NAVY Anthony Albert Peilegrini, 7¢ Tal- | U: cott street, Carroll Edgar Witham,| Baseball Standing Speaking of Sports With the makeup in teams of the Industrial Baseball league practical- ly decided,. fans in this city are turning their attention to the City league. Although this circuit doesn't start pldy until some time in Junc, at least 10 clubs have signified their intentions of making applications for places in the circuit. \ The lecague, for the past several scasons, has been composed of only six teams and, until the new organ- ization of the public recreation board, it will not be known if this condition is to be changed. It is doubtful it any more teams will be allowed to enter the league. In the past. a junior league play- ing three games a week, has aiso been in operation and if this is to he conducted again this year. there will probably be only six teams in the senior league. The fact that some of the play- ers on City league teams will be playing in the Industrial leakue this vear, will seriously injure and| cripple some of the teams in the!| City league. Take for instance the Pirates, onr’1 of the leading contenders for the league championship last secason. The team will lose its battery, Carl- son and Mangan. Carlson will be with the Gascos while Mangan is now with the P. & F. Corbin com- bination. Added to this,will be the fact that “Chick” Charlow will be with Landers while Bergeron will be playing with P. & I. Corbin also. This takes away four star per- formers from the Pirates, including 1he league’s leading pitcher and his battery mate. The Cardinals will Yose Ernst Klopp, pitching mainstay of the team. With each succeeding game last season, Klopp appeared to im- prove until, near thesend of the sea- son he was ranged with the best twirlers in the circuit. He is now with the Gascos. Other teams in the league will also suffer’'from the entrance of players into the Industrial league. Johnny Klatka, first baseman for the Holy Cross team, will be with the Gascos while Willie Wojack will also be with the quarter collectors. There are still others players in the City league of last year who will be with the teams in the Industrial league. This will necessitate the re- building of teams in the City league, a difficult task in any brand of base- ball. While the TIndustrial league will gain great] the City league will be seriously affected. Tt is expected that the recreation commission wil be formed and will glart action in the near future. one of the best substitutes on last year's Stanley Rule basketball team, claims the Tulers did not lose a game in which he played. You're wrong, Dave. You started a contest against the Russwin team which was lost, 16 to 15. Kley and Morey did not start and their places were taken by Garro at forward and Morrison at center. The rest of the lineup was Gill, forward, Corazzo and Murphy, Dave Morrison. guards. CARNERA FAGING DRASTIC PENALTY Italian Heavyweight May Be Banned in California San Fransicco, April 19 (P —Primo Carnera, Italian heavyweight boxer, his three managers, and other per- sons connected with the Leon Chev- alier-Carnera bout which ended un- satisfactorily to fans in Oakland last Monday, faced drastic penalties to- day at the hands of the Calfornia State Athletic Commission. Charles F. Traung, member of the commission, concluded an investiga- tion of the affair yesterday and rec- ommended that the commission re- voke the licenses of Carnera, Leon See, of France, his manager and two assistant managers, Bill Duffy and Walter Friedman, both of New York. Traung also urged that the commission ban the Italian from fighting again in California. In an- nouncing his findings, Traung said: “I have no doubt from the evidence that the action of second Bob Perry was inspired by some person con- nected with the management of Car- nera. The evidence secems to support no other contention.” Perry second- ed Chevalier. 216-pound negro who had remained on his feet against Carnera for five rounds. In the sixth round the negro went down but re- gained his feet and resumed fight- ing. Perry then hurled a towel ®n the: ring. signalling his boser's de- feat. A small riot followed and Perry was hadly beaten by the infuriated crowd. The investigation brought testi- mony from Chevalier that an irritant had been rubbed in his eyes between rounds and that he had been offered a larger purse if lie would quit to the Italian. The commission also was told that Frank Churchill, Los An- geles, Carnera’s Pacific coast repre- sentative had appeared in the negro's corner during the bout and convers- ed with one of Chevalier's seconds. The commission will meet mext Monday to act on Traung's recom- mendations. Traung receommended that the purse of both fighters be returned as “there is no evidence that they were not giving their best efforts.” Carnera and his entourage hate gone to Portland, Ore, where the Italian is to meet Sam Baker, 276- pound Hollywood negro, who recent- v was knocked out here in the first yound by a third rater, Chet Shan- R dell.

Veterans May Defend Bennett in Dismissal 19—Connecticut Hartford, April members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars may hold a meeting next week to discuss whether or not that or- ganization will take action in pro- testing the dismissal of Capt.®A. C. Bennett, executive officer of Fitch's Home for Soldiers. Bennett is a member of the order. He was dis- missed following a hearing at the capitol on a charge of beating a war veteran who was an inmate of the home. Construction of a new soldiers’ home in a more central part of the state may be discussed by the in- coming session of the legislature, it is said. The new home would ac- commodate 1.500 to 2,000 veterans.

P — (BY JIGGER) The purpose of the golf handicap is to make club competition as even as is possible. ' Several systems of handicapping have been devised but none have proved satisfactory. Probably no amount of ingenuity will produce a handicapping method that will be 100 per cent pleasing to the average golfer. e spends a lot of energy grousing about his being too low. «But it is noticeable that this type of kicker gets away with a lot of prizes during the season. On those days when he is going good he pro- claims that he is playing “over his ear.” He forgets that his handi- cap was based on scores that he | made when he was playing his best. Many of the kickers talk as if thé { handicap were awarded on one's average game. No handicap system operates on that basis. It is one's average of his best game, usually based on his five best scores. that form the data for committee to utilize for a handicap. \ Thus a player who shoots around 82 most of the time but who scores low enough during the season for lis best game overage to be 79 will find himself handicapped on that | basis the following vear, if the com- mittee in charge know the facts. ‘Whema golfer has shown that ghe i3 capable of breaking $0, it would be unfair to his brethren of the course to rate him on a higher Dasis. The exception to this rule occurs in the case of a player who makes a single low score by a miracle which he can never repeat. No account of it is tdken in adjust- ing the followlng year's handicap. Tn the case of players with handi- caps pnder six, it is not considered | necessary to lower them unless they make an especially good showing in state or sectional events. The Calkins system of handicap- ping is used extensively. Its prin- cipal feature is that not only is the good player handicapped because he is good, but the poor golfer is han- dicapped because he is a bad player. Under this system a player at Shuttle Meadow who could average 72 at Dis best would bhe given a handicap of 4 on the basis of par 71, On the other hand. players of the 90 class would rate The Massachusetts system, now in )| use in this state, begins by rating ) | the course, according to its difficul- ties or “hardneass. Shuttle Meadow is rated at par 70. A 72 player would receive a handicap of 2 and a 90 player would rate 15 strokes, under this system, Shuttle Meadow has not adhered closely to either systems and has heen rather liberal in the matter of handicaps. The club champions have played with handicaps ¢f from 4 to 6 and the 90 players get handi- caps of 19, HAYE FIRST PRACTICE Republican A. C.

C., has sent a number of good ball players into the major leagues. but not until the advent of the Ferrell brothers did the ivory hunters consider the chief reason. H> is Eerl P. Holt, left abeve, president of the Academy and coach of the ball teams. till under Coach Holt's critical cye. By CLAIRE BURCKY NEA Service Sports Writer The sons of Pa Ferrell, near Guilford, C., farmer grew up big doing.chores and ing the simple life, As youths they played bascball when farm work slackened. Later, they went to Oak Ridge Military Academy, where Earl P. Holt. president, coull teach them military mancuvers and baseball. Major leaguz ivory hunters who search Dixie today for promising baseball material have learned ‘o keep a weather eye on the doings.of the cadet nine at Oak Ridge. A distinction that the University of Alabama has had pretty much to hergelf—that of furnishing most of the south’s bhig leaguers—is being challenged by Earl Holt, presideut and coach. Holt knows when a boy has baseball talent and when he has not. Wesley Ferrell, the young righ! hender who pitched 21 victories for Cleveland last year in his first sea- son of major league ball, is one of Coach Holt's boys. Richard Ferrell, who sold himself into the regular catching job with the 8t. Louis Browns for $25,000 is a Holt prod- uct. George Ferrell, still in the Southern Assosiation as an outfield- er with Memphis, played baseball with Oak Ridge. But they are on: a few. Another Ferrell Budding The ivory hunters are staying pretty clese to Guilford this vear. Coach Holt has a pltcher who looks gcod. His name is Marvin Ierrel), a lad of 18 years. 6 feet 1 inch tall, weight 170 pounds and still grow- ing. We have Holt's word for it that Marvin is a classy pitching pros- pect. The coach’'s word is weighty; he has been looking over these Oak Ridge baseballers since 1904. The academy sent four men intd the National League before Holt took up the coaching reigns. Theys were Bob Stafford. first baseman fo: Philadelphia nearly 30 years ago; Eob Wicker, pitcher for the cadet rine that Holt played on and for the Cubs from 1802 to 1909; Georg2 Suggs, with Cincinnati from 1904 to 1910, and Phil Griffin, pitcher for the Phillies from 1906 to 1908, An even dozen in Holt's time stepped right off the Oak Ridge drill field into professional baseball, to work up into the majors. Most of them were pitchers, too, although the cadet coach was an infielder in his playing days at the academy and the University of North Caro- lina. Burrus Case Unique Besides Wes Yerrell, there were Fleet Mayberry, Harry Llewellyn, Dixie Davis, Jakie May and Ben Skields, all pitchers, as Holt's con- tribution to major league mound staffs. Halley Wilcon and Cy Smith are pitching Class A league ball, with a chance to develop into the: big show. Dick Burrus never had seen n ball game until he enroled at Oak Ridge.

Hayworth of the Detroit Tigers anl Rick Ferrell are the énly catchers groomed for big league jobs at Oak Ridge. Joe Clayton, Class A league shortstop and former cadet intield- er, may yet land a contract from a major league team. Names of Alabama alumni ar2 cattered profucely over major league rosters. They include Derrill Pratt. Joe and Luke Sewell, Rig; Stephenson, Grant Gilis, ke Boon», Lmile Barnes, Andy Cohen, Erni: Wingard and Jack Hayes. But Oak Ridge advances Wes and Rick Fer- rell, Dixie Davis and Jakie May to match Pratt, the Sewells and phenson, the big four of the Crim- son Tide institution.
