he Foening Htar SHporls Win, Lose or Draw By FRANCIS E. STAN. Happy Birthday on the Tanbark Jumping spirited steeds is not for the panty-waist, but it is one of the few sports—don’t ask us to name another—in which women stand an equal chance with men. On this theory is predicated the feature of the President’s Birthday Horse Show, opening tonight at Fort Myer’s riding hall, and Miss Margaret Cotter was saying that she had an idea this would be the year for the gals. Naturally you know of Miss Cotter, a daring little lady who weighs 108 pounds and who shares. with her famous Rocksie, the national open Jumping championship. She is one of the quartet of lady riders who will form The Star’s team in the two-night jousting with a picked male team. If you don’t happen to have a ticket for tonight you will have to have no less than presidential pull to get into Myer’s hoss arena, but you may want to know something more of what the best hunters and jumpers and riders in the East are going to do as their contributions to warfare against infantile paralysis. They are going to ride and jump and prance for silverware and blue ribbons and somewhere along the line Miss Cotter, Mrs. Fred Hughes, jr.; Miss Sara Bosley and Mrs. W. Haggin Perry are going to try to prove they can outride the men. Now these men aren’t just four Johnnies who know how to find their ways into saddles. They are four of the best riders in the business—Lf. Fred Hughes, jr., of Fort Myer; Gordon Wright of Scarsboro, N. Y.; Sam Bogley and Maj. C. B. McClelland of Myer, captain of the team. Any quartet able to outride these fellows is a real team, male or female. Calling for the Best in Humans and Horses Of course, much will depend on the mounts, too. Horses have off- nights, same as humans. We recall a day last summer when we talked with Miss Cotter at the Meadowbrook Horse Show, shortly after Rock- sie had lifted his mistress 6 feet 8 inches in the air for a new amateur record. Miss Cotter was getting ready to charge onto the tanbark in another of her dramatic duels but long before the bar was placed at 6 feet Rocksie was eliminated. It just wasn't his day. Miss Cotter thought that he simply was careless. This could be so because not long after this incredible mount and his more incredible rider soared over a bar 6 feet 7% inches high. ‘These people who are riding to stamp out infantile paralysis tonight and tomorrow aren't going to be mounted on any hobby horses. Al- though his coat is long and shaggy and he hasn't been schooled since being turned to pasture following the heroics at Madison Square Garden late last year, Rocksie will be handled by Miss Cotter. Prince Tex, most impressive of all in schooling lately, will be ridden by Miss Bosley. Mrs. Hughes will be up on Hi Ho, who needs no introduction in this neck of the woods, and Mrs. Perry, who is a mite of a person, will hop aboard a glant called Thunder Boy, a beast of 18 hands. Those won't be goats the man will ride, either. Even the casual reader knows of Smacko and Black Caddy. He may even have heard of Ringmaster and Lew Dunbar. These are jumping critters, folks. It will take the best riding and the best jumping in humans and horses to bring s decision. Both Sets of Rules Called Fair for All Miss Cotter thinks the women have an equal chance. “We may have just the tiniest bit of an edge in horses,” she said, gallantly, “but there’s really no way of predicting anything. T'll say this for the com- mittee that arranged the event—it's one of the best Jobs of matchmaking Y've ever heard of in the horse show world.” What part does a horse play? What part does a rider play? We put these questions to Miss Coiter and she seemed to think it was & 80-56 matter, like marriage. “The horse has to have confidence in his rider,” she said, “and the rider must get all he can from the horse. Really, it's too involved to be boiled down as, say, baseball or b_oxing." (Miss Cotter is not an admitted all-around sports authority snd; of course, baseball and boxing can’t be doped, either, but, notwithstanding, | 2 d WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1942. Duffy, Baseball’s All-Time High Batter, to Be Rewarded After 47-Year Wait Boston fo Fefe Player Who Hit At .438 Clip Williams of Red Sox, Yanks’ Di Mag Also To Be Honored By BILL KING, Associated Press Sports Writer. BOSTON, Jan. 28.—After waiting in modest silence for 47 years, Hugh Duffy, the peppery veteran who set baseball’s all-time high batting mark of 438, will be publicly ac- claimed when the Boston baseball writers award trophies to such modern sluggers as Champion Ted Williams of the Red Sox and Joe Di Maggio of the Yankees tonight while dining with 800 of their readers. Williams, who expects to be in- ducted into the Army within a few days, has been ordered to stay close to his Minneapolis draft board. As a result, he has delegated Eddie | Collins, his club’s general manager, to accept the Jacob C. Morse Me- morial, a trophy awarded annually to Boston’s outstanding player, in his behalf. Di Maggio, however, has promised to be on hand to receive the Paul Shannon Memorial Trophy which commemorates his astounding feat of hitting safely in 56 consecu- tive games for the current world champions. Dedicated to Old Writers. Both awards, fixtures on the writers’ banquet programs, are dedi- cated to oldtime colleagues. Morse, one of the earliest of the baseball | scribes, originated the present scor- | ing system and Shannon, another veteran, was president of the Base- | ball Writers Association of America when he died. | The writers’ |award, for Boston's outstanding | rookie, has been voted to Dick Newsome, who pitched the Red Sox to 19 victories. Mere verbal praise, however, will not suffice for Duffy, for his press box admirers also have prepared a surprise for him. The dinner’s keynote speaking | chores have been assumed by United States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, who tops the long | list of orators to be introduced by Toastmaster Arthur Sampson of the Boston Herald. Other Speakers on List. | Among the others on Sampson's | list were President Bob Quinn of | the Boston Braves, Lefty Gomez of | the -Yankees, Hugh -Muleahy; the Philadelphia Nationals pitcher who was one of the first major leaguers “other regulation the lady has a point there.) 5 | to enter the service; Tommy Hoimes, 1t seems that, among other things, certain rules can help one horse and hurt another. Tonight, for instance, the two teams will use Amer- can Horse Show Association rules. If a horse ticks a bar, even without knocking it off, the horse suffers. Tomorrow the Federation Equestre Internationale rules will be in effect. Under these a horse may tick with- out penalty. “Some horses tick but never knock down a bar,” explained Miss Cotter. “Others either go clear or knock down the whole works.” She pondered for a few moments, weighing the peculiarities of Hi Ho, Black Caddy, Rocksle, Prince Tex, Smacko, Ringmaster, Lew Dunbar and Thunder Boy, and then said: “As far as I can figure, it's about even as Jong as we use both sets of rules.” How About the Arena Washington Needs? This is the second straight year the women have met the men, and 12 months ago the men won with ease. Maj. R. B. (Larry) Lawrence, one of the gents behind the guns, insists the women can win this year, and Larry, along with others, points to last year's box score for verifica- tion. It seems that Miss Cotter, unable to ride after a serious fall in 1940, served as a substitute in her first comeback appearance and helped the women to defeat the men in the final day of competition. The margin of victory wasn't sufficient to overcome the men's lead, but it was whittled down and tonight the guys and gals will have to start from scratch, so to speak. It's quite & show and it's a sad ommentary on the sporting facilities of the National Capital that it will be held in an arena capable of seating only some 1,700. The people who wo! fill an armory many times as large. uld like to see it undoubtedly would Remind us to write something blistering on the state of such things.

HAVANA, Jan. 28—The Cublnr yacht Kurush IT, manned by Charles | De Cardenas, won'the first race of the series of three for the mid- winter Challenge Trophy of Cuba in the international star class regatta. Cardenas’ boat took the lead on the last lap of the 10-mile 2-lap leeward-windward course after trail- | ing the first half of the race in fourth place. With a moderate sea and north- | east wind, Kurush sailed the course | 1n 1 hour 39 minutes and 11 seconds | to finish 2 minutes and 24 seconds before Harry Nye's Gale, the de- fending champion from the South Lake Michigan fleet. { Ace 1I, skippered by Adrian Iselin | of the Western Long Island Sound fleet, was a close third, 51 seconds behind Gale.

Mrs. Uksila was scored 100 per cent on two of the dances by two of the three judges, all of whom were members of the New York Skating Club. The bronze test con- sisted of the continental waltz and 14-step, while the silver routine called for the reverse waltz, 3-lobe waltz, tango, fox trot and 14-step.

CORAL GABLES, Fla, Jan. 28.— Today’s top-ranking woman tennis players, says veteran professional Elizabeth Ryan, fail to approach the greatness of such stars as Suzanne Lenglen and Helen Wills Moody because they don't use their heads. “They're fine girls, of course” |said the attractive redhead, who |won 19 Wimbledon championsips | before turning pro in 1935, “but for |the most part they have no idea of what the phrase tennis strategy |means. They just powerhouse the ball over, and, except for Sarah | Cooke, they seldom seem to have any particular plan. ‘Thinks War Will Help Sports. “Pauline Betz, for instance. hits | the ball well enough, but she lacks | Lenglen'’s ability to judge her oppo- nent's weaknesses and play to them.” Miss Ryan, resident professional at the Miami Biltmore Hotel here, believes the war will put more women into sports and she is hope- ful that if enough young women | take up the game new stars of the Moody-Lenglen caliber will develop. | "I think more women will play | tennis and golf to become strong enough to handle the tasks the war has put on them,” she explained: She’s seen the masculine and | feminine internationalists come and | g0 for more than two decades, and she doesn't mind telling you that she considers the present American first 10 much below the standard of previous years. | Says Netmen Have Slipped. “It’s the lack of international | competition that's done it,” she said. }"smce Bobby Riggs turned profes- sional there isn't a player in the | country who could give Tilden or | Vines or Budge a run for their | money when those players were on | top. “If you put our top three ama- teurs today against one of Austra- lia’s last Davis Cup teams, with men like Jack Bromwich, Adrian Quist and Jack Crawford, our boys simply would be eaten alive.” WiIIi;nson-Reported New Head Coach of Yale Gridders BY tlie Associated Press.
