Classified C-1 Biloxi Weather Retarding Griffmen : Harridge Predicts Big Year for Ruth CLUB OTHERWIE | ALL TO BE ASKED Bump Hadley’s Tummy Ache Not Serious—Armbrust Is Hard to Melt. BY JOHN B. KELLER, Staff Correspondent of The Star. ILOXI, Miss., March 7—With the second week of work at| the Nationals’ training camp nearly ended, everything is Jovely excepting Bump Hadley's tummy and the weather. The shunky Lynn pitcher pulled up yes- terday with an ache in the middle | end it had rained here off and on | since Monday. “ Nothing serious in Hadley's {llness, | says Trainer Mike Martin. It was | something that Bump ate, no doubt, | that resulted in the indisposition. The pitcher was back at the ball park today for a light workout. The weather situation is something | to cause concern, however. A down- | pour yesterday forced the Nationals to wait until afternoon to go through ‘ their training chores and then the drill was held in a drizzle. It was warm, though, which. perhaps bene- | fitted the players to some extent. The Biloxi Chamber of Commerce is all wrought up over the weather prevailing at camp. Last week it was &0 cold the Nationals could not go through lengthy drills. After a| pleasant Saturday and Sunday a rain | set in and this morning the sky still was overcast. An Ordeal for Armbrust, | HE poor weather has not prevent- I ed the pitchers from flinging their arms into shape, but it has kept the athletes from getting | in a lot of general conditioning work. | The ball yard has been too soggy | for the players’ customary jaunts. something they need to bring their underpinning around. Trainer Martin has not begun to worry much about this state of affairs as yet. Another aay or two of rain, however, and the rotund Miguel will be asking the Weather Bureau andf the local chamber of commerce what it 1s all about. Some of the boys still | sport considerable avordupois around the midsection and that they have no chance to run off this extra weight quickly 1s irksome to Mike. ! Most overweight in camp is Orville | Armbrust, the right-hand chucker | brought up last year from the Chat- tanooga club. In playing trim Orvie says he tips the scale at around 190. The last recording on the scale at the Biloxi Field Club House showed | Armbrust toting 202. And he is| finding it punishing to shed the flesh. | Martin'has Armbrust on a strict diet. | No pie, no ice cream, no milk, “al- | most no nothing,” says the pitcher. | And during his workouts Armbrust | ‘wears two ieavy flannel shirts and an oil skin jacket to induce free per- spiration. Orvie really suffers at drills. Thomas Training Well. ' N OIL skin jacket also has been | handed to Al Thomas for daily | wear at the ball yard. Al did| right well by himself at the table dur- | ing the Winter and as a result has | plenty to tose. He is responding nicely | to the rigorous training routine mapped | by Martin and in another week should be fairly trim. Sam Holbrook, the catcher pur- chased from Chattanooga, is another that Martin has his eyes on. Sam is right bylky. He claims he rightfully | ‘weighs around 200, but can't convince | the trainer this is correct. So after | catching a half-dozen of the hurlers | Sam goes through sessions with the | medicine ball and gets his jog around the big ball yard. Generally the squad is in as good condition as could be expected at this stage of training. Barring a few sore | legs the men are sound in limb. There has been no arm trouble and those complaining of ailing props perhaps will have worked out the soreness in another day or two. Pred Schulte, Heinie Manush and Preddie Sington, outfielders, and Buddy Myer, infielder, are expected today. Cecil Travis may get here ahead of the time set for the infield- ers to report next Monday. President Griffith has been informed that Lyn Lary, the new shortstop, is on his way to camp to talk over salary terms. Looks as if all the infield will be here by the end of the week. CRACKS BIKE RECORD Bartell Timed at 80.58 Miles an Hour by Three A's. LOS ANGELES, March 7 (P).— Frank Bartell, Brooklyn bicycle rider, was clocked at 80.58 miles an hour by American Automobile Association | timers. Bartell said the mark eclipsed the best previous performance of 76 miles an hour, set by Torchy Peden, Cana- dian cycler, at Minneapolis three years 8go0. 20 Years Ago IN THE STAR f HE Nationals again yesterday had to work indoors because of the weather at the Char- lottesville . training ° camp.

By the Associated Press. INTER HAVEN, Fla.—Gerry Nugent, president of the Phillies, taking a long, squinting look into the fu- ture, can see nothing less than fourth place or better for his team this season. As the first formal practice ended yesterday, Nugent declarcd only three teams, St. Louis Caras, New York Giants and Chicago Cubs, have an edge—a slight edge—on the Phils. “If anything should happen to player or a bad break in the weather, Nugent said. T. PETERSBURG, Fla.—Another overflow crowd was looked for to- day as the Braves put on their first practice game this season. The crowds that have been haunt- ing Waterfront Park since Babe Ruth’s arrival will be disappointed, how- ever, if they anticipate seeing the big fellow in action. Ruth, Maranville and Hogan are slated for a day of rest. A came up to their first combat test today, a seven-inning intra- camp tussle. Manager Charlie Grimm assigned Fabien Kowalk, Hugh Casey, Clay Bryant and Frank Coleman to show their stuff, and named Lonnie Warneke as the standard for com- parison.

VALON, Calif —The Chicago Cubs Cardinals’ batterymen have ad- vanced so rapidly during four days of training that the outfielders and infielders will have to look at curves of near-midseason proportions Most of the regulars arrived last night. Joe Medwick and Ernest Or- satti. holdouts, are missing. TAMPA, Fla—Two of the Cin- cinnati Reds were on the hospital list today.

AKELAND, Fla.—Even the pitch- | ers are hitting in the Detroit camp. Elden Auker, who will be | one of Mickey Cochrane’s regular | hurlers in the coming pennant fight, | blasted out a four-base clout, while Hank Greenberg, who aspires to suc- ceed Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig as the home-run king of the American League, pounded out two doubles.

IAMI, Fla., March 7.—Promises of strictly sub-par golf over the long links of the Miami Country Club drew the season's largest gallery today to the opening matches of the eleventh annual in- ternational four-ball tourney. The Scots, Tommy Armour and Bobby Cruickshank, were 4-to-1 favorites among the 32 picked profes- sionals. But Denny Shute, who won last year with the veteran Al Espinosa, and his present partner, Jimmy Hines, started some lively speculation when word got around of their practice new course record with a best-ball of 61, 11 under par, for 18 holes. RIPLEY TO LEAVE YALE. NEW HAVEN, Conn., March 7 (®). —Elmer H. Ripley, Yale basket ball coach since 1928, said he had sent his resignation to the Athletic Associa- tion, to take effect immediately after the Harvard game in Cambridge, Mass., March 16. Ripley came to Yale from Georgetown, where he had unusual success with the basket ball All Up to Foxx, Declares Connie. 'ORT MYERS, Fla., March 7.— Connie Mack, veteran man- ager of the Athletics, pins his pennant hopes on Catcher Jimmy Foxx in a pre-season appraisal of his team. “Our fate rests on Foxx,” said Mack, as his squad resumed prac- tice today. “If he is the catcher I think, we will be in the but if he fails behind the bat has to be taken from that posi= tion, then it looks as if we are doomed to the second division.” ' By the Associated Press.

RADENTON, Fla.,, March 7.— The Florida base ball camps are buzzing with come-back hopes this Spring. along with the parennial ambition of the rookies, but none carries more drama than the return of Charley Gelbert. Gelbert’s left foot was nearly shot off in a hunting accident more than two years ago, abruptly cut- ting short the career of one of the greatest shortstops in the major leagues. Gelbert today is roeming his old spot in the infield of the St. Louis Cardinals with agilitf, speed and confidence that is nothing short of amazing as well as a tribute to surgical skill. A week of practice has strength- ened, rather than diminished, the prospects of his come-back. He's certain of a utility infield job this year, at least. and also he has a future as an athletic coach. He already has signed as freshman foot ball coach with Gettyshurg College for next Fall. SEEmEE R MILLING TAKES FIGHT. CINCINNATI, March 8—Varias Milling, Los Angeles featherweight, scored a 10-round victory over Orval Drouillard of Windsor, Ontario, here last night. PRESS BOX Torrance, Able to Toss Piano Around, So Putting Shot Is BY JOHN ACK TORRANCE has been called the most perfect athlete in the world, or, to be more accurate, the athlete who has come clos- est to realizing the maximum physical potentiality of the human race. That sounds great. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but I do know that Torrance is one of the biggest and most impressive looking parties I ever saw. When you shake hands with him your duke disappears in his like a dime in a coal-hole. When he sprawls out on the bed in his hotel he covers it from end to end and from side o side, like a quilt. Torrance is 6 feet 6 in height. He weighs 296 or 297 pounds. His hand is the size and shape of a well-seasoned Westphalian ham. He has put the shot 57 feet 17/32 inches. His best mark with the discus is 164 feet 3 inches. In a spare mo- ment he has tossed the 56-pound weight over a bar 15 feet 8 inches high, which is & world record in spades. Beating Own Shot Mark Aim. TORRANCI never stopped to think of himself as the most perfect athlete in the world. “How do you figure that?” he in- quired. “Well,” explained your correspond: ent, “a fellow named Hamilton, w] ‘used to coach Glean I\ Real Fun for Him. LARDNE 'has just written a piece where he says that you and Bill Carr have come closest to perfection in your different events. He says that your shot-put record is the nearest any athlete has come to man’s limit of energy and physical power.” This was a long sentence. Torrance paused a moment to ponder it. “I don’t know,” he said. “I think T'll throw the shot more than 58 feet some time this year. “It may not be till the end of the year, but I think I can do it all right.” Torrance always stops working two or't.hree days before a meet. “The shotput takes everything out of you,” he said. “I like to have three days of rest before I go into action. Then I have all my strength.” Calls Mickal Best Back. A LL of Mr. Torrance’s strength is & great deal of strength indeed. The roving mountain from the South must have scared his opponents to death when he was playing on the Louisiana State foot ball team a few years ago. He played tackle. He played before Huey Long took the team over, or else he might be a State Senator. . Speaking of foot ball, Torrance rates Abe Mickal as the best back of the season of 1934, There is no comparison, he says, between Mickal and his arch-rival in Mm, Monk Simons. - i ' can do everything,” the loyal Mr. Torrance.

By the Associated Press. : Max Schmeling, the former | world's heavyweight cham- ; pion, encounters Steve Hamas, | former Penn State College athlete, in their 10-round heavyweight battle Sunday he may have his work cut out for him keeping away from a barrage of heavy punches. Topping off his training exercises yesterday, the Wallington, N. J., youngster displayed unexpected hitting power as he battered three sparring partners in two-round sessions. Coun- tering the straight lefts which Schmel- ing favors with jarring uppercuts, Hamas managed to give one of his mates, the English heavyweight, Car- vell, a couple of black eyes despite a protective mask. Schmeling concentrated on speed and footwork in two fast rounds of sparring, but he uncorked a few devas- tating punches that promised no good for the American.

John La Rowe, age 67, hap- | ;pens to be the head coach of Virginia's |boxing team. And Virginia's boxing | team, unless we are looking in a |cockeyed manner at the records, hasn't lost a boxing meet in five iyears. This record has been built | up against the stiffest sort of opposi- | tion, including the Navy, where they know how to handle leather and | where they have the ablest sort of | coaching under Spike Webb. John La Rowe, over 60 at the time, went to coach Virginia’s young leather throwers without salary or without contract. For the last five years his Old Do- minion boxing teams have mopped twice. That seems to be something to shoot at. After ali, a good boxer needs even more than a good foot ball player when it comes to the main art of competition. Boxing is a tougher, harder game. Maloney and Kipputh. HAT about Tom Maloney and - ‘Bob Kipputh? West Point had run about last in gymnastics, especially at the tumbling game. Not only last—but a bad last. So young Tom Maloney, at the age | of 18, steps in to see what he can do about this somewhat melancholy situation. As a result, Tom Maloney’s West Point gymnastic teams have won 22 straight meets with a display of skill that has out- classed all opponents. Bob Kipputh is Yale's swimming ' coach. Swimming misses the pub- | licity that foot ball draws, but it is | far more important to be a good swimmer than a good foot ball player. ‘You can use the former art or science all through life. Foot ball days are over before you learn what life is all about. Bob Kipputh's Yale swimming teams have won 137 consecutive vic- tories.

PLANT Just Another Player if He Had Remained a Yankee, Says A. L. Prexy. BY EDWARD J. NEIL, Associated Press Sports Writer. EST PALM BEACH, Fla, March 7.—Perhaps it isn't the smartest thing in the world to go around boost- ing the other fellow’s business, but ‘Will Harridge, president of the league that lost Ruth, conceded frankly to- day that the Babe probably is in for a robust season as a Boston Brave. “If he'd stayed with the Yankees as a player,” said the American League head, as he dropped in casually for a word or two with the Browns, “he'd probably have been just another out- fielder. “But this change of scenery, the inspiration he’ll get from the fans all over the National League circuit, this starting all over again in a new league will do wonders for him.” Wanted Justice for Babe. T'S with the deepest regret that Harridge speaks of the passing of Ruth, one of his personal heroes, from the league where he achieved fame. He has said before that there was nothing else to do. The Babe rated his chance to become a manager. | There was no such chance available in the American League, therefore, in | all justice, much as it hurt, the Babe | had to have his release. “It will be quite a shock seeing the Babe in National League flannels,” he sighed. “I'll hate to see him on the other side of the fence. He's been our great attraction for so long. Now we’ll have to look to Schoolboy Rowe of the Tigers, or, perhaps Lou Gehrig of the Yankees, as his successor. But there is. and there ever will be, only one Ruth.” Harridge also admitted that the grief over departure of the Bambino may become even more acute when the Babe swings around the National League circuit for the first time with the Braves. May Help Entire Game. - E'LL fill every park in the league.” he said. “And if he can continue to play regularly, which is necessary if he’s to remain the great attraction. he'll be doing another great thing for base ball as a whole. “He'll stir up tremendous interest®™ all Summer in every town he plays, facing every pitching star in the Na- tional League. The excitement hell create will help all base ball.” Harridge. on his annual vacation with Mrs. Harridge, has seen only one American League squad. the Browns, and he thinks Rogers Hornsby's team greatly improved. He said he heard lots of nice things from base ball men about Cleveland's chance this vear. He thinks six teams will be fighting it out in dog- eat-dog fashion all Summer. He couldn't hazard a guess as to the ultimate winner, and he paled a little at the suggestion of a Ruth- inspired gang of Braves qualifying to meet his champions in the world series next Fall. “Gosh.” he said, “what a hummer :E_nt wfuuld be, and what a terrible ing for Tom Yawkey and his Sox in Boston.” 4 e COURT RESULTS Local Teams.
