Both . of the invading gladiators
started their campaigning in the
United States in January. 1927, and
have just passed the first milepost
without a knockout scored against
them. This record is seen in its
true significance when compared
with that of Phil Scott, the Eng
lishman, who lived up to the popu.
lar idea Of what a foreign heavy
weight should do by taking the count
a few days after arrival.
In addition, both have won more
battles than they have lost, and
Pauline knocked out the black men,
ace, Harry Wills, while Heeney dis.
posed of Jim Maloney in less than a
minute in his own most impressive
fight. More recently Pauline bat
tered Ed Kelley. of Bridgeport,
Conn.,, into technical unconscious
ness in two rounds and knocked out
Romeo Rojas Of Chile in three, and
Heeney weathered Jack Sharkey's
best blows to get draw.
Placing chief reliance in sheer
power of iawbone, however, the two
have fought few brilliant fights. In
two battles between themselves-one
of which went to Pauline on a de-
cision and the other Of which was
called a draw--they proved that the
visiting jaw from New Zealand is
just about as lasting as its rival
from the Pyrenees and vice versa.

New York. Feb. 13.-,A'-To
judge from the reaction to the lat
est trade Of the New York Giants,
the club has clinchcd first prize in
the keep-the boys guessing contest
Without yet having solved to
their entire satisfaction just why
Hornsby was traded to the Braves,
the experts now are puzzling over
the latest deal that sends Burlcigh
Grimes to the champion Pirates in
exchange for Vic Aldridgc, the
Hoosier School-mastcr.
The Giants have taken their share
of riding" over thR Hornsby deal
and one of the assembled critics
Saturday was bold enough to inquire
whether Charley Stoneham had
taken John McGraw into his conf
dencc" in trading Grimes.
An Explanation
Perhaps the explanation is that
the Giants prefer curve-bali

Grimes had by far the better record
Of the two last years.
Both Aldridgc and Grimes have
had erratic and chcckcrcd careers
under various banners.
The Hoosier SchooImastcr was
both a hero and goat in the 1925
worlds series with Pittsburgh Vic

Senators. SO did Walter Johnson

the picture. Old Barney stuck it
out in spite Of the terrific hitting
off his delivery but was beaten and
also lost the chance to join tho I'M
mortal few who have three triumphs
in one series to their credit.
1925 Heroes Gone
The trading Of Aldridgc marks
the passing from the Pirate fold Of
the last of their 1925 worlds series
heroes.
Max Carey was the all-round star,
setting tho pace at bat, but Max be-
came mixed up in the 1926 Pirate
revolt. receiving his walking papers.
kiki Cuylcr's double off Walter
Johnson was the deciding hit Of the
series but Xxi likewise earned the
cnmity Of the management and now
is with the Cubs.
Stuffy McInnis. whose steadying
influence on the Pirates defense and
inficld strategy turned the tide in
their favor, hit the trail that all
fading veterans do.
Grimes, one Of the most effective
twirlers in the league when right,
has had career Of ups and downs
in twelve years Of ma jor league cx-
pcriencc. His holdout tactics in the
spring while with Brooklyn we're as
famous as his spitball offerings in
midsummer.
Last year Burleigh " prime
factor in the late-season rush Of the
Giants toward the top, especially
during their sensational western
trip. But he offset some Of this dis
tinction by being bcltcd all over the

that ruined the last slim pcnnant
hopes Of the McGraw clan.

Baseball Experts Are Pzng Over Latest Surpr
YANK SKATERS
FAIL IN RACE
AT OLYMPICS
Scandinavians Take 500 Meter
Event-Farrell Ties For
Third Place

st. Moritz, Switzerland, Feb. Is.
F. R)-In binding storm and with
the ice track under q half inch Of
snow, Finland and Norway divided
honors in the Olympic speed skating
championships today.
Bernt Evenson Of Norway, and
Clas Thunberg, of Finland, tied for
first place in the 500 met-r race, in
which the chief American hope.
O'Neil Farrell, Of Chicago, finished
in another deadlock for third place.
The event was won in the last
Olympics by an American, Charles
Jewtrap, who did not defend his
title.
Evenson and Thunberg, who has
skated in the United States, each
covered the distance in 43 4/lO Sec
onds, considered remarkable time
under the adverse racing conditions.
Farrell Did 43 $40
Farrell, who was strongly backed
to win by the American contingent,
was timed in 43 6/1O seconds, the
same figure credited to Road Lar
sen of Norway and Jaako Friman Of
Finland.
Farrell might have done better
had he been paired in his heat with
q faster skater than 'Bertil Backman
Of Finland. The American took the
lead at the gun and was forced to
make his own pace all the way.
The other Americans, lr-'ing
Jaffee, Valentine Balls, and Eddie
Murphy, failed to place within the
first six.
Thunberg Is Sensation
The most sensational heat of the
race, which was run on q time basis,
brought Thunberg and Larsen to-
gether. For 400 meters Larsen set
q terrific pace and appeared . like
ly winner, but Thunberg uncorked a
terrific closing burst and passed the
Norwegian in the stretch.
The time made by Thunberg and
Evenson in the 500 meter race
clipped three-fifiths of a second from
the Olympic record held by Charles
Jewtrap Of the United States. The
worlds record is now held by Roald
Larsen with credited mark of 43
1/1O seconds made at Davos, Swift.
zerland, last week.
America Unimpressive
Americas first performance in
the 500 meter race was far from i'm
pressive when Murphy was timed in
8 minutes, 10 $40 seconds, nearly
forty seconds behind the Olympic
record.
Ivar Ballengrud of Norway
jumped into the lead in this event
when he covered the course in
$3.50 1/lO.
Charley German, the Canadian ace.
withdrew from the 5,O0O-meter race
after q protest over the result Of the
500 meter event. Germans chances
Of making a showing in the shorter
race were dissipated when his COM
petitor, Kos Of Holland, fell and
threw the Canadian out of stride. Of
ficials refused to give German an

BIG TEN CAGE
RACE is CLOSE
Purdue Leaps First Hurdle,
But Faces Crucial Games
in Next Six Days

Chicago, Feb. 13.--(Ap-Thc field
has thickencd in the Western Con-
ference basketball race with the
likelihood that somebody may be
clbowcd out Of tho race in the eight
games scheduled for the next six
days.
Purdue leaped the first of it's
closely spaced high hurdles by de-
feating Michigan handily, 1926,
Saturday night, and confronts both
Illinois, the hope-wreckcrs. and In
diana, the Hoosier nemesis, this
week. Four straight victories
adorn the Purdue record, but the
next six games in ten days may tell
different story.
OF Purdue's three nearest con-
tenders, Wisconsin, Northwestern
and Indiana, Northwestern does not
met Purdue.
Six of the conference teams have
two contests carded for this week,
three of them in the first and three
in the second division. Purdue, In
diana and Northwestern arc the top
half squads and Chicago, Illinois
and Ohio arc the "also-rans' play
ing twice.
Another Climax Saturday
The schedule works up to another
climax Saturday night when Purdue
travels to Indiana for their return
combat. In the first meeting Pur-
due came out victor, Is to 25. One
more defeat would put Indiana vir-
tually out Of the race.
Wisconsin, runner-up to Purdue,
faces the comparatively weak Ohio
State team, which has flashed only
twice in six games.
With the addition of powerful
reserve material made eligible by
semester exams, the Badgers are
strongly hopeful of another victory
while they await some disaster to
Purdue which will throw a tie for
leadership into their laps.
