Chosen as the New
Manager at C.C.N.Y.

At meeting of the executive board
of the Athletic Association of the Col
lege of the City of New York yester-
day Shirley Epstein, '19, was chosen
tennis manager for the coming season.
The newly elected manager an
rounced that practice for the racket
wielders would begin within week or
two at the most. The problem facing
the Lavender netmen this year is great,
since very few veterans are back in
college. Only three of last years
players will don the flannel for the
Heights institution this year, all the
rest having graduated or being still
In the service.
Those who will form a nucleus are
Algase, Rabinowitz and Shapiro. the
latter of whom is expected to be chosen
captain of the Lavender forces for the
ensuing season.
The City College athletic author
ltles are in difficulties as to manager
ships, being unable to find capable men
to fill the jobs. Most of the men who
had been chosen last year for the posi-
tlons are not available now, and ex-
perienced men are scarce. At present
track, 'cross-country and chess man
agershlps are open, while all assistant
managerships are untitled

Gibson Expects q Harvest
From LeOn0z,d-Ritchie Bout
Boxing Promoter Counting
on Receipts of $40, 900
May Be Disappointed
By w. O. Mcclellan

Optimistic William Gibson wires
from California that he expects the
Leonard Ritchie bout to draw some
thing like twenty thousand dollars.
Time was when they used to draw that
kind Of money out on the Coast, but it
was in the days of 45-round fights.
when champions were much more rea-
sonable in the matter of purses. Cali
fornia was surfeited with boxing in
the days of Cans, ketchel, Nelson.
Wolcott and other real battlers.
In the first place, the Ritchie-Leon-
ard bout will mean nothing in the
lives of either of the two young men.
1t is in no way a championship affair.
Neither can pose as lightweights at
the present writing. Leonard is close
to being a welterweight, while Ritchie
is pretty near middleweight. 1t will
not be twenty thousand dollars worth
of battle, in the estimation OF tho
Californians.
Richie always was a big boy for n
lightweight. 1t gave him some con-
for the bout with Wolgast, where he
won the championship on foul. When
Ritchie came East afterward he had "A
harder time making anything near The
lightweight limit for Leach Cross and
Johnny Dundee.
Sticklers Over Weight
They sused to be stcklers for ring
side weight on the Coast. Young Cor
bett had to take off few pounds few
hours before ring time more than once.
Joe Wolcott in one Of his fights had
to fire on a ferryboat crossing San
Francisco Bay to get himself within
the limit. Just what the Richie
Leonard bout will be is hard to tell.
They will probably call it a combna-
ton welterweight- -middleweight bout.
Gibson reports that Leonard Will
train at Shannon's, in San Rafael.
Leach Cross trained there for his tigh5
with Dick Hyland and it was his un-
doing. Shannon's place is situated III
the warm belt. When Cross got to
penetrating fogs came over the arena
and Cross became chilled through. He
could not get warmed up.
1t was Foreground fight, and it
could be seen in the first round that
Cross did not have a chance. Hyland
had trained in the fog bank and was
fit. Cross might have had the sponge
tossed up at any time, but he stuck it
out for over forty gruelling rounds. It
was battle of sorts, but the house
was ncthlng like twenty thousand dol
lars. Gross got little more than a
beating and carfare home
Tex Rickard is still getting offers

tween Willard and Dempsey. None of
these is being taken seriously as vet
Also there are legions of volunteer
referees. Rickard is still listening for
encouraging news from Albany. In the
meantime Dempsey is elevating the
stage, while Willard is dreaming of
millions in oil wells.

Coming Season Real Test
For )unior Tennis Stars

coming back" this season, or that the
younger element has advanced so far
as to constitute a serious threat to the
supremacy of their elders.
In some cases, Of course, the best
of the juniors, boys like the sixteen
year-old Richards, truly the "enfant
terrible" of the courts; Frank T. An
derson, Long Island and North Side
champion; Charles S. Garland, of Pitts
burgh, and Harold l.. Taylor, Of Brook
lyn, may upset some of the oldtimers.
They are advancing steadily in playing
skill and court craft and are bound to
take prominent places on American
courts within the next year or two.
Yet, on the whole, it does not seem
likely that the names of any of these
they are, will be found among the
"frst ten" when the annual rankings
are made next year. 1t is expecting
too much of youth, impetuous, daring
and eager for victory, but heedless Of
all the little nicctcs Of court tech
nique, to hope for it to compete sue
cessfully against that experience
which is only gained at the expense
Of years of study.
Richards, marvel of the age, and
undoubtedly the most brilliant school
boy Of his years who ever played the
game in this country, may humble
some Of the old leaders, as he did last
season, but in the main we expect to
see the youngsters set back consider
ably when the tournaments get under
way. With Williams, Johnston, Nc
Loughlin, Behr, Mathey. Washburn,
Voshell, Kumagae, Murray and Hall
back in the running, not to mention
others only little less we'll known to
fame, 1T seems inevitable that the
youngsters will have to step down.
temporarily, at least, from the high
places they gained last year.
Even so, the experience they will gain
IN Il seasoL's competition against the
older men will benefit their game enor-
moual1. and by the time tho next Davis
Cup s..tatchcs arc played, in 1920, Amer

Iron Boy Wins
At 80 to ! Odds
On Havana Track

HAVANA, Feb. 12-Long shots
scored this afternoon at Oriental Park
the biggest surprise coming whea Mrs.
Timmerman's Iron Boy won the second
event at odds of 80 to /. Quentin
Preece had the mount and the victory
was largely due to his alertness.
A large field of eleven broke from
the barrier, with Iron Boy quickly away
to safe lead. A hustling ride kept
him in front to win by two lengths
from Louise Mack
H. Coon's Sister Susie was beaten
by r. L. Tibanear's Little Nephew be-
cause Jeffcott went to the inside en-
tering the stretch and then pulled out
near the sixteenth pole. Little Nephew
set fast pace and was tiring, but last
ed to win by neck. Walter Mack,
equal favorte with Sister Susie, fin
lshed third half length back.
The Ammonia Stables Ford broke a
streak of i'll luck by winning the first
race, for two-year- olds. He led the field
of ten all the way and had four lengths
to spare at the end.

N. Y. A. c. Traps Swamped
With Aspiring Nimrods

For the first time in its trapshooting
history the New York Athletic Club
was completely swamped with gunners
yesterday. Not that the number was
exceptional, as there were only sew
enty-six nimrods on the firing line,
and there have been times when more
than 200 gunners have shot over the
Travers Island traps of the organiza-
tion. However, the field was entirely
too large to handle on four traps, and
as result about two and one-half
squads were unable to finish the full
programme of 200 targets.
When it became so dark that it was
absolutely impossible to see the flying
blue rocks, Chairman George j. Corbett
ordered the shoot stopped and ruled
that as all the gunners had completed
their string of ITS targets the prizes
for the day would go to the leading
gunners at the ITS mark Several pro-
tested the decision of the chairman.
stating that they might be among the
prize winners at 200 targets, while thew
were out Of the running among the 175
scores.
SO that there would be no complaint
Chairman Corbett stated that in addi-
tlon 10 tnc prizes given for the winners
at the IT'S mark the New York Athletic
Club also would give prizes to any gun
ners who might have beaten out the
l75 target winners in the final string.
Also he stated that the gunners who
were unable to shoot the final rs tar
gets would be credited with the aver
age of their final two strings to make
up the full 200 targets.
The decision, which met with the ap-
proval of all hands, was: an the shoot
for the prizes at IT'S targets, in which
the regular handicap was cut to seven
eighths, the winner Of the high scratch
prize was L. +. Curtis, with 167. Then
came A. l.. Burns, with 1862. Tracy H.
Lewis and DR.. Culver were tied, with
161 targets each. Then came J. P.
Donovan, H. D. Knight, A. P. Bennett
and G. H. Martin, with 159 targets.
In the shoot for the handicap prizes
under the same conditions the winner
was E. H. Morse, with 174Is. Then
came w. G. Allen and f. A. Baker, tied
with 173a targets each; f. J. Ham
and II. G. Vogel, with 172A targets
each. The shoot-oR will be held next
Saturday No attempt was made to

Games
First Trials
For Columbia
By A. c. Cavagnaro

Columbia Universty's track team
candidates will get their first real
trials in the coming games of the Mill
rose Athletic Association, which will
be held IN Madison Square Garden on
the evening of February 25. South
Fleld is a busy place nowadays when
weather permits outdoor work, while
the weight men and jumpers are MAX
ing the most of space room in the
gymnasium.
The Blue and White is moulding to-
gether a relay team that it expects to
gam much prominence in collegiate
competition this season. It's first real
tryout will be in the one mile inter
collegiate relay race in the Millrose
meet; Three men have already earned
a place on the team principally
through their success in the inter.
collegiate championships last year
They are Charley Shaw, half mile col
lege champion; A. l.. Hulsenbach and
Henry Staub. A fourth man is badly
needed, but among the new material
Columbia followers hope to uncover a
"fnd." |'
Pennsylvania is to be strongly repre-
sented in the low hurdle event at the
Millrose carnival by W. G. Haymond
and Sherman Landers. Both men re-
turn to competition after seeing ser
wee IN the army and navy. Lawson
Robertson, the Penn coach, has not
picked out sinecure for his charges,
as among their rivals will be Bob
Simpson, Earl Thomson and Fred Pol
lard hurdlers of high magnitude.
A torrld meeting is expected when
athletes Of the Morningside Athletic
Club gather at the clubhouse this even
ing to elect captains for the 'cross-
country and track teams. The elections
will be minor issue in comparison as
to what action should be taken against
Fred A. Niles, chairman of the ath-
letlc committee, accused of improper
conduct of his office.
Homer Baker and Eddie MAYO. who
were looking toward collecting quite
a sum in contracting jobs with their
Big motor truck, are going ~Dout with
gloom written all over their faces. The
co-partners failed to take out an insur-
ance on their truck, which was de-
stroyed by fire Monday night in a
Brooklyn garage.
Both athletes were training in the
23d Regiment when they heard the fire
engines go by. Baker had Fremont
tlon that 1T was his garage and said
to Mayo "If l knew that it was our
garage burning up I would smash all
running records in the world getting
down there and pulling out our truck. i
With the complete list of entries in,
the nominations for the junior national
indoor championships at the 18th Regi-
ment Armory, Brooklyn, on next Satur-
day evening, closely approach the 400
marx. In all, twelve colleges and twen-
ty-eight cubs will be represented in
the competitions.

By Fred Hawthorne

The rising generation of lawn tennis
players, represented by the juniors
both masculine and feminine, and the
boys and girls, will have their great
test during the coming season on the
outdoor courts, for it is then that we
shall see how we'll we have laid the
foundation upon which the future
stars of the game are to build their
court careers.
These youngsters made brilliant rec
ordo last year, several important
tournaments, even sectional champion
ships, falling to their prowess with
the racquet. and in one instance, nota-
bly, that of Vincent Richards. a ma
tional senior title was captured by a
fifteen year-ola schoolboy
But the season Of 1918 was an un~
usual one for the reason that almost
all Of the leading players of the coun.
try were either overseas or so occupiet
with war work that they had little
time or inclination to enter tourna-
ments. 1t is true that there were a
few among the senior players who
campaigned throughout the season.
Robert Lindley Murray, William +.
Tilden, I'd, Ichiya Kumagac and Walter
Merrill Hall being among the most
prominent. and these won their due
share Of the honors; but all in all the
younger stars had their great oppor-
tunity and took full advantage of It.
The coming outdoor season will
probably see conditions materially
changed, for most Of the men who
made lawn tennis history before the
call TO war caused them to desert the
courts for the battlcfelds will be back
in the game, and prepared, no doubt,
10 resume their former positions
win the juniors be able to hold their
own against the veterans? Will the
men who have returned from the wars
be able 10 wicld the racquet with tho
old skill, or will they find that some
thing is Licking in their game and that
they roust give way TO youth
Pertfmally, we do not believe the
old ssc-S will have great difficulty In

Golf Gossip

With as mild winter as the golfers
are having IN this vicinity, those who
have gone to the South for their golf
have not got much on those who have
remained at home
There were sixty-two golfers who
played over the Marine and Field Club
links yesterday, thirty of whom were
visitors, and that is about as big field
as can be comfortably accommodated
during the height of their regular
summer season. The course is in good
shape and some very fine scores were
made
There were over thirty members Of
the Crescent Athletic Club who played
over the club nine-hole course at Bay
Ridge in the morning. Independent of
those who played in the afternoon.
In TACT, nearly all the courses in the
metropolitan district have been kept
open, this winter for the benefit of tho
members, and there was considerable
playing everywhere.
