The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-04-29

The greatest sprinter the world has produced since the days of the late Dan Kelly and Jimmy Rector. That is the general concensus of athletic opinion on the merits of Charlie Paddock, California's latest track sensation. Paddock is already being regarded as one of Americas prob able point winners at Antwerp both in the 100 meters dash and the longer sprints.
 Paddock recently registered 9 4-5ths in a. 100-yard dash on the coast and he seems to be getting bet ter all the time. The Californian owns the proud distinction of being the in ter-allied sprint champion having won that honor in the Inter-A1Iied Championships in Paris after the armistice. Paddock wasn't in the pink of condition then having had no soft time of it while in the army. Nevertheless he negotiated 10 4-5 in the 100-meters dash. Charlie also accounted for the 200-meters in 22 seconds, in each instance beating out Eddie Teschner another Tank. The doughty Californian was also domin- ating factor in the relay race which was won by the Tanks against Canada and Australia.
 ILeCShI1y COHIpSlCu HI IIhC Mi11rose games in New York and although a disappointment in the 70-yard dash, the Californian display ed enough '<c1ass' to stamp a. factor in the big meets in the near future. Paddock proved a much slower start CT than Scholz but manifested won
 derfu1 speed as the race neared the finish.
 One of the most likable qualities about the century, sprint wonder is his compelling modesty. Paddock is absolutely devoid of Temperament" '" His quick moving legs are supple mented by head-piece which operates with spendid common-sense- After the Mi1lrose failure Paddock offered no complaint but simply remarked that he believed he had learned some thing about the art of quick starting from Scholz.
 Another instance of the Paddock l modesty before we leave the subject. 1 While in the east recently Charlie | was invited to start in a set of High 1 School games in New Jersey. Ot course Paddock's appearance would l mean a tremendous boom for the
 meet and the officials were genuine l ly anxious to obtain his presence at l the games as a competitor The of l ficia1 was delighted when he opened ] an envelop containing Paddocks ac-

PENN CREW TO RACE
 ON NEW sEYALE COURSE7'

New Haven, Conn.,, April 29-Not only has the Yale Graduate Rowing Committee officially designated 'the Housatonic River course, over which Yale beat Columbia in two race last Saturday, as the tFYale course, but announceme ment was made here today that Pennsylvania will row Yale there next year. It is assumed that Columbia will again row Yale on this course and in addition an effort IS being made to have Cornell ana Princeton meet Yale in triangular regatta there next spring.
 Guy Nicka1ls, in confirming the ar rangement for Ya1e-Pennsy1vania race, said that the meeting of the two universities on the water will all ternate between the SchuylkiIl and the Housatonic. The Pennsylvania race next spring probably will be right af- ter Easter.
 Speaking of the Housatonic, last night NickaI1s said:
 This course for two miles is the best I have seen in America, England or Sweden, and I believe it to be the best in the world. It has an even current of deep water andAbecause two slight curves compensate each others it is an unusually fair course.
 ffUnder normal conditions it is pro- teeted by sheltering hills from excess sIve wind and has not a large enough expanse of water to become rough .

MANY NEW FACES AT LEAGUE
 OPENING TODAY

In Bridgeport Big Ed Walsh is try ing his hand at swinging the club and has ten old men with a number of new ones with whom he expects to make it hot for the other teams and grab off the lead right from the start.
 Looking over the clubs New. Haven should show as well as any of them. Bender has several men who are ex- pected to do good work, while a num- Der of the veterans remain to form the nucleus of the seasons pennant hopes.
 Albany with Bill McCorry at the tiller, has the old Providence club as it's foundation, some of the veterans being Chet Sweatt, Ameren, Donahue and Harrington. A new battery ob- tained from the White Sox is likely to be sent against the Weissmen. The pitcher is a lad named Marquis and the backstop. Kikerle, Dameron, Donahue, Capes and Baker will make up the infield, and Leary, McCorry and Williams will chase the flies in the outer works.
 The mucb-stepped on Hartford club will perform with only two members of last years Senators in the lineup. These are Pitchers Head and Adams. A new pilot, Dan Howley, has worked hard during the last few weeks and apparently has a club that will be a strong contender. Hartford will be strong in the box with Pennington, sherman, Cox and G1azier doing the bulk of the business. In the mfeld IHartford will depend on MaA Barry, Kane and Neher, all experienced men with fine reputations. Murphy, Bailey and Geib will make up the outneld. | The catchers are Damn and Kelley in addition to Howley, who is expected to play this position most of the time.
 Many new faces will appear on the Springfield club under Jack Flynn s management, although a nucleus of veterans remain. Eddie Lennox at first; Gonzales, short; Baker, out fielder; Jensen, Lowe and Mayberry. pitchers, and Wilder, catcher, are the old timers still on the payroll. Re i cruits from the Tanks and Reds are filling in the other berths satisfac- torily. Bad weather has retarded the club considerably by preventing prac- tfces but F'lynn's men can be counted on as trouble making outfit at al time.
 Tn Ffttssegd they are sure that Joe Birr7in gham's men will again finish first The Hfllies play their getaway game with Worcester in Worcester and will send almost a veteran team after the pennant- All the old bunch Tinnan, Reiger, Stubing, Brady, Ham rnond, Bates, Pickup, Messenger ano M07a1e are back, Fortune and Devine being the only first string men lost Many newcomers have also been giver tryouts and all and all it looks like another good year for the Bay Staters
 Little is known about WorceSte1 but Manager Mack promises that hi'
 men will be in the first at all times The loss of GardeIIa and Potteigel will mean a lot to the Boosters.

NEW INTERNATIONAL CLUB
 TO DEvELOPE CHAMPIONS

New York, April 29-The activities of the International Sporting club are not confined to the formation of one of the greatest sporting organizations in the world and the acceleration of boxing legislation. It now is engaged in the task of developing a represent ative American heavyweight cham pion, and has attacked the undertak- ing with customary energy. Tex ORourke, who is a member of the rules committee of the club, and is an authority on physical training and condition, is now making a tour of the country for the purpose of select ing candidates for an elimination competition, and according to an As sociated Press despatch is at present in Louisiana Joking over the crop of lumbermen in that section.
 It is the purpose of the club to se- lect a number of promising candidates from among the five strenuous indus tries-lumbering, steel manufactur- ing, shipbuilding, mining and farm ing-take them to a training camp near this city, pay their expenses and a salary at least 25 per cent greater
 than they formerly received, and train them for a year. At the end of
 that time a series of elimination con tests will determine the champion. The mems services will not be com mercialized and the candidates must be American born.
 It is problematfcal who will hold the worlds title a year from date. Ii Dempsey is acquitted of the charge against him it is likely he will be the title holder. But no matter who wears ! the heavyweight crown he would be required to box the winner of the In- | ternational Sporting Club competi- l ton.
 1 The clubs experiment will be watched closely by all who take ar 1 interest in boxing.

TWOAmeriCanS May Enter
 Classic

America is likely to have two rep- resentatives in the famous Diamond Souls on the Thames river, England, on July 1, if the plans of Jack Kelly, holder of the national single souls title, are successful. It has already been announced that Dr. Paul With ington, the former Harvard oarsman. would row in the Henley event, Dr. Wilmington having resigned from the Union Boat club eight of Boston in order to train for the race. On the heels of this announcement comes statement from Kelly that he also will make every effort to enter the famous single souls event
 Dr. Withington's action in entering the Diamond Souls was based on the belief, according to advfces from Bos- ton, that Kelly would prefer to try for the OlympicS rather than the Diamond Souls. But the vesper man has come out with the flat statement to the contrary.
 'I would rather row in the Dia- mond Souls than in the Olympi " Kelly said recently, "but before 1 can row in the English race the approval of the American and English rowing authorities is necessary. It will prob ably be two weeks before the latter reach their decision.
 'tIt is by no means certain that the English authorities will accept me. In 1902 a Vesper crew rowed on the Thames and violated so many rules that they resolved that they would never permit a Vesper oarsman to row there again. Of couFse. it is fool 1 ish that any such reason as that should bar me, if it is possible. ''The Diamond Souls are to be held on July 1, and, if row in them, I | will have to leave here probably on the Eth or 18th of June. I could just
 about get back to this country in time for the Olympic trials at Worcester,
 Mass, in conjunction with the Ma l tional Regatta on July A. But 1 would not want to go over again for | the OIympics- However, if I am not
 accepted for the Diamond Souls,
 will make every effort to earn a place on the American Olympic team

EASTERN LEAGUE START DELAYED
 UNTIL TODAY BY RAINY WEATHER
All Games Postponed Until This Afternoon Locals Ready for Waterbury

The sch edu1ed hosti1itfes of the opening day of the Eastern League season were halted yesterday after noon on account of the activities of Jupiter Pluvius. It seems that this gentleman has a special desire to spoil athletic events, and he accomplished his mission to perfection yesterday. There wasn't a chance of any of the games being played, and some of the clubs had cancelled their games as early as noon, realizing that ball playing was out of the question in the parks. However, if J. P. calls a truce today, the eight teams will get into action as per the original schedule.
 A parade started from the Strat1eld hotel at o'clock. A squad of traf. fic officers led the way, with the Wheeler & Wilson band, the mayor and other high public officials, the off, f1cials of the Bridgeport and Water bury ball clubs, baseball writers of Bridgeport and Waterbury, and the players of the Bridgeport and Water bury clubs following in the order named. The march will be down Main street to State, to Court1and, to Fairfield avenue and on to the grounds at Newdeld park.
 With the band playing and amid the plaudits of the spectators, Mayor Wilson will try out his trusty right wing and the battle-wiI1 be officially on.
 No changes in the lineup over those announced yesterday are contemplat' ed with the possible exception that Emerick may play in right field for the locals in place of Layher.
 The lineup was:
