However they could not get going and it is | not taking one bit of credit from the locals to explain. that the visitors were very tired when they took the floor, for the locais undoubtedly could have beaten them the best day they ever saw. However, as a mat- ter of fact, the Newport lads had played in Naugatuck the night be- fore, winning 35 to 20 and Friday night had been royally entertained by their hosts, a majority of them | getting none too much sleep. Sat- |urday they spent sightseeing and |came here very weary. This same |team defeated Crosby high recently 25 to 13.

The ‘Phantom Finn” will share the spotlight of the week, however, in all of these events with Ugo I'ri- gerio, famous Itallan walker = and Olymple ghampion who makes his American debut Tuesday night, the firts night of the double-barrelled Millrose A. A. track and field car- | nival at Madison Square Garden, which looms as the outstanding ath- letic event aof the winter season. Nurmi’s race on the first night of the Millrose meet over a distance of three-quarters of a mile promises to put the “Abo Auntelope” to one of the séverest tests of his American campaign, This distance is a trifle short for Paavo and will give his opponents, including Joie Ray, Lloyd Hahn, Leo Larrivee and Jimmy Con- | nolly, a better chance to win than at any other mark. The Finn, however, is confident of his ability to triumph that he has mapped out a schedule to break the two- thirds mile record as well as l]|.ll\ for three-quarters. Seeks Wanamaker Trophy On the second night, Nurmi will compete in a mile and a half race for the Rodman Wanamaker trophy, | which has been won for the past | seven successive years by Joie Ray. | The little Chicagoan, who also holds the world’s record for the distance, will attempt to defend his honors, while the other opposition for the in- | vader will include Leo Larivee, | Willie Goodwin, George Lermond and William Cox.

St. Louls, Jan, 26,—Veterans again will be relled upon by Manager George Sisler to place the 8t. Louls " Americans in the championship run- ning this year, Despite several tudln this winter, the Brown's pilot has indicated there will be no substanial change in the team's battlefront, with the possible exccption of the battery staffs. The biggest question mark in the Brown's makeup, in Sisler's opinion, is the pitching staff. He anticipates that if this department. performs anywhere near expectations, the team will . make an exceptionally good showing. Although the absence of Urban Shocker, the Brown's main- stay for several sensons past, will be felt, Sisler believes that the acqyisi- tion of Joe Bush, Milton Gaston and Joe Giard from the Yankees in ex- change has strengthened hls twirl- ing department. Wingard, Danforth, Davis, Grant and Pruett, all mound veterans, will be back, and In addition, several youngsters, including George Blae- holder, who had a good scason with Tulsa of the Western league, will be glven thorough trials. £ The veteran Hank Severeid again is expected to handle the bulk of the |catching, although this department has been bolstered, Sisler said, with the addition of Leo Dixon of the st. Payl club, who ranked last year s one of the best receivers in the Amercian Association. The jafield and outfield pected to remain intact, with Sisler gain at first, McMarfus at second, Gerber at shortstop and Tobertson, Simon and Risc alternating at third, Sisler also has announecd he is still secking a capalle right-hand batting utfielder to aid Jacobson, Tobin and n Williams,. the 1 regulars, Much of the Browns' prospects de- pend upon the individual work of Manager Sisler, the effects of whose leye trouble were manifested last _ scason when he was considerably | handicapped. Jans and experts be- lieve he will improve next seasoi, while Brown owne: a mark of their confidence, have signed the pilot to a contract reported to call for a yearly salary of $20,000, Approximately forty-five men are expected to make the Browns' train ing trip this year, the Browns' pilot but unless some phenoms are undoubted!y ed when the scason Because of a destre 1o meot major league clubs during the spring train- ing trip, the Browns {1 v owill train at Tarpon Springs, Fia., in the vicinity of &verar ofher .
