was called, and 40 player who was
invited by spectators to ride to
the hotel declined Weather Of the
variety the Florida trained clubs
enjoyed last spring has at last set
in with every indication that 1t will
continue.
Memo LeiboId. who had his first
training yesterday, will be forced
to take to the track for some time
to reduce an enlarged waistline. In
citizens clothes he looked as ~ he
had exercised enough during the
cold months to keep off surplus
weight, but his form presented a
different appearance in uniform.
He took his turn in batting prac-
tice, limbered up his arm, and then
cavorted in the pasture until the
balance Of the athletes went to the
club house.
Critical eyes were focused on
Slim McGrew during his turn on
the mound i'm hitting practice. The
giant Slabman puts just q little
more on the ball each time he
goes out and he still maintains q
determined manner.
No other authority than Nick
Altrock says the big Highlander
is certain to win a place on the
pitching staff, providing he keeps
up at the present pace and bar
ring accidents. Marberry' IL also
advancing rapidly, as he IL now
about down to his best weight.
The pitchers who were not called
upon for duty in serving them up
to the batters worked out in the
bull pen with the catchers for fiji
teen or twenty minutes. They were
required to pitch as II delivering
to a batter and they mixed their
best curves with a fast baIl.
Lance Richbourg IL still nursing
a lame left foot, with the result
that he may be unable to play in
the Saturday game with the Gu
bans. The injury seems to have
no relation to the fracture Of last
year and Trainer Martin IL at a
loss as to the cause Of the con.
tinued soreness. The pain is in the
instep and may be caused by an
i'll fitting shoe, Ma rtin said.
Lefty Brogan took his turn regu-
larly in batting practice yesterday
and he may be ueed In center
field in the event Richbourg Il out
of the first game, as Martin has
an agreement with the CuhAns not

Hildreth is buried in the hinter-
land Of New Jersey at the Ran
cocas Farm and might be reached
by carrier pigeon.
The preamble of the story in cir
culation is that Grey Lag has been
retired to stud. This, If true,
means that he will do no racing
this summer. here or abroad. 1t is
significant that the thoroughbred
has been withdrawn for all local
stake races for which he was
named. He was also nominated
for the Ascot Cup, a famous weight
for age handicap, and much capital
was made in England of his pro.
posed appearance. Whether his
name has been withdrawn from the
classic in question is not known
here. It is merely claimed that he
has been placed in stud. and that
seems to end the matter.
The climax Of the story told
reVOlVeS around ZeV and his
much ballyhOOed visit to Euro
pean tracks next season to match
TANKS with Epinard. Papyrus
and the foreign field general.
Unlike Grey Lag, his stablemate.
Zev undoubtedly is due for a
full season of racing but, ac-
cOrding to all accounts, it will
be done in America.
The three-year-old champion faces
an even sterner campaign right
here than that in which he in
dulged during 1923. It is said that
his handlers have no intention of
impairing his racing speed by an
early season trip abroad.
He is scheduled for a series of
three races with Epinard. the
French champion: In Memoriam, the
Kentucky star. and others at Bel
mont Park, AQueduct and Latonia
early in the fail. Hildreth expects
to bring his star to top speed for
these tests. This fact, the sophists
say, automatically eliminates Zev's
proposed trip abroad for a race
In June.
They base their contention on
the admitted fact that a horse, run.
ming to form in June. is often run
ming nowhere in September. The
ocean voyage. over and back, is
also pointed out as an obvious
deterrent to late season form.
And 1t is no star chamber secret
that Hildreth and Sinclair want
Zev in form for the Epinard in
vasion. There are entirely too
many American dollars involved for
matters to be otherwise.

~ don't know anything wrong
Quoted ON a very high plane
under the Walker law. Even Tom
OROurke, who made very sensa-
tiOnal charges before your COM
mittee last week, never indicated
that he had made these charges
to the Boxing Commission or had
any proof to substantial them.
He brought no evidence of any
frame-up, Of any crOOkedness, of
any dishonest referee.
There are $50 bouts a week in
New York city alone, and it is pos
sible that some judges and some
referees have failed. but that does
not condemn the sport. There has
been great deal of talk about the
booing and Kissing which have fol-
owed decisions. There are partisans
in all contests. We don't condemn
football because the spectators cheer
their favorites and hiss decisions
with which they do not agree.
There has been a great deal Of
talk about ticket specializing. I
hold no brief for the spectators,
but 1 will say that ticket specu-
lating exists wherever there is a
professional amusement enterprise,
and l don't see what we can do
about 1t.
1.-THE victims of ticket specula-
tors have no complaint. All they
have to do is to refuse to get
stung. Nobody has said that they
went to the Boxing Commission or
the district attorneys office or the
attorney general with complaints
about specializing. These are the
proper agencies for enforcing the
law against speculation.
