Raw Rookie Hurler Impressing Cubs : Little Base Ball Leagues Doing [} HENSHAW MAY HOP UP FROM CANPLS Varsity Southpaw Makes UpE in Brains and Spirit for Lack of Size. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. | CHICAGO. April 6—The Chi- | cago Cubs don’t know ex-| actly what to make of Roy Henshaw. Fresh from the University of Chicago and with no | - professional experience, Henshaw; was signed by the Cubs as a pos- sible prospect, several seasons re- moved from big league skill. Henshaw had nothing much to recommend him in the way of size or | record. He weighs less than 150 and is only 5 feet 8 inches tall, somewhat of a duplicate of Dickie Kerr, the old- time White Sox southpaw. With a poor | Chicago University team, Henshaw lost more games than he won. At the Cubs’ training camp Henshaw was known as the boy who never spoke except to ask questions about base ball. | Interclass Meet Holds Attention, | THE EVE Fesler Rated Big Asset to Harvard STERN CONFERENCE ath- letic leaders are certain Har- vard University made an ad- mirable selection when it named Wesley Fesler head basket ball and assistant foot ball coach. At Ohio State, Fesler was one of the most versatile athletes the Big Ten has produced in a decade. Fesler might have been successful in professional base ball, but after a brief time in that sport he preferred to devote his future to collegiate athletics. Harvard will like Fesler, for he is one of the highest type fellows to be found. With Fritz Crisler, Tad Wieman and Earl Martineua at Prizceton and Fesler at Harvard, the Western Conference is developing an excellent representation in Big ‘Three athletics. GALLAUDET GIVING EFFORTS TO TRACK Although Small Grid Squad Is Working Daily. PURSE IN SECOND - FAMOUS RAGE CUT American Derby Joins With Preakness in Reduecing Sum to $25,000. By the Associated Press. HICAGO, April 6-—Purses of two of America’s most famous three-year-old turf specials, | the Preakness and American Derby, have been trimmed from $50,000 to $25,000 this year. The Preakness Stakes prize was cut more than a month ago. The Ameri- can Derby, the blue ribbon event of the Washingten Park season, Chicago, was reduced yesterday as the American Turf Association opened a slashing campaign of purses. - Of the three other big three-year-old events for 1933, two, the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes in New ITH the weather more favorable | and their annual interclass meet | He worked hard and his earnestness im- pressed Manager Grimm. In the early | camp games Henshaw showed a very | effective fast ball and plenty of confi- dence. Needing a southpaw badly, | Grimm tossed the kid against major | league and class AA batting. To the| surprise of every one, he proauced some | fine pitching. HEN the Cubs were playing the | New York Giants, Henshaw heard the Bruin veterans talking about | Carl Hubbell’s screw ball. So one after- | noon ‘when Hubbell was shagging fly | balls in the outfieM he was approached | by the Cub rookie. “Mr. Hubbell, I am just a green kid. but I wonder if you would mind show- | ing me how to throw a screw ball”| asked Henshaw. | Hubbell said he would be glad to| hand out a little instruction and for | more than an hour he and the Chicago | kid worked on the delivery. A few days | later Henshaw was throwing a fair| screw ball and now he is working hard | to perfect that style of pitching. +TT'S just too much to hope that a | youngster can jump from a college team to the big league without any seasoning,” related Bill Veeck, the Cub president. “but Henshaw has so much native skill, intelligence and earnestness that we are beginning to hope he may be one of those rare birds who take the long hurdle. If he should come through he will mean a lot to the Cub chances.” The Cub leader is not worried about the hitting and defensive ability of the team, even with Cuyler out for 10 weeks. But the pitching staff is caus- ing scme concern. WOMEN IN LACROSSE HERE | First Fair Sex Team in Capital Organized by School. ‘Washington has its first woman’s la- crosse team. It has been organized by the Washington School of Physical Education and drills are being held on the Monument grounds. Elizabeth Morrison is the coach. There are about 20 in the squad. ‘There are several teams in Baltimore and Sweetbriar College Vi is said to have one, but the squad work- ing here is the first ever to represent & District institution. slated a week from Saturday,| Gallaudet tracksters are stepping up | the pace. | Last year the sophomores, led by| Capt. Jimmy Rayhill and Emil Ladner, | won the meet, with the preparamry; class, now the freshmen, second. | The preps, with Jack Montgomery | in the dashes. John Caligiuri and Earl Tollefsor in the weights and Cowboy | Burnett in the distance events, hqwe‘ hopes of upsetting the dope and win- ning the meet. Burnett, a Utah boy, has had little experience, but is un- usually promising. In addition to Rayhill and Ladner, the frosh are figuring on Tcm Delp | and John Leicht to score in the field | events. Leicht also is a hurdler of | ability, but has had little chance to| practice because of his studies. Charles | Whisman, a slight youth from Indiana, | also is expected to get points for the freshmen and give Bob Travis, the juniors’ lone entry, a battle in the half mile. Travis, incidentally, is versatile. He runs the 100 and 220, in addition to the 830 and is a high and broad jumper. 'The seniors for the first time have no entries. They won two years ago, when Johnny Ringle, now graduated, rolled up 29 points and Andy Mack | scored 8. Mack has been down with| grip, and it is doubtful if he will be able to compete. As usual, Coach Teddy Hughes short on quarter-milers. Rayhill is the | only member of the squad who seems to like this event. Hughes also has a squad of about 15 Kendall Greeners at foot ball prac- tice. He s striving to ground his pro- teges in the fundamentals, to develop their speed and to get them acquainted with the Hughes style. He would have more men working but fer the fact that several gridders are on the track squad. Hughes is not discouraged by the poor showing of the 1932 eleven and is build- ing for the future. A. A.

A. U. York, have not been trimmed ffom the $50,000 figure. No announcement has been made as to the size of the Arling- ton Classic, richest of all three-year-old stakes, which is run at Arlington Park, Chicago. Those close to the Arlington management say & cut will be made, but will not make a guess as to how much. HE values of other stakes to be run off at Washington Park also were cut yesterday as ‘the American Turf Association, under Col. Matt J. Winn, made good its promise to trim expenses. The Ilinois Oakd, worth $10,000 last year, was reduced.fo $5,000; the Memorial Handicap, worth $10,000 in 1932, was trimmed to $3.000 and will be run at Lincoln Field, Chicagd. The $5000 stakes at Washington Park, including the Thomas Curran Memorial for two-year-olds, the Rob- ert M. Sweitzer Handicap, the Wash- ington Park Handicap, and the Debu- tante Stakes, were cut to $2,500. Last year, the Washington Park Stakes car- ried $87,500 in added money. Under the new retrenchment policy, they will be_dropped to $41,000 for 1933. No stake dates were set, but the American Derby is expécted to be run on June 3 or 10.

EW YORK, April 6—Kerry Patch, surprise winner of the $100,000 Belmont Park Fu- turity last Fall, may be just a flash, but Leo Rosenberg, the colt's owner, feels confident the son of Des- perate Desmond will lead the field down the stretch at Churchill Downs, May 6, when the Fifty-ninth Keniucky Derby is run. At Belmont Park, little Joe Notter, himself a great jockey nearly 20 years ago, is carefully preparing Kerry Patch A cough, which is going the rounds of the horses in training at America's “Newmarket,” slowed up the colt’s con- ditioning for eight days. Today, how- ever, he appeared strong as ever as an exercise boy galloped him around the track twice and then breezed him 6 furlongs. Although not a big horse, the Rosen- | berg colt put on weight during the ‘Winter and appears built to go the route. Notter, who rode Regret, the only YES you can BAYUK PHILADELPHIA PERFECTO filly ever to win the Derby, is not as confident as Kerry’s owner, but he ad- mits the colt may be hard to beat if he has recovered sufficiently from the cough to stand hard training again. Up to 10 days ago it was planned tos race him early at either Havre de Grace or Lexington. “We have not decided definitely on Kerry's campeign,” said Notter. “Much depends on what happens within the next few days.” Rosenberg, elated over his horse’s werk this morning, fairly beamed with | optimism after the colt was led back to his barn. “He’ll be back on schedule within a few days,” he said. “A couple of races under his saddle and he’ll be ready to win the Kentucky Derby.” Although winning the richest purse of 1932, Kerry Patch was far from a consistent performer. In five starts after taking the Futurity, he finished second twice, third as many témes and was fourteenth in the Pimlico Futurity. He was five lengths behind the Quincy Stable’s highly regarded Repaid in the Juvenile Champion Stakes at Aqueduct. A year ago it was doubtful if Kerry | Patch would reach the post as a 2-year- In old. . Notter was advised by other train- ers and veferinarians not to_race the colt as He had bad knees. Rosenberg even favored firing the colt's knees be- fore attempting to race -him. - Notter, however, finally ' Dersuaded Kerry's owner that the colt would stand training. He doctored the horse's knees with a liquid furnished by Rosenberg, which, although blistering, cured the kay colt of any evidence of soreness.

DEFINITE REVIVAL SEEN FOR MINORS Situation Held Especially| Hopeful in South. and Mid-Atlantic States. BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR., Assoctated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, April 6.—Minor league base ball, which absorbed its full share of the slings and arrows of outrageous rortupe in the past | year or so, appears to be going | through- a definite revival this Spring. 5 Concerted efforts have been made all through -the, country, with the backing of the major leagues, to bring back the minors. There have been several set- | backs in this program, but in the Mid- dle Atlantic States and in the South | especially the situation is very hopeful. | The New York-Pennsylvaria League | and the Mid-Atlantic circuit have blos- | somed out as faster circuits and with | the break-up of the Central League the Mid-Atlantic has found itself with | more prospective members than it can handle. | HERE some of the clubs failed to last through the season a year ago, an organization meeting Tuesda; definitely gettled on four West Vir- ginia citles, three in Ohio and one in Pernsylvania to form an eight-club | circult. Clarksburg, W. Va., and Cum- berland, Md., which had withdrawn from the league, threatened legal ac- ticn because they were denied readmis- sion. Fort Wayne, Ind., a former Cen- tral League city, also wanted. to join. ‘The members are Wheeling, Hunting ton, Charleston and Beckley, W. Va. Johnstown, Pa., and Springfield, Zanes- ville and Dayton, Ohio. The New York-Penn League boosted its classification from B to A to give its. fans a batter . brand of base ball and shifted one franchise | frcm Hazelton to Reading, a former Internaticnal League city. Down In the South the Piedmont | League also has improved its standing a bit with the admission of Richmond, which failed to get along iri the Eastern League when most of ‘the othet cities were in New England. A new Dixie League also was formed ‘with teams in Baton Rouge and Shreveport, La.; Jackson, Miss.; . Eldoradp,, Ark., and ;“yln, Longview, Henderson and Waco,, ex. 22 FFORTS to revive the old South At- lantic League fizzled badly; and an attempt to bring back the Eastern League as a New England circuit were deferred for a fear. New England, however, will get some base ball-in a league among the smaller cities which | has just been formed: ¢ The big change in Southwestern base ball was made some months"ago when | the Tgxas League took over Okiahoma | City and Tulsa, League, a move which undoubtedly gave | ,over Wally in order || Okih.,front the Westerr i the Texas circuit a strong line-up. Comeback:.. 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR OE FLETCHER, Charles Diller, John Burke, Anton Butts, Ar- thur Beauverd. John Bladen, Malcolm | Mellington, L. Bowman and Harry Ernest ar¢ among. those mentioned in Rod and Stream news. Belmonts have a three-game ad- vantage in the District League. The leaders are Halley, Michaud, Far- row, jr.; Dunn, Baum, Elliott, Kee- ler, Stanford, Rider and Fowler. Chick Gandil's single brought the Nationals victory over the Boston Braves in their exhibition game here yesterday. The Braves are looking Pipp, crack Catholic University first baseman. Georgetown defeated Cornell at base ball, 8-3. Fienle pitched clever- ly for the Hilltoppers, who, as & team, showed improvement over re- cent games; Umpire Ed Handiboe, who has handled the Nationals' exhibition games here this Spring, will leave tomorrow for Milwaukee to attend a meeting of American = Association umpires. Harry Collifiower, former big-league arbiter, probably will um- pire the two games to be played here with the New York Giants. Lynn Logmis pitched steadily and Burton Shipley stole four bases for the Maryland Aggies as they defeat- ((‘:dt Rock Hill College, 5-3, at Ellicott ity. Gallaudet nekt Fall will play the hardest gridiron schedule in the an- nals of the institution. George Washington University and the Maryland Aggles will be met along with others. Representative E.
