SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., MONDAY, ANUARY 23, 193 SPORT S League Idea Grows in Dixie Conference : Track and Field Honors Well Spread MAY BE NECESSARY ‘T0 SAVE BASE BALL Formal Competition Also in Basket Game Seen on the Way. BY H. C. BYRD. ORMAL basket ball and base F ball leagues may be the out- growth of competition in these sports in the Southern Conference. A strong sentiment for league play was shown at the recent conference meeting at Richmond, and there is a possi- pility that, beginning with base ball in 1934, leagues may be in- gugurated. Two or three universities were rather Btrongly against the proposition, but if the matter had been put to a vote it probably would have carried. However, it was felt by those schools that want to begin such formal play that it would | not be practicable to put through a proposition of this kind until senti- ment for it has become practically unanimous. ing over a meeting of athletic Tectors, appointed a committee to con- sider every phase of the matter and | bring in a full report at the next an- | pual meeting. This report may go so far as to draw up tentative schedules. Dick Smith, graduate manager of mthletics at Washington and Lee, is the strongest backer of the project, and | the majority of coaches seem to favor it. It is Smith’s belief that leagues will gromo!c much greater interest in both asket ball and base ball, and base ball, especially, he feels, needs some- thing to help it over the rough spots. As a matter of fact, Smith goes so far as to say that something of the %ind will have to be done to stimulate interest in base ball or the sport in- | evitably is due to be dropped from the | college program. HE story from New York about the | {4 effort of President Marvin of | George Washington University to question the domination of matters that he holds are peculiarly within the prov- ince of the individual universities and colleges by a commission of 15 men undoubtedly represented the feeling among many who expressed themselves | after the meeting of the Association of | Colleges and Secondary Schools of the | Middle Atlantic States held in New York Saturday. What took place at the meeting was not expected to be- | come subject matter for the press, but apparently somebody got hold of this angle of the meeting and gave it a spread. The meeting, according to the | story, was called to discuss the ques- tion of athletic scholarships and vari- ous other matters that might be con- sidered under that head. The writer | was present at the meeting and for | that reason is not at liberty to com- | ment freely on what took place, ex- cept as to what, through other chan- | nels, has become public. However, at another time and in another way a good | deal may be said in this column in reference to the New York meeting n‘nd the subject matter of its discus- sion. IDYEAR examinations are cutting down the list of basket ball games. and other competitions for the next two weeks for local schools. The one game listed between two of the larger schools, though, should be one cf the features of the year, Catho- lic University vs. Maryland at Brook- land Wednesday night. Maryland, in trutk, has two big contests this week, the one with C. U. and the other with Navy at Annapolis Saturday. The Navy game is regarded as about the most important on the whole schedule, be- cause the Navy has one of its best teams and is gunning for the Old Line five. The other two contests in which local schools take part are both between Gellaudet and American University, tomorrow and Saturday. S . JOHN'S of Brooklyn lived up to its reputation by carrying off Georgetown and George Washing- ton scalps. The feat of beating George ‘Washington in its own gymnasium is one that deserves more than ordinary | consideration. Opinions expressed by | those who watched the St. John's five unite in giving that team credit for being the best that has been here this Beason. Maryland came through against Vir- ginia Polytechnic Institute in its double bill without as much difficulty as it ex- pected. Particularly pleasing to the Old Liners was the victory in boxing, as it represented the first over a major opponent. Coach Harmony has done a remarkable job in building up a good team out of a squad that had very little experience. Navy lost to Pennsylvania in basket ball by three points Saturday in_the game it probably wanted to win above any other, except of course the one with Army. Penn was one of three teams that won from Navy last season end Navy wanted to even up that score. — e FINE TWO-MILE TEAM BUDDING AT VIRGINIA| Coach Hahn Has Several Capable New Distance Runners to Back Up Veterans. NIVERSITY, Va., January 23— Archie Hahn, Virginia coach of track, hopes that the Cavaliers will develop a crack 2-mile relay team during the Winter and’ Spring season. He also has his eye on several promis- fng youngsters on his new squad. Two of the best distance men in the South will be on this relay team. They are Capt. Billy Lauck of Fred- ericksburg, Va., and Hunston Cary of Richmond. Va., both holders of indi- ~idual conference track titles. Aldrich Dudley of Middleburg, Va., will be the third man and the fourth will be picked later. A pair of fine distance runners have appeared on the new squad, Coach Hahn has discovered. One is Johnny Briggs of Princeton, N. J., star on the cross-country squad, and the other Robert St. John of Arlington, Va., who played foot ball during the Fall. Coach Hahn expects to have two new high jumpers who will add to the strength of Cavalier teams. John Ed- mundson of Birmingham, Ala,, is clear- ing the bar well on the varsity squad, while James Stipe of Stevenson, Va. s one of the youngsters who is show- ing fine form.

CUBS PAY HEAVILY 10 GET STAINBACK Four Players, $75,000 Given Angels for ’34 Delivery of Outfielder. By the Associated Press. HICAGO, January 23.—The Na- tional League champion Chi- cago Cubs’ roster, which or- iginally includes 32 names, will | list only 28 when practice starts on Santa Catalina Island next month. In order to obtain George Stainback, a young outfielder, from the other Wrig- ley club, Los Angeles of the Pacific Coast League, for 1934 delivery, the Cubs had to put out money in con- siderable quantities and four players. ‘The money was reported to have been $75.000. Three players have been named to sojourn on the coast next year—Outfielder Mike Kreevich, Marvin Gudat, all-around handyman, and Pitcher Ed Baecht. The other will be named later. The first squad will leave Chicago February 20 and will include battery men and young infielders. The rest of the party will take off for the island February 25. The squad in- cludes a dozen pitchers, three catchers, | nine infielders and only four outfielders. And to help out in the business of economizing, six members of the squad live on the Pacific Coast and a couple of them are not likely to make the re- turn trip. Residents of California are Floyd (Babe) Herman, Charlie Root, Stanley Hack, Mark Kcenig and Frank Demaree, while Harry Taylor, recruit first baseman, lives in Seattle, Wash. D. C.

'HERE aren't many fight man- agers who have succeeded in piloting one of their charges into a championship, and still less who have twice succeeded in turn- ing the trick. An exception, among the few cases on record, is that of the subject of this sketch, George Engel, former Pittsburgher, but now a resident of New York City. A few days ago, George, who had the first German-American title holder in Frank Klaus, king of the middle- weights, and later developed Harry Greb, of German-Irish-American parentage, into the world's leading fighter in that same division, quit the field of pugilism for the restau- rant business. There was so little doing in fisticuffs that George de- cided to try his hand at some other line, and opened an eating empo- rium in the heart of New York's GEORGE ENGEL. little Germany, the Yorkville section of Manhattan. Engel will best be remembered in the fight game for his management of Klaus. He forced Frank into the front ranks at a time when the field boasted of such stars as George Chip, Jack Dillon, Eddie McGoorty and Mike Gibbons, by no means an easy task—and through his efforts, George eliminated the objections of the critics and gained for Klaus uni- versal recognition. In Europe and America, Engel became -famous for his knowledge of boxing. It was Engel who first predicted that Ger- many would come to the front in this sport, his conclusions being based on his knowledge of the Ger- man people and the interest they took in boxing after the World War. Since the desertion of the late Harry Greb, who quit George to throw his lot with another manager, Red Mason, Engel has brought over several German fighters, but found them all wanting, and sent them back. He declares he will come out of retirement and re-enter the fight arena when he discovers a German lad with the capabilities of Max Schmeling. Such a boy be believes he will obtain in Neusel, a German heavyweight in the control of Jeft Dickson, but who, when he comes to this country, will be under the guid- ance of the subject of this sketch.

By the Associated Press. EW YORK, January 23.--Activ- ities in the base ball contract market slowed down to a walk over the week end with only a few scattering returns to keep interest alive. The most important developments centered around the New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodge! Continung their TS, policy of one con- tract a day, the Giants announced that Mel Ott, clouting outfielder, had agreed to terms for 1933. The Gretna, La., home run slugger, a veteran of seven yeais' major league experience although he is only 23 years old, mailed his signed contract to the Giants and an- nounced he was in excellent physical condition. Ott batted for a .318 average last season, after an extended hold-out | campaign, and tied Chuck Klein for | the National League home run leader-' ship, each getting 38. 'HE Dodgers discovered they had two new hold-outs on their hands when |~ Hack Wilson and Joe Stripp rushed |into print with announcements that they were far from satisfied. Wilson, | who drew $16,500 for his services last season, was understood to have been cut to $9.000 in the Dodgers’ initial offer. Stripp received $9,000 in 1932 and said he could not see his way clear to accepting a slash of $2,000. LL was serene on the New York Yankee battlefront | Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Lefty | Gomez still awaiting better . Gehrig conferred with Business Man- ager Ed Barrow on Saturday, but no agreement was reached. Gehrig thinks the club went a bit too far in slashing the $27,500 salary he received last year. ) It became known that Infielder’ Eddie Farrell, who spends the off-season in post-graduate dental work, was entirely satisfied with the terms the Yankees | tendered him. 'BETTER EASTERN FIVE ' TO ENGAGE CENTRAL | | Indians to Meet Series Leaders Tomorrow Second Time in School Title Chase.

They meet in the second game of the public high school cham- pionship double-header on the Tech High court. Roosevelt and Western face in the opening attraction at 3:30 o'clock. The card will mark the start of the second and final-round play in the title series. Eastern was roundly beaten by Cen- 92| tral, 51 to 29, in the first half, but in recent matches the Indians have shown impressively. In their last cham- pionship game they conquered Tech, 31 to 27, and now stand second to Central. 'Central has won four games and lost none and Eastern has three victories against its one defeat. Since downing Tech, Eastern has de- feated the University of Maryland Freshmen, 31 to 19, and has swamped the Georgetown yearlings, 36 to 9.

EW YORK, January 23.-e The East in the weigh§ evenis and distance runs; the Midwest in the shorter track events, particularly the sprints; and the South and Far West giving a strong argument to all the champions, but producing few. Such is the line-up of the Nation’s track and field stars as shown by the all-America team selected by Daniel J. Ferris, sec- retary-treasurer of the Amateur Athletic Union. From all over the country, 30 star performers were selected as the all- America aces for the 35 events with the leaders in metric races being picked for the firs, ume. Three of them were picked for two events each and one, big Leo Sexton of New York, holder of the world's shotput record and the Olympic title, filling three places. F THIS lit, 14 Eastern athletes occupied 17 places: the Midwest had cight performers for 10 events; the South had three men and the Far West five, all in single events. Sexton, being picked for the shotput and the 35 and 56 pound weight throws, gave the East a big edge in the weight events while stars from the Atlantic Seaboard were chosen for all the dis- tance runs from the mile to the mara- then with the exception of the 5,000~ meter place, which went to Ralph Hill of San Francisco, and the 10,000 meters, which was given to Tom Ottey of Michigan State. Two Midwesterners divided the sprint places. Ralph Metcalfe being chosen at 100 vards and Eddie Tolan at 100 and 200 meters.
