky, 218,/ 1S TEST FOR LEWIS Loving, & SCHOOLBOY QUINTS HAVE FULL SLATES Several Are to Play Here To- morrow—Go Away for Saturday Tussles. ITH the public high school champlonship series history, schoolboy basket ball here- about has lost some of its zip, but will continue to attract plenty of attention for two or more weeks. A flock of attractive contests remains to be Yhyed, a number this week end. Several teams will invade Virginia. Eastern, public high title holder, will meet an old rival, Gonzaga, tomorrow night at_Gonzaga at 8 o'clock. The Lincoln Parkers are figured to win as Gonzaga, which was not overly strong at any time this season, has recently lost several good players, who severed connections with the school. The I Streeters usually play in inspired style against €astern, though, and mfi own court may offer & much T fight than expected. In other games hereabout tomorrow St. John's and Landon will meet at Landon, Emerson and Business at Busi- ness and Church Farm School of near Philadelphia and St. Albans at the Cathedral school. St. John's and Emer- son are picked to triumph. Nothing is known of the strength of the Church Farm School team.

There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruff completely and that is to dissolve it. Then you destroy it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, ordi- nary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. * By morning, most, if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and two or three more applications will com- pletely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and dxfging of the scalp will stop instantly and your hair will be lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and ding's look and feel a hundred times better.

By the Associated Press. EW YORK, February 11— He drives automobiles at 245 miles an hour, yet one of Sir Malcolm Campbell's favorite hobbies is gardening. Campbell, now en route to Day- tona Beach, Fla., where he will at- tempt to add a few miles per hour to his world automobile speed record of 245733, likes a restful atmosphere. But apparently only at home. He has won world fame with his feats of driving racing cars at break-neck and another of his favorite pastimes is cruising in his small ocean-going cruiser, run- ning the boat himself. He also likess to hunt buried treasure. In addition to these hobbies, Sir Malcolm finds time for his family, his horses and his dogs. But first of all comes the garden. E lives at Povey Cross, Surrey, about 35 miles from London. His house, another of his many hobbies, is more than 500 years old. When he took over the estate it had no garden. Now there are several. And whenever Sir Malcom can put aside his work and his various other hobbies he can be found in his shirt sleeves, puttering around among the flowers and vegetables. At times a caller would have difficulty dis- finmhmg between the man who has sent huge racing cars hurtling over the sands to one record after another and the gardener who is regularly employed on his estate. At his home at Povey Cross Sir Malcolm follows two other hobbies, breeding Alrdales and Alsatians and fussing with riding horses. His dogs come ahead of his horses. IR MALCOLM once described Lady Campbell as “a fine young lady who puts up with a husband who at a moment’s notice may go off to the other side of the world.” Another “fine young lady” who holds a very warm spot in his heart is his daughter, aged 8. His son is 11 years old. Although he does most of his voyaging on swift ocean liners, the holder of the land speed record loves the sea at close quarters. His boat is & 28-ton craiser. ‘When there are no speed records to be broken and the cruiser fails to satisfy his urge to keep moving Campbell HEADQUARTERS AUTO HEATERS | L.S.JULLIEN, Iuc. 1443 P 5.

EW YORK, February 11.— England, cradle of modern boxing, has been trying for weary years to find a heavyweight capable of reclaim- ing the championship of the world. One by one the British hopes have crumbled. The clever ones, like Phil Scott, lacked the required ruggedness, and the rugged ones, like Tom Heeney, a New Zealander, were lacking Iin the skill necessary to mount the throne. How galling it must have been to our British friends when Max Schmeling, product of a country | that knew nothing about boxing & few years ago, took over the title. Now there are new hopes in London that better times are coming. The hero of the hour is Donald McCorkindale, South African heavyweight, who be- came a tremendous favorite overnight by holding Larry Gains, Canadian Negro, a big shot in Europe, to & draw | in Albert Hall. | McCorkindale afforded an enthusiastic audience the unusual spectacle of & Brit- ish heavyweight coming from behind in the closing rounds to stave off defeat by a great fighting rally. No wonder the London fans, accustomed to seeing Reg- gie Meen and others pass out before the final rounds were reached. cheered themselves hoarse when the young South African put on that blazing finish. Within a few weeks the South African is expected to carry the war to Amer- ica. Maybe he will prove to be another disappointment, but it is to be_ hoped that he will stand up. A sturdy English ender would be a tonic for the di- n. HE war between the New York Boxing Commission and Max Schmeling officlally came to an end when the champion and his man- agers, Joe Jacobs and Billy McCarney, all were given licenses to operate in this State. “No use kidding, commissioner. I'm surely glad to get my New York li- cense back.” said Jacobs to Chairman Jim Farley. “Being barred here cost e a lot of coconuts.” Jacobs placed on file a certified copy of his contract with Schmeling. exam- ination of which revealed a hitherto unknown provision—that the manager guarantees the boxer $100,000 & year in return for the privilege of 33y per cent of Schmeling's earnings. 0 wonder Jacobs is so keen to have 3 o plenty of fighting. Though how Schmeling would be able to collect $100.000 from Jacobs if he did not make that much is a problem beyond the powers of the best minds of the sock market. With neither team ever leading by over 3 points. th> Twelfth Street “Y" 4 ors beat the Junior Elks yesterday, 35 to 34. At half time the losers were ahead, 19-16 Elks' Juniort Chase.
