ittt of Sport 8 ‘What are the chances of Glenna Collett to. win the British woman's golt champlonship? No one is better qualified to answer that question than Walter Hagen, twice winner of the British open. “Excellent,” says Hagen, . The woman's champlonship of Great Britain is scheduled for tho week of May 25 at Troon. Hagen, who has played the course many times, says Miss Collett's game is made to order for it “In my opinion Glenna Collett is the greatest woman golfer in the world,” says Hagen. ‘“No woman can match her long game. From the tee she gets as much distance as many of the leading professionals, “The unusual climatic conditions that exist at Troon call for distance from the tee and that is just where Miss Collett shines.” It 1s & rather interesting fact that no woman has beaten Miss Collett inside of 18 holes in over a year. fl“ only defeat last season wae to ary Browne at the 19th hole in the semi-finals of the championship. The Chicago White Sox will not finish in last place in 1925, Some club other than Comiskey's hirelings +will be resting in the cellar berth at the close of the season. ’ There s a weaknees at shortstop that must be plugged if the club is to make rapld advancement, = Like- wise the pitching staff can stand some worth while additions. “Red” Faber, despite advancing years, should be far more valuable this year than last. I also look for Ted Blankenship to pitch the best ball of his career for Collins, , Blankenship {s a great pitcher if properly handled. Collins, a good Judge of human nature, is certain to make blg Ted see the possibili- tles of baseball from a different angle than ever before, The Sox missed Ray Schalk last season, A succession of serlous ac- cidents kept him out of play a greater part of the year. If Schalk is able to catch 75 games, he insists he will work 100, the Sox will be a difterent ball club, For eleven consecutive years Schalk caught 100 or more games, only to have the record broken last season, when he euffered far more than his share of injuries, Rogers Hornsby is one baseball atar whe draws the line on golf, &am Jones, crack pltcher of the New York Yankees, is another. They are the exceptions. Hornsby likes the game and would probably be a star at it but he has placed base- ball before golf. Hornsby says he 18 convinced that the golt swing and baseball have nothing in common. Hornsby, with five batting cham- plonships to his credit, has sur- passed Wagner's record. He is now shooting at Cobb's nine-straight wins. For that reason, nothing doing on golf. The Pittsburgh infield, composed of Grimm, Maranville, Wright and Traynor, topped the National league in the matter of playing together last eeason. Grimm was in 151 games; Maranville, 152; Wright, 153, and Traynor in 141, As noted, the first three played practically every tilt in which the Pirates partici- pated. Burleigh Grimes of the Brooklyn team was the busiest pitcher afield in the National league last season. Grimes, in 38 games, had 120 chances, getting 25 putouts, 91 as- sists and but four errors, He took part in five double plays also, Carl Mays of the Reds was the only other hurler to top the century mark in plays. He had 112, Olympic track champlons have gotten little better than an even Ereak iIn the indoor campaign so far. Paavo Nurmi and Willie Rito- la, who romped off with a total of six Olympic races, have added to their supremacy, but Ugo Frigerio, Itallan, who won the Olympic walk- ing champlonship, has suffered a serles of setbacks here, while Jack- son Scholz, American sprinter and 200-metre champlon, has met de- feat several times since his return. The other Olympic champions are expected to show their speed spring. They are Albin Stenroos, Finland's Marathon victor, and Har- old Abrahams and Eric Liddell, the Brit fliers who captured the 100 and 400 metre races. If this trio appears, America will have seen all of the Olympic running champions except Douglas Lowe, who won the 800-metres for England. members of the track team which the Metropolitan A. A. U. is sending to the national cham- vionships in Loulsville left last night and the remainder will be on their way this morning. Those in last night's party were Carl Christiern- #on, hurdler; Herb Meyer, hurdler; Eddie Kirby and Vincent Lally, mid- dle distance runners; Basil Irwin, Julius Reichert and Joseph Misbach, steeplechase and jumpers. Several Willie Plant, American champion walker, who has defeated Ugo Fri- gerlo of Italy three times, will leave today with possibly Paave Nurmi and Willie Ritola. Willie Ritola, middle distance star of the Finnish-American A. C., will appear in Louisville Saturday for the National A. A. U. track cham- plonships, if the national registra- tion committee votes to override the suspension handed down by the New England association on Wednesday night. Ritola felt the wrath of the Boston officl because he failed to appear in a meet there Monday. The national registration eommit- tee is taking a telegraphic vote and five replies have been received, all favoring lifting of the suspension. and |} stamina in American competition by They come from New Orleans, De. troit, Columbus and New York. The New England representative voted in favor of the suspension but his reply had not recelved when the offices closed last night, Ritola, expecting favorable action, has plan- ned to leave for Kentucky today, Lightwelghts will resume the tournament being conducted by the New York state athletloc commission to determine a champlon tonight. Benny Valgar of New York meets Alex Hart of Philadelphla and Solly Seaman of New York faces Frankle Le Fay of Albany, substituting for Archle Walker of Brooklyn, Walk- er iy suffering from an infection of the right leg and yesterday dn- nounced his inabllity to participate.

Engel took the first fall and in the second was thrown to the mat with such force he was unable to came back for the third session and Talaber was awarded the match. Many of the high school basbet- ball teams that have competed in the last six national interscholastic tour- cago are making early bids for the seventh meet, opening March 31.
