EW YORK, February 4—A| bit shert of its usual array of foreign track and field stars, but “long” on out- standing American performers, the twenty-sixth annual Millrose games at Madison Square Garden tonight bring back the big-time indoor track season with all its old-time glory. The program of 24 events boasts only Erik Ny of Sweden, Olympic 1,500- meter runner, and Bert Pearson, sprin- ter from Torento, to lend international flavor, but altogether there are 17 Olympic athletes, at least one for every invitation event, and a whole flock of national and college champions. An even dozen relay races are scattered through the program, bringing out tcams from most of the leading East- ern colleges and Ohio State and Mich- 1gan Normal from the Midwest. he Wanamaker mile, with Gene Venzke, world indoor record holder. secking to gain permanent possesslon‘ of the trophy against a field which in- cludes Ny, Ray Conger, the Northfield, Minn., school teacher, who has won the event three times; Glenn Cunningham of Kansas, the first American in the Olympic 1,500 meters, and Leo Lermond of Boston is the high spot of the big Ppregram.

Jarvis Adams of New York, 6—1, 6—4, while Grant defeated Gustavo | Vollmer of Cuba, 6—4, T—5.

HICAGO, February 4.—Welker Cochran, dark-haired, shiek- ish-looking billiard star of San Francisco, today had m check for $8,000 tucked away in his wallet as a reward for winuing the world three-cushion billiard champion- ship last night in his very first attempt to master the most difficult of all bil- llard games. Cochran won the undisputed title by S SmeriES Ngse 10 fmes Bolde of the championship, 50 to 33, in 38 innings. Cochran swept through the tournament, losing only one of the nine games. Lay- ton will play Jay Bozeman of Vallejo, E;lu. Monday in the play-off for second nol briliant San Francisco billiard- ist received $5,000 as first prize money plus $3,000 as 16 per cent | of the gate receipts of the tournament. In addition, he was presented with a $1,000 diamond medal, emblematic of |° the title. Now that he is champion, Cochran intends to cash in on the glory and will immediately launch upon an exhibition tour, which, he expects, will net him another $20,000 before the season ends next Spring. Cochran, who was born in Mansion, Towa, 37 years ago, has been playing billiards since he was 12 years old, When he first began handling the cue in his father's billiard establishment. He was known as a boy wonder, and at the ag of 16 was playing the masters of thd game. When he was 15 years old he competed in the National Balkline Bil- liard League. OCHRAN always has been a dan- gerous foe in 18.2 balkline billlards, and in 1928 won the title, defeating the German, Eric Hagenlacher for the championship, only to lose it the same year to young Jake Schaefer. This, however, was his first try for three-cushicn honors, and the way he took the master of the game, Layton, into camp last night left no doubt as to his ability. He played with a nerve of steel and the technique of a master. He beat Layton at his own game—that of playing it safely—and gave the Mis- sourian one of his most disastrous de- e feats.

BY ALAN GOULD. Associated Press Sports Editor.

He has been a member of the club for 20 years. The Dodgers also announced today receipt of the signed contract of Ed Pip- gras, recruit pitcher. Pipgras is a brother of George Pipgras, veterah hurler for the New York Yankees. Charles (Red) Lucas, “work horse” of the Cincinnati Reds’ pitching staff, has balked at a $3,000 slash in the salary of $14,500 he was paid last season. Lucas, who pitched more complete games than any hurler in the National League in 1932, said he would c8nfer with Owner Sidney Weil soon. New York Giants continue their dizzy pace in signing players. . Freddy Fitzsimmons, bulky pitcher, who had evidenced some dissatisfaction with the terms the club offered him, signed on the dotted line yesterday. Pittsburgh's Pirates added Tony Piet, sensational young second baseman, to their list of signed players. ‘Two players who figured in off-season trades signed with their new bosses.

It is reported Jose Jurado, star of the Argentine professional brigade, who visited the United States last Summer, is arranging to bring a team of his countrymen to the States for a try at the United States Open and also a duel against a squad of Americans led by Walter Hagen. ‘The growth of golf in the Argen- tine and the popularity of Pampas professionals in Great Britain has led to the suggestion among British players that perhaps an interna- tional team match between British and Argentine teams, similar to the Ryder Cup play, may be arranged. Or it is possible that eventually the deed of gift for the Ryder Cup might be altered 5o as to permit the Argen- tines to compete against the British and American teams. Jurado, Marcus Shurico and An- ton Perez now rank among the best professional players.

BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, February 4.— Having turned over to the city and county of Los Angeles nearly $500,000 representing profits from the Memorial Coliseum since the Fall of 1923, the Community Develop- ment Assoclation goes out of existence. Meager dispatches chronicling the above facts have come from the West Coast; but more should be told because the achievements of the C. D. A. have been as signal factors in the develop- ment of sports as in the furtherance of Los Angeles not only as an athletic center, but in many ways economically satisfying. . The history of the Community De- velopment Association is a sort of American epic and, being 50, I be_told. gk Back in 1920, when we were first in this lovely city, they were discussing plans to enliven the city, to straighten out some of its problems and to make it beyond question or cavil of any other community the metropolis of the West. It was not long before bankers, mer- chants, newspaper publishers, real estate men, politicians and others agreed upon a progran. They formed the Community ~Development Association, Inc., a non-profit organization commite ted to the project of furthering the in- terests of Los Angeles in particular and Southern California in general. TH:B prime objective was a play- ground of the West, a carnival city of unparalleled scope and grandeur. Parades, flestas, ordered holiday re= Joicings, athletic contests were ene visioned. Zack Farmer, then just ree turned from the war, formerly a newse paper reporter, was appointed executive ;’:rl’;tlry. and every one got down to Results were almost immediate, but not altogether satisfactory. The shows put on were well worth coming miles | to see—which many did.

Now the city, county and State owned a plot of ground within the city limits known’ as Exposition Park. The C. D. A. people went to the various authoritics come cerned and sold them the idea of do- nating the ground for the erection of a coliseum to be owned and operated Tm.s is the place where Southern California plays her home foot ball games, and draws more than 100,- 000 spectators at $3 and $4 top.
