Speaking of Sports 8i McDonald, roller hockey ref- erec; is quoted in this morning’s pa- per as declaring that he would never referee another game in this city because of the unsportsmanlike at- titude of the fans here. That makes it unanimous. Fasce, the official who has been handling the games in New York state and by whom all the players swear as the best referee in the game, will handle the fourth contest in this city Tuesday night. Fasce s the man who went to the mat with I'red Jean in a game played in Al- Yany during the past scason and for- i ction. He makes no mistakes when Ye calls violations. according to the avers. In oth.r words, he calls iem as he scos them and he sees almost everything. . Off the floor. one couldn't find a hetter fellow than Si McDonald. On the floor, some times his work is of Jiigh order while at other times it is very poor. Thursday night, he was sar below standard and we still be- lieve that he was taking a peeve against the fans out on the local team, However, it is past history now. He declares that he will report the failure of the policemen at the rena to eject a spectator at his or- ers, to Chief William C. Hart. If he docs. we are afraid that his com- plaint won't be taken very seriously. Sergeant John C. Stadler happened «to be on dnty that night and he was present in the hall while the fracas was going on. He refused to remove the spectator. We do not know who the man was, but those around him eclaim that he was not guilty of using the language that Referee McDonald vlaimed he did. He was with his wife and two children and another woman was there. It doesn’t scem probable that he would have said the things although there might have been others who called names during the heat of excitement. d But, as Dick Donnelly stated yes- terday, if, when he was playing against New Britain, the police were to eject everyone from the hall who had called him names not in the dictionary, there wouldn't be any- body at the games in which played. New Britain is a hotbed for royal and loyal fans and they certainl van become burned up when things don’t go their way. Plenty can be aid against them but there is much than can be said for them and their zood points so far outweigh their faults that this city has become the best sporting center in the state. Tn the final analysis. it is the man who pa his way in at the box oftice who keeps the sport alive and players and officials alike should re- member this. We figure that Referce McDonald's action was a little too hasty. Probably he figures things the other way PITCHERS SLOW DOWN Manager Heinlc Wagner of Red Sox Orders His Battery Staff to Ease Up in Workouts. Pensacola, Fla.. March 1 (®P— nie Wagner, Red Sox manager, ordered his 22 or more pitchers to slow down for a few days. With the infielders and outfielders arriv- ing Tuesday he says he doesn't wani them to be baffled by too good pitching or the hurlers to get the idea that they're world beaters. Lisenbee, pitching sensation his first year in the majors with Wash- ington in 1927, went through an ex- tra workout vesterday. He reported his arm in better shape than during the past seasons. Intermittent showers fell during the day i though a delegation of citizens sad they had never seen rain before. WILL COACH PITCHERS Manager Conuic Mack of Athletics Selects a New dJob for Howard Ehmke, Veteran Hurler. Fort Myers, ¥la.. March 1 (P\— Manager Connie Mack has createl a new job for Howard Ehmke, vet- eran right hander. Ile will have complete coaching charge of the rcokie hoxmen. cight of whom are now working out here. thmke has the ability and 1 think the temperament. too, that a coach should have. said Mack “He is an artist and the youngster should benefit greatly by having such an instructor. Ehmke will fill the post of coach and at the same time continue Lis own preparatior to pitch during the season. Ehmke is one of the modern pitchers with an original delivery. He invented the “hesitation” pitch and for the particular benefit of the Chicago Cubs originated the “shadow ball” last fall that beat chi National Leaguers on their home lot the first game of the world series. —DAILY— EXPRESS 32.50 ONE 53.75 ROUND WAY TRIP Retarn ticket good 30 days Brand New Latest Type Larlor Car Coachey Cowfortably Heated—Bonded—Insured We Guarantee Your Comfort Leave Crowell's Drug Store 77 West Main St 10:30 A, M. and 2:15 P.

Clearwater, Fla, March 1 (P— The boys will be careful hereafter in making bets with Wilbert Tobi- sen, manager of the Brooklyn Dods- ers Tn a game between the Wets and Drys yesterday, Robby bet one dol- ar on the drys. and threatened to tie the score, Robby went to the coaching lins and ordered Clise Dudley, pitcher for the Wets to steal second base. Dudley was put out by the custom- ary mile and TRobby went back to the bench satisfied that he had won his bet. A moment later, however, Glenn Wright slugged the ball over the left field fence, 350 feet away, to deadlock the score at 6-6 ani there it remained. Use Dirigible to Test Air Currents for Germs Akron, O., March 1, (#—List the dirigible as a new ally of preventive medicine. Charles Barton of the Los Angeles board of health used the semi-rigid dirigible “Volunteer” of the Good- vear fleet to go aloft for samples of air. He found the ship valuable be- cause it could be held almost sta- tionary. Barton took cultures at 4 5,500, 2,500 and Angeles and at rural region.

These might have | been overlooked with a more mag- | nificent gesture by the Garden cor- | poration had Jack Sharkey achieved |2 convincing and decisive victory lover Phil Scott, the pallid Briton who seems inflicted with chronic iatic nerve. | As it was, the battle of the minute’s | rest added no luster to heavyweight | | nistory. | | Scott. all hands concede, no mat- {ter whether they think the Briton | was fouled, has been efiectually re- moved as a heavyweight title con- | tender. Thus the field is at least re- | unsatisfactory series of elimination {bouts since the rotirement of Gene Tunney in the summer of 1928. Sharkey, the main American hope, though a three-round victor |over Scott under extraordinary cir- cumstances, remains an uncertain | figure as a fighter of apparent great | | poseibilities but distinctly erratic | tendencies in the ring. Seemingly, | Thursday was the night for this | Jekyll and Hyde of fisticuffs to wage |one of his “bad fights.” | Not only did he fail to justify the llong odds in his favor but actually he came within a shade of losing on a foul and spoiling whatever hopes he had of winning world's | championship® honors. The expert consensus, as a re-| sult, is that Sharkey by no means | figures to have any advantage over | {Max Schmeling. the German clout- | ler, when they meet as per schedule on June 26 in the deciding heavy- {weight tilt at New York.

Phil Scott spent most of the “day | after” undergoing treatment for the | nerve condition which he claimed | resulted from a foul blow by Shar-| key to the side of his hip. His man- ager devoted the entire day to squawking and the voicing of hot charges against the referce. Mag- nolia countered with equal heat. Sharkey alone obtained rest and se clusion, which he intends to enjoy here for another month. He will not | fight again until he meets Schmel- | ing. The final report from the box of-| |fice was sad, indeed. It showed gross receipts of $193.252 and a net “gate” of $161,716 after the reduc- tion of federal tax. There were only 18,762 paying customers, of Wwhom 11,897 sat in the $5 sections (until they moved elsewhere). 3,495 occu- pied $12.50 seats and 3. enjoyed the luxury of locations. With Sharkey receiving $40,429.- 5 and Scott 332,243, the fighters' payroll reached $124.000 altogether, | leaving the Garden less than $40.- 000 with which to pay the arena rental, the cost of operations and ! ballyhoo, hesides the maintenanc: |of 1arge staft organization here for |a month.
