CUTS NEARLY TWO SECONDS OFFNARK Nips Hornbostel in 2:10.1. Kansan Also Captures Mile in 4:14.8. By the Assoclated Press. EW YORK, March 16.—Glenn Cunningham, world's foremost miler, proved master of Chuck Hornbostel, Indiana’s great middle distance runner, tonight as he smashed the world 1,000-yard record by 19-10 seconds in the Knights of Columbus indoor track and field games in Madison Square Garden. Cunningham was clocked in 2:10.1 as compared to Hal Cutbill's 13-year- old mark of 2:12. Taking the lead from Glenn Daw- son of Skiatook, Okla., national title- holder at the distance, near the end of the first lap, Cunningham ran a front race to beat Hornbostel by 3 yards. Dawson was 30 yards back in third place, followed by Elton Brown of Pittsburg, Kans., Teachers. Cunningham again showed his superiority over Gene Venzke as he came back an hour after setting a world record at 1,000 yards to beat the Pennsylvanian by 3 yards in the classic Columbian mile, The Kansan was timed in 4:14.8, far back of his world indoor record of 4:084 made in winning the event last year Owens Twice Trails.

First, I am convinced the world series victory of the Cardinals, featuring the Dean boys, re- vived interest all over the country, and, secondly, I believe Babe Ruth will prove a tremendous drawing card with the Boston Braves Pinally, I look for the experiment in night base ball to prove a big success from every standpoint.” MANGIN IS RULER ININDOOR TENNIS Beats Bell in U.

ILOXI, Miss,, March 16.—John McKittrick Redmond of Mesa, Ariz, and points West, who | came to the Nationals’ train- —=" |ing camp liftle heralded, now has | more than a fair chance of becoming | the club's first-string catcher. This | somewhat surprising statement came | from Manager Bucky Harris today. With Cl Bolton, a hard hitter, and Samuel Holbrook, up with a good record as a batter in the minors, around, Redmond, who clubbed at only a .212 rate for Birmingham in the Southern Association last year, was not given a tumble even as Harris did his early planning for a catching staff. Redmond, however, has revealed such great ability as a receiver and in the batting drills banged the ball in a way to convince on-lookers he is much better than a .212 swinger at the plate that Harris believes the Washington club has a “find” in this purchase from the Barons. At the outset of the training grind here those in charge cf the Nationals freely stated that Bolton was to be | the top-notch catcher this year.

INNER of the championship in 1932 and 1933, Mangin, one the hardest hitters of the game on boards or turf, was forced to bow to Bell's soaring service, but the “New- ark bulldog” made up for this de- ficiency with a dazzling net attack and from the forecourt accounted for no less than 52 smash and volley placement point winners. { In this respect he had a margin of 12 placements on Bell.

BY JOHN B. KELLER, (Staff Correspondent of The Star.) ILOXI, Miss, March 16.— Still smarting from the sound spanking given by the Albany club in the ex- hibition series inaugural, the Na- tionals will take another shot at the International Leaguers to- morrow with high hope of sweet revenge. In the Sunday tussle at Gulfport, the Albany club's camp, Bucky Harris' bunch will have the benefit of pitching more seasoned than that in the first fray and a more favorable finish is plans are wholly left-handed. Two ex- Southern League portsiders are to do the hurling for the Harrismen. ‘Those nominated for hill duty are Leon Pettit and Syd Cohen, both Chattanooga farm products. Pettit probably will pitch the first five frames. Again the Nationals will aid an Albany club which has not been in training long enough to have its hurlers well conditioned, but this time only one chucker will be loaned to the epposition. Ray operation means the south- paw's big league debut will be delayed one season, and he probably will play l Prim, left-hander, recalled from the International outfit by the Nationals, will toil for his former pals in part of the fray. Maybe Ed Chapman, former National, will show some of his right-hand stuff. Next week will be an active one for the Harrismen. addition to the game at Gulfpolt tomorrow four others are listed, so the Wash- ington club will have only two days to itself at Biloxi field. The Nationals from now on will play themselves into trim for the flag fight. Albany will be encountered for the final time Tuesday on the field here, then the Nationals will tackle an outfit :n their own class. Walter Johnson will bring his Indians over from New Orleans for engagements Thursday and PFriday. On Satur- day the Harrismen will go to ‘Mobile to start a two-game series with the Kansas City club, which is in train- ing there. After the tilting tomorrow, The big-timers of the Washington slab will be sent out to show if their arms still have the old snap. Man- ager Harris says Ed lfimke, the blocky Chicago boy whose once “dead” arm seems fully alive again, and Al Thomas will do the throw- ing Tuesday in the Albany series finale. Jack Russell, Monte Weaver, Bob Burke and Earl Whitehill have been assigned tentatively to the Cleveland set-tos. a Harris plans to schedule two pitchers a game during the tilting before camp is broken, but soon after the club begins its homeward trek he expects to send the veter- ans of the corps over full routes. During the Johnson and Cronin managerial terms oldsters of the ‘Washington slab staff got no nine- inning workouts beforé the season opened. Harris proposes to work along different lines. He wants to know and wants his pitchers to know whether they can work in championship season form before the regular season starts. ‘Taking advantage of the won- derful weather prevailing at camp today, Harris sent his charges through an extra-long workout. Coach Johnny Kerr kept the out- flelders busy chasing towering fun- goes while the manager himself as- sumed charge of the’infleld prac- tice. A batting drill lasting nearly two hours followed with all of the veteran pitchers taking turns at serving the leather to the swingers. Harris is well satisfied with the condition of the Washington squad. There are no sore arms among the pitchers and no leg strains have been reported. The only player at all under the weather is Bump Hadley. The chunky Lynn chucker still complains of a cold, but he manages to do a lot of throwing at the ball yard in the morning and get in a lot of golf in the afternoon. The battles for the center fleld and shortstop posts still rage. Al Powell, the Washington boy bought from the Albany club, looks a great ball player in every way. He is fielding in flashy manner and stinging the ball with a vengeance in batting drills. But Fred Schulte looks better than ever since join- ing the Nationals and is making a great fight to retain his place in the middle garden. This scrap probably will carry on to the start of the pennant race. Lyn Lary, picked up from the Red Sox, goes great guns in the shortfield. In the daily drills he teams with Buddy Myer in double- play pivots and relays smoothly and deftly. But he shows no more hit- ting strength than Ossie Bluege and Ossle still flelds in his cus- tomary grand manner. All the hitting among the shortfield can- didates is being done by Red Kress. He is swinging a wicked bat and also is doing no poor piece of work afield. Red is not to be counted out of the battle quickly. A few more games and Harris will have a good line on his pitch- ers. The weeding-out process will begin before camp is broken here. Two or three of the less promising recruits perhaps will be shipped next week. for nine hits in four innings to de-| feat the National Leaguers, 5 to 0, walk, and an error, to score three| Three young Sox pitchers, White- | kept their | | Orleans Pelicans today to win an ex- | hibition game, 8 to 1.

CHICAGO, March 18 (#).—Thirty- two teams from 13 States were paired tonight for opening games of the twelfth annual national Catholic in- terscholastic championship, basket ball tournament starting at Loyola Uni- versity next Wednesday night. week, has been the most troublesome | | 272-mile-an-hour record with his tires | Jimmy Hines and Tommy Tailer, | New York team, went into the | finals of the national amateur-profes- | | championship chase gets under way at Washington a month from today. | And if Harris is any judge of a play- er’s ability at bat—which generally he |is credited with being—the recruit | from Birmingham will make the | grade. | Fast on His Feet. EDMOND has a firm stance at the plate, and he swings freely. He has hit for distance in the batting drills. Jack has looked at some honest pitching, too, not mere throws that any kind of batter could |slam. Today he faced Earl Whitehill | when the southpaw was mixing some | high - grade curves with fast stuff. | Whitehill was quite fast, but Red- | mond met solidly both the curve and the high, hard one. The recruit gave quite a fine hitting exhibition for a left-hand batter | swinging against one of the best left- | hand pitchers in the business. It was an exhibition so impressive to Har- | ris that the manager decided then |and there to pay a lot of attention |to Redmond from now on. “That Redmond stands at the plate like a I batter and he's hitting like one” | Harris observed as he saw the re | cruit repeatedly line the ball to cen- | ter and right. “I know he can catch, and if he can show me some of that hitting in the training games he can be a regular catcher on my club.” Redmond has a stalwart build. He stands nearly 6 feet and weighs close to 190. He is aH good solid muscle, too. There is no sign of flabbiness. Jack has a great whip in his right arm. He gets the ball away fast and in the infield drills has been remark- ably accurate with his throws. And he has something rare in a catcher— speed afoot. He can dust around the bases. | Milan Tutors Him. E HAS been around professional base ball four years. The Pirates plucked him from a semi-pro club on the West Coast and shipped him to the Western Associ- ation. He was plenty green then, Jack admits, and was shunted about the minors considerably before he struck his stride. He has been in the ‘Western League, the Three Eye, the Mississippi Valley and the Southern. The Reds bought him out of the | Three Eye circuit and promptly shipped him to the Mississippi Valley loop. Last year he was sold to Bir- mingham. Under Zeb Milan's guid- ance, Redmond developed into a high-grade receiver and he probably would have hit at a good clip with the Barons last season but for a flock of broken fingers. He played through a four-week stretch once without be- ing able to grip the bat firmly. Jack did not know at the time that two fingers on his right hand were cracked. His hands are in good trim now. He can hold the bat properly and he can swing it, too. If he continues fo swing in the exhibition games he very likely will swing himself into a regular place with the Nationals. —_— 14 BIKE TEAMS LISTED.
